Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I got this product to use as a floor standing LED fireplace. There were some issues with the packing of this product. The sides of my unit were badly bent on one side making it difficult to assemble the unit. The glass was intact and the bag of rocks was present as well as the remote. However, the mounting screws for the base of the unit were not included and I had to get some from a hardware store. The unit was covered in a thick dust which was more like dirt/sand than dust. It was almost as if the unit had been used, abused and returned.

Distributing the rocks was difficult for me (and there weren't enough)...once you get the rocks in place, you have to put on the glass front. Moving the units can displace the rocks you've so carefully arranged.

When turned on, the fireplace does look nice. Based on its dimensions I put this fireplace in my regular fireplace (it fits perfectly). Some of the LED colors look cheesy but I do like the orange/red mix. Unfortunately the unit doesn't remember your color setting so you have to cycle through the colors each time you turn it on. The remote also has a very limited range and I find myself not even using it.

For heat, there are two 750 watt heaters you can turn on which are essentially forced air heaters. When it gets cold enough to use them I will report back on the heating capability of this fireplace.

Overall I am disappointed in the quality of the packing, the lack of a quality control inspection and the overall condition of the item. I'll also point out that my fireplace was placed in the (manufacturer) box upside down...another quality control issue. I have doubts about the longevity of this item but so far it seems to be holding up well despite being scratched, dented and dirty upon arrival.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a review of the Frigidaire VWF-10305 Vienna 2-in-1 LED Fireplace. I am totally dismayed by this product. It came shipped to me in a timely manner, but that was the only enjoyable part of this product. When I opened the manufacturer box, the fireplace was held in place with a few bits of broken, crumbling styrofoam, the bag with the rocks was broken open and they were loosely scattered everywhere, the plastic protective sheet for the glass was only applied to half the surface and was wrinkled and scuffed, the metal "ears" that hold the glass to the base unit were bent out of shape, and the remote control was missing. I must have been sent a used/returned product, because I can't believe that a new unit would have come that shoddily packaged, damaged, and with missing parts.

It gets worse. I have tried contacting the customer service department as instructed on the included paperwork to try to obtain a replacement remote for the one that was missing, but all three attempts so far have been fruitless. I can only conclude that my unanswered requests for customer support means that they do not care to support their product, nor do they want my business in the future.

Due to the number of problems encountered with this product and lack of support from the company, I cannot in good faith recommend this product to anyone. I would suggest looking for a different brand than Fridigaire / R&D Group LLC.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Frigidaire "Vienna"

2 in 1 (Wall Mount & Floor Standing) Color Changing LED Fireplace

Item Number: VWF-1/0305

The Frigidaire "Vienna" Color Changing LED Fireplace measures 35.4" x 5.9" x 22" (90 cm x 15 cm x 56 cm). The fireplace stands an additional 1.75" (4.5 cm) off the floor when mounted on the floor stand. The fireplace weighs a hefty 46 pounds which makes moving it around a bit difficult to do on your own but will be sturdy when you set it down in your chosen spot. Brackets and screws for wall mounting are included.

The Vienna comes with manual and remote control capability with a low setting of "750W" and a high setting of "1500W" and heats a small or medium sized room fairly well. The fireplace can be used with or without heat. When operated manually, you can hold the power button down for 3 seconds to operate the automatic color change function. The flames change color every 10 seconds. There is a "Dimmer" button on the remote control that doesn't dim the simulated flame but changes the color(s) of the flame when pressed. It does not have the automatic color change function when using the remote control. There are 4 basic "flame"colors Amber, Red, Green and Blue and 6 combinations of 2. White stones that look like coals are also included and add to the effect.

The instructions are easy to read and assembly was easy too. The front panel is made if glass and only needs to be cleaned on occasion with a soft cloth. The rest of the unit can be cleaned with a soft duster so keeping your unit clean should be a breeze.

The pictures on the box are no way near to what the "flames" look like when in operation. It looks like tissue paper flames being blown by a fan. In different colors. I think the manufacturer is aware of this because the following is printed on the box: "The features displayed on the package of this product are to the best of the knowledge of its manufacturer and can slightly vary in actuality. Style and color may vary." This product was manufactured in China. I don't know if that makes a difference. You will be surprised by the "Stunning Adjustable Flame effect to set the perfect level of brightness" as stated on the box. The colors are strange. Perhaps that is because they are not all typical flame colors. They would be fun if you were having a party! The LED bulb is not replaceable so if it should stop working, it would just operate with it's heat functions.

The fireplace makes a low humming sound which one would expect, however, there is a strange cyclical clicking sound that we think is supposed to simulate the crackling of a fire.

If you have children in the house you may want to rethink this choice since the front panel is made of glass and even when mounted on a wall, it is recommended that it be mounted "2 feet from the bottom of the fireplace relative to the floor" for optimum viewing. The corners of the glass panel are square and not rounded which could pose another hazard.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire VWF-10305 Vienna 2-in-1 Wall Hanging & Floor Standing

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The photos of this product are fantastic. Unfortunately, what you get in the box does resemble the picture. The packaging for the product is poor. My unit had several nicks, dents, and scratches because of the poor packaging. Setting the unit up is difficult (at least as far as getting it to look like the picture).

The decorative rocks can be irksome. If you're thinking of using this product as a floor heater, you'll have to set it up each time you move it.

The faux flames look pleasant enough if somewhat unrealistic, but again not as impressive as what's pictured. The different colors are a nice touch to help match the room and mood. The flame colors are a matter of taste. Some will enjoy all of them, while others will find a few of the choices gaudy.

The two heat settings are decent. Both are good for heating a small room. A medium-sized room can be heated with the highest setting. Anything larger than that, the unit will struggle to heat up.

For practical heating, a Vornado is a much better choice. If you're looking for something more stylish, this product is a possible alternative. However, given its high price, haphazard packaging, and somewhat misleading product photos, I can't recommend paying a premium for the Vienna's looks.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Our family has actually really been enjoying this little unit. We have it standing on the floor in the living room. It generates a very nice amount of heat when that setting is turned on, and doesn't seem to dry out the air as much as our floorboard heaters do. The flames can be run without heat, and are very pretty. My kids really enjoy the alternating colors. It is very quiet, even when turned to the maximum heat setting. Set up was relatively straightforward, the only problem was that the wrong screws were included. A quick call to the manufacturer set that right, and the replacements arrived very promptly.

The current listed price is kind of steep for what this is, but on the other hand, it seems reliable as a heater and very elegant. A fake fireplace is kind of a novelty item anyhow, and I imagine you are mostly paying for the design. The responsiveness of customer service was very reassuring.

This hose is extremely useful when coupled to the matching 8" blower. I use it to exhaust smoke, fumes, etc. from my garage when I'm wood or metal-working. The flexibility means that I can put the blower anywhere and direct the suction to where I'm working. There are four rings sewn in to the outside that can be used to suspend the hose (or hold it to a wall or floor).

On Halloween, you can fill the duct with white lights and make a 20' long glowing orange worm or path marker.

This cast iron kettle is very sturdy and it looks great on our wood stove. Keeping it full of water while burning a fire to keep the house warm is a great way to keep moisture in the air. Before using this kettle, it became hard to breathe since my nose and throat would dry out. Now there are no worries!

I would recommend this kettle for anyone who uses a wood stove or burns a fire for household heat.

We like this kettle very much. It could not be used as a teapot it gets rusty on the inside and it is very heavy and somewhat difficult to lift; but it sits on top of the wood stove and helps to humidify our house in the dry winter. Excellent value for the money!

Honest reviews on Cast Iron Kettle Humidifier

If you have a wood-burning stove in your home or cabin, this is an essential item. It restores much needed humidity where wood-stoves can tend to dry out a room or environment. It's also made of heirloom quality cast-iron and is sure to last many generations.

This is a good, substantial (heavy) product. It withstands being on the stove top without water, a not too uncommon condition.

However when the stove top is hot and the kettle nearly full, it spits water rather than steam. The solution is, of course, to learn not to overfill it by trial and error. So it's a user fault rather than a product fault. Nonetheless, it's a fault that should be realized.

Customer Ratings: 3 stars

Do not even consider buying this heater. It is terrible in so many ways. Online, this product looks to be sleek and modern looking, but when it arrived it looks like a hunk of tin from the 1970's. Second, the triple combo of purifier, humidifier, and heater sound good on paper but it was unable to handle the requests digitally. The purifier worked well, but the heater had a mind of its own. The digital thermostat was well below the actual temperature in the room, 5-8 degrees in fact. Then it would shut off at random times. The remote would not register the commands and had to be connected to the unit for it to work. When working the unit would make these sounds that could only be related to pennies in a dryer. Tried using it when sleeping, awful. If I had to buy this heater, I honestly would not pay more than $30 for it. Stay away; there is a reason why it is hard to find a 3-in-1 unit, maybe because it just isn't possible...

Got the 1500 model 26 OCT 2011. I have to read the instruction to make this work properly and it did. The quality is much better than my Holmes Quartz heater, infact I'll give it three & three-quarter stars for built quality. The heat is very good. I more than likely NOT gonna use this unit as a standalone Air Purifier and or Humidifier coz I have a standalone SHARP HEPA purifier and Humidifier that are "Library Quiet" that emits less than 30 Decibels fan noise. Set the red core 1500 on mid-size room at 78 Degrees F you might able to hear a very low fan hiss. Good thing that the fan speed adjust automatically as the temp is met. Time to retire my noisy Holmes Quartz Heater. Also I thought of the Amish fireplace look alike heaters, but I prefer the size of the Redcore 1500, its small enough and easy to move in any room in my house unlike those bulky amish heaters. Had I received a defective unit, I would have written something negative as well, fortunately I got a good working unit that I was able to test myself, I'll recommend it to friends, and will probably get a second unit.

An OK if overly complicated unit with usability issues. REVISED

I doubt that the first reviewer ever saw one, unless it was a different model or defective.

The Good:

Reasonably effective heater.

Fully adjustable thermostat.

Displays room temp +/-2 degrees accuracy.

Ultrasonic Humidifier adds about 3 to 4 percent humidity to a large room.

Air purifier seems to work well. REVISED see below

Controls are proximity not touch and should last.

Large fancy LCD display easy to read.

The bad:

Any momentary power glitch resets the unit to off. Not suitable for unattended operation as a result.

Controls are complicated and not as well documented as they could be.

The humidifier really wants distilled water. REVISED running one batch of tap water left it operating intermittently.

The ultrasonic humidifier ejects a plume of water vapor that can dampen stuff.

The controls are poorly marked and have odd interactions.

The controls are not illuminated so often hard to see

Air purifier is ineffective for pollen.

The ugly:

Because of the humidifier really needs to be elevated.

Controls are fussy, .

To use the air purifier you need to set the temperature then the offset time.

Timer is time to start not to turn off, It would be easy to have both.

Fan and humidifier aren't loud but not especially quiet.

Distilled water makes it expensive to operate.

Overall works so so but is unnecessarily fussy and suffers from phony reviews. As well as being relatively expensive.

...but it's more of a lovable early '80s ugly. Received this the day after I ordered it with standard shipping, on the 13th hottest day of the year. So far, everything is working as described. I'd purchased another brand with similar features last winter; that unit died within 24 hours, and a cheesy, '50s ugly fake fireplace displayed real flames after the second day, so at this point I'm easily satisfied. But -make no mistake, this has a thin hard plastic chassis, but make no mistake, all of these do, save for the wooden ones and the single metal unit I'm aware of. All of them are lined with metal; I don't know what protects the internal electronics from heat, but the instructions say if the filter is dirty the unit will operate very poorly. The main remote itself is quite impressive, rechargeable was an unnecessary and thoughtful bonus, and the main power switch is no-nonsense no-accidents heavy duty. While the previous unit was working, it spit out a whole lot of heat, more than I'd like (temp couldn't be set below 68f.) Theoretically these shouldn't be able to heat at all, as I read online infrared allegedly only heats water, and then only if directly in the path of the rays. So just be thankful this thing heats at all, and quit your complaining already. Defying internet physics -what more could you ask for at under $200?

And if you're afraid of guests complaining about how tinny it looks, do what I did: get a deeply discounted '60s ugly germ guardian from myquickby, guaranteed to divert attention from this cute little monstrosity.

Fox 48' TV Stand with Electric Fireplace in Black/Walnut
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I just got this fireplace and I love it! Very impressed with the realism of the flames and logs.

I bought this for the ambience it gives my living room and not for the heater so can't really comment on how well it will heat a room as I haven't used it.

Pros: Realistic looking flames and logs. Well built and sturdy. Open shelf is wide enough that it holds both my cable and home theater plus my center speaker.

Cons: The open shelf is only 14" in depth. So make sure you measure the components you plan on using. Mine stick out a bit but doesn't ruin the looks. This is the reason I have given it 4 stars instead of 5.

Cannot comment on shipping as I found this in a little shop. However, I had been looking on line and Amazon has the lowest price I have seen.

We've used this space heater for a little over a year to heat our girls' bedroom at night. I was really pleased with it the first year, but noticed recently that it never seemed to switch off, even though we would put it at the same temperature setting as we always had. So I tested it in my office during the day, so I could be sure to notice if it ever switch off. I ran it for about 5 hours in my office, and even though the office became quite warm, the heater never kicked off.

It still works well as far as putting out heat and everything, but I would not have purchased it originally if it didn't have a thermostat, which now doesn't seem to be working.

Discount Zojirushi NP-HTC10 Induction Heating 5-1/2-Cup (Uncooked) Pressure

Zojirushi NP-HTC10 Induction Heating 5-1/2-Cup Pressure Rice Cooker and Warmer
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
1) Note that better prices can be had offline. I bought this product for $239 at an Asian grocery store and it came with a 20lb bag of rice to boot. I imagine the invoice price is around $200. Someone's making an insane amount of profit selling this for $400+.

2) This rice cooker produces moist, fluffy, chewy, textured rice that exceeds a vast majority of the restaurants out there, including those that cook individual portions of rice in stone pots. It will spoil you and make you a snob when it comes to rice. The menu has different settings for pretty much any kind of rice you want to cook like white (soft, regular, hard), brown, mixed, rinse-free, sushi, porridge, GABA, etc. You can keep the rice warm and tasting fresh for upto 24hr.

3) Good things take time, but this cooker pushes the limit of patience, taking ~50mins for white rice, ~75min for mixed rice, and upto 3.5hr for GABA rice. Fortunately, there's a timer so you can tell it to have rice done by say 6pm, as well as an express mode (25mins) when you are starving. Though still quite good, rice cooked in express mode tends to be slightly firmer and not as impressive as the regular mode. (Minus half star for long cooking time)

4) Compared to the $10 variety I used for a number of years, this one has more parts to clean. The non-stick bowl, the inner lid, and the steam vent needs cleaning after each use as you'd expect. In addition, you need to check if any debris is obstructing any of the sensors, holes, or vents. The air intake and exhaust located on the bottom of the cooker for dissipating heat needs an occasional vacuuming. (Minus half star for extra cleaning required)

5) This unit is rated at ~1230 watts, but that doesn't mean it's using that much electricity continuously like a hair dryer. The cooker turns the heat on and off as needed like an oven to maintain internal temperature and pressure. (Since posting this review, I measured the total electricity consumed by using a Kill A Watt 4460 meter and it came out to 3 cents per use.)

6) Back to the original question, is it worth it? This is really a personal decision based on your budget, utilization, and love for rice. My thought process was I could buy 16 x 20lb bags of rice, or get this rice cooker and enjoy that 1 bag of rice like I never have before. Finding it for $200+ cheaper sweetened the deal too.

I have never had a better more intuitive rice cooker than this Zojirushi! I am just sorry I had not purchased it sooner. It makes delicious brown rice (I have not tried the GABA yet, but I expect it to be par excelllence). The brown rice is the best that can be made as long as it is washed, as you should with all rice. I love trying new things to add to my brown rice and I am itchin' to try the GABA. I could not recommend this rice cooker with greater enthusiasm, delight and satisfaction.

I cooked Steel Cut Oats on the Porridge setting, and I could not have made it better; as a matter of fact, I was extremely pleased and mine, heretofore, never tasted as good.

Best Deals for Zojirushi NP-HTC10 Induction Heating 5-1/2-Cup (Uncooked) Pressure

I have been cooking rice with Japanese rice cookers for decades. When my last one failed after more than 20-years of service, I decided to buy the best replacement I could find, regardless of cost. (It's easy for me to justify paying a premium for a product I plan to use on a daily basis for decades.) After much research, I chose this one because it seemed to me that the Zojirushi induction pressure rice cookers were regarded as among the best rice cookers sold in US.

I am very happy with the build quality, look and convenience features of the product. However, after buying the rice cooker, I realized that pressure cookers produce rice that is too soft for my taste. I now know that many people prefer pressure rice cookers specifically because they produce super soft rice that doesn't adhere together too much. I prefer rice with a little more body. After corresponding directly with Zojirushi, I learned that the "soft", "medium", and "hard" settings can only be used when cooking white rice on the default setting, but not in any of the other settings (e.g., quick rice) or with any other grains (e.g., brown rice) and that white rice cooked on the "hard" setting in this cooker is roughly as hard as white rice cooked in a non-pressure cooker on the default setting.

I had eight people from three families individually compare high quality white and brown rice freshly cooked in this cooker and a budget one-button rice cooker in side-by-side blind taste tests. Everyone had surprisingly strong preferences, but their preferences were roughly equally split between rice cooked in the pressure cooker and budget cooker based on texture. Those who liked super soft rice thought the rice cooked in the Zojirushi was great. Those who didn't prefered the rice cooked in the budget cooker.

I rate this cooker with 1-star, while my wife would give it 5-stars, based solely on whether we happen to like super soft rice. I like everything about the cooker, except for the texture of the rice it produces. If I had my druthers, I would swap this pressure induction cooker for a non-pressure version from the same maker. Unfortunately for me, her vote is more equal than mine, especially in the kitchen....

Honest reviews on Zojirushi NP-HTC10 Induction Heating 5-1/2-Cup (Uncooked) Pressure

Got this Pressure Rice Cooker and used it the next day. White rice came out better than any other rice cookers I have owned. It was a lot of money, but in my opinion, was so worth the cost. You get what you pay for, and in the case of this rice cooker, I got exactly that -one excellent cooker! Had no problems with it, just followed the directions and used their provided cup to measure level cups of raw rice. It is a 5 Star all the way!

The negative first: it's expensive and not for everyone (i.e. you do not eat rice a lot, and yet I am Asian).

The rest is nothing but positive. It looks good and makes fantastic rice. I don't quite understand how it does it, but this rice cooker manages to make brown rice the same consistency of white rice. If you and your family only casually eat rice, this is not the rice cooker for you, buy something a lot less expensive. If you eat rice more than once a week it is definitely worth it from my perspective. It is well designed and very easy to clean.

$30 but can be bought in some places locally for same price.

Kinda reminds me of cross between toaster and older computer with large loud fans. Only had it for a day though.

First impressionnot quiet. I dont care, u might. Cheaply made. Small. Looked at 16x11x6" dimensions on box and laughed. They lie about the dimensions by a little bit. Not a ceramic or quartz element, i dont think (but supported by ceramic posts). Frankly, I wanted old school style heater...just a filament wire with electricity flowing through it.

Trying to heat one small room. 1500w is kinda a lot of power consumption. Think of 1000w microwave on for hours or a 1500w light bulb. You could probably cook with this thing or heat stuff up (after kill switch mod/rotation). Makes me wonder what a hot plate burner consumes for power and how hot that gets though, well, cause those are half the price of this.

Doesnt seem to be performing as well as the small Patton brand one it replaced but that one cost twice as much at least. Not sure of Patton wattage and it was ceramic element. This Duraflame heated the room to 71F in the winter. The Patton has lasted for 3 years or more.

well it hasnt even been a week and the sheet metal is vibrating and is just annoying. Kinda wanted some white noise and heat but now I dont think I can use it in the house unless I can fix that noise.

In this case I think you get what u pay for.

How do I make this 2 stars now?

me, like everyone else in this economy is trying to save money on home heating bills. i live in a fairly small trailer, and with kerosene for my furnace at almost 4.00 a gallon, you have to try something to save a few dollars to stay warm, while not breaking the bank.

i purchased this particular model for alot less locally, and brought it home and fired it up. puts out a decent amount of heat for a 1500W heater. i was able to raise the temperature in my living room by 4 degrees in about an hour.

while it won't heat a whole house, it seems to do fine for a small or midsize room.

built in safety features! if you knock it over, it will cut off automatically. i would NOT SUGGEST you leave this on all night after you go to bed.

it's not a bad deal to supplement your primary heating source such as a furnace.

if you think you will heat your house/living space with this, think again, it simply doesn't have the power to do it. otherwise a decent buy. but, you have to be right up on it to feel the heat being produced.
