Best Source Green Heat 1800 Sq Foot Infrared Quartz Heater Made By Life Deals

Customer Ratings:

This heater is a lot cheaper than most other similiar models that are out there on the market. It works really well. It's quiet and it heats two rooms of my house very easily. I don't sleep with it on, but I wouldn't do that with any other electric heater. This one has a timer, though, which is good whenever I'm drowsy.

I have no complaints with this item. I purchased it at Wal-mart and not on Amazon, though. I simply wanted to avoid the shipping costs, etc. I priced it at Lowe's and it was ridiculously overpriced! The one listed here on Amazon is about $10 cheaper than mine, but I'm sure the shipping will more than make up for it.

Again, great heater! It does exactly as advertised! You won't be disappointed with it. Don't expect it to heat an entire home, but two or more adjacent rooms is fairly easy work for it, and I'm sure your indoor pets will have no complaints snuggling near it. It's safe to touch, too. The wheels on bottom of it make it easy to reposition without lifting.

I had doubted this heater when it first came. I thought there is no way.. BUT This little heater heats my kitchenliving roomand hallwayI don't know how big it is sq ft wise but I know its not small... in all fairness.. I also made sure of my windows doors and everything was perfectly sealed... It might take a little while to heat all of this if its real real cold... but I am not complaining as it does manage to keep all of this space warm.. No other heater could do it... this one did.. thats what matters.. mine actually broke within a week of having it but it only took an e-mail and they are sending me a new one AND a return label to send back the one that broke.. which means I don't pay the shipping for the broken heater AND They sent it as soon as they knew of the issue NOT when they received the broken heater... this seller is absolutely the best to deal with... A++++

I purchased this heater from this company and after using it three or four times, the cord and plug got extremely hot , so hot I had to unplug it for I was afraid of fire. I sent the company an e-mail and they replied that they

would get back to me. I then called after a week the number in the instructions, they said I had to call the one

that sold it to me. I would not recommend this product, it would be better to purchase it from a store where you

could return it if there was a problem.

As a supplemental heat source, I find this to be everything that I expected, and a touch more. The ability to set the timer for the heater to come on in a determined number of hours, or to have the heater run until a chosen pre-set shut off time makes this heater very convenient. The unique ECO mode, and other mode choices are also extremely helpful. The level of noise is less than a whisper, and, in short, I love it.

Sunbeam Tower Portable Room Air Fan Quartz Heater MaxFlow Radiant Reviews

Customer Ratings:

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.

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. A perfect reminder why we should never leave a portable heater in a room unattended. I would not recommend this heater. I believe this is actually the exact same heater as the Holmes.

InnoMax Sanctuary Free Flow Full Wave Waterbed Mattress, Super Review

List Price: $79.00
Sale Price: $52.63

First, we have had waterbeds since the'70's.

This is a well-made, rugged product with reinforced box corners, which I expect will be more cat-proof than its deceased predecessor. It fits the frame perfectly, with no wrinkles or odd bulging corners, and like most is delightfully comfortable.

There is one issue that prevents a Five Star rating, and it probably is not the fault of the manufacturer or vendor.

Plasticizer odor. We all know that any waterbed mattress (Or inflatable pool item, toy, or anything made with flexible vinyl products) has a distinct and not unpleasant odor. Even after a year, one can detect it in bedrooms with a water bed.

I am sorry, but the odor from this is very strong and persistant. The windows have been open for three days now, the bedding has been rewashed, and the odor is still cloyingly strong.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

EDIT ten days later to be fair: OK, everything has quieted down with the plasticizer odor. Added a star.

As a courtesy to people with sensitive noses, the rest stands:

End Edit

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

I am NOT a chemophobe. I MADE PCV calendered and plastisol products for a Fortune 500 at one time. I recognize this smell.

People with chemical (Phthalate) sensitivities should avoid this product.

Here is why:

"Phthalates can be divided into two groups: high and low molecular weight, with high molecular weight phthalates now representing over 80 percent of European market for plasticisers. Low molecular weight phthalates include those with 3-6 carbon atoms in their chemical backbone; the most common types being Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Di-butyl phthalate (DBP), Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) and Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP). Because of possible health effects of low phthalates in the environment, including Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, there is movement to replace them with safer alternatives in Canada, the European Union, and the United States."

I am quite happy with my new mattress. It was the least expensive I could find on the internet and I see no problems. I have had quite a few free flow waterbed mattresses and this one is just fine. There really is not much to them. It is a big water bladder. This one seems pretty durable. The only weird thing here is that the one they sent is red not blue.

This mattress is really nice, it feels thicker than my previous ones and the fill cap being in the middle is a really nice touch. However it has an extremely strong plastic smell, which is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. I did expect the smell but I did not expect it to fill the entire house for over a month, even with opening the windows for a few hours every night.

Also, not that it is a con, the mattress is actually red not blue like in the picture.

Best Deals for Kitchen Elements Ceramic Double and Triple Tray Baking/Chaffing

Perhaps I was reading the current product review wrong. I was expecting two different baking/chaffing heater tray sets. One, with the double set and the other, with the triple set. I was charged full price and only received the double set (the one pictured ontop of the triple). There's no way I would pay almost $40 for just the small, tiny, double set. I'm contacting Amazon right now and will give an update soon. Otherwise, DON'T BOTHER BUYING THIS PRODUCT FOR OVER $30. It's worth $25. As for the product itself, the lid is neat, but it is not stable with the handle. So the glass lid (with no lining) moves around when lifting by handle. I have tried to tighten the lid by spinning it to the right, but it's so fragile; I'm not going to mess with it. It is a wonderful little piece to look at-but I'm more upset about the price and of course, the confusion. I'm giving this product one star for gypping me with either with the price or the product and I would not recommend this product to anyone until this problem is fixed.

Water Heater Portable Coffee Immersion Dual Voltage Beverage Heat Reviews

Customer Ratings:

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. It lasted her the whole trip for heating water for tea in the morning. It heated water super quick and it's tiny and easy to carry and comes with a neat wee drawstring bag to carry it in. She's still using it at work to heat her water for tea in the office. She highly recommends it. Thanks!

I've owned two of these. The first one I dropped and it stopped working. Ok, my fault. The second I heated 4 cups of water on an international trip (220 Volt) and was very careful with it, especially keeping the heating coil immersed while plugged into the electricity. 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.

I read reviews that said it did not work and I still took my chances and ordered the water heater at ALSAMAUSA and hoped it will work for me but sure enough the water heater was dead on arrival. I used immersion heater before and I know how to follow instructions so that it was definitely DOA. I returned the item but wasted my money for shipping and return postage ($5.70+$5.41). The seller received my water heater few days ago and I'm still waiting for my refund. What a wast of time and money.

UPDATE: I filed A-to-z Guarantee claim to Amazon and they refunded the item price and shipping so that my loss was limited to the cost for the return shipping (postage + certified mail = $5.41).

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.

List Price: $499.95
Sale Price: $224.99
Today's Bonus: 55% Off

I am a popcorn lover, and I like this machine

Pros:

8 oz Size

-Makes enough popcorn for 3 to 4 people. Using 8oz popcorn packs, it makes awesome popcorn, and a lot of it.

Features

-I like the heating element underneath to keep the popcorn hot, not sure if this is a standard feature, but I like it. The old maid drawer is pretty big.

Looks

-I like the skyline look on the glass. The black on top matches the stainless steel.

Cons:

Steel

-The Metal seems a little flimsy, and it was delivered with bent metal right where the old maid drawer is, but that was fixed with a pliers. The pin to keep the kennel in place had one hole drilled bad. The flip out bottom door is also thin and flimsy.

Looks

-The metal "vent" on top is just paint, and the icons for the switches are funky and unpolished.

Glass

-One of the doors was not straight. I tried to fix it my adjusting the hinges, but nothing helped. The one is good, but the other one is offset from the other and is harder to close than the good one.

Overall:

It works well, looks good, but it seems a little flimsy and the door problem made it lose a few points. The entire machine was packaged well, with no assembly. It did take about 5 days to ship, but it got to my house in 2 days. If you do not use premeasured packets with this machine, make sure you use atleast 1 TBSP of oil per 1/2 cup of popcorn. The manual says to use only 1 TBSP, but a cup of popcorn will not pop well with only that much. The door does say the correct amount. The scoop that comes with it is kind of small, but it works. I would recommend this machine to people who want a 8 oz popcorn popper.

I purchased this popcorn popper to help with making popcorn for my school on Fridays. I loved the general styling, espcially the stainless parts. The machine is easy to use, but I had a major problem with the kettle. The part where the kettle is welded to the swinging hinge actually FELL OFF after JUST 3 HOURS of use. I called Great Northern and they immediately offered to return it, no problem. Decided to purchase the next one up-the 12oz. commercial one.

I got the machine on Feb 9, 2012 and tried popping some corn immediately. Setup was very easy. The first time I used it, it took almost 12 minutes to pop 8 oz of corn which is not what is stated on the manual. I emailed Great Northern that night and got a response the very same night. The support was great and very responsive. I had to return the kettle for check up which turned out to be a defective thermostat. It was repaired and returned to me. We are very happy with the purchase and kids love the popcorn we are producing. On Saturday nights, we serve popcorn to 50 kids and so far the popcorn machine is able to handle the load.

I did a fair amount of research before purchasing and believe this to be a good product. It has served well. Easy to use. Clean up is not as easy as I would like but not bad. There is a ridge along the inside bottom that is hard to clean and the kettle can be. Have found the vinegar works great for cleaning kettle. Would like a bigger one for what we do but for small groups will work wonders.

I didnt go into this buy with much expectation. but upon receiving the heater, it was a little smaller looking than the picture leads it to be. What it lacks in size it makes up for in functionality. I am currently deployed and live in a 15x20 shack with two other guys, and it easily keeps us all warm at night on just the low setting. Also has a tip over switch on the base that keeps me from worrying about any mid-night fires. The small size has actually grown on me since we have very limited space to begin with. GREAT BUY!

The heater is smaller than expected; it's barely a foot tall, but it does the job admirably. It has two heat settings and when the room is warm, I turn the heater off and the room stays toasty for hours. Unlike another reviewer, I have not had problems with the oscillator making noise, but even without oscillating the heater still heats a room; the oscillator is just a bonus. It also has a fan setting that I will try out in warmer weather.

ORIGINAL REVIEW 5/22/13

Our Kenmore Estate dryer stopped heating last week. I took it apart and found the heating element was broken in one spot. The decision I had to make was should I buy this cheap replacement one for $20 shipped or the OEM one from the Kenmore website for $80+. Since it's such an easy part to replace I decided to try my luck with this cheaper element. It arrived today, I installed it and the dryer is heating just fine. I'm giving it a 4-star rating because 'I like it' and so far (1 day) it's been working fine. I'll be sure to update this review as time goes by to help give potential buyers a better feel for whether this heating element is the right choice for them. So far so good!

UPDATES

5/29/13 It's been a week and we've probably used our dryer 5-10 times. Still drying great...

6/17/13 It's been almost 4wks and the dryer is still going strong. At this point I'm still happy I bought the cheap-o over the OEM.

7/27/13 Just over 2 months now and still working great...

I don't understand why ours keep going out. The first one went out after a week, the 2nd one just recently went out over the weekend after 3 months. I have a house full of people so it is just as cheap for me to keep buying them versus going to a laundry mat. I'm hoping this one will hold me over another month until I can buy a new set. I hear some good reviews then some bad. The item does show up in a timely manor and they did replace the one after a week. I'm not going to pursue it this time. I guess with all parts though, you either get a descent one or the one made on "Friday" lol.

We picked up a broken used dryer for my daughter from a neighbor that was throwing them away. The only thing wrong was the heater core had broken. It is easy to test for this with a Ohm meter. If you don't have continuity across the 2 connections of the element then it has a break in it somewhere and can't heat up. It has to be replaced and this replacement appears to be a quality piece.

This isn't the first time this part has gone out on my dryer. The first time it happened I bought the part locally for 3x the price. I remember that when I fixed it that time, it wasn't an original manufacturer product, but it did work so I didn't mind. Fast forward about 18 months and the same part is broken. I called the same place and they wanted the same amount. I asked them for the part number and decided to check out amazon. Sure enough, same non-OEM part but 1/3 the price.

Cheap Haier CPN10XCJ 10000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $479.00
Sale Price: $399.99
Today's Bonus: 16% Off

Guess I'll go in order of what was important to me when buying my first portable A/C unit.

Cooling: My residence has two large picture windows facing east and I'm on the top floor of the building. It gets blazing hot about 30 days a year here in San Francisco, so my place gets like an oven. So good cooling was critical. (If you are curious, without A/C on the hot days it would get a stifling 80 to 85 degrees in my rooms! Alas, that's the price I pay for having an otherwise full water view of the San Francisco bay, Bay Bridge and east bay foothills. The 15' x 10' windows provide a great view, but they act like magnifying glasses (even with blinds that block the heat, and a fully insulated ceiling). The only benefit of the heat in my place, as the old saying goes, "it is a dry heat." I am thankful for that because I HATE humidity.

I have always used window A/C units, about 5000 to 8000 BTU each, one in the living room, one in the bedroom. (My latest units were small 7000 BTU Panasonics. They work great and I simply figured it was time to replace them, being that they are about 2004 units.) Wanting to update I decided to get a portable unit, first for the bedroom, to see how it would perform.

This Haier unit gets the bedroom ice cold and if I leave the BR door open it cools the next room somewhat. How cool is that? Very. (Note: the BR is about 200 SF.)

Dependability: My Haier unit has been left on 24 hours, without incident. And I have had it for 18 months. I last used it about 8 months ago. When it got hot here a couple days ago I plugged it in, it fired right up and again ran 18 hours without incident. I was the coolest cat in town, literally and figuratively.

Set It and Forget It: I like the controls. I set it to the desired temp, the thermostat works perfect, cycling the cooling on and off according to the temp setting.

Features: While mainly concerned about cooling performance, I did want a unit with a remote, temp settings, thermostat (rather than a high, med, low switch), digital display, and fan speeds. This Haier comes with all these features.

Noise: While I did not want a unit that was super noisy, noise emission was not a critical factor. But I was pleasantly surprised that this Haier unit can operate quiet. Yeah, when the fan is set to full blast it is noisy, but hey, it is an A/C unit. If it is making lots of noise, that's because you are running it full blast. As an indication of noise level, if I have it running full blast and I'm in the next room, I don't notice it. I have to walk into the BR to see if it is on.

Keep in mind, however, an added benefit of the noise is that it acts as a white noise machine. You get used to the sound and it pleasantly drowns out City noise, which here in San Francisco there's a lot of. So when you set it on at night, it is like taking an Ambien. It lulls you to sleep. (It is kind of the same effect as falling asleep when on a jet, or on a train. The noise emissions of those travel modes can put you to sleep, so much so that my noise making machine has "train mode" where it sounds like you are in a train sleeping car., with the hum of the engines and clacking of the wheels on the rails.)

Value: I bought my unit on sale for about $270. What a great deal. I wish I had bought two of these units. Oh well, but I will buy another Haier unit because the Company has proven itself.

Portability: The unit is on wheels and actually quite easy to move around. While the footprint is somewhat large, hey, it is an air conditioner not a stereo. I was not expecting this to be the size of a microwave. In any event, it does roll around with little effort, although once you have this placed where you want (and where the tubing can vent hot air outside through a window) you are not going to be moving it much.

Bonus Tip: I am going to experiment with another one of these and run the exhaust hose up the stove hood. That's because I have a computer area next to the kitchen and there's no window nearby, so when trying to figure out a solution I looked at the kitchen hood. I can remove the fan and run the A/C exhaust tube into the circular fan opening that runs to the roof of the building. Yeah it won't look pretty, but I'd rather feel cool than look it.

Instructions: This was easy to unpack and all I made sure to do was remove all the tape and foam around the unit. So I did have to read the instructions to make sure I did not miss anything. Otherwise, you plug it in and turn it on. It is that simple. Matter of fact I turned it on without the exhaust tube connected to a window. The exhaust air was broiling hot. Kind of silly, one end was blowing ice cold air, the other end blowing air hot enough to cook with. But I wanted to try it out because that's what guys do.

Bragging Rights: I enjoyed calling my friends who were suffering in the heat, saying "Wow is it cold today or what. Hold on, I have to put on a coat. Oh wait, that's my A/C unit, never mind." (I then heard the phone click. How rude for them to hang up on me. Was it something I said?)

Bonus Tip: If your place is going to get hot later in the day, turn on your A/C BEFORE it gets hot. These A/C units work a lot better if they don't have to cool down an 80 degree room. I'm a lot more comfortable if I don't wait to turn on the Haier until AFTER it feels like an Easy Bake oven in my place.

Bonus Tip: To give this A/C unit a little extra circulation (to where it blows air into the next room, not a lot, but some) I place a little portable fan on the table next to this unit. I then run the fan on high. This adds about 1/3 more power to blow and circulate the cool air around.

It's pretty quiet compared to most air conditioners and even though my room is a decent size with high ceilings it'll make the whole room cool within minutes.

I could not go bigger as this unit is 115 volt and plugs into a normal electric outlet while the 12,000 btu unit requires a 20 amp dedicated fuse and outlet. Haier states the unit is for a small room, i.e. 300 sq. ft. area max.

I believe the manufacturer is reading reviews, too. My 2012 version has an unlighted circuit-breaker plug and the bright blue front panel turns itself off after a few seconds. (The light from the LED's bothered people who installed the unit in the bedroom.

One sets the thermostat to the desired temperature and picks the fan speed. There is also a timer function. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are three fan speeds and the unit continues to run whether the compressor is working or not. Since it is dehumidifying when the compressor isn't on, I don't mind the continual fan.

The remote has large buttons and the same functions as the unit.

I would like to mention that the exhaust pipe heats up fairly significantly when it is cooling. So, cold air is coming out the front but the exhaust vent pipe is reducing efficiency. I may insulate the vent piping on principle.

Also, there is a knob on the back that says "closed/open" that does not appear in the instruction manual. I have not tried to go to the manufacturer's site to read up-to-date specifications.
