The heater stopped working within the first year under warrenty. The company made me take the unit apart, not an easy process, and mail back one of the components at my expense ($35.00 in shipping). Received the part back supposedly repaired a few weeks later and had to put everything back together again, which was again very difficult to assemble. Product then overheated and melted 3 electric outlets, all of which had to be replaced. You could feel the heat in the wall around the outlet. Lucky it didn't start an electrical fire and burn the place down. Then got rid of it. No response from Sunheat about this.

I own a gift store in the high sierra mountains and needed a heater for the store floor. This heater does a great job. It has a good heat throw without being overly hot and I can't tell a difference on my electric bill for the store. I'm buying 2 more. The price of the heaters will be cheaper than one month's natural gas bill. Good buy and great product!

Great concept, however the biggest flaw is the thermostat. The unit itself comes packaged well and is very easy to install. They even include a drill bit for the correct size holes needed for the wall anchors. I have this installed exactly as instructed in our baby's room. We wanted to keep the temperature in the room at exactly 74 degrees. The heater's thermostat is not accurate to even 2 degrees. Best bet is to get the non-digital thermostat version and buy the Lux wall plug thermostat.

Very easy to install and does a very good job to turrn a normally cold room into one that is very comfortable. The only downside is the thermometer. It seems to do the job of getting hotter as the number goes up, but the actual use of it to serve as a thermostat for the room is not so great. I might consider an external thermostat for my next version instead of it being built in. Overall, a good heating solution for a small to medium sized room.

This is a very elegant heater for small spaces. It's a nice matt white finish out of the box, and the textured ceramic finish is paintable. I bought this to replace the TERRIBLE Envi 220V heater a customer had me install (malfunctioned, right out of the box; customer service wouldn't accept the return without the box, nor pay return shipping in any case). The finish appearance, installation process, and the fact that the thing worked, were all refreshing improvements over the Envi heater. I was able to convert my 220V hard-wired connection to a shallow-wiremold surface mount 120V duplex receptacle on a 15A GFCI circuit breaker. At only 400W, there's no need for 220V for this type of heater, anyway. Now, the customer gets an extra GFCI receptacle socket so they could shave and use a hair dryer at the same time, if they wanted!

The installation in wall-board or flat masonry walls was very straightforward using the supplied integrated-standoff-and-wall-anchor device.

Single-use anchor/standoffs could be a problem for some users / applications

Should you be mounting to a wood wall (maybe you shouldn't, due to heat or potential malfunction and fire?) or some other material that does not support an expanding plastic anchor fastening method, you may be out of luck. Also, measure three times before drilling for the anchors (masonry bit supplied) or installing them, since the unit ships with only the 4 you will need, and you won't find anything that will work as a substitute at the hardware store. Don't lose, use in the wrong location, or break these anchor/standoffs!

Thermostat defaults to 72 whenever power is cycled off and back on.

The integrated logic-controlled thermostat seems to work well, although it does not remember the user setting after cycling the power off; it defaults to 72 degrees Fahrenheit as the set temperature when turned back on. Setting memory would be nice in case you want to operate it through a wall-receptacle timer device. 72 is not too bad a default setting, but users may wish they had more options to set their own target for when the timer turns the unit on again after down time.

Not for use in bathrooms?

The instructions state that the unit is "not intended for use in bathrooms or other areas where users could be in contact with water while operating the unit". I presume the manufacturers don't trust your existing receptacle to be GFCI-protected (many older bathroom, laundry, kitchen and basement receptacles are standard type where they should be GFCI-protected due to the likelihood people may be solidly grounded to water pipes or wet masonry floors while contacting the receptacle device, it's cover, or a cord-connected appliance that has a dangerous ground-fault. I consider that when connected to a GFCI in a plumbed location like a bathroom, the T400 U unit should be safe to operate.

Fire Sense Notebook Charcoal Grill

The Good:

I bought this grill for this summers motorcycle camping adventures. I can't think of a better use for this grill. Narrower main body section gives many options for tying down, and on my bike (a shadow 750) the bottom "foot hole" was able to go over and around my sissy bar and sit on my rack. Pretty sweet. 2 up camping now comes with a BBQ!

The Bad (at least for motorcycle camping):

It is a bit flimsy (but quite stable when open for grilling). With care, I am expecting to get about 50 or so BBQs out of it. After it falls apart I am planning to go to a metal shop in town and have it re-fabricated in some heaver gauge steel. I would be willing to have a little heaver (and smaller) grill for motorcycle camping if it was durable. The grilling surface is large. Expect to need about 3 pounds of charcoal to get it going well, 6 pounds (an entire small bag) of charcoal for a full grill to feed 4+ people. This makes it a requirement to setup camp, and then ride out to get groceries and charcoal. Messy.

I've BBQ'd for years and have to say the "action" on this grill is quite good. If you really have a need for an extremely portable grill, I would definitely recommend it. If you are just looking for a smaller grill for car camping or porch cookouts I would recommend the more traditional Coleman and Weber portable grills with a lid and better durability.

I had been wanting a foldable grill and didn't even know they existed until I came across this one on Amazon. It not only saves TONS of space on my small patio but it delivers in quality of food too! I've had a few bbq's with this grill so far and the quality of food has been phenominal. I find the easiest thing to do is to buy one of those small charcoal bags that all you do is light it no need to open the bag. It fits perfectly in this grill. The cleanup is very easy and not messy at all. And I absolutely love that it folds up to be about 1/2" wide. It takes up no room at all on my patio. I gave up my Weber big grill for this one great decision!!! I highly recommend this grill as it is great for serving about 6 good sized burgers and about 4 hot dogs on the grill at the same time. When I had it delivered at my job a couple of co-workers had me open it and display it for them. Then after that weekend of testing it out, I reported the good news to them and they bought it too. If you're looking for a small portable, durable, inexpensive, & reliable grill -get this one!!!

I bought this grill because I have a small RV camper with limited space. The grill worked great except the grill is on very top with no sides so hot dogs can easily roll off. Also after one use, the paint peeled off and looks terrible. Seems like they could have used heat resistant paint like other grills. Once nice thing is after you finish cooking, you can throw in a couple of small pieces of wood and have a small camp fire. It is made of very thin material so it cools off fast once you dump out the coals so you can pack it up for travel. It would be nice to have a carrying case as it is nearly impossible to put back in the box. Other than that is exactly what I have been looking for for years.

Honest reviews on Fire Sense Hotspot Notebook Portable Grill

It's an OK grill. Can't be moved with ease once lit. It's good for trips to the park with the way it folds up when not in use. I DON'T like the holes in the bottom because the coal dust falls out and this item cannot be put on say something (grass) that can go on fire. With the hole in the bottom there should be some sort of tray to catch the burned out coals that fall. I'm somewhat disapointed.

It is so flimsy that it was bent when I opened it, and as a result, it lost alignment. Don't buy it.

This fan... ahem, I mean air circulator is amazing. I was searching for a good tower-type fan for the living room and during my research online I came across this company, Vornado. They have this video online which compares their vortex air-circulating technology to regular fans and I was sold. Vornado said that most fans when they are oscillating would only send out a breeze of air only for brief seconds before you're waiting for next the revolution, which is very true and it wouldn't cool the air at all, so you would just get air blown at you without feeling cool especially if you have damp, humid air with poor circulation in the room. Well what Vornado's vortex technology does is that it circulates the air, this model circulates up to 70-ft, balancing the cool and hot air of the room to an even temperature that feels cooler and less humid. And this fan does just that! You can actually feel this cool breeze even when the fan is not blowing air directly at you and when air is being blown directly at you it is very cool air and really moves a lot of air with just a small unit. You can better understand the vortex technology if you google or youtube "The Vortex Difference". I'm so sold on this fan that I'm hoping my other pedestal fan dies so I can soon replace that with another of Vornado's air-circulators.

Had this fan about 2 weeks and it works great. I have had two seperate people tell me that fan is amazing. Really does move quite a bit of air for a little guy and it is pretty quiet. If you are thinking of purchasing an oscillating fan do not waste your money. This fan moves air all over the room. great buy and a space saver

This product is very well made and moves a lot of air. It is very quiet and compact enough to fit in a window great for bringing in the cool night air. I was a little concerned to see that there is a fuse in the plug since I have never seen that. I called Vornado customer service to ask what size and type the fuse is so that I could get a few to have on hand and they sent me several free of charge. Thanks Vornado!

Awesome little heater. Make sure you follow the directions and use a wrench to tighten the fittings. I did not the first time and caught the whole thing on fire. Other than that it heated up an oversized 2 car garage in about 20 minutes to warmer than the rest of the house. I used it to heat an area about 300 ft2 in an non-insulated outdoor tent and it worked well too. Just do not leave it unattended while it is on. The propane lasts along time and it was not noisy.

Even though the H-8010 is a heavier wood cabinet it makes the heater very stable. It is surprisingly easy to move with the smooth wheel base, even on carpet. I like the Overheat Thermal Cut-off and Tip-Over Safety Protection features. LED is easy to read.

The unit temperature can be increased or decreased easily with the remote as well as shut off remotely. Even after running the unit all night the entire cabinet remained cool to the touch. I also like that I can shut off the power/LED from the rear switch so that I don't have to unplug the unit when I'm away.

I reduced the temperature on our home heating system and ran the Optimus in the living area during the evening and bedroom at night. With lower whole house heating we have less static and less dryness in our home making it more comfortable. The big bonus was the December heating bill 45% less than the previous years bill! I'm considering using it at work.

It's not winter yet but has been as cold as 32 overnight. I can't comment on the cost yet and will update when the energy bill arrives.

I'm using this to supplement the heat on my second story colonial home. UNDERSTAND INFRARED TAKES TIME TO PENETRATE YOUR WALLS, FLOORS , FURNITURE AND YOU! IT DOES NOT HEAT THE AIR. This little unit is a very nice looking cherry stained cabinet that matches the furniture. It has a luminescent blue LED SCREEN like a high-end appliance. The heat is FAR FROM INSTANT. It takes hours to heat up BUT once it does after maybe 4-5 hours for my second story 2300 sq ft home it is a wonderful pleasant heat. Even the cold bathroom tile floor is pleasantly warm!

I have yet to turn my furnace on but if this is energy-efficient when the bill comes, I will order a second for the downstairs . Infrared is a penetrating heat that will take the chill off. So far this is a thumbs-up unit! In addition I got it directly from amazon and it shipped overnight!

As I said in the Title. This Filter is amazing. Very easy to hook up and works great. I am using it in a 20 Gallon Tall Aquarium. The Aquarium is Fully Planted with Fluval Stratum as substrate and it keeps the water crystal clear.

The Heater on the other hand is performing way less than expected. The heater has an internal thermostat which tells you how warm the water temp is. I am unsure if that is accurate or if my other thermometer is not accurate because they differ by 3 degrees F. The heater itself is also very bad. It heats the water alright but the other day I came in and the temp was 80 Degrees F. I have it set at 76 Degrees. That was the worst part but usually I notice that the water temp varies by 3-4 degrees throughout the day and is never stable. I am going to take this heater out and replace it with something more stable.

This is my third tankless hot water heater. Absolutely loved the first two. This one, however, has limitations I've never seen: maximum hot water temperature setting is 120 degrees. Living in SE Alaska, I need really hot water. I was pleased with the shower temperature, but for washing dishes, the water is just not hot enough. It never gets hot enough that you can't stick your hands in it. Put it into a dish basin/sink, however, and it's rapidly tepid. I never expected to have to heat hot water on the stove to wash my dishes having spent over $1000 (with required piping/plumbing) on this. I'd need at least another 20-30 degrees in temperature for adequately hot water for dish washing. My previous 2 tankless systems had plenty of hot water, and the ability to set the temperatures appropriately; the limitation on this one makes it sub-par, to say the least. If you live in a cold winter climate, such as the northern US, I'd try to find a different system if I were you.

The water heater stopped working on a Saturday after 7 months.

Called customer service, was told the replacement parts will be sent out the next Monday, and arrive on early Tuesday morning. Well, once the package arrived Tuesday afternoon, it turned out Rheem sent out only 1 part, missing the other part that was promised to be sent out in the beginning! I was told to wait for two more days for the other part to arrive, and the contractor will come to fix the problem only after the parts have arrived. Horrible customer service, can't believe they messed up such an easy task, and keep my family suffering from no hot water in the house.

The reason I give 2 star instead of 1 star is that when it works, the water heater works great.

I looked at a lot of wall hung electric fireplace/heaters, and chose this one due in large part to a thorough review that told me the unit vents the heat from the bottom of the unit, unlike most others. This was just what I wanted but hadn't found yet.

The unit came well packaged, but without mounds of extra unnecessary cardboard or bubble wrap.

It was really easy for me to install by myself (an average size 5'3" woman) with clear directions.

I live in an older home that does not have any insulation in the walls, and when I turn the unit on in the bedroom, it turns a frigid room into a comfortable one within about 5-10 minutes.

I would recommend this to anyone wanting a space heater that is attractive and doesn't take up floor space and doesn't project far from the wall when hung properly.

Originally the photo associated with this was of another estate design fireplace, (don't worry the correct image is up now) so when I received it that was the only thing that was disappointing; however, my husband convinced me the black design would work best in our living room and he was right. I get many compliments on this fireplace and the kids love it because I can change the backlight colors. A very cool feature is the heater....the heat works great and comes out from the bottom on the far left and far right, you have the option to use only one side, both or none. The remote is easy to use and gives you several flame options as well as backlight options. I am happy with this purchase and the only thing I need to figure out is how to hide the cord to make it perfect.

It is absolute the best heater I have ever used!!! I tried over 8-9 heaters ranges from $70 to $250 (all with 4+ ratings, as I read all reviews before buying) and I rarely would give anything 5 star. Here is why: 1)It is very quiet, 2) warm, 3) it has a temperature control which was a bonus as it was not on the description when I purchased it 4) the temperature is very accurate unlike many others out there, it shuts off right when it reaches the temp, 5) very attractive looking, 6) can be stand alone or wall mounted. We used it in our bedroom, which I think is a waste as it is so pretty that it should be placed in the living room to show it off! Excellent buy!
