I got it in my head that I needed a pair of these for an outdoor party. I had seen a similar heater at a local restaurant, but that brand was 1600.00 per copy. I shopped the local patio and hardware stores and found, for 680.00 ea., units similar to these with the difference being that they came with wheels and a cover. I figured for the price I could do without and ordered two of these, plus I wanted them in black, which was not an option elsewhere.

Amazon covered the shipping on these beasts, and they took only a week to get across the country. The boxes were both really beat upthe ups guy apologized and asked if i wanted to refuse shipment. Knowing there was a big glass tube inside I was taking a chance, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the packing jobeverything was fine inside. Assembly was straightforward and a screwdriver was included. All of the screws are identical so there can be no confusion therenice!

The heaters perform as expected. After assembly it took about thirty seconds to get the propane up to the pilot ignitor and after that the standing pilot worked fine. They put out a nice warm light and the grills wont get hot enough to burn curious fingers so you don't have to worry about your kids being burned.

These are NOT killer heaters like the big umbrella models so don't expect to run them at low settings and stay warm. Figure a twelve foot diameter footprint of moderate warmth.

They are beautiful when lit or not and easily moved after removing the propane tank.

Update-

I saw similar units at Costco today for 199.00. The build quality isn't nearly a good as these. The uprights are in three sections instead of two and the fit of the parts is sloppy. The finish on the panels and grills is also noticeably poorer. Weird chimney at top too.

Bought one of these at the local Orchard Supply Hardware store. Assembly was very easy.

We lit it and it looked fabulous. The problem is, it didn't do a very good job as a HEATER. If you stand really close to it you can feel it. We ran it on the highest setting for 30 minutes and it never got much better. Too bad, because I really liked the look of the thing. Perhaps if they put some baffles inside the tube to slow down the heat just shooting up and out the stack, it would work better.

Wait a bit and see it they improve it.

We got this heater thinking it would be a pretty to look at heater. It is pretty to look at, and works as promised. I put it together myself in a couple of hours, and the instructions were good. But its pretty design keeps it from providing a feeling of heat farther than 1 foot from the unit, with most of the heat going out the top.

We also just couldn't shake the feeling of waste as we watched the propane burning off as it rose up the center glass tube, reminding us of oil refinery flares. We sent it back.

Directions aren't very detailed but it isn't too difficult to figure out. Make sure to have the base portion pointing the right direction at the very beginning or you will be disappointed when you try to fit the front cover at the end. I am sitting less than a foot away from the heater with it on full blast and I can barely feel it.

i use big portable to clean rugs and bought this as a replacement when i just had to do stairs. the built in wheels and riser handle is convenient. the hose length is long enough to reach the top stair and part of the hall with the unit on the first floor.

it sprays okay. My old unit which still works only has about 50 psi and it comes with a nice stainless steel spray suck tool.

the bad. they put the power cord just above the wheels so it scrapes every time you roll it up the stairs so forget rolling up any stairs. I've got to tape the cord after 3 jobs. the stainless steel head is to small to do stairs so forget that. the heater gets the brass coupler so hot you simply cannot disconnect the unit. I put on a cool cuff quick connect. the little prongs to hold the power cord are too small so the cord falls off. they put in a monstrously large heater in here. 2000 watts? it blows circuits.

i feel what happened is some engineers build this without actually consulting a carpet cleaner. why whould they. we're only the ones who use these tools. had they actually field tested a beta unit for a week unit before putting in field they would have seen these mistakes and found out wow. that cord is really in the wrong place and i just burned the snot outta my hand we need a cool cuff on there. etc.

I brought it to my main vendor and tested it against their 50 psi machine. it sprayed better so i'm keeping it. the unit is okay but i most of the time don't run it with heat. they should have put a 1700 watt heater in there instead of a circuit buster. forget running anything else if you run this thing with the heater on. also. the switches are hard to read. how about a nice bright red flame to show heat? and a suck picture to show suction.

or better yet before you put out a new unit how about simply field testing it for a week then go back and fix all these little things and make a truly great machine instead of more of the same.

I'm going to get the bad out of the way first. There is only one problem I have with this machine and that's that all the brass fittings get extremely hot so I use gloves when I use it and prolonged use can melt the plastic on the machine that the disconnect is connected to. The heater is 1000 watts not 2000 as the other reviewer suggested.

I work for a movie theater chain and about 3 years ago or so our upholstery machine broke down completely and became so unreliable it wasn't worth fixing anymore. I set out to find another machine and I looked at about 2 dozen machines before deciding on this one. This machine is not built for prolonged use or for large areas which is fine because generally we do our daily sweeping, picking, trash, bathrooms and vacuuming and once that's finished we use the remaining shift (usually an hour or 2) to do detail.

Ok now the good. The same heater that makes the fitting extremely hot also really speeds up cleaning time. I can do double the work in the same amount of time as with our other portables. The heat immediately melts gummy bears, chocolate, caramel ect. No scraping needed. The pump at 100 PSI is awesome for penetrating fabric (later models have a 120 PSI pump). The vacuum picks up really well. I like the upholstery tool and 15' hoses that come with it. I also found that it works well on our stairs. They have recently added a carpet wand to their accessories for this machine. Transporting up and down stairs is gets a little hairy at 75 lbs but it makes up for it in what it can do. I have since added 2 more units to 2 of our other theaters and we love them

Our trusty, 18-year-old Zo was still going strong when the non-stick coating began to peel. When no replacement parts could be found, we faced the inevitable and began to look for a worthy successor. After much research, other brands seemed to have serious issues we hadn't had with our old workhorse, despite its age (it was a hard act to follow!). Plunking down mega-bucks for the Virtuoso took much soul-searching, especially after so many negative reviews of its predecessor, but we checked Amazon's price daily and took the plunge when it went on sale, since it could be returned if it was a dud.

Surprisingly, this machine actually has exceeded our expectations; even 100% whole wheat bread, which in the ancestor Zo could be iffy, is perfect. In both 2 lb. and 1.5 lb. loaves, the crust is just right not tough or hard; the top is golden and even; every loaf/cake, complex or simple, has been almost freakishly flawless (true, you are paying for those double paddles and top heater, but do they ever make a difference!). In true Zo form, it's simple to use, very quiet and stable, and finished goodies slip right out with minimal holes and cleanup. Paddles remain in the pan, not the bread, and separate easily after briefly soaking the cooled pan in warm water. A "Shape" stage can be used to remove the dough to specially form it or remove the paddles before baking (the splines will remain, but the resulting holes will be much smaller without the paddles), and raising the lid will stop the machine temporarily without interfering with the program. Like older models, the initial "Rest" period warms ingredients as needed before mixing so no need to bring them to room temp first, but a cool new feature is the ability to bypass this stage if you don't need it, which shortens the overall time considerably. The "Add" signal also beeps for a longer period so you have less chance of missing it, which is easy to do if you're not nearby since it isn't very loud. Although the DVD manual provided is unintentionally comical and prim, and mind-numbingly redundant, it does have some useful info not included in the written manual.

One consideration before buying would be your available space: since it bakes a horizontal loaf, this is a hefty machine with a footprint 18"w, 11"d, and with the lid raised, 20"h, plus space needed behind and at sides for vents. An extension cord will probably be needed unless parked directly in front of an outlet.

Although we've only begun to tap its many talents, after over a month of frequent use (2 3 times/wk. for whole-grain breads w/nuts/fruit/seeds, banana bread, cakes, and pizza dough so far, and hopefully noodles soon), we're delighted with our new Zo and recommend it without reservation; we also appreciate Amazon's free shipping and right-on-time arrival before Christmas.

Just an added note if you're new to bread makers (and to set straight some previous detractors' comments) for best results with any machine, take the time to measure ingredients by weight rather than volume and add them in the order recommended in your machine's manual, since order can vary by manufacturer and doesn't necessarily match that listed in cookbook recipes. And if you need more reasons to think Zo, check out the King Arthur Flour website blog where they used one to cook almost every dish last Thanksgiving (except the turkey)!

I LOVE my new Zojirushi VIRTUOSO Bread Maker! It has my 'GLUTEN FREE' setting and is so quiet I have to get up close to it to make sure its mixing or kneading! (I read posts on bread makers in general that said they are extremely loud! Not so with the Zojirushi!) I've had it less than 48 hours and have made 2 perfect loaves of bread! The texture, flavor, crust, etc. has been perfect, so perfect in fact that you can't tell its GLUTEN FREE! Zojirushi has definitely brought 'breads & pastries" BACK into this Gluten Free household! I heartily recommend the 'Virtuoso' model to everyone but especially those of us that must be GF! I am totally new to bread machines and reading all the 'How-To's' about programming bread machines that didn't have a GF Cycle really turned me off as too complicated, too much hassel, why bother. I knew I wouldn't fool with all that; or, get so exasperated that I wouldn't bother to use it if it didn't have a pre-programmed GF cycle. The first loaf of bread I made was out of a GF recipe book and it was Cinnamon, Raisin, Walnut bread. I followed the recipe to a 'T' placed the ingredients in the baking unit in the proper order as directed and out came the most beautifully smelling, tasting and formed bread I have had since I became GF! Next, I grabbed one of those pre-packaged bread mixes with all the stuff in the bag; mixed up the wet ingredients, slapped everything in the banking pan in the prescribed order and wondered if this would be as great as the first....OMG! It was! Now my husband has rushed out to get cheese and tomatoes so we can use it to make Grilled Cheese and Tomatoe sandwiches for dinner! Thank you Ziojirushi for

bringing breads back into my house! (My husband thanks you the most, because he doesn't have to be GF but has been forced into it since I banned any & all gluten from this house!) He has many, many GF bread recipes marked in several GF Bread Recipe books I have! I recommend this bread machine for the novice as well as the pro!

I have owned bread machines ever since about 1987 at a cost then of close to $600! Since then I have had just about every brand at one time or another. My favorites have been made by Panasonic and Zojirushi. In short you really do get what you pay for in quality and durability. This new "Zo" is heavy duty and makes a truly excellent and normal shaped loaf. I say normal as most make slightly odd shapes that are a little too wide or too tall. The added top heater solves the small flaw the previous Zo had and that was the top would have less color than the rest of the crust. I have had this machine about 2 weeks and have already made 10 loaves. All have come out perfectly including 100% whole wheat.

Our favorite is a rich egg bread also know as Challah and here is my personal recipe:

2 Beaten Eggs with water to equal 10 oz

or 10 oz water and 0.90 oz of powered whole eggs

14.85 oz BY WEIGHT bread flour (I highly suggest King Arthur!)

1.5 t Salt

2 T Sugar

1/3 stick of butter (2.66 T or just cut a stick in 3 parts)

1.5 t Yeast (buy it in bulk here or at Costco as grocery store prices are insane)

Optional: 2 drops of egg yellow food color (I suggest AmeriColor available here)

Set the machine to the quick or normal cycle, light crust, and hit start. DO NOT use the timer as eggs are perishable.

Enjoy :-)

UPDATE: 04-10-2012

The machine is still going strong and has now produced well over 100 loaves of delicious bread. The pan has held up nicely and shows virtually no wear. In short this is a winner.

Honest reviews on Zojirushi BB-PAC20 Home Bakery Virtuoso Breadmaker 120 Volts

We had the Cuisinart CBK-100 bread machine, which died after 2 years. The first loaf of bread we made was Honey White and it was out of this world. Tastes as good as fresh baked bread from a restaurant. Amazing DVD video and thorough instructions. Gives tips that are reinforced by reviewing both. Was suppose to save it for xmas for my wife, but the kids and I couldn't resist an early present to enjoy holiday fresh baked breads and scents every day. Thought about other Zojirushi models like the Supreme, but really liked the selling points on the added lid heater. Glad I upgraded as the crust was perfect!!! Fun to bake with children and they love the fruits of their labor. Look forward to trying all the recipes and then begin experimenting. Hands down, would never second guess this choice. Definitely professional quality after the first loaf. No need to warm up water, melt butter, etc so very USER FRIENDLY!!!

I am very satisfied with this breadmaker for my purposes. I mostly make the King Arthur Flour White Whole Wheat recipe (found on the King Arthur website and in the book The Bread Lovers Bread Machine Cookbook). I had the Zojirushi Supreme breadmaker, and while it was very nice I found it did not cook the top of some of the breads (especially potato bread or slightly moister breads). If I was off even a little with the ingredients it would sink. I have had excellent luck with this machine for the white whole wheat and potato breads that I like to make. I find for me I have to add 4 tablespoons extra of flour for the whole wheat but it turns out great. One other thing that I do is to look at the dough after the first long kneading. Sometimes it is substantially over to one side. I pull the dough over and even it out in the pan. I end up with a non-lopsided loaf when I do that. Even having to do this I really like this breadmaker. I really think that the extra element in the lid makes a big difference when baking. Also I do find this machine more quiet than the supreme. Other differences that I noticed were that the pan has handles and the blades are slightly thinner and tapered at the bottom (sometimes they are harder to get out of the pan after baking, but I have noticed that they have not once got stuck in my bread, so I like that better). The machine was a little taller than the supreme and the controls are easier to see and use.

As a Brit living in America I spent years boiling the water for my tea on the stove top, as none of the (very few) electric kettles available in the shops looked any good certainly not up to the standard of a typical British kettle that could be purchased for a fraction of the price back home. Finally I decided to look online and see if I could find a decent kettle there and, after doing extensive research, I settled on this Krups kettle as being the best model available in the US for a decent price. The best thing about it is that it has 1750 watts of power (more than any other kettle I found available in the US), which means that it compensates somewhat for the lower voltage in the US and actually boils almost as quickly as a British kettle. The minimum amount of water you're supposed to boil at one time is 2 cups, and this boils in just under two minutes. However, since I am usually just making just one cup of tea at a time, I often boil just one cup of water and this takes 1 min 8 secs and doesn't seem to harm the kettle, as the base is fully covered by the water. I also save loads of time when cooking pasta now by boiling the water in the kettle first before pouring it into the pot and adding the pasta. This is also much more energy efficient. I have owned the kettle for about three months and have used it daily, and it has not caused me any problems at all. I would highly recommend this item especially for all you tea drinkers out there fed up with more antiquated methods of boiling water!

This kettle never worked correctly from the start. I had to repeatedly press the "on" button to get it to bring water to a boil, as it would shut off prematurely. When I finally got tired of dealing with that, I sent it into Krups authorized repair. When I got it back, it was no better than when I sent it in. They did nothing to repair it.

After complaining to Krups itself, I received an email promising to replace the kettle. I sent the broken kettle in to Krups, as per their instructions. After waiting many weeks, it never arrived. I again complained to Krups, and this time actually got a phone call from a representative who said the kettle would be mailed out "soon". That was months ago, and it never arrived. I've written off this kettle and Krups, for that matter. My only regret is that Amazon's rating system doesn't allow "zero" stars. This doesn't even rate a "1".

I for one will never buy another Krups product. They apparently don't stand behind their products with anything but empty promises. Lousy kettle, lousy company.

I had the same issue as the person who bought it for their grandmother. I called Krups, and they gave me the number of a local repair place. I called them and the repair guy told me to turn the on off button on and off like 6 times and try again.

This time it worked perfectly.

He said there is a thermestat in there that sometimes gets stuck in shipping, and I should contact them again if any other issues pop up.

edit: the problum popped up again, we tried to unstick it but found we kept having to do it over and over. Contacted the Krups repair and they sent us a replacement item for FREE. The replacement one works perfectly and has now for over a year.

Honest reviews on KRUPS Cordless Electric Kettle

The kettle's appearance is nice. It has high power and boils fast. Due to design of the lid the water is tightly covered so there is less evaporation.

Here are the problems.

1) The stainless floor becomes spotted and uneven really fast (faster than with my previous Braun kettle).

2) On my first unit power switch was malfunctioning. It took me 2-3-4 attempts before I could start it. I replaced the kettle with a new one and had the very same problems.

The bottom line.

If you decide to buy, don't do it online. Buy at some place where you can easily replace the kettle if the first (second, third etc.) one is defective.

I decided to return this kettle and buy Braun for the same price.

Update 08/08/2008

After half a year I decided to give it another try and bought a new black Krups Kettle from Bad Bath And Beyond again. I hoped that they produced a new batch with the known defect fixed. Nothing has improved. The third kettle is also defective in exactly the same way power switch doesn't work properly and turns the kettle off several seconds after turning on.

An Electric Kettle is the only way to boil water. Stovetops (electric or gas) take much longer, create more heat, waste energy and require monitoring. The Krups FLF2-JI is by far the best product available and well worth the extra cost. There is no "coil." The solid but lighweight "pitcher" sits on a stand and is removed when the water is ready. There is no heat emanating from the pitcher surface. Simply pressing a button starts the water boiling. A green light goes on and then automatically shuts off with a "click" when the water has boiled. The design and balance could not be more ergonomic and user friendly. It is aesthetic and wlll enhance any kitchen.

I bought this from eBay for around $190. I have two other electric space heaters so comparison was an easy task. I bought it for our high ceiling bedroom which is about 300 sf. Ceramic heater was useless because hot air would rise up. Then I bought a Holmes Infrared Quartz Heater from Wal-Mart , this was a lot better than the ceramic heater but the fan was really noisy and there was no way to turn it off. Holmes Quartz Heater gives you SUN Like heat and the heat does not rise up like ceramic heaters. Anyways it was way too noisy, You can't have a restful sleep with that thing. Still I thought there was something right with the infrared heaters. Then I looked into Edenpure and other more expensive infrared heaters. They looked promising now that I was already sold on the idea of infrared heating but they were really expensive. Then I looked at eBay and found Dr Heater. Customer Feedback was pretty good so I decided to give it a shot. It arrived in 5 days and I first tried it in our living room which is about 700 sf when kitchen included. Dr Heater was OK, I was not too impressed but still felt it was doing something different. It did its magic when I moved it to our bedroom. In about 10 minutes our bedroom was already warm , and outside temp was 35-40 F. It was set on Auto but later that night I set it to LOW because it was getting really hot and yet thermostat kept showing 66F degrees and never shut off because I'd set it to 70. SO I am not sure if the thermostat was defective or what, it sure felt more than 66 F. Anyways when I set it at LOW it was REALLY comfortable and most importantly QUITE. That's the best thing about this heater, it is quite and you can place it in your bedroom. No other heater could heat our bedroom on LOW because of high ceilings. Dr Heater did it. Overall I give it 4 stars, I was going to give 5 but I still cannot figure out if the thermostat is good or not so there you have 4 and, it is an honest review not like the first review that is obviously written by one of the Dr Heater employees :)

I have an Iheater and the Dr. Heater and I like the Dr. Heater better. They are both good units but the Dr. Heater is smaller and easier to carry around from place to place if needed and the wheels underneath are spaced closer together thus easier to place on top of other units such as a speaker unit that is not in use or a large air purifier that I have thus not taking up any floor space if needed. It also blows heat out harder than the Iheater but in the end, I think they both kick out about the same amount of heat energy.

The Dr. Heater is made of real wood also, where the Iheater and allot of others on the market have plastic shells.

Keep in mind folks that these are just space heaters BUT they are more power efficient and do kick out a bit more heat than the other numerous space heaters that I have and I have quite a few unfortunately... I have found that they do heat very large areas by them selves but do take a while to bring it up to temperature but once there, they are pretty amazing for their portable size and the amount of wattage they use.

They are commonly used in combination with your main heat source so that the main heat source runs less, thus saving you money. The heat is a very comfortable heat and does not dry the air. It seems to disperse the heat much better than space heaters that dry the air. The heat seems to get around allot better but will still be warmer near the heat source of course.

I think if one looks at these as what they really are, in which is an efficient little space heater that kicks out a bit more heat with a more comfortable feel that disperses a bit better will be well happy with these new type heaters. If you look around you can get some killer deals on the Dr. Heater and think the price will come down in years ahead on this new technology as they become more predominant in the market place.

I like both of my heaters but I like the Dr. Heater better because it seems to blow better and whether it actually kicks out more actual heat in the end, I don't know but it makes me want to believe it does...LOL... And the bit smaller size allows me to put it in more spaces than the larger Iheater and the real wood is just a touch more American, not to mention it is well over a $100.00 cheaper thus leaving some money in your pocket to take momma out to dinner before you come home to a nicely efficient warmed house... My vote goes to Dr. Heater and if I get another it will be the same.

C. Ferrisi may not quite understand what PTC is. I looked it up. "Positive temperature co-efficient PTC heating elements are small ceramic stones with self temperature limiting characteristics. PTC stones have fast heating response times and plateau once the pre-defined reference temperature is reached." The infrared lights produce the heat. This type of heating is how you can heat a large area without creating a huge electric bill. Which is why we have a couple around the house so our furnace (which is electric) will not kick on as often. It saves electricity without having to run around the house in a parka! LOL

I ordered the portable Far Infrared Heater Model DR-968 on 2-22-10. I received the heater in a timely manner. I began using the heater the day it was received. The heater only worked two (2) days. My attempts to get a replacement were not answered until I sent an e-mail through Amazon.com. I then received an e-mail from the company stating a replacement was being shipped out that very day. Waited a week and still no replacement heater. Sent another e-mail only to be told my replacement heater had not been sent. There had been a mix-up and the paper work had gotten misplaced. However, my replacement heater would be sent out that day or latest the next. I just received my replacement heater (3-31-10). I check it and for now it is working. Hope this heater will not stop after a couple of days. It is my opinion, had it not been for one of my e-mails going thur Amazon.com I would still be waiting on a replacement heater.

but with no lid, the contents quickly cool off.

Best Deals for HotSmart Keep Hot Mug Patented

I have not obtained this item and this "review" is mostly addressed to Juan (inventor).

In reviewing the comments and descriptions about this mug, I am offering the suggestion that you have a separate mug/heat reservoir that allows the mug to be handled (and washed) independently of the heat reservoir and ideally where the base is designed to accommodate a variety of similar diameter mugs. This way those with a preference for larger mugs can use at least TALLER mugs vs having (as another option offered to consumers) different reservoir bases & diameters that one can order to best suit their own mugs/needs. This also provides a certain degree of product acceptance if one knows that if something happens to the mug (and people certainly can drop these things or otherwise cause damage to the mug) then all they have to do is replace the mug. In theory, the base and its performance should last indefinitely. In addition, this would take care of any concerns one might have regarding water damage to the base since the base is easily left out of the cleaning regimen when the mug is cleaned.

Again, this is just a suggestion based on what I've read and my own "take" on how I would re-design the product if it was my idea. You may, of course, take it or leave it. I have also read the description and comments for the plate you have designed and marketed, and I would also suggest a similar re-design of that item along the same lines as for the mug.

I have been struggling to find a solution to keeping my coffee hot in the cup without having to mess with hotplates and other prior solutions (which never worked very well because of the insulating properties of the cup) and have found the solution with the HotSmart Mug,which works exactly as well designed, PROVIDED that one follow the instructions and microwave the cup first in order to supply energy to the heat reservoir that is built in at the bottom of the cup. This energy is then available through passive transfer to the fluid in the cup (as it loses heat to the atmosphere). In regards to the constant problem of heat loss through the imperfect insulators that are coffee mugs, they have specifically addressed this by making the cup out of porcelain, which has better heat retention properties than ceramic alone, keeping the fluid significantly hotter than is possible with a standard ceramic cup alone. The fundamental physical laws that govern heat transfer in static situations (entropy), as well as dynamic situations (conservation of energy) are well utilized here, and these make perfect gifts!

The cup was heavy, the instructions were confussing. The bottom line is my coffee did not stay hot/warm but the outside bottom would remove the finish of a fine table is coaster not used. Not worth all the prep microwave process for the end result!

This electric fireplace/heater was great until it completely fell apart under its own heat. It lasted about 2 or 3 weeks and then I noticed something looked wrong. I opened the door to investigate and the back plate had fallen forward. When I opened the door, the door is connected to a side plate and the whole thing just came off. When I looked at what had happened, I realized that underneath the exterior which is made to look like metal there is this stuff that looks like recycled cardboard. The heat just broke it down. And it just tore loose. When I tried to turn it over to find the serial number which the seller had requested, the fake logs that were on the bottom fell out. The whole thing just seemed to disintegrate from its own heat. The seller was decent and gave a refund and they will make the effort themselves of dealing with the manufacturer who did not readily respond. I have been buying through Amazon for over a decade and have never had a bad experience before. I have never had to return anything before. This is a completely defective product. I would not have given it one star but that is the lowest rating allowable.

I initially bought a used Dimplex DS5629 on eBay. It was shipped in the original packaging via FedEx. When it arrived, a leg was broken and the mirror inside had exploded -glass everywhere including in my finger. The seller was kind enough to give a total refund. After that experience, I warily ordered another new unit from Ozbo on Amazon Marketplace. I chose the seller because of price and proximity figuring that the less far it had to go, the less chance for trauma. I received the item promptly, again via FedEx, and actually witnessed the driver take the item off the truck, slinging the box upside down over his shoulder and then almost sitting it down on its side in my garage. My heart sank even though there was no external damage to the box. When I took the item out of the box, I was relieved to see that it grossly looked fine except that the logset was slightly disloged. I set it up in the bedroom and repositioned the logset. It worked perfectly. Settling back in a chair to enjoy the show, I noticed that there was an asymetrical reflection off the mirror. So I opened the door and noted that the mirror, which is held in place by grooves in the sides of the cabinet, was partially dislodged. This was because one of the sides of the cabinet was slightly displaced outwards at its top. The fact that two screws that hold the sides to the front top metal bracket were never put in might have contributed. So I carefully relocated the mirror into its grooves and pushed the side of the cabinet back into place, securing it with the missing screws in the front and further beefing up cabinet integrity by adding angle brackets between the cabinet sides and top on the inside of the cabinet. So now everything is secure and looks as it should.

There is no beef with the cosmetics of this item. It looks great, the heater works well, and the flame effect is outstanding. However had the mirror been totally disloged, this unit would have also been toast. This manufacturer needs to beef up cabinet integrity and/or packing and needs to VERY prominently display "Fragile" and "This Side Up" on the outside of the box so that FedEx won't sling it around like a sack of potatoes.

This heater is such a great addition to our cabin. It fits so nicely in the corner and we don't have to worry about any particular dementions from the wall. The front viewing are is large enough so you can view the ambience of the flames without having any extra grids to look past. It has a nice sheek look and is so easy to use. Comes with a remote which is great for keeping kids away from the controls and for distance. Puts off a good amount of heat from the fan that is on the bottom. Would definately buy another and am very satisfied with this purchase.

Cheap Intercity Furnace Flue Exhaust Venter Blower - 1014433, 1014529

Customer Ratings:

I bought this motor as a replacement for my old one that had started whining whenever it ran. After some internet research I found that this is due to some interior ball bearings going bad (unfortunately you can't repair these). The new one came in just three days and I got it installed in less than 10 minutes. Connect the two wires, a vacuum tube, attach the provided washer, and then just use the four screws that come with it and you are all set.

I actually bought this replacement in the spring but didn't get it installed until a couple of days ago. Old induction motor was squealing and wouldn't make it much longer. I ordered this one considerably cheaper than anywhere else I looked. The squealer managed to make it until it was warm enough that I didn't need the furnace. I installed the new one the other day, less than an hour. I figure if I would have had to call someone to do it, it would have been around a $400.00 to $500.00 dollar bill. If you can use a screwdriver, you can change this yourself fairly easily and save big money. Sounds like new again.

just like other reviews said, this was easy to install. The guy who installed my furnace said that he couldn't sell me one as cheap as this. Just be careful not to let the screws get away from you. One did on me, luckily I had a magnet on an articulating handle so I could fish around under the burner and retrieve it. Nice to not have that nigh pitched whine anymore, it was a form of torture!

Heat Surge Fireplace with Amish Made Mantle Oak Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I bought two of these and spent almost $700 and I am VERY DISSAPOINTED with their performance. You can't even feel the heat unless you are about a foot away from the unit. I live in California where it doesn't really get that cold in the winter but I was interested in saving money on my heating bill and this thing won't even heat my bedroom. The mantle is oak plywood, not solid oak as advertised. The only good thing about them is that they look nice. The Amish are being used as a marketing tool to sell these fireplaces. All of the parts come from China and are assembled by Amish in Ohio, so don't expect good Amish craftsmanship because you won't get it with a Heat Surge Electric Fireplace.

I purchased this item to heat a small trailer. After reading all the hype the company provides I thought this would be a good alternative heat source. NOT SO. When I called the company to return the item you are put thru the hoops. Your on hold for hours at a time. Just trying to talk to someone to get the return shipping label issued. In the meantime the company takes their sweet time in issueing the UPS return. You have 30 days to return the item... or your stuck with it. This includes from the time it was sent to you from the warehouse, weekends & holidays. Then they have the nerve to charge you $50.00 for the return. This is a decorative item, not a single heat sourcesomething they don't bother to mention anywhere. It took them 24hrs to collect my money & 6wks to get my partial refund. If there had been a rating of -0 this would have rated it

It's shocking to me that people would pay $350 for a heater that puts out the exact same amount of heat as a $19.95 heater available at most major retail stores. If you read the specification, the heater in the HeatSurge fireplace is a 1,500 watt quartz ceramic heater.

And guess what? My local Target has a whole section full of 1,500 quartz ceramic heaters for less than...$30 each. In fact, I bought a 1,500 watt quartz ceramic heater at Target for $19.95, and it works great! The one I bought for $19.95 works so good I bought several more for my house, one for my Mom, one for my Dad, and two for my sister, all at $19.95 each! Actually, some were on sale after Christmas for $14.95 each, and others were two for $20! Nice. And warm.

Maybe the mantle is made by the Amish, but the heater is made in China and back lit by a couple of lightbulbs. I looked at one of these at my neighbors and saw a review by Consumer Reports that said you can get better heat from a $75-$80 heater; they recommended the DeLonghi. Don't get taken! The reviewer said this costs much more money to run than many simpler heaters.

Discount Dyson AM02 tower fan

I couldn't decide between the Dyson Pedestal fan and the Tower Fan, so I went ahead and bought both to compare. Yes we kept both as well.

The Tower fan is great for the Living Room or family room for it stays more compact (slim and low profile) and spreads the air less concentrated on one area.(high and low)There is no adjustments that can be made on this fan, meaning no tilting or bringing the unit up and down. What you see it what you get.

The Pedestal fan is great for our bedroom; we have a really high bed. At the highest point of the pedestal fan it's even to where we lay. Since the Fan is more like a standard oscillating fan, the air is more concentrated to one area, so at night we through it on medium to low and let it keep us cool at night. The pedestal fan can be adjusted to the height by simply pushing it down or pulling up on the actually circle part of the fan. (The frame tube extends or compresses very handy and fast to do) Also this fan has a tilt. (The circle head part can be aimed where you want it) This fan is a little bulkier needs more room then the tower fan. (Due to the adjustments and the diameter or the circle part when oscillating)

On both models the High setting does a lot of air, at a louder noise. We joke about it and say the jet is taking off, for the fan does lean back a little when we turn the knob up. Set up of both fans is quick and very easy

The remotes are very handy and awesome. To store the remote it's a magnet in the fan and in the remote, so just lay the remote on the fan and it sticks

Overall Great Fans, if you can get over the Price of a $450 fan, you will be happy with it. They do have a 2 year warranty with Dyson, so that is nice. Our fans always break after 1 summer; these fans have been going strong for 1 year now, still no problems.

Both fans have the same amount of air coming through them on high settings, so there no difference in power between the two models.

I do love Dyson I had one of their original vacs, and loved it so much when their ball vac came out I bought one and gave my other one to someone at work. The vac has been outstanding, and any others I've tried (including some freebies from Amazon Vine program) have just really stunk in comparison.

I liked this fan from an appearance standpoint since it was first announced, in the design stages. But the price was always just insane, so I passed.

I've gone through two or three various tower fans, and always had the same problem with them lack of air movement, noisy, and oscillation always was really clunky, jerky, and not effective. And they were mostly butt ugly tall rectangles. Garish lights on the front or LED displays.

Finally this went on sale and Dyson sent me an email. I checked a local brick and mortar and the sale was there as well, so for $150 less than the normal price, I thought I'd give it a shot. This brick and mortar has reward points you can bank up, so I had about 80 dollars worth of "bucks" so I got it even cheaper then. And since I get a 60 day return policy with no restocking fees for anything, I figured it was the perfect time to try it. It would not likely be cheaper for a while, and if it's not worth it, I can return it and be no worse off.

So I got it home. This was to replace a circular "turbo" fan that I've had for like 8 years now. That fan works great, moves air even on low speed, and isn't annoyingly loud until it's on high, and even then it's just a normal fan noise. But man, that thing gets air going, so much that loose papers around are slung everywhere. And that fan I keep right in front of an HVAC register on my floor in the great room, on the wall in "front" of my couch. That way when the AC is on, I get really good cool air breezes. But it's about 16 or so feet from where the couch sits, which is why the tower fans never worked that well there.

This was unboxed, and a quick assembly (but I took off all the little stickers when I unboxed it, and didn't realize until afterwards that those stickers tell you where each part lines up to be assembled but it's obvious anyway). Plugged it in (why, oh WHY do fan makers never make a FLAT flush to the wall plug so that it can be plugged in behind things like book cases and such without having to pull things away from the wall so much?) and fired it up. I was actually amazed at how much air it moved, even on low.

So I sat at my spot on my couch, and tested the oscillation and I have to say, this is without a doubt the best oscillation I've ever seen in a tower fan. Smooth, absolutely no noise from it whatsoever. Brilliantly done. Of course, I wasn't feeling any air movement. So I cranked it up, and started feeling a breeze. But I was surprised at how much noise it made. And yes, it's not a normal WHRRRRR fan noise because of the design, so it's a high pitched turbine kind of noise, MUCH more noticeable than a regular fan noise simply because it's different. Think weird sounding electric mixer. As the time passed it became less noticeable, especially as ambient noise in the room increased. I think it's really the difference of the expected sounds that makes it as noticeable as it is.

But still, not much air flow. Even on high, I wasn't feeling even as much as I'd feel with the old circular fan on low. I got up by it, felt around, and it's neat at least how it curves around the edges and shoots out. But that's when I noticed, it's not shooting STRAIGHT out. Both sides are blowing a vertical column of air that is somewhat pointed inward, so they intersect at like the 8 to 9 foot point. Which, of course, helps to interrupt each side's flow. At that closer mark, the airflow is much more obvious, and is then a viable fan alternative.

I moved it to the other side of my great room, next to the fireplace, so it's only about 10 feet away or so now, and it's actually kind of good there. Even on the nearly silent low setting, I can at least kind of feel airflow. They say there's no buffeting, and that's true, even on high you never feel that, but at all speeds you do notice that it's not as hard a wind blowing than it can be at other times.

As you turn it higher, it's very much like a gaming PC suddenly kicking in fans it's just about that exact sound until you get to the max settings where it's like a blender or mixer motor almost.

I'm still kind of up in the air about it, but I have 60 days to decide. I'm leaning towards keeping it now, since for the price I paid (230 less than the normal price) it may actually prove to be worth it. I don't like the circular fan I had, since that has a big base and is about 18 inches across. This takes up such a tiny amount of floor space, like 7 or 8 inches, since it's all in the vertical. Which was why I tried tower fans last summer in the first place. Aesthetically it's a win, no doubt. Nothing at all like it out there. I love the looks. The remote works very well, although I wish they hadn't made it so streamlined it's all flush, no bumps on the buttons (think the home keys, J and F, on a keyboard) to mark them, so in the dark you really have to fiddle to find what you want to press. But it works great, never a missed press that wasn't read right.

There appear to be 8 distinct levels with the remote.

So if you can use it from a place 10 feet or less from where you want the wind, it works very well. You won't get the insane hurricane force winds that you can get from other fans, but you'll get a good amount without using much space at all, and without making an otherwise attractive area of your house look a little worse from some floor fan. And I'll admit, my biggest problems with the lack of fan "presence" is in direct comparison to a floor model fan which is a totally unfair comparison, apples to oranges. It is definitely the best airflow from any tower I've tried (and returned).

Would I buy it at full retail? No, never. But for $230 less than retail, while it still stretches the price I was willing to pay for a floor fan, after having tried two or three others before, it really does seem to be a matter of getting what you paid for something. So less air flow than a full fan, but great mid and low air flow in a very, very attractive package. If it weren't for the price, I'd probably rate this thing 5 stars, but as long as it's so expensive, I can't give it more than 3.

Best Deals for Dyson AM02 tower fan

Well, I caved and bought this thing...

In short, it's not worth $300, let alone $50.

Basically, at the end of the day, after all of this talk about 'buffeting', this fan is an overpriced piece of junk.

Sure, it blows air. But it's louder than any fan I've ever owned, and priced about 10x any fan I've ever owned. There are no blades, but that just means there's a high pitched jet engine running all the time in the base unit, blowing into the top. It's not what you think it is...

Basically, this fan sounds like your computer before it's about to have a heart attack, but that's just on low-power...

NOT RECOMMENDED. It looks cool, but it doesn't COOL like a normal fan. I'll take 'buffeting' any day over 'high-pitched loud-as-hell intake fan.'

Very Poor air mover for a large room. You can only feel the air about 6 feet away, any further away you fell nothing. Very LOUD on higher speeds. Overall very disappointed.

This "fan" (Air Multiplier) is fantastic. Very pricy but well worth it. it moves the air around a large room at least twice as much and twice as far as an ordinary fan or even a tower squirrel-cage fan. Its noise level is virtually silent at the three lower settings. At the higher settings its noise is about the same as a regular fan but much less "buzzy." Finally, its bladlessness is a conversation starter.
