I realize this is a long review, but this is a relatively pricey unit, so I figured you would want all the hot poop! LOL I purchased this unit to replace an old thru the wall unit that died. Its time had come.

INSTALLATION: I had someone else install it into an existing sleeve in the wall. He had no problems with installation. May be different if you are making a NEW through the wall installation. Also, be aware that this Frigidaire unit requires a 220 electric line. I already had a 220 outlet in the wall from my old unit, but if you don't have such an outlet, you will have to employ an electrician to install one. How to tell if your outlet is 220? The prongs are not turned the same way as a regular outlet. Try to plug a lamp into it. If it won't fit, its probably a 220 outlet. BTW, the electric cord comes out of the LEFT side of the unit when you are facing it. My outlet is on the right side but the 6 foot cord easily reaches it. If you don't want a dangling cord, install your outlet on the left.

CAUTION: Be sure to let this unit (or any AC unit) sit right side up for 24 hours either before or after installation BEFORE turning it on, in case it was turned on its side or upside down in transit. Otherwise you could damage the unit.

REMOTE: The neutral ivory unit itself is attractive; my old one was black and brown, a real eyesore. The easy to use remote is a FULL FUNCTION remote, so you never have to touch the unit once it is plugged in, except to adjust the louvers. You can move the louvers from level to up towards the ceiling (but not down toward the floor) and from right to left and everywhere in between to direct the air flow. The unit has 4 fan speeds: low, medium, high and auto, all accessible via remote. The remote also has a built in thermometer so you can check the actual room temp. Appears to be relatively accurate, but I don't have another thermometer to check it.

COOLING: I've been using mine for about a month now. Its set at 70°, low fan speed, and auto cool, nonstop. Initially it took about 10-12 hours for the house to completely cool down, since even the walls were hot to the touch. Now it runs 24/7 and my 625 square foot first floor is always comfortable. That's saying something because we just had 10 days or so of temps in the high 90s. UGH! Two days ago the actual temp reached 103°. Factor in the humidity and it felt more like 109°. Here in Southeast Pennsylvania, humidity is a four letter word! This unit never missed a beat. The house was comfortable through it all. Keep in mind that I have two 6' x 30" south facing windows and a 6' x6' sliding glass door facing west and the sun beats in all day till sunset.

FAN: On Auto, the fan does cycle on and off frequently. I got used to it. Of course, the fan is noisy, (its a fan!) but not annoyingly so on low speed. Its in the dining room between the kitchen and living room and does not noticeably interfere with the TV in either room. And on Auto mode, the fan only runs when the unit is cooling. Since the fan doesn't run all the time, I do run a cheap pedestal fan in the corner of the living room for additional air flow, which is considerably quieter than the AC fan.

COST: I have not received an electric bill with a full month of use on it, but I don't expect a problem. The key is to run it 24/7 to maintain the temp and humidity so the house never heats up. Maintaining the temp is less work for the unit than cooling it down once it gets hot.

AWORD OF CAUTION. CHECK WITH YOUR POWER COMPANY'S WEBSITE. MANY POWER COMPANIES OFFER REBATES FOR THE PURCHASE OF ENERGY STAR ELECTRIC APPLIANCES LIKE THIS ONE. IF YOUR POWER COMPANY OFFERS SUCH A REBATE, BE SURE TO COPY THE SERIAL NUMBER THATS ON THE SIDE OF THIS UNIT ***BEFORE*** YOU INSTALL IT. AFTER IT IS INSTALLED YOU HAVE LOST THE SERIAL NUMBER BEHIND THE WALL AND WILL LOSE YOUR REBATE. Hmmm . . . Guess how I know that?

I am just about to order this product so please ignore the arbitrary 3 star rating!

I just wanted to help other people out who are trying to see if this product will fit an existing through the wall sleeve!

The specs listed are, "Product Dimensions: 20.5 x 24 x 14.5 inches ; 73 pounds."

You may be saying, "What Length x Height x Depth right?" or maybe Height x Length x Depth?

NO! You would be wrong! As per the Sears.com website for the same product Amazon has listed this as Depth x Width x Height!

Soooo just to be clear...

Width: 24

Height: 14.5

Depth: 20.5

I bought this A/C to replace a very old behemoth of a Frigidaire through-the-wall A/C from the mid 1970's. This is one of the only 220 volt A/C's I could find, by the way, which is the same voltage as my old A/C. I was worried that this new A/C would be too small for the old sleeve which is 26" wide by 16.5" high. I was wrong. This new A/C seems to have been designed for the old sleeve that I had. The first step is to remove the old A/C which is definitely a two-man job. You should be sure to put a plastic sheet on the floor in front of the A/C before you remove it. Also have a bucket and some sponges handy. This is because the bottom of the old A/C has a drip pan which is probably full of water. After removing the face-plate, you then pull the old A/C out as straight as possible, maybe wiggling it a bit to get it sliding. It is not screwed or bolted in. It just takes a lot of strength and pulling to get it out. The directions to the new A/C recommended replacing the old exterior grille with the new grille provided. I tried this, but the new grille was too small, so I put the old one back on. Other than size, I noticed very little difference between the new grille and the old one anyway. The new A/C includes lots of different types and sizes of foam insulation, padding and cushions for using around it. After measuring the inside of the sleeve and the new A/C, I decided to first line the outermost top and side edges of the sleeve with the 1.5" stick-on foam strips. I left the bottom edge uncovered because that is where the drain holes are. Then I placed the four dense foam "centering blocks" in each corner of the sleeve floor facing inward (these are the blue pieces that are cut in the shape of stairs). In order to prevent the new A/C from snagging and moving the centering blocks while being slid into the sleeve, I then cut two long and narrow pieces of cardboard and placed them on top of the centering blocks. The new A/C is much lighter than the old A/C, but it is still good for two people to lift it and carefully slide it into the sleeve across the top of the cardboard strips. After it is centered in the sleeve, you can then lift each side one at a time and gently remove the cardboard strips. Voila! A perfect fit with the A/C resting about 1" off of the bottom of the sleeve with approx. 1" of space around each side. You then cut strips of foam for each side, the top and bottom, and then push it in around the front of the A/C. The finishing moulding/edge piece included with the A/C provides a very nice look that hides the foam and the lip of the old sleeve. I did, however, cut and fit some trim moulding around it as well, mainly to hide the rough edge left by the moulding around the old A/C. I was very pleased with how this job went. I expected it to take at least twice as long as it did. Don't worry if you end up with a lot of left over foam and other materials that are included. After it was installed, the new A/C ran very well and cooled down the room very quickly. It is much quieter than the old A/C, but it still makes some noise, as I would expect from any A/C.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire FRA124HT2 12,000/11,700 BTU Through-the-Wall Room Air

I purchased this unit to replace a through-the-wall unit in my condo. The documentation was pretty good; importantly there were specific installation guides depending on the previous unit's brand. Unfortunately, my sleeve is an unusual size. But the unit came with a bunch of foam and fittings so I could make it fit. I especially appreciated the power checking utility that ensures that the right voltage is supplied before the unit can be turned on. Once installed, the unit works great. Quieter than the "library quiet" unit in our bedroom. And the 12,000 btus cool our place quickly and efficiently. A good buy from a reputable company.

It works. We had a week of hundred degree days. I set the unit to 76 degrees and it kept up to that temp. It slid into the existing sleeve easily and came with more foam and weather stripping than I needed. It is noisier than I was hoping for, but it's the fan / white noise that you can tune out after a while.

I love my Thermoflo Smart Heat Heater. Once it has gotten the room to a comfortable temperature it is very quiet. Even when it is just starting to heat up a cold room it is quieter than most other heaters with a fan. I live in a one bedroom apt. and when it is really cold I just point it more in the direction of the room that I am in at the time. It was only designed to do one room but I did just fine with one heater and 2+ rooms all winter. And yes it is nice even warmth, no cold spots.

I also like that it is small and lightweight enough to take with me wherever I go.

Seabreeze SOH7000TA works similar to Vornado heaters. Both of these are "no glow" fan based heaters which heats up the room by circulating the air. Both Seabreeze and Vornado heaters are high priced heaters compared to Holmes, Honeywell, Lasko brands etc. It is not made in China like other heaters. I believe this is made in Canada and Vornados are made in USA. So you pay higher price compared to other brands.

Pros: It raises the temperature of a room in just 30 to 45 minutes compared to the brand I mentioned above. It is ideal for use wherever zone-heating is required. It is whisper quiet. Instead of an Oscillating feature, it has a sweeping feature, which sweeps warm air across the room. The heating element does not glow so it is safe around kids and pets. Includes many safety features; and it automatically reduces heat output as the room's comfort level is reached; and finally, it does not dry up the air like ceramic heaters. Some compare this to ceramic heaters expecting a instant radiant/fire place type output.

Cons: Controls are not digital; does not have a three-prong plug but it has a polarized plug.

This heater was bought to replace an old Vornado, and we have been using it for just one day. However, it is doing such a terrific job, that I feel confident in writing this review even after so little time. We are using the ThermaFlo in our living room, and as a bonus it is also heating the adjacent dining room. I should mention that our house is a small rowhouse that was built in the 1840s, so we are talking about probably 300 square feet, but as an old house, it is very drafty, and the heater is keeping those rooms at a steady 71 degrees. (We did as suggested by the company, and lowered the thermostat on our central heating.) The ThermaFlo is extremely quiet, and the heat is absolutely even in all part of the rooms. We could not be happier with this purchase.

I live in Montana where the weather can get to -40 below in winter. I have used this type heater in my bedroom for the past five years and just bought an extra even though the old one is fine.

I have cut my heat bill by $100 a month with this heater as I can shut the rest of the house to 60 degrees at night and use this just in the bedroom -it is all it is promised to be.

While researching heaters, I kept reading about heaters where corners were being cut on what were formally standard safety features (i.e. a working tip over power cutoff switch).

You'll notice a common thread on most inexpensive heaters that on one or two start reviews you see mention of episodes like: "It started smoking / throwing sparks / nearly burned my house down good thing I was there". This was a small percentage of most cheap heaters (like the one and two star reviews) but even if it's happening say 7% of the time, that's something to be concerned about.

Hence my quest:

I decided I wanted something quality and safe. Not the cheapest. Did a lot of research, ordered this. Have had it for almost two weeks. I have this in a small bedroom 9 X 12 feet. When the heater initially starts, you don't have this focused blast. But within 3 minutes on a moderately chill mid-October evening the entire room is * evenly * filled with heat. The fan is there but it does not have a harsh timbre (is not obnoxious to the ears). I actually find the fan "noise" a bit comforting. It's certainly quieter than my Lasko ceramic heater. Admittedly the Lasko cost me more like 40 dollars about 7 years ago and it's fine for what it is.

The controls on the seabreeze are simplicity itself: A red orange LED lit on/off rocker "button" switch. The LED is not overly bright which is good. The thermostat is just a rotary dial type affair. The good news: The thermostat is accurate. Also, since this heater is designed for a sort of semi-variable output (I believe it toggles one or both of the heating elements on or off as needed) it doesn't seem to have that constant on-off thing like my other heater has. It's more laid back / transitional. The other part of what's causing that felt effect is this heater has motorized louvers (slats) that cycle back and forth.

Quality of heat: Very even. The room doesn't feel brutally dried out. This heater has a good "throw" i.e. after about 2 minutes if I stand 8 feet away from it that whole area feels evenly heated.

I'm giving this five stars at this time.

P.S. If you order from Ace hardware thru Amazon in hopes of getting the candy red top colored version it comes in black just the same.

_____________________________________

UPDATE 12/24/2012:

It's over 2 months later and we still love the heater. It only turns on the part (i.e. 1/2) of the unit that needs to be on. Turns on both halves if it has to do a lot of catching up to the set temperature. Relatively quiet. The settings are as straightforward and simple as can be.

UPDATE 1/13/2013: Still like it.

Purchased January 5th, died January 28th. The touch panel illuminates and shows the correct temps, but neither the heat nor the fan turns on. No funny burning smell either. We use it in our 2 yr old's bedroom at night, so about 12 hrs each night for 3 weeks to keep the temp at 73. It hasn't been very cold here, around 60-65 in his small 9'x9' room without the heat on at night. Also, the unit is made in China.

I called Vornado and they're doing the repair for free, shipping included. Hopefully the repaired or replacement heater will be more reliable.

update: After 2 months or so of using the replacement unit, everything is working properly. I would rate customer service 5 stars since they are very friendly, helpful, and in the US.

update 2: the replacement one is broken now less than 1 year later. Heat fires up fine, but no fan. Off to get another replacement from Vornado. Again, customer service is VERY GOOD, 5 stars again. If only their flagship heater could last more than one "winter" here in California, which isn't that cold at all.

This heater is extremely accurate in maintaing the set temp. I have tested it several times against a digital thermometer with memory. With each test, the heater has maintained the set temp. to within .5 degrees, plus or minus of the set temp. These tests have been conducted on 8 hr. time frames.

The remote is very easy to use & is an impt. upgrade, because it allows you to place the sensing device @ any location in the room away from the heater. This gives a much more accurate temp. throughout the room.

The air circulation ability of the vornado heaters is pretty amazing. it really circulates the air throughout the room as advertised. It works slow but effectively.

The heater has been used for probably 48 hrs. of run time. Hopefully, it is durable enough to maintain its current performance over many yrs.

I have two of the vornado VH2 heaters which both failed during the 1st winter of moderate use. I purchased the EH1 heater only after learning that Vornado will pay shipping to return the two VH2 heaters to the factory for free warranty repair & will ship back to me @ no cost. The EH1 also has the free return policy but has a 2 yr. instead of the 1 yr. warranty found on the VH2. Warranty info. that came with the VH2 & EH1 all state that the customer has to pay to ship the product back to the factory and then include $20 for them to ship it back to you. this is basically a worthless warranty and in my call to Vornado, they said that they now pay shipping both ways on all of their heaters.

Best Deals for Vornado TVH600 Whole Room Vortex Heater, Automatic Climate Control

This heater promises a lot, and is certainly on the pricey side for an electric heater. The remote is non-intuitive, and seems to require several button presses to get the heater to respond. The remote's display shows you the current temperature, but not the temperature that you've set the thermostat to -you have to look on the heater itself to see that. It's also easy to change the heat setting (low, high, fan-only) without realizing it, unless you're looking at the heater's display while you're using the remote. All that said, the heater is quiet, and does a good job of heating the room. The auto-off after a set number of hours is a nice feature.

But here was the real problem for me -the heater failed after one week of use. We stepped out of the room for a few minutes, at a time when the heater was not heating, but was still turned on, and came back to a slight electrical odor in the air. The heater was now off, and pressing the "on" button did nothing. I verified that it was the unit and not a circuit breaker in my house. Fortunately, I can return this item to where I bought it within 30 days for any reason. While I have the option of getting a replacement, I don't think it's worth the risk. The manufacturer has a 2-year warranty, but warranty service requires mailing the unit cross-country at my expense, PLUS a $20 shipping and handling fee to get the unit returned to me. I don't want to get another and have it fail 31 days after I get it, so this one is going back. Too bad, because I really like the concept! But poor implementation and apparently poor reliability (sample of one) kills it for me. Not recommended.

Honest reviews on Vornado TVH600 Whole Room Vortex Heater, Automatic Climate Control

Received my order and plugged it in and it heated the room I had it in within a couple minutes. Works as good as advertised if not better with even heat distribution. Now use it to heat our entire downstairs (living room, kitchen, and dining room) during the day, and the furnace very rarely kicks on. When it does it's for less than half the time it would without the Vornado. The real test will be when we receive our first electric bill with this little powerhouse.

We have had our TVH600 replaced 3 times. The first one lasted about 10 months before the automatic turn-off began to just shut the unit off all the time and eventually it stopped working all together. The second unit, we had for about a week and never worked properly! It tripped off constantly and smelled like it was burning, plus the cord would get really really HOT. The third unit worked for 1 day before the thermostat was reading 68 degrees and it was set to 72 degrees and blowing cold air. The company has been absolutely wonderful about replacing the units, but this particular model is garbage, plain and simple. Vornado is going to send me another model, this time, so hopefully this one works.

Review of Proctor-Silex 34101 Fifth Burner

Customer Ratings:

We got this to replace a burner bought off the shelf. It died within the first week. I have been much happier with the results for this burner as a replacement for our dead stove. In fact, it heats up faster that our stove used to. Produces good heat quickly and has worked well in almost all situations.

The only issue I have is with what seems to be an overtemp safety because it will cycle itself on and off. A pot will get hot quickly but it also seems to senses that the pot is still there and hot, and decides to take a rest or turner off the burner for 15-30 sec while things in your pot stop boiling. It seems to come back quickly to reheat again, but cooking with an even hear is lost as the burner cycles on/off.

Cons:

-As was mentioned from the other reviews, this burner annoyingly cycles off and on. I have to unplug and re-plug to turn it on again. You cannot disable it. For me, this is the biggest deal breaker for this product.

-There is nothing in the manual to show the features and specs except safety precautions.

-You cannot use a large pan on it.

-Nothing to stabilize the pan but the actual heating coil.

-You have to use heavy pans with good heat conductor at the bottom (like the copper bottoms pans). If you use the aluminum teflon type, it will not sufficiently heat to fry anything.

Pros:

-Like the portability, size and weight.

-Very affordable.

Best Deals for Proctor-Silex 34101 Fifth Burner

I saw this on HGTV in some trendy house renovation shows. And, I did not know what it was but it looked really cool. And, when I saw it on later, I realized that this is an ancient kind of product we all are familiar with.

My excuse to buy this was that my house is under the hammer and we decided to chuck away the old gas stove. And, that means we can only eat frozen meals heated up in the microwave or this coil burner.*w*

Unlike some other reviewers expressed, I have only used this for boiling pastas, or stir-fried dishes. And, it was just amazing that how this $15 burner can cook as well and fast as my GE electric stove in my other condo. I have cooked some Chicken Soup for 4 hours one day, which turned out great as well, so I don't agree with other people's discontent myself.

I just wish I could put 4 of these coil burners when the house is complete instead of purchasing a couple of thousand halogen cook top. At least, a young couple on HGTV did it in their compact loft condo this way. with the coil covers, very clever! I think it looks good enough to keep it on the counter top.

The only flaw is that the spill plate under the heat coil leaves the burn marks from cooking if you don't wipe them immediately. But, then again, I could buy another without thinking! A very good value.

Now that I am back in the US form India travel I sometimes use it when other stove elements at home are in use.. so the burner helps things move along faster and the best part is that it works so wonderfully and just like a stove element... Its a must have tool... especially for single folks :-) .. or if you move around a lot on travels away from home..

I researched extensively portable AC/heaters prior to buying this one. It has GREAT features & controls. The AC performs fantastically without worrying about water leakage, as you do with most portable AC units (in addition to reading many reviews from other owners, I know from experience). Dual hoses are the BEST for outstanding AC performance, not needed at all for heating (so, you just disconnect). I was gravely disappointed in the heater when it got cool enough to need one. When I called customer service, I discovered that the heat is provided by a small "heat strip" rather than a "heat pump" as displayed on the mfr's webpage. As I told customer service, "I can exhale warmer air than this unit puts out." Customer service is "wishy-washy" at best (dealing with Carlos); however, the supervisor/manager offered to exchange for a different model or refund my money. I am currently reviewing my options.

Two stars represent the poor heater performance when ads displayed 12K BTUs for both AC/heat not true. The stars also include the poor handling of my product claim by Carlos.

If you're looking for a great AC unit, I would highly recommend this unit. But don't count on the heater to perform at all. Other Midea models that have better heaters only use one exhaust hose. All one-hose models, regardless of brand, are not efficient & cause a "vacuum effect" rather than circulating air; thus, I would NOT recommend. Don't take my word for it, research the comparisons of 2-hose vs 1-hose models for yourself.

My first review: This is priced at $200 at Walmart. Why so much here? You want a hundred dollar tip? The ship there is a whopping 97 cents.

Update:

I bought this from Wal-Mart and am happy I did. It is small, so look at the dimensions carefully. But, I do enjoy sitting on the couch and having the flames twinkling out of the corner of my eye, or even staring at the thing is nice to do. It is fairly well made, and it does put out some heat. Not enough heat to take the place of a house heater, but on a really cold day it is nice to have it on. I have turned on the fireplace many times without the heat since I live in the south, and enjoy being able to do that. It really "warms up" the feel of the room. Another good thing is I have cats and am terrified of space heaters that they might get their little furry tails into, and this one seems safe to me from that perspective.

This is a very nice stove. The stove is very heavy, with solid construction. The pewter finish is a beautiful dark grey and the accents are very nice. The stove warms a room quickly and the flame is fairly realistic in a darkened room. Dimplex units have patented flame technology that uses a reflection of the logs to make it look like the fire is between two logs. There are glowing embers at the base. The logs themselves do not glow as they do in more expensive dimplex units. On the back of the unit, there is an adjustable thermostat knob, a heat on/off switch, and a fireplace on/off/remote toggle switch. This is quite a solid piece, much more so than the units I have seen in home stores and the flame effect is much more pleasing to the eye.

This is actually a large unit as electric stoves go which is one of the reasons I chose this model. There are multiple dimplex models that look similar and can be found on the dimplex website. I think the amazon price of $220 is very good as the MSRP is $499 and it is listed for $440 on the Lowes website. I could not find this model stove for sale on Walmart's website (as reported by another reviewer) at the time of this review.

This is our third electric fireplace/stove and our second Dimplex. If you are in the market for an electric fireplace because you want to add a cozy fireplace to a room without the expense of installing a real fireplace, I highly recommend dimplex. While you can usually find flame effect videos online, it is worth looking at the flames in the store to see the difference between the dimplex effect and others. If you are buying this for heat and simply the design of the unit then there are many options available, but the flame effect on a dimplex unit is much more realistic in my opinion.

We should have within 5-7 working days. Have not received yet so I called. Now they are saying they do not stock the parts and therefore I have to send back to the retailer to get a new unit. They were going to call me to let me know, but have not had the time. They are too busy with other phone calls. Makes me wonder about the product....

While you can hear the timer if you make a deliberate attempt to hear it, the timer is very quiet and is no louder than a quartz wall clock.

The timing feature is highly accurate.

This timer is the perfect replacement for the old bathroom vent fan wall switch. Before showering you just give it a twist and the fan runs till it times out. The new standard time for bathroom vent fans is recommended at a minimum of 20 minutes after the shower water is turned off to help prevent mold and mildew buildup on the bathroom walls from excess moisture in the air. This timer works great for that. If you need to run the fan for other stinky business you give it a small twist. It is working out very well for us. It was easy to install (just like changing a light switch, but make sure to follow the directions that are included.)

Honest reviews on Intermatic FD2HW 2-Hour Spring Loaded Wall Timer, White

I built a timer control for my Rigid rechargeable battery charger. I destroyed two batteries by leaving them in the charger for a week. Charger is not suppose to do that but after that incident the batteries would loose charge over night and eventually died. Warrantied the lifetime batteries. So I used a 4 square electric box, a cover plate with a duplex receptacle and rectangular opening for the Intermatic FD2H, and a 6 foot 14-3 gauge cord with grounded plug. Through all this in the blender and out came my timer controlled portable ac outlets. Other than the timer all parts were scrounged from my garage. The Intermatic FD2H timer has been around for years so it should last for a long time. In the future will make a similar device using the cheaper Chinese made Woods 59013 Decora Style 8-4-2-1 Hour Electronic Timer.

Timer stops counting down while switch is on, making this an infinity-hour timer rather than a 2-hour timer. If your intention is to use it to, for example, turn off the coffee pot automatically so that it doesn't burn down the house, look elsewhere: either for a more reliable timer, or a replacement house. The problem is a mechanical one: the mechanism used to tick off the seconds simply stops due to insufficient spring tension, or excessive friction on the moving clockwork parts. I attempted to solve the problem by introducing a drop of watch oil in various locations... no luck.

I will not buy another similar product from this company.

Reviews of Dimplex BLF50 50-Inch Synergy Linear Wall Mount Electric Fireplace

Customer Ratings:

We absolutely love this fireplace. It is very modern, yet traditional. We have a smaller family room and did not want to be blasted out of the room by a gas fireplace.

This is just perfect. It throws just enough heat to warm things up. I love that I can run it flame only, also. It was very easy to flush mount in our existing wall. We did hire a friend to help with the installation, especially the electrical wiring.

We saw this fireplace at a neighbor's house while looking for an electric fireplace for our home. We liked the look and the fact the blower for the heater directed the heat horizontally versus vertically. For an electric fireplace the flames are about as realistic as you can get; not quite as natural as a gas flame but close enough. We like it and it adds a nice touch to our family room.

I saw this fireplace in a house for sale featured on the New York Times and had to have it, and now I do.

I bought it with a best offer on eBay for $900 shipped. My boyfriend thought that was *rhymes with started.*

It is gorgeous. It doesn't stick out of the wall too far (while an in-wall mounting would be preferable I settled for on the wall). I love looking at it.

As for functionality, I appreciate that in the summer, I will be able to run this fireplace for show, but without heat. As for the heater part... My apartment building is old, and poorly maintained, and therefore not energy efficient, which is why I needed some sort of space heater, and opted for this one. That said, I'm grateful it hasn't been too cold in Boston yet... When it does get colder (like tomorrow), I'm worried that this thing just isn't going to cut it. My room is 12'x18' with a 13' ceiling. The loft bed in my room does benefit from the heat being 8' up, but the lower level doesn't quite benefit enough. I see no reason to run it on low heat always high.

I don't understand why you either have to switch to remote or manual, but can't do both... But I really like having a remote.

Conclusion: good for show, less so for heat (very glad I didn't pay full price which, while searching for this one at a more affordable price, seems to average $1,400 new).

Honest reviews on Dimplex BLF50 50-Inch Synergy Linear Wall Mount Electric Fireplace

This product is fantastic. It's everything it says and more. The flames are so real! It will also take the chill off of our big family room. It runs quietly too. I am so happy I found this product on Amazon. I've looked for months after having our huge corner brick fireplace removed. I am so pleased with Dimplex. Please, don't be afraid to buy this product. You will not be disappointed.

I hired a professional contractor to install it. It only took about an hour.

The electric fireplace was here before the scheduled date.

I love my Dimplex!

I wasn't sure on these fireplaces and it was a lot of money for an electric FP. I have to say we are more then happy with our purchase. They are beautiful and better then expected. Everyone comments on them and how cool they are. We were going to do propane but for a fraction of the price found these and thought we would try them. It was so easy to install and we love the look so much we ordered two. We bought one for our living room and one for our bedroom. We are so happy with this choice.

Best Heater - Heat Sweep (Black/Grey) (10.5" x 6.25" x 8.75") Deals

Customer Ratings:

I have the Seabreeze Heat Sweep Patented Pulse Action Heater / Fan, Model S0H300B, 1500 Watts 5120 BTU's. Features: Oscillating heater that sweeps a curtain of warm air evenly to raise the whole room comfort level. The energy saving thermostat maintains room temp above the freezing point (Anti-Freeze Position). It has 3 settings: 500 watts, 1000 watts, 1500 watts. It has an indicator light that glows when the unit is on. A mechanical Tip Switch. A Bi-Metal Cut Off Device. One Shot Heat Fuse; a back-up safety device in case of bi-metal cut off device failure. I got this heater for under $20.00 brand new (yes, lucky me, and I mean that!). This heater is WONDERFUL! My office is often chilly, I don't like working there when it gets cold but not anymore. I put the heater on and let it warm up the space, then turn the dial at the half way point (it cuts on and off) and keeps the office nice and toasty. I've used it in the bedroom and it does a great job; quiet, reliable and lives up to the hype on the box. A family member dropped it the other day and it fell off the table (my foot snagged the cord) and one of the blades that circulates the heat came off and I was not happy about it. I looked around and priced this unit and I was shocked at the prices; $120.00 $56.00! I pulled out the piece that came off (small pliers through the front) and the heater performed the exact same way it always did. Now it has 3 blades instead of 4. If you feel this heater doesn't stay on long enough at the halfway point, turn the knob a bit higher that should do it. I really like this heater and will buy another one, when I need it. But I don't think I will be doing that anytime soon. Great heater, highly recommended.

Best Sengoku CTN-110 KeroHeat Radiant 10,600-BTU Portable Kerosene Heater Deals

Customer Ratings:

I have two kerosene heaters, a Robeson (K-Mart) which is 25+ years old, and a Kerosun which is about 10 years old. Both work perfectly, year after year, with minimal starting and no operating odor, even with old kerosene. (I do add kerosene treatment which seems to stabilize the kerosene and claims to reduce the odor.) However, the Robeson does not have a cartridge tank, and I got tired of lugging it outside to refill. The Kerosun spoiled me.

The CT-1100 arrived promptly, and seems to be intermediate in quality between the Robeson and Kerosun. As expected it was smelly for the first few hours, but no significant smoke starting or stopping. After doing a dry wick burn, there is still a slight but annoying odor when operating. If I did not have the other two, I would probably consider it normal. After setting the wick, I regularly get 18+ hour burn times, which compares with the Kerosun which has the same size tank. I plan to work with it for the rest of the season, and if the odor continues, will replace the wick when warmer weather arrives. It definitely seems flimsier than those in the other two heaters.

So far no real problems with good heat output and much greater convenience and safety. It compares well with the Kerosun in design, though the sheet metal is clearly of a lighter but completely acceptable gauge.

bought two of these heaters both are the same one branded mega heat and

the other heat mate, both work as they should except the both give off

odor while burning, i have two other convection style heaters that have

no smell while running, but these two radiant models do give off odor.

i have dry burned the wick, unit has been adjusted just as manual says

red from top to bottom with blue flame on top , but smell is still there.

any ideas to get rid of smell would be welcome, get about 11 to 12 hours

burn time from full tank, if i could get rid of odor the would be great

buy, stick with convection type kerosene heaters they seem to burn cleaner.

add on one year later, i changed the wick that came with heater to better

quality wick from miles stair wick shop , odor is no longer a problem i

was told cheap wicks are thinner and allow smell, better wicks are thicker and fill channel tighter so no smell comes through,with this new

wick heater works perfectly with no odor, check out miles stair wick shop

This KeroHeat Ct-1100 Must be seasoned before normal use (all kerosene heaters do). Like a cast iron pan if you skip this it will smell and smoke. . I did what the site said, and I have been quite pleased with my results. What you do is, start with a quarter tank of Kerosene, burn the heater on high for about a half hour, until the top plate is red hot. Back to low for a hour. Finally back to high for a hour and let run out of fuel. I use CLEAR kerosene and the deodorant additive as well. Don't get too fixed on a certain sent, this unit is too efficiant and you will not have the sent filling the air in your home. I also recommend the KeroHeat HMN-110 radiant and KeroHeat CV-2230 convection. **Dont forget to run the Humidifire in your home**

Honest reviews on Sengoku CTN-110 KeroHeat Radiant 10,600-BTU Portable Kerosene Heater

Bought for a back-up because we are total electric. Tried it out in the garage and it works well although it does give off a little odor but nothing bad.

I've had the Kero-Heat for over 1 1/2 years and used both clear and red-dyed kerosene as a fuel source. Due to the rising cost of both, the red-dyed version clearly is the most economical but has a tendency to leave a residue in the wick and will reduce its lifespan.

However, this in infinitely preferable to an attempt by me to use a quartz tubed heater as an alternative heat source. When I received my electric bill and saw that it tripled ($70 to $230), I unplugged it immediately.

The bottom line is that you must use wicks that have a high cotton content (i.e., England) and not the OEM ones that come from Asia that look virtually identical. I tried both and the English ones not only burn better without an odor but are significantly hotter as well.

I also used a catalytic disk above the burner to further reduce any odor.

Both are available through Miles Stair's Wick Shop online.
