I've had my coffee maker for about a week and I love it so far. I decided on this model since it had the largest tank size out of the other Tassimos and is really affordable compared to other single serve brands and the cheapest of the Tassimo line. It was super easy to set up and use and it has worked great so far. It is very compact and I can even fill up the water tank without lifting it out of the system with my cabinets overhead. The coffees it makes are great, I am a big fan of the HAG crema and the coffee this brewer comes with is good too, I only drink decaf though so that is for when guests come over. Their lattes and cappuccinos are also great. Overall this is just a great coffee maker with its' one touch operation I don't need to worry about accidentally putting in the wrong setting when I'm still asleep in the mornings, just press and go. I had debated between getting this and a Keurig Vue and I am very happy with my choice so far. I also like that I am getting two free boxes of t discs just for registering my brewer with Tassimo. I ordered Gevalia signature blend decaf and another decaf cappuccino and they should be getting here next week and can't wait to try out the decaf Gevalia coffee.

We've only had it about a month, but love the variety of coffee it brews as well as the taste of them. In reading many other reviews, it seems to have far better durability than Keurig, but only time will tell. There are fewer coffee brands to choose from, and I find using Amazon's Subscribe & Save the best way to get them, but all in all, it's a great way to grab a quick cup of coffee in the morning, latte in the evening, etc.

Cheap 175,000 BTU Kerosene Forced Air Heater with Thermostat

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this product as an upgrade from the 70,000 BTU unit and has worked great for what i use it for. Thermostat regulates the temperature well. One thing I did want to point out is the fuel tank, which holds 13 gallons. I purchased 5 gallons of K1 Kerosene from a local store which cost me $38.00 and only brought the tank up to just over a third full. Heater burned through the the 5 gallons between 4-5 hours of use so something to think about. I'll probably consider burning diesel as an alternative. Overall a great heater but note the fuel consumption and the large space you will need to use this.

I purchased this brand new, assembled it, and fired it up in twenty minutes. I've owned torpedo heaters without the thermostat but since this model has one, it can turn on and off to maintain the desired ambient temperature. On about the fifth start up, I heard the ignition kick on but also heard the sound of a dying motor. The fan motor had seized. I tried troubleshooting it through the manual but this kind of problem wasn't listed. So, I took this matter into my own hands. I opened the top shell and tried to spin the fan. It was very resistant but after a few turns it eventually spun free. I fired it back up and it worked for a little bit and then repeated the incident. I dug deeper: removing the air filter and air filter housing. After removing the housing, the fan would spin free again. Turns out the rotor which pumps the air is slightly too wide for the housing. If you seen the rotors, they're made of graphite (just like the graphite used in mechanical pencils but instead of a small stick it's a huge disc with four small wedges emplaced in groves). As the rotor spins the wedges slide in groves displacing the volume but at the same time are wearing down. As the rotor wears down, the graphite shavings can either get pumped into the filter or build up between the rotor and housing. The buildup caused the jamming of the fan motor. My solution was to sand the rotor faces with 800 grit so it would have enough room to allow shavings to make their way out somewhere else.

So far this fix has kept the heater going but I'm wary as to the longevity of this unit. I've already researched online and there are some heater supply stores which sell replacement rotors for around $35. Surely there is a more efficient design to pump air into the tank. All is needed is a constant 5-10 PSI while the heater runs. Essentially, if one were to design a small supercharger, that could compensate the graphite rotor and prolong the heater life without troubling the fuel supply.

I have a very large family room/kitchen open area. I have been closing the door to the rest of my house, setting the thermostat back to 62 and running the Duraflame in the FR area. The FR warms up to 69/70 and the rest of my home goes down to 62. About half-an-hour before going to bed I set the thermostat to 66. I was concerned about my electric bill, but when it came I was pleasantly surprised that it had only gone up $12 for the entire month. Even better my gas heating bill went down over $25 for the month. The cabinet stays cool to the touch and looks like a piece of furniture. I would definitely recommend this heater.

I've been looking for a warming drawer for my kitchen for over 10 years but could never bring myself to pay 800-1000 dollars. Amazon put this one on sale and I snapped it up (especially since I got the last white one on sale). It looks great, works great and I am very happy with it. My personal installation was a bit tricky because of where I wanted to install it, but otherwise it was an easy install, no hard wiring, just plug it into an outlet with a big enough breaker on it and you're good to go. Installing the anti-tipping block in the back of where I put it was where I had difficulties. I am sure if I were putting it in a standard cabinet or something it would have been just fine. I love this drawer and am really happy to finally have one installed in my kitchen! Really useful when making a large meal or even when I make waffles. It keeps the waffles warm and warming the plates goes a long way to helping food stay hot all the way through the meal. I love this drawer!

1,500 Watt Utility Heater - PUH792-UM Review

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this to provide a bit of warmth while working in my uninsulated northern garage. I liked the very utilitarian appearance and have had good experience with the Patton brand. Unfortunately this unit just does not have enough output to be noticed in such an environment. The small, single-speed fan just does not move the heated air far enough away from the unit; to get any benefit from it I have to be right on top of it. I never expected it to heat the whole garage but I did expect it to provide some noticeable warming in a few foot radius. This it does not do. If you have a very small space that will contain the heated air better, you might find it acceptable. But generally I would advise looking for a larger-diameter blower with at least two speed settings.

I have had no problems with this unit so far and have been using it daily for the past month or so in the worst part of the summer. The seer rating on this unit is almost 10, so it out classes most other portables in it's BTU range. Not as efficient as a mini split, but not wasteful like the easiest option to get my hands on at a local store. Their seer ratings were around 8-9, plus there's heat. Would buy again and recommend to others. To the users complaining about the internal tank size you should consider trying to look for solutions to that problem besides complaining about it. I've got mine dripping into a 40 gallon reservoir so I don't have to change it out as much, but it's a very efficient unit so there's a trade off. Think outside the box and you'll appreciate this unit. Although my only criticisms are that there is no timer nor can I use one at the electrical socket as when the power comes back on, the unit will still be off.

I was not impressed at all by the performance of this unit.

The instruction manual is very specific regarding the routing of the exhaust ventilation hose.

The "ideal" configuration is a straight shot from the discharge port of the machine to the window. The manual says the shortest length of hose is prescribed and the efficiency of the unit is diminished in relationship to the discharge ventilation.

With all of this in mind it sounds ridiculous to use this system if a standard "window unit" can be installed. It appears that window units (ones that are mounted entirely in the window) are much more efficient.

In comparison and conclusion I suggest making every effort to go with the standard window unit.

We are really pleased with our fireplace. It looks great in our living room. We live in a small townhouse, and the fireplace keeps the living room toasty. The heat output begins immediately to move the ceiling fan on it's own, as the heat rises. The furnace now rarely runs. The bedrooms are cool, which is how we like it. We live in South Carolina, so winter nights are cool but not frigid. Our electric bill (furnace is an electric heat exchanger) was less than expected last month. Will continue to evaluate this as the winter progresses. So far, very happy with this purchase.

If you buy a Dimplex product, cross your fingers that nothing breaks because if you have to call their customer service/technical support you are in for wild ride. It will take you about 2 hours on hold to get through to a live rep (who has that luxury??). They'll tell you it's their "busy season" meaning it's wintertime (duh!)

Now, if you're lucky enough to actually get through to a live rep, cross your fingers again that your problem wont require them sending out a rep to fix it, because you will be told to expect a call in one-to-two-days to set up an appointment (they wont give you the number to call yourself, you must wait for the call). But then the call doesn't come and you realize that your only recourse is to call Dimplex. Now your back to going on hold for two hours again.

The good news though is that if your fireplace breaks down in the middle of summer when you don't use it, you'll be able to get right through to one of their reps.

Reviews of Lasko Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control

List Price: $61.40

I purchased this as an alternative to central heating, and found that this ceramic heater offered good performance for the price I paid.

Standing around 30" high, the Lasko 5365 saves a lot on floor space since it takes up more vertical space than horizontal space. Also because of this design, it can heat up more of the room at the same time.

One other thing I liked about this heater was the safety switch: as soon as you tip it over, the heater will shut itself off. If you immediately pull it back up, the heater turns back on. If it stays down or down at an angle, the heater will completely shut down. For a household with kids, this could be what saves the home from going up in flames.

The heater itself is quiet, and even though it does beep (when you turn it on, or switch modes etc.) the beep isn't obtrusive. I have another space heater which is very loud, so maybe I am making an unfair comparison.

The heater also has some other great features such as oscillation (it can turn about 180 degrees back and forth), high/low mode change (high mode for higher bursts of heat, while low mode is both quieter and emits less heat from the grille), and a timer function for those who like to set-and-forget.

Aesthetically, the Lasko 5365 also offers a modern look, which together with the blue backlit LCD display, resembles other modern appliances (DVD/stereo players, Windows Media Center PCs, etc.) in the household. Since many of my peripherals are either black or silver, this heater fits right into the decor.

One other interesting facet of this heater is that it can be remote-controlled (the included small remote has large rubber buttons and large printing, good for those with bad eyesight; uses two AAA batteries which are included). Unfortunately there is no place to hang the remote on the heater itself (unlike other heaters), but its a small caveat.

Overall the Lasko 5365 offers many of the great features found on other heaters, but at a nominal price. Considering having to pay for the high price of natural price each month, the Lasko 5365 is a very good cost-effective alternative.

Best Deals for Lasko Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control

I've been using this heater for almost a month now, and so far, it does a good job of keeping an average sized bedroom warm. I do, however, have a few cons when using this heater during the night.

Pros:

1. It has a remote control

2. It oscillates

3. The low setting is nice and quiet

4. It has a timer, so the unit will turn off after a certain number of hours (1-8 hours)

5. It has a thermostat setting, so it will try to keep the temperature you set it at by turning itself on if the current room temperature is 1 degree below the temp you want the room at, or turn off if the room is 3 degrees above the temp you want.

6. It has a good height. It's not one of those heaters that direct the heat to your feet first.

Cons:

1. Pressing any of the buttons gives out a pretty loud beep (or two, or three). If someone else is sleeping in the same room, he/she will most likely wake up from this sound, especially if they're a light sleeper.

2. Speaking of light sleeper (which I, personally, am), the high setting of this unit is a little loud to sleep through, but I'm able to sleep through the low setting.

3. Again, for those light sleepers, the thermostat setting (mentioned in Pro #5 above) has its drawback during the night. Because the unit is trying to figure out if it the room is colder than the temperature set by the user, it will turn itself on and off (sounds like a High setting, so it'll be fairly loud) for this temperature check which lasts maybe 2 seconds. BUT, unfortunately, it keeps going through this temperature check about every 2 minutes or so. Not good for the light sleeper. ;)

4. The blue LCD remains lit, so in a dark room, the LCD might be too bright for those used to sleeping completely in the dark. Just cover it up with a post-it note or something if it bothers you.

I would probably give this unit 4 stars if the beeping sound wasn't so piercing loud and if I wasn't such a light sleeper.

Honest reviews on Lasko Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control

I recently bought the Lasko 6350, which I guess is the newer model of this type. It looks very similar except the display on top. I got mine for 49 bucks at target.

Pros

1. It has a remote control

2. It oscillates

3. The low setting is nice and quiet

4. It has a timer, so the unit will turn off after a certain number of hours (1-8 hours)

5. It has a thermostat setting, so it will try to keep the temperature you set it at by turning itself on if the current room temperature is 1 degree below the temp you want the room at, or turn off if the room is 3 degrees above the temp you want.

I must say this unit works very well and heats up my room fairly quickly. They replaced the blue display with a just a digital number readout in green against a black background. It can been seen in the dark as the numbers are quiet big and its not bright that it would keep you up (as in the previous post of the old model).

Cons

1. Loud in High/Auto mode. In the high mode, it is louder than my laptop. However, the low mode is very quiet and I hear more of my laptop fan than I do of the heater.

2. Low mode isnt temp adjustable, ie, it just kinda maintains a steady temperature. (72 degress on the display)

3. The temp indicator is off. It indicates a room temp of 74 when my home thermostat is showing 80. What this means is just that the temperature displayed is probably just 6 degrees lower than it probably is at. What this then means is that on low setting 72 is actually 78ish so its not so bad

What I end up doing is just turing the heater on high when I get home and then turn it to low once it hits my set temp. I is pretty good at keeping a steady heat. Even though the heater is kinda loud on high, I have yet to find a heater thats not that loud. My gf has a different heater by DeLongi and its just as loud. Hense, I dont thinks its so much a brand specific problem as it is a general product problem. IE, in order to disipate heat, you need a fan and fans are loud when blowing hard. Its unavoidable to move that much air without a fast and loud fan. If there was such a thing as a low noise fan, planes would be a lot quieter.

All in all, I gave it 4 stars just because the temp display is accurate but not precise (ie displays the a "consistantly" 6 degrees too low) which is an easy fix.

P.S. Please note, I dont know if my home heating unit is accurate either. Ive more than once thought it was off so it might be my home temp control displaying an incorrect temp

I just recently purchased this heater to help heat whichever room I'm occupying as I have a poorly insulated apartment. This heater definitely does wonders. It heats up a pretty good sized room fairly quickly, and keeps it warm. It's even good in drafts (although the instructions say that you should get rid of the drafts). I can put it by the door or the window and it will push warm air towards me, rather than cold.

I very much appreciate it.

You know how the candle never burns evenly and you always have an inchor two of wax left in the bottom, maybe the wick is gone, or the wick has reached the metal and won't light.

They work great for wax tarts too, just use a left over jar candle that you may have hanging around.

EDITED-I write this edit sheepishly, but believe in telling the truth, and it may help another consumer. After the initial event that created the rant below I decided to try and fix the unit myself. When I unplugged the heater and placed it on the work bench I noticed a small vent like structure above the main intake screen on the back. I have been very good about cleaning the large removable screen but never noticed the smaller grate/screen right above it. It appears this may be where a temp/intake air sensor may reside. Bottom line is that my heaters sensor was completely covered with dust. I vacuumed it off with a vacuum brush attachment and tried plugging in, and turning on the unit one more time. Guess what? It seems to work perfectly now including reading the correct ambient air temperature. I'm a little red faced about this but felt I had to return here with the truth. I'm fairly convinced that the dust had sufficiently covered the sensor enough to cause erroneous readings that led to the unit shutting off. I have gone back and given this unit a "Like It" rating of four stars, not because I was wrong, but because it's functioning perfectly. There's the truth and nothing but.

ORIGINAL-Well, well, well, what do you know!? Another fine hunk of crap built in crap land! I purchased this product through Amazon in September of this year and it died this morning, Dec 19th 2012. This product was carefully taken out of the box, all instructions were followed, and it was placed in a living area of my home with no environmental strains placed on it in any way i.e. moisture, wind, or items placed on top of it. It worked just like it was supposed to until about three days ago. I noticed that the temperature setting would read a higher temperature than it actually was, when I first turned it on. Today when I entered the room where the unit is, the reading on the display said 79 and the unit wasn't running. I tried setting the adjustments per the instructions with no results. I tried unplugging and then plugging the unit back in several times with no results. Bottom line...this thing is F'ed! I haven't even thought about trying to call Duraflame. Like I have that kind of time? Like I should have to in the first place? I will try to fix it myself rather than contact the vendor(based on another persons review of their customer service). What a waste of money.

Its funny when you are shopping heaters and reading all the reviews. It seams like every heater has a good and a bad story. I bought a heater like this at a local store. It was the display model and I did not get the remote. My heater heats around 800 sg ft no problem. I live in a country house that is about 1600 sq ft. The house has a propane furnace and the heating bill for my first year prior to buying this heater was around 2000 gallons of propane. Last year I only purchased 500 gallons and I still have 250 gallons that I didnt use. To make a long story short. I will be buying another one of the identical heaters today to heat my entire house.. Most likely my propane bill will only change slightly since most of my usage last year was for cooking. Any product is going to have flaws or defects so with that being said I would highly recommend purchasing this heater. Ohh and my electric bill only changed 50 more bucks during the peak season

Whether I used a regular mop and bucket, my swiffer wet jet, or my hoover steam vac, I always ended up with a haze on my hardwood floors that I would clean off with a wipe or furniture polish. This is the first machine that leaves my floor shiny and without a haze. It is worth it just for that!!! I also like the job it does on my lineoleum. The first couple of times I used it on what I thought were clean floors because I had recently mopped them, I was surprised at how dirty the water was. After using this as my primary means to clean my floors (two maybe three times a week depending on traffic and what is going on in my household) I notice that my floors not only look cleaner, but also feel much cleaner on the few occassions when I am not wearing house slippers. This is so much better than the regular mopping.

I have read other reviews on the flip-it regarding water being left on the floor; when that does happen, I just go back over that section so that it will be taken care of. For the most part I don't care about a little water on the floor because I would have so much more if I had the mop and bucket or used my steam vac. I am sold!

I was torn between the Hoover and Bissell models each seemed to have good and bad points. So I got both, with the idea that I'd return the one that was less capable to do the job. What I found was that both have different pluses, and ended up keeping them both.

The Spinscrub has the advantage in cleaning power. The spinning brushes do a better job on getting tile floors clean, especially rough surface tile. It's also more sturdily built feels more solid (although that sometimes does not translate into longevity). It's the one I use for large tile expanses, such as in the kitchen and basement. But, the 15 inch width is a drawback in tighter spaces, such as bathrooms.

The Flip-it excels in maneuverability perfect for getting around obstacles (such as the toilet). Although it lacks spinning brushes, it has the advantage of a cloth pad which does a great job on smooth surfaces. The heat also helps out, especially with sticky messes. It doesn't turn the water to steam, but clearly kicks up the temp (I believe the spec's say 25 degrees).

I found the best way to use it is to start with the cloth pad attached. That helps even out the water distribution and also helps capture crumbs, pet hair, etc. After one pass with the cloth attached, remove it and put in the scrubby pad. That helps get the floor 99% dry (smooth surfaces) or 90% dry (rough surfaces).

The cloth pad really shines (no pun intended) when it comes to hardwood or laminate floors. Does a far better job than the Hoover in cleaning and water suction. I don't use the Hoover at all anymore on smooth floors regardless of the size of the room. It may take a bit longer with the Flip-it due to its smaller size, but the end result is much better.

Both are about equal when it comes to disassembly and cleaning a few parts to take out and clean, but nothing major. Cleaning the unit after using it is very important to keep the crud out of the seals to prevent leaks and clogs. Both have a washable filter, and both require that you dry the filter before using it again (tip get an extra filter so you're never without a dry, clean filter).

I tend to favor the smell of the Bissell cleaning solution, but the Hoover stuff is pretty good both have a nice "fresh" smell. Both brands clean equally well, and are priced about the same. Lowes carries the Bissell brand; Walmart carries Hoover (at least in my area).

Bissell tends to be a nicer company when it comes to support. They offer replacement parts and supplies on their website at reasonable prices, and answer emails if you have questions. Hoover is not as responsive, and their direct-purchase prices are rather high.

One nit with the Bissell is that the cord is rather stiff wish it was more flexible. Also, the water cups (both clean and dirty) are smaller on the Bissell, so you need to fill-up and dump out more often than with the Hoover.

Regardless of which one you get, get one! You'll be amazed at the amount of dirt that wet mopping leaves behind. Once you start using one, you'll never pick up a mop again.

I used the Bissell Flip-It Select for the first time tonight. I detest mopping, but with a combination of both linoleum and tile floors in my house, it is a must. So in looking for an alternative to mopping, I hoped for the best with this product. I was not disappointed. Vacuuming first with the dry vacuum side is an excellent alternative to sweeping the floor. After using the wet vacuum side with the heated solution/water mixture, not only was my bathroom linoleum (which had a thick build up of sticky hairspray) cleaned marvelously, but also my tile kitchen floor. The unit is lightweight and easy to use. The filter did get clogged with dirt and hair, but the sound of the motor changed when the suction stopped, so I unplugged it and cleaned the dirty wet/dry container and filter, put it back together, plugged it in, and suction was completely restored. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase after only one use. I will recommend it to friends and family alike.

Honest reviews on BISSELL Flip-!t Select Hard Floor Cleaner with Heat, 7340

This machine is so easy to use! I love the option of cleaning my tile floors with heat or no heat, depending on the grime! The mop pad works very well on my sealed hardwood while the brush worked excellent on my grout! I didn't have to go over anything twice and my floors looked great when I was finished! The "flipping" action is also very easy as this machine is lightweight! I love not having to use a mop and bucket and its even better now that this product offers heated cleaning! Great job!

I have carefully analyzed all the reviews (positive and negative) before deciding to buy this product in order that the right level of expectation may be set. My need is very simple. I have almost all hard floors in my house, either tile or hardwood. So floor keeping is a relatively low maintenance chore. I know Flip-It serves both as a dry vacuum and wet mop. Knowing that both dry and wet debris are going into the same place and I want to eliminate the messy task of cleaning out the wet gunk, so I opt to use the cleaner solely as an electric mop.

I like the idea that while it is mopping, the machine can also take care of the small amount of debris that I missed in my "pre-mopped" vacuuming. It does take some practice to get the machine to do the job right. Although I don't have the problem of puddles of water as other have experienced, I have other issue such as the cleaning pad kept sliding out. I find the maneuvering quite exhausting due to the squeegee design. Also, my finger gets very tired from squeezing the solution release button. I don't find the cleaning result dramatic perhaps because my floors are normally quite clean. The machine will not get to the wall edges so it won't eliminate manual laboring. I'm also not sure if the heating feature does anything to produce a cleaner floor since the water temperature does not felt very warm. After two days of experimentation, I decided that the machine is going back to the store. For light mopping, I am going back to my Swiffer Wetjet. It is cheaper, quiet, lighter, easy to use, and best of all, no cleaning up required.

Review of Delonghi TCH7590ER - Ceramic Fan Heater with Remote Control

Customer Ratings:

I got this product because I live in an attic space and need the extra heat in the winter at night. Well, first of all this thing is loud. If you're a light sleeper, don't get this. Second, if you even scoot it along the floor (not even tilting it but just scooting), it shuts off. Every time the heat goes on or off depending on the thermostat, there's a loud beep. If you scoot it, there's a loud beep. If you do anything to it there is a loud beep. This heater is very annoying and I will soon be replacing it.

When my old Lasko heater died (the one whose remote control button function locations did not match the same function locations on the similar-shaped control panel on the unit a stupid design error), I looked for a different brand model heater that came with a remote control.

I thought I had found a reasonable substitute in this model, until I set it up and ran through the functions on the remote control, supposedly "the same functions as included on the control panel".

Guess what highly useful feature that I use frequently when I wish to adjust my heater before falling asleep withOUT getting out of bed got left OFF the remote control that comes with this machine:

THE TIMER.

THERE IS NO TIMER SETTING ON THE REMOTE CONTROL.

Whatever other features this machine has that might be nice, this machine is functionally useless to me, and I must return it.

Temperature sensor was bad on my heater...intermittently. This happen a couple of months after the purchase and Delonghi would not respond to my email.

Currently, the heater is broken (1.5 year old). The heater automatically turns off after a couple of minutes, in which it does not put out any heat during those few minutes. I'm shopping for a new heater now...hopefully the Lasko doesn't fail me.

Definitely works better in large rooms! One annoyance is if you some much as gently pick it up, it resets itself. Other than that, it's a phenomenal heater!

(caveat-I have only used this heater for 1 day)

Pros: small/easily placed, quiet fan, rotation (can be turned off), effective heat (at least for small space (area around a desk chair); I have not tried a large space), low price (I paid $40 from J&R)

Cons: high-pitched loud beep that sounds every time you change anything, including upon turning on and turning off, fan has only medium and high settings, no low setting

If you want a thermostat-controlled fan space heater then this is good for the price. If you want something with adjustable heat, this is not it. Heat is either on or off, depending on the temperature you set and the temperature that the heater's thermostat measures. If you want a little extra heat where you are sitting (e.g. chilly office), this is NOT a good solution because instead of providing a steady, low supply of heat that you can adjust according to your environment, the heater will just keep turning on and off according to the temperature setting. Every on and off is accompanied by a loud beep not really appropriate in an office.

If I had known that every change in setting and every on and off would be accompanied by a loud beep, I would not have bought this product.

This space heater apparently also acts as a space cooler-you might want to confirm that.
