Nothing smells or looks like a real fire. However, the looks of this one comes close. We are enjoying it. Installed it in the summer and have been using the fireplace. Love the adjustable features. Just started using the heater and so far so good.

I purchased this as a gift for my wife and went through the instructions step by step in setting it up in an existing fireplace only to find that while it looks great it does not however produce hardly any heat at all. Unless you're standing, not sitting like you would a real fire place, but standing literally directly in front of it and over it you will not feel any heat. I contact the seller and was basically told that, "it was what it was", and I'd have to deal with it. Highly aggravated now since I already went through the not so simple task of trimming it out in order to fit the existing opening, as well as running wires up to the attic and then down behind the wall through to properly mount the thermostat control I now had to undo all I had accomplished in order to package it back up and send it back due to no cooperation or help of any kind from the seller. Amazon however was and usually are easy to deal with on returns. I would NOT recommend this product if you are expecting it to maintain some warmth in a room any bigger than a small bedroom or large closet. But again, we were impressed with it's all around look. So just don't purchase on any grounds to based on using it as a heater.

DeLonghi SafeHeat Oil-Filled Radiating Heater Reviews

Customer Ratings:

It took me awhile to find a small portable heater that would turn itself on at a specific time as well as turn itself off at a specific time. Most portable heaters had timer shutoffs but required you to first turn them on. My goal was simple, warm up the bathroom before I got up in the morning. This Delonghi Model filled the bill. The timer mechanism which turns the heater on and off is accurate and reliable. The thermostat also works accurately and reliably to maintain a very even heat.

It took a little experimentation to determine how long the heater had to run at the various heat settings to warm up the approx 10X10 bathroom so I knew when to have it cut on to raise the temperature to the desired level for my early morning wakeup trip. Long story made short, it works quite well in achieving the desired result... I have it set to turn on two hours before I get up and the bathroom is, as a result, toasty enough each morning. I should disclose that the heater operates in a bathroom with a 12' ceiling which is a bit taller than the typical 8' ceiling more commonly found...it requires a longer warm up time as a result. I can also report that the heater is totally silent. The only sounds I've ever heard are some very light tapping sounds of very short duration when it first comes on and up to temperature(tis the nature of applying heat to metal). Same thing happens when it shuts off and begins to cool down. I should emphasize that these sounds are very subtle and of short duration. Barely noticeable.

I have read some other comments regarding an odor emission. I noticed the same thing the first couple of times it was used but absolutely nothing since. I'm sure it was some kind of protective coating they apply to the surface at time of manufacture. In any case, with the exception of it's initial break-in, no odors since.

Summary: Very pleased with the performance of this space heater for my purpose. It's not designed or built to heat large areas but is quite effective and efficient in heating modestly sized areas. I really like the convenience of automatic turn on and off, which by the way can easily be suspended or readjusted as necessary. Because it is of the convection type design it provides a very even heating without the hot spots the small forced air heaters can generate. I would deem it safe to use around children and pets as well. No extremely hot exposed surfaces and has the required safety shutoff mechanisms if the unit should ever get knocked over.

Read a lot of good things about this heater. Not all of it was true. I gave 3 stars as the features are good, it quiet and does give off decent heat for medium rooms. I live in MI, winter is a bear at times, and when trying to save cost, this is a good heater for a medium to small room (10x10). Unit will struggle and you will be cool to cold in a room much over 10 x 15 unless you can really close off the room well. Would not recommend this for someone that likes it toasty and has a large room, this would just take the nip out if that.

It works well for a small bedroom but don't use it for a living room. Also, I tried to carry it one day while it was cold and dropped it with the bottom facing down. Because they're made of cheap plastic, two of the casters broke! Only one side has a handle, not the onther side, so it was easy to slip from my hand and drop. Finally, you should know that while the unit does work, it takes several hours to heat a room up.

We purchased the Duraflame Portable Infrared Quartz Fireplace from Northern Tools, via Amazon. This is one of the best purchases ever; we love it! We live in Michigan and wanted something to warm our family room where we spend most of our time without turning up the main furnace. Duraflame is one of the top brands for safety and dependability. The unit is cool to the touch, and the flames are surprisingly realistic. The 1500 watts is more than adequate to heat our family room of 26 feet by 12 feet with a 9 foot ceiling. There is a low hum from the unit, but it isn't annoying. The Duraflame was purchased in late September 2012 and has been in use every morning and evening October through December (about 8 hours each day). Duraflame says their basic units will cost approximately $30 per month if used 8 hours per day. This unit has a programable temperature, so the unit will use less energy. Come warm weather, we'll wheel the unit into the spare room. We highly recommend Duraflame's Portable Infrared Quartz Fireplace thank you Amazon, and kudos to Northern Tools for their great service and incredibly fast shipping.

Works very well to make our 3 season room almost 4 seasons. We ordered ours in medium oak, however it arrived with a different wood. A call to the supplier and we were offered to receive the correct model or accept a rebate.

This is a great fast heating ceramic heater. The design is nice and compact. Great for small spaces, but strong enough that you want to keep it at least 3 feet away from you. Find that most of the heat does come out and up. Doesn't project too far out. Settings are nice the temperature regulation is nice if your using it in addition to a home or apartment heating system. This way it will shut off when the room gets warm enough.

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $581.00
Sale Price: $402.15
Today's Bonus: 31% Off

Before buying this unit , I did lots and lots of research. Consensus seems to be that you need about 40% more BTUs for a portable air conditioner than for a window AC and about an additional 10% more in BTUs if room gets lots of sun. I think this is why so many posters on many portable AC reviews(all brands)complain of lack of cooling. They buy units that are too small because they base it on the BTUS needed for window units. You can use a search engine to get guidelines for size or AC needed. I use this Sunpentown 1010E in a 275 square foot room that gets lots of afternoon sun. It cools very well with a strong air flow. No matter what you buy, look for cubic feet per minute air output. More air flow , more cool air. This one is 276 cubic feet per minute, which is more flow than many of the others of its size.

The foam insulation for this unit is ugly looking but it does seem to fill up the gaps in the window space so no air seems to get in or out. I keep the hose straight and as short as possible(it accordian folds to shorter length)so that hot air exits quickly and there is less heat reintroduced into the room.

Re ugly foam:You can also go to a store that sells and cuts plexiglass to window opening size and have them cut a circle to vent the hose(pricey because cutting a circle is expensive-$25 for the circle and $5 per straight cut for the plexiglass edge). Gives a nicer look tho than the foam insulation! Someone else on another website recommended Formular(see corning website) pink foam insulation board that you can cut with exacto knife to fit the window and a hole for the hose. Dow also has similar insulation board--there is one that is foam board and one that is styrofoam. I got the foam board because it is more rigid and because it has a moisture resistent coating. Remember that it will be exposed to the outside of the house and might get some rainwater/sprinkler water on it. Also, the foam comes in large sheets(96" high and 48"wide). I brought a box cutter to score/ cut it down to fit in my car. Used a six inch wide piece in my sliding glass door. Traced the inner circle of the exhaust nozzle

and used box cutter to make cuts around the circle and punched the circle out. I fit the hose through the hole and then attached the nozzle on the other side to keep hose in place.

I see Sunpentown also separately sells a metal sliding window insert with hole(other companies include it for free). Not sure if it is for this model or not. They have a website and very helpful customer service. I called them with questions twice before I bought.

I live in a dry area so I never have had to drain water. The machine also uses air condensation to cool the ac coils further so it is very energy efficient with great air floor and cools very well. Very, very quiet. I compared all portable acs in 9000 to 10000 BTU range to find the one with lowest watts consumed and this one draws only 873W / 8.15A. I have 15 amp breakers and didn't want to cause tripping or overheating of wiring. Would have gone for 12000BTUs if I had 20 amp breakers since I have very sunny room. Cools well and better if you start it earlier in the day when not at highest heat of the day so it doesn't have to work so hard(true for any ac actually) and will work more efficiently

Additional notes:All portable acs have non-insulated hoses, you can wrap them with insulation to reduce the amount of heat regenerated into the room.Also, the unit and hose should not be in the direct sun.

The idea of a portable AC is great. The Sunpentown machine itself is great, it really churns out cool air. The problems with the design in my opinion, which any potential buyer needs to be aware of, are the following:

1) the exhaust pipe going from the machine to the window is not insulated, so it actually becomes very very hot when the machine is operating at full bore. It is not hot enough to pose a hazard when touched, but it actuallly re-heats the room on the way to the window. Overall the room does cool down but there is an inherent inefficiency in the way the room is cooled on one side of the machine then partially re-warmed on the other. Commercial units I've seen utilize an insulated pipe as exhaust.

2) The window mounting supplies for the exhaust pipe are a complete joke, a real slap in the face to the consumer. What is needed is something rigid which can be sized to the window frame. The company supplies a piece of flexible foam to be cut to fit. It barely stays upright in the window frame. Handy people might want to cut themselves a piece of plywood or plexiglass instead.

The company has a potentially wonderful product. They need to supply a better (insulated) exhaust, and more realistic supplies for the window mount.

Honest reviews on SPT WA-1010E 10,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control

I've had one for a couple of months, and am VERY disappointed with it. It puts out cool air, but definitely not cold air... Consequently, at best, it can get my bedroom down 10-15 degrees in temp, after several hours of running full blast. (Note that I quickly gave up trying to use it in my livingroom, where it would make almost no detectable change in room temp...)

A MUCH better choice I think would be to go with a std window unit (albeit it would be more difficult to install). It would work much better, and be much less expensive as well!!!

It is incredibly loud. I bought it "just" over a year ago and today it literally DIED. For several weeks it has become even louder, making terrible grinding noises. I would move it, shut it off; sometimes it stopped and sometimes it did not. Finally today it make an extremely loud noise and died. I think spening this kind of money and having something last only a year is pathetic. Save your money and do not buy this.

Reviews of Intermatic PF1102T Freeze Protection Timer with Thermostat

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $283.58
Sale Price: $167.90
Today's Bonus: 41% Off

The MOST IMPORTANT POINT.....most people post a 5 star review after they receive a product, install it and it works. They are happy and they give a product 5 stars for working after they take it out of the box. This review is after 21 months of careful testing.

I have pages of handwritten and collected data on the problem with this freeze protection probe. But I will try to be concise here.

The Timer itself generates warmth when in the metal weather proof box. This causes the temperature to rise inside the weatherproof box and causes the freeze protection copper tube that runs through the box to cut off the pump, thinking it is now warmer than freezing, even if the outside air temperature is still below freezing. Now, once the timer is off, the box cools down and then in 20 minutes or so, the Freeze Protection will cut the pump back on and it will run until the temperature in the box rises again and it cuts off the Freeze Protection switch.

This results in your pumps turning on and running for 30 minutes and then turning off for 20 minutes, then running for 30 minutes and then turning off for 20 minutes. Ultimately, this will keep your equipment from freezing, but it doesn't really work like it is supposed to. It is better for the electric pump to come on and run for the 6 hours you go below freezing, instead of this on and off pattern.

I spent a lot of time with Intermatic Service Techs on the phone. I was obsessed with making this thing work. Mainly because I had paid $155 for this item then paid a pool electrician to professionally install it and that led to a bill of about $300 total. So I wanted it to work.

The best thing about Intermatic is that you can still get someone on the phone, if you are patient and willing to go through all of the phone menus and call backs.

First, they had me run the copper tube that works the freeze protection outside of the weatherproof box, using one of the bottom round punch outs on the bottom of the box. I put the copper tube in a short piece of electrical conduit, to protect it. Following their instructions to a tee.

Second, they sent me a new freeze protection switch. I installed the new one and got the same results.

Third, they sent me a new relay switch. I installed the new one and got the same results.

Fourth, the only part I had not replaced is the actual timer and it seemed to be working fine, so they were reluctant to send me one. The timer doesn't seem to generate too much heat, since the temperature inside of the box is below freezing when the freeze protection kicks in. It is once it kicks in, that the heat begins to build.

We ended our Customer Service Journey with the Intermatic tech suggesting I drill a hole in the side of the metal weather proof box and run the copper tube out the side of the box and down, to eliminate the 6 to 8 inches of copper tube that are exposed to the heat inside of the box, when you run it out the bottom of the box. You might have to be looking at the guts of the unit for this to make sense. But the copper tube starts at the top of the box and runs to the bottom and out a hole in the bottom of the box and then down another 18 inches or so, inside of electrical conduit. The electrical conduit and nut are not provided with this unit. That was something I picked up at the hardware store.

I have not tried this solution, because it would expose the fragile copper vein to damage. Since it would no longer be hanging inside of the electrical conduit that fastens to the bottom of the box. It would just be running out the side of the box and dangling down from the hole I punched in the side.

Maybe this would fix the problem, because only a few inches would be exposed to the heat inside of the box and more of it would be exposed to the cold outside of the box.

You can do the same thing by going out and opening up the door to the weatherproof box and leaving it open when you are expecting freezing weather. This allows the Freeze Protection to work like it should, because it comes on and runs continuously until the outside temperature warms up. I have tested this and it works.

I know you are probably thinking that seems like an easy fix, why I am complaining. But remember, with the door open, you no longer have the protection from water that you paid for, when you bought the metal weatherproof box. And my box is exposed to the elements, that is why I wanted the nice metal box.

Intermatic was willing to seek a solution with me and sent me several parts over 12 months. In the end, I believe it to be a design flaw and not a problem with the actual electrical parts. I wonder if it wouldn't be better to buy the separate freeze protection mechanism by itself and install it in its own separate weatherproof box. That way, the heat from the timer and relay would not interfere with copper tubing that turns the freeze protection mechanism on and off. They do sale the separate freeze control on Amazon. If anyone tries it, please let me know. Of course, you then have 2 weatherproof boxes on your wall, instead of just the one combo unit. So there are pluses and minuses, but it should allow the freeze protection to work.

This is a really great product. I decided that instead of installing myself I would hire an electrician.

BE AWARE the thermostat has a copper tube sensor that looks EXACTLY like a standard ground wire. My electrician thought it was a ground wire and cut it short and wired it accordingly!

Once that copper tube is cut the timer is shot and I have to order the replacement thermostat for an additional $45.

Make sure you don't make the same mistake.

Nice compact, quiet, and safe heater. Puts out plenty of heat controlled by a thermostat. Auto turn-off if tipped but very stable.

I find this heater to be adequate for my purpose which is to heat my RV during the winter. I use this unit for the front and an electric heater for the rear. Together they provide enough heat although our temps have only gotten down to the mid thirties so far. Manufacturer suggests using it for fifteen minutes outside before putting it in a confined space but I found that it took several uses to burn off the toxic-smelling paint used. Easy to use but plan to spend as much on venting material and gas hoses/hardware as you did on the unit itself.

Best Source Green Heat 1800 Sq Foot Infrared Quartz Heater Made By Life Deals

This heater is a lot cheaper than most other similiar models that are out there on the market. It works really well. It's quiet and it heats two rooms of my house very easily. I don't sleep with it on, but I wouldn't do that with any other electric heater. This one has a timer, though, which is good whenever I'm drowsy.

I have no complaints with this item. I purchased it at Wal-mart and not on Amazon, though. I simply wanted to avoid the shipping costs, etc. I priced it at Lowe's and it was ridiculously overpriced! The one listed here on Amazon is about $10 cheaper than mine, but I'm sure the shipping will more than make up for it.

Again, great heater! It does exactly as advertised! You won't be disappointed with it. Don't expect it to heat an entire home, but two or more adjacent rooms is fairly easy work for it, and I'm sure your indoor pets will have no complaints snuggling near it. It's safe to touch, too. The wheels on bottom of it make it easy to reposition without lifting.

Suncourt HC300 Heating & Air Conditioning Booster Fan Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Based on the other reviews, it sounds as though the EQ2 works for some people and doesn't for others depending on their individual room and HVAC configurations. I have an upstairs room with a vaulted ceiling that is 10 degrees Fahrenheit hotter or colder than the rest of the house. The room is more than 200 sq. ft., has only one vent, and is the farthest from the blower. I've had my EQ2 now for 3 years and it is still working fine. The EQ2 brings the temperature difference down to about 4 degrees, which is livable. I tried out the AirFlow Breeze that has 2 DC fans in it but it didn't work as well as the EQ2.

Like everyone else I have a room that doesn't get the benefit of enough heat. Is is fed by a side duct off the main furnace duct really a bad design because the heat on its way up three flights races past this duct and even a scoop doesn't cure the 5 degree deficit. I put this fan over one of the two outlets for this side duct, AND BLOCKED THE OTHER to prevent the fan from just pulling air from the other vent. It now has to pull from the furnace and the 5 degree difference disappeared. It is also on a thermostatic control.

Works as advertised. My family recently moved into a 2-story colonial, and the airflow coming out of the vents in the master bedroom is a little weak, making it warmer than the rest of the bedrooms on the top floor. I could turn down the thermostat, but that would freeze out the rest of the house. The Suncourt (HC500) and Airflow Breeze boosted registers caught my eye, but I wanted a quick solution (i.e. no order-and-wait) and the local Home Depot had the HC300 in stock.

What can I say, but "it works". Without the HC300, the airflow (floor vents shooting upward) reached a height of 3 ft (based on holding my hand above the vent), and with the booster, it reached a perceptible height of 5 feet. With a single booster over 1 of our 2 vents, the master bedroom was noticeably cooler. In fact it worked so well that I ordered two in-vent boosters (HC500) so that I have one for each duct. The weather has cooled down, so I'm unable to compared those to the HC300, except that they are quieter.

As far as noise goes, the HC300 is not silent, but it is far quieter than a Marpac white noise machine set to the lowest setting (we use that in our baby's room). Actually, for use in a bedroom, I find the low level of white noise kinda soothing. As an added bonus, the fan in the booster doesn't turn off until the air temperature from the ductwork reaches a preset temperature. That means that after the AC (or heat) has turned off, the booster is still scavenging the remaining cool (or warm during the winter) air from the ductwork.

This is a great solution if your airflow to a room is weak, but I can imagine some circumstances (strong airflow, but warm air) where boosting the airflow won't help or you'll have a ceiling effect. Yes, you ideally would want to call in a professional to rebalance the ductwork, but in many instances it would be cost prohibitive (i.e. ripping up flooring to get to the ductwork).

I give it a 4 out of 5, with 1 point deducted for the (albeit low) noise level.

Honest reviews on Suncourt HC300 Heating & Air Conditioning Booster Fan

Yep, I gotta agree with the other reviewers that this is a waste of money. Great concept, poorly executed. It does turn on and off automatically, but that's it's only good point.

I have an upstairs bedroom that gets about 5-6 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. Warmer even than the adjacent bedroom. Put one of these over the vent, checked the temperature all day, and there was no difference. I think most computer fans are probably quieter and blow more air. All this seems to do is churn the air around a bit.

While I'm not a mechanical engineer, I think this product could have been designed better, without adding cost, and actually might have worked.

Save your money. If you have a vent that's not vlowing much air, try removing the grill. The grill restricts the airflow and removing it might be enough to help.

Not only that, it's awfully embarrasing when you get into the car with a passenger. The odor is caused by mold and bacteria growing on and around your evaporator. Changing your car's filter will NOT make the smell go away. You must kill whatever is growing and that is what this product does. It works well and you only need to use it once or twice a year. The can comes with a two-foot long plastic tube (I don't know why they don't show it in the photo) that's used to apply the anti-bacterial foam directly to the stuff growing in your evap. Don't let the car dealer rip you off. This spray will help you solve the problem yourself, for cheap.

Review of Comfort Zone® Mini personal heater CZ25

Customer Ratings:

This small heater is a dynamo. It is not the quietest but it will heat a small room faster and more consistently than any other small heater and as well as many that are much larger. If you want the most heat in the smallest package this is your best bet.

The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the first one I purchased only lasted 4 years. But at this price it still is a bargain.

This is truly a tiny heater, and would work well for my intended location -but it does NOT have a thermostat so that it can cycle itself on and off. My other small heaters do have this feature, and it's my error in purchasing not to realize the lack of it.

All that said, it's a nice compact unit. BTW -the fan is a squirrel-cage type, not a blade type, and as such it is notably noisier than the axial-flow type fan units. This would be no issue for me, but the lack of thermostat is a deal-breaker. I'll find some other place for it I guess.

I got this heater to put on my office desk in an attempt to counteract the cold coming down from the vents on the ceiling. It has the perfect size and shape to sit on the desk, but it is TOO LOUD. If I kept it under the desk it probably wouldn't have been such a problem, but on my desk it is clearly loud. I'll return it and look for a quieter one.

Purchased the Comfort Zone CZ25 on January 5, 2013. Used it for about 30 minutes a day, 4 days a week. Died yesterday. RIP. Won't buy another product made by Comfort Zone.

When I opened this Comfort Zone CZ25 mini personal heater I unwound the cord and it immediately cracked where it goes into the housing, dangerously exposing the copper 120V wires. There is absolutely no strain relief on the cord design and the wire's inferior insulation material was so embrittled by the cold (~35F?) that it cracked instantly. Not a good thing for a heater.

Too bad. It would have otherwise been a good design if only it had been executed responsibly. I wish could rate this a "minus 2" stars because I think the manufacturer should bring them all back for repair or destruction.

I received this photocell timely, and works fine in my Dayton 150,000 BTU torpedo heater. It's wise to keep a spare as the photocells do go bad.

Honest reviews on World Marketing PP216 Reddy Heater Photo Cell Kit /Photocell

I ordered a new photo cell from Amazon and it shipped from Desa ( somepalce around Dallas). Arrived in 3 days, was as advertised and upon arrival installed in less than 5 minutes. Resolved the shutdown problem and now heater is like new. The test procedure is good reference. The photo cell has very high resistance ( someplace in meg ohm range) when no light available. With a 60 watt bulb the resistance should be below 500 ohms ( not a fully closed contact). The new one has about 45 ohms resistance with a 60 watt light source and apparently the flame has a light source about the same intensity as a 60 watt bulb. Safety swithc now works as it should.
