I bought one of these close to ten years ago and it's still going strong, though I've taken it on three cross-country trips, countless weekend getaways and even to Guatemala.

Why? First, I don't like using hotel/motel coffee units -who knows how clean their innards are? This holds more liquid, is easy to clean, and I know where it's been!

Second, it's useful for more than just heating water. I once took my daughter to a nice Disneyland hotel for four days, and did all our cooking in this little pot because food was so pricey. I heated soup, ramen, veggies, all kinds of things... and we actually ate well (though simply) the whole time.

Other reviewers have noted that it doesn't have auto shut-off. That's a good point, and it's a bit of a pain, particularly when you're as forgetful as I am. But the water always boils loudly enough that I hear it. Could be a problem in everyday use if you are wandering from room to room; fine for a motel.

The flip side is being able to adjust the heat level, which I don't think you could do if the unit shut off automatically. I've found that VERY handy for things that need a gentle heat, and use that feature a lot.

Power cord is frustratingly short, but necessarily so for safety reasons.

Naturally, anything that holds 32 oz. of water is a little bulky, but when I put it in my suitcase I just jam socks and breakables into it, so it ends up taking less room than you'd think. You can snap the top off, which is also a help when packing it. It's fairly lightweight.

The reason I'm back at this page is that my daughter just went to college and took the pot with her. I need a replacement for my travels without her! I was amazed to find the same pot is still being sold after all these years. That's probably a good sign about its quality in an era when things get redesigned every year.

At this price, if it lasted a year or two of steady use, I think I'd still be happy.

At my workplace we have no hot water dispenser. Before this, I was resorting to microwaving a mug of hot water. I was recommended this device as a tool for shaving, but I found that it got the water a little too hot for my shaving needs. I took it into work and have been loving the thing ever since. In the time it takes me to clean a spoon in the sink and get yogurt out of the fridge, the water is hot enough for tea. The exterior stays quite cool and can be picked up and touched immediately even when the water inside is scalding hot. I've even boiled milk, water, and black tea together in this unit without problems. Cleans quite easily.

What a well-spent $12 this has turned out to be.

I love this little pot! It boils water and cooks everything very fast!! I have one at home and one for my travels. This little hot pot is terrific when one is away from home and has no kitchen. The non-stick bottom makes this pot a breeze to clean up! I have dietary restrictions and can not go out and "grab a bite" like most other people, when I am not near my house. I especially recommend this pot to anyone who may suffer the same problem as me. I would be lost without this pot, when I need to be away from home. :-)

Honest reviews on Rival 4071-WN 32-Ounce Hot Pot Express, White

I bought two of these for 8.99 on amazon and generally, they are OK. I drink a lot of green tea, and by reading the description, I thought it kept your water at a desired temp/setting. It seems it keeps hot by cycling on and off, which is ok, but your water may not be the same temperature, which is important if you are making green tea. Also, I left some water in it and the next day there was a large rust stain. It easily washed off, but I didnt particularly like the idea of drinking rusty water. The high setting really boils hard, and the low setting keeps the water warm. Generally, I got my 9 dollars worth

Having one through all the reviews, I'd discovered why I feel so many people have given this hot pot 5 star reviews. Most of then are years old, stemming from 2003, etc. The reviews that are more recent are from people saying that they've had their Rival pot for years.

It appears that many of the design problems are in more recent models (from the past few years) the rust, the plastic taste, the leaking....

It is entirely possible that this Rival pot used to be of amazing quality and incredibly durable, but you know what they say... Some things ain't what they used to be.

I bought this little guy because it was the same price as similarly specced machines, and it had the lowest wattage setting of them all (600W/1200W on LOW/HI respectively).

Pros:

It heats my little 10x10 bedroom super fast. Because it is a lower wattage, I do have it plugged into an extension cord, and have not noticed any weird behavior. Both the heater plug and extension cord plug are cool to the touch after two hours of running the machine, which is about all I ever run it for anyway. The back, sides and bottom of the machine also say cool to the touch (at least on the low setting), which puts me at ease having is only 1ft from the wall in a corner of my little room. It is also quiet enough that I can watch TV and listen to music at pretty conservative volumes (I have roommates and like to watch TV in bed at night w/ this heater running).

Cons:

I was just looking at the unit and noticed the sticker on the bottom says the wattage is 800W/1200W... which is an extra 200W on the lower setting than advertised on both the box and on the site. This is a little disappointing, but not a total deal breaker. Also, the unit does not have any safety features (that I can see). It does not have tip-over protection, which leads me to believe it probably doesn't ahve overheat protection either... I can't be sure on this, but a quick skim of the brochure it came with didn't really tell me much.

Over, a decent heater if you don't plan to leave it running all the time while unattended; and if the 800W low setting isn't a deal breaker. It would be nice if that spec was changed on both the box and the site.

Wow this thing really cranks out some serious heat. It uses less energy than most ceramic heaters and is very stylish. I leave it on low and am wowed by its ability to heat a room up. The build quality is second to none. I love that it has a quality dust filter on back that will make for easy cleaning. My only complaint would be that the front grill get super hot making it difficult to pick up when it is on. If they made a little handle or recess in the back to help protect your fingers it would get 5 stars hands down!!!

Amazon carries another heater by the same maker as this one, it is the "Crane EE-6353 Space Heater 600/1200 Watt". The Product Features and Details seem to be switched on these two. At least this is my assumption; check them both out and you will probably agree.

For instance, the larger one is probably the one that is 20" tall, and the smaller one 8.6" tall. Another important difference: the smaller one probably does not come with a remote, but the larger one probably does.

I have several space heaters, this little guy I picked up for work because of it's small size and it looked slick. It is tough and definitely worth the cost, I've never needed to turn it to high as it puts out a ton of heat on the low setting.

The outside silver metal part stays cool to the touch which is very nice. I can rest my bare feet on the top of it and let it heat my underside.

Cons: I do kick it over often and it DOES NOT TURN OFF when it falls over. This could be a serious hazard for some. Our warehouse is cement with steel cable drops so not a big issue for me but someone on carpet... yikes.

Best Great Northern Popcorn 6035 Antique Style Popcorn Machine Deals

I purchased this machine to use in a high school concession booth. We use it about 8-10 evenings per year, popping corn continually for 2 hours each evening. I researched popcorn machines for a long time before I chose this model. No other machine in this price range was recommended for this kind of use. We have had the machine for 2 years and it has performed beautifully during that time. It is very easy to use. When we use the Great Northern corn in pre-measured packages (oil, corn and salt) ANYONE can learn to use the popper in just a few minutes and the results are perfect every time. In the concession stand I use the 8-ounce packages of corn. Most of the other machines I researched would not hold that much corn, so I can make lots more popcorn in each batch with this equipment. The popper is sturdy, easy to clean and easy to maintain. Only problem is that I have to bring the machine home after every event because my family is hooked on the popcorn and will not eat any other kind. When we use it at home I use the smaller (6 ounce) pre-measured corn packages.

We have had our Paducah 8 Ounce Antique Popcorn Machine and Cart for about 7 months now and we use it weekly, if not more. It is easy to use and makes wonderful popcorn. Fresh popped popcorn from a machine is sooooo much better than that microwaved stuff. Every batch of popcorn that we have made has turned out wonderfully and the machine does it all. We just turn it on and pour in the oil and popcorn and it does all of the work. We would purchase this machine again in an instant. It also has easy cleanup. The popping pot comes right out for clean up and the tray in the bottom of the base makes cleaning up the un-popped kernels a breeze, although there are very few unpopped kernels. I would highly recommend this popcorn machine. We have also used the 6 oz and the 4 oz packets of popcorn from Great American Popcorn and recommend those too.

We ordered this for use in our home theater and it's replacing a Nostalgia Electrics Popcorn Cart we've had for the last six years. (Bought on a whim, with basically no research, from Sam's Club.)

We've enjoyed the Nostalgia cart, and use it fairly regularly (2-3 times/month). In the last six months or so, we've been getting quite a lot of unpopped kernels--up to half from every batch--and after changing popcorn a couple times, began to feel the unit wasn't properly heating and started looking for a replacement. After doing quite a bit of research this time out, we settled on the Great Northern carts as having the best mix of quality--larger capacity, metal gears and upgraded heating/cooking elements--and price. Not quite a true commercial unit, they also didn't have the commercial price tag. (And, honestly, we didn't need a commercial unit for home use.)

We settled on the Paducah cart, specifically, due to the picture/description here that showed the braided metal cord that screwed into the top of the cart, vs the standard three-prong outlet plug most carts employ. (As I write this, the close-up interior picture--second in the product image gallery--shows this quite clearly.) Since we had trouble with out previous unit's cord becoming loose and falling out easily over time, this seemed like a huge bonus, and something usually only found on those truly professional, commercial popcorn carts. Thus, we were pretty disappointed to discover upon arrival that this does NOT have the metal-covered cord OR the screw-in mechanism clearly pictured but, instead, uses the standard black plastic, three-prong cord, just as prone to falling/wiggling out as they inevitably become looser over time as the kettle is plugged/unplugged repeatedly. If basing on looks alone, or just going for the least expensive Great Northern cart popper, we likely would have gone with another unit. So, on that note, I'm fairly disappointed. When buying online, where you can't touch or inspect your item prior to purchase, you relay on the text description and photographs being 100% accurate, which was not the case here.

But, that mis-direct aside, this unit does work well. Assembly was straightforward and all the parts arrived undamaged. Once all together, which took even my non-handy self only about 40 minutes, including unboxing and moving it into place, the kettle heated quickly and I was able to pop two batches of popcorn in under 10 minutes. The corn itself popped up light and fluffy (almost no dead soldiers) and was quite tasty. Additionally, the unit was able to keep the extras warm and fresh for up to two hours after the initial pop, with a heating element far superior to what our old cart boasted.

The double glass doors make access to the popped corn easy (our old unit had one large swinging door, made out of plastic) and the stainless steel handles are also a nice, easy to grasp with buttery fingers, touch.

We found our usual popcorn method/"recipe," developed over the years, works well with this unit as well. Because I don't like the undeniably easy, but too-filled-with-fake-stuff, pre-made portion packs (see: Great Northern Popcorn, 8-Ounce Portion Packs), I keep Canola or Sunflower oil in a squeeze bottle, along with high quality bulk popcorn and popcorn salt, all in the cart, ready to go. Squirt the oil in (you need just enough to cover the bottom of the kettle), wait till it smokes, then toss in the popcorn--the cart comes with a pre-measured scoop. Once popped, dump and salt. After the corn is popped we put, roughly, 2T of real butter in the hot kettle to melt and then dump it over the popcorn and toss. (HINT: Hold the kettle lid closed and only the melted butter will pour out, keeping it from burning and/or dumping unmelted butter chunks on your popcorn.) We've found this method produces great, real buttered popcorn, that tastes far better than any movie theatre makes with no fake, chemical ingredients. (If you want "movie theater" taste, use the portion packs, but be aware you're also getting a much higher calorie and sodium count snack.)

For clean-up, we rinse (do not immerse) the kettle with water and wipe out with paper towels, and use a food-safe vinegar-water solution to wipe out the rest of the unit, and clean any smudges on the glass. It usually takes us less than 10 minutes. Every few months, we'll use Gold Medal Prod. 2095 Popcorn Kettle Cleaner on the kettle, which gets it looking as good as new.

If not for the deceptive photo that lead us to believe we were getting something we did not, I'd give the unit 4 stars. With that error though, I can't go higher than 3.

Honest reviews on Great Northern Popcorn 6035 Antique Style Popcorn Machine

This popcorn machine is just what the doctor ordered. Great popcorn, easy to make, and fun to eat.

The machine arrived just days after my ordering it. There was some assembly required and the directions were clear. After a good scrub down the popping began. The popper bowl has capacity for 8 oz. but you can use smaller packages if you want.

Clean-up is not too bad either. It will take awhile to wipe down the insides and you must disassemble the popper from the enclosure to give it a through washing.

The popper works great and we all enjoy the flavor of the fresh popped corn, just like the stuff served in the theaters only hot!

Purchased this machine after being in the Popcorn Machine market for what seemed like 3 years.. I tried every type of popcorn maker in these 3 years, and I'd always had my eye on one of these Commercial "looking" models.. Well when I saw the deal from Discount Tommy on this one I just couldn't pass it up!! Just recieved the unit yesterday and after 2-3 batches of excellent popcorn later, I am Impressed!!! I read a couple of reviews about broken power switches, and kettles being dead on arrival, but I had none of those issues, especially since the one I purchases was a factory return w/ I got at a deep discount!!! Clean up for me is not exactly as easy as everyone says, I mean you can reach in a wipe down the glass, but there is small channel between the glass panes where small piece of corn & Hulls accumlilate that prove to be be a problem whilst cleaning. Not a deal breaker, but I'm abit OCD' ish!!!! Kids love it, I love it & Mama loves it, I would definately recommend this machine to anyone thats in the market!!!

Best Hunter 44760 Multi-Stage Heat Pump Thermostat Deals

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this thermostat because I like the programmable setback features as well as the ability to see how long the system has ran in a given day. However, during the heating season my heat bill almost doubled. I had HVAC techs out 4 times, under warranty thankfully, to check the heat pump and they kept saying it was ok. Finally the last guy who came out determined it was the thermostat. The thermostat will run the heat pump for 15mins (this is preprogrammed and NOT changeable). If it hasn't reached its set point within that time it brings in Aux heat until it reaches its set point. When it's cold you're almost always running on Aux heat. For me that was electric and you can imagine the bills. I have since went with a thermostat that has Adaptive Intelligence (Honeywell) that will only bring in Aux heat when needed based on an internal calculation. The Adapative Intelligence thermostats will also shut off the Aux heat when it gets close enough to the set point that the thermostat knows the heat pump can do the rest. This Hunter thermostat works great for A/C, just not for heat with electric backup (Aux).

I bought this thermostat a couple of weeks ago; it has been working well so far and has plenty of bells and whistles. Installation was fairly straight-forward; the instructions were a bit unclear, but one call to their support staff took care of that problem. This unit seems pricy when compared to other thermostats, but it was the only one that I could find for a multi-state heat pump system. But since I was able to install it myself, and it has been working well since then, I'm not particularly unhappy about the price.

We got the thermostat for its programmability and the way it switches between heat and air. All those are great. BUT when the heat does run, the auxillary heat kicks on EVERY TIME. I have spent more time than I care to admit on the phone with tech support, then I found the review that explains that it is what this one does... in an electric heat pump, auxillary heat is VERY EXPENSIVE. So much for the energy star! We have purchased another...Our heat system had NEVER had its auxillary heat on in its four year life. We've replaced it and returned it. I'm watching for my electricity bill and worried...

We had previously installed a regular programmable thermostat for a standard system. Unfortunately we found out two years (too late) later that if you use a regular programmable thermostat with a heat pump system then you never actually use the heat pump in the winter you always run off of emergency heat which uses a ton of electricity and runs up the electric bill big time! We've since installed this unit and it works excellent. There are so many programmable features I don't even know where to start! This is an exceptional unit for the price you won't be dissatisfied!

This warmer works very well in the "warming" department, but before purchasing, be aware of the following:

the cord is very short, so you will probably need an extension cord.

the on/off switch is located half way down the cord, so you have to reach for it a bit... It would be much better if the on/off switch was on the warmer unit itself.

the bottom "feet" are made of hard plastic, so it "slides" on hard surfaces and can scratch your furniture. It would be much better if it had rubber feet.

Other than that, it's a nice product.

I read a ton of reviews for all the different cup warmers. None of them seemed to work. This one does. The drinks stay hot, but not as hot as when they were first brewed, of course. At least they aren't lukewarm. The cup gets hot too so be careful. I even use it for my 32 oz Bodum press tea pot. I set the pot right on the burner and my tea stays warm enough to enjoy for hours not scalding, but between warm and hot.

You have to start with hot liquid. It will not heat cold or lukewarm drinks. The bottom of the cup has to fit flat on the hot plate. Without full contact, you will lose the heat. A super thick cup won't keep the liquid as hot as a thinner one. I tried my 3/8" thick glass latte cup, but it stayed only lukewarm. My regular cermaic and glass coffee and tea mugs work perfectly. The wider the bottom of the cup, the better. A pedastle cup has less surface contact so less heat is transferred to the cup.

There's an on and off roller switch on the cord itself. It seems some other models don't offer that feature. I also like the chunky "marble texture" look of this one. The seller (not amazon) delivered very fast too (less than a week). I'm very satisfied.

I could not be happier with this coffee warmer. my old one at 9 watts (stated on bottom of product) had coffee getting cold after one hour. this 24 watt warmer keeps coffee hot but not scolding, and for at least 4+ hours, which is as long as I've used it so far. Plus I love the on/off switch on the plug opposed to on the stand. When on the stand, a little spilt coffee will highly affect the on/off button operation, not on the plug though! The base is wide too, I can fit my wide 18 oz mug on the warmer with room to spare. I love and highly recommend this product for anyone wanting to keep a beverage hot for hours and hours.

The product is advertised with a 3.75" diameter heated surface. That is why I ordered it, since I do have other cup warmers, but I have some mugs with wide bases that do not fit on them. To my disappointment, it is not as advertised the warming surface is 3.5" across the entire black (heated) part, and only 3.25" across the flat USABLE part of the heated surface. I would have returned it, but it was so cheap the cost of returning it would be about 1/2 the cost of the refund. So it is in the closet as a replacement for when one of my other mug warmers wears out and I'm very disappointed.

This is a very basic double pole line voltage thermostat. I rated it 4 stars because it lacks a thermometer or a temperature adjustment. Also, you have to follow the installation instructions carefully because both red wires go to line and the black to load rather than matching the wire colors in the box. I bought this to replace a top-of-the-line Honeywell which burned out in two years. Line voltage thermostats are becoming harder to find so I felt fortunate to find this one at a reasonable price.

Just purchased this (Lowe's $38) and used it last night. I've used various (all ceramic) models over the years and was very pleased with this one planned to return to Lowe's for a second unit and was checking prices on Amazon. Will now be exchanging it for the tower version of this model (didn't realize it featured a multi-function remote) which received great reviews here. The oscillator works well (90 degrees side to side).

NOTE: despite the claim here of an internal tip-over switch (not stated on the carton) this unit will not shut off until the overheat sensor activates. I did not wait for that to occur as I tipped the running unit over backwards, forwards and each side the only difference was reduced air output on its back (since the carpet was blocking the fan's air input) and higher temp setting when tipped forward (as the temp+ button contacted the carpet).

Bottom Line: had I not found a more desirable alternative, or preferred a shorter unit, I would have purchased a second identical unit and been quite satisfied (although careful to reduce tip-over risk).

I ordered this product because it has Energy Star and ECO Energy setting. It also has a remote so when I'm ready to turn off the light to go to sleep I can simply turn it off without getting up again.

I have even used these fans when it gets to hot in the summer to help cool the house. I can't think of anything bad to write about these fans. They are quiet, durable, hardly noticeable when mounted. These fans are well worth the money paid up front. For the length of time they last, the cost is cheap. I would recommend these to anyone interested in wanting to buy a fan to help circulate the heat down your halls and into the other rooms in your house.

Best Deals for Hi-Tek Oak Ridge Circulating Fan System

We've had five of the Oak Ridge circulating fans over the years. Unfortunately, they don't last more than two years before they slow down and then stop altogether. We have a pellet stove and I'm assuming that it's dust from the stove that gums it up (I'm not sure why because the fan is located about 25 feet from the stove). I can't find any way of disassembling the unit to clean/lube it. I've tried forced air and electrical contact cleaner and neither freed it up. Why have we bought 4-5 of them? All but one unit has been exceptionally quiet and they run great until they seize up. At $40 a pop, it's a little expensive, but we haven't found a quieter unit on the market. If we do, we'll see if it can hold up longer than the Oak Ridge. Our latest fan started slowing down the other night and now it has stopped altogether. NOTE: The one unit that was noisy still runs, so we usually use it until we buy a new one.

Honest reviews on Hi-Tek Oak Ridge Circulating Fan System

The fan feels heavy and sturdy. It is quiet and moves a lot of air. Our wood stove is in the basement and we have two upper floors. It raised the temperature upstairs by several degrees. We run it constantly and we hardly notice the noise. We are happy with the product.

Update:

We ran the fan now constantly for about 4 month, all winter long. It has been going day and night with no problems. Still very happy with it.

This is a good little fan. Easy to mount and has a switch. In a perfect world I'd like to have a white cord. It moves the air well but, it is not quiet. In reality, any fan that is that small and moving 55 cfm is going to make noise. You just can't expect it to be quiet. It raised the temp in my far hallway by 5 degrees and that's what I wanted. Good product.
