My wife an I like to enjoy a glass of wine by the fire. Previously we lived in an area where we could have a real fire and just relax. We recently moved to a restricted area where we could not burn wood. We purchased this pit because it was the largest of the portable units (most camp areas around here have burn bans during summer droughts). We were pleasantly surprised at the inital quality of the unit (only time will tell on actual quality) The paint has a thick enduring feel and the weight seems substantial.

We have so far found that on a mid 60*F night we only turn the pit on less than half way. At full tilt it is more than a comfortable temperature.

Our only complaint is that the images are clearly photshopped. The flames that we get at full are about a foot tall. We do not get any of the two foot flames that are pictured. the flames are proportional to the size and more than adequate for us. I will post pictures when we fire it up this weekend.

I purchased one of these portable outdoor fire pits and love it. I use it on my patio in Pacific Northwest evenings and it's always the center of attention. My friends and family love it because we always end up outside longer than usual. Setup and teardown is quick and easy. The rocks that come with the unit cool down very quickly I can box it up 10 minutes after turning it off. It pumps out heat (way more than I expected), and 1/2 a standard size propane tank lasted for multiple hours at the highest flame setting. There is zero odor or smoke it's very clean burning. The hose length is more than ample to keep the propane tank a safe distance from the flame, and out of the way of chairs to surround the fire. I can without hesitation recommend this product.

We recieved this fire pit a few days ago and we love it! We have had fire restrictions since June 18 in our area for open campfires. A friend of ours got a similar product, but we decided on this one instead of one like theirs. We are so glad we did. There is very little odor (if any} from the propane burning.(and I could smell theirs) It is great not to have any smoke to run from! We have been burning it on the lowest setting and it is perfect for us. I'm sure when it gets colder we will want to turn it up some, but it still puts out good heat on low. If you are just a few feet away it really looks just like a wood campfire burning. We would recommend this fire pit to anyone wanting an alternative to the wood campfire.

Honest reviews on Heininger Outland 5995 58,000 BTU Portable Propane Outdoor Fire Pit

We've tried a few different wood fire bowls and friend's houses and always came away smelling like a chimney. We considered getting a chiminea as well, but those can be finicky and take up a lot of space. This propane fire bowl seemed an ideal solution and after breaking it out during a recent snow storm, we're pretty satisfied.

As another reviewer stated the bowl is actually black, and not the polished bronze that's pictured. They really need to fix the picture. While it didn't make a difference for me, I'm sure some people care more about their decor than I do. It's also smaller than a comparable wood fire bowl. The pictures lack context so this is hard to discern, but it may be a good bit smaller than you expect. Great for portability, but I wouldn't try to get more than 4-5 people around it.

The bowl assembled very quickly and within 10min or so I had it hooked-up to my extra propane tank and away we went. There doesn't seem to be a great deal of difference in terms of flame size between the High and Low settings (neither came close the picture), but either way it puts off a good amount of heat without all the nasty smoke and there is a discernable flame, which is nice.

So far we're happy with the purchase. We'll see if it stands the test of time. Would give it 5 stars, but the wrong bowl color and somewhat misleading flame in the picture and I'll call it a solid 4.

Received this a few days ago at a vacation home in Jackson Hole.

Set up was a breeze. It appears to be well made and the metal is reasonably thick. burner control is nice, reminds me of a Weber. A big feature that should be included (but is not) is an ignitor! Bending over with a lighter or match is a little awkward and did put my bearded mug a little too close to the initial flames in my opinion.

We have a bulk LP tank with a quick connect for our existing BBQ so I ordered an extension hose with quick connect end, removed the LP hose that came attached to this unit, attached the quick connect an voila! a nearly unlimited supply...though I suspect without some diligence our gas bill could be hefty.

Unit is sitting on a wooden deck which was a concern for me. The wood below the fire bowl is slightly warm to the touch after burning on high for about an hour. The appears to be about 3" of clearance which doesn't sound like much but seems to allow any radiated heat to dissipate.

Another complaint is the color. It appears to be brownish or perhaps rust online. The unit arrived black.

Sitting here below the Tetons as the sun sets this unit is keeping the chill at bay.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program

My video review says it all, but in a nutshell:

* Light-weight, easy to move about the house

* Just add hot water and 2-ounces of the included cleaner

* Really gets the carpet clean -works as good as the large grocery-store rental units

There are only two minor things I'd add to this product if I could:

* Wheels (though it is not too heavy, wheels would allow you to tackle a bigger stain faster)

* A retractable power cord. However, the cord is long, which is very convenient.

This is the perfect product for pet owners, parents -and clumsy people like myself. :-)

It would also be ideal for restaurants and stores with carpets for fast clean-ups.

If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments section. Hope this review has helped.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Bissell's Spot Clean Pro Portable Deep Cleaner, 3624 is a great little machine to have around for every day spills, tracked in mud, pet accidents, and whatever many ways carpets and rugs get dirty. Even filled with liquid, it's fairly lightweight to easily tote around the house or to the car, with a rather lengthy 22-foot cord that's more than adequate for my apartment. With no assembly needed, the machine comes ready to use with two tools and an eight ounce trial-sized bottle of 2X Professional Deep Cleaning Formula with Scotchgard Protector, and with only about two capfuls per tank, it has been more than enough with how much usage I've gotten out of this cleaner in the little time I've had it. A full tank can clean quite a lot, which I've taken to only filling it one-fourth or half full and sometimes that's still too much. A little goes a long way. So far I've used this machine on a sofa and its cushions, a chair, pillows, and carpet where my cats have left me "presents" and it has worked very nicely. I've yet to try it on the upholstery in my car, which would be the true test of its power. My only complaints are in how it sprays, which takes some getting used to if not used on carpet or a rug, especially in trying to cover the area without soaking it, and I feel like it could have a little more suction-power. But then again, maybe I'm expecting miracles. Cleaning the machine can be quite the chore, though dumping the dirty water tank is quite easy. They recommend suctioning up clean water to clear the hose, which I do, while I also have to turn over the machine to get any extra water out of it, as it appears the formula and clean water tank leaves a puddle behind plus the inner workings of the machine can hold leftover water. Since it's better if the Bissell is put away dry, I have to wait until these numerous items (tool[s], tanks/lids, hose) are dry, which can be burdensome. However, I am really happy with this Bissell and I'm willing to put up with quite a lot if a product works well, which this one does. Hey, it even managed to save a pillow that was the victim of a ceiling collapse where wet insulation soaked it. If this hadn't worked, that pillow would be in a landfill right now. So I'd recommend this little machine, it doesn't take up much space and is handy to have around for any messes that may occur.

Pros:

easy to use, such as filling with water and formula, attaching/detaching tools, and general cleaning

long flex hose (5 feet)

two attachments included (3" tough stain tool and 6" stair tool), plus there are more available on Amazon or at Bissell's site

22' power cord (that's in feet NOT inches)

8 oz. formula included is plenty to try out the machine and should last quite a while depending on how much cleaning there is

not too heavy even with either of the water tanks filled

easily portable with a carry handle

no assembly required

user's guide is actually helpful. I've gotten other manuals where they tell me everything I already know and nothing I need to know, but this was not the case here. I made sure I read this thoroughly before ever using the machine and I recommend everyone does, as it let me know how I should use the cleaner properly.

fair price for quality of product and how well it works

limited 2-year warranty

Cons:

the machine is a bit of a menace to clean (see full review for more details)

spraying takes some practice, but only if using on something other than carpet or a rug

could have a little more suction to it

Best Deals for Bissell 3624 Professional Spot Cleaner Deep Clean Portable

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program

The Bissell Spot Clean Pro Portable Deep Cleaner is a compact sized little machine that is easily transportable and reasonably easy to use. I'm not convinced it's the best choice for cleaning carpet and upholstery at this price point however. It gets high marks for portability but it's cleaning prowess leaves something to be desired and it is only intended for small clean-ups but certainly not for cleaning an entire room. It is truly a spot cleaner.

The unit itself is roughly the size of a basketball I suppose. The power cord is generous in length while the actual hose is just about right in length although I did think a bit more length might have been desirable... just a bit more.

Essentially there are two reservoirs, one for holding the cleaning solution, the other for holding the dirty water. Bissell provides two cleaning attachments, one is wider and intended for stairs, the other is small and intended for small stains. Also provided is a small bottle of cleaning solution. You fill, or partially fill the clean water tank with hot tap water and then add a small amount of cleaning solution to it. The cleaning solution is run through a small tube inside the hose to a nozzle at the end of the hose. A button on the handle of the hose releases the cleaning solution onto the area that you need to clean. Using either one of the provided cleaning tools, you gently brush the area to be cleaned and then use the suction of the machine to suck the dirt out of the rug or upholstery.

The suction seemed adequate and after moving the tool over the wetted area numerous time, until no more water is seen entering the hose, the cleaned area is damp to the touch, but not soaking wet.

I had mixed results using this machine on several different stains. In most cases it was possible to still see a faint remnant of stain but it was certainly a lot better than if left uncleaned. In some cases the stain or dirt was completely removed with no trace whatsoever.

The machine was somewhat noisy but it has to be somewhat noisy given its purpose. It did seem to provide adequate suction to remove the cleaning solution from the area being cleaned. I also felt that it held an adequate amount of cleaning solution given that this is intended as a spot cleaner.

Clean up of the machine is not quite as easy as you might think. Emptying the dirty water tank is easy enough but a surprising amount of carpet fibers and gunk remains in the hose and cleaning tool after use. I gave up trying to completely clean the hose and cleaning tool as it just was too difficult. I guess it doesn't have to be cleaned to a state of pristine, but if you're put off by gunk, just be forewarned that you'll have your work cut out for you to keep the hose and cleaning tools sparkling clean after using it.

There are other carpet/upholstery cleaning machines made by other companies, for instance this Hoover machine: Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge, F5914-900 that are operated more like a stand-up vacum cleaner that might be easier to use for some people since they don't require stooping down to use. And the cost is just a small amount more for that type of machine.

This Bissell Spot Clean Pro is more effective on some clean-ups and less effective on others, depending on the stain. It is certainly compact and easily moved around. Clean up can be a bit of a chore.

If you're looking for a small sized machine for occasional, small clean-up jobs, this will probably work for you. If you think you want to clean large areas or entire rooms, this is definitely not what you want. I think it's OK if a bit on the pricey side.

Honest reviews on Bissell 3624 Professional Spot Cleaner Deep Clean Portable

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have a large upright carpet cleaner that does a good job of cleaning carpets, but it's a chore to get it out, get it set up, and to get it cleaned afterwards. And while it has attachments for upholstery and spot cleaning, it doesn't do quite as good of a job as it does on carpets. So, I thought that a portable spot cleaner might be what I'm looking for these types of chores, and decided to give this cleaner, the BISSELL Spot Clean Pro Portable Deep Cleaner a try. Below are my pro's and con's for this deep cleaner.

Pros:

Ergonomics! I was very impressed at how well it all fit together. From the hose "reel" to the unit's space-saving size to the twist-out way you secure the power cord, it all fits together well. I even like how it looks ... like a small robot. :-)

Water/cleaning fluid capacity. You can handle a large job without having to run back and refill. The flip side of this is that the unit can get heavy when fully loaded, but you don't have to fill the water tank up all the way if you don't want to.

It did a good job on most stains, and did a better job on upholstery than my larger unit.

It comes with two cleaning heads ... a wider one and a narrower one, so you can choose the one that better fits your job.

The power cord is very long, helpful for jobs like moving around the room to clean several chairs without having to unplug/replug.

The suction (to pull water into the waste tank) is good.

Cons:

It's noisy when you're sitting next to it. It probably has to be in order to generate sufficient suction, but consider ear-plugs if you're sensitive to louder noises.

My larger carpet cleaner does a better job on toughest stains on the carpet. Some of this is a function of how much elbow grease you're willing to expend with the Bissell, but the powered brushes on the big units will do a better job with less effort. And if you have something really icky/sticky on your furniture or carpeted stairs, consider pre-treating for better results.

Other impressions that aren't a pro or a con:

Although the hose length is adequate, another three feet or so would have been nice.

It was easier to set up and easier to clean than my large carpet cleaner, but not by as much as I was hoping. It is considerably easier to move around and to store, though.

You do get your money's worth here, but if you don't already have a carpet cleaner, I'd recommend you spend just a little more money and get a large upright carpet cleaner, as this unit wasn't designed to clean entire carpets. It could, but it would take you a lot longer.

Overall, this is a great unit. It did a very good job on my chairs and couches, and on several recent stains on my carpet, including some chocolate ice cream dropped by my five year old while I was first using this cleaner. (I don't know how a girl so graceful can also occasionally be so clumsy!) It won't replace your upright cleaner, but that's not its goal. Five stars.

Well after 9 months of moderate usage the flex hose ripped. The hose is very stiff at the end, where it split. The flex hose replacement is $42 + $10 shipping. Very disappointed because it worked very nicely up until the hose split open. Will be adding a picture to the images. This would have easily been a 5 star product but it has been less than a year and the hose split, not happy.

UPDATE 09/10/13: Product is still under warranty. WIll be taking it to an authorized Bissell service center soon. Will update after that.

Review of Brentwood 1.2L SS Cordless Tea Kettle Brushed

List Price: $45.00

I drink tea every morning. Until a couple weeks ago, I was heating water in the microwave every morning. Then my brother-in-law informed me that was the least efficient way to heat water, I did some research and found he was right. I was very excited to get this electric kettle. I looked for one that could be lifted off the corded base, had an auto-shut-off, boiled water quickly so I could get out the door quickly in the morning, was not expensive, and did not have plastic in contact with the water that could leech BPA or other dangerous chemicals. I took a chance on this one based on what I saw and read here.

In most ways, this kettle works great. There's a light indicating when it's on, it heats 16 oz of water in a little over two minutes, is easy to handle, use, and pour. The plastic locking lid is a little awkward sometimes, just pushing it down does not always close it tightly, sometimes you have to pull the lock back with your finger at the same time.

But on the bottom of the box there is the California Proposition 65 warning (from the 1980s) that this product is made with chemicals known by the State of California to cause cancer or infertility. Ok, fine -which chemicals and are they going to leech into the water or are they say just on the lid or handle? I was unable to find any explanation or answer to that question.

On top of that, there is a strong odor inside this electric kettle when it gets hot. It is strong enough that if you boil water, pour the water out, open the lid, put your nose up to the top and take a deep breath, you will recoil a bit. It's not a disgusting or especially bad odor. I'm not able to identify what the source is, whether it's from hot plastic, or hot silicone, or something else. But in combination with the chemical warning (and I'm glad to be warned if it's not safe), I'm not willing to risk my health on a cheap electric kettle that might not be safe for the daily long-term use I intended for it.

I am trying to return the kettle. Since it was sold by an Amazon partner instead of Amazon proper, I am still waiting to hear whether that's possible and how to do so.

--UPDATE ---

Thank you for your comment. They accepted my return request within a few days.

I bought this for my boyfriend because he didn't own any form of kettle (crazy!!)

He uses it now to boil the water for his ramen noodles and instant coffee and he loves it!

The only thing is he says it takes a while to boil the water and maybe doing it by stove is faster than this kettle. It also doesn't keep the water hot long after it boils. It's good for him because there is only the plug and on/off switch so his technophobe mother can use it without freaking out :D

Good item for the price. Stainless steel helps prevent the plastic taste of water like the plastic kettles and doesn't leave residue like glass kettles after a while :)

-Water indication level when you open the top and look on the inside, there are rims indicating the minimum and maximum and something in between also.

-The Kettle detaches from the heater that gets plugged in at the bottom.

-Its very lightweight but it gets the job done. Once water is boiled, it shuts itself off.

Hi all,

For years I have warmed up water for instant coffee and tea bags in the microwave. After seeing a similar, but larger, kettle that our son had, we decided to give this a try. It heats a cup of water to boiling in the same time as the microwave and we don't have to reach up to get the cup out of the microwave a plus since both of us are not tall. The auto-cutoff works as advertised. I recommend it without reservation.

Honest reviews on Brentwood 1.2L SS Cordless Tea Kettle Brushed

Will this water ever stop tasting like plastic? After six weeks of boiling water twice daily in the Brentwood tea kettle, it still tastes like plastic.Thinking it had to be from condensing water dripping down from the inside of the plastic cover, I tried leaving the cover open and blocking it with a china teapot lid. No luck, the boiled water still tastes like plastic, not my favorite flavor!

I had an aroma tea kettle of similar design which worked great and produced water flavored water, but it died suddenly after only a year of use. So I thought I would try a different brand and bought the Brentwood version.

If you want boiling water for washing your dirty socks, the Brentwood is for you;the toxic flavor may help kill the cooties in your socks, too. But for drinking or cooking, forget about it!

The kettle was a replacement for a plastic kind that I had used previously. After my "old" kettle broke down (the water level window popped off) I had decided to aim for something a bit better built without any windows or weaknesses where water could eventually find its way through.

Picked this kettle as it seemed to fit the criteria. No plastic cheap viewing window, won't break easily if dropped (not tested) unlike the glass kettle(s) and reviews seem favorable. Bought the kettle and put it to use as soon as it arrived on June 23rd 2011 (literally minutes after it arrived I had washed it, boiled one max fill and poured it down the drain to prep the kettle).

It has been used on daily bases (multiple times) up until about 3 days ago when I noticed that kettle is displaying curious symptoms, namely I will turn the kettle on and it would not boil water until I turn it off and then on again. Also sometimes it will start to boil the water but then cut out half way through or turn on and off in random cycles. It is still usable, simple turn off and on usually fixes the problem and kettle boils the water as expected.

It has lasted Almost 10 months without any issues, no spills, no leaks and nothing broke off (yet!). For the price I'd say it served it's purpose well enough although product life expectancy might be something to be longed for in this case. Having said that I am giving this product 4 stars out of 5. Others might have had better luck with their orders of this product however, so I would recommend basing your decision on more than one review.

UPDATE (December 3rd 2012): It has been almost a year and a half since I bought this kettle so I believe I can comment on it's performance and life-expectancy a bit better. Since the kettle is still operational (with occasional glitches described above) I have upgraded the rating to full 5 stars.

The kettle still works as well as it did when I wrote the original review. An occasional mishap when the kettle fails to turn on or cuts out during the use before it finishes the job it has survived through is not enough of an issue. It's more of a nuisance that I have learnt to accept. The kettle works as well as expected for a product that was designed by an imperfect being (a human I hope?).

The upgrade of the rating is due to the simple fact that the kettle has not developed any additional issues (no leaks, no broken parts or bits missing) ,it looks exactly as it did when it arrived 12.5 months ago (maybe not as clean I'll admit, since I can never get into little nooks an crannies around the handle).

UPDATE (March 15th 2013): A curious development with the kettle. The issue that I had described before where it would fail to turn on or it would turn off too early etc. has now vanished. Kettle is still performing as when it was when we first got it which actually amazes me as I am one of those people that think companies nowadays tend to design their products to fail within a certain period of time and therefore make us buy products more frequently. The kettle did not develop any new issues after being used every day on average about 4 times (sometimes more often). If I HAD to pick one thing to complain about I'd say that the base is too light which means that the heavy duty cable will move it about depending on how you have it positioned. Obviously this is picking at straws so to say, honestly it has lasted longer than any kettle I've used before (and I've used a few back in the UK). This one's definitely recommended if you want something that will last you.

I bought these several years ago and they've been a great addition to my upstairs dormer. It was basically unheated up there and space heaters just don't do what these are doing. I placed 1 under each of the 3 windows up there on one thermostat and it has never been as comfortable up there as it is now. They heat quickly and cool quickly.

Lovely design. Great heat! Easy to move from place to place. The "new" smell disappears quickly in a few hours via following the directions. (I also used a tiny bit of lavender oil on the top fins during those hours to mask the initial unpleasant smell. And I placed it near a window that was ajar.) We haven't used the programming so I can't comment on that (see below for update!). (There was one similar model that lacked the programming feature, but it was not sold by Amazon and required a substantial shipping fee. My advice: Always check the origin and any shipping cost! When given a choice, I prefer Amazon. Second choice is to go through Amazon, if it's not something Amazon carries.)

Back to the heater:

This heats quickly. And it's cute! Easy to store, as this model is particularly slim. I strongly recommend reading the directions so you avoid overtaxing your electric outlets or circuits. Beyond that, this thing will be your "friend" on cold mornings as it heats up so quickly. It's like a little fireplace except it's safe.

My vote of confidence in the heater and in Amazon service (it arrived 2 days after shipping!) is so strong we are ordering a second one. This will enable us to keep the house temperature lower and just warm the rooms we're actually occupying at any one time.

My initial order included another DiLonghi heater (HHP1500, Mica Panel Radiator), which is very attractive looks almost like a small TV except with wire mesh instead of a screen. The oil-filled radiator keeps its heat longer and puts out more heat. But the Mica Panel radiator is preferable if space is limited and you're looking for something to keep your feet warm while reading or watching TV; it puts out consistent, gentle heat mostly from the front, a bit from the top whereas the oil-filled radiator puts out a lot of heat from the top. (Also, the mica panel one is so light, you can easily carry it from one room to another.) We're happy with both, but the oil-filled radiator is the one we decided to duplicate as, for us, it's more versatile, and can really "add" heat where you need it thus allowing us to have the thermostat lower. (Both heaters do not use blowers, which, if you have allergies, is a big plus! That's another reason to supplement forced air central heating with these space heaters.)

We chose a slim model. So I expect the larger, heavier models would be great heat "work horses" if you're looking for something with an even greater heat output.

Update (10/12/09):

Programming function of this heater:

By accident I have now learned about the programming. It's an ingenious design, in my view. It's not via a computer, but there's dial where you set the current time (be sure to move that dial only clockwise!) and then there is a circle of tiny little red levers (like tiny hairs, except they move). And these little levers are really on/off controls. If the lever is moved to the center of the circle, then it's "on" so if you don't need to "program" it, you simply move all the little levers toward the center and you have nice little circle of red. However, for any spans of time where you want the heater to turn itself off, you move the lever to the outer part of the circle.

Does your heater APPEAR to be "broken" because it won't turn on? Check that little red circle of levers.... in case for some reason they've been moved and the unit has turned itself off. You can easily put them back the way you want them.

Again, it's a brilliant little programming design! Very easy to understand. And it really is not subject to the kind of problems of things that you program digitally. As I said above, it's like a circle of "on/off" switches that you can control individually.

We're glad we've got the second one on the way!

This is a great heater. I like that it creates its own airflow without a fan the hot air just comes off the top as if there were a fan! I also love the timer function you can set the heater to be on or off in 15 minute segments all day long. I use this feature to have it warm up my bedroom so it's warm when I arrive home from work, just before bedtime, and also to warm up the room before I wake up, without having the heater run all night (it's a powerful little thing!). The air doesn't get dried out, but it circulates and becomes toasty warm. There is also three output settings (1,2, and 3), so you can really crank it up if you need some heat quickly, but keep it low for everyday use. I'm extremely pleased with this heater.

If you've got high ceilings or an area larger than 14x14 and expect this unit to heat, you're going to be disappointed. Also, as the previous review states, the heat rises from the top of the unit, which is about 2 1/2 feet off the ground. If you're prone to "cold feet" this unit is NOT for you.

There is no fan on this unit, so it's perfect for an office, baby's room or bedroom that always seems to be a bit chilly. If you have a large bathroom, this would be great to pre-set the attached 24 hour timer to come on an hour or so before you get up.

So if you want to heat a 12x12 or 12x14 room or smaller this unit will be fine. Just dont expect your legs and feet to be warm.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi TRV0715T Vento Hi-Speed Convection Oil-Filled Radiator

Before we bought this heater, we have been using a DeLonghi TRD0715T for more than two years. The TRD0715T has been working well but it has some problems too. For example, it sometimes gives noise if its position is not "right". It also smells if it is on the highest setting. Recently it started to have ticking noise from the timer. But overall, we have been very happy with its performance. So we bought the TRV0715T for our daughter's room. The TRV0715T is smaller in size, and much quieter. It doesn't have noticeable smell even on the highest setting. However, we feel it is not generating enough heat like TRD0715T, although they all are 1500 watts. We use the middle setting all the time because the current will be too high for our apartment if we use the highest setting. If you have a big room to heat up, I wouldn't recommend it to you.

Best space heater! Especially when you have babies and young children. I keep one in my master suit which is about 20x16. Whole upstairs is about 61 degrees when the suit is set at 70 during winter time. I feel better that I am not heating up the whole upstairs when I only need the heat in my suit. I also keep 2 of these in my finished basement which is about 40X15. Without the heater, basement is at around 58, with it 73 when set at medium setting. My baby can touch it and get startled, but never caused any scream or crying. I feel very safe and good about this heater. VERY EASY TO FIGURE OUT THE CONTROL!....well if you are used to setting outlet timers.

This product is basically 100% pressed wood with a paper simulated wood grain finish over it. Be ready to screww your azz off, because nowhere in the ad on amazon did it say anything about assembly required. This is "furniture in a box" many parts and many, many screws and fastener blocks. I was expecting this item to arrive ready to plug into the wall, NOPE!. 3 boxes and alot of parts. If not for my son who is a carpenter by trade offering to assemble this product for me, it would have been right back on the truck returning to the seller. if you decide to order this product or anything similar, I would recommend having a power screw driver available to make it easier and speed up assembly time. Also the assembly instructions could stand to be revised a bit.

I purchased this candle warmer to melt a lotion candle, but have since also used it to melt a normal wax candle. It works great! I've had it running continuously for several weeks. It keeps the room pleasantly scented without any of the risks of flame. Plus, the wax doesn't burn, so I think the candle will last much longer. I'm thinking of putting some of my other burned-down candles on the warmer to even them out. I know some reviewers didn't like that it took a long time to completely melt a large candle, but with a smaller one (the $1.99 Tindra candles from IKEA), I found it melts in less than half an hour.

I've tried a lot of things to keep my rooms scented (plug-ins, sprayers, etc.), and I think I'm sold on the candle warmer. It is a little consumptive, but most active room fragrance devices take power, so that is likely close to a wash. But with the candle warmer, I have a virtually endless number of scent choices at a wide range of prices, unlike a proprietary diffuser. I'm definitely planning on one for my office as well.

Honest reviews on Candle Warmers Etc. Original Candle Warmer

I purchased this guy for two reasons: I wanted to use it in our combined living/dining room area without having to light the candle and disperse smoke, but the scent of the candle doesn't travel far enough when using the warmer as opposed to lighting the candle. It does work well in smaller spaces. The second reason I bought the warmer was to use up the last of my Yankee candles to create my own layered candles. See idea here:

It's generally difficult to burn off the last bit of your candles because the liquified wax puts out the flame, so I loved the idea of creating my own layered candle using complimentary scents. I purchased these candle wicks on Amazon: Gelly Candle Wick & Anchors-9' Wick, 12 Anchors and together both products have worked great!

I absolutely love the Simply Automated product lineup. You will not find any other product that allows more customization and configuration options. The UPStart software makes it a breeze to set them up. I am slowly replacing every switch in my house with a Simply Automated UPB device. I currently have 28 devices and I'm about to buy my 29th. It's becoming an addiction. These devices are rock solid. I have never had one fail. I use them in conjunction with my HAI Omni IIe automation system. However, they also work great as a stand-alone system. If you plan to install a bunch of these as I have, I highly recommend some sort of whole-house surge suppressor.

This heater is a piece of crap..The element burn out quickly as attested to my many poor reviews on other sites. When it did work for three weeks, it was noisy. Used this to heat a room for my elderly incontinent dog and the heater just quit, like so many others have complained of. It also DOUBLED my electric bill when it did work. Guess I don't have to worry about that now. At least it did not shoot out sparks like some have said. NEVER buy this horrible product. Look at what this person said:This heater was the determined cause of my total loss house fire. I thought the company would atleast help me find some where else to live, they seem to care. But, as of lately they are doing nothing.

I am told this heater-(prh112008 modelpurchased at walmart for about $27.00)

Had wiring that wasn't up to standards

This heater looked nice and worked great for about 2 months. It then burned out. I opened it up and saw that two wires had melted on the heating coil. This is very risky and I am lucky it did not catch on fire. PAtton has sourced this heater to the cheapest bidder. CHINA makes mostly junk. This is junk. DONT BUY THIS HEATER.

I bought this at Walmart a few months ago for $40 (on sale). It got us through a mild winter, but after only 3 and a half months of occasional use it started spitting sparks and smoking, filling our apartment with a horrible burning plastic smell. I was really disappointed since we haven't even had it 4 months and didn't even use it all the time. Definitely not worth the money we paid for it.

So as a warning for anyone still willing to buy this: DO NOT LEAVE IT UNATTENDED, EVEN WHILE SLEEPING OR STEPPING OUTSIDE FOR A FEW MINUTES!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program GreatCo's 50" LED fireplace is a wonderful addition to my home. It gives off a great amount of heat, that can be controlled and put at various settings, and has warmed up a perpetually cold room. But more than that, this fireplace is just incredibly beautiful and really adds something special to the room. The rear back lighting creates a spectacular display and the 'fire' itself looks great, absolutely stunning. One minor drawback is that the instruction booklet wasn't as helpful as it could have been when mounting it, but other than that I am really impressed. If you are thinking of adding an electric fireplace to your home you should really consider GreatCo's fireplace. You will not be disappointed.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program When I hit the power button on the remote for the first time and this unit fired up, it lit up my bedroom and completely transformed the feel of the room. I felt I was in an expensive hotel room. I couldn't help but have a huge smile. I love it. The flames look real. The stones look like they are glowing orange hot. It's really surprising how real it looks. The unit is only about 5 inches deep, so it doesn't stick out far from the wall at all.

The box is quite large but I was able to move it by myself (about the size a 50 inch TV would come in). The unit is very well packed and protected. The unit is in two main pieces that are a lot easier to move and carry than the box. I carried each of the two pieces upstairs and leaned them against my bed. The instructions were straight forward except for the fact that they said to take the mounting bracket out of the box. My mounting bracket was screwed to the main firebox and had to be removed so I could mount it to the wall. This was a good way to package it, it just was different than what the instructions said. The mounting bracket was over 32 inches wide and has screw hole every couple inches. This allows you to position it to hit two wall studs. That is what I did. You can also use the included drywall wall anchors. I like to hit a stud whenever I can.

I made sure the mounting bracket was level and attached it to the wall with 4 screws (included). Once that is on the wall installation is super easy. The firebox fits onto slots/hooks on the mounting bracket. Just lift it on and it stays there. Then replace the two screws that held the firebox to the bracket on the bottom. This assures that it will not come off the wall. You also need to remove a small access panel on the bottom of the firebox and pull out the larger of the two wires. The smaller one is for an in the wall installation kit. The wire will extend through the hole in the access panel, so the panel can be put back on. Now you put the included two sets of stones along the bottom of the firebox on the little slanted shelf. There is a set of clear plastic like stones and a set of white real stones. On the first layer I put one white stone then one clear stone. This used up all the clear ones. Then I added a second row on top of the first of the white ones. The clear stones will pick up the orange light and glow orange hot like coals. Pretty cool.

Next the front glass panel fits on the firebox it fits into another set of slots. Push the bottom of the glass in and it will snap two pegs into spring loaded brackets. Almost done. Now stick your head under the unit and connect the wire coming out of the access panel to the one on the back of the glass panel. Finally plug her in and stand back. Hit the power button on the remote and watch your room be transformed.

The remote is awesome. On it you can:

Select 1 of 4 flame modes. Mostly the brightness changes. And yes the flames look real. I was really surprised.

Select 1 of 12 back light colors including one that cycles through all of them as well as off.

Select a timer to turn the unit off after x hours (variable number). A sleep function like on your TV.

Turn the heater on Level 1 (750 watts) Level 2 (1500 watts) and off. You do not need to run the heater.

Set the thermostat for the heater.

The remote has an LCD display.

Notes:

Installation was easy for me. I used a drill, screwdriver, level, and stud finder (battery one and long finishing nail to confirm).

The instructions refer to the mounting bracket as if it is loose in the box. Mine was screwed to the fire box and had to be removed so it could be mounted on the wall.

There looks to be an add on kit for mounting this fireplace in the wall.

The instructions say the unit needs 13 inches of space on the bottom and none on the sides and top. Bottom is due to the heater.

The heater on the high setting will use all the power on a standard household circuit, so be aware of that so you're not blowing the circuit breaker all the time.

The firebox has power and mode buttons on the side.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This fireplace works wonders on our mezzanine level of our converted loft home. The large second floor master-suite has about 450 sq. ft. but, does not have a radiator. This fireplace makes it toasty, there are two different heating levels to choose from. The flames look real and the ambient LED lighting looks great. installation is pretty straight forward, attach the bracket to the wall (first remove it from the fireplace), hang the main unit and attach the glass portion. Great addition to the room when adding a vented fireplace is not an option.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My box was delivered with a big dent in the front side where the glass was packed. When I opened the box, I fully expected the glass to be cracked or broken but it was perfect, which speaks highly for the shipping container.

I was thinking this would be the size of a 50" TV but it is a bit larger. The dimensions are 50" wide and 26" tall, which is probably the size of a 55" TV. It can be mounted on or recessed inside the wall. Personally, I would never build something like this into the wall because if it ever breaks or you get sick of it, you now have a huge hole in the wall. Fortunately, it is pretty slim (6" deep) so mounting it on the wall is perfectly fine.

The instructions are definitely lacking but fortunately, it is pretty straightforward to install. To install, you will need a drill, 1/8" drill bit, Philips screwdriver bit and preferably a level and stud finder. Also, you will need a few paper towels and glass cleaner to clean the glass front. Be sure to clean the inside of the glass before you mount it as it is quite dirty from shipping. A helper is recommended but you could install this yourself if need be. The unit is quite heavy but the weight is mainly due to the glass front. The firebox is separate and that is what you mount to the wall. Once you mount and level the box, you add the included clear and white stones to the bottom frame, then the glass front hangs over and attaches to the box with 4 hooks and snaps into the bottom. You must connect the backlight cable before you snap the bottom into place. There are two screws to lock it in place and you are done. I would strongly advise against using the wall anchors, as this weights about 70 lb. so be smart and bolt it to two studs with the 4 screws (included).

The glass front is elegant and the look of the flame is more realistic than other electric fireplaces I've seen. From across the room, it looks fairly realistic. Up close, it is not going to fool anyone but I've never seen an electric fireplace that would.

The remote has a temperature display, which defaults to degrees Celsius. After pressing the power button, you can hold the temperature button for 3 seconds to change it to Fahrenheit. The remote also controls the flame brightness (toggles between 3 levels), heater high or low, backlight color and timer. You can also turn heat and flame on and off from 2 buttons on the right side of the unit.

Overall, this is a nice fireplace. I think it is expensive for what you get but the front is a piece of solid glass so I'm sure that is a good part of the cost. I took a star off for the terrible instructions and the fact that the mounting bracket was different from what was shown in the instructions. Also, the bracket for mounting inside the wall was not included, although the instructions said it was. I doubt many people will mount this inside the wall anyway.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I was really intrigued by this, because I've never seen a wall-mount LED fireplace before. "Would it look like a TV? Would it heat like a fireplace?" the anticipation nearly killed me.

It showed up in a box that seemed to scream "I'm a 50" TV! STEAL ME!", though I happened to be home when it arrived. I was a bit surprised by how heavy it was -certainly heavier than a 50" LCD / LED television, arguably heavier than a similarly-sized plasma TV.

As far as looks go, I want to love this, and being an 80's kid, I absolutely do. It's like watching the Fire Channel on an HDTV, which reminds me of the old VHS aquarium tapes. The backlight is... prominent, making me want to fish out my old neon telephone, paint my walls turquoise and pink, and rock some Miami Vice: Season One. But therein lies a fairly serious problem. Even for contemporary style aficionados, it's hard to overcome the gadgety feel GreatCo seems to convey. And if you're not single and embracing your midlife crisis, you may find that your interior decorating committee objects to the style.

On the functional side, I was fairly impressed by how heat was radiating. It isn't like a fireplace, but it's less obvious than an electric space heater. Where it's just like an electric heater, is in the expense. Even with light usage, I noticed my electric bill climbing upwards.

In the right house with the right decor and the right person, you could pull this off. If you're not dead-on, you're going to find yourself stuck with a dangerously kitschy appliance that's expensive to run. Be careful, Crockett.
