It connects to the flexable hose and to my grill but will not allow gas to flow through, so basically will not work!

Got this product for use on the patio when it is 90 degrees and over. Works well. It has a novel concept of pumping water onto a spinning disk and then a fan blows it outwards, making you feel cooler. It has a setting for the water. On high, you will get wet if you are close by but that can be fun. It is very directional, so it is only good when blowing on 1 or 2 people. The fan does not have any speed settings so I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. Makes an Arizona patio usable in the heat.

This fan is far more convenient and effective than our standard misting fan with nozzles. I was somewhat hesitant because you have to fill it up rather than connect it to a hose like our other one. It turns out that was an advantage. Under normal conditions there is no water buildup in front of the fan and the cool air that reaches you isn't wet. As soon as I tried it, I bought a second one as a present for my son who is in the middle of the Texas drought and I will probably buy another for myself.

Pretty good product. Only negative is it is not oscillating but every review on oscillating fans are negative. this unit cools one area right in front so it's a one person fan. For me, that's fine and until they make a unit that's affordable with good reviews that oscillates, this one is what you should purchase. If you put it on high, you get wet and that's all there is to that. But at half speed, it's good, Even the dog enjoys it. At half speed the water tank lasts about 2 hours. Not having used the other fans, I have no comparison but I cannot give it any negatives.

Honest reviews on Soleus Air MT1-19-32, Humidibreeze Portable Misting System

My patio faces the west and to make things worse it is an apartment with stucco walls protruding outward to make it like an oven on hot Texas summer afternoons. Before I purchased the Soleus Air MT1-19-32 Misting Fan, my patio would get up to about 120 degrees fahrenheit and now it is a tolerable 97 degrees. So the fan does what it is advertised to do and then some. The only thing I don't like (which is not the fans fault)is when it is turned up to the maximum mist setting, you have to fill up the tank about once an hour. Since I have no water facet on an apartment patio I certainly cannot complain about that and I highly recommend the Soleus Air MT1-19-32 Misting Fan.

Yes, you read the title correctly. While most people use this out on their deck to keep themselves or guests cool, I have it outside in front of my chicken coop to keep my hens cool. And this baby does the trick. Just plug it in, fill it up and turn it on. Thats all there is to it. It holds 1 gallon of water. Since the water tray, located in the back of the unit, is a little small, I use a 2 liter bottle to fill the Humidibreeze up. The neck of the bottle fits perfectly above the tray and the bottle itself holds enough water. I fill the Humidibreeze a little past the Max water line, and set the cooling knob to 1 turn below high. By doing this, the mister can go 9 1/2 hours before it needs to be filled up (I am in NV, where it is very hot and very dry). While I am at work I know that my hens are staying cool and comfy, whether they are out in their attached run, or in their coop.

I had read somewhere that you could not use an extension cord with this. I am using a heavy duty outdoor extension cord with no problems whatsoever.

I previously owned a Vicks cool mist humidifier, Vicks 1.0 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier. I bought the other one about two years ago and loved it but it had a lot of wear. I put this humidifier on a wish list and it was purchased for me. The thing that is great, it takes the same filters as my other humidifier which I still had left over, Protec WF2 Extended Life Replacement Humidifier Filter.

My older humidifier was very loud. You could not talk on the phone without the person hearing a very loud hum. I actually got used to it because I live next to an interstate and it was great white noise. This model you can barely hear on the two settings. One you can not even hear that it is on, the other you literally have to be standing right next to it to hear it. It is very silent which to some will be a pro not a con.

I have a newborn and she sleeps in a cradle next to my bed and I love to turn on the lights for her. It is a separate switch so you do not have to have it on while running the humidifier. In fact you can run it alone. I will warn you I find it rather bright. Also, most humidifier I have owned sit on a dresser of some sort so the lights are very close to the edge of the ceiling. I have to pull it out a bit so it can show more on the ceiling. I think that is a poor design flaw. I again think it is bright but turn it on for my little one. Sometimes I get up and turn it off since it can be annoying to see the lights if you are a light sleeper.

My biggest complaint right now is the fan. It does not make any noise but in winter you have to make sure it is not facing the baby or your bed. It blows a lot of air and in the winter it is cold! My bed is about 20 feet from the unit and I have to turn it completely to the side to avoid freezing in winter. I might like it come summer but right now it is very annoying.

I cannot speak for the added Vicks vapors since I have not needed them and they are not approved for newborn use. However, when she is sleeping in her crib and I feel congested I guarantee you I will use it. I have always used Vicks vapor rub or even Vicks Advanced Soothing Vapors Waterless Vaporizer on my night stand and they never fail.

Last, you can place ProTec PC-1 Humidifier Tank Cleaning Cartridge (Pack of 2) in the tank. I did so with my previous humidifier. However, it does scratch the heck out of the tank and makes it look very aged. It did seem to make the filters last longer, by about a week. However, I just use cold filtered water from my kitchen sink and I have not had any issues. Also, the lid is easy to remove and place on the base without any leaking.

As my second Vicks humidifier and for having a newborn you can't go wrong with this unit. I am very pleased and hope to get a few years out of it.

We got this because our air conditioner was de-humidifying the air and we have acoustic guitars. When the humidity hit 30%, off we went to a local store for a cool humidifier. This was the only one they carried, so it's what we got. If you have a very small room, or don't need much humidity, this could be a useful item. Unfortunately that wasn't our situation. Having water sitting in our sink literally raised the room humidity more than this Vicks humidifier, and running the shower for 2 minutes does a better job of raising the humidity in our apartment. As far as I can tell, unlike other humidifiers with ultra sonic motors, this one just blows air across the water. If you hold a piece of paper in front of where the fan blows for a couple minutes, it doesn't get even slightly damp. I gather it puts out a max of just over a gallon a day half of what those cute animal humidifiers from Crane do.

The stars it shone on our ceiling we really liked, btw. They change color and look pretty and relaxing.

If you need only a little bit of moisture, this might do the trick. For us, it'll have to go back.

My son loves this humidifier. We use it in the bedroom and it works great. It has 2 features that really set it apart. First, it projects stars on the ceiling which continuously change color. This is the fun part. Second, there is a slot inside where you can add a vicks mentol stick to help with congestion. It fills up the room with the menthol scent. You can turn any of these features off too. The only thing that would make it better would be if the stars could be set on a timer.

Honest reviews on Vicks Starry Night Cool Moisture Humidifier, Model V3700, 1 gal

Product worked relatively well. Powerful stream of air, easy operation, easy load/reloading water, nice starry night option. The problem is after my 3rd reload of water into the tank, 3 of the 4 tank cap's holding tab subsequently broke, however the tank cap stayed in place giving me the false impression that everything was fine. The directions clearly state, "Once the filled water tank has been placed on the unit do not move humidifier. Doing so could cause leakage and spills." Thus, I place the filled water tank onto the unit which was already on top of my coffee table. An entire gallon of water leaked all over my table, rug, hardwood floors, picture books, etc...destroying some of them. Just a terrible terrible design. The clunky humidifier I used in the 80's was more secure than this thing.

We bought this humidifier for our baby's room. We use it when he starts getting a cold and/or gets congested. Works great! I've heard of problems with humidifiers leaking or leaving a wet film on furniture. This one does neither. The starry night light and vapor pads are a nice addition as well.

It sounds silly, but the handle on the top of this space heater increases its portability tenfold. It's very light, and because it only takes one hand to move it around, I'm constantly switching it from the floor to an end table. The many different heat settings mean that you can be very picky about the heat blasting out at you.

Another feature that I find preferable is that it heats constantly, unlike some space heaters which practically light you on fire but come on only intermittently. This handy space heater stays at the temperature you choose the entire time. I've run this thing for 10 hours at a time with no ill effects. It lasted through last winter and is still going strong this winter. When I had the flu for a couple of weeks, I hunkered down on my couch with this on the coffee table and baked myself every single night for the entire night.

I adore this thing and I'm about to order another to keep in my office. (I live in a house that was built in 1825 so it can be a little drafty. Because all the rooms are small and the house is full of doors just for the purpose of trapping heat, it's more energy efficient for me to squirrel myself away in my office with the door shut and the space heater on than to crank the furnace in the entire house up.

EDIT 9/19/2013: This thing is still going strong. During the winter, my programmed thermostats turn the house temp way down, so at night I close the doors to my room and bake myself all night. This heater has never once let me down. At this point, I can't tell you how many nights it's run the entire night, 8+ hours, every night during the winter months. It still works just as great now as the day I first got it. I LOVE this heater.

I bought this heater in November 2010 from another seller. I first used it in a room that did not have a carpeted floor and it provided good heat for its size although the temperature was only about 60-degrees F so it really wasn't much of a test. At the end of the month when the temperature dropped to the 40s and 30s at night, I used the heater in a rather small 15' x 13' carpeted room and almost froze until I realized this: the heater blows its heat downward toward the floor. I was about to return it for being defective until I decided to try sitting it on a small box I had. After I put it on the box, it started heating the entire room with no problem at all even getting too hot at the highest setting. The fact that it blows downward could be a defect, but I am thinking that because this is actually a utility heater, it is made for non-carpeted rooms which helps bounce the heat around the room or keep it from igniting items directly in front of it although I could be wrong.

For the quality, this heater is very durable and sturdy. It has a very solid feel to it, with a good weight. Nor does it feel or look cheaply made. The fan sound is a bit noticeable compared to my tower heater, but it isn't loud as to hinder sleeping or watching tv. One thing about the heater is that the fan is always on high, but, in my opinion, that is good for low heat settings because it still helps distribute the heat throughout the room. The thermostat isn't digital but works very well. If the temperature is constant outside, the heater keeps the room at a fairly even temperature. And, I like the fact that I can turn the knob to exactly where I want it rather than it being set at say 5 degree increments the way my tower heater is.

This heater and all of its comparable models do use quite a bit of electricity. I have noticed that this heater will use about 36 kilowatts in a 24-hour period. That is about $4 $6 a day depending on the electric company rates.

I have used this heater every day for the past month with no problems at all other than having to sit in on a box. So, overall, I give it 4 stars. The only thing taking away is the fact that I have to sit it on the box, the slightly audible fan noise and the amount of electricity it uses. But those are all very minor, in my opinion, for the comfort it provides.

(sorry for the VERY poor video quality my little digital camera isn't exactly designed for making movies and the sound does not pick up very well either; hope you can turn up your volume and still get the gist!)

This video briefly compares the Holmes HQH307 Tower Quartz Heater, and a Dr Heater Portable Quartz + PTC Infrared Space Heater 1500W, Dual Heating System, UL Listed.**, with the spotlight on the Lasko 675945 Stanley 12-Inch Ceramic Utility Heater. While all three heaters are relatively energy efficient choices each have various strong and weak points which are discussed, but the Stanley model is a BIG winner in a small package! It costs the least and heats even a large room just about as fast and as well as my old favorite, Dr. Heater.

Important: the design of this model produces directional heat it blows on an angle towards the floor. On hard surfaces like tile or hardwood this is a huge plus for quick distribution of heat. When I use this in a carpeted area, the carpet will absorb the heat and the room takes longer to warm unless I put the heater on heat resistant surface a couple of feet above the floor like on a small end table.

Edited to add: the description states "built-in safety features, which consist of a self-regulating ceramic heating element and automatic overheat protection", but please be aware that this unit appears NOT to have a tip-over shut off feature.

The video highlights differences in features and functions of each, including demonstrating how fast and how hot each unit gets comparatively.

Uses about 36kwh per 24hrs; you can use your electric bill to find your rate to see what this unit will cost to run day to day.

No word on longevity as this is a new purchase for me. Very pleased with this item so far though and happy to recommend!

Sturdy, with a great handle, so it's easy to pick up and move around. But no turn off "tip over" switch. I almost started a fire on the carpet with this heater turned over. Most of my other space heater turn off. So do not use in a children's area, could be dangerous. It's very industrial looking but it's only looks. The output is no more than any other of its size and it pulls a LOT of electricity for the output you get. Thermostat is a joke, doesn't regulate a steady temp at all. THE WORST is the noise...IT'S THE NOISIEST HEATER I HAVE EVER HAD...and it varies with its noise, in cycles like a snoring person!...LOL...Anyways, the bottom line was the cost vs efficiency and this heater fails.

Got this for supplemental heat in my (all too often) cool office.

I chose this particular unit because it has the option of running at either 1500W (like most) or 750W. Being able to run this at a lower power means I won't be utilizing most of the line's power capability & have less of a risk of blowing the circuit breaker.

It is quiet, save a few minor 'clicks' when it cycles on/off to maintain the set temp (digital setting to an exact number, much better than a nondescript dial going from 'low' to 'high' or some equally nonsense range of 1-10).

Timer function is nice, so it can be set to go off automatically, so no need to remember to turn it off. Accuracy on the timer is a bit sketchy, though. I set it for 9 hr after I get in, & it will go anywhere from the exact time to 15-20 min sooner. Not a major issue for me.

Best Electric Infrared Heater, 6142 BtuH, 120V Deals

Customer Ratings:

For a fairly expensive space heater that promises "infrared" techonolgy, I kind of thought I was going to be toasted from head to toe. It claims it heats solid objects not the air. True, but it heats only directly in front of the heater. It has no range, or radius around the heater itself. Thus, if you are sitting in a deck chair smoking a cigar on your porch during a northest winter (which is why I bought the item), your legs will be toasty, but from the waist up you're still freezing. It needs to be coupled with the same type of item suspended from some fixture to warm your upper body.

I'm in NYC in a basement apartment and my old junky LG 10,000 unit was doing nada.. I don't know if it was broken or just junky it never got anything that cold.

Now really, 12,000 btu units are supposed to be for a small space.. 400 to 500 square feet.

As I said I am in a basement apartment and I was SWELTERING... dying!!!!!

I researched every portable air conditioner under the sun and was ready to go out and buy one but the ones in the local stores either blew out ho hum air or were not set up to try at all, and online with all of them I read a lot of people saying they didn't do much... or ho hum reviews... this was the only unit where people wrote really enthusiastic 4 or 5 star reviews. I also learned that you don't even want to MESS with unit that has no exhaust / or just a single exhaust vent. If you are going to get a portable A/C you WANT a dual vented one. One takes air in, the other sends hot air out. This is MUCH more efficient, cooler, and FASTER than no vent / single vent unit and you don't have to be emptying buckets of water either.

I'm an actor/director/editor so I have hot computers running too and there's nothing worse than going to an audition sweaty or having to edit a movie or video in 90 degree+ heat.

I decided this was the one to try but I couldn't find ANY in NYC! Can you believe that? At $490.00 amazon's price is slightly inflated but all other places that had it a little cheaper were out of stock or had ridiculous long shipping waits or high shipping charges.

When I saw this puppy in stock, I grabbed it, and with the free trial of amazon prime shipping I ordered it 2nd day, (which would have cost like $180 on this heavy beast! but I got it free) and low and behold it came the next day!! HALLELUJAH!!! Law of attraction works I tell you!

First off this is NOT a 12,000 btu uit it is 14,000 btu. 2nd it is HUGE, and fairly HEAVY, but it looks nice, like a droid from star wars and luckily it's on wheels, but when the ups guy came it looked like he was delivering a refrigerator.

Second and most importantly this thing blows REALLY cold air. Within a few minutes of turning it on I could feel the blast of air was very cold. I knew that my space is really more like 700 to 1000 sf so I set it on full blast and on 61 degrees. Within an hour it dropped from over 90 and disgustingly humid in here to a cool comfortable 69 degrees even with all my computers running. If I turn off all the computers it gets even colder faster.

CONS:

The only con is that the venting hoses (like a dryer exhaust hose) should have been a little longer. They are about. This won't be a problem for most people but if your window is high, or you have a weird tiny basement window that only opens sideways you will have to mount the dual vents vertically, and it didn't quite make it, so I had to put the unit a little higher on top a little foot stool, and I had to do some duct taping on the window to make sure it was air tight sealed. That;s not their fault though I have really weird tiny nyc basement windows.

Other than that I have no complaints and still give it 5 stars I'm very happy to be writing this in comfort rather than torture. NYC summer this year has been insane with temps hitting 105. This is an old house too and the power usage on this unit is only 10.5 amps so no blowing out the circuit breaker.

The build seems quality hopefully all is well and it will hold up performing as great as it is doing.

Also this unit is MUCH better/cooler than the newer Whynter arc-14s. Whatever they did with that unit they messed up... I was going to buy it in a store and it didn't feel so cool and the guy kept saying that that's because it was in a big space but I mean the breeze coming right out of the machine with my hand right next to it or standing right in front of it was NO where as cool as the arctic blast that shoots out of this arc-12sd machine.

I hope this review helps you out. If you have are looking for a portable AC unit I can't imagine one being better than this.

We did a lot of research before choosing this Whynter "Eco-Friendly 12,000 BTU Dual hose Portable Air Conditioner". We have an older Victorian house that does not have central air that we had been cooling with standard in window units but, with the rough winters we get, we were getting tired of moving them in and out twice a year. This portable unit does a great job and more than meets my needs. Here are my observations:

Pros -

+ Cooling Ability; this unit easily chills my 15' x 20' (300 square feet) family room

+ Compressor Noise; this is surprisingly quite, even at the highest setting

+ Size; not too intrusively large, about the size of the old upright radio we have it setting next to

+ Portable; unit is fairly heavy but it is on wheels (note that the window vent needs to move with the unit)

+ Remote Control; a handy addition with a digital display that lets you change the temperature, fan speed, and timer from across the room

+ Easy Setup; my son and I had this unboxed and running within 15 minutes of opening the box, only one Philips Head screwdriver required to attache the screws to the window vent mount

Cons -

Ugly Vent Hoses; while it can't be helped as they are needed, the white vent hoses (look like dryer vent hoses) are an eyesore when extended out and totally incongruous with any decor (we keep ours retracted as much as possible except when needing to aim the Air Conditioning output to a different room)

Misc -

*Fan Noise; this can move a lot of air and makes the expected amount of fan noise when on the highest settings

This portable unit was a good solution for my needs and we will likely be getting at least one additional unit in the near future for use our the second floor.

Highly Recommended!

Best Deals for Whynter 12,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner, Frost White

I did a lot of research, and called a bunch of local A/C shops before I bought this. They all recommended the dual hose feature they said I'd be "wasting my money" getting anything else pretty impressive, considering they sold both types and could have made money on me either way.

It's amazing. Within 20 minutes our whole bedroom (20 x 16, or 320 sq ft) is crisp and cool, and if we leave the door open it cools the hallway and the bedroom across the hallway, too.

I recommend this completely, but a few cons you may want to know just in case they're deal-breakers (in no particular order):

1) It's not quiet. However, it's not ridiculously loud, either. I can sleep through it, and I'm usually not able to sleep with much white noise. If being cool is your #1 priority (as it was for us), you can deal with the noise.

2) It's not small. We call it our R2D2 (Star Wars), as it's about the same size. We have a tall California King, and it still stands a few inches taller than the bed. Again, worth it for the cooling capacity.

3) The window install kit is small. Isn't tall enough to fit our 4' window I had our handyman rig it up using other materials he had to get at a hardware store. Without this, you really can't install it in a window much bigger than 2 or 2.5'. And no, it cannot be used unless it's installed in a window (in case you were hoping to get around that).

Honestly, you won't regret this purchase if your main concern is beating the summer heat this is a lifesaver.

Honest reviews on Whynter 12,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner, Frost White

I did a lot of research on a portable A/C unit to replace the one I've been using for the past 6 years, an 8,000 BTU Hyundai.

I'll start off with two things I wish I had known before I purchased this:

1 the water drainage pipe clearance is way too low. There's only about 1-inch clearance. The instruction booklet said to use a "plate" to remove the water, I kid you not... a plate to pour water out. Try doing that, especially at 3am at night and you might as well just save yourself time by pouring the water out directly onto your carpet. Now I'm shopping for a condensation pump and water tube that'll cost approximately $45, which is ok but you may want to factor in this cost. By the way when the water is full, it completely shuts off. I'd prefer it would leave the fan on (what my 8,000 BTU Hyundai was able to do). I live in the SF Bay Area, so I don't consider this area to be humid, but it can collect a fair amount of water in a short time. This is particularly true if you set the temperature low enough that the unit doesn't go on fan mode for a couple of hours to air out the water through the vent. My old unit drains the water into a container, which is more preferable to me. Obviously this is my biggest gripe.

2 the temperature meter light can be super bright. Granted, I do have it close to my bed, but it's like having a night light on. I like complete darkness when I sleep, so I gerry rigged it by taping a piece of paper onto it. Not the most pleasing sight, but it works.

Things I like which many reviewers have already said, so I don't need to go into detail:

1 blows cold air

2 can be loud but, because you can adjust the fan speed, lowering the fan would make it quieter

3 compared to my old unit, this is much narrower and shorter, even though it has more power / BTU

4 not super heavy

All in all, I wouldn't say I regret the purchase. I'm definitely not going to go through the hassle of boxing this up to return it. I just wish I had known about these annoyances beforehand.

I purchased this unit to alleviate the extreme heat inside of one of my rooms. This particular room housed the majority of my electronic equipment. This thing sure made a difference. After about a day of running it dropped the temperature about 20 degrees.

The only downside that I would place on this would be the window adapter. It wasn't quite wide enough to completely seal my window (it missed the mark by about 4 inches). A simple fix of a piece of wood cut to size and some duct tape fixed it up nicely though.

This heater is a marvel of engineering. Every single aspect of it was well thought out.

Super easy to install. Cut a 3 1/8" hole through the exterior wall, assemble the flue ( a remarkable piece of engineering), plumb and hook jp the gas and turn it on. That's it!

The design is such that even touching the metal after it's been operating for hours does not result in a burn

This is the second Rinnai that I have bought. We purchased this from an authorized installer. As the other review stated, the thermostat on this does not work. Further, the unit does not shut off and on properly. Moreover, it is very noisy when it comes on and off, and there is a pinging noise quite often. We have asked the installer to come back a few times who apparently has 'fixed' the item but this did not occur. We are now in winter again and we have had this just a little over a year and we are experiencing the same problems. The problem is, we are now outside the 'year' warranty and it has only been used a few short times. What a waste of $1600 with installation and purchasing the product. Rinnai is a shame and a rip off. Think long and hard before buying their products.

Best Deals for Rinnai EX11 Direct Vent Furnace Natural Gas

In order to replace a couple of outdated direct vent propane heaters, my husband bought a Rinnai ES22 for our living room and an ES11 for our bedroom. Both units have a loud fan/blower which goes on and off during use. I don't like it, but I can adjust to the noise in the living room. In the bedroom, I find the noise level unacceptable for relaxing and sleeping (and I am not a light sleeper). Making matters worse my ES11 has a pinging sound which accompanies the blower going on and off. My husband bought the units through an authorized dealer and installer in the Los Angeles area who he found on the official Rinnai website. After purchase and the units had been installed, I looked at the invoice. This individual charged us approximately 40% more for the units than they were being offered for on unauthorized Rinnai websites. This individual also charged us for "misc. parts and sealants" although there were no such items furnished (the units come with everything you need). I should also add that the authorized dealer failed to tell us when he first came to review our heating needs and give us an estimate that our existing vent holes would not match the Rinnai units. Had we known this we could have considered our options and possibly budgeted to have new vent holes cut. (I just got a $400 estimate to have one vent hole lowered seven inches.) Instead when the authorized dealer was installing the units he just took some cement pavers from our yard and jacked the units up to the height of the existing holes and left the pavers in place under the units. This looks especially lovely on the bedroom carpeting. I should also add that I had to leave before he was finished with the installation. When we came home that evening our bedroom was easily approaching 100 degrees and the unit was going full throttle. The authorized dealer had only tested to make certain the unit went on before leaving. Apparently he didn't test to make sure it would also go off. Long story short, the unit had a broken thermostat and the entire unit had to be replaced. So if you do buy one of these units, plan to be home for several hours after installation to test the unit.

This fan is great! I bought 2 more of these after I got the first one! It moves LOTS OF AIR and it's QUIET! I have owned many fans in my life. Floor fans blow air up at you, ceiling fans blow air down on you and I don't like either. I just returned an 18 inch fan because it was TOO LOUD. Don't listen to other reviews that say this fan is weak. It's not. It BLOWS LIKE THE WIND and its VERY QUIET ! Here's a trick I use > Place the fan near the air conditioner vent and aim it at you. It keeps me much cooler without having the AC up on high and wasting electric and money. Afterall, as long as I'm cool, that's cool man!

the top section is not secure so unless you will disassemble it to put it away each season like I do, you need to super glue the top portion to the stand. I got this particular model cause the steel grills are easy to clean. the back grill is plastic though.

Our place has no air conditioning and although we live in the pacific NW, it can still get really hot/humid for 3-6 weeks of the summer. After going to Home Depot, Lowes and other places I found their fans to be too expensive, especially since I needed to buy FOUR of them. I read reviews of this fan as well as other more pricier name-brand fans and I decided to take a gamble with these. Well, I am sure glad I did because I got FOUR fans for under $100 and they all work fantasticly. Yes, they are lightweight and maybe not as aesthetically pleasing as other fans out there, but it does the job. They have 3 different levels and the air output is definitely significant. I would highly recommend.

Not the sturdiest fan. Comes apart easily whether you want it to or not. Not a lot of air flow. You get what you pay for. I suggest paying more.

I installed this unit four weeks ago for the first time, I had ordered it late last year trying to get an apartment ready for my daughter. Installation per the instructions went very well and the unit began to cool the 750sqft apartment quite well in the Economy mode.

In less than two weeks, the unit quit working. The fan will blow however the compressor will not kick in or cool. I have had the wiring checked by an electrician and know there is no problem with the power to the unit. I am now faced with shipping this 120 pound item back to the factory at a cost of in excess of $150 if I want to have any warranty consideration. Not something I had hoped I would need to do with less than a month of use.

What has happened to quality with product today?

Update, 8 months later.

The factory sent me a brand new unit after I returned only the plug. It has performed well since that time thru the entire summer in Dallas Texas with temps in excess of 100 for several days. So far this winter the heater portion of the unit has worked equally well.

Based upon the new unit, I would increase my rating to at least 4 stars.

Thank you.

I can't stand Soleus products. Get you a G.E. or Frigidare. Stay away from this company! I have had 3 products from them and all of them have failed within a year or two.

My husband and I bought this about a year or so ago from another store. The heat it produces is minimal and you cannot feel the coolness of the fan at all. It quickly broke down and began to short out. The only positive quality it had was its range of oscillation.

I deducted two stars for the noise it makes. When I first got it, it seemed very quiet but as the winter wore on it got noisey and I like to sleep with white noise in the background like a fan but this we couldn't leave on while we were sleeping because it was irritating.

The remote was handy, it heats well and the shape is perfect for limited space and it really does make our downstairs bedroom comfortable.

If you don't mind it being a bit loud then you will enjoy this heater.

Okay, I've been in your shoes. You are stopping by Amazon to read reviews before heading off to the local grocery super-store. The Oster dehydrator has terrible reviews online, but it happens to be the only model the super-store carries. You are so excited to try dehydrating your summer veggies that you want to chance it. After all, only a dozen people gave it a bad rating, surely they only had bad eggs. If a company is selling a product, surely it went through testing!

Stop right there. Don't do it. Learn from my mistake and save yourself time, energy, and hard earned cash.

Upon arriving home from the super-store, I excitedly took my new dehydrating friend out of its box. This next part is my faultI should have tested the unit before slicing my veggies, but I did not. I happily arranged my zucchini on the trays, set the machine on the counter, and plugged it in. The light turned on, but everything was oddly quiet. Just like in the reviews online, the fan did not operate. Undeterred, I called Oster customer service. The helpful representative told me that the fan makes a "very noticeable" noise when functioning. The silence meant nothing at all was happening. She advised that I return it to the store.

Next, I cleaned and repackaged the product. Thankfully I still had my receipt and made my return. The next day, I went to another store and picked up a different brandNesco. The Nesco was similar in price, but had more features. It has an adjustable temperature and the heating unit is on top, making it easier to maintain and clean. The Nesco is quiet and efficient. Most importantly, it works.

Walk away from the Oster. Trust the reviewers online and buy another model. I wasted was lured in by false hopes and advertising, but it's not too late to save yourself.

If you are looking for a dehydrator to use just a couple time a year, then this one would be great. It is cheap and it gets the job done. I, personally, should have spent the extra $20 to get a Nesco. This one is VERY LOUD when running. Also, the slots in the trays are quite large. So far most every thing I have chopped up has fallen through the trays while drying. This dehydrator has no temperature control either; depending on your goals, this may or may not matter.

I love this dehydrator; we actually bought two of them to keep up with the demand for crispy apple chips. Today the oldest one (was Christmas gift) started shutting off by itself, that is the fan stopped running. The older one which is a couple weeks old started last week to shut off. My husband returned it and got a replacement. I set it up this morning and the fan shut off within and hour after I started it. I have seen one other query regarding the fans shutting off. I would consider this a perfect appliance for the money if only I could find out how to fix the fan issue.

We tried using different electrical outlets but it didn't make any difference.

I bought this dehydrator because I wanted to bring jerky with me for a high protein, on-the-go snack at work and other places. I'm not sure why so many people are having as many problems with this machine as they are. Maybe there are a lot of "lemons" in the bunch, but I have had no problems with mine. Maybe I'm one of the lucky few, or maybe people are doing something wrong which causes the machine to fail. I've only used it for batches of jerky, but that's all I wanted it for. Many people have said that it stops and starts up again after a while, but I would guess they have overfilled the trays and the machine is possible heating up too much so shutting down for a while is a safety mechanism. Mine just goes, but I leave quite a bit of room between pieces of jerky so that there is plenty of room for the air to circulate. I have not had it stop once during drying. If you follow the directions it is fairly clear that you need to leave space between pieces. I have not done more than about 2 1/2 lbs of meat at a time so that there is plenty of space for circulation. That seems to be a good amount, and it gives me plenty of jerky for a while. I think you've gotta realize what you are getting before you start griping about the machine. This is an entry level, cheap dehydrator at best that you can get at Wal-Mart. If you are expecting top of the line quality and features, you're kidding yourself. If you want all the bells and whistles, you're gonna pay a lot more for them. It would be nice if it had a timer to turn it off automatically, but again, you get what you pay for and I chose to get a cheaper dehydrator that does not have that option, and really it has not been amuch of an issue. Size-wise, it's about 14 inches across and about 10 inches tall so not that big, and it's not as if I leave it on the counter when it's not in use. I've read a lot of reviews of people complaining about it sounding like a "jet engine". If you think it sounds like a jet engine, I would suggest you've never heard a jet engine. Mine sounds like a fan, a little louder than a regular desk fan but quieter than a floor box fan. That's what it is basically, a fan with a heating mechanism and some trays. I can easily tune it out and so can my wife. Sound has not been an issue for us. All in all, if what you're looking for is a simple to use dehydrator that has no bells and whistles and is cheap, this may be the one for you. Follow the included instructions, and I would guess you'll be fine. Like I mentioned before, maybe there are some bad ones out there, but I have had no problems with mine.

Just bought one of these last week. Dehydrated a batch for less than 3 hours. Went to use it again this week, turned it on and went to working on other things. Walked by it a few minutes later and noticed the fan had stopped running. The light was still on indicating it was getting power, but no fan. Disappointing and expensive for one use and not worth the hassle.
