My Kargo Kooler arrived damaged in a dented box without any interior packing materials. The lid doors were warped and a little loose, a screw was missing from a hinge, the cheap plastic lid latch did not work properly, and I could not use this cooler vertically as a "refrigerator" because the heavy bottom door sagged badly. Perhaps attaching the heavy cooling unit to a lid door is a design flaw of this model.

The Kargo Kooler arrived a day before a 1600-mile road trip: I tested it en route to the Deep South in April as a chest cooler for exotic cheeses and a frozen pork roast, plugged into a socket in the cargo area of my Subaru Forester. I also splurged for the the optional AC adapter so I could plug it in at hotels. It cooled things superbly, despite lid problems. Yes, it may be a bit noisy in quiet office/home environments, but I did not notice its hum above road noise or the loud blasts of heating/cooling in highway hotel rooms.

My unit was obviously damaged from shipping, so I'm returning it to Amazon for a refund. Just check the lid covers and hinges very closely for damage and/or defects if you order this item.

I liked this enough to give Koolatron a second chance: I just ordered Koolatron's slightly smaller rolling mini-fridge model which may better suit my needs, has an adjustable thermostat, and should tuck away nicely and discreetly under the cargo area blind of my Subaru.

I got this as a sort of "extra" frig for drinks in the summer. However, it freezes up easily and can't be adjusted for temperature. It is lightweight and portable, working well for a drink chest for parties.

Also, the plug in that comes with it was missing. It only plugs into a car outlet--I had to buy the adapter to use it in the house.

Given the choice, I'd probably go with a small refrig that adjusts temperature. However, again, I like the portability of this product.

Used this on my road trip, it did great keeping all my food and drinks cold. Even when driving through the hot desert of 90 degree weather, it did cool down below 40 degrees from outside temperature, so it was 50 degrees inside cooler for our food. Warmer does great, can use up to 4 hrs maximum. Either cooler or warmer, plug into 12v lighter when car is running or will drain your car battery. It stays cool when at picnic and cannot plug cooler in.

Only concern is when fans running, its loud inside the car. When driving the road noise blends it out. After awhile you don't even think about it. Not too bulky in the backseat. Easily used seat belts to help hold it down when driving, such as around corners. Greatly recommend this cooler/warmer. My friend had a different brand and didn't work well. This one is a great portable fridge. Plus bought adapter from Amazon.com to use at hotel rooms, plug right in to wall outlet.

Honest reviews on Koolatron 33 qt. Kargo Kooler

The hinge on the door was broken on arrival even though the packaging was not damaged. It seems like the double door concept with the heavy cooler mechanism on the door put a lot of stress on the plastic hinge. Good concept, but poor execution. I had to return it before we could even turn it on....

WE GOT INTO THE TRANSPORTATION BUSINESS AND NEEDED A SMALL FRIDGE TO KEEP DOWN THE COST OF FOOD.. WE HAVE USED THIS KOOLATRON ALMOST STEADY FOR A MONTH NOW. IT KEEPS ON GOING. THE ONLY THING BETTER WOULD BE IF IT WAS VERSITLE TO PLUG INTO CAR AND HOME. WE BOUGHT AN ADAPTER TO TAKE IT INTO MOTELS AND SUCH TO BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE.. WE JUST LOVE IT THOUGH. WE RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY.

We did a lot of research before buying and am pleased to say these are exceptional for the money. Being that this heater is a duplicate knock off of the Dr. Heater we knew we were getting great heaters. We purchased our 1st one last fall and it's still going strong so decided to add another to combat the rising energy costs. We have electric baseboard heaters and they are too expensive to use. The automatic thermostats are very accurate and the heaters are easy to operate. You do have to let the heater run for a short while to burn off the oil smell. We heat a smaller ranch style home with these 2 and they keep the house at a nice comfy temp. I would recommend these heaters over the higher priced heaters to everyone.

My mom purchased this item for me as a gift to help with my energy costs. I was soooo excited when it arrived and plugged it right in! Worked awesome! I received it on a Friday. By Sunday afternoon I noticed it had stopped.... completely shutdown... no led light on for Standby... dead. I unplugged it, plugged it back in. I moved it to a different outlet, nothing, dead. I thought to myself, maybe it over heated. I waited hours, tried again, nothing. I tried emailing service at iliving, delivery status returned. Went to Iliving website, doesn't exist. I called this morning (Monday) the 866 number during business hours, nothing no answer, just a recording stating the business hours I was calling during. I left a message. I AM SOOOO BUMMED! This heater worked wonderfully for the 2 days that it worked. My mom works 40-50 hours a week for just over minimum wage and she out of the kindness of her heart purchased this heater for me to help me out and stay warm and cozy cause she is an AMAZING mother. I hope and pray I get a call back and that it doesn't take weeks to rectify this situation. I have company coming from the east coast in a week and a half and I hope that I can make my home warm and comfortable for them with a new or repaired Iliving infrared heater model# ILG-918. LOVED THIS HEATER WHILE IT WORKED!

******RIGHT AFTER I POSTED THIS I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MANUFACTURER*****

The man on the phone was very nice and took my address to mail me a fuse that i could change on my own. I am pretty confident that I will be able to fix it!! I will edit this review as this problem is solved. I do love this heater! He also told me that the next models to come out next year will not have the same kind of fuse. He said they are looking to change it to a better one. He was very honest and helpful. He also gave me a direct line to call him on in the future. The company name is Dr. Heater vs Iliving. Again I love this heater and hope this fuse arrives quickly and I am able to change it with ease!

*********FUSED CHANGED! BACK IN BUSINESS!*************

The fuse arrived very quickly! My boyfriend changed the fuse with ease! I am back to enjoying the wonderful warmth this heater provides me! Grateful Warm & Cozy!

The propane regulator I bought for my tank was missing the o-ring and the slot for it. The propane delivery tech suggested this instead of having to redo the teflon tape after every refill to seal the threads. Worked like a charm, but be sure to check for leaks.

I have a 10 year old water heater with OK efficiency.

Before installing this product I took a thermal temperature gun to:

The cement around the heater and it was 50 degrees.

The air temperature is 60 degrees in the basement.

I put the temp gun to the water heater and it showed 70 degrees.

I installed the product, waited about 24 hours, it's now showing 69 degrees. This means the material is still being heated/loosing heat. And yes, I did install it right, the instructions are simple. This product is a waste of money.

I'm a resident of Washington State. We're notorious for two things: it rains a lot and people live in denial that it ever gets hot here. While not it may not reach the soaring highs of the mid-west that I left 18 years ago, it certainly heats up. And when you're acclimated to mid-60s for most of the year, the mid-80s and mid-90s of summer can feel as devastatingly uncomfortable as those 109 degree Kansas City summers. Even so, the houses in Washington state are built for precipitation, not warmth. They're well insulated against rain and snow, and terrible for ventilation and air-conditioning as a result.

In an effort to cool my obscenely-well-insulated house down on even the more temperate of warm spring and summer days, I've installed a solar attic fan and a whole-house fan. Both help a lot in the right situation (the solar attic fan helps keep the attic cool, which means lower overall temperatures, and the whole-house fan can bleed the heat from the house in a few minutes flat -once the ambient outside temperature has dropped low enough), but when you suffer from seasonal allergies, sometimes the right situation is two weeks away when the pollen count drops. Not much help!

Because of my casement-style windows, I've been relegated to using free-standing A/C systems to augment the attic fan and the house fan for the past few years. But free-standing A/C units are almost worthless. First, their power is insufficient. 12,000 BTUs aren't enough to control a large airspace like my vaulted, open-floorplan kitchen+dining+living room combo (a very, very common layout in Washington. This state loves its split-levels, and that's almost always what you encounter at the top of everyone's stairs here). Second, the dryer-hose they use to convey the heat outside (through a cracked window) inevitably heats up, warming the air around the A/C unit, defeating a large part of its purpose. Third, the heat from outside almost always creeps in, as casement windows are hard to seal well, especially when you have a big, heavy dryer hose hanging from the cheap plastic window shim. Lastly, even the models that claim to evaporate the extracted moisture from the air don't really, and you wind up emptying a water reservoir several times a month (if not several times a week on the warmer days). If your A/C unit is big enough, you must lean it out of a doorway and let it drain, allowing the warm air from the outside to easily defeat a portion of the cooling you just paid for in precious electricity. Crazy? Yes.

This season we decided to purchase a big, powerful air-conditioner that could be installed in-wall. We settled on this Frigidaire. I called up my electrician to install a dedicated 20A circuit with a 230v outlet to feed this beast and got his recommendation for a contractor to come cut a hole in my wall at the same time. We scheduled a date for a few weeks out. The A/C arrived within a week, and within 2 weeks we had 25,000 BTUs of real, honest-to-God air conditioning in the house. After the first day I left my lady at home and went to work, I asked her how she was doing. She said, "it got cold, so i had to turn the temperature up!" That's a good sign. Usually she doesn't say things like that until 4am when the old, freestanding A/C had been running *constantly* for 24 hours and had finally had a chance to catch up well after the sun had gone down.

This thing has several useful modes. Our favorite by far is combining the 'energy saver' and 'remote sensing' modes. Energy saver tells the unit to move some air every 10 minutes or so to see if more cooling is required (because the ambient has risen above the set point). If so, it engages the condenser and injects some powerfully cold air into the room for a few minutes, then goes back to sleep. Remote sensing is enabled from the remote control, which has its own thermistor and temperature display built in. At the touch of a button, it starts sending its temperature readings to the air conditioner at regular (~30m) intervals. The air conditioner defers to these readings and attempts to make the room cold enough to bring the temperature near the remote down to the desired one. The remote runs on a couple of AA batteries, so keeping it fed shouldn't be a problem with all the rechargeable batteries we have laying around. (The included batteries are still going strong several days later, though). It also has

On the more critical side of things, the unit is quite loud when cooling at full blast. This was initially bothersome, as the unit occupies a space in our living room wall, but once we realized that 'energy saver' causes it to run for just a few seconds every 10 minutes, it became far less of an issue for us.

In conclusion, I am in awe of just how powerful this thing is, and how well it cools. Standing close to its air vents when the condenser is on is a bit like sticking your head in the ice box... which is as it should be. The remote temperature sensing feature is awesome. I only wish the remote was RF instead of IR, but that can be overcome with an IR repeater or two. The real test will come in a few weeks, as summer rolls in and the "real" heat arrives. So far, I'm confident this unit (rated for a ~1600sqft. "room") will more than adequately keep the upstairs of our 1800sqft. house comfy, and all without me having to keep a window open perpetually or drain the tank every other day. Hallelujah! ;)

Oh man!!! We are in central tx with MANY 100+ degree days, we needed relief without breaking the bank. This big ol' Frigidaire FRA256SV2 Energy Star heavy-duty beauty filled the bill perfectly!! We live in 1920's house with little insulation, original windows, all that plus ooold pets, but the a/c cooled us off majorly. And it cooled entire house on low fan, energy save mode set at 70, we have 6 rooms, and it cost the same as using small unit in 1 room!!! We don't use the remote, don't need to, we turned it on, set it on temp & mode we wanted & waited for utility bill. We were so surprised, so happy over bill that we left all settings where they were, only turned it off when the weather turned cool. The filter is so easy to clean. We would buy this big baby again & we have recommended it to others.

Reviews of Sunbeam Hot Shot Hot Water Dispenser

Customer Ratings:

I've used a Hot Shot a whole lot for heating up water for drinking various types of tea and other beverages. If it's right for what you're brewing, it really is a great product--the water is heated within a minute or two, which is way faster than a kettle, and it holds the perfect amount for a large mug.

There are a couple things to note though. Like other reviewers have said, because of the product's design, some taller mugs (especially large vacuum-sealed caddy mugs) won't fit in to receive the water, so you either can't use them or have to dispense the water into another container first and pour it from there. Also, you definitely should empty the excess water after you're done--you might even want to open the lid while it's still warm to let the extra moisture evaporate. This is because the inside is metal, and re-re-reheated water that's been sitting in there gets a bit gross and might not be the healthiest.

The last issue, which affects me more than it may others, is that the Hot Shot heats the water to boiling or very near to boiling. This is great if you're drinking black tea, hot chocolate, or hot cider, but if you're drinking green tea (which takes hot water that is well below boiling), the water from the Hot Shot can be too hot and make the tea bitter. If it's right for the beverage you want to make, though, I can't recommend a more convenient or quick option.

Sunbeam 6131 Hot Shot Hot Water Dispenser, Black

We have used a Hot Shot for many years, replacing the first two because they eventually stopped heating water sufficiently (only up to 160 degrees F). Since they had become a mainstay in our kitchen, used several times a day, we were eager to replace the last one, and ordered the sleek new black model, which is of a somewhat different design than the original.

The first one we received from Amazon leaked considerably if we didn't use up all the water that had been heated, so we sent it back (Amazon paid for the entire return postage and sent us a new one at no extra cost). The second one leaked just like the first one, through the dispenser spout, when water was left to sit in the heating chamber. We never had this problem with the older model.

I am giving it two stars instead of only one, since some people may not mind being sure to empty the heating chamber after each use. (If it didn't leak, I would give it 4 stars -and 5 stars, if it were also tall enough to accomodate taller cups).

I've used a Hot Shot for at least 20 years and won't go without one. But they are made real cheap now. My son is still using the one he bought over 10 years ago. I had this less than a year when it leaked, and is getting worse. Put water in, press the button. Before you get the water poured in and put the cup under the spout it is dripping, real fast now. By the time the water is heated, if I grab it real quick I lose about 2 tbsp. (in about a minute). If I don't catch it right away it will leak enough so I have to warm up more water to make a full cup. I keep a towel under the spout now. This worked good for a few months. Think about it, if every small appliance in your kitchen had to be replaced within a year......

Also, a tall cup/mug won't fit under the spout. So I pour the water from one cup to another. I do like the old hot shot, saves time and electricity.I gave it one star because I do like the hot shot water heater, I just don't like this one.

UPDATE: A couple months after I wrote this review, there was a burning smell--the cheap thing burned out. Meanwhile it leaked water into the cabinets below and spoiled the food.

I went without one for a while, but eventually bought another one because I like the concept... put in cold water, press a button, come back to boiling water. I bought the cheapest I could find because it won't last. I'm just glad I don't have to replace all my other appliances every year.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Hot Shot Hot Water Dispenser

Amazon didn't publish my last review so I am rewriting it from memory.

I owned this for 150 days and then it quit. We took it apart, basically this design is living on borrowed time as the unit will eventually fail.

Sunbeam placed the actual electronic switch below the aluminum bowl part and on top of the plastic housing. The grey button on the top is nothing more than a lever to another piece that actually depresses the electronic switch below the aluminum bowl. The real electronic switch is less than an inch from where the water flows from the aluminum bowl and out the dispenser. That switch, also sits right next to the heating element. Now you don't need to be an engineer to know that electronics don't care for heat and they don't care for water. In our case the heat killed the electronic "on" switch. I am not sure where the previous model's (3211) actual "on" switch was, but it had to be in a smarter location that this for it to last TEN years.

So the old design, built in the US apparently lasted 10 years and the new design, made in China lasted 150 days. I should have read the 1-star reviews as I would have found that just about every owner of the previous model have had nothing but bad experience with this model. Don't discount the opinions of those that owned the previous model. I don't think I will ever buy another Sunbeam product again, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

P.S. The only reason we replaced our ten year old 3211 model was because the rubber or plastic seal in the dispenser part had worn out and the unit would leak while dispensing.

This product has been around for over a decade, and for good reason: it works, and works well. My mother bought me one in Fall 1993 when I went off to college and lived in a tiny dorm room. It has served me well ever since. Nearly 12 years later, it still works as well as the day I got it. It really does heat 16 ounces of water to boiling in under 2 minutes. It's insulated so the outside does not get hot. Just remember to only heat water inside of it, not other liquids. It has a nice, clean look and a modern design which I'd even call "cute". The cord stores underneath the base when not in use, for a clutter-free appearance. I'd recommend it to everyone for a wide variety of situations.
