We have this heater in our bedroom so that we don't have to heat it during most of the day. It works just fine, but the fan is pretty loud at night and wakes up both my wife and I occasionally. We also have the larger version from the same manufacturer and it is more quiet. I wish I would have gotten another of the large-size instead of the smaller one.

I knew from researching that these little heaters were designed to supplement the existing heating source--not replace it-and that results would vary according to various factors. While most brands had similar features, I chose this one for its compact style and good looks. (it resembles an old-fashioned cabinet radio) Like everyone in cold winter areas, the ever-higher cost of fuel keeps one hand on the thermostat and the other on the wallet, and keeping costs down was the primary reason for trying this infrared heater. I wanted to use the heater where we spend the most time: in the living/family room where the T.V. is. My concern was that this first-floor room did not meet ideal criteria: it's part of an open floor plan, has a staircase for heat to escape, lots of windows, and the only independent electrical outlet would put the heater toward the furnace thermostat. My plan was to use the Lifesmart about 12 hours during the day hours (we are night workers) and see if we could feel adequately warm while burning less oil. Here's what I found:

The heater will keep the area a few degrees warmer than your furnace thermostat is set for. You're not going to get an 80 degree room when your thermostat is set on 62. Sunny winter days are the exception--the room's temperature will rise more on those days, and the Lifesmart will actually cycle off. When the room temperature feels comfortable, the low setting will maintain it. (great feature) While the heater is running, guess what's not kicking on as often: the furnace. (cha-ching) There is definitely a cozy feeling with this type of heat, in the room in which it's used. It helps to pay attention on a daily basis to various conditions so you can adjust accordingly from high to low setting, or to raise or lower the furnace thermostat, etc. We crunched a few (kilowatt hours) numbers, but I think we'd have to do that over a few seasons for any data to actually make sense. We used about as much oil as we did last year during the warmest winter on record--and this winter was far colder.

Yes, the second floor was cooler when operating the Lifesmart--no surprise there. Yes, the electric bill was higher, but only about 60 dollars a month in comparison to, say, an extra hundred gallons of oil saved. We chose to keep the thermostat low (64 and even 62) for the savings, but could've kept the temperatues even warmer without spending more than usual. In a smaller area, in rooms that could be closed off, in differenct situations than ours, the results would even be better. The Lifesmart looks good, is light and the filter easy to remove and maintain, and I am very pleased with the purchase.

The unit itself was delivered on time and works out of the box. I have other Infrared units and wanted this one for a closet and for that confined space it works very well. The write-up suggests the unit can heat upto 800 sq feet which I highly doubt and is only good as a suppliment to traditional heating. Its also a lot louder than my larger duraflame unit so if noise is a concern this may not be the best unit for you. Also don't buy the hype that it will save you 30%-40% on heating. Overall if you are looking to heat a small area and don't mind a moderately noisy blower this unit works great for the price.

I would like to warn anyone who wants to buy Dimplex Wall Heaters period, "don't". I bought 3. Two for my home and one for a friend's home. All three work and preform the exact same way, Terrible. You half to turn the thermostat all the way up to get it to come on when its cold. They then continually go off and on, off and on. On for about eight minutes each time. They don't stay on heating but about maybe five minutes, which does not heat the room at all. Like I said all 3 work just alike. Now one of them will not go off period unless I turn the knob all the way off. Because they keep going off and on continually for a short period of time the heater does not put enough heat out to warm the room. The heaters should since the room temperature before they go off so that when it gets warm, then cut off. But not so. Please do not buy Dimplex heaters thinking they will warm your house. Made only, I repeat only for indoor spaces, whether placed in a vestibule, entrance way, stairwell, kiosk, or other area subject to cold drafts and at that I can't see how they would work.

I am having to buy another brand called Q-Mark which is made to heat a 480 square foot room. I since then I have done a lot of research on wall heaters and found Q-Mark to be one of the top brands. Just cut my loses and move on. Like they say live and learn sometimes the hard and expensive way.

The heater was received in new condition. Installation was extremely simple. Works great. Nice feature to have the built-in thermostat. The only issue I have is the dial on the heater unit doesn't indicate temperature, so you have to guess where to set the dial for the proper temperature. Other than that, a great unit.

As always amazing Amazon delivered in two days.

This a lesson in a combination of home economics and home health. You will never go wrong with that combination to produce remarkably clean internal air in your living space.

Having heard through HVAC worker reviews that pleated filters will burn out your motor due to air flow restriction, I bought the useless fiberglass filters for years. Finally learned that only the 3M filter is guilty, I now buy these, a pleated filter that does not restrict air flow, yet is cheaper to buy than 3M. It is sad that 3M trades on its reputation instead of actually making the best product.

I got one of these for my master bedroom last month and I'm so in love with it that I already placed an order of the 400W heater from the same manufacturer for two of my other bedrooms too.

I was a little apprehensive in the beginning as there weren't much reviews for this product, but I decided to take a chance. And I'm very happy with the result.

1) Installation Very easy and quick to install

2) Power Consumption Very low, so saves a lot on your electricity bill

3) Noise Absolutely quiet, no hot air blowing out of the vent anymore

4) Design The product is very sleek and looks great anywhere in the house

5) Price Worth every penny. I've browsed some other similar products and this has the best price online.

6) Child/Pet Friendly Totally! The outer surface is perfectly insulated, so no heat flows on or around it.

Bottom line: Great product! Highly recommend this to anyone who likes to save on their heating bills and who like a noise-free "COZY" sleeping environment.

Best EdgeStar 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner & Heater Deals

Customer Ratings:

This is a general overview of the Edgestar 14000 BTU dual hose air conditioner.

Buying experience: Average

Product was slow to be delivered, approximately two weeks from the time I placed the order until I actually received the item. Buyer's need to keep in mind that this product is not sold by Amazon. It is some external site that sells via amazon. Most buyers will not face any complications but it is important to know that dealing with some little dotcom is very different than dealing with Amazon in terms of service, quality of product, and returns.

Design: Below average

Product itself is extremely bulky in girth and tall in profile. The "portable" tag is rather misleading. Yes, anything is portable but due to the weight and size of this unit, it is not very portable at all. While it looks very slim in the pictures, it has a large rear section where the dual hose is located. The control panel on the unit is also not very touch sensitive and the power button became non-responsive after a few uses.

Product use: Poor to Unacceptable

It is also very unlikely that this product is a 14000 BTU air conditioner. It cannot, I repeat, cannot cool a space larger than 500 sq feet. It has been used in a wide range of temperatures (72-95F) and completely fails to lower the room temperature by more than 5F. I would estimate that it can cool a space that that is at most 200 square feet. Also note that the unit is very prone to condensation and leaks. Puddles form around the unit on high humidity days. Be careful when using on hardwood floors. It is a disaster waiting to happen. Window kit also had a nice big crack around the hose connection area.

Manufacturer/Tech support: Below Average

As mentioned previously, when dealing with an external seller, it can range from annoyance to frustration. First tried the seller for help and as expected was referred to the manufacturer as "this unit should be covered by the warranty". Manufacturer was must have all of one employee working for them. Impossible to get a live person and even then it was the standard read from a script response.

In summary, this is a dismal product with even worse support. It would be best to avoid this brand and seller. I would not recommend this air conditioner even on a sweltering summer afternoon.

I bought this unit as a birthday present for my husband's new workshop. The square footage of his shop is well under what the unit is rated for, but it was worthless in real heat...we live in South Texas. We called Compact Appliance, who sold it to us with a 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee and they told us to call the manufacturer. They have ignored all subsequent requests for assistance. Manufacturer said its not designed to work where the ambient temperature is over 90 degrees. REALLY?? Why would you spend that kind of money to air condition an already cool place? I will never buy from Compact Appliance again and I will tell this story to anyone who will listen.

I bought one portable air conditioner and heater from Sonic value company for father's day gift.and i got damage item. and i confirm and recorded everything before i ordered this item that it is gonna be a new item and not any kind of damage. and the after i got this kind of item.So, i called them and explained everything.and every time they were giving excuses and not giving good customer service.and they were telling me to send pictures about damage, about label, more clear pictures,box pictures.and i did every time. then after they did n't do anything.

response, ,which was awfully rude. I will never shop with your company

in the future.

Secondly, If you feel like we are wasting your time then I will send

back the item as soon as possible. We will never do business in the

future and I will make sure that other customers are aware of the

service you guys are giving. And may be you should re-think about

feel like I am wasting MY time by going through all this with you, it

should be other way around. I will take this to consumer affairs. I

don't want to deal with the company who does not know the customer

value and respect.

Thirdly, talking about language, Obviously you guys don't speak

language that customers speaks.

So, Please don't buy anything from this company because this company does not know how to deal with customers and how to make customers happy.and if you need more head ache in your life then i will advice you to go with this company.

Don't buy this money pit!!! Big waste of $730 (original purchase plus repair costs!!!)

On the day after the one-year warranty ended, it stopped running. The manufacturer was rude & very difficult to work with and as a "favor" sent the replacement part at no charge. The part that failed had been redesigned because a tendency to fracture under heat stress. I opened up the back and realized that the job was way beyond my own diy skills. I shelled my own $130 for the repairman, who was very hard to find. He kindly informed me the secret is most AC techs are not qualified to work on mini-duct ac's, which is technically what this unit is.

One year later, the electronics have failed, and having moved to New England, there is NO-ONE who does mini-duct AC work. Still need an AC, though, to keep the creepy basement dried out and the mold at bay...

I read all the reviews and this seemed like the perfect heater/ac for my little office. Well it didn't even come close to cooling my office this summer and now that it is winter I was optimistic that it would at least heat my space...no such luck. In hindsight I should have bought a couple of little heaters and a good fan. I would have been $400 ahead and cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter....sigh.

I was looking for a simple space heater to use in my office and I can not begin to say how great this one is working for me!

This is only my first day using it, but so far it is running well, and heating up my office perfectly! One of the many things I like about this heater is that it is quiet. My coworker has one that I can hear all the way across the office :(

It also stays equally as quiet when you turn the fan up on max.

I ordered this space heater for my home office, which just isn't as warm as the rest of my apartment. I have to say that it does the job to take the edge off the chill, as long as I put it right next to me. It's also very quiet. Just the normal whirring sound any fan makes. However, there's no way that this little heater is capable of heating a space, unless it's a closet. If you're looking for something to heat a whole room, go with something bigger. Also, there's no safety feature that turns off the unit if it tips over.

With all that being said, I feel like I got what I paid for.

I bought this heater to warm up my bedroom (roughly 9' x 12') as it's getting cold out but my landlord refuses to turn on the heat. I'll try to give a descriptive review here.

The heater has three settings: fan, low, and high. The fan setting just provides circulation while the low and high settings provide heat. The heater also has a thermostat so you can set the amount of warmth you want to maintain the the room. The thermostat isn't *super* accurate, but you get the hang of it after a few uses. Nothing to complain about.

I usually keep the heater under my desk and turn it on on the low setting when I start doing homework in the evenings. This works out best for me because it delivers heat directly to my feet and legs (which feels amazing) while also warming up the room in general. On the low setting, it takes about 30-60 minutes to fully warm up the room and on the high setting it takes about half as long. This heater is not large enough or powerful enough to effectively heat up a larger space, like a living room or dining room. I think it is best suited for small to medium sized bedrooms and bathrooms.

The one downside is that it does not have an auto-off safety feature that turns the heater off when it is moved. So if you have small children or pets that might knock over a heater sitting on the ground, you might want to look into a different heater. However, if you're an adult and you're not stupid about how you operate electrical equipment, you'll be fine.

As far as noise level goes, I have no complaints. The fan does make some noise, but no more than expected/necessary. I would not describe it as "loud" and, once it's operating, you barely notice it.

All in all: if you want a personal heater that can heat up a small to medium sized room, buy this heater. It is well worth the under-20-dollar price tag. It's small, unobtrusive, and gets the job done.

Honest reviews on Impress 1500-watt Space Heater with a Quiet Fan and Adjustable

They say you get what you pay for. Owning better products means spending more money. I normally believe this as a general rule, but this Impress heater is an exception for sure. It costs less and works fantastic!

I bought it to replace a similar small heater, which had difficulty maintaining a stable and steady temperature in my carport area utility room. With my previous heater, I would turn up the thermostat if it got colder outside around 40 degrees. However, a couple of days later when we had warmer temps of around 65, I decided to check on that heater. I discovered the heater was STILL RUNNING as if it didn't know any better. The room temperature had reached 82 degrees!

With that problem noted, my point is ... this Impress heater works perfectly and maintains an even temperature AND actually adapts to changes in surrounding temperatures unlike the piece of crap it replaced. :)

So although skeptical at first, I would now recommend this heater to anyone. By the way, it's very quite too.

Happy Holidays,

Jeff

Comfort Zone® Oscillating Parabolic Dish Radiant Heater CZ998 Reviews

Customer Ratings:

We had an inexpensive Omni heater with two heating bulbs, but one of them burned out. First I replaced the Omni with a fan forced ceramic heater that proved unsatisfactory. On the same day I returned the one and bought this model; they may have passed each other on the road.

The Comfort Zone Dish is not nearly as large as the Amazon listed dimensions led me to believe. Measuring the back of the heater, I came up with a generous 15 inch diameter. Its heating source appears to be a ceramic cone with coiled wire wrapped around the outside of the cone. As the wire heats and glows, heat is produced and reflected from the concave parabola behind it. Only a little more than half of the wire coils glow. The unit has no fan.

A radiant heater warms the object or person who is the target of the radiated heat; it's not the heater to buy if you want something to warm an entire room. Mrs. Spudman occasionally smokes on the unheated porch and when she does she wants to pack some direct heat on herself.

She is pleased with the heater; it heats fast with an intense, penetrating heat. Often she'll use the oscillation feature because a steady heat can become too hot. I narrowed my heater search to this heater and one with two vertical, halogen tubes;it also oscillates but doesn't tilt. She wanted a heater that could tilt up and down, so we chose this heater.

The plastic body on the Comfort Zone heater isn't the sturdiest, only only time will tell us about its longevity. Its controls are simple and easy to adjust. If I had to do it over again, I might go with a model with the two halogen lamps that are said to simulate the sun's spectrum. Among makers of the halogen lamp models are Comfort Zone and Soleus.

NOTE When I searched for heaters in mid February I found slim pickings in Home Depot and four models in the local Ace. Amazon has a fabulous selection and with Prime the heater was delivered the next day after the order was placed.

And another NOTE The Comfort Zone radiant heater is a product of China.

RugbuddyTM 165w Under Rug Space Heater, 3' X 5' Review

Customer Ratings:

Bought the rugbuddy to warm the oriental carpet in my attic office. We have a 100 year old house with cold wood floors, and thought this would be just the trick.

After getting the rugbuddy set up under my carpet and turning it on, I was surprised how long it took to warm the carpet and floors at least 4 hours. But this is probably a function of how much cold floor it has to warm. After leaving it on for a full day, my workspace was warm and toasty, and even my shoes would get warm while I work. I guess that's pretty good for 165 watts of heating.

I would love it if Rugbuddy sold a carpet pad to go under the heating pad, ideally with foil facing this would definitely help it to warm faster and send more heat upward.

All in all, a very good purchase.

Hi, the small living room in my basement apartment gets cold because it lacks the house water radiators found in my other rooms. I hoped putting a 3'x5' RugBuddy (RB) under a rug, added to my current 1500W Lasko silent electric heater, would be enough to keep the 14'x11' room warm. Short version: it'll heat the rug, but won't raise the room temp, even in a small room. A standard portable oil-filled radiator will do more to heat a room.

Long version: Once I had the funds -this thing ain't cheap -I bought this size RugBuddy, and the recommended KlimaGrip rug pad and PlugBuddy thermostat directly from Speedheat. Once received on a warmish winter day, I laid the thing out and plugged it in. An hour later, I could feel slight heat if I pressed my hand down on the RB. About the same heat as an electric blanket on its very lowest setting, much less heat than a heated car seat. At about an inch above, barely any heat could be felt. I figured it was defective and called the company's support line. After I briefly explained the problem, customer support guy asked if I could feel any heat at all. Yes, I answered, but not much. Then he began to tell me how I needed to understand that this product only uses 165W so it won't be as powerful as other heaters. The spiel was delivered as if he said it dozens of times a day to similarly disappointed customers. I figured at that point, this product was a dud. Customer support guy said that the RB works better if actually placed under a rug and above the rug pad. Okay, I'll try it. But it made no real difference. Before I returned it, I wanted to measure the temperature using the thermometer on the PlugBuddy thermostat (which by the way, is a not-repackaged LuxPro PSP300, LuxPro PSP300 Programmable Digital Thermostat currently for sale on Amazon for half the price). I took a temperature reading of the rug, then I installed the pad and RugBuddy and put the rug on top, then waited 2.5 hours, then took more temp readings. Since I couldn't find any independent reviews with details or temp figures before buying, I've decided to write this review to help others.

The results:

-Starting temp of rug & rest of room: 65 degrees

-Temp if thermometer placed on rug with RB and pad, after 2.5 hours: 78 degrees

-Temp if thermometer placed six inches above rug with RB and pad, after 2.5 hours: 67 degrees

-Temp in room, on table a few feet away: 65 degrees

So the rug itself was 13 degrees warmer, but six inches right above it was only 2 degrees warmer. For 200 bucks, I expected more than two degrees half a foot above the rug. I wouldn't be disappointed if this thing were advertised for just warming a rug, which it does. But the advertising and labeling implies it'll actually help heat a room (e.g. "Save energy by only heating the rooms you are using"; "Space heater" labeling.) It's not a space heater, it's a rug warmer. If you lie on the floor a lot for some reason, it might be worth it. But if you're hoping to help heat a small room, even just raising the room temp a few degrees, don't waste your time and money on this. It won't help. I doubt bigger RBs would make any difference either in terms of a room's temp.

The company did accept a return and gave me a refund without any trouble though. By the way, the Lasko 5620-series heater, Lasko Products 5620 Space Heater Electric Portable Beautiful High Quality Excellent Performance, works really well. It just isn't powerful enough to heat the room fully on its own.

Best Deals for RugbuddyTM 165w Under Rug Space Heater, 3' X 5'

I had a rug pad already, so I separated the rug (It's a thick carpet rug) and placed the rugbuddy in between the pad and the rug. The instruction says to lay on it for more than 5 min, so I did. I started feeling the warmth of the filament within a few minutes, but not enough to generate heat into the rug. But probably 15min or so later, the rug was nice and toasty...my cats started gathering on it and I was too! I love that it's safe and totally silent(obviously). Now I can be away and still leave plenty of warm spots for my kitties. Money well spent!

Honest reviews on RugbuddyTM 165w Under Rug Space Heater, 3' X 5'

SpeedHeat Rugbuddy 370 Under Rug Space Heater, 5' X 7'I first saw/heard of rug heaters being used in the very small rooms in Japan. We bought our first one because of a huge increase in our electric bill after a garage conversion to office space where an electric heater was installed. The cement slab seems to hold the heat when using the rug buddy and work well under our old wool area rugs. The room has good insulation and double paned windows. During the spring and fall we have been only using one (5'x7')of the two rug heaters and the space has been comfortable (temperate climate of 35-45 night temps and 50-70 daytime temps). The space is 10x15 feet with standard 8 foot ceilings.

We liked the effect of using the rug heaters in the office so got a rug heater for our living room. Our living room is approximately the same size as the office space with wood floors. The 2x7 1/2' heater in the living room takes the chill off the living room this fall. We have the timers set to turn the heaters on an hour and half before we get home from work or up in the morning. So far we haven't felt the need to turn on our furnace. As a supplemental heat source the rug heaters are working well for us.

Although an investment, if the rugheaters help lower our fuel oil usage by only one tank the rug heaters will have paid for themselves and put some cash in our pockets. For our old small house the floor heaters are great.

I have a heated floor in my bathroom. We also have a small unheated fully enclosed sun porch. The porch is attached to the house on two walls, has an 8' ceiling and consists of a ceramic tile floor and 6 double pane e-glass floor to ceiling vinyl windows on two outside walls. In the winter the porch gets cold. So I saw this Rug Buddy on Amazon and figured it'd work like the heated floor in my bathroom except the heating element is of course above the tiles rather than below. I saw descriptive words like, "space heater" "toasty" "radiant floor heater" "like an electric blanket" and figured this thing would be just the ticket to take the chill off our porch. Amazon recommended I get the Lux plug-in thermostat too, so I did. A few hundred bucks later the stuff arrives and the instructions say I need a rug pad to separate the rug buddy from the floor. Ok, so I pop $$ for that too. After laying it all down, plugging it in and waiting 24 hours all I can say is, where's the heat? I mean seriously, a $20.00 candle would put out more BTUs than this ridiculous thing and at least the candle would smell nice too. The Lux thermostat which I set at 68 degrees is utterly useless because the room can barely muster 48 degrees and that's with the Rug Buddy on for hours and sun shining in. So here's the deal folks, I'm being charitable by saying that what the Rug Buddy really is, is a rug warmer, not a rug heater. Nor is it a space heater or what I would define as a "heater" of any sort. Unless your idea of heat is to get down on all fours, place the palms of your hands on the carpet and say, hmmmmm? I think it's warm, sort of, I guess. Any electric blanket you've ever experienced puts out a lot more heat than this thing does, heated car seats do too. The bottom line is, if you want to throw a rug on your floor then make it juuust warm enough to take the chill off then the Rug Buddy is for you. Pretty expensive for such a tepid result methinks.

The part arrived and was slightly different than the original. It fit the heater perfectly and my heater was back in working order in no time.

Customer Ratings:

This is a wonderful little heater. There is a high and a low and each one will oscillate as well. If you are looking to heat a room this is not the heater for you, but if you are just looking to sit down and read a book or browse the internet this this thing is awesome.

Best Conair HLD20P Heated Lotion Dispenser Deals

Customer Ratings:

I got this for my wife. She likes it, and it does a good job of warming lotion.

I thought unit was on the large size. It holds a LOT of lotion, which might be good if you lather down your body a couple of times a day. It is too big for those who use specialty lotion in relatively small amounts. In addition, the dispenser is also not as sturdy as it looks in the picture.

Am I pleased with the purchase? Yes. But with a little better design, this would have been a superb product.

Nothing feels better after a shower or bath than warm lotion. It's much more soothing, and seems to absorb more quickly.

This handy 16 oz. dispenser holds enough lotion for many a body smoothing, and takes only a jif to reach the perfect temperature. There is also an automatic turn-off for safety's sake.

If you're lucky enough to have a massage, warmed lotion only makes it more pleasurable. At times like this life is very, very good!

I got this product when the price dropped down to $12. So for that price I liked this product a lot. It heats the lotion well. Initially I thought it was small, but now I think it is the correct size. I did not realize how much better it is to apply heated lotion until this. I switch it on when I go for a bath and by the time I am back, the lotion is ready and warm. It is a great buy, and for all you bargain shoppers, wait till the price drops. It is especially a great buy during winter.

I am a massage therapist and use Biotone Herbal Select Body Therapy Massage Creme exclusively. In Alaska, in the winter, using this creme during a session without the Conair Heated Lotion Dispenser would be impossible. I have used this dispenser so much all the identifying brand marks have worn off and I and ordering a back up right now.

I had been using this lotion warmer/dispenser for about six months when it broke. The heating element still works, but the pump no longer produces lotion when pushed, rendering it useless.

Also, before it was broken, it was necessary to fill the well nearly full in order to get any lotion out, which meant refilling it nearly every week.

I don't recommend it.
