The principal of a towel warmer is great..a toasty towel waiting for you when you step out of the shower. Unfortunately this really is only for assistance in drying the towel after you are finished. It does a fine job of that but it's not hot enough to really get the towel warm otherwise.

Living in a 1920's house has it's drawbacks. One of them being icy breezes when its below zero outside. I have modern central heat but why heat up the whole town? I did already have a sappy 1500w convection heater but all it did was warm one side of my ankle while drying out my eyes with it's noisy fan. So I shopped around for an infared heater. I choose this one because it a) oscillates, b) is silent, c) is 2 feet tall. I needed something that would go under my computer desk and keep my whole side warm, not just my ankles. I admit this does the job nicely. Crank it to 800w to heat up the surroundings (about a half hour) then turn it down to 400w for the rest of the night. I had it a few nights now with temps outside dipping into the low 30's.

Pros:

It's like an electric fireplace. Toasty!

It's cheap to buy and run.

It is totally silent.

It is tall, and with the oscillation going it will heat you from head to toe without burning you.

Cons:

It's lights on high are about as bright as a 60w bulb, and on low about a 40w bulb. Granted it is a more pleasant warm sunset color light but it is very bright. You could never use this openly in a room facing you. It has to go under a desk, or at least facing a wall. You literally can't look into it more than a few seconds without going blind. This is why I gave it 4 stars.

It's very light and fragile feeling. Don't know how many years of use it will survive. I think if it is knocked over a few times it will break. However I can't ding it for that until it actually does break. I just spilled a drink on it and it is still going lol.

Over all a good investment if you can place it in such a way as to not become blinded by it. :)

I bought this heater because it is energy efficient with two heating levels of 400 watts and 800 watts--significantly lower than most space heaters. I bought it to replace an older 1500 watt space heater that I used in my sunroom in December which significantly raised my monthly electric bill and I mean 4 times higher (I have gas heat). I am hoping my January electric bill will return to a much lower level with the use of this comfort zone flat panel halogen heater. I will need to wait until the bill arrives to see if this will be the case. There is no blower on this heater altho it does radiate heat to the immediate area. It does not heat up the entire room and this room is the size of a small bedroom but it does heat the space around me enough to use the sunroom for eating breakfast, lunch or reading. The unit shuts off if it is moved even slightly--a good safety feature. It does have two very bright heating elements which my pets do not like and therefore they keep their distance (a good thing). The casing does get warm to the touch but not overly hot. I only use this heater while I am in the room--approximately two hours a day. It may take longer time to heat up the entire area of a small room however I do not believe it was designed for whole room heating.

We have had Halogen heaters before and like the heat they put out. This one does a nice job, burt we have recently noticed that if it stays on for long periods of time there must be a overheat switch on it, because it will cut itself off. We wait a little bit of time, unplug it, then plug it back in, and it goes again just like normal. Overall we like it.

Honest reviews on Comfort Zone® Flat Panel Halogen Heater CZHTV9

I am a conservation analyst for a living and I bought this to save on heating costs. In my apartment I only have baseboard heat. The heat from this unit is instant and a soothing, fireplace type of warmth. After one month of using this heater to supplement my baseboard my electric bill dropped in half. I now recommend this product to my clients.

Last year I bought a small radiant heater for my bedroom, just something to keep my face warm and I really loved it. This year I wanted something bigger to keep me warm in the living room and it's perfect. It's heat is very nice, like having a moveable fireplace. It's also lights like a fireplace, that warm glow, without the flicker. So if you want this for a bedroom at night, you may want something different.

This heater has two settings, but the low is about the same heat as a hair dryer. The higher setting is, well, like two hair dryers. The switches are on the top left side so they are easy to get to and don't show much. The product description said it had a thermostat and a remote. It does not. I have used it in a 9 x 12 room as back up heat when I turn the house furnace down and I have been comfortable. But the thing about this heater is, it really is so cute you may be tempted to forgive it for it's heat output. You may even want to carry it from room to room, which is what I did. But it wasn't easy. It is pretty heavy for me. It is a flat black metal and a pretty old fashioned design, an arched wheat design, with very realistic flame and glowing coals (even when I replaced the 2 to watt candelabra bulbs with 15 watt bulbs to save electricity.) The weather was so dismal here lately in Colorado, I took it into the living room just to enjoy the fireplace and ended up dragging it in front of the couch and warming my feet with it.

It came in a badly damaged box with a broken leg, which I repaired with JB Weld instead of returning. UPS beat it up, but it did not have adequate packing to begin with. After getting a second electric stove of a different brand, I would say the Vernon was overpriced.

Post Script. I have been using this heater throughout the winter. I suspect it is quite the energy hog. It has tripped my breaker more than once. It would probably be more effective in a very small room, but it does take the chill off the above mentioned room.

I think it will make a very pretty end table with a plant on top of it.

The 3-D Electric Fireplace has been around a couple of years now, but the cost was still fairly high. Now, it has come down to just at $100. The 3-D flame has improved vastly over the earlier drum-light type to the point that it's hard to tell if it is real or not. I bought mine through Amazon.com, and was pleasantly surprised too, at the low shipping costs!

If there is a drawback, it would be that I will have to add my own stovepipe if I want authenticity, but that isn't a real big problem.

I am very, very happy with my purchase!

For many years, I have had a fireplace to add enjoyment to our ND snowy winters---1st, a wood burner, and then a gas fireplace. The woodstove was the real deal, along with messiness and work. The gas(with a remote) was the best---in my opinion--no fuss and yet a real fire. Recently, I moved into a small apartment, without any fireplace. I went looking for the feeling of cozy, a 'pretend' fire, and found it in my new Vernon Electric Stove. The 'logs' shine more than glow, but the dancing 'fire' met my expectations in an electric stove at this price--it gave me cute and cozy, exactly what I wanted. The weather has been too warm to review how it heats, but I turned on the fan and it does blow out heat, so I am sure it will give me the extra heat where I want it.

Honest reviews on Fire Sense Vernon Electric Fireplace Stove

my friend was going on and on about her new heater and I wondered how anyone could get that excited over an appliance. When I saw it I knew I must have one and as I live far out of the city I ordered on Amazon to be delivered. When the package came I heard some slight rattling in the box, and was very disappointed that it made a constant clicking clunking noise when operating. It worked well, put out great heat at lowest setting and was gorgeous. I remembered I had read reviews that another brand made noise so I specifically order this brand instead.( I took the noise to be just a normal part of the mechanism) I went back online and found a review ( of another similar brand)that referred to the same noise and the guy said he opened it up and the rotating rod was just off its mount. SO I bravely unscewed ( about a dozen screws)the back ( Firesense customer support was available),and it was a simple matter to put the rod back in its place and it works great with only the low fan sound. Im writing this for anyone who may have this experience and save them the trouble of sending it back or returning a great product unecessarily.

Very poor quality heater. Legs were made of plastic. Screw was stripped on one leg and could not be tightened. Would not buy this brand again. Returned the merchandise.

Bunn NHB Professional Home Brewer, Black Reviews

Bunn NHB Professional Home Brewer, Black
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I'm fond of some of the 'thicker' smokier coffees. Mocha Matari (while difficult to find) is among my favorites. Normal drip pots (including some expensive ones) don't provide the complexity of flavor I enjoy. (I suspect the water is too hot, the brewing cycle is too long, and the coffee is over-extracted.)

One of my daughters is a coffee fanatic. She brought me some Ethopian coffee that she insisted I just had to try. So I ground it up, brewed it with the Bunn, and tasted it. The coffee was great. But my daughter's comments were revealing. "This tastes so good at home, but so much better here. My birthday is coming up -I know what I want for a gift."

And that's basically what it comes down to. Even supermarket "100% Columbian" coffee tastes pretty good, better than it has any right to taste.

There are a couple of down-sides, though. It keeps the water hot all the time, and that means that the water evaporates over time. Get accustomed to brewing a pot a day, and if you brew two pots in a row, you'll get more water than you expect and the coffee will be thin. Go away for the weekend, and you'll have less water than you expected when you return. Also, the brewing does not over-extract the coffee compared to most other brewing machines, and that means that to get the strength of coffee you want, you'll probably want to use about 20% more coffee than what you're accustomed to. Also, the quick extraction seems to brew the coffee with less caffeine, so if coffee is something you use to get started after not enough sleep, and not something to savor, this may not be for you.

But what you get in return is something that doesn't just open your eyes, but that tastes better than you probably thought was possible. For my money, there is no second choice.

Also -stock up on the Bunn filter papers. They're deeper, and that's necessary to keep grounds from overflowing. The quick brew cycle means that there's more water in with the coffee than with typical coffee brewers, and standard filters can't contain all that water.

I've never reviewed an Amazon item before, but will give it a shot because this coffee-maker is so great.

I do a lot of research before buying any home products, including televisions, audio equipment, and even my toaster. I typically drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning, and 1-2 cups in the evening. I was looking for a coffee maker that recreated the coffee-house experience, as most home brewers do not taste as good as a fresh cup from an industrial brewer.

After much thought and reading lots of reviews, I decided to try the Bunn NHB despite complaints of weak flavor, cool coffee, and a higher price than most brewers given the relative paucity of features.

After about 5 months, I love it. My girlfriend loves it. We can't drink coffee from other home brewing machines now. We use Peet's Coffee Major Dickason blend primarily. It is true that you need more grounds for this machine. I use about 2/3 to 1 tablespoon of grounds per cup as labeled on the side of the decanter. Realize that it takes about 2 "cups" by this scale to fill a regular coffee mug. This machine brews quickly without over-extraction, so you trade grounds economy for flavor essentially.

As far as coffee heat, 200 degrees is hot enough for me, which the Bunn is preset to brew at. 12 degrees hotter and you have steam, right? The warming plate works well and cleans up easily, made of ceramic and not metal. Keep in mind that after more than 20 minutes on the plate, the coffee will start to taste bitter. So if you're the type to milk a pot for an hour or so, the stainless steel insulated one may be for you. Since I drink two mugs worth myself, the 3-4 tablespoon for 4 cup ratio is great for me. I wouldn't brew less than this at any given time, as the machine seems to have trouble brewing smaller volumes accurately. To reiterate another frequently addressed point, if you brew less than 2x per week, add more water than you anticipate to need, as evaporation of preheated water will occur. More than a week on vacation, and you should use the vacation mode switch discussed in other reviews.

A typical problem for some folks is overflow. I have not experienced this as long as I use the taller Bunn brand filters, using up to 8 tablespoons of grounds with the high-flow 3-minute brewing spray-head. The filters cost more than regular filters, but over a year this equals one frappacino, so I got over it.

An added perk is that you have an instant hot water source. I like to switch it up sometimes and have French press coffee. Of course you need a coarser grind for this, but you just pour the requisite amount of water in the top of this machine, and within a minute or two there's perfect temperature/volume water. I've even made a cup-o-noodles successfully, for you college folks living in a dorm who stay up all night.

One more reminder. There is no "on" or "make coffee" switch or button. When you slide open the top of the machine, you are committed. The instant you close the lid, hot water starts flowing. Never close the lid without both the filter holder and pot in place. By the way, clean-up is a breeze. I love the removable filter holder; just dump grounds plus filter in the trash without dripping on your kitchen floor. The whole thing cleans easily, and the black color doesn't show brown stains after long-time use.

Overall, a great machine if you want a great-tasting pot of coffee fast and you're willing to spend a little extra for it.

I never take the time to write reviews, but this Coffee Maker deserves it!

I have purchased every high-end coffe maker out there over the past few years, and every one had issues of one kind or another.

This product is fantastic! Simple, with no bells and whistles. Just a great tasting cup of coffee in lightning time.

And it looks like it should last years with no problem.

Honest reviews on Bunn NHB Professional Home Brewer, Black

Everything about this coffee maker should be excellent. It brews extraordinarily fast and it brews the most consistent cup of coffee I've ever had. All good, right?

Well, that's the problem with this coffee maker: is that it makes the exact same cup of coffee every time, just like the Bunn's I use in my restaurant background. So if you want a really strong cup of coffee, forget it. In fact regardless of how much you vary from your grind or amount, the coffee tastes exactly the same in 3 minutes. (which, frankly is amazing).

So this coffee maker is for a person who wants a medium, no-fuss cup of coffee. If you're looking for coffee with a lot of body and strength, I'd suggest another model.

PS. the 3 minute brew time is amazing.

I like this machine. It keeps the next pot of coffee water hot using a low power heater in the tank in waiting for you to start the next brew cycle. The coffee basket is so easy to access, the basket filters are easy to fill (unlike some cone or swivel baskets) and easy to empty. I just pour in the new water (I do 5 cups at a time), put the carafe in place and activate the warmer plate ... in less than 2 minutes the coffee is completely done. Bunn's customer service is excellent, I called for a restricter to slow down the coffee brewer so I can get a stronger result and it arrived within a few days no questions asked.

One more thing, this machine makes coffee well, that's it. It doesn't beep at you, it doesn't tell the time, it doesn't need a programming guide, it just makes coffee. That's all I want from my coffee maker!

This is the second one of these I purchased. The first one I purchased from K Mart. I am on my second season with it. I saw this one at this price and I just had to jump on. I have tried a bunch of these types of heaters and I think this one is, if not the best, one of the best. It is the best I have tried. One of my main gripes about all other heaters I have tried of this type is temperature control or should I say a lack of it. This heater comes on when it's supposed to and turns off when it's supposed to. The others I have tried go well past the temperature you set it for and once they do shut off they let the temperature fall way below where you set it for before they turn back on. Either it's too hot or too cold. This R2 keeps the room dead on within a degree or two of where you set it. That to me is why I bought this thing in the first place. I want comfort not misery. This unit is quiet, it is so quiet at times, you can hardly tell it's on. The others talk the talk about even temperature in a room. This R2 walks the walk. I average about 2 degrees difference between the floor and the ceiling. No other heater I have used of this type even comes close. This R2 pulls the cold air off the floor starting at about 2 inches and has a fan strong enough to blow the heated air about 8 feet across the floor before it rises. That's in slow speed. That translates into comfort. This heater has 3 real power settings. Most of the others I have tried don't. At first read you may think so but most only really have 2. This heater has 2 fan speeds. The others I have tried only have one. This heater may be a bit more pricey than others but if it's comfort you are after, this one is a keeper. If you didn't hear me the first time I will tell you again. I just ordered my second. This one has stood the test of time and lived up to my expectations or should I say just about all of my expectations. The one thing I wish all these heaters had is a "Power Loss Memory". Just say you were away or just plain sleeping and the power went off. When the power comes back on, these heaters stay off. You could come home or wake up to a cold house. It wouldn't take much, maybe a battery and some small circuit changes, not a big deal. That's it for me. You decide! I have!
