SUNBEAM Fan Heater, 1 Touch Electric Thermostat,alci Plug Reviews

Customer Ratings:

We bought one of these 2 years ago for our daughers room. It did amazingly well in her 10x10 room. My husband just broke our small ceramic heater which tbh, was a huge energy hog and never shut off. We turned our daughters on and put it between both rooms, and it got to temp for her room, plus our 14x15 room and shut off! I went out tonight and purchased a 2nd from walmart, which was much cheaper than amazon. This one, unlike the last version, has a optional wall mount. We will probably actually skip wall mounting it because of airflow.

They seem to work much better than the small picture on the box saying "small room" would lead you to believe. Fantastic little heaters. Pretty quiet too.

We have some older wiring in our house that just recently got upgraded to 3 prong outlets. We keep the heaters on the low setting to make sure we dont trip a breaker. But on a really cold night, if we turn it to high, we let it run and it seems to not mess with the breaker. So long as i don't try to vacuum too :-)

I've had mine for 3 years and love it! In that time, my husband has had 3 in his bathroom... the last one just stopped working (a Holmes Bathroom Heater). I told him NOT to go out & buy another & I'd try to order him my Sunbeam 1 Touch. So happy that Amazon carries it!!! I recommend that you buy the Sunbeam 1 Touch Heater if you want a great performing heater that will last and last! But I don't understand WHY it's over $50 at Amazon and Under $30 at Walmart. Went to Walmart's website & got it there instead.

I purchased this little guy from a store a year ago. I loved it then, and it's still going strong now! The thermostat feature is perfect, because I change my mind on the settings constantly, and would otherwise melt/freeze before snapping out of my work to turn it on/off. Especially at night when I'm sleeping.

My two cats love it, too! It's been safe and fairly quiet, while providing a wonderful amount of heat for my living and bed rooms. I am now shopping for a second one to heat up more spaces more quickly.

Purchased this at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Humidifier put out a decent amount of mist and was very quiet; much to my liking. I turn on the osculating function and the machine began to rotate back and forth, but began to make horrible grinding noises when it reach the ends of it motion as if it was trying to over rotate. I thought nothing of it and took it back to Bed, Bath & Beyond to exchange it for the same model. After unboxing the new machine, I plugged the humidifier into the wall and the wall socket and machine began to spark! I tried a different outlet and got the same experience.

I will be taking this humidifier back to the store and looking for something different; if two different models of the same humidifier can't work correctly for 5 minutes you should run!

This cool mist humidifier is great when it works. The first thing I found nice about it was the cool mist as opposed to the normal wet and heated humidifiers. One gallon lasts 2 days at a low to medium setting. A nice blue light can be turned on during the night. There is a convenient handle to carry the water tank part so you can fill it. This cool mist is much different from the warm, too humid common humidifiers that have to be filled at least once a day if not more. It serves about three rooms with the 120º oscillating top the way my home is set up and where I placed it. I really liked the way it oscillates this made it comfortable throughout the three rooms it was humidifying. The light never came back on again after one of the times it was refilled with water. Then It began to make a slight strange clicking sound when it oscillated all the way to the right. I'm not sure what "ultrasonic" is supposed to mean here, but if it has anything to do with it being very quiet this was true until the light went out. I was wondering if it was worth taking back for exchange. I filled out the one year warranty/ registered it with Homedics. But the stores were pretty busy with Christmas shoppers and we figured we could live without the light.

BUT, I woke up to find the table and floor soaking wet, even though water was still in the tank and it was working as normal. About a half a gallon of water was all over. We could not find where they water was leaking from or what may have caused it. So, I turned it off and emptied the bottom and upper blue container. That's when we noticed it seemed to be coming from the seam (if indeed that is a seam, as it goes from bottom to top in a straight line. I thought we had a defect however I've now read reviews on this particular cool mist humidifier by more people who have had the same problems or other problems. It IS a great humidifier, but I'm very disappointed that it broke in this manner and I am going to see if anything can be done. Unfortunately this was not purchased at Amazon or fulfilled by Amazon. It was on sale at Bed Bath and Beyond for $49.99; they did have to go to the stock room to get it because there was only one left on the showroom floor. I'm wondering if they gave us the floor model. It's great however I'm afraid to purchase another for fear this happens again, especially after reading reviews here.

Learned my lesson! We bought this humidifier used "like new." When we put it together and turned it on the light indicating the tank is low came on. We could never get it to run. When we recieved it you could tell it had clearly been used ...definitely not "like new"

Honest reviews on HoMedics UHE-OC1 Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I've used 2 humidifiers in my bedroom in the past, a Vicks & a Crane. The Vicks was noisy, like a fan. Crane was quiet.

This was my first HoMedics. The humidifier function worked well. One of the things that drew me to this one was the oscillation feature. Unfortunately, like some have mentioned, it does make an annoying noise. I can deal fine with the loud white noise that some make, or even a loud box fan going in a room, but anything else will keep me up all night. This was a big downfall. I wasn't a fan of the light either, I like a room dark when I sleep.

Overall, because of these 2 alone, I'm not a fan. If you don't mind the noise & light, it may work for you.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I wouldnt recommend this humidifier. I bought it to use in our bedroom but there are three problems--I found the light to be surprisingly bright in a dark bedroom, especially since I positioned the humidifier on the table that I face when trying to fall asleep.

Second was the sound. I'm used to normal humidifier sounds--even the louder coffee dripping type sound the large one in the living room makes--but this is more of an audible clicking sound when the oscillation was on.

Finally, if you live in a dry climate, expect to fill this every day or sometimes twice a day. It doesn't last long, even in a small room.

Its a good looking machine but, for the price, I wouldn't purchase it.

I use the Air King 8605 to raise the room temperature of my bedroom from 60 degrees to 70 degrees. It works great! There's no fan, so it's noiseless. The upper grate does get hot. I can put my hand on it, without getting burned, but I'd avoid putting it anywhere where small children might touch it. It does put out over 5000 BTUs of heat when turned all the way up, so be prepared for your electric meter to spin.

I have four of these. They are quiet and work well. In fact, they are silent. We use them to heat bedrooms when using the pellet stove in the main part of the home. The thermostat works well, but doesn't tell you the specific temperature, but once you find the correct setting you just leave it. Excellent heater. Nice looking. Quiet--in fact, silent.

Reviews of SPT SU-3751 Ultrasonic Pig-Shaped Humidifier

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $41.00
Sale Price: $29.00
Today's Bonus: 29% Off

We were very happy with the first SPT SU-3750 Ultrasonic Penguin-Shaped Humidifier humidifier we bought, so we a pig, and eventually, five more penguins. I liked the penguin better than the pig from the start, and I still do, even though my review for the penguins is now less favorable than it was at first. I haven't bothered to look for a replacement.

DO THEY WORK? Yes, the our only pig and four of the six penguins do. I can run the penguins faster than the pig, because mist starts leaking out around the pig's face and getting the shelf wet if I turn it up too much (or don't get the face seated right.) We usually run each penguin for about 18 hours, and the pig for 20-22, with each roughly 1 gallon tank-full. Mist starts coming out immediately when you turn it on.

MODEL: I don't like the pig as well as the penguin because the mist comes out the pig's snout, which is not at the very top. It's easy to not get the face seated correctly on the body, and then mist comes out all over, getting your shelf wet. Even it the face is seated properly, if you run it full steam, some mist comes out around the edges of the face. (Not to mention that mist comming out the snout is a little gross. Also, the red light by the knob makes the pink bottom part glow in a dark room, which I find slightly creepy.)

NOISE: Most of them are pretty quiet, altough they do generate some white noise, and you occasionally hear bubbles as the base "gulps" water from the tank.

CLEANING: I rarely do. I love that these stay pretty clean with basically no maintenance. We had a cool mist humidifier with a filter that quickly grew all kinds of orange stuff, and warm mist vaporizers that create black shale-like stuff in the tanks, so these penguins are better. I use regular tap water, and we do get a little white dust/mineral deposit film from these (which is much worse with one unit than with the other three), and after a couple months I've noticed stuff starting to grow, mainly in the parts where the mist comes up & out. It would be nice if the base didn't still have a bunch of water in it when you take off the tank, so you could easily let everything dry out every now and then or so to keep stuff from growing.

FILLING: You take off the face, lift off the tank (the clear part), flip it over and unscrew a cap on the bottom of the tank, and fill it in a sink or bathtub. It's nice that it fits in a regular bathroom sink. It would be nicer if you could bring a jug of water to the pig and fill it in place, without turning it upside down, or at least if it wouldn't drip when you carry the tank.

SUITABLE AROUND KIDS: Yes. The mist & units are cool, so little kids can't get burned. And they're cute. My 2 1/2 year old loves "raking the smoke", slicing a spatula through the mist. He does turn the ones on the counter on and off.

MAKE SURE: 1) It's high enough above the floor that the floor won't get wet. (A 42" counter is fine, lower may be ok too.) 2) the tank is seated properly: a couple bubbles rising will let you know that the tank is back on the base correctly. Otherwise, it will use up the water in the base, then stop making mist even though the tank is still full.

This is a really great humidifier if you're looking for something inexpensive, with no filters to replace. It's very simple, easy to use and really puts out a lot of steam (adjustable, of course). Since it goes through the water quickly, it doesn't build up pink gunk like other more expensive humidifiers weve tried. The only thing that's a little tricky is getting the water tank back on the base without splashing a few drops. But overall, it's a pig with steam coming out it's snout! What's not to love?

I've had this humidifier for 2 years now, and it's still going strong. After two years, the LED light indicator has definitely gone out, but the main function still works well. I've never had a problem with leaks. Other than the LED light, this humidifier works just as well as the day I bought it. Great value for a simple product.

Honest reviews on SPT SU-3751 Ultrasonic Pig-Shaped Humidifier

I ordered this pig last month, and I don't know how I ever lived without it! I run it mostly while I'm awake, as I have a fear of running appliances unattended, but lately I've caught a cold and have been running it at night as well. Not only does it work wonderfully (great control for mist output!), but many of my friends have expressed how jealous they are, as they own plain, boring humidifiers. So unless you're really boring, don't feel silly buying the pig!

Refilling is easy, and I've had no issues placing the tank back on the base (it was somewhat tricky the first day, but never again). Although it's not the recommendation, I've been using tap water, with no negative effects so far. Though, I do plan on switching to filtered soon, as I love my pig and want him to have a good life.

My husband and I both love this humidifier. It works great and it is sooo cute. I especially like how it can go for 2 full days on low to med with one full tank of water. With one full tank of water it will go for a couple of hours on high. I would recommend this one to all my family and friends.

I'm a resident of Washington State. We're notorious for two things: it rains a lot and people live in denial that it ever gets hot here. While not it may not reach the soaring highs of the mid-west that I left 18 years ago, it certainly heats up. And when you're acclimated to mid-60s for most of the year, the mid-80s and mid-90s of summer can feel as devastatingly uncomfortable as those 109 degree Kansas City summers. Even so, the houses in Washington state are built for precipitation, not warmth. They're well insulated against rain and snow, and terrible for ventilation and air-conditioning as a result.

In an effort to cool my obscenely-well-insulated house down on even the more temperate of warm spring and summer days, I've installed a solar attic fan and a whole-house fan. Both help a lot in the right situation (the solar attic fan helps keep the attic cool, which means lower overall temperatures, and the whole-house fan can bleed the heat from the house in a few minutes flat -once the ambient outside temperature has dropped low enough), but when you suffer from seasonal allergies, sometimes the right situation is two weeks away when the pollen count drops. Not much help!

Because of my casement-style windows, I've been relegated to using free-standing A/C systems to augment the attic fan and the house fan for the past few years. But free-standing A/C units are almost worthless. First, their power is insufficient. 12,000 BTUs aren't enough to control a large airspace like my vaulted, open-floorplan kitchen+dining+living room combo (a very, very common layout in Washington. This state loves its split-levels, and that's almost always what you encounter at the top of everyone's stairs here). Second, the dryer-hose they use to convey the heat outside (through a cracked window) inevitably heats up, warming the air around the A/C unit, defeating a large part of its purpose. Third, the heat from outside almost always creeps in, as casement windows are hard to seal well, especially when you have a big, heavy dryer hose hanging from the cheap plastic window shim. Lastly, even the models that claim to evaporate the extracted moisture from the air don't really, and you wind up emptying a water reservoir several times a month (if not several times a week on the warmer days). If your A/C unit is big enough, you must lean it out of a doorway and let it drain, allowing the warm air from the outside to easily defeat a portion of the cooling you just paid for in precious electricity. Crazy? Yes.

This season we decided to purchase a big, powerful air-conditioner that could be installed in-wall. We settled on this Frigidaire. I called up my electrician to install a dedicated 20A circuit with a 230v outlet to feed this beast and got his recommendation for a contractor to come cut a hole in my wall at the same time. We scheduled a date for a few weeks out. The A/C arrived within a week, and within 2 weeks we had 25,000 BTUs of real, honest-to-God air conditioning in the house. After the first day I left my lady at home and went to work, I asked her how she was doing. She said, "it got cold, so i had to turn the temperature up!" That's a good sign. Usually she doesn't say things like that until 4am when the old, freestanding A/C had been running *constantly* for 24 hours and had finally had a chance to catch up well after the sun had gone down.

This thing has several useful modes. Our favorite by far is combining the 'energy saver' and 'remote sensing' modes. Energy saver tells the unit to move some air every 10 minutes or so to see if more cooling is required (because the ambient has risen above the set point). If so, it engages the condenser and injects some powerfully cold air into the room for a few minutes, then goes back to sleep. Remote sensing is enabled from the remote control, which has its own thermistor and temperature display built in. At the touch of a button, it starts sending its temperature readings to the air conditioner at regular (~30m) intervals. The air conditioner defers to these readings and attempts to make the room cold enough to bring the temperature near the remote down to the desired one. The remote runs on a couple of AA batteries, so keeping it fed shouldn't be a problem with all the rechargeable batteries we have laying around. (The included batteries are still going strong several days later, though). It also has

On the more critical side of things, the unit is quite loud when cooling at full blast. This was initially bothersome, as the unit occupies a space in our living room wall, but once we realized that 'energy saver' causes it to run for just a few seconds every 10 minutes, it became far less of an issue for us.

In conclusion, I am in awe of just how powerful this thing is, and how well it cools. Standing close to its air vents when the condenser is on is a bit like sticking your head in the ice box... which is as it should be. The remote temperature sensing feature is awesome. I only wish the remote was RF instead of IR, but that can be overcome with an IR repeater or two. The real test will come in a few weeks, as summer rolls in and the "real" heat arrives. So far, I'm confident this unit (rated for a ~1600sqft. "room") will more than adequately keep the upstairs of our 1800sqft. house comfy, and all without me having to keep a window open perpetually or drain the tank every other day. Hallelujah! ;)

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

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).

I bought two of these heaters a year ago for emergencies and they have been sitting in their box ever since. But, when hurricane Sandy knocked out power, they more than paid for themselves. I got them for winter storms and never thought I'd be using them in cold weather after a hurricane. They worked exactly as advertised. These are not whole house heaters. They are great room heaters and make life much more comfortable in an emergency. They have several safety features but I also have a carbon monoxide detector that I keep in the room with them. It's probably like wearing suspenders and a belt but it makes me more comfortable to have a detector as an extra safety precaution. In my emergency supplies I also have a camp stove and lantern. These all take the same one pound propane bottles. I keep a case of the gas bottles on hand. This gives me heat, light, and hot coffee in the morning. I don't like it when the electric goes out but I try to get into the camping trip mentality and make the most out of an uncomfortable situation. These heaters helped me do that and stay comfortable.

If you fulltime in an RV, you know about cold days & nights. Maybe you want to warm the bedroom before showering, or maybe you want to warm your tootsies while watching DWTS. This "Portable Buddy" will do the trick for short bursts of heat.

I'm amazed to say the sides & bottom remained cool to the touch ("cool" as in room temp) after a full hour of use. Of note: it didn't heat a glass of cold water touching its side. Indeed, the LP can on the other side got cold enough to attract condensate! No gas smell during use.

It includes an oxygen sensor among its multiple failsafes -but take care when using it in an RV bedroom. If you put it on a dresser, it could melt your ceiling. Also, your bedroom will heat up VERY quickly, so please don't leave it unattended.

Disposable LP cans cost a lot, but right now I only plan to use it for spot applications. In the future, though, I'll look at a refillable 4lb tank to make it cheap to operate.

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater Portable Buddy Propane Heater

I have been using a portable heater for the Green House to keep things at 48 degrees when the temperatures go below that;however, the lowest heat raises the temperature to 66 at 40 degrees and the middle setting bring the temperature from 34 to 75 degrees. I needed something dependable and 4,000 BTU and 9,000 BTU might just heat my green house, 12 feet by 12 feet, and not caused any leaf yellowing or bloom drop.

It was the answer.

The Heater is well made, enamel and should not give me any rust problems. It is light in weight, about 2.5 lbs, and has a low oxygen alarm and will turn off if the stove turns over. I hook it up to a propane gas hose with a leak detector on the propane tank. Turning on the heater is a breeze. I move the dial from shut to pilot light, and push down the dial which gives a spark and the pilot lite goes on. I count to 30 and move the dial to the low setting. The ceramic plate turns to a faint pink glow and I wait a minute to make sure it does not go out. I get about 5 hours on a pound of propane. The temperature raises about 12.5 degrees and holds it there. If the outside temperature is 36 degrees, I will stay at 48 in the green house. If it gets to 34 or 35, I need to go to high, which raises the temperature about 15 degrees, to 49 degrees. The plants are happier. I bought a second such Heater in case we have a problem and the temperature goes into the 20 degree range. It has happened in the past but only rarely. I think two heaters can handle that, one on high and one on low. The prior heater used half a lb. of propane an hour so this heater is a money saver. I read that the heater does not get hot on the outside and it is true. This is a fantastic product.

I tried electric heaters in the past but the current drain was so great the fan would turn at a snails pace. I knew then that I had to use gas to get the heat I required.

As an after thought, you can tell how much propane you have in the 20 lb. tank. Take the propane tank, empty, in your hands and step on the scale and record the weight. Then weight yourself and subtract the difference and you have the weight of the tank.

Paint it on the tank, empty weight. It is hard to read the Total Weight on the tank as it is engraved on the tank and often difficult to see. When you get the tank filled, weight it as you stand on the scale, and after subtracting your weight, record the full weight of the tank with the gas and paint it on the tank. If you have no paint, buy a cheap nail polish and paint it on the tank. Where I live, the temperature has dropped around Midnight to 46 and gets to 42 around 4 a.m. and up to 48 by 10 a.m.. I just turn the heater on at Midnight and turn it off at 10 a.m. when the sun is heating the green house. I weight the tank and find I used two lbs. for 10 house. One tank should last me 10 days. With my other heater, I got 40 hours or 5 days, plants got too much heat and lost leaves and blooms.

This is my second Mr. Heater product, I also have the smaller version. This is a significant improvement in both heat capacity and being "Indoor-Safe". It has proven very effective and reliable, and it makes living aboard my boat in the winter (Chesapeake Bay) quite comfortable. Especially this winter, '09-'10.
