I ordered this to go with my new stone firepit, and this thing is absolutely heavy-duty. It's a solid piece of steel with some heft, and it feels great when holding it. It also appears to be power-coated, so it has a nice feel and seems like it will last forever. If you're looking for a poker, this is the one.

Purchased at a reasonable price, with free delivery. Arrived in a couple of days. The delivery box was about 50 pounds, with no damages to the box or the unit. Easy set up! Just remove it from the box and plug it in.

Looks great, provides a little bit of warmth. But with only two settings low and medium you can't expect a blasting furnace. The remote listed in the description was not in the box, nor did the manual state any thing about a remote. Called Amazon to inquire about the remote and they weren't sure where it was. Suggested I contact the manufacture. I haven't done that yet, but there is a button at the bottom that turns the unit on and off. Setting controls are on the top. Once you have it set you can just use the bottom button to turn the unit on or off. Like I said, it doesn't generate that much heat, so you don't need to constantly make adjustments to the temp settings.

Overall a good product. Having the remote woould have made it great!

We own one for over 6 years now. Love it. Only problem is that because it's mechanical (air pump), that eventually wears out. I think the seal in the pump need replacing. It used to to fill a cup with just one pump, but now takes 10 or more pumps.

Other than that, I love it. I am looking at purchasing a new one, the kind that uses electric pump.

I bought the electric air pot to address a number of issues that needed attention: I wanted to minimize the use of the microwave as much as possible, and I wanted to replace a diet soda pop habit with more healthful drinks. I had an electric kettle, but it was plastic and could not keep water warm throughout the day. I used to have a regular kettle, but I have lupus with some cognitive issues, and that kind of forgetfulness just doesn't mix too well with stove top cooking. I trashed two regular kettles before I got that one through my head.

After getting this product, I am wondering what I ever did without it. I no longer worry about carcinogen exposure from heating water in plastic. The air pot has a nonstick interior, but all of the research I looked at indicated that if there is any risk from unscratched nonstick surfaces, it happens only at temperatures over 350 degrees. Water boils at 212 degrees. Additionally, the interior of the air pot is well-constructed, and there doesn't seem to be any way I could possibly scratch it unless I used a fork or steel wool on it.

It keeps the water a good temperature for most teas, for soups, for getting a head start on pasta or rice, and for making coffee with a french press. The water tastes much better than it tasted after boiling in my plastic kettle. I have added an appliance timer to turn on the airpot before I wake up in the morning so that I do not have to wait for my first caffeine of the day. Zojirushi makes more expensive models that take care of the timer aspect, but I didn't want to spend the extra money.

What I did spend was not too much more than I would have for a non-plastic electric kettle (which, if you look at the reviews, might very well turn out to have plastic parts that have contact with the heated water) that was safer than a regular electric kettle, that was more convenient than a regular electric kettle, and that is already saving me money. I don't drink diet soda anymore, and I don't waste old, cold coffee or tea. I can make what I need as I need it, because the hot water is always readily available.

______

Love it even MORE now!

Months later, I am using the airpot every day. It works perfectly. In addition to using it to make coffee and tea, I use the hot water to get a head start on steel cut oatmeal, pasta, rice, soup (wait, that's not a head start that's the whole thing), just as I was when I first bought it.

However, I have also started using it for non-food applications! I had no idea. Hot packs for sore muscles, in my mop bucket to clean the floor, the extra heat makes a huge difference.

Finally, I have not had any need for this information, but I was contacted by someone who read my review about finding replacement parts. According to Zojirushi's website:

"Replacement parts may be ordered from our online Zojirushi Store or from our Customer Service Department by calling 800-733-6270, M-F, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST. Please have the model number ready when calling."

In short I found this airpot to provide nice hot water and be energy efficient too though I have only been testing it out for several days. As I say below, at 14.7 cents per kilowatt it uses $48.93/year. Now to be more verbose...

After completing the boil and having the water maintained at 208, I decided to check it out with a thermometer. I poured a cup and stuck the probe in, but my digital food thermometer only showed about 170F so I tried another one with similar results. Finally, I just made my self some coffee and it was nice and hot even after adding milk so so much for my thermometers. The only things I have to compare this to are my old airpot (5.5 quarts = 5.2 liters) and my 1500W electric kettle. Compared to my old airpot this one is amazing as my old one had the water barely hot. Compared to my kettle it obviously is not as hot since the kettle gives you freshly boiled water, though you can still add a bit of milk to the water from this airpot and enjoy a satisfying cup (for some reason I imagined 208F to be hotter with respect to how much milk you could add and still be left with a hot cup, but it still gives a satisfying hot cup).

After the initial boil, I remembered that I had a "P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor" (you can check it out on Amazon) which allows me to measure its electricity usage and on my unit I have entered the price of electricity as 14.7 cents per kilowatt. The longer it is connected the more accurate the reading is. Unfortunately I did not connect it before I began the boil but I hope to do so with my next main usage of the airpot this Friday (UPDATE: boiling 3 liters of water cost 3 cents). In any case, I have had it connected for 5 days now and the pot has gone down from full to 1 liter of water left and the reading says it uses $48.93/year or $0.13/day (of course this is assuming you don't add any more water to reheat when it gets low, though at 3 cents a boil it shouldn't add much to the cost) . This is quite amazing. As a comparison, my last 5.5 quart "airpot" that kept water barely hot used $144/year. My 1500W kettle costs me a penny to boil about 3 cups. My second usage had the yearly cost at $54/year but I attribute this to not using as much water in it as I did in the first time I had used it and I figure that the more in it the more energy is needed to keep the water warm.

I would definitely recommend this airpot. I was looking specifically one that did not use electronics to pump out the water and this one fit the bill.

Tevila info: For those who understand what I am talking about I dunked it on a Wednesday morning only until all surface areas of the airpot were covered before taking it out (i.e. did not wait for bubbles to stop). I left it out and open until Friday when I first used it and it worked fine.

Comfort Zone CZ550 Comfort Zone Review

Customer Ratings:

We bought this to heat up specific areas of our drafty apartment. Mostly, we've been using it in our living room, which is miserably cold in the winter. The room is about 10x14, and this little heater maxes out to warm it comfortably. I used it one day to jumpstart the temperature in my son's much smaller room and it was effective in minutes. It really is for smaller rooms.

Pros:

-Does warm quiet well

-Stay cool housing

-Automatically turns off if tipped over

-Two fan speeds for heat, and one for fan alone (I can't tell any difference between low and high, though)

Cons:

-It's quite loud. If you're watching a movie, or trying to talk on the phone, it's a bit intrusive

-The cord gets warm. That seems rather worrying, except that we never leave it on or plugged in unmonitored. I don't feel like it is suddenly going to explode, I just wouldn't leave any electric heater on or plugged in with our old-house wiring (we even unplug our toaster when we're not using it)

-It's not very efficient if the heat is not turned all the way up comes off and on every five minutes or so, which, combined with the noise level, is a little annoying

-Also the grate on the front (pretty small) does heat up, so it'll have to be out of reach if you have crawlers or pets.

All this to say, we're keeping it. It's already here, the price was right and it makes our frozen tundra of a living room quite cozy. I'm just going to pretend the noise is the sound of crashing waves on a seashore in the tropics.

So far it seems to be working out wonderfully well and I'm only sorry that I didn't get one a long time ago.

My master bath is over the garage and not well insulated. It's so chilly taking a shower in the morning. We got a timer and set the Rugbuddy to warm up about 1/2 hour before my husband gets up. The bathroom is warmer. Standing on the rug really warms you up. It won't warm the room significantly but just standing on it after getting out of the shower and while getting ready is much more comfortable. I even lay my clothing out on the rug and by the time I get out of the shower they are warmed up. This is a great product!

I ordered this heater for my parents who were taking a 6 week trip to Europe. My mum LOVED it! None of the hotels she stayed in had a jug to heat water so she used it almost daily.

I've owned two of these. The first one I dropped and it stopped working. Ok, my fault.

I went to heat a 5th cup of water and guess what?....no longer working. I bought it especially for the international voltage feature. From my experience, I cannot recommend this product.

Pro: Works on either 110 or 220 volts, without manually switching the heater.

Con: (Minor) 110 volt heating affords only 125 watts of heating power, bringing a large cup of cool water to a simmer in twelve to 14 minutes.

Pro: On 220 volts, other conditions the same as above, simmer is reached in about three minutes due to 500 watts heating power.

Pro: Solid construction, plug is not cheap, wire appeared well-insulated, but not unduly stiff.

Con: No cup cliff, although this is not a grievous error...

My unit quit working mid-tea cup heating, and I was dissatisfied because I thought I had only had it about six months. Amazon showed me that I received it about 25 months ago. Use was generally light, mainly onboard cruise ships, with both 110 and 220 volts used. Owned and used a bit over two years, but probably not over about 150 times, although the unit has likely traveled 50,000 miles and suffered a few light knocks, but no rough handling.

Performance and calendar service life = Five stars. Roughly 150 uses until failure = Three stars.

OVERALL: Four Stars. Will buy again.

I've used one of these for about 3 fill-ups now: about 36 hours of use. (I don't think it will ever be 16 hours on 1 gallon, but 12 is fine by me.)

It's flawless. It smells a very little bit at start-up and shut-down, but while it's running it's essentially odorless. And perfectly quiet (a very soft gurgle once every ten minutes or so when it needs to sip some fuel into some internal tank) -and it puts out a lot of heat.

I have a room that's maybe 300 square feet with 5 big windows. On a cold night (close to 0 degrees F.) this thing can warm up that room by 2 or 3 degrees in 10 minutes, and maybe by 8 or 9 degrees in an hour. If you sit across the room and it's pointed straight at you, you can feel it right away.

It easy to fill up. There's a cannister that you carry outside (garage) and fill from your kerosene container with a hand-powered siphon. Worked the first time. This may not work if your outdoor kerosene container is too low, but then you can just use a funnel. The cannister stands up nicely by itself for filling, on a level surface (like a garage floor).

There's a little window on the cannister that lets you see when it's almost empty during use -and when it's almost full during fill-up.

When you want to turn it off, you press the "extinguish" button -the big knob in the middle winds rapidly counterclockwise -makes a loud noise -and the flame usually goes out immediately. Sometimes it may gutter for 30 secs or so before completely going out.

At start-up time the flame gutters a little for maybe 60 secs before the combustor starts to glow red, then the flame stabilizes and becomes perfectly quiet. You can't really see a flame except a little bit of blue -maybe a quarter inch at the very top of the combustor.

It's very easy to start up using the little battery starter device -you just push a red button, hold it for a second, then slowly release. I've done maybe 20 starts so far on one pair of batteries. You can start it with a match instead if you want to (or have to.) But the battery-powered starter is nice.

The back and the top and sides of the unit stay COOL TO THE TOUCH after an hour of use. Probably indefinitely.

This gadget is an example of a perfect combination of high-tech (the way the combustion works) and low-tech (it's .... kerosene, after all.)

There aren't many things this good. Cast iron pans, maybe? And ... um ... windmills that really work ? I don't know.

I don't see how I could ask this thing to be any better.

I've been using kerosene heaters for about 25 years now and really like them. I picked this unit up at a local Tru-Value because my old Kero Sun was malfunctioning. My first impression of this product is it's well put together. It looks well designed and feels solid. I prefer the square units over the round ones as the square units have removable fuel tanks and thus are more convenient to refuel. This unit also has a few nice touches like a little lip on the fuel tank handle which makes it a bit easier to remove. Another nice touch is a cover for the batteries. This is the first time I've seen this on a kerosene heater. This helps resist battery corrosion.

I've used kerosene heaters for two purposes; to lower my heating bills and to have a backup source of heat during power outages. I use my main furnace to heat the house up to my desired temperature. I start the kerosene heater up at the same time and position it below a ceiling fan turning clockwise. Once the house is warmed up, the furnace cuts out and the kerosene heater keeps the house warm for the rest of the day. If your house is reasonably insulated, this should work for you as well. If it's really cold, like in the single digits or below, your furnace will kick on but a lot less frequently. I figure for every dollar I spend on kerosene I save three on my heating bill. I haven't had an energy bill over $200 and I have a 1700 square foot house. At this writing, kerosene is about $3.00 per gallon. Even leaving the unit on 16 hours a day, I spend about $60.00 per month on kerosene in the coldest months.

Kerosene heaters do require regular maintenance. If you don't clean the wick, you could be harmed by fumes emitted by a dirty wick causing the fuel to not completely burn. It's very simple. It's called dry burning. Place the unit in a well ventilated place, preferably outside. Remove the tank and put the wick in the ignite position. Light the unit and let it run dry. Once the flame is out, take an old toothbrush and brush the burned carbon off the wick then thoroughly vacuum the unit. Then put a new tank of fuel in and you're done. If you perform this maintenance for every five gallons of kerosene used, which should be once a week, you'll be fine. The unit should be fully cleaned and serviced once a year by a professional or by you if you know what you're doing.

For a little effort and common sense, you will save hundreds of dollars every heating season. The unit will pay for itself in just a few months.

I am going on my third season with this heater and it is serving me well. My parents always used a kerosene heater and now I use one myself. They are really great...don't let propaganists try to tell you they are "death traps." I have a 1200 sq ft row house built in 1949 and frequently use my kerosene heater all winter long to take some stress off my heating bill.

It sounds like some of the other reviewers were not using the correct fuel. You should use UNDYED, clear 1-K Kerosene. Do not use kerosene that is dyed red (the IRS requires kerosene sold for certain purposes to be dyed). I tried this dyed kero once and it wreaked havok on my wick...the wick gets all gummed up with residue so it will no longer raise and retract after just a few gallons. This is just another way that the government screws up our lives.

With the correct fuel, this heater produces beautiful, radiant heat. It is very cosy, and like having a little fireplace in the room. Cats and dogs love to sleep in front of it. You do have to be a little bit of a "hands on" person to manage a kerosene heater, but it is well worth the little amount of work.

Honest reviews on World Marketing KW-11F 10,000 BTU Radiant Heat Indoor Kerosene

I bought this heater to suppliment our oil furnace so I didn't have to heat the whole house. It works good as far as heat out put goes, easily heating 400 square feet of space. There isn't any kind of heat adjustment on it, other than to keep the wick burning at an optimum flame. There were times I wished I could turn it down a notch. I liked the fact you could remove the tank for filling, but the directions say to shut the heater off before doing so, so you can't expect to keep it running for extended periods of time. On one such fill up, I apparently didn't get the tank seated correctly, even though the top door did close correctly. The wick started going out and really stunk the place up. The heater does need to be lit and extinguished outside, which means carrying it very carefully so as to not trip the automatic shut off. In doing so, the wall guard which I still haven't figured out the reason for, tends to get in the way. The weight is also off centered with the tank being on one end. The heater isn't real heavy. You just have to compensate for most of the weight being on one end so you carry it level. The heater does need to be elevated at least a foot off the floor if you are using it on anything other than bare concrete, because it does tend to get very warm for about two feet in front of it. Fortunately, the bottom, sides, and top stay cool, so it can be set on most anything that is stable. If it were not for the having to light it, extinguish it, and let it burn outside for at least 5 minutes until the odor dissipates, I would give it more stars. It is probably just the nature of the beast and not a fault of the heater. I didn't have any other trouble with it, and it worked as advertised. I would say that it is a good heater to use in an emergency, but not one for ongoing suplimental heat.

I bought this kerosene heater at local hardware store, not Amazon, but I own the same model. I have to say it was worth the $150. I had a big 'ol 100 year old home south of Buffalo, NY and this did a nice job of keeping it warm. I did leave the windows open a crack for fumes, but we didn't have central air so that didn't affect the furnace. My ignition button was "not firm" I want to say...can't think of how to describe it...but we are really rough on things. I don't think I used it but once..always lit the wick with a match and never had any problems. Like the other's say, to fill it, you have a one gallon rectangle tank you pull out, I go out on the porch to fill it up, then you cap it and just slide it back on in. It has a fuel gauge but I found that hard to see. I never had any other kerosene heater so I can't really compare it to anything. But, it does heat up well and that was its purpose. Oh, and I think it has an automatic shut off so if it gets tipped or something the wick gets extinguished which is very handy and always worked for us. (Look into that though...I used this a couple years ago.) And like the other reviewer, I think I got 12 hours on 1 gallon pretty sure I filled it up once in the morning then once at night. So, $6 a day just over $180 a month for heat if nothing else is used (we had a pellet stove too though). But I would DEFINITELY not recommend this for people with allergies or lung issues, or anyone that doesn't have common sense when it comes to fire. (Don't point it directly towards a couch, tablecloth, etc. cause it WILL get HOT! This product is worth the $150.
