Performed as advertised. Was fairly easy to install into an existing wall. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The heater does make a little bit of an annoying whining noise when it runs, but you get used to it quickly, I only notice it if it runs at night when everything else is quite. Puts out more than enough heat for the average sized full bath.

Bought it for a small bathroom and it really works great to heat it up before showering. It was purchased to replace a small portable heater that sat on the floor. Compared to that, it's relatively quiet and I love the convenience of not having the portable sitting in my way!

This was a replacement for a similar model installed during a bath remodel 10 years ago. This was the right model...as confirmed on phone with Qmark before I ordered it. (The grill looked slightly different, as well as model number.) Best of all, I saved an electrician's bill by installing myself. First attempt...it went on....then an hour later wasn't working. Connections looked correct....but I disassembled the two wires and reconnected...and it's perfect. (Wires somehow got loose in the connectors on my first attempt.) Good product...best price.

This has been an awesome heater. It actually works so good I have bought three for our boat, camper, and toy hauler.

They are great at circulating the air even when it's not putting out heat so it keeps the area warmer.

The one for the camper we used in Alaska and kept really warm.

The item showed up used and broke out of the box, I needed it to keep my boat engine warm during the freeze so I fixed it and used it, I asked the company to send me a new one and I would send this back once I get the new one, I even offered to pay for a new one so no risk for the company. Not very accommodating.

I ordered this from another source knowing that it did not come with the actual fireplace insert. Then I ordered the 18EF023GRA insert from Amazon (instead of the insert listed in Amazon's description) which worked great in this and is definitely a step up from the one listed to get and even at a lower price! I was very impressed with the quality of this stand and how sturdy it was. This is a substantial piece of furniture that looks great and will do the job nicely. The fireplace just really sets it off into something special. Just take your time assembling it from the nicely packed box using the very clear instructions, and I think you will also be pleased with the end result.

ANNA Ceramic Heater Review

ANNA Ceramic Heater - White
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
Its quiet, small in size and attractive. However the face of the heater gets really hot -you would burn your fingers if you touched it right after turning it off. Also the controls being on the rear means you have to turn it around to adjust or "learn" how to do it without looking --mostly OK except the temperature setting wheel has no lines or numbers to assist in setting the temperature so if you have a favorite setting and it accidentally gets reset (easy to do with the thumb wheel being on the back) then you will have to experiment in order to find that setting again. And as in my photos, the high / low heat output button is not obvious as to which is which and the wattage in the documentation is wrong.

Usage Update: you better not change your mind after you turn this guy off (or turn the thermostat down) because it will not restart and put out heat until it cools down -which takes 15 to 20 minutes. It apparently thinks it is overheated and thus the long cool down period is needed before it will start up again. You really have to like small, quiet, attractive and expensive in order to put up with this guy.

If you live in a small apartment, such as the styles found in San Francisco, this is a great piece. It is the least ugly heater I've ever seen, so it doesn't clutter the place. It is surprisingly small, and stows away easily when you are not using it. When you are, it cranks out heat, but rather silently. The only thing I'd say they need to improve is that the buttons on the back are poorly labled. I can't tell if I'm on the high setting or the low setting, because the toggle switch doesn't tell you which is which. Oh, designers.

turns off after only a minute, even on high setting. clearly the thermostat is not calibrated properly. Fans also quite weak. on top of that, they put stickers all over it which leave major gunk when removed. such a drag.... i returned it. so much potential

Honest reviews on ANNA Ceramic Heater

I'm very impressed with this heater. Its very small, but packs a nice punch. There are two super quiet computer type fans in it which circulate the air efficiently. It doesn't makes it super scorching hot, but makes it so I don't have to bundle up and get tons of blankets on my couch. But I have this on and it roughly heats a 20x40 space in about 20 minutes. I like the minimalistic design which is super easy to use. I'd suggest getting this one over the smaller one... the price difference for the smaller just doesn't make sense.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Most small space heaters are hideous molded plastic or coldly industrial. This German alternative nails it from an aesthetic point of view.

Pros:

Really high design nice clean lines.

Simple interface

Takes some trial and error to find your perfect setting on the thermostat, but once you get it right, it holds the temp well

Cons:

Buttons are on the back so you have to use by feel

No markings on the temp control so it takes a lot of trial and error to get it set right

I have not had the electrical issues mentioned in the other reviews and have had the larger rectangular version of the heater for 7 months now.

Very disappointing.... 3 hours to assemble... and even with a plumber friend had a hard time getting the LP gas connections safely connected. Overall this unit seems a bit cheap and flimsy -wouldn't buy this again if I had the chance to do it over. Keep looking there's got to be a better unit on the market!

update: March 2008: It's now been a year since we bought this and every time we turn it on I feel a little guilty about this review. Yes, assembly was a pain, but once we got it together, it's worked flawlessly since and puts out great heat. Amazon won't let me upgrade this to 3 or 4 stars, but I did want to add that this has been a good unit.

Update: April 2013... NOW I FEEL REALLY GUILTY!!! This little unit has put up with a lot of abuse (besides my original review)... it's always outside in the rain and the wind... it's gotten banged up by contractors...dropped... you name it... and it just keeps going. I fired it up tonight for the first time in a year... and it instantly lit, after about 3 minutes of bleeding the pilot... amazing!!!

I definitely take back my prior review... 5 stars....it's lasted 5 years, taken a lot of abuse, and still works like a champ.

These outdoor heaters are amazing. I ordered three of these from Amazon to heat a large patio with outdoor seating area and dining area and they do a fantastic job. I read the reviews here and noted the assembly warnings but these units were not difficult to put together and I didn't encounter any of the frustrations of the earlier reviewers and based on what they were saying in their reviews it looks like the manufacturer read the reviews and changed the assembly requirements.

The first unit took about two hours to unpack and assemble but I was taking my time and making sure I did everything right the first time. The second unit took about an hour and the third about 45 minutes. I have a decent tool set but am only average on the assembly skills and so I expect others will be able to put these together faster.

The units put out a really good amount of heat and once they have been on for 5 to 10 minutes we have to turn them down because they are just too hot which is an outstanding result. My in laws were visiting and after experiencing an outdoor dinner and breakfast they were hooked and planning on ordering one of the these for themselves.

We had dinner at a local restaurant later in the week we got these and we ate outdoors under their heatlamps and ... you guessed it they had the same exact heat lamps as these. Since then I have seen these same units in a number of restaurants around town that have outdoor dining. You know if the local restaurants are using them then they must be sturdy and longlasting.

I highly recommend these units to anyone that wants to heat their patios and are looking for a high quality unit that puts out a good amount of heat.

After reading mixed reviews, I took a leap of faith on this patio heater. Unfortunately, that leap fell a bit short. Upon receiving the heater, I noticed that the box was double-taped. This usually indicates either a) the manufacturer is taking an extra step to ensure secure packaging; or b) the product was opened, re-taped, and returned. There were no other shipping labels or evidence of label removal, so I assumed it was double-taped from the factory.

I opened the box and removed all of the pieces; when I got to the bottom I realized that all of the assembly hardware was strewn about, but the package the hardware was supposed to be in was there (albeit empty) along with the instructions. It appeared as though everything was present.

Hoping for the best, I began assembly and soon realized what I was up against. The instructions are horrible and could easily be re-written, as several of the individual steps are actually multiple procedures that must be done sequentially (you'll figure it out as you go, make sure your ratchet set is reversible). These steps are demonstrated by archaic line drawings that have no orienting details whatsoever, and I estimate a good half hour of my two-hour assembly was wasted due to this oversight. In hindsight, one could probably complete the entire assembly of this product in 30-45 minutes with accurate instructions. After a lot of head-scratching, I finally reached the last few steps, which involve assembling the dome at the top. This was when the Chinese engineering really came to light. Nothing lined up, nothing fit, and I almost sent this flimsy piece of trash Frisbee-like into the recycling bin. Some of the hardware for the dome assembly is supposed to be pre-attached, and at this point I realized that a few of the screws required for assembly were missing. After a trip to the hardware store, a bit of drilling, a bit of bending, a lot of twisting, and the creation of a few new curse words, I was finally able to complete this fine modern marvel.

I am still unsure if this was a returned item or not, but unless you have a lot of patience, are moderately handy, and enjoy a challenge created by a complete dearth of quality control and engineering, I suggest looking at another heater. On a positive note, it does work reasonably well when it lights (often requires the use of a lighter to get the pilot going). We'll see how long it lasts, but I would happily spend double the price for a quality unit with respectable fit and finish.

Honest reviews on Endless Summer Model GWU9209SP Stainless Steel Deluxe Residential

Overall good product. The assembly is fairly easy but will take a couple of hours. The one difficult part is connecting the gas line nozzle tip to the heating element portion (the "engine"). It does not want to click easily. You will need a strong person and a helper. Use a little 3-in-1 oil to make the job easier, twist gently, and don't give up. After that it works fine.

I have had other patio heaters at this price point and this is one of the better ones.

The Good:

I love the natuaral gas option no worries about running out of gas!

Heavy base mitigates wind-storm tip overs

When it works, it really puts out the heat!

The Bad:

Assembly is non-trivial

The unit is somewhat unsturdy (wobly) once completed

Hard to tell when the pilot light is lit unless it's dark out

The Ugly:

I have had this heater for three years now and every year I have to replace the ignition and valve module. This is a big "heart transplant" kind of operation. The first two were free, but now they want me to pay... I will be finding a new heater.

Discount Honeywell HZ-2200 Mini Tower Surround Heater

Honeywell HZ-2200 Mini Tower Surround Heater
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
Pros:

Small footprint

Heating element well hidden inside the machine

Redundant safety features

Relatively quiet

Competitively priced

Cons:

Thermostat is not as accurate as I like

Not good for "spot" heating, like warming up just the rocking chair area when watching TV.

This heater suits best for heating up small, enclosed spaces (about 14x14sq.ft.). I use it in my bedroom and the result is great.

The air outlet velocity is low and non vectorized by design. It relies on low velocity, de-facto free, convection as a prime source of heat transfer. This mode of heating carries an advantage for not drying skin (Example, a typical hot-air blowing heater acts like a hair dryer!), and heat very evenly within a small area. Thus make this a bad choice for "spot" heating.

Advice the last person who gave this machine a bad rating. You are like complaining about a Toyota Corolla not able to reach 200mph. Please spend some money to insulate the place and buy a bigger heater, or two for your application.

The unit was solidly built, has overheat and tip-over sensor, and the heating element was located in a remote location and it's impossible to touch. Therefore, it scores really high on safety. However, please use common sense when using this unit (keep the unit away from small children, moisture, water, drapery...)

The unit uses a "Mechanical" thermostat and it does not control the room's temperature very well. It would be better for Honeywell to change it to a digital thermostat.

Conclusion: Use it for what it's best for (small, enclosed space or 14x14 sq.ft.), and you will not be dissappointed.

This little unit works very well in my bedroom and heats up very quickly just on the low setting. In the living room I've used it on the high setting and it also works pretty quickly. I use this unit when I am the only one who is cold and don't want to use the central heat. I really like the option to use 360/ front function and the thermostat capability. As per the directions, you turn on the unit with the thermostat on full heat and when the temperature is as hot as you want you slowly turn it down until the unit clicks off. Then it will automatically shut on and off to keep that temperature. My only complaint, which is why I didn't rate the unit 5 stars, is that it is too noisy for me. I mostly wanted this unit for nighttime use and when the unit clicks on and off it wakes me up.

I plugged this in yesterday for the first time. It seems very safe. The ON nob has a childproof turn system. At the hottest temperatures I can still pick the heater up by the metal grate. Most impressive is how fast it heats up. As soon as it turned on I felt a lot of heat, as if it arrives from the factory with hot air waiting to blow out upon first use. It has a little bit of the "heater odor", like when you turn the heat in the car way up. It heat my room up really fast, but it's a small-medium sized room. I looked around a lot for heaters and read a lot of reviews. This one worked out perfectly for me; I am very happy with my choice.

Honest reviews on Honeywell HZ-2200 Mini Tower Surround Heater

I have a 2 bedroom apartment outside of Boston. When the temperature outside drops below 20 degrees or so, the interior temp. struggles to remain above 60 degrees or so. I have deployed three of these great heaters in my apartment and the temp. now can get well above 65 when it is really cold outside.

A+ machine, sleek design, definetly not ugly and will get the job done.

The concept of this heater looked great, but it has one fatal flaw--the thermostat. It seems to think the room is much hotter than it actually is. As a result, even at the highest setting it shuts off after a short period of time. Yet the room is still cold--and there's no way to turn the heater back on. You basically have to wait 20 minutes for the heater to "cool down" enough to work again. We basically don't use it, and we went out and bought another.

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I got a one-month propane bill for $300 this winter and I hadn't even had the house comfortably warm. Overwhelmed at the cost of the bill, I sought an alternative. Since it was an exceptionally cold winter, it seemed there were no heaters to be found anywhere. Locating one at a Target, I purchased it as the only option available to me.

It was such a toasty, seep-into-your-bones kind of warm I decided to buy a second one. This has kept me very comfortable. It's such a welcome heating choice. Even my cat loves it. I can find her snuggled RIGHT next to one or the other of the heaters. It's a safe kind of heater too. Sometimes the cat will actually curl into contact with the heater. She'll sleep quite happily there until at last she gets too hot. When that happens she leaps away from the heater, giving me a very dirty look like it was all my fault. Silly cat.

The BIG advantage though is the cost savings. My $300 propane refill bill went to $0 (my tank hasn't needed refilling yet!) My electric bill did go up though (as one would naturally expect). The electric bill? $30 higher than the previous month!

So in effect, I purchased two of these heaters and paid $30 more in electricity and still came out ahead of that horrendous propane bill of the month before. From $300 for heating to $30.

YEAH!

With the cost of natural gas way up last winter, I wanted to see if I could save money by using supplemental heating in some parts of the house. I bought this one to use in my daughter's bedroom at night because I figured it was safer than a coil heater.

The Honeywell 690 has more than met my expectations. It is odorless and silent (except a very quiet click when the thermostat goes on and off), easy to adjust and move around, and on its lowest setting (which I use exclusively), it is hot, but not too hot to touch. I'm able to turn the house furnace down as low as I dare (to about 50...don't want to freeze my pipes) while my daughter stays nice and cozy in her bedroom. And I really didn't notice any increase in my electric bill. But while everyone I know was passing out over their gas bills, mine was quite reasonable all winter.

The nature of an oil-filled heater is that it takes time to heat a room, but then it does a fantastic job of keeping the temperature steady. You don't have a super hot zone right next to the heater with it cold everywhere else. In areas where we want quick, brief periods of heat (bathroom, kitchen table), I'm using fan-assisted coil heaters. But in rooms where the occupants will be spending hours (bedrooms, family room, home office), the slow, steady heat of the Honeywell 690 is perfect.

I was so pleased with how well this performed last winter, I'm going to get one for my bedroom this winter.

Note: If you buy one and it has anything beyond maybe a slight smell the first hour of usage, take it back for an exchange. I'm very sensitive to odors, and I never smelled anything with this heater.
