Was easy to install, and very easy to use. It now keeps my bathroom vent going a little longer to reduce the moisture.

Honest reviews on Intermatic FD60MH 60-Minute Spring Loaded Wall Timer, Ivory

The timer works well, time is accurate, and hasn't malfunctioned in about a year of use. My only gripe is that it's a little loud when it clicks off. Not a huge problem, I would still buy another.

I have the Intermatic FD60MH 60-minute Spring Loaded Wall Timer wired to a towel warmer. It works quite well, but is a bit noisy. You can hear it ticking 10 feet away. It seems very well made and will probably be quite reliable over the years. Since the timer uses a spring mechanism, it does not draw power to use it, or in standby mode, as some digital timers do. The small form factor of the timer allows it to be installed in a double wall plate with another switch next to it.

As for the heater itself, this single-burner unit will take the chill off... if you want real warmth on a cold night you might consider the two or three-burner units, but for casual use this is a dandy.

But even better, when I got mine I accidentally broke a piece on it... I emailed Texsport customer support, they were very helpful and sent me a replacement part for free! Very nice of them. Will buy their products again for sure.

Have had this for about two weeks and no issues, works great. Used it at a tailgate and in my garage. I hooked it up to a full propane tank and have used it for 8 hours on high and I still have plenty of propane left. Cools down fairly quickly.

The heater is excellent. I have not been able to put it on full power because it is too hot. Nice to know it has power to sparte. Extremely easy to set up and light. Would recommend to any camper or outdoor person.

I bought this heater just as insurance for infield camping at this years [2010] Daytona 500. As temps dropped into the 30's this heater kept our well ventilated 12x12 popup snug as could be with no noticeable fumes.Thanks for the quick shipping we would have been miserable without this.

Connected it to an unused BBQ tank, fired it up at 5-degreesF. Started up fine. Works great. Not at all as hard to start as I was prepared after reading other reviews. Would like to have a couple more.

I purchased this item on Amazon about a year ago, and it has been awesome. The amount of heat given off by this is pretty amazing. We can now use our deck in the spring and fall! Easy to mount and so far has been trouble free.

I thought this was going to work for the area directly above out hot tub, boy was I wrong. I mounted this 8 foot above the front side of the hot tub and angled it so it would heat the area above everyone's head. While mounting it I was extremely happy from looking at the construction, solid metal, great mounting brackets, along with a long cord.

First off from reading other reviews I kept reading 10 x 10 area, in my test we were hoping for 9 x 7 foot section. I was hoping this would take the edge off from the winds that blow thru in the winter months. The plus would be to provide us with a area directly under the heat light to dry off in the warmth.

That night the temperature dropped to 55 degrees and very little wind. So we were ready to try it out. And i felt this would be a EASY test for this to pass.

Outdoor test minimal wind, covered deck.

After plugging the unit in, I wondered around the hot tub to feel the heat, it was almost nothing more then 6 foot directly in-front of the light. I didn't let that ruin the night so we got in the hot tub, I also started realizing my private area in my own back yard was really under the spot light now. This 1500 watt light produces a lot of visible light.

In comparison, I grabbed a yellow bug light and put it in a shop light. The 100 watt bug light was less to at the most about the same brightness of this heat light. The heat produced was good enough to heat the first 3 feet as if I was a hamburger at a fast food restaurant and nearly non existent 6 foot out. But in comparison, you would be better off buying two satco s4998 heat lights that produce about the same heat and far less visible light for over a $250 savings. Along with saving 1000 watts of electricity.

Garage shop area test.

Final test was to try this out in my garage I mounted this on the ceiling about 9 foot above my shop area, I left this on for 10 mins and came back to find it did an fair-OK job warming a closed area, insulated area. After the 10 min test I was satisfied to say this unit works ok indoors, but is far from the manufactures statements comparing this is a outdoor commercial unit.

In conclusion this unit could work if your goal is to heat and light a small enclosed area. If your goal is to heat the outdoors this is not for you unless you are only looking for a small area outside so one person can smoke in the dead of winter without freezing to death

Recommended product instead, each light can easly take the chill off a 4x4 area, or inside 8x12 x 2 lights

Honest reviews on Solaira Cosy SCOSYAW15120B 1500W/120V Outdoor

Bought two, one began to smell like something burning, overloaded circuit, fire hazard. My husband and I decided not to use product because we were afraid we'd burn our house down so now we have two of these and the seller will not allow us to return them. Seller is blaming manufacturer. These are expensive to just be sitting in their box, not worth taking a chance our house will catch fire. Very disappointed with the item even more disappointed with the seller.

We have 2 of these on our large patio and use them often. They put off a nice heat but we do have to use our propane heaters on nights that it gets really cold. These break the chill very nicely though.

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.

This could be a really great piece, but the construction quality is incredibly shoddy. The welds are messy, the tile looks cheaply put together. Also, the tile panels don't line up, the pan in the middle is out of round, and it generally looks cheap for a $300 piece of hardware. The one good part, as usual, is Amazon. Quick shipping and great customer service.

I have owned this fire pit for three years. It has performed well, but its looks have deteriorated. I have to paint the firescreen cover every year with heat resistant paint. the ceramic pieces are starting to chip. Nice size firepit though. Puts out great heat even underneath when you put your feet near it.

I fell in love with this at first sight, unfortunately the color is not antique white. It is more of an antique yellow. A canary yellow to be exact and the mahogany slates are not mahogany but black. I would have never purchased this color or have even given it a second thought had I seen it in true color. It's still a beautiful piece but just a warning to those who are really hoping for a mahogany and antique white fireplace.

It is beautiful well constructed and is an addition to the master bedroom remodel that really brings the room the warmth and comfort feeling we were seeking. The fact that it is alcohol burning means it is a safe alternative and with kids in the house that is a HUGE selling feature.

I bought this fireplace to go outside on my covered porch about six months ago. I was slow to provide a review as I at least wanted to see how it held up in this atmosphere after a few months. Well I really did not buy it for necessarily for a lot of heat , more for looks. And it has not let me down. It does produce heat but since my configuration is outside, I really cant say how much heat it would give off inside. But it is sure worth the try.... i love it and my back yard is an extention of my home.
