This heater was purchased for use in an airplane hangar I chose this particular model because it had enough BTU's to do the job, and was easily movable with the included wheel kit.

Pros: Well made, portable, holds 14 gallons of fuel (burns 1.3 GPH), will burn kerosene, diesel, Jet-A and #2 fuel oil. I was particularly impressed by the quality of the wheel/axle assembly. No smoke and very little odor burning diesel fuel. Easy to assemble.

Cons: Although the heater moves easily, the front handle is a bit cumbersome. The fuel filler is located such that you will probably need to use a funnel. The fuel gauge seems accurate. The heater arrives factory-set to burn kerosene. Using one of the other higher viscosity fuels may require adjusting the fuel pump pressure this is easy to do, but the instructions are a bit confusing as the drawing of the adjustment screw did not match what I was seeing. I took a chance on the screw that extended out from the back of the pump housing, and it did the trick.

Overall a great purchase!

Customer Ratings:

This is my second winter for his heater and it will not run at all now. I would recommend to others not buy this product. I can not even find parts for it now. I guess they want you to take it in for repair which would probably be expensive, possibly more than its worth. two thumbs down

Of my current three units, the oldest is probably three years old and I just purchased our 4th one. Where I live (rent), the heat is just sucked out of the building in the winter and we have these scattered around the house supplementing the built-in systems since the heating requirements are so high. For those who have mentioned it only lasted for 'so long', I too had one unit burn out two of the four elements. Then I realized that other devices on the same circuit are causing overloads at the heater when they cycle or shut off. This is what caused the elements to burn out. That unit has since been repaired and I have put individual surge protectors on each one and have had no issues whatsoever.

Reviews of Vogelzang TR003 Highlander EPA Wood Stove

Customer Ratings:

Where do I begin? This heater is no heater at all. We bought it when our 30 year old wood heater became a hazard. Ordered it from our local lumber company. It does not heat 100sq. ft. much less 600 to 1000. The stay clear glass immediately became covered with soot and within one week the "Z" bar, baffle support fell out. Unable to get a response from the company during the holidays, we continued to try to heat with it. After a couple weeks, they finally called us back, and told us the airflow was affected due to the bar being out, and to just pop it back in. Finally got it back in, only to find it still did not heat well. After about three weeks it is out again. Just fell out while heater was in use. Not being loaded or wood being moved at all. I opened the door to find it lying in the opening. Am in the process to see if I have any recourse or any possibility of a refund!

I've been heating with this stove in Northern MI for two years and for the price it heats as well as stoves that cost three times as much. I should know, my parents both heat with Lopi stoves that are quite pricey in their 2 houses both similar in size to ours. While it doesn't heat the full 1700 sq ft of our house, it keeps the core area around the stove nice and warm and spreads at least a reasonable amount of heat throughout the house to knock off the chill in the distant areas. I would suggest burning only nicely seasoned hardwood in this stove as softwood and even softer hardwoods don't put out the heat. We burn red oak exclusively and can keep the core of our home, which is a 1930's farmhouse, between 65-75 even on bitterly cold winter days. One final suggestion, make sure you follow the chimney guidelines to the letter and install the minimum of 15 ft of chimney above the stove as if you cut corners with it the stove will not draft correctly and won't heat up to it's intended levels. I'd recommend this stove to anyone who wants a good, solid wood stove at a good price.

We purchased this wood stove a few months ago and are very disappointed. The blower is so loud you cant just sit and listen to the fire ( even on the lowest setting). The damper design does not let enough air to the fire so we have to leave the door cracked and cant leave the room and the gasket already fell off and had to be replaced. Do not get this stove. Also it would be nice to have a ash box.

Honest reviews on Vogelzang TR003 Highlander EPA Wood Stove

While the stove itself is great (owned it for the last 4-5 years) the blower heater has not worked properly for the last 3-4 years. It is terrible. When it does run it makes a terrible noise and only one of the fans works. We have taken it apart and cleaned it etc. to no avail.

We have this stove in a 600 sf room, and it hardly keeps the room warm. The opening is so small it's hard to get wood into. This stove was certainly a waste of money.

Review of Soleus KY3-100 10000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

Customer Ratings:

I installed the AC this AM. Outside temps were high 70's. When I turned it on the room temp was 80* and the outside temp 78*. Four hours later the outside temp was 81* and the inside temp was 82*. By early evening the outside temp had risen to 86*, exactly the same as the inside temp. It's now 10PM and 76* outside and our bedroom is 86*. Apparently the unit makes a good bedroom heater.

While it's obvious that the AC function isn't working, the real problem is that the unity is poorly designed and not intended for bedroom use. It is so loud that sleep will be impossible, listening to television unthinkable and having a conversation in a normal speaking voice is unhearable. Think B-17 revving it's engines.

Add to that the absolutely inconvenient condensate drain system and you have a real winner. The drain is about 1" above floor level. The condensate tank holds about 1.5L of water. The unit comes with a "drain pan" that probably holds a couple of ounces. You are left with the choice of either draining into the shallow pan provided and draining the tank a few ounces at a time or you can lift the 70# unit and drain it into a larger container. Incidentally it took only 12 hours to fill the tank and then the AC shuts off (not that it made a difference). So much for the evaporating condensate feature.

To make matters worse, I have to pay shipping to get warrantee repairs on an overpriced piece of junk that I wish I had never purchased. I'm currently debating just tossing it in the junk pile where it belongs and eating the cost.

I read a lot of review about this product before I made my purchase. What I noticed on a pretty consistent basis is that the people who posted really negative reviews were people who don't actually have one because they think the heaters are too expensive. Lets' settle this up front, these heaters are expensive so if you're looking for a bargain then this heater is not for you. If, however, you're looking for a stylish way to heat your home or maybe just an individual room then I think this heater is a great. I am completely satisfied with my heaters. I have 2 of them, one for my bedroom and one for the living room, dinning room, kitchen area. The total square footage of my house is just shy of 1,000sq ft.

The heaters have kept my house an nice and even 67 degrees (my preferred temperature) without any noticeable fluctuations in temperature. I live in Ketchikan, Alaska, which is in the middle of a temperate rain forest. This means that we don't get the extreme cold temperatures here, but it certainly is not "warm" very frequently. I chose to go with electric heaters because electricity is much cheaper than oil where live and natural gas is not an option. I tried the cheap space heaters that people keep saying "will heat your house just as well as they Dyson for 10% of the cost", and I can tell you that they certainly do not maintain a consistent temperature the way that these heaters do. I saw that some people have complained that they're a little big "loud", but I don't really think so. After a few days I really didn't even notice when the heater was running anymore. I guess I expected that the heaters would make a little bit of noise since they're also fans and I've never had a fan that didn't make some noise. Overall I'm very satisfied with the performance of the heater. It does what I expected it to do, which is heat one 500 sq ft area in my house, and heat my bedroom which is about 300 sq ft.

So the real question is "is this heater worth the money"? To me, I say absolutely. They do what I want them to do, and they look awesome. I'm willing to pay extra to get something more than just utility out of a device. Are there no cheaper "safe" heaters, no other cheaper heaters that will heat just as well, of course not. There are lots of other heaters out there, and if you're getting this heater because you think somehow it's gonna magically heat your house better for less money, then you're going to be disappointed. If you are going to buy heaters anyway and don't mind paying a little extra for heaters that look cool, then go ahead an purchase this heater. I did, and I don't regret it. I liken purchasing this device to purchasing a Bose audio device. You'll have to put up with listening to people tell you about how you "overpaid for a name brand", but in the end, most people who have Bose audio systems are very happy with them. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with paying a little more for something you'll be happy with if you can afford it. So these aren't a bargain, but they are fun.

I'll start with a little scene setting: When the idiots who previously owned my 1914 farmhouse a long, long time ago turned the attic into a master bedroom (guest room and bathroom too), they didn't run the heat vents to the master. Because of this, I turn the house heat off at night unless we have guests. They installed a chintzy little built-in electric heater in the wall. The bedroom is 400 square feet with ceilings 25 feet high in center to 12 feet at the edge. The wall heater scares me. I've made it through four winters just fine, only occasionally needing a second blanket. Obviously we have good insulation, seals around the door to the widow's walk, and good windows (I keep one cracked at all times tho). Then I had surgery in early January and was forced to lounge around in bed all day. My SO stayed home to take care of me. In order to heat the bedroom to a comfortable level, the heat downstairs needed to turned on really, really high.

In checking out solutions, I discovered the Dyson hot was a fan as well. I was sold, having fallen in love with fans at my friends homes on hot, hot days last summer. Also since the heat comes from the center of a void, my dog won't interested. They have been known to sniff the vent front on a fan and that part heats up with a space heater. Also dog hair collects on traditional fans (and therefore heat fans). Pugs shed a lot, but with the Dyson Hot, the fur stays on the ground. But everyone was sold out of them, and the company selling on Amazon was marked up $50 over the $399 price tag. On a post-doctor appt. trip to Bed, Bath & Beyond to buy throw pillows to elevate my arm, I saw the Dyson Hot in white was $100 off (blue sold out, but I was in too much pain to care about the color).

After reading reviews, I did not know what to expect. We set it up in the middle of the room on the floor at an angle from the wall, so it would oscillate past the bed (its a platform so low to ground) and I turned it on at 68 degrees fan level 2. I was freezing. It took maybe 5 minutes for me to stop freezing. I didn't really pay attention to it and went about lounging around uncomfortably in bed. I heard it going on and off. It's not loud, but it does sound like a fan. Obviously the higher fan speeds means more noise, but not loud enough to say have to turn the tv off or wake me up.

When my SO came to check on me he commented how the room felt really warm with a noticeable temperature difference between hallway and bedroom. Warm and happy, I turned the fan off for a while and turned it on as needed throughout the last few weeks.

Basic Observations:

1. On Oscillation mode it heats up a 400 square foot room to a comfortable temperature. I am not a person who thinks a room needs to be 80 degrees--more like between 68 to 72. With my arm in a crazy contraption, I can only wear tank tops and the like, so I'm not bundled up. The Dyson Hot keeps At night, I put the Dyson Hot on 66 and eventually turn it off when I get too warm under covers. It heats a decent size room quickly AND COMFORTABLY.

2. On fan speed 2, you can feel the heat from about 10 feet away. It's not a hard blast pf hot, but a warm breeze as it moves by you. 10 feet is where my head sits if its on edge of bed. I didn't test further distances. I also didn't test the stationary mode.

3. It's sitting on hardwood floor. It's not wobbly and it doesn't heat up on the plug or base. The dogs sniff around it a bit, but haven't burnt themselves, although the inside has a warning it gets hot. I didn't touch it. But most importantly, it's sturdy. I've used oscillating heaters in the past (at work) and they always wobbled and would fall easily.

4. Through our really bad winter storms last week, it survived a couple brown outs. It also kept me warm.

5. It has both the thermostat and the fan speed. Much more control than the usual low, medium, high. The thermostat is on the base pointing out instead of on top, so you can actually see it when using remote.

6. I've used the fan a couple times and it offers a nice cool breeze throughout the room.

7. It's not whisper quiet, but than neither was the $150 whisper quiet space heater I had at work.

it is the same audible level as the Dyson fan.

Cons:

1. Moving between the heater and fan is clunky, requiring you to lower the temperature to 32 to turn on fan and up too 66 to turn on heater. I would have liked a button to switch.

2. The remote is supposedly magnetic with the top of the fan. Mine is not as far as I can tell. I keep the remote on the nightstand so not really a problem.

3. No timer. Not necessary, but would be a nice feature.

So yes it's expensive, but if you don't have the money for it, than don't complain about the price just don't buy it. I don't see that as a con. I am willing to pay extra for a safe, reliable room heater that also has a great fan. All of the ones I've used or seen at friends houses have always sucked or are scary like the one stuck in my wall. And not all of those are that cheap anyway. It's not going to substitute for an actual heater in the house, but its an excellent option to add extra heat to a single room.

Update: now that I'm not on bed rest, my SO has been using the Dyson hot. He's more of a crank it up until the room is an oven, he puts it on 86 or so and leaves it on for a while. It really does crank the heat. This thing is warm!

Update 2: After two months of continuous use between January 20 and March 20, 2012 in the cold, cold Seattle Winter including snow (no other heater in bedroom), my bill was $13 more in 2012 than in 2011. So it seems pretty energy efficient.

Best Deals for Dyson AM04 Hot + Cool Heater/Table Fan

There are a lot of negative and positive reviews of this heater and very little in between. Here's my take. First, I paid $260 at Costco...at the $400 list price I would have a different level of expectation, but I'm judging based on what I paid.

It's quiet as fans go...I found it to be a very reasonable sound level. It warms our upstairs nicely (we have a wood stove to heat downstairs...I'm not heating a 1000 square foot detached garage, so I don't know if it's up to that job). The rotating and tilt features are great for our needs to spread the heat around upstairs from the hallway. Controls, remote are all nice, easy to use. It's very small so you would have to practically get on your knees to hit the controls, but the remote eliminates the need for that. The compact cylindrical shape makes it easy to place in small areas. It produces a decent jet of warm air...almost a tube shaped flow.

The exposed surface (inside the ring) does get very warm, BUT not what I'd call dangerously hot. I have a 4 and a 6 year old. If they tried to hold on to the surface as long as they could they might be able to burn themselves, but when I touched it it slowly got more uncomfortable...I pulled my hand away after about 5-10 seconds, unharmed. So I think the kids would feel hot enough that they would pull their hands away well before they got burned. Same for a inquisitive pet sniffing around. With a toddler my concern wouldn't be so much getting burned but knocking it down. I think one could place it outside a baby/toddler room and let it shoot the jet of heat through a gate (leaving 3 ft between the unit and the gate).

It has overheat and tilt safety which I like, although I think the safety shut off for the tilt should kick in a lot sooner...I have a cheap heater that shuts off at about 10 degrees. The Dyson seems to have to be 80 degrees or so...could be a problem if it falls partially on to something and remains on, leaning against it (like a pile of clothes). That should be improved.

Like most of these heaters the cord is only 6 ft so it does make it hard to place (because extension cords are not supposed to be used).

I recommend it enough that I wanted to write this to counter some of the negative reviews.

Honest reviews on Dyson AM04 Hot + Cool Heater/Table Fan

I bought this product because it was not just a heater it is both a heater and a fan. This product works and works well. We have a large second floor bedroom that gets cooler in the winter than the other areas of the house. We have already had temps of 38 at night and by setting this heater at 72 with the swivel turned on and tilted up warms the room very quickly and then stops while the thermostat waits for the temp to drop. So I do not have to adjust the furnace to compensate for this bedroom. The remote control is extremely simple to use and the read-outs on the front are clear and easily readable. I have tried other heating units and this is by far the best.

I chose this because Dyson products have an extremely good reputation. I have one of their vacuums and it's great. This heater is so nice--really heats a room but slowly and keeps it at an even temp. Quiet---no sign of fire or flame or hot tubes. Doesn't use a ton of electricity. So very pleased!!!

I had the "old model" of this oven for around 5-years or so. I broke one of the infrared bulbs (while cleaning it) last week. Fortunately I found out that they have started to make this oven again. They had stopped (or at least stopped importing them) when I checked a couple of years ago for a friend of mine who wanted one. But this "new model" is exactly the same as my "old" one except the name on a couple of buttons has changed, and also it's now silver instead of white.

Frist, let me just say what this toaster oven is NOT. . .It is NOT a replacement for a "traditional" oven. If you're looking for something of that sort, then I highly recommend you check out one of the Breville or Black & Decker models. This Panasonic toaster oven will NOT cook a chicken. . or bake an 8" pie.. . or bake a cake. But what it does. . .it does VERY well.

This oven works by infrared light. You can Google to find out exactly how this works, if you want the specifics. Because of this, there is no pre-heating required. The lights will turn on-and-off while the oven is in operation. This can be a little "confusing" when you start to use it, but you'll get used to it.

This oven works WONDERFULLY for the following items:

* Toast using whatever bread you like. . . however thick you like

* Toasting bagels or English muffins

* Heating pastries or croissants

* Baking biscuits (Pillsbury frozen buttermilk biscuits are my favorite)

* Heating frozen appetizers such as breaded cheese sticks, chicken fingers, etc.

* Pizza reheating or baking. Either a small whole pizza or a slice of a large pizza

* Frozen garlic bread

* Cookies

Though the guide says that you can bake cakes and pies in it. . . I've tried, and it didn't work for me. If you're baking small tarts which are perhaps a half-inch thick. . .or a cake where it's no more than ½ inch thick.. .then perhaps you could get it to work. . but again. . . this is not like a "traditional" oven, so I think if you're going to bake such things, then you would be much better off using a "traditional" oven.

It's wonderful that there is no pre-heating. I put frozen biscuits in, and 20-minutes later they are just perfect.

The oven has some preset buttons on the front where you can also choose from "light" (shorter cooking time) to "dark" (longer cooking time). . . or. . . you can choose the temperature and length of cooking you would like, up to 25-minutes.

The pan that comes with the oven is 9-inches square. This is certainly the maximum size for the oven.

You will learn by trial-and-error what works best with this oven. But after having one for around 5-years, I can HIGHLY recommend it. I have never seen a toaster oven which works like this. . .which has pre-set buttons. . .which doesn't require pre-heating. . . . and does such a fantastic job.

It's hard to believe that I get so excited about such an item. . .but this is one of those rare occasions where something just works well. . . REALLY REALLY well.

P.S. If you are not using the preset buttons, this toaster oven has a timer up to 25-minutes. If you press the "up" arrow to increase the time, it goes in 30-second intervals up to ten-minutes, and then it goes by 1-min intervals. If you want to bake something on the "higher-end" of the timer, then use the "down arrow" to start with and it will go from 25-minutes backwards.

Thank goodness this wonderful toaster oven is available again!!! I used the previous version for many happy years. It is a perfect design (small footprint on countertop, easy-to-use controls) and quickly produces great toast and perfectly baked foods! I have missed having this oven, since I dumbly tossed my old one out last year, when it began looking its age. To my great dismay I quickly discovered that the model had been discontinued and I was unable to buy one like it! So, I resorted to trying an expensive KitchenAid toaster oven (Model KCO223CU) which promptly caused me several severe hand, finger, and arm burns (door didn't open fully, etc.); I removed the darn KitchenAid oven from my kitchen and donated it to charity (still feel a little guilty about the poor person who gets it). I've been without a toaster oven for several months, refusing to settle for anything less than my wonderful old Panasonic Flash Xpress! NOW it is AVAILABLE AGAIN!!! Hip hip hooray!!! Special thanks to my husband, who pointed this fact out to me last night, after seeing it in his Oct. Popular Science magazine; all my wailing and complaining about the unavailable Flash Xpress must've seared into his memory (I'm astonished that he recognized the oven -he never cooks). And, thank you Panasonic!!!! I'm 60 years old and I know a great product when I find one! Aloha from Hawaii!

Best Deals for Panasonic NB-G110P Flash Xpress Toaster Oven, Silver

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I hate to harsh people's mellows, I really do, but I also hate trying to find out the cons for a product when it gets almost unanimous praise (I'm sure there is some psychological/societal issue going on with that, but that's a different story), so hopefully I can help others with this.

A few years ago, I went on a toaster research crusade, due to having bought several toaster ovens in as many years, and finally realizing that most of them were just designed to fail within short life spans (IMO).

Even my highly rated and expensive Delonghi, died well before what I expected its life span to be (one year). Finally, I bought the "Cadillac" of toasters, (and I gave it a great review here), the Breville, stainless steel monster (Breville BOV800XL Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ) which costs what seems to be a ridiculous price for a toaster (hint you can get them on BIG sales, (or consider using one of those ubiquitous big % off coupons for a certain bed and bath chain *COUGH*), but has more than 1,000 reviews on here, with 4.5 stars. You get what you pay for with toasters? Maybe.

Interestingly, I had looked at this Panny infra-red model before, since my family of 5 are toastaholics, and the idea of "fast toast" really appealed to me for those rushed school mornings. So I was lucky enough to get one for review from Vine, but unfortunately, after a few weeks of regular use, we have gone back to the Breville. As cool as the infra-red tech sounds, and is, this does not make up for the lack of more practical features and design that I believe it lacks.

PROS:

1. Very small footprint, and good aesthetics. If you lack a lot of counter space, this will make you happy, as it's tiny. Looks good on counter as well (nice clean, modern look)

2. Claims of 40% faster toasting seems to be accurate, at least compared to my Breville. It IS truly, VERY fast at both cooking and toasting.

3. I love the fact that the heat is accompanied by almost blinding light, so you can REALLY see your food. Welding goggles sold separately.

4. Price seems about right, if a little high (now I see it has jumped so not as valid when I got the unit)

5. The cool factor (I'm always up for high tech gadgetry) of infrared light for heating.

CONS:

1. Same as the pro (small size), but this was such a big con for me (family of 5), that it made the unit almost worthless. YMMV. It's so small that I couldn't even fit smallish frozen pizzas in there. And you can forget about some of the what I would consider normal sized frozen pizza brands (diGiorno, Tombstone, California Pizza Kitchen). Not gonna fit. I was also used to cooking even large frozen dishes like lasagnas or pasta dishes in the Breville, and you can forget about that with this one. Again, this can be a pro or con for you, depending on your usage. But if you like to use your toaster as an oven like we do, I would look elsewhere.

2. Uneven cooking. This one surprised me. There is a definite heat bias towards the back of the unit (and I think they mention this in the manual even),so that in some cases, you will need to rotate things for even cooking. Big pain, for me, and that right there is a deal breaker. (you don't HAVE to rotate things, of course, but you will have quite varying degrees of doneness from food in the front vs food in back)

3. Learning curve. Didn't expect this either, but it also ties into the whole "this thing is cool, but kind of a pain!" mentality I have regarding the toaster. You can forget about looking at the back of the box of frozen food for indications on what temp and time settings to use. Due to the faster cooking, and I think the way it cooks, it's almost like there are no directions for you to go by, except your own trial and error. I have burned many a frozen thing, (while inside was still cold), and I have had cases where I had to "reheat" something multiple times because what I thought was done, needed more cooking. You will probably get used to the non-standard calibration over time, but do you really want to have to come up with custom settings, and maybe more importantly LEARN the appropriate setting for every new thing you cook? Blegh.

4. My biggest hope for this was spectacular toast. If it could have done that, I might have considered keeping it just for that reason, and going back to using the regular oven for larger items. Nooooo! Due to the lack of an adjustable height rack (!?!), Every time I toasted something, the bottom (which you can't see, obviously), gets many times darker than the top, and it should be the opposite, IMO, if only for the fact that you can visually inspect to see if your toast is burning or not. This killed me, and is unfortunate, especially if you are a pre-butterer like I am (something the manual states you SHOULD NOT do since it might catch fire!) Rebel, and noted cynic that I am, I DID pre-butter, and had no problems (and IMO you want the buttered side to be the more toasted, not the opposite, and I did not want to toast buttered side down, so you see my dilemma!) :D

I could go on, and I fully realize that a lot of people have and do disagree with the above points (look at the reviews!), but that's the way I see it this is a flawed toaster oven, that does neither toasting, nor ovening well compared to the better conventional tech toaster ovens out there. I REALLY wanted to like it, and was like a kid at Christmas when I opened it and tried it out, but it just fails in too many categories for us to continue to use it.

I can see it being good for single people, or couples that don't eat frozen pizzas, or toast, and people with very little counter space, but again, not my profile, so for me, it was an unfortunate bust. Please note that current prices of the Panny vs. the Breville are not comparable, as the MSRP of the Breville is about double I think, BUT you can get it for MUCH cheaper than that. MUCH (not as cheaply as this unit at it's highest, but close enough to not make a huge difference)

To end on a positive note, if they made a larger model with adjustable height racks, I would be all over it, since that would solve my biggest two complaints.

Honest reviews on Panasonic NB-G110P Flash Xpress Toaster Oven, Silver

In short: these guys thought of everything you could want in a toaster, and made it reliably for a great price.

Also, as far as I can tell, they pioneered the market for infrared toaster ovens for 7 YEARS before anyone else.

If you aren't familiar with infrared toasters, basically it means fast even cooking and no more burnt smelling food after cheese drips or something. It burns differently and it stops smelling quickly.

Cleaning is EASY. The front pullout tray is awesome, I can clean it up in seconds. I can also pull out the grill quick and put it back in.

The only minor negative is that I sometimes want to adjust the time while it is cooking, and it doesnt allow that. You can only adjust cook time at the beginning. Not a big deal though.

Before this toaster, I had tried 2 or 3 that were garbage, they had the traditional timers that never worked or cooked consistently. I had to check constantly to see when something would be magically "done".

My family uses this toaster every day (or close) for the past 5 or 6 years and it still works. It has been dropped, burnt (it was next to the stovetop), and generally manhandled. I am actually surprised it survived this long. I used to look on craigslist for the toaster for a few years when I thought "this should have died by now" because it wasn't on the market anymore and it would completely stink to use anything else.

I'm happy to see you can still get this again. If you want a toaster and can affort spending $100 or so, this is a no-brainer. This model has been THE top rated toaster on amazon for years, literally. It is the Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky of toasters.

To be fair, I might consider the newer infrared Breville's if I was looking at the moment, but it is hard to ignore the Panasonic reliability and simple reality this is a beautiful product across the board.

PS: To Panasonic, why the heck did you stop selling this? I had over 7 people complain to me they tried to buy one EVERYWHERE. People offered to buy mine. You could have jacked the price up an $50 and still sold a ton of them.

I bought my first Panasonic Flash Express toaster about 15 years ago after I saw it in a Popular Science magazine that I must have seen in a doctor's office or bookstore because I haven't been a subscriber in decades. Since then I needed another just months after they stopped importing them. Prices on the dwindling stock reached $250+ for a toaster that sold for $99.95 on Amazon. Eventually I bought a slightly used one for our garage apartment which eventually was brought downstairs when the original unit finally declared "toasted". Speed forward several years (imagine the clock hands spinning like in the movies) and I'm thumbing through the Popular Science today at the grocery store and go the the "What's New" section THE PANASONIC FLASH EXPRESS IS BACK!!! Could tell that the button labels were slightly different but everything else was the same. Thought it might be a cruel trick by Panasonic but this listing does give hope that there might be more in the pipeline. Panasonic and Amazon better get prepared to sell a bunch. Go to the original Flash Express listing and look at the hundreds of reviews and the associated dates. Many if not most of those folk are ready for a new toaster. Many of their friends who had been repeatedly subjected praise for a no longer available household appliance may decide to give it a try and see what these legions of toaster aficionados see in a piece of electrified sheet metal. If Amazon was smart (and they are) they would send a note to previous Flash Express owners and let them know it is available again. Expecting them to see it in Popular Science is a one in a million shot. Not.

The previous model was introduced before social media existed. As soon as it has its own Facebook page and Tweeter hashtag sales of this toaster alone may be able to lift the currently miserable fortunes of Panasonic.

Welcome back. My order is in.

While I am not specifically reviewing this mattress I want buyers of Strobel products to know they do not honor their warranty. I purchased a latex foam mattress manufactured by Strobel a few years ago and it has sagged to the point of being uncomfortable and very unsightly. The sagging even shows when I have my down filled duvet on top of the mattress. The mattress has a non-prorated warranty on it as quoted from their website, "Accordingly we offer 5-year non-prorated/20 prorated warranty on Supple-Forma mattresses, and 10-year non-prorated/30 prorated warranty on Supple-Pedic 3000, 4500, and 6000 models." I have contacted Strobel twice and have not had any type of response from them. I highly recommend refraining from purchasing any of their products due to their lack of response in standing behind not only their products, but their promise also.

For those of us that shave in the shower, this is awesome. It sits flush with the tile and is very neat and easy to install. However, if you don't have it on and it fogs up, switching it on will not clear it up easily. It takes time. I have since wired it to my shower light so it comes on when the shower is in use. A little expensive but for something that you use every day, its worth it.

Cheap Real Flame 710-BK Real Flame Edgerton Wall Fireplace, Black

We love to seat by the fire but after we got an estimate for installing a gas fireplace, we had to look for other options. This gel fuel fireplace turned out to be a great alternative. We have had it for over a week now and here are the things I love about it:

It was very easy to install. It came with a metal bracket that you screw to the wall and then simply hang the fireplace on the bracket.

It is slim enough to be hanged by my dining room table so we can enjoy beautiful flames while dining

It does provide quite a bit of heat. We did not turn the thermostat down the first time we tried this fireplace and the room became noticeably warmer within an hour. We are hoping we can use it as a source heat next time we loose power in the middle of the cold season.

We used gel fuel by real flame and it produced nice orange fire with some light cracking sound. There was no smell while the fire was burning but we felt light alcohol smell when we left some unburned fuel in the fireplace. Next time we will not pour the entire bottle into the fireplace!

The flame is protected by the glass

On the days when I don't want the extra heat, i just put large tea lights on the fireplace shelf. The fireplace has stainless steel backing which gives beautiful reflection when burning candles and the flames are well protected behind the glass screen. I love this double duty!

Did I mention that the fireplace is beautiful and modern looking? :-)

The only con I can think of is the cost of the gel fuel. I wish there would be a cheaper alternative.

Reviews of Intermatic FF6H 6-Hour Spring Loaded Wall Timer, Brushed Metal

Customer Ratings:

Description says brushed metal but it is really plastic. Face plate is also a bit oversized. Probably fine for single box/plate installation, but my application was in a double plate switch cover and this plate would not work with double plate. Older timer models bought before had a smaller plate that sit into indent where normal toggle switch sat. They were also white, not brushed metal color. Fortunately I was upgrading my 60 minute timer to this 6 hour timer, so I relabeled the numbers on my old smaller white 60 minute timer plate to work. Otherwise timer works great.

It is functional and does the job intended. I did not like the plastic face plate and the product description said it was metal. You should change the product description online.

I would give it 5 stars but the FACE PLATE in Plastic, NOT BRUSHED METAL as advertised. I think seller should change description as others have complained and nothing is done about it. The only way to get someone's attention is to rate it low. Product is fine, No instructions included. And as I stated, Plastic NOT metal.

I got this for my patio in Costa Rica and the people there usually leave the lights on 24/7 since during the day, they don't realize the lights are on. It gets dark around 6 year around in C.R. and with the 6 hour timer, it tells them to get to bed and not stay up all night playing. Overall a great timer and great invention. I have owned many of these over the years and I have found the longer the maximum time interval, the shorter the life of the timer. This is my first 6 hour timer. Let's see how it last compared to a 12 hour timer.

Blows about as much air and as much heat as if you'd propped up a small hair dryer. About as LOUD as a hair dryer, too.

Things unclear in the picture:

The adjustment allows you to swivel it on the bar in that position, not change its position on the bar.

It's tiny. It's about the same size as two hair dryers, side-by-side, and almost as loud.

It does make warm air, but it does so VERY LOUDLY.

Did I mention it's LOUD?

If you turn one on to take a relaxing bath in a warm environment, this is loud enough to startle you each and every time it pops back on, from over six feet away.

For about the same price, you can get a Vornado Vortex Heat Whole Room Compact Portable Electric Space Heater EH1-0025-01, which is nearly silent, and does the same job in about the same amount of space, with MORE air flow. Silly me, I shoulda bought another one when someone 'borrowed' my heater and never gave it back.

This heater really moves the air and puts out the heat. Great for warming up your feet and the chair your sitting on. Heater is lightweight and very quite for how much air it moves. Don't buy those cheap heaters for $20, their loud and only last approx. 12 months. Buy this one for many years of warm feet during those long winters.

I bought this for my green house last winter. It took me a little time to figure it out, but It worked for my 6 x 8 green house. The thermostat on it does not regulate the temperature on it the way I wanted it to. After trying to get it to work for me for quite a while, I finally bought and external thermostat to do that job. Now it works great. The only issue I have now is when the temperature drop close to 0 it has a hard time keeping up. I will work with it some more. In the mean time I am using it to warm colder rooms in my house while I am working in them. Works Great!

Realistic flames and logs as far as electric fireplaces go; has fan that sends heat outward but can operate without fan. Quick warmup. I use it on my 100 sq foot glass side/roofed sunroom in winter (makes entire room toasty despite all the glass) and then got a second as supplemental heat source and ambiance for a 900 sq foot basement/entertainment room. Heats much better than the heater buried in my ceiling fan in the sunroom. Supposedly covers 400 sq feet but I think it does much better. No remote but that's one less thing to go wrong in my book. If you are sensitive to smells, note it has a moderate smell of newness burning at first but it lessens after about five uses. Lots of compliments and requests as to where I got it.

This fireplace is great and it looks pretty realistic. I had a problem with mine, but it had nothing to do with the fireplace iteself and the seller was more than helpful in helping me work it out.

Honest reviews on Grand Aspirations Fireplace Stove BESKG-1500

This is the second product of this type I have purchased in the last year or so. I originally wanted a unit for my 3-seasons room which has no built-in source of heat in the winter time. Unfortunately, the first unit a bought (not this make or model) sat low to the ground. Since my room is carpeted, I just wasn't comfortable with clearance between the heater and the floor. The fire hazard made me move that unit to my basement where I have bare floors. I saw this model and noticed it appeared to sit up higher than other units and sure enough it does! It is easy to operate and is very attractive. The only feature it doesn't have that I miss from the first unit I purchased is a built-in thermostat. This kicks out continuous heat at a level you choose. It has a high and low setting, and you can turn off the "flames" if you just want heat without the light show. Mine runs all the time on the low setting with medium heat intensity, and so far it seems pretty efficient since my electric bill hasn't significantly increased. Because of the lack of a thermostat, I give this product 4 stars. If you have plush carpeting, this unit is definitely worth your consideration.
