I am very pleased with this heater. It has one or two quirks that I didn't expect (hence the 4.5 stars), but it puts out a terrific amount of heat, looks great and was a real bargain Amazon is the best.

What I didn't expect:

* It's much larger than I expected. My impression based on the pictures I could find was that it was much smaller, but be prepared for a sizeable heater;

* Contrary to the description, it doesn't have a digital temperature readout. I was a little annoyed at first, but then most temperature gauges don't work well anyway, and I heat the room to feel comfortable and not to a specific temperature, so this doesn't matter much to me now;

* The thermostat works differently than I expected. The unit puts out a constant amount of heat, regardless of the setting, but the higher thermostat settings make the unit run until the room is hotter before it shuts off, which works fine;

* I run my heater on a 40 lb. propane bottle. If you plan to run on a bottle, be prepared to buy a pressure regulator, hose and some fittings. Oddly, I couldn't find the right combination from Mr. Heater, but did buy the Red Dragon kit on Amazon, which works well. The only other fitting I needed was an adapter from 3/8" NPT to 3/8" flare, which was only $3 at the local hardware store;

* I read reviews elsewhere that the internal fan is quiet. I like the fact that it has the fan, but find it a bit noisy to my taste. Since I have a vaulted ceiling and ceiling fans, I will rarely use the internal fan. It seems to work fine without it and runs almost silently, which is very nice.

Overall, a real deal in my opinion that suits my needs almost perfectly.

August 2011 Update: A few more observations after using the heater for a while:

* we can smell the byproducts of combustion in the room when we use this heater. This is not surprising since the combustion gases are vented into the room. As a result, we use it sparingly (usually just to warm the room) since the smell can be unpleasant, and undoubtedly isn't good for your health if used extensively;

* burning propane relases a fair bit of water vapour into the room, so we get condensation on the windows. Again, this is not a surprise;

* this heater is certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), which is one of the reasons I bought it. However, the CSA approval is only for use in the USA; these types of unvented heaters are not approved for use in Canada;

* I did some reading online about unvented heaters (sadly after I bought this unit). Anyone interested in buying unvented heaters would do well to read up about the pros and cons before buying.

Ordered the heater back in May of 2012. A licensed plumber (certified in propane) installed the 16 feet of propane line. My jaw dropped when I got his bill: $400.05 -did he really need to include that nickel? The heater cost me $179.95 and I see that it is now going for $239.95. You might want to purchase it off season.

I hooked up the heater to a 15 gallon propane tank and connected the line to the tank using a Mr. Heater 5-Feet Propane Hose/Regulator Assembly. It says right on the regulator, "LOW PRESSURE." ***BE SURE YOUR REGULATOR CAN DELIVER LOW PRESSURE (i.e., it may be a hose rated for high pressure that you can turn down, but you need to run low pressure into the heater or it can damage it. I didn't want to take that chance of any faulty guesswork, so I purchased the hose that had the words "LOW PRESSURE" stamped right on the regulator).

11/07/2012 -EDIT: I wish I had seen this before I bought the other hose hookup. I would have purchased it: Red Dragon SL-1C Low Pressure Propane Hook Up Kit With 10-Foot Hose. Just copy and paste it into the search bar and see what you think.

The instructions tell you to put the control knob on "Pilot" and then press it down (push on it straight down, toward the floor) and hold it for 30 seconds if this is the first time you're using it. Boy, were they ever wrong. First of all, it depends on how long your line is from the tank. My 16 foot run took about 3 minutes to get gas to the pilot light! So, be patient and don't do what I did -wasted some of my AA battery by clicking the igniter constantly for about 30 seconds before I realized what was happening. Just keep holding that big knob down in the Pilot position and then try the igniter every 15 seconds or so until it flames. Once that flame starts, they say to continue depressing the knob for another 30 seconds. Well, that's a bunch of bull crap. You can take your hand off after 6 seconds. Count 'em. The flame will not blow out the pilot once 6 seconds have ticked by.

Our house is 1,727 sq ft. We keep all three bedroom doors, the guest bathroom door and the laundry room door, closed. I'm guessing we're heating around 1,100 sq ft with the heater.

Here are some statistics you might find interesting...

A gallon of propane weighs approximately 4.2 lbs.

A gallon of propane has a burn rate of approximately 100,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units) per hour. This means that if you run your heater continuously (30,000 BTUs) you will be consuming propane at a rate of about 1/3 gallon per hour. At 33,000 BTUs, your heater would be right at the1 gallon per hour approximation. I am guessing that my 15 gallon propane tank could therefore run for about 50 hours (because I'm only burning 30K and not 33K). The shorter the time you have your heater on, the longer you'll go between refills of your propane tank. (What's HUD spelled backwards?)

Since I don't want to do the math to calculate how long I can go (in theory) between refills by running my heater for 6 minutes on after each 50 minutes off (see my experiment below), 14 times per day, I went ahead and wrote the date of the last fill on the tank itself. When it becomes empty, I will have my answer and I'll let you know. I started with an empty tank and it took on 14.4 gallons of propane when I filled it at the local station. By the way -I paid $2.99 per gallon! It is much cheaper at other locations, but I was too excited to wait.

Here are some results from a runtime experiment I've conducted:

Cycle #1:

Outdoor temperature: 55.6 F

Indoor temperature: 68.4 F

Time heater not burning: 56 min 46 sec

Time heater burning: 5 minutes 50 seconds

Cycle #2:

Outdoor temperature: 56.8 F

Indoor temperature: 68.5 F

Time heater not burning: 44 min 3 sec

Time heater burning: 5 min 54 sec

Cycle #3:

Outdoor temperature: 56.8 F

Indoor temperature: 68.5 F

Time heater not burning: 51 min 39 sec

Time heater burning: 5 min 32 sec

On the large heat control knob, there are small raised dots. There is a dot right at the "1" and then four more dots is where the "2" is. To achieve these runtime intervals (i.e., on/off times), I have set the dial to one dot past the "1" and this is where we achieve our 68 degrees (with temps in the 50s outdoors).

Something you should also know, and I had to find this out from experience. I thought that the low setting would set the flame lower and on the high setting, the flames would be larger. Not so. The dial is merely a thermostat. The flames are pretty much full whether the heater is on LOW or on HIGH. I did notice a little more flame at the very top end of the dial, but it's not much. To control the temperature in the house, therefore, all you need to do is select a spot on the dial and leave it there.

We keep our house at 68 degrees and dress warmer if we get a little chilly. But I am here to tell you, you'll burn a lot more propane if you keep your house just 2 degrees warmer and to us, it's just not worth it. We "wear" our 2 degrees and it doesn't cost us a penny more.

Here's something else -the pilot runs while the flame is off. BUT -when you are not going to be running the heater, just turn the whole thing off, including the fan.

The fan is rather wimpy, but adequate. I think it moves more air than we might think, but if you want more "wind," you might want to augment it with a small electric fan.

CARBON MONOXIDE CAN KILL YOU! -Having researched many opinions about vent free heaters running inside a home, I decided to go out and purchase a CO (carbon monoxide) detector with alarm. I have a model that includes a digital display of actual levels of Carbon Monoxide and it displays the reading in parts per million. The very first sign of CO poisoning is a frontal headache. Go read all you care to about CO poisoning and what symptoms are brought about by what levels of toxicity (you never want it above 70ppm and you definitely need to leave the house if it ever gets up to 100ppm, but my device detects zero Carbon Monoxide. I have placed the device atop a set of shelves about 30 inches, nearly directly above, the heater. That said, we still have plenty of ventilation in our manufactured home (bathroom fans pull air into the enclosure through vents in our window design) and the heater does come with a low oxygen shut-down safety feature. Which I don't trust. Which is why I bought the CO detector/alarm unit.

Obviously, it is still a warm Autumn with mild outdoor temperatures. But that's all gonna change soon. We bought this heater in preparation for the power outages we'll face when the big Pacific Northwest storms start pounding us.

I am giving the Mr Heater Model #VF30KBLUELP 30,000 BTU Vent Free Propane Heater 5 stars. Wimpy fan or not, this is a kick-butt alternative to any dependence on electric furnaces when the power goes out. And I think it can also hold its own as a primary heat source in any area with adequate ventilation (along with a CO detection device, just to be on the safe side).

Hope this review helped.

I have used several different types of this kind of stove in different locations. Currently have an all electric house with a pellet stove. Found a really nice like new 50 gallon upright propane tank at a yard sale that I'm using right now.

This is not a good do it yourself project for a home owner. These things require a real installation from someone trained and qualified. Once I got the tank, it needed a regulator, a POL, two pieces of flex (one outdoor, one indoor) a ball shut off valve, some schedule 80 black iron pipe to go through the wall with a lot of other pipe parts and a sediment trap.

THEN once everything is set up, it REQUIRES a real leak test and a gas check before it's put into service.

Once all that was installed correctly and completely tested out? It worked great. Probably took over half an hour to get gas to the pilot light though. Which is normal, air gets in there and it has to be purged out while the thing is attempting to get lit up.

Settings on the control go from 1 5. Have not had it beyond the '1' mark yet. 3 bedroom, two bath house getting into the 20's at night, mid 30's during the day I used 10 gallons of propane the first week.

Can't hear it come on and off as it cycles through it's thermostat. Fan has an automatic setting so it doesn't have to run all the time, either.

Big plus with this one for me was that it comes with the legs and fan. Isn't as much fun to watch as my old vent free fireplace but it sure does get the job done for heating this house and is probably less than half what the stupid pellet stove was costing me. With NO hassle. And the propane company will come out and fill the tank the day after I call if it starts getting low.

Couple of the wood stove die hard neighbors are coming around to check this out. Can imagine it won't be too long before they have one of these, too!

It probably took a little over 2 1/2 hours to install.

The shipping on this was a real treat, too. Came right away in perfect shape. Sure don't have any complaints on this one!

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater 30,000 BTU Propane Blue Flame Vent-Free Heater

This heater works as well as I had hoped it would and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. The "auto" function for the blower fan, for example, causes a delay in the fan operation until enough heat is built up from the flame before it comes on. When the target temperature is reached, the flame goes off and the fan continues to run until it is no longer blowing warm air, then it stops blowing. In other words, this little portable heater work exactly like the furnace in your house is designed to work. It exceeds my expectations.

Ok, I took a little time before reviewing this heater because I wanted to use it for a few days. Here is what I found. Some have said it is large. Yes, its a bit large but it puts out 30,000 BTU's and heats my cabin of 1,000 sq ft. It's not a portable like Mr Heaters Big Buddy's which I also have. There are no handles on it to carry it around. For me at least it is a permanent heater. You can hang it on the wall or attach the legs for floor use.

Setting it up was not difficult but be aware you will need some pipes and connections as it only comes with one elbow for floor use. Some parts I got from Amazon and had my local hose guy put it all together. I did the rest.

Now comes the use of it. At first I had a few problems with the thermostat. It would come on and stay on which made my cabin way too hot. After texting with Bill Sisley at Mr Heater, a great tech by the way, He helped figure out my problem. Notice I said my problem not the heaters. The problem was a draft.

Now the thermostat works perfectly and so does the blower fan. The heater works like a furnace in a large house

All in all it's a great heater and I would recommend it. Just know, you will need to purchase some parts.

One last thing, The heater including the fan is very quiet.

It is NOT real but uses about 10 watts without the heater, looks fine and does have a remote control and separate heat, NO sound. The heater has a blower fan that makes a little noise but seems to put out a decent amount of heat for a small electric heater. I have glass screen doors so I really can not comment on the actual effectiveness of the heater.

I moved my gas logs to the back. I place this unit on the old grate which elevates the units remote sensor and controls above the brass base trim of my glass doors. In an emergency I could remove the unit and use gas.

TIP: Looks are dependent on room lighting. The dancing flames are projected out the back. A 24"x24" piece of cardboard upright 3"-4" behind helps the flames appearance. The cardboard could be spay painted any color to match the interior.

UPDATE: This unit has been "ON" (no heat) for at least 4 hours each day and usually closer to 12-16 hours for more than the last 2 weeks. It has given new LIFE to the 15 year unused fireplace dark hole in the wall.

This unit is probably my best $100 purchase this year if it continues to run.

UPDATE 2: I have lowered my rating. After 3 weeks of extended use the flame intensity seems to have diminished some. I am glad I did not pay over $100. It does not look like it will last. It does have a 3 year warranty but returns are a pain including the time of waiting for a replacement.

I was shopping around for alternative method fireplaces & this is the best & cheapest one I found. Just moved into an old victorian with 3 beautiful fireplaces that have been sealed. Since I am renting & not the owner, I wanted a way to enjoy my beautiful fireplace & also get heat from it ( super expensive to run the old heating system). I had a tower ceramic heater, but that looked bad & got in the way. I looked into the gel log sets, the silly looking logs that you put candles in (too expensive to buy the gels all the time) The fireplaces made by the amish(and others like it) were way too big to fit in my small fireplace & 100's of dollars! this one has heat, a remote (battery included :D) & all you have to do is plug it in. The "flames" are made by a rolling device that emits LED light in the shape of flames. When the lights are on it can look kinda hokeybut it looks almost real with the lights off.

We have gas logs in our downstairs fireplace, but since we have to use propane bottles we never put gas logs upstairs. We were thinking again of actually putting them in when I came across this heater. It fits right in our fireplace, looks great and keeps our bedroom toasty and warm. It even has a thermostat, so once you set it you don't have to worry about it running constantly. Now we are even thinking of replacing the gas logs downstairs with this wonderful little heater!!!

As a little girl of the 70's I remember watching the Christmas specials with the snow falling outside and everyone sitting in front of the fireplace singing Christmas carols by a roaring fire, hot chocolate in hand, Christmas stockings hanging from the mantle and the Christmas tree twinkling in the background but reality is that I am a Florida native and our Christmases here are usually very balmy so a fireplace is just out of place here. Nevertheless I have always wanted a fireplace that I could decorate for the holidays just like in all of those Christmas specials I watched as a child but I live in a rental home so building a real fireplace is out of the question so what was I to do? I chose to build a faux fireplace and just light it with some white Christmas lights or some other type of lights to give the illusion of a fire but without the right kind of light effect AND heat (who can have a fire without heat?!)it just wasn't what my heart yearned for so I kept searching for a more realistic effect until I came across a REAL fireplace with a electric fireplace insert from KW and even better it had heat. I was so excited about my find but I am a very choosy person when purchasing something I can't actually touch and examine so it took me 2 weeks to finally decide on which electric fireplace insert I wanted AND then make the jump to purchasing it so after 2 weeks and looking at pictures of every electric fireplace insert I could find online I finally chose the one with the most realistic effect and with heat. I am thrilled with my KW electric log set w/heater! Right now it is set up in my living room awaiting it's mantle(hubby isn't quite motivated lol) but even right out of the box this electric log set is beautiful and so easy to use. Just plug it in and turn it on. The remote is very simple to use with only 3 buttons, one for power, one for flame effect and one for heat and even better you can turn the heat off and just use the flame effect which I do every night! The only thing I wish it had is sound effects but I still love, love, love, my "fireplace" and I can't wait to get it all decorated for Christmas this year. It's going to be magical!

Review of Sengoku Heat Mate Portable Radiant Kerosene Heater 10,600 BTU

Customer Ratings:

I've been using this heater for several years and have had no problems whatsoever. About 1/2 the heat is radiant, the other half is hot air rising from the unit.

It will burn for 12 to 14 hours before having to refill its 1-gallon removable tank. During this time, it emits no smell at all. The heat adjustment range is from 90% to 100% like any kerosene heater, it is not safe to try to turn it down below this range.

The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the electric lighter bulb burns out too easily it is like a flashlight bulb without the glass bulb when you press the igniter, the bulb's glowing filament presses against the wick, igniting it if the wick doesn't break the filament. In this case, a long wand butane lighter works just fine.

It is true that the very first time a kerosene heater is lit, it will stink. Once the burner has come up to operating temperature for the first time, the metal parts become annealed and ready for use. If the other reviewer lit it for the first time indoors, not knowing this, it would have been a very unpleasant surprise. The first time should be outdoors. After that, you can take it inside.

I bought this heater for my bedroom. When it arrived I unpacked it and there was a small dent on the edge of the case. It should be packed in another box instead of shipping it in the original packaging. Those Shipping Companies throw these boxes around loading and unloading to put on the delivery trucks. The first night it was smelly. The next night the smell was gone. It burns clean now and uses very little kerosene. Light it outside the first time. It says in the directions that there is an oil that takes three to four hours to burn off. It will heat up to four rooms at night. It throws out plenty of heat. The other guy that wrote that it smelled probably used the wrong type of kerosene or just didn't know how to use it. Believe me it is well worth the money. Use only K-1 kerosene

I love my heat Mate! Last year was a warm winter but it still cost me 1257.38 to heat with propane. I have a propane hot water and stove also. This year so far all of Nov through January I have spent 356.00 with propane and Kerosene. The living room is about 73 and a small fan at the end of the hall puts the Den and 2 bedrooms at around 68.

Replacing the wick where it says to remove the pins to take out the wick assembly. I did not know whether to pull or unscrew them. Finally just tried rotating the cylinder so they slide out of the slots and that worked so easy. Just did the opposite to put the assembly back together again.

I changed the wick this season my first season only because I was not very good in maintaining and doing the dry burn. Take the time! Do it! Otherwise you will be replacing the wick way sooner than if you had just done the dry burn

RoadPro 12-Volt 20oz. Smart Car Pot Reviews

Just got this little 12v. pot for heating water, soup, etc. and didn't expect much since I had a recent bad experience with a 12v. coffee maker that, after waiting over an hour for something to happen, didn't work at all. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! This litle unit is well-made and has some very nice features, such as being able to remove the pot from the base for easy cleaning. I also like the fact that, as well as an "on" light, the pot lights up with a white light to let you know that it is seated correctly on the base. It also has a nice safety feature in that it will shut off if there's not enough water, so it won't "burn dry." Best thing, though, is that it really does work! It does take longer with 12v. units, but that's to be expected. However, in less than half an hour the water was bubbling merrily away! I am very pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend it.

I purchased this unit as my wife and I love the "coffee on the go" mode and figured to save a few bucks in the long run on the expensive Convenience Store drinks. So far, and that includes three vehicles, we have blown the fuse every time that we plug the RoadPro into the cigarette lighter. I am approaching half the cost of the unit in replaced fuses. I'm not saying that the unit will not work, in fact I believe that it will do what it claims if you can get the proper power to it. For many vehicles, it will require a heavier wire to be routed from the battery to a seperate 12 volt outlet. This takes the convenience away and adding new wiring to the vehicle adds cost to the use of the RoadPro.

Being an over-the-road driver I carried one of these for awhile in order to make coffee and hot cereal. It actually heats pretty well, and is a much better product than the previous one I had. However after about 3 months of 3-4 times a week use, it started to leak through the base and into the heating element. After that it quit completely. As this happened with 2 of these in a row, I tend to believe it's a design flaw. For occasional use, it's probably well worth it, but if you use it regularly, expect to replace it every couple of months.

My husband and I purchased two of these heaters at the start of the fall season. We live in a pretty big farm house so all the gusty cold wind just whips right over us from the fields. We also have oil heat and have spent nearly $2,000 a year in oil! We got these to help keep our oil use down and they work great! We had almost a full tank of oil delivered in October and now we're just at a little under 3/4 tank because of these heaters. We set our thermostat at 65-68 and use these as our main source of heat when possible. Nice even heat, doesn't dry the air out and doesn't "pocket" heat either. I was a little worried about our electric bill but it hasn't really changed much...maybe 20 bucks a month. Even if it was $100 dollars more it STILL wouldn't come close to what we usually pay for oil so I was pretty happy with 20 bucks:)

10/25/2013

I came back on here so I could update our review. I still stand by everything I said previously except this year, after owning these for less then one year, both heaters seem to have lost their heat. They still get warm and blow out warm air but it's not nearly as warm as it should be or as warm as it was last year when we first purchased them. We also have an Eden Pure that my husband had when I first met him....over 4 years ago and that thing still runs great. When we decided to purchase the Black and Decker version it was because the Eden Pures were wayyyy expensive compared to these. Black and Decker is a good name so we thought it would be a good purchase. For the price I guess it's not too bad but if I have to purchase a new one each year then I'll just go with the Eden Pure that I know runs at least 4 years. My husband seems to think the bulbs just need replaced. I'm going to try to locate a place that repairs them but at this point I have no idea what that will cost me. If it's more then 100 bucks I think we'll just get the Eden Pure, which we should have done in the first place. I'm pretty disappointed that I was only able to use these properly for one season.

I am not impressed, the fan/blower inside of the box moves very little air, so while the box gets very hot (which is nice), unless you are holding your hands or feed literally right next to the front of it, you cannot benefit from the heat.

Product was not the same color as the picture-was cheaply made with paper vaneer wood, paper brace broke sliding unit into corner (on carpet). I had to make a real wood brace to support unit-It does look good assembled, and was easy to put together. I was disappointed in the quality of the product.

I bought this for my sister for Christmas, and she loves it! It's very sturdy and well-made, and it's classy and beautiful. There is plenty of room for the cable box and DVD player, as well as room for books and knickknacks. It was easy to assemble, too. It does come in 2 boxes, which may arrive days apart, so don't be surprised if only part of it arrives at first. It should save her money on heating bills, too, since she won't have to use her propane furnace as much.

Review of Presto Heat Dish Plus Parabolic Electric Heater

Customer Ratings:

My elderly relatives have owned various space heaters over the years and I was not happy with those so avoided them for my own use in the past. One blasted air like a fan which made it seem cold actually, the other went from raging hot heat, then shut off and it felt colder than it probably really was, then cycled on again, giving an uneven heat. Some are noisy. All had a foul smell and I wasn't sure if they were actually fumes of fuel or what caused those smells.

In the news, I'd heard of fires from some units and didn't want any part of that, especially with kids in the house. I also worried of a very hot unit (to the touch) with kids around the unit.

We are renting at present and do not have control of the poor heating system here (and now my youngest is 11 years old and knows enough to not touch it) so I bought this space heater a month ago. Also it's important to know that often I am usually the only cold one in the family.

When I saw this I thought "space heater" it actually is a PARABOLIC electric type space heater.

PRESTO HEAT DISH PLUS throws heat only where it is directed, that's what a PARABOLIC heater does. This works best for heating one person, in my opinion. Right not it is aimed at our desk where two people are sitting about four feet apart from each other and we feel the heat more in between us (it is not reaching our left and right outside edges. Another example is it can be pointed at one person and sitting two feet away but out of the disc's direction, you can't feel the heat. It does heat objects, like the back of my desk chair and the desk.

The cons of this unit is that it sits low, it is not raised up, so it keeps your feet warmer than your hands (for example, I have a hard time getting my hands warm while using the computer keyboard but my feet and legs are very warm).

It is hard to move around, there is no handle or anything to hold onto, you have to push it by the base. It is lightweight and very tippy when you try to move it.

If you tip it while moving it, there is a loud buzz, that's a good thing.

My model does not have a night light on it, I don't need it. I don't use it while I'm sleeping.

The orange you see on the photo can only be seen when viewing from one specific angle, all the other angles will show silver when you look at it. The entire orange part in the photo is not the heated up part. It has coils inside that are hot and the dish parabolic thing helps the heat reflect out into the room. The back of the unit is very warm or a little hot but not hot enough to burn you when touching it.

Also although the general shape looks like a typical fan, this has no fan. There are no moving parts that BLOW air around. It just heats evenly and the dish reflects the heat outward into the room where the disc is pointed.

A pro is due to the design of this, it throws a lot of heat with little electricity compared to other heaters.

There is zero smell or odor of any kind (and no fumes) which is fantastic.

It is also completely silent which I love!

Again I love the even slow heat of this compared to the type that turn on and blast heat then shut off for a while and it feels cold then turn on to be too hot again.

Often I am the only cold person in the house, and I can use it to warm up while those in the same room with me are "just fine". The alternative is me over-heating the entire house just for my comfort and then having everyone else complain of being too hot. Using this is saving us money on our overall heating bill and it makes all of us happy.

I am happy with the price of this product as well.

Wow_ I love this heater! I have never seen a heater warm so well or so fast. Please keep in mind this is designed to heat a person not a space. So, to heat you up and not your room! For me this is perfect! If you are the person that is usually cold and everyone else is not but this thing! Ahhh-mazing! You can heat you and not them. My hands can be so cold I can hardly type. I get up and go get this heater out of what ever room I was last in. (It is very light weight and easy to move)I plug it in and with in one minute I am so warm I have to turn it down! Please remember though, this is to heat you... Not a room! Also very quiet... Unless you tip **even slightly** It has a warning sound.

I love this heater! You feel warm almost immediately, and not just if you sit right in front of it, like some reviews claimed. Actually, the parabolic dish helps spread the heat in a wide beam that heats better at a distance of, say, 10 feet than right in front of it. If you aim it towards something solid, it will also heat up the whole room fairly quickly if the room is not terribly big. I first became aware of it when my local bank had trouble with their heating system and set up 3 parabolic heaters that kept the whole cavernous room toasty.

It's also economical: It only goes up to 1,000 watts, and I find out I have to turn it down to the lowest setting after a while. The only minus, not enough to warrant loss of a ratings star, is that on the low setting it has an intermittent electronic buzz that is not very loud but can be annoying. At the high and medium settings, it's perfectly quiet, but it is so effective that I always end up turning it down.

I have one small room with a parabolic heater and another with an oil-filled heater. If I need quick heat, I use the parabolic heater. The oil-filled heater takes forever to heat up the room, going full tilt at 1,500 watts.

I've had this heater for several years now.My wife gave it to me as a present.She likes to keep our home like a meat locker at night for sleeping but i work 3 to midnight and when i get home it's sweats and this heater to keep me warm.As other reviewers stated it sends a wave of heat in the direction that you point it at, which is ok by me.I direct it towards me and i stay toasty warm.It's silent and also has a light in the base which i guess is to let you know it's plugged in.Overall i am happy with it and i'm not cold anymore after work.

I had a similar problem. I was awakened in the middle of the night by this extremely loud alarm coming from the heat dish. After reading the instructions, I discovered that it was a safety alarm which went off because too much dust had accumulated on the dish. With the unit unplugged, I stuck a damp paper towel through the screen and used a utensil to move it around and wipe up the dust. That was months ago, and I have been using it fine ever since! I love the heat dish! It produces a lot of heat with no noise and no fan and only uses a 1000 watts. What a great savings compared to other space heaters!

I received the heater yesterday and connected it. As I installed it I noticed one corner was damaged an little; apparently someone dropped it on the corner. Since I already had the box opened and the holes drilled to install I decided to not send it back, the damage was cosmetic. They provide a paper template for placing the holes, they matched the holes in the panel. I find the heater provided moderate heat in one of my basement rooms. It would not be much value in an uninsulated room, or a very large room. However, it suits my needs to take the chil out of an interior room in the basement.

Candle Warmers Etc. Original Candle Warmer Review

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.

I bought these as coffee warmers for oversized mugs and they are perfect. Even my largest mug fits fine and they are the same wattage (17) as the similar style coffee warmers.

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 really enjoy it! It's so much better than lighting a candle and then blowing it out and then you have all the smoke smell. None of that with this product.

When I first opened the package, I was...

...whelmed.

The padded gear bag's plastic liner is brittle. It cracked and wouldn't hold water after the first week. The heating element is merely a coil of soft copper tubing poked into a sheet-metal box. The D-cell-powered 1/4-scale model sump pump caused laughter.

It works.

We now take showers inside our pop-up truck camper *in the winter*. We use the existing 12V water pump by force-fitting the input hose over the sink faucet while the heater is on the stove burner. When the water is really cold, we have to cycle the pump on and off (not recommended by the instructions, but then neither is using the thing inside on my inside stove, right?)

I could probably rig one up with $25 ~ $50 in hardware. But it would take half a day or more and probably look like a kluge. So, for a hundred extra bucks I get to have a camping shower that works.

Fair enough, at least it works.

EDIT: Somebody just taught me how to use a garden variety tank sprayer, filled with warm water, as a camp shower. This is such a better idea, that I am abandoning this piece of equipment and moving to the tank sprayer. Just sayin'...

this is advertised as an indoor stove to heat water for uses like a shower while camping. I bought it for 123.46. When it arrived promptly the instructions stated don't use inside dangerous, could be fatal etc.

I contacted seller and manufacturer which both stated their lawyers made them write it but it wasn't true. I should go ahead and use it anyway and ignore their instructions.

Yeah right. When my 5 kids end up dead what then?

They refuse to reimb. me for shipping rtn. of $29.75. Now I have placed no less then 14 long over an hour each calls to Amazon to invoke the A-Z amazon guarantee to get refund and rtn shipping. Never deal with these people. A complete nightmare.
