Shipped extremely fast! Looks amazing, however is much smaller than I had anticipated. I had been hoping for the price for it to be bigger. Very warm! Heats room quickly! Downside is that if you can't fit it flush against the wall you will see the created fire "crackling" from behind it against your wall. Also I would recommend placing it on a hard floor or creating a hearth for it to stand on. Fireplace tilted forward on our plush carpet, had to adjust this by propping the front end with a few pieces of cardboard which is hardly noticeable, but not great for if you have little ones, as they can still easily pull it over onto themselves. Overall very pretty.

Discount WORLD MARKETING OF AM. HC451 DISC FURNACE HEATER

WORLD MARKETING OF AM. HC451 DISC FURNACE HEATER
Customer Ratings: 3 stars
Buy Now
I purchased this heater about three or four years ago. It has worked trouble-free since then. It is compact for easy storage when the weather is warm, and it works very well for heating a small to medium-sized room.

It has a cut-off switch, if it's accidentally turned over, and it has a variable heat knob with a thermostat. It is also possible to run the fan without any heat, for simple air-circulation -although my Vornado fan does a better job.

I must admit that if I had read a couple of the previous reviews of this product before I actually bought it, I might have been worried and maybe not have purchased it. But my heater has worked perfectly with many, many hours of continuous use. So, I highly recommend it.

As for company customer service, I have no idea because I haven't had to contact the company for any reason.

Just one person's experience. I hope this helps.

this little heater is not inexpensive to purchase but it works as well as those twice and even larger in size. The porcelain "chips /wafers" , whatever , serve as the heating element instead of wire resistors as in other plug-in fan type heaters and I have not compared electrical draw but it's small, quiet, and it heats a space like much larger heaters would. I am very pleased with the product and would buy another if I didn't live in such a small space. Perfect for instantly heating your bathroom and it also has a temperature setting so you can use it to regulate heat in your space just as you would any temperature controlled heating device.

This is absolutely one of THE best heaters ever! I purchased this heater last year and absolutely love it! Two things that I was looking for in a heater were a tip-over switch and a thermostat...and this heater has both of those things. The excellent customer service was a bonus. I had a few questions and called the 800 number and got a live person (something you can hardly get these days). I noticed that two people wrote that their heaters caught fire, but maybe they didn't clean the filter? It has a dust filter in the back that you have to clean every once in a while. Anyway, I love this heater and I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone!

Honest reviews on WORLD MARKETING OF AM. HC451 DISC FURNACE HEATER

I checked with the manufacture before returning this unit for credit. The heater is designed go to a low power output when the desired temperture is reached but not to turn off. I like to leave a heater on in a small office to keep the chill off some plants during cool nights and weekends. So I don't forget to turn it on I leave the heater power on and the thermostat set to turn the heater on when the room gets chilly. With this heater not turning off the room gets way to hot on a relitivly warm day. With people becoming more and more energy concious I can't believe a manufacture would design a heater that does not turn off when it is no longer needed for heat.

Very disappointed! The control knob for powering on/off/fan/heat broke after only a 7 weeks of use. Poor Pelonis customer service that do not respond to emails. Shipped the item back to Pelonis (about $10 USPS), and a replacement was shipped back, very poorly packaged--actually no packaging, just the flimsy cardboard box the heater comes in.

I bought this heater because I have an original Pelonis Disc furnace that is about 20 years old... not heavily used, but always worked great. My wife wanted a heater to keep her outdoor cats warm in the attached garage during the real cold periods of winter. So I looked for another Pelonis disc furnace as I wanted to still use my original in the basement, and the newer models seem to have additional 'safety' features.

While getting this one replaced, I purchased a HeatSafe HS-4025 ceramic heater that I like much better as it has a lower 1000W setting as well as the 1500 Watt setting. The Pelonis HC-451 only has 1500 watt, which will trip your circuit breaker if being used by other electric appliances.

And the HeatSafe was about half the price of the Pelonis HC-451.

Oh yeah! The best thing for keeping your outdoor cats warm (I'm allergic to furry animals, so they can NOT be in the house!) is a "Heated Kitty Pad". I bought 2 of these for my wife's cats, and they just love them !

I use the Air King 8605 to raise the room temperature of my bedroom from 60 degrees to 70 degrees. It works great! There's no fan, so it's noiseless. The upper grate does get hot. I can put my hand on it, without getting burned, but I'd avoid putting it anywhere where small children might touch it. It does put out over 5000 BTUs of heat when turned all the way up, so be prepared for your electric meter to spin.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I bought this timer for my garage, to keep my 2HP, 240V air compressor from coming on in the middle of the night when I forget to shut it off. Since the timer mechanism is sensitive to vibration, I had to mount it on the wall and NOT the compressor itself. I wired this single pole switch in one leg of the 240V circuit to save cost, and it works fine. It would have been better to use the 6-hour FF46H and switch both poles. It's a little tight in a standard small J-box; a deep one would offer more room for wires. It's too soon to tell how long the contacts will last in my application, but since I don't use it every day, it will probably outlive me.

Best Programmable thermostat TH140-28-01 Deals

Programmable thermostat TH140-28-01
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

For three years we have had two of these Aube 7-day units controlling two zones of radiant heat from an oil-fired boiler. We have been very happy with their trouble-free operation. I later purchased another brand that was on sale but found it was not as convenient as the two Aube units I was using. I then decided to purchase a third Aube TH140-28-01 thermostat, and I again find it the easiest to program and use, and again it is a thermostat that evenly controls the room temperature. This new Aube unit is working adjacent to another radiant zone's manual thermostat and is connected to an LPG 3-sided glassed fireplace. We keep the radiant zone at 67F. The digital thermostat comes on at 6 AM abd warms the open living area and kitchen zone to 72F and maintains that temperature until evening when the digital drops back to 64F, which then allows the radiant portion to keep the floors warmed at 67F through the night. My result has seen a true cost savings of more than $200 half way through our cold Maine heating season. We are now the most comfortable we have been in the past four years. I truly recommend this Aube thermostat. It is easy to program and install.... and it looks nice on the wall. Also, if I over-ride the program momentarily, I leave the door cover open as a reminder that I need to return it to its programmed control.

Cheap Honeywell Baseboard Heater, HZ-519

Honeywell Baseboard Heater, HZ-519
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
List Price: $99.99
Sale Price: $81.56
Today's Bonus: 18% Off

We needed a supplemental electric space heater for an unheated bedroom in our home that is occasionally used by guests. I selected this model over the Honeywell HZ515 because it has a screen to display the temperature instead of just a selector dial. We own one other electric heater that has a thermostat without a display, and it is much harder on that Delonghi unit for someone to set the temperature without consulting the manual. This heater is quite straightforward to operate in comparison.

If you simply push the power button, the unit will come on at full power and keep heating at full power until you turn it off again.

If you push the power button and then use the upand down-arrow buttons, you can select a temperature (in Fahrenheit or Celsius) that the unit will attempt to maintain (up to its 1500 W capacity) until you turn it off.

If you push power, then use the arrows to select a temperature, and then push the timer button (and use the arrows to increase/decrease the amount of time), the heater will run as much as needed to keep the heat to the pre-selected temperature for the amount of time you've selected. I believe the maximum is 10 hours--enough for overnight use.

For me, this offers some extra peace of mind. I can set this heater for a guest (or tell them how to do it) and not feel the need to check up on them in the morning to be sure the heater has been turned off.

Two other features on this heater are superior to those on my Delonghi Mica Panel heater:

* the Honeywell HZ519 has a 5 year warranty (vs. Delonghi's 1 year)

* the Honeywell HZ519 has a three prong power cord (vs. Delonghi's 2 prong plug)

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I own five of these, and heat my home with them (and five upright oil-filled types).

Pros: usually safe to touch, non-electronic glowing badge-type overheat indicator, timer, quiet, five-year warrantee, great flexible 16-gage 3-wire cord (stays cool), appears to be of highest quality, inexpensive.

Cons: Although there is a bright bulb indicating the unit is on, the LCD panel is unlit by it, so you can't check the indicator easily when it is dark. This is important, because the heaters sometimes reset themselves to maximum, so you need to look at the panel repeatedly during the night.

The timer only works for shut-off, not for timed turn-on, so you can't use it for programmed heating, such as warming up for the morning, or warming up for return in the afternoon.

Timer and temp settings are lost when powered off (no back-up battery or constant power to the panel from the plug).

Temp settings unpredictably reset to maximum, so you can't leave these heaters on unattended (for instance, to keep the house above freezing when going out for the day or a weekend). You may come back to a house at 80 degrees, at great electric expense.

To repeat, on all five of my units, if I have them set at some lower temperature, say, sixty-five degrees, I may come back some time later to find it at eighty degrees. So I must constantly go around checking them.

On one of the five units the tilt switch burned out. Not from being tilted, just from being on for a few months.

Many of the high-raters of this heater mention these same problems, but don't consider them as bad as I do. That is probably because they don't use the heaters as much as I do.

Many of the low-raters of this heater don't understand that all 1500 watt heaters put out the same amount of heat, and don't understand that a thermometer near the heating element is bound to read higher than one across the room, and don't understand that a convection heater is bound to be slower than, but ultimately equal or superior to, a fan-forced or radiant heater of the same wattage. Oil convection heaters are even slower, since the oil has to heat up first. Radiant heaters lose heat out the window if pointed at an unshaded window. There is a theory that radiant heat is equivalently comfortable at lower power use. Fan-forced heaters' fans will eventually fail, sometimes causing a fire.

Some reviewers mention the poor instructions, and how important they are. Much better instructions are available online. The controls are not obvious; you are sure to misuse them if you don't have the online instructions. Basically: to set the temperature, turn the unit off, turn it on, press the Temp button, use the up/down buttons to set the temperature, and then don't touch it again. If you subsequently touch any button it will reset to maximum. At first the indicator will show what temperature you have set it to try to get up to. After a while, the indicator will show the actual temperature at the unit you can no longer check the temperature it is attempting to attain. Ignore the fan icon: there is no fan. If the clock icon appears (unintentionally), you have double-clicked, and must start over. The thermometer icon shows you have set the temperature. When the temperature blinks, it has attained the goal you set.

This heater really heats up a room in a hurry. To provide some context, my kitchen is in the vicinity of 120 square feet, and it only takes 5 minutes or so to heat up after turning this heater on. As advertised, it is indeed silent. And even when first turning it on, it didn't emit that nasty new-heater smell. This heater is a great value and I'm glad I bought it.

Honest reviews on Honeywell Baseboard Heater, HZ-519

I've had one of these heaters for a couple years and it has worked well for occasional use & I've been quite happy with it. So, last week when I saw them for sale at Home Depot I picked another one up. I used it for a couple days, turning it on during the day and off at night. Then one morning I went to turn it on and was surprised to find the unit was hot. Even though it was powered off and the display was off the unit was still heating. I unplugged it and tried again later with the same result. I don't know if this a common problem, but you may want to make sure yours is working OK.

Thankfully I was able to return the defective heater to the store I bought it. But my experience with this heater and a previous experience with defective Honeywell humidifiers makes me wonder if Honeywell's quality no longer lives up to their reputation. And their support company, Kaz, leaves very much to be desired in regard to customer service.

If I had no concerns about the safety and reliability of this heater, I would give it 5 stars, but unfortunately that is not the case.

Moved into a new place that didn't have central heating, got rather cold at night and in the morning so I searched for an electric heater. Never bought one before, but I came across this one and purchased it. Very happy with the purchase, it is dead silent, heats a rather large bedroom well and keeps it warm through the night so I am not freezing in the morning. Has great options, you can leave it on and just constantly running or set it at a certain temperature and it will turn it self off when it reaches that temp. I would recommend this to someone who is looking for a reliable, silent heater for a decent sized room.

Cheap Avani

Avani Portable Bio Ethanol Fireplace Finish: Black
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
I bought this last week with the intention of only using it when guests came over. Well that went out the window as soon as I got it home. It's so warm! It really takes the cold bite out of the australian winter air.

It warms the living room up much faster than the TWO fan heaters we were running put together. The flame certainly doesn't dissapoint. If anything the videos don't do it justice. At full blast the flames are bright yellow and climb up about 30-50cm from the base (you can turn it down as you please). Plenty enough to light the room and put on a good show.

At the moment the only complaint is trying to figure out the ''scent channel'' feature. Basically under the slider cover they've knocked a big dent in the metal where you can drip in some girly scented oils etc.

The problem? If you leave the dent uncovered the oils instantly catch fire, if you cover it they don't evaporate properly and you end up with a burnt brown mess under the cover when you slide it back. I've emailed the company, I'll let you all know what they say.

Still giving it five stars for performing better than imagined in every other respect. Can't believe there isn't one of these in every home.

If you'd seen it work, you'd want one.

I purchased this about a month ago and have been using it almost daily ever since. The winters here in South Florida don't last much longer than this month so I'm using it while I can. It burns clean with no soot,smoke, or odors and can heat a medium size room several degrees in a fairly short period of time. The fireplace is well built and very heavy and has inside the burner a ceramic cloth that controls the usual flareup when you first light it. The liquid ethanol fuel (unlike alcohol gel fuel) lasts forever in storage and is easy to store since it stores at any temperature. The flames are bright yellow and quite lively which again is much better than gel fuel fireplaces. Overall the unit is high quality, thick, stainless steel and I think well worth the money.

Honest reviews on Comfort Zone® Mini Fireplace CZFP1

I wanted a small electric fireplace to install in my renovated Classic Shasta LoFlyte travel trailer however, the models I found had displays that were too large and they came in large prebuilt cabinets. During my web search I stumbled across the Comfort Zone space heater/electric fireplace for a great price. It turns out my next door neighbor had one so I checked the dimensions and checked out the fireplace function and was sold.

Once I received the unit I built a faux fireplace cabinet to place it in complete with a faux river rock face and hearth and a maple mantle, it fits perfectly in the rear of the trailer between the couch and dinette and looks and works great. The only thing missing was the fireplace sound so... I downloaded an hour of real fireplace recording onto my Android phone and installed 2 powered PC speakers in the cabinet and Presto! I have the look and sound of a real fireplace. Even if you're just buying it for the heater function alone... this is an attractive unit at a great price!

Anyone that's ever been to a Mexican-themed restaurant knows exactly what this item is. This particular one is fairly large and will hold my home-made 8" tortillas nicely. With a damp washcloth (folded twice) and a layer of wax paper on the bottom it will easily hold a dozen home-made 8" tortillas. To reheat tortillas just place the container with the washcloth, wax paper and tortillas into a microwave for 30 seconds to two minutes. (Amount of time depends on: number of tortillas, how cold the whole container is to begin with, and dampness of the washcloth.) Also keeps my tortillas in the refrigerator nicely for a surprisingly-long amount of time.

This thing is good at keeping tortillas warm, but it's not deep enough for a batch of homemade tortillas. It will hold two 10 packs of store-bought tortillas that are thin, but the homemade tortillas, which I can never get as thin as store-bought, keep the lid ajar. The container is deep enough, but the bottom of the lid has a "dip" in it that presses against the tortillas and keeps the lid from closing tightly. What a shame. I guess I'll be purchasing the larger warmer.

With tortillas getting expensive AND being filled with hydrogenated vegetable oils, I finally found a SOFT tortilla recipe that I can easily roll out with a rolling pin. It's 3 cups of self-rising flour, 1 cup of warm milk and 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix it into a ball by hand or in a food processor. I don't even have to let them sit for 20 minutes. Just divide into 12 balls, lay a damp paper towel over them as you roll each out (roll from the center out) and then cook for about 30 seconds per side in a skillet. Other tortilla recipes were difficult to roll out and tasted hard like crackers.

Honest reviews on IMUSA MEXI-1000-TORTW Tortilla Warmer Microwave Safe Base BPA-Free

There are already several reviews which point out the advantages of this product. It keeps your freshly made tortillas warm at the table and lets you reheat the leftovers in the microwave if you have them later. Just include a wet cloth or paper towel to make some steam so that they don't dry out when they're reheated.

Several reviews have complained about the packaging and the difficulty of getting the glue from the label off the outside of the tortilla warmer once the label is removed.

I just bought one of these here at Amazon, and the good news is that in addition to being useful in the ways already noted, the label was not glued on. The tortilla warmer I received came packaged in a cardboard sleeve which simply slid off. Great!

Great product, made in China like everything else, but what's up with the adhesive label covering half of one side. Tried soaking it in hot water, dish detergent, used the back end of a butter knife but NOTHING gets that label off without leaving an adhesice mess behind. Even using Goo Gone (a citrus solvent) it took a good five minutes of aggressive peeling and fingernail work to get it cleaned up. This was completely UNECESSARY! Wake up, Imusa, get a sticker that peels off please!
