These portable heat pumps are good. I have the 12000 btu version as well. If you try to cool a room a couple degrees just realize how long your furnace or air condition takes to accomplish the same task. Do not over size as this will cause the compressor to short cycle plus it will not have a chance to dehumidify. Try to heat/cool open spaces. Once unit catches up to set temperature it maintains it well. This is not a miracle fix all, give the unit time.

I was a little hesitant ordering this knowing that it wasn't a GE-manufactured part. However, it seems to be constructed nearly identically, and the dual-element design (over the original single-element) seems to be more effective during the defrost cycle. I watched a youtube video (search for 'Refrigerator Defrost Heater GE WR51X10101' on youtube) in order to verify my install. It was pretty straightforward, and indeed the dual-element heater fits with no problems in place of the single-element heater. So far, so good. I'll update my review in case of early failure.

This a great heater. It blends unobtrusively into the room. Just set it to the desired temprature and watch it take over! It has 5 different heat settings which automatically go up or down depending on the temprature setting. It quietly warms up the entire room without the heat blast "in your face" that other heaters have. Great for the early winter time when you need some heat and avoid turning the full house heat on. I have 3 bedroom floor (about 1000 sq feet) and this heater was enough when the outside temp was in the low 40's and I did not need to turn the house heat on.

This portable hydronic heater works very well on a plug in 120vac receptacle and is very economical versus the regular convection heaters which keep you either too hot or too cold. It keeps my smaller room at a constant and comfortable temperature as per my setting. The reason for the 4 rating is the digital readout and controls are too low. I have to get on my hands and knees to set them, which isn't all too often, however It would be nice if Marley would either incorporate a remote control or position the readout and controls at a more convenient level. I also wish Marley would make this heater in a smaller version, like approx. 36-48 inches as I do have a need for a less lengthy one. Some other manufactures have smaller ones but they all require 240VAC and are not portable since they must be attached to a wall and do require an additional wall mounted thermostat. No thanks, too expensive and too complicated and involved for me!

We purchased the Duraflame Portable Infrared Quartz Fireplace from Northern Tools, via Amazon. This is one of the best purchases ever; we love it! We live in Michigan and wanted something to warm our family room where we spend most of our time without turning up the main furnace. Duraflame is one of the top brands for safety and dependability. The unit is cool to the touch, and the flames are surprisingly realistic. The 1500 watts is more than adequate to heat our family room of 26 feet by 12 feet with a 9 foot ceiling. There is a low hum from the unit, but it isn't annoying. The Duraflame was purchased in late September 2012 and has been in use every morning and evening October through December (about 8 hours each day). Duraflame says their basic units will cost approximately $30 per month if used 8 hours per day. This unit has a programable temperature, so the unit will use less energy. Come warm weather, we'll wheel the unit into the spare room. We highly recommend Duraflame's Portable Infrared Quartz Fireplace thank you Amazon, and kudos to Northern Tools for their great service and incredibly fast shipping.

I LOVE the Soft Heat electric blanket we bought on Amazon, so I thought a heated furniture cover would be perfect for those cold winter nights. What I got in the mail is a way too small furniture cover sold with a hard uncomfortable way too small heating pad. The back is too short and falls forward. The arms are to short so my dog can still drool on the couch . The cord of the pad is to short to reach the wall and my outlet is right behind the sofa. The heating pad is only about 12" wide and hard a rock. So can only keep one dog or person warm. The pad is so hard even my dog wouldn't lay on it.

I bought this item because I thought it would be long enough on the back so it wouldn't slide off. It slides off constantly and even with tucking I have to rearrange it when ever I sit down. I have a leather sofa and I'm sure that significantly contributes to the problem. I kept it for too long thinking I could add bungy cords or elastic to hold the back in place. Alas I haven't gotten to it and have passed the return date. I know the problem wouldn't be as bad with fabric sofas but even so, the drape is still loose and will shift with repeated movement I have seen some that actually have elastic to hold them. I never used the heated feature which can be removed so I can't comment. I think the best option would be using a slip cover for about the same purchase price. Overall it is well constructed and better than most I've seen on the market.

I put this heater in my daughter's bedroom in December 2006. It keeps her room heated throughout at a consistent temperature in the cold months. The unit is never hot to the touch and uses little electricity. Our pets love to lay right next to it on a cold day. I have always been a little nervous about the burn and fire hazards associated with space heaters, but feel perfectly safe with this one. Steady on it's feet, also with all the activity, I would have expected it to get tipped over a few times by now, but it hasn't. I am getting ready to order another for the living room.

Best Deals for Soleus HGW-308R Micathermic Flat Panel Portable Heater

My wife and I fell in love with this heater as soon as we took it out of the box and plugged it in. It produced almost immediate radiant heat, very pleasant!. It takes a little while for the convection aspect to kick in. The heater draws in the cooler air at floor level. The warm panel draws the cooler air up between the back of the heater and the wall. The narrow one-inch space between the wall and the back of the heater speeds up the flow of air, producing a sort of Venturi effect, which is what makes the air in the room circulate.

We questioned whether the thermostat and eco mode were working properly. The heater has an automatic eco mode. When the room temperature reaches the desired thermostat setting, the heater reduces it's power consumption from 1500 watts to 1000 watts. However, the eco mode always kicked in before reaching the room temperature that we set on the heater's thermometer. So, I don't know if this was a defect, or if this is the way it's designed, but it defeats its purpose by lowering heat output when the room has not even warmed to the thermostat setting.

If it weren't for these two problems I would have given it a 5.

Editing...After the shipping woes I described below, I found the EXACT SAME cooler at a large home improvement store that is in most areas. It's under the brand "Polar", but it is identical and made by the same company. There is nothing different about it. Same motors, same design, etc., and it was $199. I can tell you it keeps water very cold. My wife is not a fan of the energy saving "kettle" feature. It doesn't keep water hot so you can step up and get a cup of tea anytime you want. You have to press the button and 3-4 minutes later water will be tea/coffee hot. This is fine if you plan every part of your day. It sucks if you want to make a mug of tea on your way out the door and you forgot to hit the button 5 minutes prior.

First, I'll tell you that I have no idea if this dispenser keeps water at perfect cold or hot temps. I don't know if it easy to change bottles or to clean it. I was never able to get that far because Amazon can't ship this item anywhere without it being trashed. What I can tell you is that you should not buy this until Amazon figures out how to package this so that it can arrive in a form that resembles a water cooler. I wish I were kidding. This is a thin metal shell. It's nothing special, but what do you expect? It's a cooler, not a structural support beam. However, when you have thin metal containers, you'd think it should be protected from bumps and dings, right? This cooler could be creased with your bare hands, so sending it in a PLAIN CARDBOARD BOX with a small piece of stryrofoam on the top and bottom (Nothing on the sides!!! Are you kidding me??) is a recipe for disaster. I ordered this via Prime, and it arrived 2 days later. The cheap box was beat up. It had gone through the UPS wringer, that's for sure. When I yanked it out, there it was. The side was creased in about 2". Also, the top plastic cover was cracked from a ding or fall it took. I called Amazon and expressed my displeasure at the packaging and asked for a replacement. They sent one next-day via FedEx. Unfortunately this one was in even WORSE shape. The side was so bashed in the cover had zero chance of going back on. What a disaster. This would be an easy fix if they would simply put the cooler with its box in a bigger box and actually protected the product. So, until someone can verify that this cooler is packaged as if they actually wanted it to arrive in one piece, I would stay away.

I love this water cooler. It is very nice looking, with the water bottle underneath and out of sight. It has hot, cold and room temperature water. I have had other water coolers and this one is the best one yet.

Best Deals for Vitapur Bottom Load Water Dispenser

The Vitapur Bottom Load Water Dispenser is perfect! I haven't used the hot water dispenser, as I use it for cold water only. It cools the water perfectly-enough to fill a couple glasses at a time before more needs to be cooled. The motor (? or pump?-whatever makes the water go up from the bottle to the holding tank) is a bit loud. Since I have it in the dining room, it's not an issue for me, but if someone wanted to put it in a room where noise would be a factor, I wouldn't recommend it for that location.

I was concerned about having it shipped, based on some reviews stating they arrived damaged. I had NO ISSUES whatever with shipping. The box had a couple dents, but nothing was dented/scratched on the water dispenser. It worked perfectly right away.

It's nice to be able to slide the water bottle underneath, and not have the extra vertical space taken up by a water bottle.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I really want to say great things about the Frigidaire Monaco Vertical Wall Hanging LED Fireplace the picture makes it look so warm, inviting and cozy. When the box arrived, the same picture was shown there as well and I couldn't wait to hang it up and then snuggle in on the couch with a "fire" and a good book. I will say that set-up was easy it was well packaged and the directions were easy to follow.

However, this unit never made it onto my wall. We plugged it in to test it out and the "flames" just looked like blinky orange LEDs. WAY disappointing.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I would argue that some of the prior reviewers were a bit too harsh in their assessment of this electric fireplace. True, if you're looking for an absolutely realistic rendition of a fireplace, you will likely be disappointed by this product. But in terms of it doing what it is meant to do (provide soft lighting plus/minus heat in an attractive package), this fireplace does deliver. Yes, it is fair to call it a glorified space heater, but it's a space heater that is elegant and attractive to have on the wall even in a formal room. The flames are stylized and kind of mesmerizing in the way that the lava lamp I had in college was mesmerizing. I do find it to be soothing and relaxing to watch the "flames." The heat is also very pleasant.

On the other hand, I agree with those who suggested that this fireplace is too expensive. If it cost half as much ($200 instead of $400 retail, and selling for $150 with the Amazon 25% discount), the price would then be commensurate with the value of the product. It is also very heavy at around 35 pounds. If you're not much of a handyman, consider hiring someone to install it for you, especially if you're planning to run the electric cord inside the wall so that it doesn't show. Finally, the fireplace does not automatically switch off after a set amount of time, so it's probably best to avoid falling asleep with it on unless you want to risk it turning into a real electrical fire.

Best Deals for Frigidaire MWF-10304 Monaco Vertical Wall Hanging LED Fireplace

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I thought this electric fireplace would be a great, stylish way to provide additional heating elements to a room and add to the design aesthetic of the room. After watching so many renovation shows with these types of fireplaces...I thought it would be fun.

First, after reading the other reviews about this device, I decided NOT to wall mount it before viewing the flame effects for myself. I'm glad I did. The cheesy flames really detract from the experience, making this 'fireplace' a giant, expensive space heater rather than a cool addition to a room's ambiance.

Second, there is no thermostat with this fireplace. It would have been nice to have a thermostatic setting to enable the fireplace to shut off (or at least the heat to dial down) when it reached a certain level or temp. No dice. It's either high or low. It does (supposedly) have a safety feature where it will shut off if it overheats.

Third, it's BIG. And you're supposed to mount it at least 3 feet from the ceiling and other objects for optimum heat ventilation. Given that it's about 3 feet high...well, you really don't have much wiggle room unless you have very high ceilings. That and the fact that I have a colonial-style home with chair rails in every room except for the bedrooms...well, that again limited where I could mount this puppy. They also suggest that it be at least 2 feet off the floor for 'optimum viewing'.

On the plus side, it seems (in my test) that the heat output seems to be good and it does come with a remote control. But you're paying a premium for what is, essentially, a space heater. The LED simulated fire is NOT worth the extra $200 you're spending for this form factor. Skip it.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire MWF-10304 Monaco Vertical Wall Hanging LED Fireplace

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This could have been such a fabulous product. The case and external presentation is relatively attractive; it does work nicely as a space heater in a smallish space. If the "realistic LED flames" were not so horribly awful, it would be a nice addition to many a room.

However, the "flames" are just dreadful. They are orange ribbons, ala the northern lights, that stream from the bottom of the frame upward, kind of like staring at the yellow lines on the highway but upside down. In an effect similar to staring at the yellow lines on the highway, looking at the fireplace for any length of time at all actually makes me motion sick. And I'm not really all that susceptible to motion sickness. Even my dogs quickly averted their eyes from it.

Having heard rumors that the display was not very appealing, I did not go through the extensive mounting process that is to be done before turning on the unit, instead propping it up on some thick plywood just to see how things went. I certainly won't be mounting it, now, but if I did, I think I would seek out some different hardware than that provided; I used bigger screws and drywall anchors to hang a quilt last week than come with this very hefty space heater.

I really can't believe somebody looked at this product and thought it was ready to market. I have $25 holiday decorations that have a better graphics display than does this unit. Just such a disappointment!

Blows about as much air and as much heat as if you'd propped up a small hair dryer. About as LOUD as a hair dryer, too.

Things unclear in the picture:

The adjustment allows you to swivel it on the bar in that position, not change its position on the bar.

It's tiny. It's about the same size as two hair dryers, side-by-side, and almost as loud.

It does make warm air, but it does so VERY LOUDLY.

Did I mention it's LOUD?

If you turn one on to take a relaxing bath in a warm environment, this is loud enough to startle you each and every time it pops back on, from over six feet away.

For about the same price, you can get a Vornado Vortex Heat Whole Room Compact Portable Electric Space Heater EH1-0025-01, which is nearly silent, and does the same job in about the same amount of space, with MORE air flow. Silly me, I shoulda bought another one when someone 'borrowed' my heater and never gave it back.

Because the heat lamp concept is not common in bathrooms, and most of the reviews were a bit vague, I was ambivalent about the purchase. After installing and using one, here is what I know.

The bathroom is of typical size; 7 by 9 feet including the shower, and an 8 foot ceiling. If your ceilings are high, you will not want this product. You immediately feel the difference in warmth from waist to head height. You will want the lamp positioned over your chilliest spot. The heat diminishes quickly stepping side to side. It will not heat your bathroom. It is not meant to be installed in the shower, or over a tub.

Like ceiling fans, the installation is not easy, especially with low pitch roofs. Crawling around in an attic, avoiding falling between the joists, is never fun. This is not an insulated enclosure, so you will have to make provisions to hold the insulation back 3 inches. As always, installing it in new construction is far easier. If you are remodeling the room, this is the time to get one.

Install a timer switch with it. At 250 watts, you will not want to forget to turn this off. I have not touched the inner enclosure to see how hot it gets, and I am not willing to test its limits. Use it when you are there, and then TURN IT OFF.

My two regrets; first, that I was not able to install it in front of the shower. That would be ideal. Second, that I did not go with the two bulb version. I believe the difference would be significant. This is not like walking into a toasty room. The effect of the bulb is immediate, and localized. Plan accordingly.

FYI: a decision will have to be made as to what version of bulb to get. According to Osram Sylvania, the red, clear, and frosted bulbs, create the same amount of heat. However, the clear and frosted bulbs put out considerably more lumens of visible light than the red. Red is often chosen to remind people that the lamp is on.

We were unable to use the heater once we read the installation instructions. It can not be put into any ceilings with insulation. You have to purchase the fan with the blower attached, and we don't want a blower attached, because we spent a lot of money on a super quiet fan for our bathroom, and did not want to add a noisy blower. We wanted to return it, but the shipping charges to return the product were more than $30, so we are stuck with it.

Honest reviews on Broan 161 Infrared Single-Bulb 250-Watt Heater

The only drawback, if you can call it that, is that the bulb, although screwed in fully, juts past the assembly a bit. We decided to let it go as it works well. It is only a minor cosmetic issue and actually the photo indicates it is not entirely flush with the assembly unit. The entire unit works well and is a nice added feature to our new bathroom.

I put this in my 1978 sears heater and it works Great ! i didint replace my fuel filter as my heater has a filter screen in the fuel fill.I couldnt believe this fits a heater that old ! just make sure when you replace air filters that you torque the screws evenly all around to prevent air leaks.And scrape all old gasket material off the pump.
