What a beautiful space heater. This heater throws a lot of heat and it's attractive. We've installed it in our finished basement that has no other source of heat (this is upstate NY people) and the heater keeps the room toasty. Well made, can't say enough about how much we like this heater.

This is a very nice electric fireplace for the money! It added a lot to our living room! The only thing I would have liked to see would have been a setting on the remote for the thermostat.

I bought this item for my parents.It took 3 shipments to get one that didn't have broken glass doors. It was sent in two boxes but Amazon only sent 1 return shipping label. After numerous phone calls they finally understood and sent another. This happened with both of the returns.The product(once we got one that wasn't broken)worked well.My parents love the look and the warmth it produces.

Honest reviews on Dimplex CFP3920BW 20-Inch Electric Fireplace, Burnished Walnut

Sadly, my fireplace was shipped without a piece, the bracket to hold the glass panel in. The panel still fits snug, and until I get the piece from Customer Service, it seems to stay in place fine anyway. The flame effect is surprisingly,very good. I did not expect it to be as life-like as it turns out. The heater is very quiet, and actually warms both my living room and dining room, an area approximately 30 x 15, to a comfortable degree. I agree with the poster above that a separate setting for the thermostat and flame would have been great. Also, since it is RF, it doesn't work with my Harmony One remote, but the remote is small and only has an "on" and an "off" button. One strange thing, I looked on the Dimplex site, and can not find this model. Even if it was a closeout, shouldn't they still list the model?

I received this last evening. It arrived in two large boxes and required assembly. It is the assembly instructions that prevent me from giving the fireplace 5 stars. While the mantle/hearth was relatively intuitive, the fireplace connections to the hearth were separate and not as simple as they could have been. There is little good instruction regarding the installation of the glass front (which was pristine upon arrival).

Now to the good: Wow! The fireplace, both wood and fake fire are top quality when compared to others I've seen in big box retailers and it was considerably less money.

The remote turns on and off the unit only which makes good sense to me. The only reason I would have to adjust the thermostat would be if I were to move the fireplace to a different room. The thermostat is easily adjustable and the flame and heat can be controlled separately. The noise made from the unit is less than the space heater I'd been using in the basement and is certainly far more attractive.

I'm very pleased with the quality, fit, finish and look of this unit and I expect to enjoy it for years to come.

UPDATE: I've had this heater for almost two years now (12/12)and while I will admit that the heater has gotten a bit noisier, it's still more quiet than most other free-standing heaters. The flame and all other components are as good as the day I put it together. It heats well and the flames are as vibrant as ever.

Still Recommended!

Mr. Heater 75,000 BTU 12-Foot Propane Hose Assembly #F273702 Review

I bought this hose because I wanted to maximize the safety, usefulness and economy of the propane Portable Buddy heater by Mr Heater. You can't go wrong buying this hose!

1. It allows the use of a larger LP tank (I have a 20 lb cylinder). I am certain the savings from buying LP fuel in bulk will pay for the hose.

2. You can locate the bulk tank a good distance away from the lit heater. I use the heater primarily in my garage, and with the hose I can put the heater up on a shelf or on the workbench, off the floor, and still have the bulk tank in a convenient and safe spot.

3. The hose can be used with any propane appliance that uses disposable propane cylinders.

Here's an essential safety tip when using this hose: be sure to shut/close the valve on the bulk tank BEFORE you remove the hose from the tank. It's possible to remove the hose end from the bulk tank without closing the tank valve and you will quickly find out that liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is another name for stinky, oily mess when it comes squirting out of the valve as I've done.

I bought two of these hoses to attach to two 20lb propane tanks. Attaching to 20lb propane tanks is a huge savings over using the individual 1 quart propane cyclinders. Hoses work very well. The only thing to remember when attaching the hose to 20lb propane tanks is that the couplings are left hand threaded (i.e. you must turn to the left to tighten).

If you are buying the Mr. Buddy Heater, this hose (or the 5' model) are definately needed. By using the larger (20lb or bigger) tanks you have many more hours of operation without having to change the disposable tanks. This hose will also allow you to use bulk tanks with any propane appliance that accepts the disposable tanks (stoves, lantern, etc.).

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater 75,000 BTU 12-Foot Propane Hose Assembly #F273702

I bought this extended hose to keep the radiant heater hanging on the ceiling in my garage while allowing the tank to be a good distance away. While the POL style fitting worked fine for the 20Lb propane tank I have but the other end does NOT fit in the MH40LP gas inlet. It would've been nice to know what parts I needed before hand, now I will have to go to homedepot and do research on the parts I need or having to once again order off the internet and wait...

I, like a number of others, had the problem where the hose did not seem to allow propane through it (or at least no more than to keep the pilot light lit). I confirmed it was not the heater by using a 1 lb can which heated just fine. I also have two 20 lb tanks on my cargo trailer, and neither one would keep the heater lit other than the pilot light.

This made me think that the 20lb end was not going in far enough to engage the valve on the tank.

However, after doing about 1 hour of research, I found a factoid on the propane check valve, which is required on all propane tanks after 1998.

According to this article (just search for "reset propane check valve"), what happens is if you have a high-pressure line hooked up to the propane tank and just "quickly" open the valve on the tank, the check valve will "burst" (open) and gas will not be allowed through the tank into the line. (I think the tank thinks there is nothing connected to it, so the valve shuts off the gas)

Once this happens, you need to "reset" the valve:

a. Turn off the valve on the tank, leaving it connected to the heater/grill, etc.

b. Disconnect the hose from the propane tank, but not the appliance.

c. Turn on the appliance (or leave it running before step a), and let the pilot light or burner stay lit until it extinguishes (This will purge the remaining gas from the hose.

d. TURN OFF THE APPLIANCE.

e. Hook the propane tank back up, ensuring the valve is closed.

f. With the hose now hooked up to both the appliance and the tank, SLOWLY open the propane valve a 1/4 turn, and you should hear the hose pressurize. This has told the tank that there is something hooked to it, and the check valve did not engage.

g. Once you hear the hose pressurize, you can open the valve on the propane tank all the way.

Following these steps (simplified below), I was able to use the suspect hose on both propane tanks. I am a little perturbed that the manufacture of this hose does not tell you these cautionary notes, as the hose is solely used for bulk tank to throwaway can appliances. I wonder how many others have thrown away this hose because they too, did not know about the check valve? I have placed a sign on the Little Buddy Heater with the simple steps so I never have this problem again...

Here are the steps above summarized:

a. Turn off the propane tank with the appliance running and the hose disconnected from the tank so it burns all the propane in the hose.

b. Turn off the appliance. Connect the hose back to the (closed) tank valve

c. Crank the LP valve 1/4 turn with hose completely connected, listen for the hose pressurizing.

d. Slowly open rest of way. Appliance should light now.

Think very hard before buying this machine. We bought it with the hope it might actually cool down a room, or at least keep a room comfortable, but alas nothing of the sort was achieved. Instead we are left with a frightfully noisy and large thing that fails simply does not work.

It is besides a very poorly engineered machine, demanding that one spends half an hour at a time just adding or subtracting one of the hoses depending on how hot it is outside. And then one is left to refit it to the window, which cannot be done without copious amounts of unsightly gaffer tape. The instruction guide is so idiotically conceived as to explain, with an entire page of the booklet, how to fit batteries into the remote, yet not a word was written on how to connect any of the hoses, nor how to adjust the vent.

It should be a crime that such a machine be allowed to be sold. Do yourself a favor and buy something, anything, else.

I've got this unit in my bedroom, it's a small room of about 300 square feet. I live in Florida and it's very hot and humid for a large portion of the year. Works great, it's quiet, I've got several fans and they all make much more noise than this unit does. Even my little 12 inch desktop Sylvania is louder. It's a quiet humming that doesn't disturb. Keeps the room cool and blows cold air. It can keep my room at below 70 even in 100+ degree weather.

The dual hose system is nice, but it's been too hot for me to use it much. The manual recommends using a single hose if the outside temp is above 95, and it has been for a while here. I have used it that way on a couple of occasions when the temperature dropped into the low 90s. It does cool faster with both hoses hooked up, but can effectively cool my room even with a single hose with no trouble. It just takes a few more minutes to cool off. Switching out hoses is simple and only takes a moment to do. You just twist one end into the back of the unit and insert the adapter end into the window mount. If using single hose mode, the intake vent should be covered with one of the supplied vent covers.

It's also not a huge power draw. Heating mode does take quite a bit, a little more than 1200 watts, but cooling is a little less than 1000 watts. It's about the same as running my PC.

The manual is horrible and it's not made clear that you may have to do a bit of cutting to the window mounts for the hoses to get them to fit your window frame. It's the worst thing about this product, but looking up the instructions for another similar unit online did fill in the holes the user manual for this unit had.

For example, I had to use the instructions from another company's similarly designed dual hose AC to discover that the intake vent should be covered when running in single hose mode. It's not mentioned in the manual at all. Another tip is to extend the end of the intake/exhaust hoses out a bit before trying to screw on the window exhaust/intake adapters. The manual doesn't mention it, but they don't screw on properly unless you extend the hose a little on the end.

I considered taking a star off for those issues, but the unit is good enough to forgive them. It wasn't difficult to figure out what to do just based on how the parts fit together. The initial installation instructions are the only area that suffered. Operating the unit once installed is clear enough. It doesn't explain how to hook up the hoses and the window mounting section. It's not hard to figure out, but it did cause a moment of frustration. Once I figured it out, it mounted into the window with no trouble aside from a bit of trimming on the plastic sliding section [no tape or extra materials required].

It's an excellent product, well designed, and it works as advertised. It won't cool off a house, but will keep a 350 square foot room comfortable with ease even in extremely hot weather. The instructions are poorly written and not nearly as detailed as they should be, but as I said, filling in the holes with a user's manual PDF from another dual hose AC was easy to do and filled in any information gaps left in the poorly written instructions. I shouldn't have needed to do that, but it's not a problem with the unit itself.

It's a great AC unit with a horrible user manual. Worth every cent I paid for it, and I really don't think poor technical writing justifies a ding in the score. The unit itself is exactly what it says it is, and does exactly what it says its supposed to.

Nothing smells or looks like a real fire. However, the looks of this one comes close. We are enjoying it. Installed it in the summer and have been using the fireplace. Love the adjustable features. Just started using the heater and so far so good.

I purchased this as a gift for my wife and went through the instructions step by step in setting it up in an existing fireplace only to find that while it looks great it does not however produce hardly any heat at all. Unless you're standing, not sitting like you would a real fire place, but standing literally directly in front of it and over it you will not feel any heat. I contact the seller and was basically told that, "it was what it was", and I'd have to deal with it. Highly aggravated now since I already went through the not so simple task of trimming it out in order to fit the existing opening, as well as running wires up to the attic and then down behind the wall through to properly mount the thermostat control I now had to undo all I had accomplished in order to package it back up and send it back due to no cooperation or help of any kind from the seller. Amazon however was and usually are easy to deal with on returns. I would NOT recommend this product if you are expecting it to maintain some warmth in a room any bigger than a small bedroom or large closet. But again, we were impressed with it's all around look. So just don't purchase on any grounds to based on using it as a heater.

Sunbeam Tower Portable Room Air Fan Quartz Heater MaxFlow Radiant Reviews

Sunbeam Tower Portable Room Air Fan Quartz Heater MaxFlow Radiant Heat SQH310
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

Upon coming across a forum post asking for a heater recommendation, I came to Amazon in search for a purchase link to this particular model. Seeing as it's been given some harsh criticism, I felt obligated to throw in my .02.

First off Don't let the reviews scare you! This is an all-around excellent heater! Mine ran a solid 10 hours per night every night last winter and is already more than earning its keep this season.

The back, sides, and top/bottom of the front stay very cool to the touch. The hardwood directly in front barely gets warm after running all night. Not that it's recommended, obviously, but to make a pointI would not be nervous going to bed with this heater sitting on carpet.

Several people mentioned the carry handle being inadequate, and now that I think of it, it probably is. However, in the event you need to reposition the unit, simply grab it by both sides it's very lightweight and easy to do. Honestly, the thought of using the carry handle for repositioning never crossed my mind until reading a review here. Also, though it's never happened to me, it is fair to say the unit would be fairly easy to knock over due to its weight, or lack thereof, and height. However, the unit does have an excellent tip sensor evidenced by it's immediate cut-off while repositioning.

All in all, this heater does exactly what it was designed to do keep you warm!

I would not hesitate to buy again. Hope this helps!

I bought this heater over a year ago for $60. Originally I used it out in the garage for my friends that smoke. Considering I have an old house, heating it with the gas furnace got very expensive, over $300 / month for a small house. I started using this heater in the house, if I keep it on high it will keep the entire house warm. I generally leave it in my room and leave my room door open so it will heat the house. I recently purchased a second one I seen on sale online for $30. I will place it in the living room so I can keep both on a medium setting.

The downsides to this heater like some have mentioned before is that it does have a bright orange glow so at night this can be a little annoying. It can be uncomfortable to sit in front of due to the type of heat it emits, however it does not heat anything up to the point of being a fire hazard. Mine sits on thick shaggy style carpet. My dog even sleeps in front of the heater occasionally. The other downside to this heater is that it can be easy to tip over. I've never had an issue with this because I always place mine in a corner and face it towards the center of a room.

On another note I seen that someone had commented that this heater doesn't heat up the air well. I would disagree with this, although it may not heat up the air as fast as some fan models, this unit heats up the air evenly and quickly. Not to mention it cut my $300 gas bill to nothing (set my gas furnace to only kick on if temperature drops below 60). My electric bill only went up by about $40. So I gladly pay the $40 extra on my electric bill rather than the $300 to run a gas furnace.

I liked the heater when it worked on both settings. It's quiet and puts out a decent amount of heat. After two weeks it started shutting off after 3-15 minutes on High. Unplugging and turning it to Off for awhile allows it tostart again. It runs all day on Low but, of course, doesn't put out nearly as much heat. The other quibble is the "thermostat" isn't marked with the temperature. I tried to correlate it to a thermometer but found the settings varied quite a bit from day to day. On the plus side the front doesn't get hot and its a fairly attractive heater.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Tower Portable Room Air Fan Quartz Heater MaxFlow Radiant

Once these heaters heat up enough there is fuse which keeps them from turning on properly later. This should be fixed by the designer of the product and is called "bad design". I bought one from amazon and one from online Walmart and they both gave me problems. It's nice to be able to review a product like this.

I used this heater every winter for two years, with no problems. This winter, however, it shorted out and sparks were flying.

I ordered this kettle specifically to avoid heating up water in plastic. However, this kettle emitted a foul chemical odor that also transferred to the water. I boiled it a few times plus tried the water/vinegar suggestion in the brochure but nothing seemed to help. I decided that I didn't want to take the risk of drinking these unknown chemicals so I'm returning it it's not worth the risk. I can't figure out if it's coming from the "stainless steel" bulb (that feels like plastic to me if you tap on it) that covers the heating element or the plastic seal between the glass & the bulb. Plus the lid has a stong odor too & that is plastic covered in "stainless steel".

My biggest rave is the Amazon.com customer service. I fell in love with the look of this kettle and found the best price on Amazon.com (with free shipping!) When it arrived, it only worked if the kettle was oriented one way on the base -when it boiled, the water dribbled on the cord. Called Capresso Cust Svc -1st person said, it's supposed to do that. After another week, it got worse. Capresso would replace it if I paid it's shipping back to them. Called Amazon.com, got another in the mail days later, post-paid shipping back the first one to them. Wow! This kettle works just fine. Very rapid boiling of water, no complaints about anything. To keep the glass and that silver dome shiny, you do need to do the vinegar thing every now and again. Couldn't be happier.

I bought this kettle because I loved the glass carafe and that I could see the contents of the kettle and I really liked the overall design. But I was completely disgusted with the results!

I always use filtered water for cooking and drinking because I am quite sensative to tastes and odors in my water. The filtered water I put in this kettle tasted FINE, but after the boiling routine was complete, the water smelled and tasted like a swimming pool. I took a sip of tea I made from this kettle and spit it across the room (a la Kramer)! The most foul chemical smell and taste I have ever known. I cannot believe that anyone else using this kettle, or in fact the manufacturer, would not notice it. I washed the kettle with soap and emptied it after each use, but even after a week, the same foul contamination was occuring as a result of heating the water in this kettle. If I left a small amount of water in the kettle for even an hour, I could watch a thick chemical buildup forming on the chrome heating dome that I could wipe off with my finger, like a BAD science project.

I don't know what is wrong with this thing, but it is truly scary. I am warning all consumers to stay away from this chemical hazzard producer and find another way to heat your water!

Note: If you want to better understand the problem, walk into any Bed Bath & Beyond or Linens & Things store and sniff the inside of the carafe they have on display. There is clearly something wrong with the materials used in the manufacturing of this item. It CAN'T be safe.

I had mine for about 8 months and then the handle fell off while I was pouring a full kettle of boiling water into a teapot. I was lucky not to be badly burned. The handle is held to the lid with two small screws that are screwed into plastic. It looks cool, and maybe mine was somehow defective, but watch out (especially if you have small kids who might be in the way of the boiling flood).

Have had this for a month now and it works great. Heats fast, the level lines are nice ( not hard to see for me ), no dripping problems. But the silcone gasket around the heating element is still imparting a bit of an off taste and releases a plasticky smell. It's gotten a bit better but I still don't like it. The 'chrome' appears to be chromed plastic, didn't see that mentioned in description or reviews.

Absolutelty top-notch. I left it out in rain, shine and fog for 6 months now. Don't have the energy to get it inside each time it rains (and oh boy, did it rain this summer in Dallas!). Each time sun shines back, my hammock is as great-feeling, as shiny and as taut as new. This weekend I had a party in my backyard, and my guests turned on the rough heat a little bit they were even using it as a swing, three adults at a time. I was a little concerned, but at the end it was as if nothing happened. Kind of the feeling you get after you complete your first cross-state long drive with your Honda or Toyota you are concerned whether your car is OK, but that trip was not even as much as a dent on its mind-boggling robust engineering. Pawleys rocks!

Mine and my wife's inexperience at the beginning resulted in a very scarily tangled up knot all the hammock's ropes seemed to be tied to evry other piece of rope and passing through every other hole. But we slept on ot for a night, and gave it another shot next day. An intricate amount of mathematical calculations saved the day, and the hammock was straight again. It was us to blame in the first place be careful to handle the hammock the right way. While rolling up, use the wood bars at the ends as anchor. Do not try fancy styles or get inattentive while rolling it up or down.

This stove does a good job heating once the heavy cast heats up. It will take a 25" piece though they need to be a little on the slender side or just one large chunk. It heated up my 1000 square foot shop nicely. Put a fan behind it and it could do more. I would give it a higher rating but the price listed is considerably higher than what I paid 2 1/2 years ago. What is really expensive is the insulated pipe you will need to buy.

Bought this stove almost a year ago. We use it to heat our upstairs almost 1300 sq ft. This thing is a heat making machine. The only bad thing I can say is you only get a 4-5 hour burn when loaded and dampered down. Other than that it is a great stove for the money. If you are use to a pellet stove or high end wood burner you might find this stove to be to much work, but for me that is part of the enjoyment of heating with wood. I have read reviews complaining about smoke I think this is more operator error than the stoves fault. Please have your chimney as straight as possible any bends makes it harder to achieve a good draft. As well make sure you are using well seasoned hardwood to burn.

I have to comment that having only used this stove twice I can safely safe this is the biggest piece of junk I have ever purchased.

The engineer must have been thinking this was for display only and not for burning anything. Some of the upper seams leak smoke. The fire door does not sit tightly against the frame and you can see flame on the other side. The damper collar almost sits outside of its recessed place and therefore leaks smoke the most.

If you're willing to put the time in to study how this stove behaves you will discover that this is a great stove for the money. Remember it is not airtight and was not designed to be. So it can overfire pretty easily. But once you find the right amount to load into the stove and adjust the drafts properly, you will get a lot of good heat and save a TON of money (if you don't spend too much on the wood.) If you're getting smoke into your house it's because you don't have the proper chimney draft. You MUST heat the chimney first BEFORE you start burning the wood.

The filter seems to be working fine so far, but it is too early to tell

I will post more later if anything changes.

Great value. I checked out MER rating and compared with 3M we had been getting. These are very comparable for 1/3 the cost

My order arrived yesterday. I took one out, of the box, and held it up in the sunlight. It is easy to see that this is well made, and made of quality materials. I have purchased many HVAC filters before (good and bad). I have no doubt that these are as good as any I have used. P.S. I bought these on-line because my size is hard to find.

says 20x24, actual size is more like 19x22.5 I'm not sure as the air handler turns on/off that it doesn't cause the filter to shift around. It works, but it would be nice if the size was accurately represented.

I really wanted a corner fireplace, I already have an amish fireplace, so I ordered stonegate Corner Fireplace. When it arrived, it had so many parts, and not good directions, and when we DID start to screw pieces together, the whole thing fell apart. I paid $300 for this? My husband went to the hardware store and bought screws that would hold together, it took 2 1/2 hrs to get it together after we figured out how and used store bought screws that worked. I was very disappointed in this product for the price I paid for it. It is together and in my kitchen, but the pressed board like material that they gave us for this was very poor, I would not recommend it to anyone until they refamp the material and get better directions and materials that will hold this fireplace together.

Purchased this heater a few weeks ago. Easy to install, simple hose extention and brass nipple along with a low pressure regulator. Took more time finding the parts at the store than actually hooking it all up.

Make sure you wrap all threads with pipe tape prior to tightening, and test the connections for leaks (dishsoap and water mixture...leak will blow bubble). After all properly tightened, fire it up!

Thoughts on the heater: puts out an enormous amount of heat, especially for price. Does not come with feet, so it needs to be wall mounted, feet purchased, or some kind of stand fabricated so it is off the floor surface. I used 2 cinder blocks. Pretty stable, but I plan on getting feet of some kind for tip prevention.

Draw back: radiant head pretty much goes straight up, so if you are like me and work in a non insulated garage with open rafters, most of your heat will be leaving the work shop. However, you can get the attachable fan, or just use a tall oscillating fan on low to evenly spread the warmth.

**side note** everywhere I could read, this unit is said to be used with no less than a 100lb propane tank. While this might be true if you are using this heater in place of a regular home furnace, or you are keeping your garage regulated at a certain temperature; I am currently running off of a 20lb bbq grill tank with no issue. I leave it on for 1-2 hours and have not yet had any freeze up issues from over drawing the tank.

I bought this as backup heat for the winter and had it installed in my fireplace this is a really good heater. Looks nice in my den.The ad says it is for a garage but I had it placed in my den fireplace and it looks really nice.You cannot leave the pilot on as it will heat your house up.My house is 1550 sq.ft. so I believe it will heat the whole house in the event we have a power failure as I only got it for backup anyway. Great looking heater will most definetly buy this heater again.Have already recommend it to family members.

Bought this heater in 2011, for our detached garage(approx 20' X 25')which my husband uses as his "club house". He's as comfortable out there, as he is in our house with central heat. Quality product, prompt delivery, and great vendor.

Honest reviews on ProCom Dual Fuel Vent-Free Blue Flame Garage Heater - 30,000 BTU

Purchased in mid-October 2012 to replace wood stove and 30+years old forced-air furnace (although instructions caution the unit is not to be used as primary heat source), installed mid-November. Ordered white/no blower, got black. Roughly $250 for the stove, $200 for independent/retired/laid-off contractor installation: Two of three natural gas appliance installers said they "don't touch them" (meaning small gas heaters generally) for vague reasons; natural gas supplier's sub-contractor half again as expensive. Hung the unit on the living room wall myself (single/divorced female, 62); hanging took maybe an hour, gas hookup involved 4 hours (mostly in/out of the basement to cut/thread heavy-iron piping on threader set up in the driveway).

Home is a roughly 1300 square-feet (one large bedroom, one very small bedroom converted to walk-in closet/storage upstairs), 200-year-old fieldstone farmhouse--some new windows and attic protection but, for all intents, uninsulated. Half the downstairs (4 rooms/~800 square feet) heated in Michigan winter. Purchased unit precisely *as* primary heat source.

Unit's been up/running for a little over two weeks with outside temperatures/weather ranging from low 50's to mid-teens/20's with wind/rain/snow. Thermostat dial offers settings 1-6; set it on mid-2 for more-than-adequate heat through living room/bedroom/kitchen/bath with aide of ceiling fan in living room. No doubt whatever that it will handle a Real Michigan Winter.

Unit is attractive (actually prefer the black), unobtrusive, virtually silent. Slight odor of gas as thermostat/flame kicks on/off. No hard cool-down/heat-up of rooms like the old forced-air "blast" furnace; heat is as radiant/consistent as a wood stove without the work (which I loved when I could do it) and mess of wood. With the gas line piping in place, replacement, if ever necessary, would amount to the cost of a new unit.

Unit has not been in operation long enough to require cleaning. Waiting for first gas bill.

So far, I have no criticism of this unit whatever. It is perfectly lovely.

UPDATE 01/01/2013

First natural gas bill covered roughly 3 weeks' use, was easily half what the old furnace would have used/cost. Wall behind and 4-6" immediately above the mounted heater stays surprisingly cool, wall above that gets very warm but not too hot to touch/blister paint/be dangerous. Am considering purchase of another while price is reasonable.

I. love. this. heater.

UPDATE 03/22/2013

BACKGROUND FROM 10/2012: Home is a roughly 1300 square-feet (one large bedroom, one very small bedroom converted to walk-in closet/storage upstairs), 200-year-old fieldstone farmhouse--some new windows and attic protection but, for all intents, uninsulated. Half the downstairs (4 rooms/~800 square feet) heated in Michigan winter. Purchased unit precisely *as* primary heat source.

TODAY, 3/22/2013: Nearly through first Michigan winter with this heater as only heat source. Thermostat dial offers settings from 1 to 6; have never set above high-2/the line between 2 and 3. Have to set at lowest setting when outside temperatures reach 30-degrees. Operation is dependable, takes 1/2-hour or so to heat house from dead-cold, flame/heat is even and consistent. Haven't had to clean jets; will do that at the end of the season. The only nuisance has been a slight pale grey dusty residue/deposit noticeable on dark woodwork--byproduct of ventless natural gas combustion; it's probably on walls/drapes too but they're white/beige, cleaned every spring anyway. No noticeable condensation whatever. Haven't purchased second unit yet--may not need to except as backup/replacement *in case* anything goes wrong next year. Again/still: I. love. this. heater!

I was looking to replace an overhead heater in my garage. The repair man who checked out the heater suggested I try this Pro Com heater and even brought me one to try out. The advantage of this heater is its dual gas options, either LP or NG. Since my old heater was connected to NG, it was easy to connect to the NG line.We put in a flex connection and the shut off valve. I really wanted something to hart my 28 ft sq double garage so I could do some woodworking projects. Boy did it do the job. It was 38 degrees when I stared it up and within an hour it was up to 50 degrees and getting warmer. I am thrilled with the results. I do shut it off when I leave the garage when I am done working. You can buy a fan to install in the back, but it not worth the money, I chose to put a oscillating fan in back above the heater and it really helps disperse the heat. It does not come with legs so you might want to order them from Northern Tools for about $17. I bought my Pro Com from Menards for $139 ... Great Buy. Two friends came to see how the heater worked and are headed to Menards to buy one. If you are concerned about carbon monoxide don't be, bot install one if that is a concern you have. I'm sold on this heater.

Happy in Nebraska

Update: I did order the legs to go with it. It adds a lot of stability if you use it as a stand alone. After reading the manual again, I did notice that it does say that if you are using LP, use a 100 lb tank. Yet, I did see one review where a person used a 20 lb tank. So... what gives? I'm using natural gas so, it not a concern to me right now.

Living in the South, it is difficult to get out of the heat. Our central air just does not keep up with the heat here. So I had a handy-man install the Frigidare 8,000 BTU unit in my home/office room.

It has been running constant, night and day since April without missing a beat. I can turn the temp down to "cold" and it works just fine. It runs quiet and cools me off.

In fact our electric bill has been less since I had it installed... go figure.

I highly recommend this unit.

I replaced a 1967 15,000 with my new 8,000btu A/C., demensions were the same,14 1/2" x 24".I did a direct mount through the wall and sprayed "Great Stuff" foam insulation to fill the 1/4" gap on each side and top. This has a sound berrier effect. When I point my 20" box fan toward my bedroom and turn it on medium speed, I can not hear my new Frigidaire FRA086HT1 8,000 BTU Through-the-Wall Air Conditioner running, unless I stand in front of it. It cools our bedroom, kitchen and my office located directly across from it. I will be buying a 5,000btu for my bedroom next spring.

Sitting in the same room with this air conditioner is like sitting on the wing of a 747. Very loud hum from fan. It does a great job cooling if you can stand the noise. Not recommended for a room with a television. You'll be turning up the volume and going to bed with buzzing in your ears.

I needed an air conditioner to replace the worn out through-the-wall unit in my small commercial office. This unit had the dimensions that I needed. I also purchased the wall sleeve to properly mount the air conditioner. After one summer's use, it has worked just fine to cool the approximately 500 sq ft area.

This unit died within 1 year and the back looks like the Titanic.Obviously Florida weather is tough on units but I have a window unit that is 8 years old and still works just fine.Warranty does not cover rust which is the number 1 reason these units break.Do not waste your time with an extended warranty as it is useless.
