I keep it in my bathroom; well away from water of course. It heats up the space when I shower in the morning during the cooler months. It does not use very much electricity, heats up a small room quickly and prevents me from turning up the heat for the entire house! Well worth the price, keep the dust cleaned off of the back of the heater.

The heaters are relatively inexpensive and very compact. Overall, I think they are worth the money. The only complaint with the unit is that, unlike a lot of others I've had, it doesn't automatically shut off upon tipping. The manual says it will shut off if tipped, but it isn't immediate. Would prefer to see that safety feature improved, however I may be missing something. The unit remains cool on the outside and presents less hazard in a lot of ways to others, so a plus there.

The heater pictured is different from one I ordered and recieved. I think I got a newer model, I had the one pictured for several years and it worked fine. The one I recieved does not work on all settings, only low. It worked fine when I first got it and now after a few weeks it does not. I use it in my office and it is quite and would be fine if it worked and didnt shut off on some settings. Not sure if I just dot a defective heater.

Honest reviews on Holmes HFH105-UM Compact Heater Fan with Adjustable Thermostat

This little, inexpensive heater puts out a fair amount of heat for its size. I used mine to heat my motorcoach (about the size of a small apartment) and it performed really well. The fan was quiet (like white noise) which, at bedtime, was quite soothing. Unfortunately, the pedestal base is inadequate for this fan. Mine tipped over too many times to count, and was very unstable (tipping over at the slightest vibration). To make matters worse, there was no safety cutoff. If the fan tipped over, I had to be Mr. Johnny-on-the-spot and right it before it burned a hole in my carpet. The last time it tipped over, it took me about 10 seconds to get to it. By the time I righted the unit, the motor had burned out and died. No smoke, just dead. I took it apart to fix it, but it is unfixable. It's a powerful, efficient heater, but the design sucks. I will be buying another one of these (assuming the company doesn't swap it out for a different model, like one commenter stated), and I will be reinforcing the pedestal so the dumb thing doesn't tip over. I've tried a lot of heaters, and for the low price, this thing is a gem -just be sure to nail it to the floor!

It doesn't have a thermostat. I don't know where they got that idea from. I only needed a heater for a couple of months and this was on clearance at Target for $3.50 so I thought I'd give it a try. It'll heat up a room....eventually. And it's very loud, even though it's so small. I have to turn my tv up two times as high as usual when the heater's on.

DeLonghi SafeHeat Oil-Filled Radiating Heater Reviews

Customer Ratings:

It took me awhile to find a small portable heater that would turn itself on at a specific time as well as turn itself off at a specific time. Most portable heaters had timer shutoffs but required you to first turn them on. My goal was simple, warm up the bathroom before I got up in the morning. This Delonghi Model filled the bill. The timer mechanism which turns the heater on and off is accurate and reliable. The thermostat also works accurately and reliably to maintain a very even heat.

It took a little experimentation to determine how long the heater had to run at the various heat settings to warm up the approx 10X10 bathroom so I knew when to have it cut on to raise the temperature to the desired level for my early morning wakeup trip. Long story made short, it works quite well in achieving the desired result... I have it set to turn on two hours before I get up and the bathroom is, as a result, toasty enough each morning. I should disclose that the heater operates in a bathroom with a 12' ceiling which is a bit taller than the typical 8' ceiling more commonly found...it requires a longer warm up time as a result. I can also report that the heater is totally silent. The only sounds I've ever heard are some very light tapping sounds of very short duration when it first comes on and up to temperature(tis the nature of applying heat to metal). Same thing happens when it shuts off and begins to cool down. I should emphasize that these sounds are very subtle and of short duration. Barely noticeable.

I have read some other comments regarding an odor emission. I noticed the same thing the first couple of times it was used but absolutely nothing since. I'm sure it was some kind of protective coating they apply to the surface at time of manufacture. In any case, with the exception of it's initial break-in, no odors since.

Summary: Very pleased with the performance of this space heater for my purpose. It's not designed or built to heat large areas but is quite effective and efficient in heating modestly sized areas. I really like the convenience of automatic turn on and off, which by the way can easily be suspended or readjusted as necessary. Because it is of the convection type design it provides a very even heating without the hot spots the small forced air heaters can generate. I would deem it safe to use around children and pets as well. No extremely hot exposed surfaces and has the required safety shutoff mechanisms if the unit should ever get knocked over.

Read a lot of good things about this heater. Not all of it was true. I gave 3 stars as the features are good, it quiet and does give off decent heat for medium rooms. I live in MI, winter is a bear at times, and when trying to save cost, this is a good heater for a medium to small room (10x10). Unit will struggle and you will be cool to cold in a room much over 10 x 15 unless you can really close off the room well. Would not recommend this for someone that likes it toasty and has a large room, this would just take the nip out if that.

It works well for a small bedroom but don't use it for a living room. Also, I tried to carry it one day while it was cold and dropped it with the bottom facing down. Because they're made of cheap plastic, two of the casters broke! Only one side has a handle, not the onther side, so it was easy to slip from my hand and drop. Finally, you should know that while the unit does work, it takes several hours to heat a room up.

Cheap 12V, Travel Mug, Stainless Steel

Customer Ratings:

I have had many kinds of 12v mugs. Most have been poor quality and inexpensive. I decided to buy what looked like a new design and was 3-4 times more expensive than any I had previously purchased. I WAS WRONG!!! The design was new but the effectiveness of the product was sadly lacking. To the touch it felt warm on the inside. but it did not have the capability of keeping even very warm coffee warm. I had tried it for even 2 hours and the contents going in warm came out practically cold. I bought two cups--so it was not just one defective cup. I returned them to Amazon! :(

Heating is very weak, but it does heat (sort of). Mine had a leak in the bottom when I received it, which I repaired, assuming it was a fluke and not just poorly made.

The coffee is very hot for a long time and the USB is very convenient to use. My problem with the cup is that it drips when you drink from it. The lid is on tight and the coffee is not higher than the bottom of the lid. I wanted to email you about this problem but maybe this is enough to get a response.

Overall the cup functions well as a cup. Don't expect much beyond that. Heating element draws too much power causing USB ports on PC's to report a 'over current' situation on a USB port and then deactivates that port. Also blows fuses in the car. You get what you pay for.

The short handles are convenient for cleaning up when you're sitting by the hearth, and the hooks are handy. These were a great deal at $15, and they look OK and seem sturdy enough. But the workmanship is not great: many of the cuts, rivets, welds, etc. are rough or crooked.

I have provided two personal photos to show size. I am satisfied with this heater but beware that most states, including mine (MA), prohibits vent-less heaters as primary sources of heat and should only be used as supplemental.

With that said, please be aware that although this product is 99.9% efficient, the unit does give off a smell. The gas by-products that are burning off into the air make the .1% and it is important to keep one window cracked 1 inch.

I have a 1000 square foot apartment, and this year (December 2012) temperatures have dropped below 32 degrees a couple of times and this heater has more than done its job. It is extremely warm and very nice to look at with the blue flame and compact size.

This model does NOT have a digital reading of the temperature despite the product image description. I did purchase an indoor digital thermometer along with a carbon monoxide detector for safety, it has not detected any levels of carbon monoxide. It does come with a kit to either mount it to the wall or have it free standing.

I spent over 5 months researching gas heaters before buying this one, and am overall very satisfied with the physical and mechanical performance.

I did have to call customer serviced a couple of times with questions and they were not only helpful but there weren't any wait times.

Great heater! We had a Williams brand wall heater that failed on us. If we were to fix it , it would have cost us around $150 just to buy the pilot for the old heater SO we decided to try this product. Note that the one we bought does not require vent, blue flame, natural gas. The blower fan blows the heat from the unit towards the room it helps make the room heat quicker and it helps keeps the unit and the things close to it reasonably cool. Also we got the blue flame coz we read somewhere that the yellow flame gives out radiant heat (not sure). The 20k btu heats up a 20-30 degrees 700 sqm (approx) fairly quick. I would buy this product as a gift or recommend it to others.

I am pretty happy with the heater, but I have run several tests on the blower fan ... and I can't even tell a 1 inch difference in whether the fan is on or off.

I hear the fan running, (and I can see the blades moving) but it does not blow into the room (not even one inch more than if the fan is not on) I am beginning to think the fan blades have no significant pitch to them ie they just spin but do not move any air forward.

What do you suggest?

Reviews of Vornado 153 Tower Circulator - 32" Upright Fan (Black)

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $119.99
Sale Price: $88.83
Today's Bonus: 26% Off

By placing the fan near a wall and around 20' away, the air volume and dispersion is impressive. It really beats an oscillating fan given that the airflow is constant. We own another oscillating tower-style fan, and the Vornado blows it away! We opted for the smaller Vornado unit, and can't see any need for the larger one given this unit's performance. On the high setting the noise level is substantial, but this is only used to quickly ventilate the area before reducing the speed. Medium is much quieter and low is nearly silent. The remote is nice looking, fits well in the hand, and the signal is strong enough to reach the receiver at approximately 20'. The Vornado tower circulator is a solid design that really works well.

Update 7/7/2011 Still loving this fan, will be purchasing another soon.

Update 8/26/11 Still waiting for my other (old) fans to die to justify ordering more of these Vornado towers. Ours is still working great and is in use 10-12 hours daily.

-I was a bit nervous on the purchase of this fan when reading how some people said it makes a noise "that sounds like ball bearings going out" ... I will admit I was a bit sold simply on the looks. Ehh, I'm a visual man. Anyhow, upon receipt of the package, I put it together and quickly noticed this noise. Saddened initially, but without losing hope I pushed on it, shook it a little, then found myself a screw driver. Yes. Tightened every screw I could find on it. (about 6-8) and it hasn't made the noise again. I would say each screw was maybe a quarter to a half a turn loose. I think this is what was wrong with the other fans people complained about.

-Secondly, some said the lowest setting was hardly useful..well my friend I tell you this; I can stand on the other side of the room probably 20ft and the breeze is very apparent..oh well. Some people are very hard to please. The highest setting is comparable to your typical oscillating fan on high as far as noise, but I feel like this move more air. And the middle setting is what you would expect.. somewhere between silent and loud.

-And I think the remote is useless. Get up and turn it to the setting you want, probably burn a calorie or two doing so. :)

Great purchase and I would buy it again!

After a week or so of owning this thing I had to return it. The aesthetic is nice, but thats about it. The fan has 3 speeds: Jet engine, Turbo, and Aquarium pump. Let me explain. The highest speed is ridiculously loud and I can't imagine being suitable for any application other than a garage or workshop. The medium setting isn't too bad and pushes a decent amount of air, but still rather noisy for a normal quiet environment. Then the lowest speed is a joke. Rather than hearing air noise, you hear the drone/hum of a seemingly underpowered electric motor. And it kind of buzzes too on the lowest setting. It hardly pushes any air at all either so I don't know why that was even a consideration as a speed. So on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the fastest, I'd say the three speeds you get here are a 10, 7, and 1. There just isn't any balance.

I ended up purchasing the Honeywell QuietSet HY-108. I LOVE this thing. It has 8 speeds so you can get it just right. And they are all very quiet too, except for the air noise that you would expect on the higher settings. And it oscillates, which I like even better than Vornado's concept of a stationary fan with air shooting out in all directions.

Well, I just wrote a review of a fan. Now its time to go evaluate where I am at with my life.

I was hesitant to buy this product after reading so many reviews about the humming sound on the lowest setting. Then I saw one that suggested tightening the screws. So I bought it, and as it turned out mine made a pretty annoying humming sound on the lowest setting (the hum was louder than the fan noise). I was disappointed. Then I pressed down gently on the unit with my hands, and the sound disappeared. So I determined that the hum sound had to do with external factors, probably vibrations caused by all the screws not being tight enough (like the other reviewer said). So I got my screwdriver, tightened all the screw, and BAM hum sound gone. It is basically silent on the lowest setting now, and works perfectly.

This is a replacement for my old Cuisinart coffee maker which I had for about six years or so (the predecessor to this model). I loved my old one even with some of the little quirks it had. It beat out any Braun or Krupp pot which I had ever owned. This new updated model is a winner. All of the small annoyances have been solved, such as the small fill tank opening, the dripping cover that leaked back into the fill tank, and finally, thank you Cuisinart people, a water level guide on the outside of the unit. The front knobs on the front are now also easier to see and use. As my other Cuisinart did, it brews superior coffee and quickly. I find it takes about one minute per cup... 12 minutes for twelve cups, not bad at all. Yes, the unit does make some clicking and popping noises when it is new, so did my old one. But that goes away in time as the unit gets "broken in". I do not think you can find a better coffee maker on the market.

Who in the world would have a coffee pot as a best friend? When you make and drink 5 to 7 pots of coffee a day you need a best friend. You need a friend who is there for you anytime you need one and that friend has to be consistent; i.e., one good pot after another. The DCC-2600 is my new best friend. In a short time it has performed better than its older cousin, the DCC-1200. The DCC-122 is still right up there with the DCC-2600; however, I wanted a 14 cupper and it is perfect.

The coffee tastes the same: great. It still takes about one minute per cup. That is perhaps a tad too much time but I don't care. I can always do something else while it is brewing. After all, a super cup of coffee is worth waiting a few minutes. I can always set the timer and have it ready when I awaken. The setting process is still simple enough for me to do. I really like being able to see the plain water display on the outside instead of having to strain and look over the top of the pot. That's a nice enhancement just as it the anti-drip change Cuisinart made.

I'm not an interior designer; however, I like the changes made to the outside appearances of this pot compared to the DCC-1200. I just looks better to me. The included gold filter is a nice touch and its inclusion should be a constant; however, I still prefer the cheap, paper filters. Paper filters are easier to clean up from than the gold filter. That is the only reason for my statement.

Best friends do not let you down and this pot pumps coffee without one retort. It works well and performs the job with vigor.

This top-of-the-line residential heater turned my backyard into a cozy oasis! When mounted 8 ft above the ground as required by code, it covers an area of about 10 ft x 10 ft. It mainly warms the skin when it is directly exposed. Do not expect it to warm the air as much as a gas-powered heater does. The infrared heat emitted by this heater mainly warms surfaces rather than the air without the smell of gas and without the hassle of failing igniters. The heat comes on at the flick of a switch. Be aware that at 6,000 Watts it is quite power-hungry, but if you have solar panels on the roof it may still be economical. The convenience of instant heat is priceless!
