The heater is all that it said it would be, the only problem I had was it was set for propane gas and after it was connected to a natural gasline, it was malfunctioning but was not obvious why. I stumbled on the fact it was set for propane, I had to remove it from the wall and open the back to find this out but after I set it to natural gas, it worked great.

When I moved back to my original state and the home Dad had owned, he had been converted the house to 'all electric'! With the natural gas lines still intact I bought 5 Kozy World natural gas wall heaters and I need one more. They're Perfect! These units are simple to set low for bed time! I highly recommend these untis for both heating and astetics!

I bought one of these about a year ago and it died about one month ago. So I ordered a new one just like the old one, so I wouldn't have to change the gas lines to hook it up. Well that worked great, but this unit only worked for about 30 minutes and stopped working all together. All I can say is this is more Chinese junk, where these company's do not care about quality only about quantity.

Stay away from Kozy world products.

I purchased one of these units approx. 4 months ago. At first all was working fine, then a couple days ago I noticed a leak under the sink. I quickly traced the problem to the Quick and Hot tank. I removed the tank and opened up the housing thinking that it may be a loose fitting or something simple. What I found was that two of the three studs that hold the heating element to the tank were completely broken off and laying on the bottom of the tank housing. Since the element was no longer pulled tight to the gasket through the tank, water was leaking around it. I contacted Waste King and was told that since I did not pruchase the unit from an AUTHORIZED dealer they would not cover the warranty. This was obviously poor workmanship and I even offered to purchase a new element, but was told that they do not sell parts and would not offer any other assistance. Sorry you are just out $160. Thanks Waste King. I'll be purchasing a new one from a different manufacturer. I would urge others to do the same.

I used this unit as a replacement for the Hot Water Heater on a Franke Little Butler that failed after 7 years. The heating unit is almost identical, except was a later revision and had the Waste King label instead of the Franke brand on it. Works as advertised and functions identically to the unit it replaced.

This is my second unit. The first was installed by the previous owner so I don't know how old it was I'm guessing 5 years old at least. It started leaking and was spitting hard water deposits into the water. After removing and taking apart the tank, I realized that the heating element was still good and if there had been an easy way to disassemble it for element and tank cleaning, I could still be using it except for the leak. The leak developed in the hose that sends the hot water to the faucet. This delivery hose is flexible and must be some sort of high temperature tubing, but eventually it gives out. Could not find a replacement hose or easy way to remove it from the faucet so I ended up buying a new unit. Overall I enjoy the unit and the convenience of hot water on demand, but I wish that replacement parts were more readily available (hot water tubing) and that the tank could be flushed. Just like your main hot water heater, if you have hard water, you are going to eventually get mineral deposits on the element and tank, but that drawback won't keep me from buying it again.

Honest reviews on Waste King AH-1300-C Quick and Hot Instant Hot Water Tank

The unit dispenses hot water. The water can be extremely hot. Yet the rubber hose that this thing comes with cannot handle the job. In 1 years time, the heat from the unit will degrade the hose until it is busted and leaks water. The hose is a special hose that can't be found easily in hardware store to replace. The manufacturer don't even sell the hose. Unless you want to buy a brand new hot water faucet every time you have a busted hose, I don't recommend you buy this. Luckily I bought this unit from Costco and I can return it. But save yourself the trouble and just don't buy this.

I've used my Quick and Hot for multiple years now. The original faucet part of the system failed and leaked and I replaced it last year. The new faucet is now leaking water under the sink. The source of the leak is the rubber hose that feeds the hot water from the tank to the faucet. The high temperature hose

seems to have deteriorated, the leaking area is thin and now soft. I searched all the local big and small hardware and plumbing stores in my area. They don't carry or sell high temperature hoses. The original one is rated to 275 degrees. The Waste King website is useless for consumer help. Not wanting to spend another 100 bucks on a new faucet, I used a piece of 1/4 copper tubing. I attached a piece of good original hose to each end of the copper tube and secured it with a small hose clamp. Under the hose clamp I wrapped a couple layers of teflon tape to protect the rubber hose from the metal clamp. So far works great and should last until the rubber hose fails again. Waste King should redesign the unit without the rubber hose.

Buy Qmark HBB1004 Electric/Hydronic Liquid-Filled Baseboard Heater

Customer Ratings:

The heater itself seems well-made and runs well and heats nicely. It's quiet and retains heat. We replaced an older hydronic unit that died, and this is working well so far.

One big advantage to this unit if you are replacing an old one is the fact that this one can be wired from either the left or right end -wherever the wire already is. This was probably the biggest selling point for this heater, as we were replacing an old Isotherm (now Cadet) that was wired on the right -the new Cadets are wired only on the left and we didn't want to have to deal with the complication.

The color is called "Navajo White" and the pictures look fairly white. In reality, the color is more of a light taupe. This was fine for our decor, but don't expect a true white or even an off-white.

When ordering, note that you must also order a thermostat -there are ones that go on the end of the unit, ones that go on the wall, and ones that go on the wall and will control several baseboard heaters in one room. If you are replacing an existing heater and don't want to either fish wires or do drywall work, be sure to get the type that goes on the end of the unit. Whatever type you get, you must install the thermostat yourself -it does not come pre-installed.

I'll preface my installation comments by saying that we are typical homeowners, not contractors or otherwise in the building trades. It was the first time my husband did a project like this, but he's reasonably handy. First off, the installation instructions that are included are hard to follow -they assume a level of expertise we didn't have. However, on the QMark (Marley) web site, if you go to Heaters/HBB Baseboard Heaters, they have a much better .pdf file with photos of all the wiring. It still isn't perfect, but it's a lot better. My husband also commented that calling the junction box "roomy" is a matter of opinion, and while he found it tight, it was sufficient.

The biggest problem is mounting the unit to the wall. You must drill through the back of the heater (the holes are not predrilled) and then screw the heater to the wall (into studs). It's hard to do this without bending the fins on the heater (it's not catastrophic, but better for heat distribution if they're not bent). As every installation is somewhat different, screws are not included -depending on your application, you may need screws, molly bolts, masonry screws or something else. Be sure to get these before starting the installation.

Also note that you'll need several wire nuts -you can get them while waiting for the shipment. You need at least two of the type for connecting 2 wires.

It took Dave about 5 hours to install the heater, from unboxing it and removing the old heater to having the new one heating the room. He used a thermostat that went right on the heater. Admittedly, his total time included just under an hour to go buy some wire nuts. If you are more experienced in this type of project, it would probably take less time.

Overall, we're happy with the heater and would buy it again.

ANNA Ceramic Heater Review

Customer Ratings:

Its quiet, small in size and attractive. However the face of the heater gets really hot -you would burn your fingers if you touched it right after turning it off. Also the controls being on the rear means you have to turn it around to adjust or "learn" how to do it without looking --mostly OK except the temperature setting wheel has no lines or numbers to assist in setting the temperature so if you have a favorite setting and it accidentally gets reset (easy to do with the thumb wheel being on the back) then you will have to experiment in order to find that setting again. And as in my photos, the high / low heat output button is not obvious as to which is which and the wattage in the documentation is wrong.

Usage Update: you better not change your mind after you turn this guy off (or turn the thermostat down) because it will not restart and put out heat until it cools down -which takes 15 to 20 minutes. It apparently thinks it is overheated and thus the long cool down period is needed before it will start up again. You really have to like small, quiet, attractive and expensive in order to put up with this guy.

If you live in a small apartment, such as the styles found in San Francisco, this is a great piece. It is the least ugly heater I've ever seen, so it doesn't clutter the place. It is surprisingly small, and stows away easily when you are not using it. When you are, it cranks out heat, but rather silently. The only thing I'd say they need to improve is that the buttons on the back are poorly labled. I can't tell if I'm on the high setting or the low setting, because the toggle switch doesn't tell you which is which. Oh, designers.

Honest reviews on ANNA Ceramic Heater

I'm very impressed with this heater. Its very small, but packs a nice punch. There are two super quiet computer type fans in it which circulate the air efficiently. It doesn't makes it super scorching hot, but makes it so I don't have to bundle up and get tons of blankets on my couch. But I have this on and it roughly heats a 20x40 space in about 20 minutes. I like the minimalistic design which is super easy to use. I'd suggest getting this one over the smaller one... the price difference for the smaller just doesn't make sense.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Most small space heaters are hideous molded plastic or coldly industrial. This German alternative nails it from an aesthetic point of view.

Pros:

Really high design nice clean lines.

Simple interface

Takes some trial and error to find your perfect setting on the thermostat, but once you get it right, it holds the temp well

Cons:

Buttons are on the back so you have to use by feel

No markings on the temp control so it takes a lot of trial and error to get it set right

I have not had the electrical issues mentioned in the other reviews and have had the larger rectangular version of the heater for 7 months now.

Cheap Mr. Heater MH18B, Portable Propane Heater

List Price: $214.88

Today's Bonus: 43% Off

I was concerned when I purchased this unit. There are a number of highly negative reviews on it. However, on further research, I have discovered that the circumstances leading to those reviews could have been avoided.

When one uses this heater with a 20 lb propane bottle & accessory hose, it is imperative that you always shut the tank off first & let the heater run until it burns off all the fuel in the lines.

*** IT IS IMPERATIVE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE ***

If one simply turns the heater knob to the off position, it will trap trap 100 PSI of propane in the accessory hose. When high pressure propane sits in the rubber hose, it will chemically react with the rubber and leetch a light oil. The oil will build up and quickly work its way into the heater, clogging both the regulator & control valve.

Another very important recommendation is to purchase the gas line filter. This will catch the oily residue and protect the combustion components of the heater should one forget to follow the precautions above.

Keeping these precautions in mind, one will be able to enjoy a very well-build and flexible-use portable heater.

I don't agree with some of the reviews. I don't see that it's a fire hazard at all. My Big Buddy was delivered last week. Here's what I found:

My elevation in Virginia, About 800 feet

Ambient temperature, 72.8 (in my house). Outside temp 29.0

1. Running on high on ONE Disposable Cylinder caused unit shutdown after 50 minutes. (Pilot started to flicker, cut out and then gas shut down). Single bottle was covered with ice (I assume that's bad...)

2. Running on TWO Disposable Cylinders got me the balance of three hours smoothly and well.

3. No fumes observed at all. Some moisture, but cracking the window an inch kept it under control.

4. A lot of heat. Too much for my wood floor. I had to put it on my brick mantle. This might scorch tile.

5. It kept my upstairs (1000 square feet) at 72.5. Only a loss of 0.3 degrees over three hours. Better than expected.

Suggestion: If you are trying to run on high with disposables, use two of them. This is not in the manual.

I don't know how it works with tanks, or whether you need to feed one or both inputs.

My unit did not come with the AC adapter. The batteries work.

If you bump it gently, it shuts off.

Conclusion:

For 139 bucks, it fits the bill well enough. It appears to be very well made, but the safety features make it tempermental. For my use as an emergency heat source, it's adequate.

I've been fumbling, stumbling, and bumbling along trying to obtain the "right" combination of MR HEATER items to allow me to use their BIG BUDDY product. I strongly suggest that you decide on which heater you want, then go to and pull up the web page for that heater. Find the FAQ section for that heater. Read through the "problems" very closely. You will find there are valid reasons for those problems to occur. MR HEATER explains and provides solutions to those problems in the FAQ. One thing, in my humble opinion, is missing in the descriptions ~ If you are using larger than 20-lb tanks, you may need a "regulator" to control the pressure from the tank to your heater or other small appliance. Check with MR HEATER Tech Support before you run into problems. Be patient and be very clear about your setup. Everyone I have contacted has been very helpful and responsive to my questions. MR HEATER also provides information on the SAFETY RECALL situation with a possible solution on what to do with replacing a faulty heater.

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater MH18B, Portable Propane Heater

My heavily retro-insulated 1920 NH colonial is heated with base-board heat supplied by an oil fired water boiler. Living alone now, and seeing oil prices exceeding $4.25/gallon this summer, I decided to get creative with space heaters. After a lot of research, I bought a Big Buddy for my downstairs 12x24 office and a Delonghi TRD0715T oil-filled radiator for my upstairs, 12x12 bedroom. Both have proven to be excellent choices.

To fire my Big Buddy, I drilled a small hole in the wall to the outside, just large enough to sneak the 12' regulated propane hose (accessory) outside and into a barbeque grill size propane tank. I built a little, enclosed stand for the propane tank so I could reach out a window to turn it off and on rather than have to go outside to do it. I've been keeping the rest of the downstairs at 50 degrees as I don't use the other rooms except to walk through to get to my office. In the morning, I fire my Big Buddy up to the max 18,000 btu and in 20 minutes the room is at 60 degrees. Then I turn the heater down to 9,000 btu for a half hour or so until the room is up to 65 degrees, then down to 4,000 btu until the room is at 70 degrees, and for the rest of the day I vary between 4,000 btu and just a pilot light. At a local propane dealer, I can get a 20 lb. barbeque tank filled for $10. I keep two barbeque tanks, so when one runs out of propane, I have another ready to go. So far I go through a tank about every 10 days. No mess, no fumes, no headaches, no problems. Between this heater and the excellent Delonghi heater in my bedroom, I have so far used 1/8 tank of heating oil since August, where I would otherwise by now have used more near 3/4 of my 275 gallon oil tank. Even as heating oil has dropped considerably in price since August, that's still a huge savings.

One downside of my Big Buddy is the installed fan is not only noisy but pretty useless. To compensate for this, I have a six inch fan propped up behind and toward the top of the heater to blow the rising heat around the room. My Big Buddy isn't thermostat controlled, but who cares? When the room is up to the temperature I want, I get up out of my chair once every couple hours or so and turn the heat control up or down, and for that minor inconvenience I save a small fortune on heating oil.

If you buy the Big Buddy, be sure to turn off your propane source and let your Big Buddy pilot light go out before you turn off the unit. Otherwise, enjoy the relatively inexpensive heat from this excellent powerhouse.

Here's what you should know BEFORE you buy this thing. It is inefficient, expensive, and environmentally lousy with 1 lb disposable cylinders. If you are planning to use a 20lb propane tank, be aware that you can only get near the 220 hour (at low) performance by using 2 tanks. The heater has 2 regulators, 2 heating tiles, and 2 connections. At low and medium settings you will only use one of the `tiles'. On high, both tiles will burn brightly. The fan is noisy and sucks down D cell batteries, but really doesn't move much air. There is also the AC adapter option: Radio Shack sells it for about 18-20$. Mr. Heater Customer Service can provide the part numbers but cannot sell you the item. When you talk with them, you might as well order the fuel filters ($9.95 each) that you will need if you use 20 pound tanks. For 2 tanks, order 2 filters. The filters are a (moisture/impurity) trap that prevents the tiny holes in the heating tiles from filling up with junk. Propane may be equal at creation, but one never knows how it has been stored. Use the filters. If you use 20 lb tanks, you will also need hoses. Mr. Heater makes them in 5 and 12 foot lengths. Amazon seems to have the best price on these. You should expect to spend $100-$150 above the price of the heater for hoses, tanks, filters, AC adapter.

Feeding the rumor mill: There was a Consumer Product Safety Commission Recall of this item during the Winter 04/05. It impacted all heaters sold prior to about January 10, 2005. The problem concerned a potential malfunction of the regulator/control valve assemblies. My first heater was affected by the recall. I had no use of it for the winter of 04/05. My second heater works just fine.

Amazon Customer Service: EXTREMELY POOR as it relates to this purchase. I purchased my heater days before the recall was announced. Amazon refused to accept my return of this item even though it had not been used. They also took down product reviews alerting customers to the recall (and potential safety hazard) of this item. After numerous polite but fruitless conversations, I contacted the President of Amazon with my complaint. He has chosen to ignore it. I would probably buy this heater again despite the problems. I would never buy anything from Amazon again because of the problems.

I received the heater yesterday and connected it. As I installed it I noticed one corner was damaged an little; apparently someone dropped it on the corner. Since I already had the box opened and the holes drilled to install I decided to not send it back, the damage was cosmetic. They provide a paper template for placing the holes, they matched the holes in the panel. I find the heater provided moderate heat in one of my basement rooms.

Perfect size for 20-2 lbs of pellets and easy to handle around the stove. Has an excellent finish where the pellets slide easily-very nice.

A regular old fashioned coal hod is an example of a spout that is well engineered.

Unpacked, followed instructions started unit. When set on the lowest setting (one Light), Unit never comes on. Set it one higher (two Lights) Unit never goes off. Sometimes when I switch it from the two light setting to the one light setting the unit goes through the cool down cycle like it should but never turns the blower off. In order to get the blower to turn off you have to unplug it, then, according to instructions, you have to wait 2 hours to plug it back in. Pita.

Purchased this because I was looking for a "safe" heater for a toddler's room. Overall I'm pretty happy with this unit. It comes with a remote so that you can turn it on/off or adjust the heat level setting. it heats up a small 12x12 room quite well at a mid-level heat setting so I would imagine that it would be fine for at least a medium sized living room. safety-wise, that box is very comfortable to touch on the outside while it is on. the only potential "hot" spot would be the direct vent where the heat comes out so as long as a kid doesn't jam his/her fingers into the grate, there shouldn't be any worry about burns. price is a bit steep for what you get but overall I've been satisfied

Reviews of Dyson AM03 Pedestal Fan, Silver

List Price: $449.00
Sale Price: $399.99
Today's Bonus: 11% Off

I had a great floor fan with remote for several years and was very happy with it, but, alas, it died. I purchased this Dyson, because I have been pleased with their vacuum cleaners. And it is a technological marvel.

However, there are a few things perspective buyers should know: it is called an "Air Multiplier" not a "Fan" per se. The difference is there are no blades to move the air. Dyson says this "eliminates the "choppiness" from fan blades". The best way to describe the difference in air movement is with a regular fan you feel the air being "fanned" upon you, with the Dyson Air Multiplier you feel the air just blowing on you. Imagine the difference between someone "fanning" you with a leafy palm branch vs. just blowing air on you). I have come to realize that I prefer the "choppiness" of fan blades because the more the air is agitated

as it is augmented, the more your skin feels the air currents and the better for the evaporation of sweat and the disipation of heat. But that's just my opinion on the best cooling air movements. It is quieter at lower speeds, but noisy (like a jet engine whine) at top speeds. The remote is very small and has only three buttons, one for on/off; one for variable fan speeds (just up or down, no pre-set low, med, high); and one to oscillate. (My old fan's remote was larger and included a temperature gauge to tell you the room's temperature and it also had a light for night use). But the worst design flaw in this product is that the remote's receiving sensor is in the base of the unit(right down on the floor). So, because I have a rather high bed, I have to sit up in bed and aim the remote down towards the floof to adjust the speed or turn the unit on of off, etc. That really seems to me to be a glaring design flaw in a fan that costs over $350 dollars.

BOTTOM LINE: It's not a FAN, it's an "Air Multiplier", that blows on you instead of fanning you. I would

recommend waiting until they improve the design of the remote control.

I couldn't decide between the Dyson Pedestal fan and the Tower Fan, so I went ahead and bought both to compare. Yes we kept both as well.

The Tower fan is great for the Living Room or family room for it stays more compact (slim and low profile) and spreads the air less concentrated on one area.(high and low)There is no adjustments that can be made on this fan, meaning no tilting or bringing the unit up and down. What you see it what you get.

The Pedestal fan is great for our bedroom; we have a really high bed. At the highest point of the pedestal fan it's even to where we lay. Since the Fan is more like a standard oscillating fan, the air is more concentrated to one area, so at night we through it on medium to low and let it keep us cool at night. The pedestal fan can be adjusted to the height by simply pushing it down or pulling up on the actually circle part of the fan. (The frame tube extends or compresses very handy and fast to do) Also this fan has a tilt. (The circle head part can be aimed where you want it) This fan is a little bulkier needs more room then the tower fan. (Due to the adjustments and the diameter or the circle part when oscillating)

On both models the High setting does a lot of air, at a louder noise. We joke about it and say the jet is taking off, for the fan does lean back a little when we turn the knob up. Set up of both fans is quick and very easy

The remotes are very handy and awesome. To store the remote it's a magnet in the fan and in the remote, so just lay the remote on the fan and it sticks

Overall Great Fans, if you can get over the Price of a $450 fan, you will be happy with it. They do have a 2 year warranty with Dyson, so that is nice. Our fans always break after 1 summer; these fans have been going strong for 1 year now, still no problems.

Both fans have the same amount of air coming through them on high settings, so there no difference in power between the two models.

Best Deals for Dyson AM03 Pedestal Fan, Silver

Despite the ridiculous price, any serious fan-atic will appreciate this insanely simple device. The breeze is adjustable, the white noise is perfect for sleeping, and it just feels cool to own one. In pictures it looks like a bulky, heavy piece of equipment, but it's actually more plastic than metal, making it very lightweight (a plus from a mobility standpoint, a questionable minus from a structural standpoint). But I am pleased with everything about it. It it were 200 bucks I'd have one in every room.

Honest reviews on Dyson AM03 Pedestal Fan, Silver

The Dyson AM03 is a beautifully designed, yet poorly engineered product. One would think for $450 retail (and even for $299 on sale), that the fan would have outstanding engineering. The designers did their job, the engineers failed to consider at least one important factor in inventing a portable fan. Fans need not only cool, but should not raise the ambient noise level in a room so high that persons must raise their voices to be heard over the fan. On high the fan sounds like a jet liner taking off.

I love the look of the fan, and I would not trade my Dyson Vacuum cleaner for any other brand. But, unlike my vacuum cleaner which is designed to suck in a good way; the AM03 does so in a bad way.

The Amazon experience and the folks Buy Happier could not be any better. I am completely pleased with the buying experience. The product, however, fails to measure up.

I bought this fan on a bit of a whim. I live in San Francisco so it never gets incredibly hot but a fan is a welcome addition when we do have warmer days. So far this fan has performed better than I expected. The fan is definitely expensive but is easy to see where your money went. The unboxing reminded me of buying a Mac computer. It was elegantly packaged, concise and easy to understand. Putting the unit together took less than 5 minutes and has great fit and finish (like you would expect from a $300 fan).

It has a nice industrial feel with the plastic and aluminum housing. The weight is light enough to be portable but also sturdy enough to hold the fan in place on max speed. The fan has many speed settings and can be set easily by the remote or the actual base. As far as noise on normal settings its relatively quiet, but if you do turn it all the way up the swoosh of the air is audible. To give you an idea if I turn the fan to max and stand about 10-12 feet away it generates around 8-9db of white noise (my flat with windows open is at 51db and the fan at full was 59).

So one question might be can you tell a difference with this choppy air claim, and to be honest I really can't. It may feel a bit softer but that could be placebo. It will generate a good amount of air though.

The fan itself is easy to adjust, less obtrusive than a traditional fan and unless you step in front of the air flow path you wouldn't even know its on. I personally like the fact that when in operation only a circle around the power button faintly glows blue.

If you like minimalist, don't want your view blocked, or enjoy "mac" style engineering this probably is a safe bet for you.

Just as an FYI the power cord termination has a fuse built in so it might be wise to get a spare or at least be aware of it if your fan stops working.

This is the home version of the fountain used by the pros it is the center of any party, is fairly easy to use, and (except for the base) is dishwasher safe. It does take some space to store, and does need some attention during the party. It also requires 5-6lbs of chocolate to ensure an even flow.

I received this for Christmas from my mother and it worked only once. The motor burned out and the company would not honor the warranty. Both the company and the fountain were a HUGE diappointment. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

We rented this machine from an events store for the weekend. It was a huge hit, and the machine performed flawlessly. We are so impressed we're planning on buying one (or two) for our next event.

Before bringing it home my wife received a few instructions on it's operation, and a few hints on getting it to flow well. Basically, if it's not level you're going to need to feed it more chocolate to get it to flowing perfectly. This machine comes with leveling screws under its base and it was a breeze to get it level... and our dining room table has a fairly moderate lean to it.

In case you can't see, the unit comes with several buttons. A primary power button, a flow On button, a flow Off button, and four different heat setting buttons: Off/Low/Med/High.

This unit is capable of melting chocolate. The first night we pre-melted the chocolate, but the second night we had an extra 60 minute prep time so we just placed the chocolate on the dish and turned the heating unit on High. We couldn't tell a difference in taste at all. In the future we'll probably pre-melt it cause it's faster overall.

We used the Sephra brand milk chocolate bags. To be fair these are found for about double the price of the raw ingredients you could make yourself, but in my opinion oh-so-worth-it. From what my wife was told Sephra uses coconut oil as the primary base so that it melts consistently and at a lower temperature. If you want children dipping into hot chocolate you'll appreciate the lower melting point of the coconut oil, and the 'Low' setting of this unit. In the future we're going to play around with adding additional ingredients like peanut butter, spices, and flavorings.

The machine ran for about 5 hours consecutively without any sort of hickup. Near the end of the night instead of adding more chocolate I let it run with a bit of a 'step' to the flow.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:

1) If the chocolate hasn't settled then continue to step 2. If you're cleaning it the next day then just turn the heating unit on High and wait about 45-90 minutes (depending on the chocolate you've used) and then run it for a few minutes to finish melting the chocolate on the tiers.

2) Unplug the machine. Disassemble the tier set and after a quick rinse you can put the three different platters in the dishwasher on the top rack. Or hand wash, it's easy either way.

3) Remove the funnel and hand wash. Use hot soapy water and the chocolate comes right out. (Perhaps another selling point to the coconut oil based chocolate)

4) Use a damp rag to clean the surface of unit base.

Intro...

Upon researching various types of heaters for the past week, I came to the conclusion that this heater would be a good pick for a bedroom. I ended up purchasing a Lasko heater for the living room and this DeLonghi Mica Panel Heater for the bedroom. The reason I chose this brand over other mica panels is due to my experience with their products in the past. I've owned a DeLonghi Magnifica Espresso machine, which has worked flawlessly for over 4 years along with a DeLonghi Radiator Heater which has worked just as great. If you dont know much about DeLonghi, they are a European-based company that makes quality appliances, specifically utilizing German-engineering.

Overall Thoughts...

Upon testing out this new technology heater, I noticed that it had all of the great features that a radiator heater had. To add to the conventional radiator heater, it also features instant-on heat while maintaining a low-profile size. Due to the thin profile, this heater can be wall-mounted like a picture frame. However, I'd recommend keeping the heater as low as possible since heat tends to rise, pushing the cold air down. Another great feature about this heater is the quietness during use. Because there are no fans or moving parts, there are no constant noises. A conventional radiator heater makes a considerable amount of noise from the oil dripping inside. So how is the heat output from this new Mica Thermic technology? To put it short, it provides an ample amount of heat similar to an oil radiator heater, but has the advantage of instant heat. This gives you instant warmth when you stand in front of the heater immediately after you turn it on. This is something that you cannot obtain with a conventional radiator heater.

Final Thoughts...

Overall, I'm very surprised at this new technology for heating. It provides all of the great radiation type heat which maintains the temperature of the room quite well, without having to wait. Also, the low profile gives many options on where to put the heater. Lastly, the device is VERY safe. The cage around the heater provides 100% security from being burned, and the front panel can be touched comfortably without ever being burned. However, upon checking the temperature of heat output with an IR thermometer, it provided 300-400 degrees F of heat. Its quite surprising to see those types of numbers, as you can touch the front panel stays considerably cooler than the heat output. The heater also has an auto-off feature if it tips over. A great heater for an enclosed room, however, be sure that the room is around 150 sq. feet or less. Any larger, and this heater will not provide an ample amount of heat. For larger spaces, take a look at the Lasco Space Heater.

This is our third winter with one of these. We'd originally gotten it with couple of Vornados --and, in spite of a CR recommendation, we should've skipped the Vornadoes and gotten two of these. THIS thing really, really works well!

We use it in a 200 sq ft bedroom, with the rest of the house left at 63 at night. On the LOW setting this heater can easily push the room to 80 on a 20-degree night.

A control suggestion (to be followed under your own advisement!):

Right from the beginning I used a Lux WIN100 plug-in thermostat. I removed the sensor and attached a 30-foot extension lead to it. The thermostat and heater are positioned on the colder outside wall, with the sensor on a small homemade pedestal on my wife's night table, on the opposite side of the room. Works perfectly. If you have any mechanical/electrical ability, the modification takes about the same time as writing the description. (I've since learned that terrarium-keepers use the same method (with other heaters, of course.))

We've never used this heater on HIGH. (I would think that without a separate thermostat it could cook you to medium-well overnight.)

On the LOW setting it averages a 30% cycle time set at 69 through the winter nights (as measured with a Kill-a-Watt). So, if it's on for 9 hours/night at 750W, it runs for 3 hours and costs about $0.75/night. (Our oil burner eats 0.6 gal/hour at $3.99/gal, or about $2.40/hour. Heating the whole house to heat the bedroom is obviously nuts.)

Oh --we also have a solar system that averages 10,000 kWh/year, so you get the picture!

The other Lux thermostat kicks the oil burner on in the morning --as this heater gets turned off simultaneously.

Be advised that this heater makes some "crinkly" noises when it heats, especially when new. You'll ignore it by Day 3.

I have a small (700 square foot) house with 12 ft ceilings. When we built it this summer we installed two "whisper quiet" 2500 Watt electric wall heaters, which were fine until it got cold and we actually needed to use them. The noises they made at random times during the night woke everyone up periodically throughout the night. We were going nuts.

I bought this DeLonghi heater thinking that it might at least keep the chill off long enough for us to figure out another 5,000 Watt solution to replace our original heaters. I can't really figure it out, but just ONE of these1500 Watt DeLonghi heaters is heating my entire house. It is COMPLETELY silent. I'm using less energy and the house is plenty warm, even when we've had freezing temperatures. I would buy another one I love it so much, but apparently I only need one! I'm thrilled.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi HMP1500 Mica Panel Heater

I've tried several types of electric space heaters radiant heater with resistive wire ribbon, oil-filled radiator, quartz, and now this. This is by far the best. The ribbon and quartz heaters glowed bright orange, lighting up the entire room. The Sunbeam/Holmes quartz tower heater made a rattling noise from the heating elements and also had a fan which was really loud and quite startling when half asleep. I nearly had a heart attack when it came on a couple of times when I was half asleep. It lasted less than 2 seasons due to an unbelievably primitive thermostat which stuttered and turned on/off every few seconds for as long as a few minutes before it stuck in either the on or off mode. The oil filled heater worked OK for a few years until the heat broke the perimeter weld and it began to leak oil on the floor.

This heater is absolutely fantastic so far. It's not absolutely silent like an oil-filled radiator. You can hear a very quiet hum which sounds like a transformer when the thermostat turns the heater on. You only hear it at night when everything is absolutely silent in the room, and it's barely audible. The hum is louder on the high setting, but still quiet. The unit heats up fully within a minute or two and heats up a room as fast as any other type of space heater. It emits no light. The heating element appears to be a heavy paper or fabric sheet which is suspended in the middle of the housing. There's no fan.

The upper knob is the off/low/high switch. The lower knob is the thermostat, which reads 1 through 6. I only use it on the low setting with the thermostat set at 2. It heats up a 250 sq. ft. room with a 10-foot ceiling like nothing when it's 40 degrees F outside.

It has a recess on the back side in the middle of the upper edge which serves as a handle. It's very light and can be moved very easily by lifting. It has 4 rollers for feet which not only makes it easy to roll around, but keeps it from tipping over if it's bumped, since it will roll out of the way instead of tipping over. It has a tip-over switch which turns it off if it's tilted too much, not that it ever gets hot enough to ignite anything. The tip-over switch makes a rattling noise like something is loose inside if you shake the heater it's not a broken part inside.

Unlike an oil-filled radiator heater, it only emits heat from one side which allows you to move it out of the way and use it without fear of heating whatever is behind it. The back side is so cool that it comes with a plastic bracket which allows you to hang the heater on a wall.

So far this heater is fantastic. I've used it for one season without any issues. I recently bought 2 more and to see if they will allow me to stop using propane central heat altogether. I placed two of them in the living room, plugged them both in and set them to full blast. 10 minutes later, they tripped the living room breaker, so I tried one on full blast for a couple of hours. It took 2 hours to go from 60 degrees to 62 degrees inside. It's obvious that one isn't powerful enough to heat most of the house, and going by the paltry increase in temperature, I'm now sure 2 of them wouldn't cut it either.

These work great in a closed bedroom to heat up the whole room. If using on in a large space like a living room, it'll only warm people who are close enough to feel the warmth coming off of it.

It was overall a good heater. It was slim, didn't take up too much space, didn't make much noise and cranked out a good amount of heat. I've had it for less than 2 years and it's already starting to die, meaning I see little sparks in the machine and it barely provides any heat (and can't even heat the bedroom anymore). I would recommend buying another heater that will get your money's worth because this was Not made to last more than 2 winters (in my experience).
