I knew exactly what I was buying when I purchased the Sunheat earlier this year and it does the job well. I needed a large-room electric zone heater for a small (450 sq ft) finished area for my basement. I live in Maine (very cold winters), but my well-insulated basement temperature stays fairly constant year round. I tried a few smaller space heaters and electric baseboard units prior to the Sunheat, but I found they simply didn't heat the space evenly or quickly enough. The Sunheat heats the space very well -comfortable and quick. The noise from the fan isn't even that loud. I can have the unit on next to the couch while I watch TV and it is a non-factor.

Also, it is important to note I do not run the unit 24/7 nor do I rely on the on-board temperature gauge to regulate the heat in the room. Instead, I plug the Sunheat into a Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat (which can be bought from Amazon for $30), and it basically turns my basement into a separate heat zone of the house. I can program when the heating unit comes and and what temp I want the room at based on when I use the space, just like I do on the other programmable thermostats in my house. I leave the Sunheat switched on and on the high temp setting, but it only comes on when my separate thermostat tells it to. A big reason that I bought a Sunheat 1500 is because it has a non-digital on-off switch, which is only thing that is compatible with this type of thermostat. The Duraflame (which is the top rated unit on Consumer Reports) and others will not work with a separate programmable thermostat because when they are plugged in, they require a person to actually turn them on by pushing a digital button. The Sunheat has a manual switch, which is exactly what I needed.

The rest of my house is on oil heat. I priced out adding a heating zone with forced hot water baseboards through my oil furnace in the basement, and installation alone was $1500-$1700, plus the cost of the oil heat. For around $275 I can accomplish the same with the Sunheat and outlet thermostat. I cannot say exactly how much my electric bill went up from using the Sunheat because it can be common for my bill to fluctuate $10-$20 each month yearround depending on other variables. I haven't seen an noticeable increase since I started using the Sunheat so that tells me it likely increases my electric bill around $10 monthly.

Again, I knew exactly what I needed when I bought the Sunheat and it does the job well.

I have tried many other heaters and this one is the cadillac of all heaters. Heater is rock solid and cranks out heat. It has a made in the USA wood case and is on wheels. The heater on off switch is located at the front top. Nothing on this heater gets hot.....very safe for pets and kids. 5 year warranty! A little more expensive then some heaters but worth every penny. Ignore the morons that claim all heaters are the same. I have had 1500 watt plastic junk heaters from walmart.....huge difference! A strong wind will blow the cheapies over or can get knocked over by a pet......Sunheat would take a hurricane to topple it.

You pay a lot more for a Mercedes then you do a Yugo for a reason.....I wonder if the same morons think the Mercedes is just the same as a Yugo and not worth the extra dollars??!! Buy this heater......best on the market!

Last year, I could no longer afford heating oil, so I attempted to heat my half on my duplex with two oil-filled radiators. My bedroom was barely warm; for the remaining rooms, I suffered. While at my computer, I could hardly feel my fingertips--and it was a mild winter! I got my SUNHEATER yesterday. The directions stated to set the thermostat full-on. Within seconds, I nearly baked! Plus, it barely takes up any space and is fairly quiet. I do not, as yet, have any heating-cost information; but it has to be much better than the two heaters it has replaced. My seller is great--I purchased the unit for, literally, $100 less than the national-hardware store I'd mapped-out for my purchase. Thus, this unit is a winner all around!

Bought this when my Delonghi heater finally crapped out. It's a nice unit, does the job (so far) of adding a little comfort to my unheated basement. Have only had it for half of one heating season, so we'll see how it pans out next year.

Cheap Nordic Pure 20x24x4M12-1 MERV12 AC Furnace Air Filter, Box of 1

Understand that when you receive your box, the filter itself will be unwrapped and will not have any identification on it. If your box arrives unsealed (and 2 of my boxes have) you may suspect a scam when the outside package is genuine, and an unscrupulous reseller has replaced the contents with junk.

Nordic says that they don't print the Nordic name on their product to save money. They do print the size and air flow direction, so adding their name won't change their cost. At best, it allows them to manufacture for bulk sale to other companies. Wonder who is reselling re-branded Nordic filters, and do they cost less???

Printing an ID on the filter...

1) Adds marketing push to the Nordic brand,

2) Assures the consumer they've received the quality they think they are purchasing, and

3) Puts the Nordic name in front of the consumer when filter replacement time comes.

I can't assure you that I received a MERV 12 filter, but it does resist airflow more than the MERV 8 filter I replaced does. This could just be thicker filter material or reduced surface area, not better material that will stop more and smaller particles. Nordic, despite the product picture, doesn't identify the filter as even Nordic, let alone MERV 12. {Minus 1 star.}

PS: Other vendors such as Honeywell have upgraded their standard filter MERV rating. If I re-order the part number on Honeywell sticker on my furnace, I will now get a MERV 11 instead of the old MERV 8, and pay the lower MERV 8 price. {Minus 1/2 star.}

PPS: What Nordic calls a 4" filter is actually 3 1/2 inches thick. Other vendors 4" filters are actually 4 3/8 inches thick. Measure your old one, and read the manufacture's dimensions CAREFULLY. {Minus 1/2 star.}

These filters appear to be doing a good job. We're seeing less dust around the house which is great.

One comment once I got the filter out of the box there wasn't any info on the filter itself documenting the MERV level, and in fact the shipping box was somewhat unclear as to whether I had received a MERV 12 or MERV 13 filter. To Nordic's credit they answered the phone, talked to me about the product and how they make it, and I was convinced I made a good purchase.

I will certainly look to Nordic Pure as my go to filter in the future. Very nice company, good product, good price.

If you need to replace yours this is as good a place as any to get it. Leslie's wanted over $400 for a whole new box, they wouldn't sell just the internals. Came as quickly as I paid extra to receive it next day and worked out of the box in just 10 min to swap out the old one.

I ordered this kettle specifically to avoid heating up water in plastic. However, this kettle emitted a foul chemical odor that also transferred to the water. I boiled it a few times plus tried the water/vinegar suggestion in the brochure but nothing seemed to help. I decided that I didn't want to take the risk of drinking these unknown chemicals so I'm returning it it's not worth the risk. I can't figure out if it's coming from the "stainless steel" bulb (that feels like plastic to me if you tap on it) that covers the heating element or the plastic seal between the glass & the bulb. Plus the lid has a stong odor too & that is plastic covered in "stainless steel".

My biggest rave is the Amazon.com customer service. I fell in love with the look of this kettle and found the best price on Amazon.com (with free shipping!) When it arrived, it only worked if the kettle was oriented one way on the base -when it boiled, the water dribbled on the cord. Called Capresso Cust Svc -1st person said, it's supposed to do that. After another week, it got worse. Capresso would replace it if I paid it's shipping back to them. Called Amazon.com, got another in the mail days later, post-paid shipping back the first one to them. Wow! This kettle works just fine. Very rapid boiling of water, no complaints about anything. To keep the glass and that silver dome shiny, you do need to do the vinegar thing every now and again. Couldn't be happier.

I bought this kettle because I loved the glass carafe and that I could see the contents of the kettle and I really liked the overall design. But I was completely disgusted with the results!

I always use filtered water for cooking and drinking because I am quite sensative to tastes and odors in my water. The filtered water I put in this kettle tasted FINE, but after the boiling routine was complete, the water smelled and tasted like a swimming pool. I took a sip of tea I made from this kettle and spit it across the room (a la Kramer)! The most foul chemical smell and taste I have ever known. I cannot believe that anyone else using this kettle, or in fact the manufacturer, would not notice it. I washed the kettle with soap and emptied it after each use, but even after a week, the same foul contamination was occuring as a result of heating the water in this kettle. If I left a small amount of water in the kettle for even an hour, I could watch a thick chemical buildup forming on the chrome heating dome that I could wipe off with my finger, like a BAD science project.

I don't know what is wrong with this thing, but it is truly scary. I am warning all consumers to stay away from this chemical hazzard producer and find another way to heat your water!

Note: If you want to better understand the problem, walk into any Bed Bath & Beyond or Linens & Things store and sniff the inside of the carafe they have on display. There is clearly something wrong with the materials used in the manufacturing of this item. It CAN'T be safe.

I had mine for about 8 months and then the handle fell off while I was pouring a full kettle of boiling water into a teapot. I was lucky not to be badly burned. The handle is held to the lid with two small screws that are screwed into plastic. It looks cool, and maybe mine was somehow defective, but watch out (especially if you have small kids who might be in the way of the boiling flood).

Have had this for a month now and it works great. Heats fast, the level lines are nice ( not hard to see for me ), no dripping problems. But the silcone gasket around the heating element is still imparting a bit of an off taste and releases a plasticky smell. It's gotten a bit better but I still don't like it. The 'chrome' appears to be chromed plastic, didn't see that mentioned in description or reviews.

I had a particular heating problem. I have a spa room built outside the house over an old cement patio about 6 feet from my back door, so it does not have access to the central heat. The room is not insulated, and has about 1/3 glass windows so I can look out into the yard while in the tub. I'm telling you all this so you will understand that the area is not easily heated. It is used for only short periods of time, so I didn't want to heat it 24/7. Without heating, the room is probably only 4 degrees warmer than the outdoor temperature.

In very cold weather, without a supplemental source of heat, I simply cannot abide undressing in 40° or less, even if the spa itself is nice and warm. So I bought a series of inexpensive heaters, none of which would do anything except heat the few feet around the heater. Then I saw the Laslo which said it had a "push" system to get the heat into the room. Having no idea what the "push" entailed, I bought it, knowing I could return this heater, as I'd done with the previous two, if it did not fill my needs. But I did not need to return it. It works for my purpose.

The unit is attractive, is tall and narrow so can fit into a small area, yet throw out heat sufficient to allow me to undress, use the spa, and re-dress in comfort. Then I turn it off. (I preheat the room easily using the digital brightly lit, large LCD thermostat which shows the ambient temperature, and moves up as the room heats. This a.m. the room started at 43° and now, after 15 minutes, it is up to 50° already. If I open the lid of the spa it will heat even more rapidly, of course). The room contains 3 exercise machines, also, so we can now exercise in comfort, as well. I have no need for the remote control which comes with the unit since I'm either in water or on a machine while using it.

I highly recommend this heater.

The heater work well in that it heats the room by several degrees (starting at 69) in just a few minutes. We used it last night for the first time in our 14'x15'x8' bedroom and after some experimentation put the thermostat at 75 degrees. The instructions say that in the automatic mode the unit will radiate heat until 77 degrees is reached and shut off at 74 degrees. It does shut off when the LED indicates the room temp. at 74 and stays on until 76 degrees (not 77). However, there is a disconnect between the digital thermometer in my room and the one on the heater. My digital thermometer indicates a low of 71.4 F. and a high of 75.4 F. I'm willing to live with that and the trick is to not be concerned about what's on the LED of the heater but what is the actual temperature of your room. I've never seen any heater's temp readout be accurate. Will exchanging it matter? I don't know, but if the room were to become too cold or hot during a given cycle I would exchange it. There seems to be no such thing as a perfect heater, so compromises need to be made. I find it confusing that there are about seven Lasko heaters within the same price range but numbered differently so I was not able to determine which one would best for my needs. I got this one because it was the only Lasko they had at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

I think the heater is worth a try. The fan on high is not very loud, although you can readily hear it. I'm a light sleeper and I had no problem going to sleep with it on. It's a lot less noisy that the top-rated Vornado I own. Heaters with no fans don't distribute the heat very well so that was not an option for me; I knew there would be some noise with any fan. Would I buy this heater again? Yes, knowing what I know now, and I will follow up if my experience changes over the next several days.

This will be my 3rd winter with this heater. I live in a cabin, (yes literally a cabin), but it is insulated and is small enough that it doesn't have a furnace. I use this heater in my main living space. It stays on all winter once the temperature begins to drop below freezing and has worked really well.

Efficiency

This heater does a good job of maintaining a comfortable living temperature. I set the temperature as I would a thermostat adjusting it to around 60 when I am going to be gone a long time, and raising it when I am home. I did find that if let the ambient temperature get two low while I am away, it will take the heater a long time to warm up the entire place, so I have a second smaller space heater that I use intermittently just to offset any excessive winter chill.

Thermostat Accuracy:

The digital thermostat is fairly accurate once the heat is circulated throughout the room , however, when it first turns on there may be up to a five degree difference in temperature based on how far away you are from the heater. When I return home I usually se the thermostat a few degrees higher than my target temperature and turn it down after I have been home awhile. I have another thermostat on the opposite side of the room, as well as a ceiling fan and have found that after about 20 minutes or so the ambient temperature evens out.

Cost vs other heat sources

This heater produces a LOT of heat and so will use a lot of electricity if run continuously as I do. For comparison I had been paying hundreds of dollars to heat my apartment when I had gas but running this heater as my sole heat source (on high) will cost me between 40 and $100 per month depending on how cold it is. We had a month last year where it was regularly 14 to 30 degrees below zero for more than two weeks and this heater kept me warm, but it added about $100 to my electric bill. So if you have a primary heat source other than this one, remember to turn it down as low as possible, and to block off unused areas or you will counteract any savings this powerful little heater might provide.

Honest reviews on Lasko 5521 Ceramic Tower Heater

This ceramic space heater has two fan speeds. Both speeds are quiet considering their blowing strength. The heater can oscillate, moving about 45 angle degrees back and forth on its little lower section; this is very smooth, not jumpy like some cheap oscillating fans. The room temperature is displayed normally on a very bright LED readout that shows the set temperature once you go to set the built-in thermostat. All the buttons are easy to access and give a light beep for confirmation. You can turn oscillation on or off, set high or low fan speed, set temperature, or use an automatic shutoff timer up to 8 hours. Looks great, with a great fit and finish.

This unit is used in an uninsulated hallway to take the chill off, thaw out boots and clothes, and keep the cold draft out of the house. The heater has a small remote (line of sight only) and is programble for both high/low, rotation, temp, and timer operation or any combination there of. (yup you can run it on low setting in auto mode with the temp set)

The unit cycles to maintain a temp in auto mode by going 2 degrees over and under your set temp. So if you have it set to say 60 it will turn on at 58 and off at 62. I like this feature as it runs less overall. The rotation feature is smooth and quite, like the fan. The only loud thing on it is the thermostat, it makes an audible click like a bottle cap pop when the unit cycles on and off. Did not bother me but thought I would mention it. This thing puts out a lot of heat for its size and I was really amazed at how small it was, tucks in a corner nicely. Its perfect for an office, small bedroom (10x10), hallway or porch...

I monitored this unit with a Kill-a-watt power meter and @ .22cents per kw this unit is running about $24 per month to heat an uninsulated hallway in in old victorian home. We have it set @ 62 deg and the unit cycles on as needed. TO give you an idea its been about 25-30deg outside and the hallway befor the heater was 44 deg on average, colder overnight. So its raising the temp about 18deg for us ...huge diffrence...and worth it.

Cheap Royal Sovereign ARP-5012XH Portable Air Conditioner Dual Hose

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this unit online about 1.5 yrs ago. The sleek design is cool as is the air it produces. The initial setup time was around 30mins (you must assemble the plastic hoses and mounts), but I managed to get it running within 10min this year. The product works as designed and keeps my living room/kitchen at a constant 73 degrees (easily 400sq ft). I have not emptied any water from the drip valve in the rear so maintenance isn't an issue. The system is a bit noisy and definitely heavy (does have wheels) but we are talking 12,000 BTU. I would recommend this product to a friend or family member.

I consult for an association in the DC metro area and the building space they rent shuts off the AC on weekends and week nights. I've installed 5 rack mount servers and their related switches, routers, etc., in their network closet. This is shared with several telecom systems and back up power systems. This technology setup produces incredible dry heat and is torture on the electronics and media. Several times the servers have shut down due to thermal overload.

This closet is about 10' square with a 9 foot ceiling. The building's HVAC system is connected to this closet.

This unit has kept the closet to the set 76 degrees and only runs when the building's system is on standby as the building keeps the temp at around 74 and this closet has a supply that is wide open.

Installing this unit was painless, cut the drop ceiling tile to size, install included drop ceiling vent adapter, connect exhaust hose and plug in the unit. We've yet to trip the 15 amp breaker.

I gave this unit only four stars because the condenser fan (made of a reinforced plastic) disintegrated at the end of last year's cooling season. When the association fired up the AC this season they noticed it would only produce cold air for perhaps 2-4 minutes, then cycle to room temperature air.

As the case is, Royal Sovereign has just one part listed on its web site for this unit, a $15 replacement condenser fan. Well, today I replaced the fan and it took perhaps an hour. I even removed the 48 blades and assorted other plastic that was once the fan, none were left attached, the squirrel cage was demolished.

I could see where someone else might rate this unit a 2 or 3 if their fan catastrophically disintegrated, however, this unit, when running as it did all last season, was more than up to the task. Because other contractors, consultants, and personnel access this closet, I'm not all that uncertain that someone may have bumped roughly into the unit while it was running and caused the damage.

As the closet air is dry because of the heat produced by the electronics, I haven't, nor do I expect to, experience any issues with condensation.

I am unable to report how this unit works because two different units shipped "badly" damaged. I spent a great deal of time researching 12k BTU units. This RS ARP-5012 fit the bill technically. I ordered one from another vendor returned damaged, and ordered the same from Amazon in hopes this would be OK. My mistake.

If I had paid attention to the packaging the first time, I would have noticed that there was very little protecting foam at the top of the unit. Both came in with the very thin, soft foam material broken and in the bottom of the box.

Beware of this manufacturer.

Cheap Fluval 106 Canister Filter With E 100 Heater And Thermometer

Customer Ratings:

As I said in the Title. This Filter is amazing. Very easy to hook up and works great. I am using it in a 20 Gallon Tall Aquarium. The Aquarium is Fully Planted with Fluval Stratum as substrate and it keeps the water crystal clear.

The Heater on the other hand is performing way less than expected. The heater has an internal thermostat which tells you how warm the water temp is. I am unsure if that is accurate or if my other thermometer is not accurate because they differ by 3 degrees F. The heater itself is also very bad. It heats the water alright but the other day I came in and the temp was 80 Degrees F. I have it set at 76 Degrees. That was the worst part but usually I notice that the water temp varies by 3-4 degrees throughout the day and is never stable. I am going to take this heater out and replace it with something more stable.

This Lifesmart heater is a good buy for me and I own just about every different type of space heater available. To start, don't expect it to heat 1200 sq ft, and don't expect the wood finish to be outstanding. The wood finish is not bad, but if viewed in direct sunlight you can see all the imperfections in the wood, though acceptable but not for a picky person. You can always refinish the wood, or darken the stain, so it does not bother me. The buttons make a beep sound when pushed, this could wake up the baby. The thermostat when cycling off and on make a faint clicking sound, this could also potentially wake up the baby.

Now for the good stuff. It is a super solid unit with nice smooth casters for rolling, weighs in over 40 pounds. The electronics are really nice, the thermostat has a 2 degree F. range. If you set it at 67, the temperature will go from 65-67, shutoff at 67 and then turn back on at 65. When it shuts off, the fan continues to push residual heat, the fan does not shut off.

I have a killowatt tester. On low it uses 940 watts, on high it uses 1360 watts, the fan alone uses 32 watts. Don't let the low scare you because the on off cycles can turn it to 500 watts or less.

It seems to push a lot of heat. I was expecting to feel the warmth of the infrared like a typical infrared heater. For some reason I could not feel the infrared, maybe most of it gets soaked up with the copper, but some must also come out. Maybe just not enough to be plainly noticeable.

I was originally thinking this would save me by taking over some work from the furnace. Instead it is saving me in a different manner. It is not powerful enough to heat my main area. I have a 4000 sq ft home. I found it works much better in our bedroom. We were using a space heater on high 1500 watts all night to supplement the furnace. I can keep this Lifesmart on low and set the digital thermostat and it cycles on and off and it does the job using under 500 watts. My calculations are at about a $50 savings per month using it in this manner. Just because it worked out for me, it does not mean it will work out for you. I was originally disappointed that it did not help the furnace with my main living area and was disappointed I did not feel the infrared. I was thinking it was a bad buy and no real use for it. Then I started trying to figure where it might work better, and am satisfied now.

One test I did, I took my next best heaters, a new model Lasko Cyclonic Ceramic Heater 5840 and a Lasko 5812. On a cold night near 0 night, I set it to 3 degrees above the rest of the house, and the most they could do after hours on high is 2 degrees above. I then took the Lifesmart and set it at 4 degrees above, and to top that off I set it on low. In 10 minutes it hit a degree warmer than the other 2 heaters could do in hours of work. So it is doing something, that's for sure. It is just not readily apparent as I would like it to be. I wanted to feel sunshine type heat. I didn't get the infrared feel. I am still very happy with the buy. I figure it should be free in 4 months of operation with the savings. I will recommend this to anyone who is not too picky on the wood finish. This ended up being my best space heater.

I bought this heater, exact one for 170 shipped off a seller on ebay. This product works so well in my apartment (1000 sf) that we use it as our only source of heat. The built in heater that came with the unit was costing me 70 dollars in gas bills and up a month to heat the apartment in the winter. I was fed up with paying so much for the bill that I decided to take the plunge and buy this... I keep the unit on Low all day and all night. The unit peridocly shuts on and off (approx 1-2 min every 40-60 minutes) to cycle the heat around the house when the temperature dips below the degree listed on the face of the heater. Right now it is 40 degrees outside and my house is a comfy 72 (listed on the home thermostat, when the lifesmart heater is listed at 72). My new bill for electricity cost me compared to the previous month (no heater) only 10 dollars more, likewise my gas bill went down 70 dollars as compared to the previous month with the apartment heater on. Overall a really great product.

No use heating the entire house with all the kids gone. I use this heater for my bedroom during the night and set it for 73F. It brings the room to approximately 71F and turns off. Then it comes on for a minute for two every 15 minutes to maintain the temperature. I went to Harbor Freight and purchased a Digital Electrical Usage Tester to see how much power this heater is actually using. Turns out it uses 1350 Watts, 114 volts, and 11.8 Amps. If it stayed on all night this would be a energy hog, but since it only comes on approximately 4 times per hour, for a minute each time, the energy use is much less than my central air. Therefore my energy use went down for this past month since turning down my central heat and using this heater to heat my bedroom. Overall it met my expectations. Only one thing I had not anticipated is the smell of new wood and glue the first two weeks as the heater broke in.

Honest reviews on LIFESMART Amish Inspired Power Plus 1200 Square Foot 6 Element

This Lifesmart heater caught on fire in the middle of the night. There were actual flames coming out of it. It was sitting alone with nothing around it within 3 feet. We drug it outside and put the flames out with a hose. It thankfully did not hurt anyone since the smoke alarm alerted us to the situation. It did cause smoke smell damage that is still present. The manufacturer was contacted and they wanted to replace it with a lessor type heater ($99.99) and offered $50.00 for the damage. They stated that in 99% of the time that this happens (does it happen frequently?) it is the outlet that is the problem. This particular outlet is functioning fine and there is no damage to it. The fire started inside of the unit, not at the outlet. The house has to be repainted and the furniture cleaned which will cost much more than $50.00. This has been an unacceptable suggested resolution from this company. I would not recommend this heater simply because of the manufacturer's statement that "when this happens" which tells me that we are not the first customer to experience this. If it was a first time occurrence and they were responsive that would be one thing. This sounded like it was just another incident.

the heater works well but not up to the advertised level they suggest. it does well in our 700 square foot home. 1500 square feet would be quit a strech for it i would think. but it does do a decent job and we are happy with its performance.

The thermostat setting going on and off will startle you every time. I don't know why the thermostat has to be so loud.

The fan's white noise is tolerable when I'm studying next to it but rather loud first thing in the morning. Not good near a TV either.

However, this is good to put in a room to prevent pipe freeze (set it to 40 degrees).

I bought this Holmes heater for my bedroom because during the winter months, my bedroom sometimes get's that extra chill. This little heater does it job by keeping me warm and toasty. I don't rest my heater on the floor, that does not mean you can't rest the heater on the floor, you can rest it on the floor. I just rest mines on a little wood table and it does the job just find. I have bought many heaters over the years and I love this one the best.

PROS: 1. This heater heats up your room quick.

2. It has tip over safety protection: meaning if the heater fell over it will shut of.

3. It heats up to 1500 Watts.

4. Electronic Thermostat.

5. 2 Heat Settings: meaning you can set it at 1200 watts or 1500 watts.

6. LCD digital controls: meaning you can set your heater on what ever degrees you wish, Example 65 degrees to 90 degrees.

CONS: I only have one con which is ,it is a little to loud, not to loud that you can't sleep.

I would recommend this heater for anybody who want to keep warm in the winter time.

Review of Bionaire Tower Ceramic Heater

Customer Ratings:

I love my Bionaire space heater. I can't compare it to other heaters, but it has a wide oscillation range, very convenient remote control, and light enough to move from room to room. The heating capacity has been very good, with a nice touch screen LCD panel. There's a handle in the back with makes it very easy to move from room to room. It heats up very quickly and cools down almost immediately as well. The eco-smart setting is nice to conserve energy, while maintaining heat. It's very low noise, so easy to sleep with it on. It also has a timer function, and fan only function.

I loved it so much that I went out and bought another one! Enough said.

I read reviews before buying this and I was concerned that it might break after one week. I bought mine directly from the Lowe's. So whoever heater that broke after a week probably got a defective one. I have this heater for almost 2 months now and it is still running well. I wanted to give it a longer time before leaving a review. It heats up the room quickly. It is quieter than my previous heater. The light is awfully bright as the other reviewers have said. I just tape a cardboard over it and that helps. It has an automatic feature. If you set your heater to 65 degrees, the heater will stay on until it reaches this temperature. You also have the option to set it on "Stay On". I will recommend this to anyone under a budget and wants to sleep at night without having to worry about turning it off in the middle of the night.

These heat so well that I bought another one after I purchased my first. I use two to heat my moderately sized living room (this is a total of 3kwh) instead of running my central heat (15kwh). The cost savings are astronomical at more than $100 per month if you normally use electric heat in a multi-story new construction home.

One broke on me at the very end of the 2010 winter season and I'm just waiting for Bionare to get delivery of a shipment of the same model so they can ship me a new one. They did offer to upgrade me and send me one that they had available, but I really love this unit.

The other one, the fan isn't silent and instead makes a bit of a mechanical noise while it's running, but I haven't called back on that one because it's not too big of a deal.

I would recommend this heater to family and friends for convenience, effectiveness, and cost savings.

Honest reviews on Bionaire Tower Ceramic Heater

Originally, my family bought two of these from Costco somewhere in the $50 range. For over a year, it has performed well, giving consistent warmth to bedrooms and bathrooms.

Some positives:

* Very slim. It's tall, and doesn't take up a lot of space.

* Quiet.

* Comes with a wireless remote. Very useful when you don't want to get up to change the settings or to turn it off.

* LCD screen indicator. A very nice touch.

* Several modes: max heat, eco friendly, and a desired temperature.

* Osculating mode is quiet and moves smoothly.

Drawbacks:

* Max heat settings can use too much electricity. At our house, we don't use the max heat because it usually cuts off our electricity temporarily.

Overall, a solid ceramic heater with some nice features.

I use this heater to heat a 31" Trailer I have up in the Cascade Mountains in Washington state. I use the trailer every weekend year around. Night time tempatures during winter are near zero with teens during the days. This heater will keep the trailer around 60* at night and upper 60's during the day which is comfortable. During spring I just set the thermostat at 70*. It has run all winter without a problem. I liked it so much that i bought another one when the Lasko heater that i used in my bathroom at home crapped out. Both are working like new still. I bought both at Costco for around $40 each and highly recommend them.

Honest reviews on World Marketing GFA40/FA40DLX 40,000 BTU Forced Air LP Heater

I purchased this heater to heat a 25X25 uninsulated garage in Maine in the winter (2012-13) while doing some remolding in the house. I needed to set up a workshop in the garage to do table saw, router, and sanding type work. This heater managed to keep the garage at or above 55 degrees on even the coldest days, some of which were at or near zero. It is easy to start, not as noisy as some forced air heaters I've heard on other job sites (although it still sounds like a jet engine), and remarkably efficient. I was using a standard 25 lb. propane tank and I honestly don't know how long they lasted because I wasn't the only one changing them. But I do know it was something north of 8 hours. There really was no downside to this unit with the exception that there was a "propane-ish" smell almost all the time. At first I was concerned that it was uncombusted propane, but after a day or so, I realized it was just the normal smell that comes with an open gas flame, which is essential what all heaters of this type do.

This heater is fine IF you want only one speed fan that is LOUD!! The product information specifies that is has "VARIABLE HEAT SETTINGS". IT DOES NOT! I had it in 2 car garage and could not stand to work with it in there. I could hear it from inside the house! I had to return and pay for shipping both ways which I should not have to do since it is FALSELY advertised. It is the first time I have had to return any product purchased from Amazon (and I buy a lot!). Perhaps they meant to say that the angle setting is variable, but the HEAT output is not! This works well and if you have a bigger space maybe and don't mind a roaring blower then this is for you!

UPDATE: I returned the item and was refunded by the seller plus return shipping. The seller informs me that Amazon controls the listing and that they are unable to change the listing to single speed. BUT they said they pulled the product listing to avoid confusion. I have revised my rating based on the fact that the seller refunded my money.

Whirlpool 279816 Thermostat Kit for Dryer as sold by Seneca River Trading.

1. I paid Seneca River Trading for expedited shipping and it went USPS Priority Mail from NY 13027 to TN 37923. It took 10 days for delivery but even UPS ground would have gotten it to my door in 3 days.

2. Seneca River Trading put the product in a padded USPS flat rate envelope instead of a USPS flat rate box plus some bubble wrap. The thermal cutoff had a bent prong and the thermostat had something that looks like a pop rivet that had busted. Both items appear to work OK but the packaging allowed minor damage and only luck prevented them from being damaged enough that I'd have to pursue another replacement part.

3. The screws in the kit don't thread into the holes on the dryer. Not a big deal as I had plenty of computer screws from PC builds lying around that did fit just fine. But for someone with less spare parts laying around this could have been an issue as the provided screws wouldn't turn more than once until the thread was in a bind and the thermostat was still wobbling around.

4. I've edited this review 3 times now. Amazon doesn't want me to link to the youtube video that gives instructions for modifying the wiring to use the new part since the old part is wired differently. Please note that the instructions provided with the kit are not clear. Google the part # and watch the video on youtube since I can't link to it from here. With the tools I had stripping the wires and crimping the new leads was a hassle I wouldn't wish on anyone with poor coordination or poor tools. If you are not the Do It Yourself type you'll want a friend to do the wiring work for you or you'll want to pay someone to do it. The orange wire barely had an inch of slack and a mistake replacing the end on that wire could complicate the repair.

On the whole I got the parts for about half price vs the closest appliance store that had the part in stock but I did without my dryer for two weeks and had to haul laundry to the laundromat during that time and spent more time than I'm happy to admit tracking the package and checking the mail every day.

Amazon Prime has me spoiled for things showing up in 1 or 2 days from time of order and USPS tracking and delivery speed on this were sub par.

I held onto this review until I caught up on my backlog of laundry and I'd given it a week or two to stop working. The dryer still works so I'll give this 3 stars. If it had arrived undamaged and in less than 5 days time like I expected I would have given 4 stars.

The high limit thermistor is not an oem equivalent as it indicates. The temp for the switch is lower than the OEM and will not function. Double check the temperature marked on your oem thermistor before installing this one. I found this out only after the repair man came out and discovered that it was the wrong part.

Honest reviews on Whirlpool 279816 Thermostat Kit for Dryer

This part works like a charm! The instructions seemed a little cryptic I felt I was going to break something, but then finally got it . . . it seems the dryer is designed to fit this part (has the outline and screw holes for it) but the original installed part sits at a different angle and is secured by a tab, not screws, adding to my confusion.

I had tested the thermal cutoff and ascertained that was the problem. The kit also includes a thermostat and all instructions (included, on Amazon and the Web) recommended replacing both. They were right! I did a test BEFORE replacing the thermostat and the dryer definitely ran too hot probably what caused the thermal fuse to blow in the first place!

I was very pleased with the delivery time it only took a couple of days, even via USPS. I am now a hero in my wife's eyes!

It's not worth saving some money on this, pay more and buy OEM parts. This part worked for a few loads of clothes, then not at all. I have a baby that I'm cloth diapering so I really need a dryer. Not so fun to have to go through this all again!
