The imagery is real good and makes for a good fireplace insert. The problem comes from is when it's time to change the light bulbs. It requires some dis-assembly which should be no big deal but it is. After you dissemble the parts to get to the bulbs, it is still tight to get your hands in to unscrew the bottom bulbs. One was so tight

It blew up in my hands. leaving the screw part in the socket. Could not get it out. Tried to disassemble the box further to get at it better to no avail. Frustrated I bought a new one, to replace it. There was no guarantee, if I was able to get to it better that I would be able to get it out without breaking the plastic socket. I found it on sale on Amazon. So I bought the replacement. I have all the parts of the old one, I have another unused fireplace downstairs, when I get my basement ready I will reassemble it for looks...

Replaced an old wood burning fireplace in a 12x15 living room with this. I'm not one for tacky or gaudy; this is neither. Unbelievably realistic, attractive, and great source of heat. Couldn't be used to heat the house, but def takes the chill out of the room. Would recommend to anyone!

Our gas bill for heating our trailer was $300 a month, here in Wisconsin for the last 3 months. We bought TWO of these (only two!) and turned our gas furnace's thermostat down to 50 and then put one of them in the back and one in the front of the place. I don't know why people are saying the heating area is small? Maybe the fan isn't blowing much, but the two little heaters we got have actually kept our WHOLE place around 70 degrees.

Okay so yeah, I guess there was a smell when we first turned them on, but that quickly went away.

For as little as they cost I'd have to say they are definitely worth the buy. The cost in electricity is STILL far less than what we were paying for our gas bill.

I recently discovered the source of the smell. The plastic nearest to the ceramic element is melting. This is not quality work and now is a potential source of a fire. I am currently holding on to it waiting for a recall.

I have pics if anyone would like to see the melted plastic on the heater.

I returned the HCH4051 I got to go under my desk. It was a handy size, and I could probably have dealt with the rather high noise level, but I couldn't handle the smell! Even after running it full-bore for HOURS outside, it still gave off a nasty chemical odor. It smelled like pesticide, like 2,4-D or something. That was unacceptable.

Honest reviews on Holmes HCH4051-UM Compact Ceramic Heater with Manual Thermostat

I have to say that I was very disappointed in this. Unless you are less than a foot from the heater you aren't going to feel any of the heat that it produces.

This could never be a main heat source or be used to heat a room. This is more like extra heat in an already heated room. I find that in my office, even if the room itself is heated, my feet will get cold under my desk so this would be perfect for that purpose.

It's small and you could fit this anywhere like on a crowded desk or dresser which is really convenient. I keep a small fan on my desk at work at all times and I can do the same with this if not for the fact that it's so loud. It is very loud especially considering the small size.

To be fair, I've noticed that if I shut my bedroom door while this heater is on, I wake up to a warm room even if I went to bed cold. So it basically takes 8 hours to heat a 15x15 room but only if the door is shut to trap the heat.

If you are looking for a very small heater to heat a whole room, I would recommend a 10 inch Vornado heater. I didn't realize how good it was until I tried other heaters. The Vornados are amazing, amazing heaters. They are quiet and the outside of the unit is well made. The problem with them is that the heating element is extremely fragile and the 2 I bought both died after just about 3 months of use.

My search for the perfect heater is still going. With the Holmes heater, it is really well made, a convenient size, but it doesn't heat well. The Vornado heats well but the heating element is very cheap and unreliable.

At the end of the day, I regret purchasing the Holmes and am unhappy with it so I can't recommend it. I would highly recommend the Vornado if not for the defective heating element that dies way too quickly.

I've had this heater for just over 3 years, and it works pretty good and heats my 10x12 room up quick, but the knobs are made from cheap plastic. One of the knobs broke after about 2 years, and I've contacted Holmes about 4 times now and no one there seem to know what the heck I'm talking about and they just keep referring me to different numbers. My heater is the exact same style as this, but it says 'Titan' instead. But the warranty card states that it's manufactured by Holmes. This frustrates me to no end, to have a heater w/ a 3 year warranty, but have the manufacturer say that they don't have the model in their system and that they can't do anything. They don't even seem willing to help in figuring the problem out. Don't you love mega-corporations. The thermostat is touchy too, and is hard to set for a particular temperature.

I use this in my bedroom. It gets really hot, especially in the summer, and I also have a lot of electronic equipment(av receiver, Xbox 360, PS3, LCD tv, some halogen lamps, etc.) and to top that all off I am really hot natured. So I needed something to keep the room cool. This thing does it effortlessly. The temp. in my room used to climb up to 75ºF, now with the SoleusAir it stays at around 66-68ºF, just how I like it. On a side note, my central A/C went out last summer and it got up to 83ºF in my house, but the SoleusAir kept it at a cool 68ºF in my room. So you can count on it even under the most demanding loads. It also has a built-in heater as well and it heats as well as it cools. So this is really an all-in-one unit. The only downside(along with any other portable a/c unit) is that you must run 2 hoses(one exhaust, one intake) to a window. It comes with a window installation kit, but I live near a busy street so I can sometimes hear outside noise... but it's not too bad.

But I would highly recommend this product.

This is my second one I have owned. I love it. I have it in our bed room. It let's me keep my bed room comfortable and I don't have to keep the rest of the house that cool or hot. One bad thing I had to remove the louvers out of the front. They didn't open far enough for the air to get out. I noticed this in other reviews, I will buy another if this one fails.

I purchased this in May 2010 and it worked fine until June 2011, when I noticed the carpet was drenched for about 5 ft all around it. The evaporative part wasn't working so the small internal tray had been overflowing. We took the unit appart cleaned it and made sure the float was not hung up reassembled it and put it in a washer pan, the evaporative part still wasn't working. I haven't taken it completely apart to attempt fixing it a 2nd time, we just pump out the water out of the washer pan every day or two. I would say in 80-100+ weather this unit has a hardtime getting the temp down to 74 and being able to maintain it especially with any electronic running in the room, a 10,000 BTU window unit would blow this a way 3x over. The heater also just works ok, this unit keeps my loft room from broiling me in the summer or freezing me in the winter, but I wouldn't exactly say it keeps me comfortable. Oh and it is loud in comparison to even the huge 8 year old window unit that cools the whole downstairs of the house.

I purchased this item on Nov. 2, 2011, (received it on Nov. 9, 2011), replacing an existing heater that had gone out. It was easy to hook up to the existing line that was already installed in the room from the old heater. I have NO complaints about the heater, I love it, it does everything it say and then some. It has a glass plate along with a screen in the front of it, which at first when I read that it's a 'cool touch' heater, I was very sceptically about that, but honestly it is very cool to the touch, even in the front! The only place the heat comes out is at the top and us having dogs in the house, makes this very comforting to me, as our old one was a 'brick' burner heater and it did leave the front open to being able to get to the flame and the bricks and possibly getting burnt or worse. In an approximate 15x15 area room, we can comfortable set it around 1-2 on the dial and stay very toasty with it. It's a dual gas heater, meaning you have have either natural gas or propane to hook it to, we have the propane, which there was nothing to do but hook it to the right line hole, (which are very clearly marked) and didn't have to worry about setting any other settings with it, it also has an electronic push button ignition, which does not even take batteries to work it and comes with a bunch of safety features as well. I plan on getting a larger one to replace the old brick burner we now have in our living room, but first I would like to let you know about the seller we purchased it from through Amazon, Northern Tools & Equipment, it states both here on Amazon and Northern's website that it comes with a blower,(but can't be used with this model), IT DOES NOT! I have went through countless emails back and forth about this between Amazon and Northern Tools, they, (Northern Tools & Equipment) just keep telling me that they will refund the money if I send it back to them and AFTER it passes THEIR inspection, which anyone will tell you that it won't after being hooked up! So, when I order my next ProCom heater I WILL NOT order it through Northern Tools & Equipment! I will make doubly sure that it comes from another seller and not Northern Tools! They will not stand by what they sell as far as what is suppose to come with it. I have no problems with Amazon, I have purchased many, many items over many years through them and will continue to make purchases through Amazon, they are a great company to buy from, they strongly stand behind what they sell and they have done everything in their power to correct this problem, but Northern Tools & Equipment refuses to co-operate, except as I stated earlier to return the product and refund my money after it passes inspection. So, if you want a very good heater that is easy to hook up and does what it says it will do, then I highly suggest the ProCom heater and it does come with a one year warranty included.

I purchased this unit to replace a ProCom 10,000 btu unit I had gotten in Quartzsite, Arizona 7 years ago. That unit worked fine until last winter when it wouldn't stay lit. I thought this was the same unit until I received it & it said on the box "not for use in an rv" It also said that it would not work above 4,500 ft. None of this was mentioned on the web site. I returned it having to pay postage both ways.

Best Deals for PROCOM Blue Flame Wall Heater - 10,000 BTU Output, 300 Sq. Ft

I purchased mine on sale at Northern Tool while visiting my in-laws during Christmas of 2009. I grew up in the family plumbing business so was able to install the gas line myself, but those without experience will need professional installation. If you are replacing an existing appliance it is a non-issue. Otherwise, gas pipe and installation will cost more than the unit itself.

We live in Appalachia where power can go out for days and intended it to provide backup heat for one room. Once installed, however, the warm glow of the blue flame was irresistible and it has been on every winter since. We set its thermostat slightly lower than that of our inefficient central heat which now kicks on just often enough to disperse the heat and provide ventilation. This appliance has paid for itself in savings on our gas bill! It is supposed to only heat 300 Sq. Ft., but 700 Sq. Ft. is comfortable with a sweater when power is out and outside temperatures are below freezing.

We used to run our generator constantly when power was out just for the furnace fan, but since we bought this we can rely on a $100 inverter to cool our freezer an hour in the morning and evening and watch TV a few hours a night. Instead of standing in the freezing cold every 6 hours to refill the generator, we could fill up our Jeep once every two weeks. We live near the well heads, but if natural gas would be interrupted it will run about 3 days on a 20# propane grill tank (left outside).

Honest reviews on PROCOM Blue Flame Wall Heater - 10,000 BTU Output, 300 Sq. Ft

An Excellent, well-built little heater (I now own two of this model).

The mandatory things I needed included:

1. A room sensitive/automatic thermostat (NOT the low-med-high manual type)

2. The size needed to be around 10,000 BTU's

3. That it was made by a trusted company

4. Priced low enough to fit my retirement budget

This unit fit the bill perfectly. I have used a much larger PROCOM heater as my primary living space heater for many years and, as long as I clean out the pilot every year (shut off for the summer), it runs perfectly.

The good:

The unit was well packed and the Installation instructions were accurate.

Everything needed to install the heater(including wall mounting anchors/screws and an allen wrench to UN-cork the gas port) was included.

The unit has a glass cover plate that extends across much of the front burn area (behind the metal grill) which serves as an added flame safety device, dust shield and draft blocker (to keep the pilot from being blown out) which is really an excellent idea. Access to this area to service the pilot is via four screws, two at the top and two at the bottom of the front grill.

-The igniter spark is strong and consistent. Once air was out of the gas pipe the pilot lit quickly and stays on.

The bad:

Nothing to speak of.

Notes:

As a dual use type (can be set to either Natural gas or Propane) it has two internal regulators and independent pilot systems. You should note that the pilot on the right is for the propane. It burns cleanly and fully covers the thermocouple which glows red as it should.

The gas pipe inlet ports are located on the bottom left as you face the heater. I ran my 1/2" black pipe to the left of the heater which allowed for a gentle "s" type curve of the flex pipe. I also purchased the Mr. Heater F271239 One-Stop Universal Gas-Appliance Hook-Up Kit which has everything you will need (except a gas pressure tap which is optional as long as you know your line pressure is in spec.)

The temperature sensing bulb is on the back of the heater very close to the bottom edge. Being on the back, you should be aware of the temperature of the wall you are mounting the heater to. I needed to mount one of my units on a cement wall which constantly radiates cool air during the winter. To minimize excessive and false thermostat turn-on, I insulated the wall behind the heater with 1" hard board insulation then used 2x4 pieces to stand the heater off the wall. So far, so good.

Summary:

The unit burns cleanly with a perfect blue flame and It puts out a good amount of heat for the modest size of the flame area. I liked the heater so much that I purchased a second one and will now be able to run the entire winter with the oil burner off.

Good luck and stay warm!

Quiet operation, odorless, and efficient. Surprisingly, this small natural gas heater works great in my 2500 sq.ft home. It can not heat the entire home when it is below 45 deg outside yet works well as a supplemental heater to my central heating system. I have it running 24/7 for the past month and it has saved me at least $60 in utility bill.

Note: this smaller unit does not come with an internal electric fan.

The heater produces significant infrared heat from the front so be careful about placement and location. I have several CO sensors throughout the house both high and low and there has been no detectable trace of carbon monoxide so far. Will be buying a CO2 sensor to monitor the air quality just to be safe as I plan to run it 24/7 for several months. CO2 is heavier than air, if the heater is placed higher than the ground by several feet, the automatic internal pilot light will not stop the heater until the pool level of CO2 rises high enough. This would put small pets that sleep below the heater's level in danger especially at night when there is no movement in the house.

Overall, I am happy with the product and ease of installation.

The heater looks great. Unfortunately, until I purchased it and red the requirements, I had no idea what was needed in order to connect and use it in my garage. This heater cannot be connected to a supply less than a 100 Lb. tank! I look forward to completing the install in my garage as soon as I finish the drywall & wiring. This heater requires that you create two-vents in the room that it's used-in. One must be 12" from the floor and one must be 12" from the ceiling. Also, take note that using a 100 Lb. Propane Gas Tank will require a "Permit" issued by the local Building inspector...

I purchased a 12 ft hose with regulator and hooked it to my 20 lb propane tank and works just fine,I think the idea behind using a minimum of 100 lb tank is if you are going to heat your house/garage etc you would need it, but for me I just have it for backup heat so I plan on getting a 30 lb tank. The heater works just fine but I do not like the built in fan because on auto it stays on after the heater goes off for that reason I will give it 4 stars.

The heaters aren't even installed yet, so I can't rate their quality yet (but I will when it gets cold). Based on the shipping alone, YES, I would certainly order from this seller again!

I like mine when its running. I have only had to fix it about 15 times. I do like it because it was cheap, 17 bucks at Walmart, and puts out plenty of heat. These will cut off sometimes if they have to much dust in them, may be a safety feature. I had one little wire in it that kept coming loose or arcing. Had to fix that about 10 times or so. The last time must have been the trick. Someone at Walmart told me she had about 20 in the back that people had brought back. In other words, nothing but problems. But if you can fix stuff its not that bad. The case is actually very durable. Simple basic design. I may have just got a bad one. Kinda reminds me of an old car I had that ate a starter every 80,000 miles. Got so use to fixing it that it became no big deal, and only took a few minutes. I know.... strange review.

After reading some of the other reviews, I think some of the other purchasers don't understand how convection heating works. Convection heaters don't give a burst of heat, they heat the air in a room, making them ideal for people who will be moving around. They are not a good fit for people who will be seated and want to direct hot air at themselves. They also need some time to heat the air in the room.

These are excellent heaters. We bought two, and loved them so much I just ordered two more. A single unit keeps a 10x15 room nicely warm using the low setting. This despite a bank of very inefficient windows. They are silent, and very energy efficient, since they use the fact that hot air rises to move the air through the heater. They are pretty big, but are very attractive.

I decided to upgrade to this convection heater and cannont believe the difference. It heats the entire second floor fairly evenly and does not dry the air like the fan heaters did. It looks nice too, which is a nice added bonus. I would recommend it to anyone looking to supplement their heating system.

I have a small house and unfortunately a new, expensive powerful, loud forced air gas heat furnace. I had it put in mainly for the air conditioning factor, but soon regretted the blasts of dry hot air last winter. I missed my old hot water radiatior heaters. I stumbled on this by accident. I liked the looks, I know DeLonghi's reputation so I took a chance boaasting to everyone that I would never use my furnace again. And to my surprise, I won't !! lol This is a great looking, quiet, safe little heater and it heats my 450 sq. ft. house well. A nice toasty warm, natural heat, without all the dryness. As the winter progresses and it becomes colder I may need a second heater but as of now it suits me just fine. I have a fireplace that also provides some heat. So my recommendation to those of you despairing over the cost of a furnace system: Forget it. I would have had I know about these !

Buy DeLonghi PAC700T Pinguino Portable Air Conditioner

Customer Ratings:

I purchased the PAC600T (one step below this unit) from Amazon one year ago. When it arrived, I filled the tank with water, inserted it in the unit and my floor was covered with water less than a minute later. Turns out the unit's plastic base housing was cracked during shipment. Amazon replaced the unit, with the same results for the second unit. At that same time, there must have been lots of returns because Amazon stopped selling the unit. I stepped up to this unit with its slightly higher BTUs and hefty price.

The unit arrived fine, no leaks after filling with water, and I used it most of last summer (in a 14' x 20' room with average height ceiling). The unit puts out cool, definitely not cold, air. The only way to really use the unit is to get it started when the temperature isn't too high, then keep it running. I don't think it would be able to cool a warm room. It simply isn't overly powerful. That may have to do with the fact that it operates at 110 volt, rather than 220 like many AC units that are built into apartment walls.

The unit has been sitting behind my couch all winter. When I went to use it this year, the removable plastic water tank was cracked. It was emptied at the end of the season and not exposed to excessive temperatures, so I don't know what that's about.

I assumed that with the high BTU (and price tag), this would be the unit to use. But I'm going to try one of the less expensive units this year and check out its performance.

I bought 2 units last year. At first it worked fine. Then, this season, when I started to use the air conditioners, one of the unit leaked at the base, ruining my wood floor. I thought I could just use it without water, and I found it to be very insufficient to cool off the room. I have used different models of pinguino and I found that the newer models are more problematic. If it isn't leaking, then it is the alarm light that kept coming on, shutting down the unit. I followed the maintenance procedure to clean the unit, but it doesn't seem to help. I am fed up with pinquino. I think I may have to switch back to those window units.

This product,DeLonghi 700T,was about the worst purchase that I have ever made.The unit ran for 10 mins and then shut off.After several attempts,we finally found the service center that replaced the fan motor--after a 4 month wait for the part.But that did not fix the problem--the unit shuts down after a short run.Because all of this has taken so long,Delonghi says that the warranty is now limited and that I have to take the unit to a service center 50 miles away.It has been close to 2 years and I still do not have a functioning air conditioner.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi PAC700T Pinguino Portable Air Conditioner

I purchased a Pinguino PAC 700T 3 years ago. Rated at 12,000 BTUs, it cools about as well as a 6000 BTU in-window unit. However, at the beginning of this summer season, I find that it no longer cools or dehumidifies air. I found DeLonghi's central service number (800-322-3848 in case you need it) and asked for my nearest service/repair center. They informed me that they no longer have any repair centers in Massachusetts. They suggested that I take the unit to Hartford, CT, about 2 hours from Boston where I live. Having paid $1300 for this unit just 3 years ago, I expected better service than this. It appears that DeLonghi maybe doesn't care too much about supporting their products after the sale. This will be my last DeLonghi product of any kind.

I bought the 700 Pinquino A/C unit because of its excellent energy efficiency and quiet operation. I liked the looks too, so many others look so ugly that I would not have them in my livingroom. I have had the unit for two years now, and so far no problems at all. It works great, and is very quiet, and cools my 700sqft room well, although it takes a while when above 90F. The water reservoir lasts about a day before needing refilling. My only complaint is a minor one: The plastic finish is of good quality, but it scratches easily when moving the unit around and you bump into something. If it had some color matching bumper strips or something around its middle section, that might help. I am happy with this unit.

very economical to operate, and keeps the place warm, much better than the old ones we replaced. My electric bill shows that.

I am very happy with my new Mr. Heater hose hook up, but it did need some tweeking.

I purchased the 12' Mr. Heater hose assembly, hooked it up, clicked the red Mr. Heater spark button and got a small pilot light to burn maybe 4 seconds. Then I could get nothing, no flame at all.

This is not uncommon, I am finding out. The problem has to do with the new OPD safty rigged propane cylinders. Actually, it is caused by a very good safty valve that makes a lot of sense.

There is an Excess Flow shut off valve in the new OPD units, so that your granddaughter dosen't accidently open up a cylinder in your garage and get frost bite or worse from propane shooting out. When the valve senses a sudden need for gobs of propane it shuts off or greatly limits the flow. Sounds like a good thing to me.

However, the people at Mr. Heater make no mention of this. That's not so good. It took me maybe 45 mins. to an hour searching on the internet and experimenting with my own hose before I got it working.

What worked for me was this:

Once the E.F. valve shuts off it wants to stay closed. So you want to bleed a small amount of "hiss" off the pressure valve. To do this, you will find a small slotted screw head on the side of the pressure valve up on top of the tank. Slightly loosen this, let it hiss for a moment then tighten it down again. Now, with Mr. Heater hose hooked up and Mr. Heater off, slowly open the propane cylinder, hopefully you will hear it hiss inside the hose for a moment. That means the valve intially opened and is slowly filling the hose. Wait maybe five minutes for it to fill the hose. Once the pressure in the hose equalizes, you should be able to light Mr. Heater.

This got me going. I hope it helps anyone else with the same problem.

Sincerely,

Randy

If you want to maximize the safety, usefulness and economy of the propane Portable Buddy heater by Mr Heater or any other appliance that uses disposable 1 pound cylinders, you can't go wrong buying this hose!

1. It allows the use of a larger LP tank (I have a 20 lb cylinder). I'm certain the savings from buying LP fuel in bulk will pay for the hose.

2. You can locate the bulk tank away from the lit heater. I use the heater primarily in my garage. With the hose I can get the heater off the floor and still have the bulk tank in a convenient and safe spot.

3. The hose can be used with any propane appliance that uses disposable propane cylinders.

The five foot length of this hose could be a drawback if you need or want to locate the bulk tank at a substantial distance from the appliance; if you don't have the room to move the tank then the length is no problem. The 12 foot hose can provide more flexibility, however.

Here's an essential safety tip for using this hose: be sure to shut/close the valve on the bulk tank BEFORE you remove the hose from the tank. It is possible to remove the hose end from the bulk tank without closing the tank valve and you will quickly find out that liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is another name for stinky, oily mess when it comes squirting out of the valve as I have done.

I use this with a small propane heater to keep my boat cabin warm during winter fishing. I keep the tank outside for safety and use the hose to connect to the heater. Works great. I strongly recommend you use an in-line filter to keep any debris in the tank from clogging the heater. My first Mr. Buddy quit working after 1 1/2 seasons due to a clog. For the replacement unit, I have a filter installed (as recommended).

We needed a portable propane heat source during power outages in northern California. This hose was needed for the Mr. Heater Propane Portable heater. It's safe and easy to use.

It works as advertised. I just wished I had ordered a 12' hose instead of the 5 footer, other than that it works great.
