Reviews of SEI Claremont Media Console with Electric Fireplace

Customer Ratings:

Just finished putting it together and giving her a test run. Good to great quality. Looks great, easy assembly. They say "glass remains cool to the touch" which is 100% accurate and why we purchased for our living room thinking we wouldn't have to worry about our 14 month old burning himself. HOWEVER, what they don't tell you (until you get it and see the big warning sticker) is that the grid directly above the glass and exposed to everyone gets VERY VERY HOT. NOT good for kids or even animals. That being said, we really like it and still think it is a great value.

This was my 1st time ordering thru Amazon and my experience was rewarding. I was a little worried about ordering something on line without actually seeing it, pictures don't always give the proper representation of the product that is displayed. With that said, I am very pleased with the Electric fireplace that I recieved, it came in two boxes (one being the wooden console and the other the fireplace insert)and the UPS agent brought right into the house for me.

Now a couple of hints that will make the assembly easier: When you open the box, have a vacumm cleaner near by to remove the styrofoam from the items, due to static, the styrofoam is difficult to remove from the wood, but the vacumm will make cleanup easier as you remove from the packing. Inventory your parts and check off the paper as you locate them and then spread them out for easy recognition. Before you start assembling, spread a blanket on the floor to eliminate potential scratching, then follow the step by step instructions and take your time. Took approx 2.5 hours to assemble, this included removing stickers after the items were assembled (leave stickers on until assembled), the cam locks require a #2 phillips screwdriver, but I suggest using a #2 flat screwdriver to get the cams tight, then go back with the phillips to break the edges of the slots, this will allow the cover caps to be inserted into the cam. I utilized the corner shelf on the back of the console, so it would fit in the corner of the room and it is mounted on hinges, so if you want to eventually put it on a wall the shelf will just fold down.

The heater insert comes with a remote control that allows you to adjust the lights in the logs and also adjust the intensity of the flames. The remote will also turn the heat on / off as you need, there is a temperture switch located in a hidden panel that will allow you to set the heat and will shut off automatically once the temperture is reached. Very pleased with the realistic look of the logs / flame and also the adjustable shelfs that are located on each side of the console behind glass doors.

Downside: The media shelf is only 13" deep, did not allow my cable box to fully sit on the shelf without overhanging in the front, but by eliminating the back plate on the console, this was easily rectified.

Overall for the money, this was a great addition to my living room and the 55"flat screen looks great sitting on top.

This corner unit fireplace takes some time to put together. I would say at least 1 hour. The firebox had an issue when first plugged in, the heater blower sounded like a sneaker in dryer (clunk, clunk). We took off the back panel and discovered that through shipping a metal plate had fallen onto a rotating piece. We pushed it back into place and the unit is working just fine. It looks real nice holding a flat screen tv and the cable components and dvd player fit perfectly. Yes, I would recommend it.

Honest reviews on SEI Claremont Media Console with Electric Fireplace

This is a nicely designed console. It fits perfectly in the corner where I installed it and it looks good. But there are some

negative issues as well. The console arrives complely unassembled. Mine arrived with some damage. I contaced customer service and they were helpful but I decided to repair the damage myself rather than to pack it all up again and return it.

Assembly is not all that easy. A number of the pre-drilled holes were way to small to hand screw into unless you are a professional body builder. So I had to re-drill many of the screw holes. The assembly instructions are pretty good but the print is very small and difficult to read.

The burner unit arrives seperately. The manual specifies / suggests a dedicated electrical circuit, so for safety's sake I installed a new circuit. I already had a proper breaker, room in my panel, wire and outlet box. so it didn't cost me anything but time. If you can't do this yourself it might add a couple hunderd dollars to your costs to hire an electrician and to buy the necessary components.

I'm fairly handy and this not my first rodeo but it took me about 5 hours to complete this project. One more thing, the packing material flaked apart and made a big mess that was unavoidable no matter how carefull I was to not make a mess.

In spite of the experience being an overall P.I.T.A. the end result is a nice looking and relatively inexpensive corner electric fireplace / tv stand.

I love the fireplace but did have a problem with the remote. I called the company that made it (southern enterprises)

They would not even discuss it with me. They told me they were sorry they could not help (all they said) amazon

was wonderful they tried everything to help even calling southern enterprises to try to find a solution. Amazon was told the same thing. My advice don't buy anything this company makes. Amazon was great. I will buy from them again.

Discount Jarden Patton Milkhouse Heater

Customer Ratings:

For $26 its definitely worth the money. The temperature control isn't exactly the most accurate. You don't have a temperature scale just markings from off to hi. There are two heater settings, lo and hi. The heater fan is a little noisy in comparison to the honeywell heater. Honeywell HZ-7200 Cool Touch Oscillating Heater w/ Smart Energy Digital Control Plus

But for half the price its a pretty good deal. However if you want a quieter heater go for the honeywell.

Runs real hot or not at all. With control knob set half-way it blasts out hot heat then turns itself completely off. If I try to reduce the heat, it doesn't turn on at all. I'm oscillating between very cold (it's off) and overly hot (it's on). Will return it and spend more money on something that can be controlled.

Honest reviews on Jarden Patton Milkhouse Heater

i purchased this item because of unseasonably cold weather in south fl.i own two patton heaters purchased some years ago,one at k mart, the other at target.both seem well built and have worked very well. most stores were sold out of space heaters,so amazon.com seemed like a good alternative. i have no problem with amazon.com or the seller, . the product was shipped promptly and boxed very well.the problems with the new heater were,top two sheet metel screws to attach the handle fell thru the pre drilled holes, two of six screws holding the back housing on were stripped out, two of four rivets attaching the fan motor housing had pulled out. i compared the other two heaters i bought years ago to the new one,the one difference was machine screws holding the top handle on, not sheet metal screws. i needed the heater so i repaird the problems myself. bottom line is i never again will buy patton products [unless they start manufacturing there product in the U. S. A. as they should be]. I do not recommend this product.

These little heaters used to be very good. I would buy one about every three years because after that long the plug would start to get hot. I would just replace it with another one. The last one I bought the plug got hot after about 10 minutes use so I took it back. The replacement was worse. After 10 minutes use it was almost to hot to touch. They have obviously reduced the wiring size to a dangerous size. I would not recommend them now to anyone. They could start a fire, I think, if left on for an hour. I still have one I've used during the winter for the past two years and it does not get hot after using all day long.

This is an excellent little heater. I had the previous version for and it used it almost daily for about two years, I just bought this new one to replace it. It's very quiet, easy to use, and puts out a good amount of heat. My favorite feature is the thermostat, I can set it so that while I'm sleeping it keeps at a constant temp. It turns off at the desired temp and turns back on if it gets too cold. It's very comforting to know that I won't wake up freezing.

It's small, it's lightweight, it keeps me warm in my refrigerator of a house in Colorado where we've have snow 4 times since Oct. 1. Haven't gotten the heat bill yet but it has to be cheaper than my $250-340 electric spread.

This is a great little heater and we wished it would work. It makes a grinding noise when in rotation mode.

Which is an obvious reason for return. We paid more for this heater in hopes of getting Honeywell quality.

A three to five week shipping time, for replacement, from Amazon is unacceptable.

We will look for another heater.

I set this up as a Christmas gift for my wife, sent her to the movies with my daughter and when she got back my son and I had the fireplace setup in the bedroom. She looked at it and thought it was a gas fireplace (we have two of these in the house). This fireplace is INCREDIBLE! The fire is real looking, the heater is perfect, it ships with an LCD remote that is easy to operate and allows you to control the room temperature. One of the best gifts she has ever received. The media center itself is not only functional but is extremely beautiful. The wood work is pristine. My only complaint is that two of the screw holes were a few millimeters apart and it was a little tricky to fit. But I would not take any stars away from this beautiful magnificent fireplace! I should also mention that the unit shipped quickly, was delivered by UPS freight truck. It was very heavy but that's a positive, it's a solid piece of furniture. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for an electric heater.

This unit has kept me very warm this winter. The single unit warms my top floor easily if I keep it running at a medium/low setting. The water is to keep the air feeling warm so you don't need as much heat. Couldn't have survived my winter without it! Good customer service as I got a manual that was older than the actual model of my unit.

I had a smaller version and really liked it. I purchased this one as a gift and the family loves it! They have an old house and their large living room is always cold in the winter. We've had a few very cold days already and they tried it out. They said they were warm and cozy and just loved it. It's also pretty quiet.

I LOVE this little heater. I live in St. Pete Florida and needed a space heater for the unseasonably cold weather that we had here. I live in a 650 sq. foot, poorly insulated, garage apartment, and this heater really saved the day when it was in the 20's and 30's outside. We ran only this heater and not our central heater, as the latter costs a fortune and does very little in the way of actual heating. The space heater was used mostly in one large room that comprises about 40% of our apartment, and also in the bedroom which is about 25%. In the bedroom with the door closed this sucker kept it quite warm, even on low (and the bedroom is like 15x13 feet). Granted it takes an hour or so to heat the whole room, but it worked great (so great that we had to shut it off in the middle of the night because we were sweating under our heavy comforter). In the large room, the heater did an admirable job and kept it bearable throughout the cold spell (and that large room has so many drafts it's like all of professional sports combined). Now, with the weather more temperate (40's and 50's) this little heater heats whatever room I'm in without a problem.

I love the high and low settings and the fact that the high setting draws only 1200W (as opposed to 1500W for most space heaters). The unit is quite small and no part of it is too hot to touch at any time. It is a breeze to move from room to room. This heater would be a good choice for anyone with children or pets, as it has a knockover shut-off. It is very quiet (though not silent as some have said). In a room with any ambient noise, you're not likely to hear the heater. In a quiet bedroom it sounds like (surprise) a small fan. There are some days when it sounds a little bit rough on startup, but this noise goes away within a minute or so.

My unit has held up great (I've had it for a few months now and ran it 24 hrs a day for weeks), but I am very careful not to knock it or use it in a humid area (like a bathroom). I could see this heater breaking if it is knocked over or hit against something while moving it between rooms. Also, I take care to hold the heater with one hand whenever I turn the on/off knob with the other hand, because the knob takes a good bit of torque to rotate. If I were to turn the knob without holding the heater I would be twisting the whole heater on its base which could potentially damage the oscillation feature. With proper care this heater seems like it will fare well.

For me, this heater was a great buy. It was relatively inexpensive, it is small and easy to store, and it puts out an admirable amount of heat for its size. I wouldn't rely on it to bring a large room up to a short sleeve and shorts temperature in the dead of winter, but it will definitely take the edge off the cold. In a closed room this heater will bring the temperature up nicely.

Amazon, as always, was a pleasure to deal with. Oddly, the manufacturer's packaging looked like it had been opened and re-taped, but the interior packaging appeared factory fresh. I guess it could have been opened and re-sealed, or the Sunpentown factory just tapes up their boxes sloppily. Either way, the heater is great, and I am quite pleased.

A little smaller than I had anticipated, this little heater does a nice job. I bought it for a basement tool room we have, which stays very cold in the winter. Turn this baby on and in ten minutes it's comfy in there. The amount of heat emanating from its small front doesn't seem like it will heat a room well, but it does. It's very quiet, you can't tell when it's on, whether it's set on oscillating or not. It oscillates about 90 degrees.

Having small children in the house, I like how you can touch it anywhere during its operation and not get burned. The automatic shut-off feature is also a good thing. There are two settings, low and high (600/1200 watts), and both seem to do the job well.

Honest reviews on Sunpentown SH-1507 Mini Tower Heater

After I read all positive and negative reviews, I decided to buy this product because as noted in many 5 star reviews, it could provide enough heat for a room. Well, the unit is functioning but its heating capacity is very poor. As long as you are within 1 meter diameter from the unit, you can feel the heat. Otherwise, it is a waste. I don't understand how people say it can provide enough heat for a 12X12 bedroom even with a vaulted ceiling! Are you kidding me?

There is contradictory information regarding the temperature control on this heater. I want to confirm that the unit does NOT have any built-in control for temperature. I verified this with the manufacturer. It generates heat as long as it's on setting "1" (600 watts) or "2" (1200 watts). I like the unit, it's pretty, it's quiet, and it heats my 14x14 home office so well (even at the lowest setting) that I unfortunately have to return it because I simply do not want to keep turning it on and off. Like another reviewer said, I wish they included a thermostat: that would be a winner.

I received this heater for Christmas for my home office. The room is 12 x 16 and it is the last room in the house to get heat. It is usually 10 degrees colder than other rooms. This heater is extremely well made and sturdy. It took me a few times to find the setting I wanted to warm the room to the temperature I wanted but it has maintained it perfectly since then. I highly recommend this heater if you want one that makes very little noise and prefer a low profile instead of the radiator look.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This heater went into a large bathroom we have in our adobe and concrete cabin. I wanted something that could be left on and would regulate heat in a more gentle way than the little cube heater we had before. This heater is exactly like the electric baseboard heaters we have in a couple of our other bathrooms-as far as design goes. It doesn't blow heat and it is hard at first to tell if it is even on. Yes, it's on, even though it's virtually soundless.

I give it 4 out of 5 just because it is significantly less powerful than the built-ins, but it is also significantly cheaper. That might sound like a kind of stupid point, but I am just wondering if this will turn out to be only as effective as those flat panel "warmers" that people frequently use under their desks to keep their feet warm. I also gave it 4 because of its kind of silly control knobs. I think they are more for show than actual function and they are more irritating than useful. I actually took out the instruction manual to figure them out (yes, I know, something a person should ALWAYS do first) and that just confirmed that I had, indeed, figured out what they were for.

I'm using this heater to hopefully keep a west facing wall that is shaded from freezing this winter. I have it running parallel to the wall and directly in front of it, just like a baseboard. It is not the only heater in the bathroom, but it will be the only one that is set to be left on when the temperature dips below a certain amount. Right now it is too warm out to see if the heat sensor knob consistently works, but there is the ability to set the temp in 5 degree increments.

If you don't have the ability to add hard-wired heaters to your home, this style of heater is a good alternative and it's gentle heat is much nicer on your skin and eyeballs than the effective, but harsh, little blast furnaces some electric heaters are.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Our girls' room is approximately 120 square feet and is easily the coldest room in the house. We've tried radiator type oil heaters but they're so slow to heat up that it's hard to change the room temp in a pinch. We thought we'd try a baseboard heater, being mindful that with toddler/crawlers the heater can't be on when the kids are on the move. Some observations:

The plastic feels cheap and the knob is flimsy.

The heater doesn't appear to kick in unless the room temp drops lower than the setting.

The heat elements never turn red, but it does get very hot to the touch.

On high, there's a distinctive low thrumming/buzzing sound. Tolerable.

It's not as long as I thought it would be, so it's pretty much good for a bedroom, but not much else.

I'd buy this again if it were priced right, but just make sure you get it for the right sized space, probably about half of what the recommended space allowance should be.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This heater releases a good amount noh heat and warms my sons smallish room decently. The problem is that it says not leave it near drapes, furniture, etc. This makes sense, but 3 feet? That's a foot circle. So,I have to keep it in the middle of his room, and it just doesn't look great there, and I have to put it away every morning. It is certainly inconvenient. The grill also gets pretty hot, easily burning you when it has been in use for a while, so be careful. At just over 5000 btu's, it puts out a nice amount of heat, easily warming my sons dormer room, which is not well insulated....of course, it hasn't gotten REALLY cold yet, but I think it will do a nice job, even when temperature really drops. I like the options, of time and temperature, though I just keep it at 75 degrees. What is also nice is that it does not dry out his room. We have forced air heat in the house, and that really dries things up. This makes it much more comfortable for him. I do worry that he might get burned if he wakes up and walks into it (even though it is not in has path to walk out of his room). Since he is 10, I am not so concerned, but I wouldn't leave it in my 8 year old's room, as she tends to walk around a lot. It is perfect for heating a small room without drying it out, just be careful not to keep it anywhere near anything, as it gets so hot that it could be potentially dangerous.
