I would give this piece of junk 0 stars, but you have to give it one. It worked for about a month of light use, and then it stopped. I called customer service at the company (KAZ/HONEYWELL), and all they would do is allow ME to pay $10 to ship the piece of junk back to them! So now I've paid twice. DON'T BUY IT!!!

There is not enough air flow to keepp the heater cool. It gets hot enough to seriously burn a child or pet (or me).

I returned it.

I ordered this a month ago or so. It came in and I assembled it that day. I figured out how to assemble it fine... other reviewers of this product on other sites said they had a hard time assembling it, so I was pleased to get over that hurdle. I put a fresh tank of propane on it and fired it up. No issues. Seemed to work great. I test ran it for about 10 minutes to burn off the coatings that are part of the heating element, then shut it down.

On another occasion very shortly thereafter I fired it up to test it and see how effective it was at making my deck more comfortable. Overall, the product did as I thought it would. It is effective within a few feet at turning a colder evening into one that is pleasant.

This weekend I had people over and we wanted to fire it up. This wasn't a test, but rather an actual use of the product. Totally could not get it to work. Pilot will not stay lit, no matter what. When it does stay lit, it will puff out within minutes. I once got it to trigger the main burner, but then it went out. Totally frustrating. This thing is brand new!!

I used this for several months infrequently, and then found all of a sudden that it wouldn't stay lit. I did some troubleshooting and learned that it would stay lit if I held the flame from a propane fireplace starter under the thermocouple that is heated by the pilot light. I don't know if the problem is a failing thermocouple or a less than optimum heat pilot light flame; but whatever this shouldn't have happened with a heater that was still on it's first tank of gas !!!

I'll eventually find some time to contact Customer Service and see what needs to be replaced.

UPDATE: I found the time to repair this heater. I started with the assumption (thanks to the other reviewer) that the pilot light wasn't keeping the thermocouple hot enough. When I dis-assembled the pilot light assembly, I found crud in the air collection chamber. I cleaned out the crud (and just for the heck of it soaked the pilot light "bead" regulator in auto fuel injector cleaner), and now the heater works just like the day I bought it.

Because the heater is very well built and easy to disassemble and repair; I'm bumping my rating from 2 stars to 4.

My dad had me order this on a whim. We wanted an outdoor heater so we could sit outside at night and all enjoy a glass of wine. Has worked great so far! As far as I know there were not set up problems...seems to have gotten put together fine. We bought this one because where we live we have a lot of wind and this thing holds up. The wind has ripped the shingles of my roof off but this thing has stayed in place. Love it!

Overall, the Endless Summer 233000 Outdoor Heater is a well designed and manufactured product. Assembly instructions are very clear, and with basic tools, can be assembled in about an hour. The "commercial" rating of this heater is evident in the quality of material, and the manufacturing workmanship. Follow the directions for igniting the heater, particularly when installing a new tank of propane. The heater worked perfectly for the first tank of gas, giving off a very even, comfortable circle of heat of about 12 feet in diameter. When used at a medium setting, the 20lb. propane tank lasts about 8-10 hours. When a second tank of propane was installed, a frustrating problem occurred. The heater ignited O.K. but would shut off after about a minute. Suspecting a bad tank of gas, I changed it for another tank, but got the same result. After several hours of diagnosing the problem, I discovered that there is a thermocouple near the pilot light that is heated by part of the pilot light flame. If the thermocouple does not "sense" enough heat from the pilot flame, it will shut off the heater for safety. Sure enough, the pilot flame was burning yellow, not blue, and the yellow flame is not hot enough to keep the thermocouple energized. A simple cleaning of the pilot assembly cured the problem. Some bugs decided to make the small orifice where the pilot flame emits from their home. the debris left by the bugs was enough to affect the pilot flame quality to prevent the heater from functioning. Note: since my original post of this review. I have had the same problem at least two more times, including a complete blockage of the pilot by those nasty bugs! Once cleaned using fine wire and compressed air, the heater works perfectly. Plan on ordering a second unit this year (2011) and buying some bug spray too!

There's nothing nicer than a warm, dry, towel. And in the summer this heater keeps towels from getting musty so quickly. But, our electric bill went up $40 per month and we didn't know why....until we unplugged the towel warmer. Now we plug it in long enough to dry the towels, or to heat them while we shower. Then we turn it off again. Other than being an electricity hog, this is a great product, and we enjoy the feeling of being pampered and comforted with heated towels.

I've been using the Hyde Park Freestanding Towel Warmer and Drying Rack for about one month. It appears to be very well-built it is sturdy and does not tip easily. Towels don't get nearly as warm as they would in a clothes dryer (a clothes dryer uses far more energy). However, it dries them thoroughly, allowing them to absorb more water far more quickly. I put a timer (about $10 at Lowes) on the receptacle, keeping the rack energized only a few hours before and after normal towel use times. This should minimize the impact on the electricity bill.

I live in Southern California and I really appreciate this unit. My husband and I had an apartment in Paris that had a great towel warmer. It's hard to describe the European warmer, but it had more surface area. My complaint with the few units I've seen here in the United States is that they have rungs instead of a tile-like surface heating area, and therefore aren't as efficient and don't do as good a job of heating/drying. However, given that the European units don't seem to be available here, this unit works well enough. We use it to warm/dry our towels, dry swimsuits, etc. without having to start up the clothes dryer. It's also very nice to have a warmish towel when you step out of the shower.

This towel warmer heats up quickly. I find that if I lay the towel on it when I get into the shower, it's nice and toasty warm by the time I get out. If you have never had a warm towel waiting for you after a bath or showeryou don't know what you are missing!

This heater is an excellent choice for a small space. Because it has a fan, it would not be suitable for a TV area. And because it's not sold by Amazon, you'll have to pay shipping (but even with that, the heater is a bargain). Compared to an earlier Honeywell unit of the same size that we had, Pelonis does everything right (whereas Honeywell did everything wrong). The controls are on top (handy), the knobs are easy to dial, and the light goes out when you turn off the fan (the Honeywell's light stayed on if the unit was plugged in (huh?). Note: In the picture, the heater appears to be cream colored; it is actually white.

Best Deals for Pelonis NTK15 Safe-T-Furnace Ceramic Heater

I purchased this item from Wal-Mart in Oct of 2008 when it was on sale. I am here at Amazon.com to buy a more expensive model. Not this one. This heater has only one heating ceramic, and heats up a "coil" or "folded" wiring system then the fan blows the heat into the room. This model does not put out the heat that a 4 ceramic heater will put out. This model is more costly to run than the more costly, but more efficient, models. Do not drop this model. Do not put it in an area where it may get knocked over. It is low priced for a reason. Think "seasonal puchase" if you must have it.

If you can, get the more expensive models for hotter heating over a shorter period of time. All in all, Pelonis is still the brand to get. I have/had the original Pelonis Safe-T-Furnace (4 ceramic model) since 1989. Yes 1989. It has survived that long by taking care of it, and keeping it clean. I'm here to purchase a new model to replace it. The bulky wire out of the back of the old furnace finally "cracked" and lost connection to the heating elements. I had it 20 years. Sigh ....

I would suggest the more expensive model for long term use. The model shown here was lent to a neighbor and after a while her dog knocked it over and it stopped putting out heat. The fan works though. Now I need to find a job for the dog so he can pay me back ... Anyone need a yard dug up?

Didn't use it much until recently, too late to return. Has NO tip over switch as advertised and I have cats that occasionally take great joy in tipping things over, purchased this because of the switch. It does kick out the heat, and this one is not too noisy, it rotates fine, but now the cord it getting warm, not the plug into the wall but the cord which makes me nervous to leave it on at all if I'm not right there. Would not buy this one again. At work they have a older 3yr old model and it works great that's why I picked this brand.

This fireplace is the centerpiece to our living room (wish I could attach pictures)! We love the ambiance it creates and it does pump out some decent heat.

It shipped fast and arrived very well packaged. Assembly was easy but I had my brother in law helping (one person can do it). The mantel is hollow and very solid, nicely painted (no dings or scratches).

With the mantel assembled I was able to cut out the baseboard and push flush against the wall (caulked in the cracks on the side to make it look built in)...also with the mantel being hollow I was able to hide the cable box in the mantel and control using RF transmitter built into my TV.

Very happy with purchase and I feel $1,099 after price match was very reasonable considering the difference it brings to our living room.

Before you consider buying this item for 1299$ call customer service and ask for price match.

The following seller sells the same item for 1099$

http://www.amazon.com/Dimplex-North-America-Electric-Fireplace/dp/B0046FZTHO/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hg_2

I wanted to purchase this item on April 2013 from this seller: electric fireplace direct outlet, the price was 1099$ . I checked their original website, http://www.electricfireplacesdirect.com, they had the same item for 1299$. When I asked customer service for their price match, she claimed that the two pictures look different which is why she wasnt going to price match. She claimed the difference between the one in their website and the one they are selling on amazon was that the insert had metal vents at the top therefore it is an older insert version which is why it is cheaper. I asked the customer Cole who bought the fireplace who confirmed that the insert looks exactly like the picture in their website (no metal vents at the top) .http://www.electricfireplacesdirect.com/images/dimplex/ovation/large/SussexWhite500x500.jpg

Suddenly, after this comment, their price on amazon went from 1099$ to 1299$.

I am referencing the conversation between me and the customer Cole:

This Fireplace did not come with a remote control and the description said that it did. Unfortunately, that was a feature that I specifically wanted and I may have purchased another fireplace that I was considering that did have that feature instead of this one had I known this ahead of time. Other than that misrepresenation in the description, the fireplace does works great and comfortably heats our sun room which is a 13 X 16 room with a cathedral ceiling. We only used it to heat the room for holiday functions so far, but it has done the job quite nicely and everyone thought it looked very nice.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program So you've got a fireplace that you never use because you realize that more heat goes up the chimney than into the room, and you have to clean up afterward, and you have to carry wood through the house to the fireplace, etc. etc. Instead, why not take this electric fireplace, put it into the regular fireplace, close the flue, and turn on instant fake fire!?

First of all, the unit works. It has a single fan switch which must be turned on for heat to be generated. It has the fake fireplace appearance switch, which can be on without heat, or which can be turned off even if the heat and fan are on. Then there are two switches for heat one switch pulls half the power and generates less heat. Finally, you have a rheostat control for fake fire brightness and another rheostat which controls the thermostat cut-off. There is only a single cut-off, so even if you have both heat switches on, as the temperature rises in the room, both heaters will turn off simultaneously.

The whole unit is a perfect size to fit into a single-sided wall fireplace, with the heat generated at the base of the unit, unidirectional toward the side with the fake fire display.

The fireplace isn't quite as noisy as some other similar models, and you won't notice it if the stereo or TV is on, but it would be nice if it were still a bit more quiet. The cost of the unit is quite a bit steeper than that of a ceramic heater. Frankly, you're paying for the appearance more than for the heat. If all you want is an electric heat source, you can save money and not get the pretty fireplace lighting.

Oh...make sure you've got an AC outlet near your fireplace.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am rather pleased with this fireplace. It helps keep my living room warm while looking great. I can also have the ambiance of the "fire" without the heat.

I literally took this out of its box (which is inside a brown shipping box) and plugged it in, and it was ready to go! No assembly required!

love it!

Honest reviews on Frigidaire CMSF-10310 Cleveland Floor Standing Electric Fireplace

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I had low expectations for this unit. I've never really like the looks of fake fireplaces, and was doubtful this would produce enough heat to make a difference.

We have a very large, cold master bathroom. My wife detests using the shower until the room is heated. So I bought a small space heater to serve this purpose, but it's ugly, loud and it smells. So I jumped at the chance to try out this fireplace.

It's comes shipped in a double box, with the outer box being plain brown. So many large items are shipped from Amazon without a brown box for all the world to see what you've just had delivered. So it's nice that this is in a brown box.

It's a little heavy and cumbersome to take out of the box, but the unit itself isn't as heavy as you'd think. It's made from painted mdf board, made to look like cast iron. It doesn't quite pull it off, but it looks better than just regular plywood I suppose.

It has a flap on the top with 4 switches and 2 knobs. One is for the fan, one is for low heat, one is for high heat, and the other is for the light of the fire. One knob is to adjust the light of the fire, and the other is to adjust the heat. Note the fan MUST be on in order for the unit to produce heat.

We've tried all settings, and this thing heats up our bathroom very quickly! The first time you use it, there is a strange odor emitted. This is noted as normal according to the instruction manual, and goes away after the first time.

The unit is very quiet and produces quite a bit of heat. And it's very nice to stare at the fire while in the bath tub with a glass of wine.

Overall, we're very happy with this fireplace it definitely exceeded out expectations.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program With its two heat settings, & adjustable thermostat this is more than adequate to heat an average-sized room. The artificial flames (which can be used with or without the heater) add a nice ambiance as well.

There was no assembly required. It is surprisingly light compared to the size of the box it came in, so transporting it from room to room shouldn't be too much of an issue.

All in all, it's a great little heater that can throw a little mood lighting into rooms that were previously devoid of it. Recommended!

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I bought this heater to try to warm up an addition on our home. We've lived here 12 years, and every winter, we've frozen in the den. It's built on a crawl space, and new insulation, windows, and roof haven't helped. Needless to say, I've tried several heaters. Just got the Lasko this week, and it's the first one we've tried that heats the entire room. We're actually at 69 to 70 degrees. Also, it's quiet and the back of the unit stays very cool, so it can be placed right up against a wall. I am loving this heater!

Strengths:

Powerful heater, it warms up a room fairly quickly. The heated air can be directed horizontally or vertically with the vent control. This heater would be a good choice in cold climates.

Thermostat seems pretty good at keeping the room at a constant temperture.

Has auto (thermostat controlled), low, high heating modes. Only the low heating mode is quiet.

Cool to touch, can be placed against wall.

Remote control works well.

Weaknesses:

Unit is not as quiet as would be hoped. This may be an issue if you are watching TV or going to sleep with the heater on. In the low heat mode, the fan is fairly quiet, but then the heater will remain constantly on (the automatic mode that controls the heater using the thermostat uses both high and low heat modes). The remote control can help alleviate this problem.

Unit is LARGER than most alternatives (be sure to note dimensions). Not as easy to store in summer months.

Remote control "beep" from the unit is pretty loud.

Bought this one with remote and two of the same with no remote. This one heats a 300 sq ft kitchen and the other two heat a 550 sq ft living room. All rooms have 10 ft ceilings. We decided not to replace our central heat and use space heaters since it rarely gets below freezing here in SE TExas. These work great. We put in front of the large windowsthey can be put right up against a wall. Set the thermostat at about 68 and quickly takes the chill out of the air. I am very happy with these. I am going to buy one for every room in our house. Very cost effective heaters with the digital thermostat and auto feature. Buy.com has them for 79.99 with free shipping.
