Our oven element in the very old GE P7 oven broke and our local appliance shop no longer does repairs. I located this replacement part after doing some research and the price was much less than from other sources and it was easily replaced in about 5 minutes with only a screwdriver and turning off the power. It works perfectly.

I was a little apprehensive buying a replacement heating element and installing it myself, but it turned out to be quick and easy! I saved at least $100 doing this project myself! I am a middle-aged female who is somewhat handy, and this was an easy project for me.

Got this to fix a broken element in a hotpoint oven. Works great, but barely fit since it ended up being longer than my previous one. Make sure you measure your old element and don't go off the shape.

When our heating element went out on our GE oven I thought we were done for -until I found this replacement! It was easy to install and worked perfectly. We do need to remodel our entire kitchen but that won't happen for a while and I don't want to start buying appliances piecemeal. This was a life saver!

But from my previous filter change i could see how much of gunk was there, that told me it was stopping the dirt of the oil.

I purchased this machine to use in a high school concession booth. We use it about 8-10 evenings per year, popping corn continually for 2 hours each evening. I researched popcorn machines for a long time before I chose this model. No other machine in this price range was recommended for this kind of use. We have had the machine for 2 years and it has performed beautifully during that time. It is very easy to use. When we use the Great Northern corn in pre-measured packages (oil, corn and salt) ANYONE can learn to use the popper in just a few minutes and the results are perfect every time. In the concession stand I use the 8-ounce packages of corn. Most of the other machines I researched would not hold that much corn, so I can make lots more popcorn in each batch with this equipment. The popper is sturdy, easy to clean and easy to maintain. Only problem is that I have to bring the machine home after every event because my family is hooked on the popcorn and will not eat any other kind. When we use it at home I use the smaller (6 ounce) pre-measured corn packages.

We have had our Paducah 8 Ounce Antique Popcorn Machine and Cart for about 7 months now and we use it weekly, if not more. It is easy to use and makes wonderful popcorn. Fresh popped popcorn from a machine is sooooo much better than that microwaved stuff. Every batch of popcorn that we have made has turned out wonderfully and the machine does it all. We just turn it on and pour in the oil and popcorn and it does all of the work. We would purchase this machine again in an instant. It also has easy cleanup. The popping pot comes right out for clean up and the tray in the bottom of the base makes cleaning up the un-popped kernels a breeze, although there are very few unpopped kernels. I would highly recommend this popcorn machine. We have also used the 6 oz and the 4 oz packets of popcorn from Great American Popcorn and recommend those too.

We ordered this for use in our home theater and it's replacing a Nostalgia Electrics Popcorn Cart we've had for the last six years. (Bought on a whim, with basically no research, from Sam's Club.)

We've enjoyed the Nostalgia cart, and use it fairly regularly (2-3 times/month). In the last six months or so, we've been getting quite a lot of unpopped kernels--up to half from every batch--and after changing popcorn a couple times, began to feel the unit wasn't properly heating and started looking for a replacement. After doing quite a bit of research this time out, we settled on the Great Northern carts as having the best mix of quality--larger capacity, metal gears and upgraded heating/cooking elements--and price. Not quite a true commercial unit, they also didn't have the commercial price tag. (And, honestly, we didn't need a commercial unit for home use.)

We settled on the Paducah cart, specifically, due to the picture/description here that showed the braided metal cord that screwed into the top of the cart, vs the standard three-prong outlet plug most carts employ. (As I write this, the close-up interior picture--second in the product image gallery--shows this quite clearly.) Since we had trouble with out previous unit's cord becoming loose and falling out easily over time, this seemed like a huge bonus, and something usually only found on those truly professional, commercial popcorn carts. Thus, we were pretty disappointed to discover upon arrival that this does NOT have the metal-covered cord OR the screw-in mechanism clearly pictured but, instead, uses the standard black plastic, three-prong cord, just as prone to falling/wiggling out as they inevitably become looser over time as the kettle is plugged/unplugged repeatedly. If basing on looks alone, or just going for the least expensive Great Northern cart popper, we likely would have gone with another unit. So, on that note, I'm fairly disappointed. When buying online, where you can't touch or inspect your item prior to purchase, you relay on the text description and photographs being 100% accurate, which was not the case here.

But, that mis-direct aside, this unit does work well. Assembly was straightforward and all the parts arrived undamaged. Once all together, which took even my non-handy self only about 40 minutes, including unboxing and moving it into place, the kettle heated quickly and I was able to pop two batches of popcorn in under 10 minutes. The corn itself popped up light and fluffy (almost no dead soldiers) and was quite tasty. Additionally, the unit was able to keep the extras warm and fresh for up to two hours after the initial pop, with a heating element far superior to what our old cart boasted.

The double glass doors make access to the popped corn easy (our old unit had one large swinging door, made out of plastic) and the stainless steel handles are also a nice, easy to grasp with buttery fingers, touch.

We found our usual popcorn method/"recipe," developed over the years, works well with this unit as well. Because I don't like the undeniably easy, but too-filled-with-fake-stuff, pre-made portion packs (see: Great Northern Popcorn, 8-Ounce Portion Packs), I keep Canola or Sunflower oil in a squeeze bottle, along with high quality bulk popcorn and popcorn salt, all in the cart, ready to go. Squirt the oil in (you need just enough to cover the bottom of the kettle), wait till it smokes, then toss in the popcorn--the cart comes with a pre-measured scoop. Once popped, dump and salt. After the corn is popped we put, roughly, 2T of real butter in the hot kettle to melt and then dump it over the popcorn and toss. (HINT: Hold the kettle lid closed and only the melted butter will pour out, keeping it from burning and/or dumping unmelted butter chunks on your popcorn.) We've found this method produces great, real buttered popcorn, that tastes far better than any movie theatre makes with no fake, chemical ingredients. (If you want "movie theater" taste, use the portion packs, but be aware you're also getting a much higher calorie and sodium count snack.)

For clean-up, we rinse (do not immerse) the kettle with water and wipe out with paper towels, and use a food-safe vinegar-water solution to wipe out the rest of the unit, and clean any smudges on the glass. It usually takes us less than 10 minutes. Every few months, we'll use Gold Medal Prod. 2095 Popcorn Kettle Cleaner on the kettle, which gets it looking as good as new.

If not for the deceptive photo that lead us to believe we were getting something we did not, I'd give the unit 4 stars. With that error though, I can't go higher than 3.

Honest reviews on Great Northern Popcorn 6035 Antique Style Popcorn Machine

This popcorn machine is just what the doctor ordered. Great popcorn, easy to make, and fun to eat.

The machine arrived just days after my ordering it. There was some assembly required and the directions were clear. After a good scrub down the popping began. The popper bowl has capacity for 8 oz. but you can use smaller packages if you want.

Clean-up is not too bad either. It will take awhile to wipe down the insides and you must disassemble the popper from the enclosure to give it a through washing.

The popper works great and we all enjoy the flavor of the fresh popped corn, just like the stuff served in the theaters only hot!

Purchased this machine after being in the Popcorn Machine market for what seemed like 3 years.. I tried every type of popcorn maker in these 3 years, and I'd always had my eye on one of these Commercial "looking" models.. Well when I saw the deal from Discount Tommy on this one I just couldn't pass it up!! Just recieved the unit yesterday and after 2-3 batches of excellent popcorn later, I am Impressed!!! I read a couple of reviews about broken power switches, and kettles being dead on arrival, but I had none of those issues, especially since the one I purchases was a factory return w/ I got at a deep discount!!! Clean up for me is not exactly as easy as everyone says, I mean you can reach in a wipe down the glass, but there is small channel between the glass panes where small piece of corn & Hulls accumlilate that prove to be be a problem whilst cleaning. Not a deal breaker, but I'm abit OCD' ish!!!! Kids love it, I love it & Mama loves it, I would definately recommend this machine to anyone thats in the market!!!

Discount LifeSmart LS-1003HH13 1800 Sq Ft Infrared Quartz Electric Portable

Customer Ratings:

I looked all over for an electric heater to heat our entire home, due to a serious issue of not having any other source of heating for our home right now. First I really fell in love with this model because Quartz heaters are so efficient in their ability to heat a room. Infrared can really heat a room better than other types of heaters, that is why farmers use this technology to heat entire drafty barns and other types locations. It also helped to see that this model would heat 1800-Square Feet, which is comparable to that of what you'll find most wood-pellet stoves capable of heating, which makes it a real consideration for a good choice of heating. Then comes the price, and you can shop around and compare, but its hard to beat the price for what you are getting overall, so I decided this was the heater for me.

It finally arrived today, and then I saw the one and only draw back to it, which I should have known... It requires a "Dedicated 15-amp Electrical Outlet". If you do not know what this means, its simple... You know how some air conditioners have their very own single outlet which is round, but can look just like a normal electrical outlet for plugging in everything else in your house. Well its got one big difference, it is the only thing that draws power off from that one single 15-amp or 20-amp breaker! If you think it doesn't matter, think again, plug something like this in on a typical house outlet which powers your TV and other household devices you can end up tripping the breaker a lot, or just simply causing a house fire because you overloaded the wiring. The box for the heater clearly states it needs a "Dedicated Electrical Outlet", and so does the instructions, but they do not make any mention of it here or on the other places I've found this same company selling this exact same heater. The other thing is it clearly states in the instructions "Do not plug it into a GFCI Outlet", that is the outlet with the buttons which say Trip/Rest like you find in bathrooms, kitchens, and locations where water is present or near.

I say "I should have known" because there is no way you can heat that much space without it taking a good bit of electricity to do it, and thus you need a dedicated outlet for such a job be it an air conditioner or a heater. So before you buy this, make sure you either have such an outlet to plug it into, or make sure you have plans for a licensed electrician to come in hook you up one before you plan on plugging this thing in. I sincerely hope this helps anyone considering this heater to have all the facts and information to make an informed purchase.

I have a very large family room/kitchen open area. I have been closing the door to the rest of my house, setting the thermostat back to 62 and running the Duraflame in the FR area. The FR warms up to 69/70 and the rest of my home goes down to 62. About half-an-hour before going to bed I set the thermostat to 66. I was concerned about my electric bill, but when it came I was pleasantly surprised that it had only gone up $12 for the entire month. Even better my gas heating bill went down over $25 for the month. The cabinet stays cool to the touch and looks like a piece of furniture. I would definitely recommend this heater.

This worked well with 5 days/week use for a few years. I like that you can lay the heater on its side to heat more floor area. However, recently as I've been laying it down for floor heat, it has been making a lot of noise. About 2-3 weeks later, it just doesn't work at all anymore. Too bad.

It's not the best heater I've ever used (I'm usually either cold or too hot with this heater no good medium), but it's pretty good.

Received the unit on Tuesday and installed it on Wednesday. We put it into our "entertainment center" which is a set of kitchen cabinets with a formica top. Merely removed the center door post/support from one of the cabinets and slid this unit into it. Filled in the sides with maple that we painted black to match the stove insert. Really looks good sitting into the cabinet under our television. "Flames" do look realistic and the "brickwork effect" helps to make it look like a real fireplace. Flames are adjustable to 6 different height/glow settings. Will probably never use the heater aspect of this because we live in Arizona and don't really need to. I did try out the heater just to see how loud the fan was. Not loud at all and, if used, wouldn't interfere with watching TV or listening to music. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who is interested in a "fireplace" but can't install a real one.

While it is 3/8's it still might not work with what you are trying to accomplish unless you get an adaptor. Some propane connectors have what is called a flared end (male) and the female receptacle only accommodates a flat end. In this situation you won't be able to connect the two unless you get an adaptor from your local hardware store or propane supplier.

I originally bought the Fire Sense Commercial Patio Heater (see my review of it). I was extremely disappointed in that product. It was absolutely not worth it! The parts were poorly made. It was almost impossible to put the heat shield together since the small nuts & bolts were not long enough to fit through 3 pieces of metal. After numerous attempts to make it work, I boxed it up and sent it back. To give you some sense of what a pain it was to put that heater together, the same day as I put that patio heater together, I also assembled a Weber Gas Grill. My father and I had more trouble putting the patio heater together than we did the finely crafted Weber Grill! Now with a new beautiful grill and no patio heater, I was then going to order a patio heater from Restoration Hardware since I thought they would offer a higher quality product. What I discovered when looking at their specs, the heater they offered was actually this same Fire Sense Deluxe Patio Heater offered on Amazon for $50 more then the FS Commercial Heater. Restoration Hardware offered the Deluxe heater for $449, but did include a cover with it. I opted to order the unit from Amazon at $304.00 and it arrived yesterday. I immediately noticed the quality of parts is much higher than the Fire Sense Commercial unit, and the heat shield went together without a glitch almost, you do have to push hard to get a couple of those bolts through 3 pieces of metal, but much better on this Deluxe heater. The Deluxe heater's heat shield is also better designed as it has fewer pieces. Overall this new Deluxe heater went together smoothly, except for one MAJOR flaw in the directions! The Deluxe Heater stand is not weighted, and there is a plastic unit on the bottom that needs be filled with sand. You should fill the plastic tote as your first step before doing anything else. I put the entire heater together & then was going to fill the plastic bottle at the end, but with the weight of the sand, I could not re-attach it (I was working by myself this time). I ended up having to take the heater apart again, so I could wrangle the base and attach the sand filled weight. The directions do not say anything about filling the plastic tote! My Deluxe Heater starts right up & provides excellent heat range!! The moral of this story is, do not try and save $50 bucks. Buy this Deluxe Patio Heater at the outset and forget about the FS Commercial unit! One other note on this Deluxe unit, to start the heater, it tells you to move the dial counterclockwise, move dial to Pilot position, and hear 2 clicking sounds. I only hear one click on my unit & need to move past Pilot to the low position for it to light. It does immediately light up & produces excellent heat. I would give this unit 5 stars, except they need to change their directions to tell you about the sand weight unit on the stand base! Enjoy!

I did a bit of research on patio heaters and finally settled on this one. The review from KLV is spot on. Just a few other comments:

1. I agree that this model really is worth the extra $50 (at least at the time of my purchase). I have assembled a lot of things in my time and this product clearly has high quality parts.

2. The only catch is filling the base with sand. I am sure there is a better technique but (as I don't live near a beach) simply pouring dry sand into the base was not an option. Give yourself a good 1/2 hour to manually stuff wet playground sand into the base (as was my only option from the local Lowes/Home Depot). I suppose you could pour gravel into it but considering this thing is going to be literally on fire, I wanted the most weight possible to hold it down.

3. As KLV noted, the directions are good but not great. I missed the small note to bolt the propane tank fasteners down before attaching the ballast. Not a huge deal but I did have to do some disassembly/re-assembly to put them in.

4. *****IMPORTANT***** I wasted about a half hour trying to light this for the first time. When I read the reviews I missed this point. The directions are wrong. KLV pointed out you need to turn the dial past the "Pilot" setting to the "Low" setting for it to actually ignite. Once you do, it fires right up. Fire Sense and Amazon should send whoever KLV is a big gift certificate because I probably would not have figured this out and would have tried to return what is now an 8' patio heater.

Best Deals for Fire Sense Deluxe Propane (LP) Patio Heater w/Wheels

Please read the review by KLV. My review assumes you read that review first. Rather than repeat what KLV said, let me embellish where I can. Let's start with the fact the heater seems very sturdy and works pretty well, though I've only used it once. Construction seems solid and unit is stable when assembled correctly. If I needed another one, I'd have no problem buying the unit again. That said, the directions are terrible so I'll toss in a few things not in the KLV review.

My unit came partly assembled which doesn't match the directions. The notes below correspond to the steps and part numbers in the directions.

Step 0: There is no mention in the directions of needing to fill the "water box" with sand. The "water box" (Part #23, the thing you fill with sand) on my unit was already attached to the unit. Detach this from the stainless steel base and fill it first. Once it's filled but before you re-install it, attach the wheel assembly and put on the tank base supports (Step 1, Part #22 in the directions). Once these are on, reattach the "water box". If you have a table or bench, put the water box on the bench and then put the base over it. Slide one side of the base just off the table so you can reach the first screw. Using an electric screwdriver in one hand, slide one of the nuts from the bottom of the water base into the hexagon shaped hole and hold it there with your finger. Spin your screwdriver in tighten mode until the nut catches the and tighten securely. Remember that you are tightening metal against plastic so go easy on the torque. Turn the base slightly until the next screw is just off the table and repeat attaching the next nut. Do this until all four screws are tight. Then put the unit back on the ground.

Step 1: My post mounts were already loosely attached to the base. Leave these loose until you attach the post support.

Step 2: Attach post support securely (Part #10), then tighten the post mounts.

Step 3: The lower post (Part #6) is the part of the post without the instruction label. Tighten the screws evenly as you attach the lower post.

Step 7: [Have a step ladder hand for the rest of the assembly as your new heater is getting pretty tall at this point]. My gas hose assembly was in two different pieces. The upper piece was already attached to the head assembly so the head assembly hose must be fed down through the post from the top (not up from the bottom as the directions say).

Step 7a: Attach the gas regulator to the lower end of the head assembly hose which now extends a couple inches below the post support.

Step 10: Only one of my tank support mounts lines up with a hole on my tank base at a time. If that is the case with your tank, line up the one hole up with tank support opposite the wheel assembly so that when you rock the heater back on the wheels to move it the tank won't tip over and hit the cylinder cover.

Lighting instructions: Again, read the KLV review. My unit also makes just one click (this is the igniter lighting the pilot light). It will appear as if nothing happens since you can't see the pilot light. Let up on the control knob and turn the knob counter-clockwise to the left to "LOW" then press the knob back in. My heater lights first time using this procedure.

Honest reviews on Fire Sense Deluxe Propane (LP) Patio Heater w/Wheels

I had some reservations about ordering this, based on the reviews that commented about missing parts and difficult instructions. However, since it seemed to be a good quality heater, I decided to go ahead (I actually ordered two of them). Perhaps they've improved the instructions since prior reviews, but I did not find them difficult to follow. I also did not have any missing parts for either unit. All parts fit together perfectly. Both units fired right up and provided nice uniform heat. Although, I will say the lighting operation is a little strange, but it works fine once you get used to it. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.

Reference the previous review about the ignition problem. It is a bit quirky, but once you get it, no problem. Just be careful if you hear the propane emitting from the burner and cannot light it soon thereafter you will want to wait a couple minutes.

Other than that, it is of quality construction and can be assembled by one person. You can tell that the directions were written in China or somewhere that is not English speaking, because there are some translation context errors in the directions. They are not huge hurdles though.

The only tidbit I have to add to the previous reviews is to be careful when tightening the bolts. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! You will strip the threading. When you unpack everything, make sure you have an open space, because there are a lot of parts and you do not want nuts and bolts getting kicked under a cabinet and missing something. They do not give you extra parts!

I purchased this blower to add it to a mid 90's Heat-n-Glo gas fireplace that never had a blower installed. The blower came very quickly from the seller and I installed it in 5 minutes. It is a little tricky to manuever the blower to where it needs to go, but not a fault of this blower.

The blower is quiet and works well. It does push some air and helps to distribute heat.

This blower was purchased to replace a 20-year old identical Regency Wood Stove blower motor. It is exactly the same motor and blower. However, you will need to retain some of the old motor wiring to cut & crimp. The new motor comes with just a crimped power cord and an attached ground wire. You will need to cannibalize the old wiring in order to use your existing power switch and thermal overload. A minor nuisance.

The new blower might also have to be rotated 90 degrees on the baseplate. In order to gain access to the bolts, you have to pinch and remove the cotter pin and then pull (hard) on the plastic blades to remove. Another minor nuisance. Make sure you have a magnetized socket screwdriver handy.

Altogether, it took my fat fingers about 30 minutes to install. The new blower is whisper quiet.

The hardest thing about these blowers was making sure I had the correct one for the fireplaces I have. I received it and had very little trouble installing it. Again, the manufacturer make the most problems. It works better than I could have imagined, to include all three blower settings. It was so good that I ordered another one because I have two fireplaces. Recommend that installation instructions from the manufacturer is downloaded before you order because the blower comes only with instructions on how to mount it and plug it in.

Don't get me wrong, this transaction went perfectly. The seller is great, and the item showed up on time as described. I was, however, surprised when I got it all set up that the fan doesn't do a whole lot: it needs more power. It still helps heat the room faster, but I was expecting a lot more. I'd probably still buy it again, as in the long run it will pay off, but don't expect your living room to be toasty in half the time.

Understand that when you receive your box, the filter itself will be unwrapped and will not have any identification on it. If your box arrives unsealed (and 2 of my boxes have) you may suspect a scam when the outside package is genuine, and an unscrupulous reseller has replaced the contents with junk.

Nordic says that they don't print the Nordic name on their product to save money. They do print the size and air flow direction, so adding their name won't change their cost. At best, it allows them to manufacture for bulk sale to other companies. Wonder who is reselling re-branded Nordic filters, and do they cost less???

Printing an ID on the filter...

1) Adds marketing push to the Nordic brand,

2) Assures the consumer they've received the quality they think they are purchasing, and

3) Puts the Nordic name in front of the consumer when filter replacement time comes.

I can't assure you that I received a MERV 12 filter, but it does resist airflow more than the MERV 8 filter I replaced does. This could just be thicker filter material or reduced surface area, not better material that will stop more and smaller particles. Nordic, despite the product picture, doesn't identify the filter as even Nordic, let alone MERV 12. {Minus 1 star.}

PS: Other vendors such as Honeywell have upgraded their standard filter MERV rating. If I re-order the part number on Honeywell sticker on my furnace, I will now get a MERV 11 instead of the old MERV 8, and pay the lower MERV 8 price. {Minus 1/2 star.}

PPS: What Nordic calls a 4" filter is actually 3 1/2 inches thick. Other vendors 4" filters are actually 4 3/8 inches thick. Measure your old one, and read the manufacture's dimensions CAREFULLY. {Minus 1/2 star.}

These filters appear to be doing a good job. We're seeing less dust around the house which is great.

One comment once I got the filter out of the box there wasn't any info on the filter itself documenting the MERV level, and in fact the shipping box was somewhat unclear as to whether I had received a MERV 12 or MERV 13 filter. To Nordic's credit they answered the phone, talked to me about the product and how they make it, and I was convinced I made a good purchase.

I will certainly look to Nordic Pure as my go to filter in the future. Very nice company, good product, good price.

The filter was the correct size and was just recently installed. The shipping box was slightly damaged. The filter fit, but was slightly less wide than the Filtrete filter I purchased last time.

Nothing to complain about, it fits and it works like any other filters. Don't know if 3M is really better or not, but this will serve its purpose.

This is one of the best small heaters you can buy IMO.. I have owned one of these myself for 2 years and bought this current one on amazon for my girl friend so she can bring her living room up to temp a little better then the regular house heat does. These heaters are easy to use, there pretty quiet and I have never had any over heating issues etc.. I live in an older house and since heating the house is expensive I tend to only run this in my room when I'm home or have the day off.. I can turn this heater on when the rooms 48-55 degrees on average and watch the temp climb to 70-75 degrees within 20min.. it has no problem fighting the cold and will even start to heat up the cold hallway if I leave the door open by accident it's a pretty powerhouse unit for it's size if you ask me. The digital thermostat on it is pretty damn accurate.. i have a digital thermometer clock thingy in my room that sits around 6 feet away from the heater and it is always within 1 degree of the heater's set temp. If you got a small room, a small living room, bathroom, buy one of these you won't be sorry.

I bought this to replace one I had for years. It seems to be the only heater with an accurate thermostat. -All1500 Watt heaters give out the exact same amount of heat, whether it is a $30 box with glowing ribbons inside or a big piece of wooden furniture with a fancy looking heater inside. An oil filled radiator gives off heat when you shut it off because of how long it took to get warm in the first place. How these thing react to changing conditions is the only difference. This heater has a circuit board for clock, timer and accurate thermostat.

The heater was perfect for our 8x12 bathroom. Love the automatic off and the temperature set. Note there is a delay before the fan shuts off (good thing).

I use it in my bathroom cause there isn't any heat source.It heats the room up very quickly & it's not noisy like my old heater. I got it because Consumer Reports gave a great recommendation for its performance & affordable price

I would have given this 5 stars, as I loved it while it worked. Nice thermostat control and warmed the room nicely with fan blowing heat. BUT it stopped heating after one month of use. I saw that Consumer Reports rated this second to a $400. heater and was hopeful it would last at least one winter. I know Holmes products are cheap and only last a year at best. It does come with a one year warranty, but if you live 50 miles from civilization like I do, that's a whole lot of hassle just to get the product you bought for this very moment freezing cold! I'll never buy Holmes again. And I wish these reviews wouldn't put words in my mouth for the one star rating I don't hate it. I'm frustrated and disappointed and cold and not looking forward to the time and hassle it will take to make it right! I totally loved it while it worked! And I won't buy again from any company that only gives a one month return/exchange policy. If they did a simple exchange, I could have a working heater within the week.

A REVIEW PS: I spoke to the manufacturer (Holmes), and they couldn't have been nicer! They're sending me a new heater this week, just as I had hoped the original seller would do. They make good on their warranties, and it was no hassle at all as I had anticipated. I will buy Holmes again! They said it was highly unusual for this heater to stop heating. So I'm back to giving it 5 stars... once it arrives and is working!

I had to research a lot to find one of these with the right hour settings that this model has.

It works well.

This was a repalcement for a previous model that lasted about 5 years.
