The product image shows the unit beyond fill capacity for an added "coolness" effect with the water boiling.

The "NESCO" logo becomes very hot to the touch.. so after refilling the lid will need to be closed very quickly or with something to cover your hand to prevent burns.

The first time I filled it up with cold water from the tap (as per the instructions), I thought it took a long time to boil. So then I timed a few boils using cold tap water (wastes least water, most realistic usage scenario for majority of my time):

Boil time 1 not timed, 8 cups

Boil time 2 10:30.0, 8 cups

Boil time 3 2:46.1, 2 cups, no cooldown

So when the product description says "in a matter of minutes hot water will be ready", I think they're going based on the minimum fill amount of 2 cups.. or having filled it with already hot water from the tap. Timing is done from switching power on to when it auto-shuts off using the stop watch on my iPhone. So it may have a second or two margin of error due to reaction time.

After 4 full boils (directions recommend 2) there is still an extremely slight plastic smell to the water which I imagine will go away after a few more full runs. There also appears to be a very light flavor difference between the boiled water from this unit and from our stainless kettle on the stove. It's hardly noticable and when I mix up 3 cups, one boiled from this, one from the microwave, and one from the stove.. I can't accurately pin-point where each was boiled.

Ultimately, I purchased this for convienance. My wife is from the UK; both of us are big coffee and tea drinkers.. waiting for the kettle to boil on the stove top was getting old. Boiling water in an electric kettle is more energy efficient and opens up a space on our stove top again where our stainless steel kettle once sat.

The lighting on the unit is kind of cool but the kids seem to enjoy it more. The light isn't as bright as shown in the product image and is somewhat overpowered by normal lighting within the kitchen.

Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. Now if only they would boil as fast as they do in the UK.. ;)

As someone who lived in the tea-drinking land of the Brits for years, I am fussy about my cuppa. I use distilled water and would be the first to reject the appliance if there was any taint to the taste of the water.

When I unwrapped the kettle, the first thing I did was boil a mixture of tap water and white vinegar, at least a cup of the latter. Be careful if/when you do this -the mixture will literally jump out of the spout of a full kettle when it comes to a boil, so make sure there's nothing like paper or flesh that can be splashed! Then I poured the vinegar mixture down the sink, rinsed the kettle with tap water, filled it with distilled water and boiled a faultless cup of tea.

The kettle is well-designed so that water neither dribbles short of the cup nor leaps past it when pouring, and the balance is good when grasping the handle from well down the side.

The blue light is hoopy, too.

This 'Nesco Electric Kettle' will bring a cool mood to your kitchen.

The kettle turns on a beautiful true blue color to light up the water while it is in the heating process and turns off along with the heating element at the moment the water reaches boiling point.

As much as this kettle is electric, it doesn't sing that tune, so you'll have to rely on viewing the kettle to know whether or not the hot water is ready. If you don't care for that tell-tale kettle's whistle though; not hearing it just might have you dancing along with the bubbles in the boiling water. Those bubbles produce quite a show and are a pleasure to observe if you have a fascination for that sort of thing. The entire front half of the kettle boasts a large clear/opaque plastic viewing pane to enjoy this lighted experience.

There are a few key points to note from my experience with this product.

*kettle only boils water, no other substances are to be heated with this appliance (for best performance don't put tea bags inside either)!

*kettle does not have a way to maintain water at a constant hot temperature for prolonged periods/ no keep warm feature

*once the kettle boils the water, it does turn itself OFF.

*minimum boiling volume is 2 cups at a time, maximum is 8 cups

*kettle comes in two parts; cordless kettle and corded kettle base

*kettle has AUTO OFF built-in feature, no permanent ON feature

*ON switch is on the kettle, not on the base; there are no switches on the base

*interior base is the most metal to come into contact with the water, everything else touching water is plastic

*there is no glass in this appliance

*kettle swivels freely full-circle 360 degrees on base so you can place the handle at any angle

*kettle base takes about as much room as a standard 6 inch round cake pan sitting on the counter as far as surface area

*best practice: to empty out kettle after use as it is not recommended to leave water sitting in the appliance for prolonged periods to prevent eventual calcification

*the filter, a small sieve/strainer located inside the kettle just in front of the pour spout, is removable for rinsing by sliding/slotting into place and is used to protect any sediments from within the kettle from being poured out into your cup

I recommend boiling and rinsing the kettle 3 or 4 times at full capacity prior to enjoying a beverage or meal with water from this kettle for the first time. after following this practice, i experienced no flavor taints in the water.

Overall a fantastic kettle and one of those must have appliances for anyone who enjoys often some hot tea and cocoa, instant ramen or even steaming hot towels used in cosmetic/therapeutic practices. My whole family has been using my Nesco Electric Kettle and commenting on how great it is. I think my old whistling stove top model is jealously retiring.

Honest reviews on Nesco WK-64P 2.24-Quart Electric Water Kettle

We've been using it for 1/2 year now. Workls well, we like it. Previous Krups worked for 13 years and though Nesco has some deficiencies, I still gave it 5-star rating.

Pros:

360-defree rotation when on base

transperent water-view

quick boiling

low-noise compared to other black/steel models

price

look and feel

solid and stable

not heavy, balanced (unlike new Krups)

Cons

you have to fill it above MIN mark/2 cups or it won't shut-off quickly, will be hot

filter/screen(useless anyway) may fall out when lid is open. We don't and fill through the spout.

I just ordered another of these for my grandchild in college. I was surprised at the reviews about the horrible taste and smell. I was worried about that the first time and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't taste of plastic and had no smell. I noticed Bonito Lil's review mentioned using distilled water and that's what I used because I wanted to leave the water in the unit until the next use. Finally, her description of the blue boiling water is right on. It's hoopy. If I'm having a hot drink after dark I turn off the light and watch it boil for my evening's entertainment.

This heater does a great job of heating my 24x26 two car garage in northern Indiana. It arrived from the seller within 48hours of placing my order with standard delivery. The only thing that keeps it from being a five star is lack of a mounting assembly. A little bit of chain wrapped around a ceiling joist took care of that though. It does require a special 240 volt outlet, but the materials to run it can be purchased at any home improvement store. It took me about 20 minutes to run the wire and install the outlet and breaker.

I live in Texas and have a 520 sq ft garage with ceiling/walls insulated, 1 car garage door not insulated and 3 windows. I checked around for code requirements in our area and wired the 240 v/30 amp electrical myself. Mounted the unit hanging down from the ceiling, turned it on and in 2 hours it already had the upper half of the garage up to 60f degrees when 35f outside. Let it run overnight and the garage was 75f next morning....low to mid 30s outside. Thermostat on the unit turns off the fan and heater coils once chosen temperature is reached. Shipper had issues getting the unit shipped... stated waiting for manufacture to ship. Per Amazon's recommendation, I had to send a followup e-mail to shipper to get status of shipment. After that, the shipper sent status mails until the unit had a shipping tracking number. If you need this unit, order early. Took 2 weeks to arrive from the day I ordered it. For our needs ... great price, compact unit and heats as expected.

Cheap Indus-Tool CF Cozy Feet Heated Shoe Insoles

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $24.99
Sale Price: $11.94
Today's Bonus: 52% Off

I agree with the other reviewers that these inserts are cheaply made and the battery packs are a bit awkward, but I have severe problems with cold/numb feet, and these inserts have made it possible for me to be outdoors in the winter for the first time in over thirty years. You must be careful replacing the batteries, as the contacts in the battery holders are VERY fragile. The inserts are paper thin, so they can be used even in tight-fitting shoes, unlike battery-heated socks, which are too bulky to fit in any shoes or boots. The inserts are also better than the single-use toe warmers, because if your feet get too warm, you can simply unplug the wires from the batteries. I hope this company will improve the design and quality of these inserts--I'd gladly pay more for a better product. In the meantime, twenty bucks for these inserts is a good deal. Just make sure to also buy a AA battery charger.

I got this for my boyfriend for christmas, and he hasn't had alot of time to judge the product since it's been warm out, but these are his initial responses:

Pro: Heats up his feet quickly and they stay warm.

Cons: They can get uncomfortably hot if left on for too long. The strap to hold the batteries isn't uncomfortable or problematic, but it is inconvienent. Also, the shoe insert will slide backwards, so unless you want to adhere it to your shoe, it will become very irritating.

These foot warmers are wonderful. The only negative thing I can say is that the wires can be annoying, but once you have them on, you don't notice anything except for your warm toes. You can conveniently turn them on and off as needed. I get a solid 4-5 hours out of a set of rechargeable batteries. This is my first winter with them so I cannot say how durable they are, however even if I have to buy new ones every year--they are well worth it.

Honest reviews on Indus-Tool CF Cozy Feet Heated Shoe Insoles

These are an excellent option to keep your toes warm in the winter if you have poor circulation like me. They cost a bit more than the chemical warmers, but quickly become more economical since you can use them over and over. Unlike chemical warmers they keep working even when your footwear is basically airtight like many well-insulated boots.

Runtime can also be as long as you want since you can switch batteries, but I get about 3 hrs on one set of batteries. They also take standard AA (including rechargeable) so you don't have to purchase expensive battery packs like some alternatives.

They are best used in an already warm piece of footwear though. They don't get super hot, but I find them to be the perfect temp for helping with poor circulation on cold winter days.

I ordered these foot warmers because my toes get cold and numb very easily in cool temperatures. The battery packs that strap to your legs were awkward and bulky and quickly slipped down my legs to my ankles as I walked. I felt some warmth when I first plugged the "cozy feet" in, but could not detect any heat a few minutes later. I returned the item to Amazon for a full refund.

Reviews of Optimus H-9010 Garage/Shop Ceiling or Wall Mount Utility Heater

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $69.99
Sale Price: Price Unavailable
Today's Bonus: 27% Off

I purchased this heater because I had good experiences with a Marvin infrared heater of similar design and capacity. The Marvin failed after many years of dependable service, and since they are no longer in business I choose this Optimus brand.

I purchased my first Optimus H-9010 about a month ago, and have been so pleased with it that I purchased a second one which I installed yesterday. Here are my impressions:

o The stated specification of 600/1200 Watts is incorrect or has been changed. My heaters are clearly labeled as being 750 / 1500 watts, and testing with an amp meter confirms this is about right as it draws 6.3 / 12.3 amps.

o The installation is easy and convenient, the mounting bracket is long enough to straddle two studs spaced 24 on center. Mounting bolts are included.

o Once mounted, the heater can be rotated through 90 degrees that is tilted 45 degrees off vertical each way.

o Build quality seems good, about the same as my original Marvin heater. Indeed, aside from the addition of the light, this Optimus seems to be the same design as the Marvin.

o The unit needs to burn off a bit of factory residue, and it will stink a bit for the first 30 minutes of run time. After this period it runs clean with no smells or odors whatsoever.

o The cord is a generous 82 inches. If you must use an extension cord, make sure it is at least 14 gauge and as short as possible.

o The switch, activated by tugging on the convenient cord, has the following modes:

(0)-Off

(I)-Lamp On

(II)-one quartz element glows (750 Watts) & Lamp On

(III)-both quartz elements glow (1500 Watts) & Lamp On

o The light is a 25 Watt Halogen bulb with a G9 base. It swivels in up-down and left-right so it can be aimed where you want it. Of course this is too tiny a lamp to be used by itself for any serious work, but it never hurts to have extra light in ones shop. I like it, and I don't mind that it is always on while the heat is on, but if it's a problem I guess one could just remove the bulb.

o Operation of the unit is completely silent, with the exception that there are some slight noises as it begins to warm up (due to metal expanding, I presume).

o There is no built in thermostat, the unit is either on or off which is probably adequate for most folks. I rigged up a wall mounted thermostat that powers a ceiling socket, so I can set the heat to any desired temperature (typically about 55-60 degrees), and have found this quite convenient as I can turn down the heat when I'm not in the shop (to about 40) but still ensure that it will not freeze.

o This ceiling mounted heater seems very safe in a dusty environment such as a woodworking shop, because it points down, keeping the red hot rods clean and dust free. In about 5 years of use (with my original Marvin heater) I never had any safety issues, even though I occasionally allow some heavy dust to accumulate on the top of the unit.

o Another nice effect of these ceiling heaters is that when I have glue-ups or finishing jobs I can place them on the bench directly under the heater and they will cure faster than if place off in a colder corner.

As stated in the title, I use this heater in my woodworking shop, which is actually a converted double garage, about 680 square feet in size, located in the Southern Interior of BC Canada. It is insulated, with a wood floor over the concrete slab. The automatic garage doors, which leaked a lot of air and heat, have been removed and walled in. Before I removed the automatic garage doors and covered the cement floor with wood, I was able to keep things from freezing with just a single 1500 Watt infrared heater in fact I was usually able to keep the shop at 50 degrees or better if I allowed the heater to run long enough.

If a single heater was sufficient for my original cement floored shop, you may be wondering why I need two heaters after I've added a cozy wood floor and improved the insulation. It is so that I can better spread the heat around (by running each on half power 750 watts), and also because I can run them both full blast for the first half hour or so to bring the shop up to a comfortable temperature faster (about twice as fast, in fact).

A quick word about comparing heaters to each other. Virtually all electric heaters produce an identical amount of heat per watt. So, in the long run, any 1500 Watt heater, say a fan based unit, will make a room as warm as any infrared heater that is also 1500 watts. The difference lies in what gets warmed up first. A fan based heater first heats the air, and the air then heats the stuff in your shop, including you. The infrared first heats the stuff it's pointing at, which then eventually heats the air. If it's pointing at you, well you feel warm right away, but if it's not, then you don't feel much warmth until the whole room is warm.

If you are comparing this heater to non-electric units, it's best to compare BTUs. This one puts out about 5,000 BTUs.

Hope this was useful.

THIS THING ROCKS!

I absolutely love this heater. I've had it for quite some time now and it puts out a good amount of warmth in my garage.

No, it doesn't make the entire garage an 80º paradise on freezing winter nights, but it does help, and quite a bit. I installed it just above and behind my work bench area and in just a few minutes I can feel the air get noticeably warmer.

WELL worth the money. Would recommend to anyone who works in the garage on cold days/nights.

It installs easily, too.

It took over 2 weeks for my order to ship so be warned that if you order this item it won't be received for around 3 weeks. It's identical to other heaters which have a different brand name, and it's cheaper but you have to hunt for it by looking for the Optimus heater and then click on the cheaper price which comes up unless you want to pay around $70. I got mine for $46.

The mounting bracket is pure crap; a soup can is made of stouter steel. Thankfully the heater unit is very light and long, sturdy screws are included for screwing into wall or ceiling studs. There's a fair bit of heat which escapes from the slits in the housing on the top of the unit which ends up hitting the ceiling. Your ceiling will get warm but not HOT.

Like others have done, I didn't really need the halogen light in the unit so I removed the bulbs. I wonder how much cheaper the heater would be without including the light.

This unit provides all the heat necessary for use, however it automatically shuts off at a certain temperature (WITHOUT THE REGULATOR). Took me a while before I called the manufacturer that "DIDN'T" tell me to bypass the switch. Not great use in Arizona. It gets hot enough to shut the unit down before we even start.

PARTS are really hard to find on this unit as well. We had to make shift a 12" round connector to attach our vent to and the small print says it can't handle vents longer than 12'.

Discount Duraflame Ultra-Premium Gold 4-Pack 7LB Firelogs

Customer Ratings:

I purchased these although there were a few poor reviews. I had been using the standard Duraflame logs. My opinion is the Gold logs burn much brighter and hotter. If the fire dies down a quick poke in the middle of the log will bring about large flames. I have found the burn time to be accurate. If you make fires as much as we do and want a more realistic burn, I would 100% recommend these.

PS, I have a sensitive nose and did not notice much of any fuel smell. I do keep a close by window slightly propped just for fresh air.
