This is a great product and I would recommend for anyone looking to heat a space locally rather than dialing up the theromstat and heating the whole house. It is great during the winter months and I am sure we will see a difference in our heating costs when we use it!

My wife an I like to enjoy a glass of wine by the fire. Previously we lived in an area where we could have a real fire and just relax. We recently moved to a restricted area where we could not burn wood. We purchased this pit because it was the largest of the portable units (most camp areas around here have burn bans during summer droughts). We were pleasantly surprised at the inital quality of the unit (only time will tell on actual quality) The paint has a thick enduring feel and the weight seems substantial.

We have so far found that on a mid 60*F night we only turn the pit on less than half way. At full tilt it is more than a comfortable temperature.

Our only complaint is that the images are clearly photshopped. The flames that we get at full are about a foot tall. We do not get any of the two foot flames that are pictured. the flames are proportional to the size and more than adequate for us. I will post pictures when we fire it up this weekend.

I purchased one of these portable outdoor fire pits and love it. I use it on my patio in Pacific Northwest evenings and it's always the center of attention. My friends and family love it because we always end up outside longer than usual. Setup and teardown is quick and easy. The rocks that come with the unit cool down very quickly I can box it up 10 minutes after turning it off. It pumps out heat (way more than I expected), and 1/2 a standard size propane tank lasted for multiple hours at the highest flame setting. There is zero odor or smoke it's very clean burning. The hose length is more than ample to keep the propane tank a safe distance from the flame, and out of the way of chairs to surround the fire. I can without hesitation recommend this product.

We recieved this fire pit a few days ago and we love it! We have had fire restrictions since June 18 in our area for open campfires. A friend of ours got a similar product, but we decided on this one instead of one like theirs. We are so glad we did. There is very little odor (if any} from the propane burning.(and I could smell theirs) It is great not to have any smoke to run from! We have been burning it on the lowest setting and it is perfect for us. I'm sure when it gets colder we will want to turn it up some, but it still puts out good heat on low. If you are just a few feet away it really looks just like a wood campfire burning. We would recommend this fire pit to anyone wanting an alternative to the wood campfire.

Honest reviews on Heininger Outland 5995 58,000 BTU Portable Propane Outdoor Fire Pit

We've tried a few different wood fire bowls and friend's houses and always came away smelling like a chimney. We considered getting a chiminea as well, but those can be finicky and take up a lot of space. This propane fire bowl seemed an ideal solution and after breaking it out during a recent snow storm, we're pretty satisfied.

As another reviewer stated the bowl is actually black, and not the polished bronze that's pictured. They really need to fix the picture. While it didn't make a difference for me, I'm sure some people care more about their decor than I do. It's also smaller than a comparable wood fire bowl. The pictures lack context so this is hard to discern, but it may be a good bit smaller than you expect. Great for portability, but I wouldn't try to get more than 4-5 people around it.

The bowl assembled very quickly and within 10min or so I had it hooked-up to my extra propane tank and away we went. There doesn't seem to be a great deal of difference in terms of flame size between the High and Low settings (neither came close the picture), but either way it puts off a good amount of heat without all the nasty smoke and there is a discernable flame, which is nice.

So far we're happy with the purchase. We'll see if it stands the test of time. Would give it 5 stars, but the wrong bowl color and somewhat misleading flame in the picture and I'll call it a solid 4.

Received this a few days ago at a vacation home in Jackson Hole.

Set up was a breeze. It appears to be well made and the metal is reasonably thick. burner control is nice, reminds me of a Weber. A big feature that should be included (but is not) is an ignitor! Bending over with a lighter or match is a little awkward and did put my bearded mug a little too close to the initial flames in my opinion.

We have a bulk LP tank with a quick connect for our existing BBQ so I ordered an extension hose with quick connect end, removed the LP hose that came attached to this unit, attached the quick connect an voila! a nearly unlimited supply...though I suspect without some diligence our gas bill could be hefty.

Unit is sitting on a wooden deck which was a concern for me. The wood below the fire bowl is slightly warm to the touch after burning on high for about an hour. The appears to be about 3" of clearance which doesn't sound like much but seems to allow any radiated heat to dissipate.

Another complaint is the color. It appears to be brownish or perhaps rust online. The unit arrived black.

Sitting here below the Tetons as the sun sets this unit is keeping the chill at bay.

very simple steam humidifier. You should be aware of the types of humidifier and not be suprised at the hot steam and potential of accidental burns. If you have small child, you should not own this.

Pros:

Steam= no white dusts, no filters to change, bacterias are "boiled" off.

Stylish= no toy looking controls, no clear blue medical looking canisters

auto shut off when water is depleted

cons:

All plastic material shell(including the feet): now, I'm not sure if the outshell being metal is a good thing. It can potentially be a metal toaster oven if its made out of metal. Plastic does have a certain smell.. if you ever used a plastic electric water boiler, it smells just like that.

Designed in Swiss but made in China: don't be fooled by the swiss style design, this baby is geniue made in china.

The plastic chute is extremely hot, you can't touch that thing while the steamer is operating. Have to be careful.

Price: You are paying for the style, not functionality.

conclusion: only good if you want a steamer type humidifier and are turned off by cheap looking Vicks style steamer.

I don't write reviews often, but am really upset that I wasted so much money on this humidifier. My husband got this for me because I have frequent nose bleeds from the dry air. We used it for one week and was pleased with it because it was so quiet. I didn't like the hassle of having to take it apart daily to refill the water, but put up with it because it was cute. On the eighth day, I tried to turn it on but it wouldn't work. At all. The little blue light didn't even turn on. I took it apart and found a bunch of calcified deposits. The company states that it wasn't covered under the warranty because the instructions state that it should be "cleaned often." We had only used it for one week. Only buy this product if you are willing to take it apart and clean it almost daily (waste of time) because this poorly constructed piece of equipment is otherwise a huge waste of money. On a side note, we bought another product from them, the Max space heater. Although it still works, it doesn't work very well unless you're sitting about a foot away from it. We got another space heater that was about the same price and works infinitely better. I'm through with their products.

I bought this humidifier several years ago mainly because it was the only humidifier I ran across that didn't look like some big, plastic, medical equipment. It has work really well. The design is great! Super easy to fill and clean without a ton of parts. While it doesn't recede completely, it is at least whimsical and fun and like all Swizz designs, elegant and clean.

Honest reviews on FRED Humidifier - Silver

If you are looking for a relatively basic but very stylish humidifier, Fred is the perfect choice. Fred is warm air humidifier with a few basic buttons which glow a futuristic blue at night. Most humidifies in this price range have more functions and larger water tanks, but look designed for a drab hospital. Although made of plastic, Fred feels very sturdy and solid. As far as humidifiers go, it looks cool. You won't need to hide it.The only complaint is the water container only last for 4 hours on high and 8 hours on low.

I wanted this humidifier forever and was so excited when it arrived!

Very first night i used it the lid filled up with condensation then poured out the bottom onto my dresser. Took it apart, dried it out and planned to try one more time with a towel under it. No go, its completely dead & wont even power on.

Its very cute, but not even as functional as a vase because it leaks. For what it costs thats completely unnaceptable.

Great concept, however the biggest flaw is the thermostat. The unit itself comes packaged well and is very easy to install. They even include a drill bit for the correct size holes needed for the wall anchors. I have this installed exactly as instructed in our baby's room. We wanted to keep the temperature in the room at exactly 74 degrees. The heater's thermostat is not accurate to even 2 degrees. Best bet is to get the non-digital thermostat version and buy the Lux wall plug thermostat.

Very easy to install and does a very good job to turrn a normally cold room into one that is very comfortable. The only downside is the thermometer. It seems to do the job of getting hotter as the number goes up, but the actual use of it to serve as a thermostat for the room is not so great. I might consider an external thermostat for my next version instead of it being built in. Overall, a good heating solution for a small to medium sized room.

This is a very elegant heater for small spaces. It's a nice matt white finish out of the box, and the textured ceramic finish is paintable. I bought this to replace the TERRIBLE Envi 220V heater a customer had me install (malfunctioned, right out of the box; customer service wouldn't accept the return without the box, nor pay return shipping in any case). The finish appearance, installation process, and the fact that the thing worked, were all refreshing improvements over the Envi heater. I was able to convert my 220V hard-wired connection to a shallow-wiremold surface mount 120V duplex receptacle on a 15A GFCI circuit breaker. At only 400W, there's no need for 220V for this type of heater, anyway. Now, the customer gets an extra GFCI receptacle socket so they could shave and use a hair dryer at the same time, if they wanted!

The installation in wall-board or flat masonry walls was very straightforward using the supplied integrated-standoff-and-wall-anchor device.

Single-use anchor/standoffs could be a problem for some users / applications

Should you be mounting to a wood wall (maybe you shouldn't, due to heat or potential malfunction and fire?) or some other material that does not support an expanding plastic anchor fastening method, you may be out of luck. Also, measure three times before drilling for the anchors (masonry bit supplied) or installing them, since the unit ships with only the 4 you will need, and you won't find anything that will work as a substitute at the hardware store. Don't lose, use in the wrong location, or break these anchor/standoffs!

Thermostat defaults to 72 whenever power is cycled off and back on.

The integrated logic-controlled thermostat seems to work well, although it does not remember the user setting after cycling the power off; it defaults to 72 degrees Fahrenheit as the set temperature when turned back on. Setting memory would be nice in case you want to operate it through a wall-receptacle timer device. 72 is not too bad a default setting, but users may wish they had more options to set their own target for when the timer turns the unit on again after down time.

Not for use in bathrooms?

The instructions state that the unit is "not intended for use in bathrooms or other areas where users could be in contact with water while operating the unit". I presume the manufacturers don't trust your existing receptacle to be GFCI-protected (many older bathroom, laundry, kitchen and basement receptacles are standard type where they should be GFCI-protected due to the likelihood people may be solidly grounded to water pipes or wet masonry floors while contacting the receptacle device, it's cover, or a cord-connected appliance that has a dangerous ground-fault. I consider that when connected to a GFCI in a plumbed location like a bathroom, the T400 U unit should be safe to operate.

No smells. The company changed the material and the mat does not emit any odors at all.

I use this mat daily with the accessory Hi Lo switch on Lo. It's on all day long and has been a great product.

I hope that the older reviews won't scare new customers away.

Update Sept. 28, 2011: I have had this mat for over a year now, no smells, and it works great. No smells!!!!!

Update Oct. 3, 2011: just bought a second mat for a co-worker. Be sure to buy the high low switch if you want to use the mat barefoot or in socks, because high is hot, but low is just right for socks.

I bought this last winter (2004), despite the many reviews warning about the odor emitted, and boy, do I regret it! I thought I could tough it out; most people said the horrible skunk smell would GO AWAY after some time, and, to me, warm feet would be worth a temporary annoyance. As some have suggested, I plugged this in the garage first, to try to burn off much of the odor before bringing it inside. I left it plugged in a large part of the day for about two weeks. The smell was definitely horrible, but I guess because our garage is very large, and far from airtight, the full extent of the noxious odor was not obvious, until I moved it into the office. In just a few minutes, the entire HOUSE smelled like a charred skunk. But it was more than a smell, it was a TASTE as well, and we coughed quite a bit if we tried to stay in the office with it, and I got a horrible headace. I turned it off and decided to give it another week in the garage, this time I left it plugged in all the time. The second try in the office was JUST as bad as the first, and at this point the mat had been "burning off" its smell for over 3 weeks! I stubbornly left the mat in the office for a week, forcing myself to use it, trying to adjust to or ignore the skunk that was attacking my nose with every breath. After all, it REALLY DID keep my feet nice and toasty warm. Finally I'd had it, I couldn't take it anymore. The headaches and permeating odor were simply not worth it. I took the thing and threw it in the garage, unplugged, where it remains to this day. I only wish I had been realistic and sent the thing back when I had the chance. It is an absolute nightmare. By the way, the reason I thought to write this review today is because when I sat down at my desk I was reminded of this mat , as I am every day, because I smelled the lingering, embedded stink of burning SKUNK that it left behind. And this is October 2005, nearly a year later and several carpet cleanings and after it briefly occupied this space. Does it warm your feet? Definitely. But you've been warned, it isn't worth it!

This product must be "baked" outside in the sun, plugged in, for about one week. The reason is that the rubber compound emits an obnoxious odor for the first few days of use. I would not recommend it for a foot warmer inside a confined area. My intended use is as a boot drier in the garage. Do not purchase this product if you are sensitive to chemical odors from plasticizers and rubber.

Have you ever seen that Seinfeld where Jerry's car is attacked by BO that doesn't go away, and lingers on anything that crosses its path? This has the same disease.

In its defense, it *does* work my terminally cold wife liked the warm footsy feel; unfortunately she has a sense of smell. The room we had it in is still stinky! Get this thing outta our house!!! :)

I keep it in my bathroom; well away from water of course. It heats up the space when I shower in the morning during the cooler months. It does not use very much electricity, heats up a small room quickly and prevents me from turning up the heat for the entire house! Well worth the price, keep the dust cleaned off of the back of the heater.

The heaters are relatively inexpensive and very compact. Overall, I think they are worth the money. The only complaint with the unit is that, unlike a lot of others I've had, it doesn't automatically shut off upon tipping. The manual says it will shut off if tipped, but it isn't immediate. Would prefer to see that safety feature improved, however I may be missing something. The unit remains cool on the outside and presents less hazard in a lot of ways to others, so a plus there.

The heater pictured is different from one I ordered and recieved. I think I got a newer model, I had the one pictured for several years and it worked fine. The one I recieved does not work on all settings, only low. It worked fine when I first got it and now after a few weeks it does not. I use it in my office and it is quite and would be fine if it worked and didnt shut off on some settings. Not sure if I just dot a defective heater.

Honest reviews on Holmes HFH105-UM Compact Heater Fan with Adjustable Thermostat

This little, inexpensive heater puts out a fair amount of heat for its size. I used mine to heat my motorcoach (about the size of a small apartment) and it performed really well. The fan was quiet (like white noise) which, at bedtime, was quite soothing. Unfortunately, the pedestal base is inadequate for this fan. Mine tipped over too many times to count, and was very unstable (tipping over at the slightest vibration). To make matters worse, there was no safety cutoff. If the fan tipped over, I had to be Mr. Johnny-on-the-spot and right it before it burned a hole in my carpet. The last time it tipped over, it took me about 10 seconds to get to it. By the time I righted the unit, the motor had burned out and died. No smoke, just dead. I took it apart to fix it, but it is unfixable. It's a powerful, efficient heater, but the design sucks. I will be buying another one of these (assuming the company doesn't swap it out for a different model, like one commenter stated), and I will be reinforcing the pedestal so the dumb thing doesn't tip over. I've tried a lot of heaters, and for the low price, this thing is a gem -just be sure to nail it to the floor!

It doesn't have a thermostat. I don't know where they got that idea from. I only needed a heater for a couple of months and this was on clearance at Target for $3.50 so I thought I'd give it a try. It'll heat up a room....eventually. And it's very loud, even though it's so small. I have to turn my tv up two times as high as usual when the heater's on.

I got this unit right around Christmas for a great price from Amazon. It is multipurpose fuel ready, so instead of paying out the nose for Kerosene, I've been using diesel fuel in it, and it works just beautifully.

My old kerosene heater stopped working and I needed a replacement quickly. I saw this unit on sale for a great price so I decided to wait the extra few days for shipping rather than going to the store the same day. My old heater was 60,000 BTU and I paid $180 12 years ago. I had built a wooden stand for it so I could wheel it around my shop. First, this new unit is the exact size as my old one so it fit in the stand perfectly. Second, this unit is 75,000 BTU and I paid less than my old one. Third, it has an on/off switch and a thermostat, unlike my old one. And fourth, it starts up immediately. My old one took awhile I wasn't always sure if it were going to start or not. I couldn't be more please with it.

I needed a heater and called to rent one. I needed it for three days and found out the rental place charged $32 a day to rent. I was pressed for time because it was Tuesday and I desperately needed one for the up coming weekend. They informed me that they rented on a first come first serve basis, therefore there could be a chance I might not be able to get one anyway. I searched on-line to find one that was affordable and found this one on Amazon. The price of the heater was what it would cost me to rent one for three days. After reading the reviews of how quickly others who ordered one got their heater, I decided to give the company a try. I ordered it that Tuesday, and when Friday afternoon came (2:30 PM when it was time for me to go to work)it wasn't here. I went to work disappointed. When I returned home at 3AM there was a note on my front door informing that the heater was sitting on the side of my house hidden behind the garbage cans. Needless to say, I was over joyed. Not only was I able to complete my project over the weekend, it keep my garage at the temperature I needed for 10 hours straight on one tank of kerosene. I highly recommend this heater, and this company. RIGHT ON TIME!!!

Duraflame Roasting Logs 6-Pack 5LB Firelog Bundles
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I have used the regular Duraflame logs for years in fireplaces (crackle logs, color logs,...). When I was younger, I used to burn 2 or three at a time to get a really big fire going, it was a pretty expensive habit. I just tried these by accident since this was the only type of logs in a box left at Giant. Now that I have kids, a mortgage, you get it, at roughly 6 dollars a log I do think about the cost. I like Duraflame because they burn clean, don't introduce termites and other bugs, and get the job done.

Here is what I really like about these logs. If you burn four of them, basically a bundle, the fire is huge as in "I hope my fireplace is up for this" huge. It will impress. The fire puts out a lot of heat. Much more then the standard 5 lb log but not as long. It burns stronger and faster. The bigger longs burn slower, but really sort of die down after an hour and a half. Theses are about done at that time, but you got a much bigger fire. The big news is that if you burn one at a time you still get a nice fire two and you get basically the same fire as the 5 lb logs just for a shorter time frame. So basically, you get more fires per set if you live with shorter flame life or the need to put more logs on. The added bonus of cooking marshmallows just makes it all that much better.

The fact they they are done faster means you can clean up faster too. This is especially true if you let the fire burn out and don't use water to kill the fire. If you want a longer fire just put another log on, there is just more control.

I will buy these over the standard logs in the future because they are simply more fun and manageable. I highly recommend them and Duraflame products in general. In twenty years, I have never had a problem with their products.

I was hesitant about ordering these as I had foolishly purchased another brand of fire log to use in our new outdoor fire pit and discovered that they could not be used to roast marshmallows over. I was remiss in not checking the other fire log packaging where it did mention not to use in a barbecue setting. Of course I discovered this only after we cooked marshmallows over it and it made them taste like they'd been dipped in chemicals blech.

Well, the only reason our fire pit exists is to make s'mores and roast marshmallows! I was happy to have found these and ally hoped they would fit the bill. We have had two fires using the logs so far and are quite satisfied.

The "logs" come in 5lb packs, each pack contains 4 12"L x 4"W (approximate) "sticks". Each stick lasted about 45 minutes or so for us. A perfect length of time for our two children to roast their marshmallows. The entire package says it lasts about 2 hours however we got quite a bit longer than that out of them. It is wonderful to be able to use only what we needed to and be able to save the rest. There was a slight odor of charcoal and almost no smoke. It definitely does not bother my sinuses or eyes nearly as much as a regular wood fire does. It put out a good amount of heat as well. One trick when lighting the "sticks" is to use only one or two at a time and add more as you need them and light both ends well and be patient. Also, you do not need any other fuel with these. If you add wood it will smoke and smell like a regular fire. Not bad but wholly unnecessary. It leaves no more ash behind than a regular wood fire however, we did make sure to soak it thoroughly with water before going inside. The other 3-hour fire logs we purchased stayed hot for many hours after we had soaked it and that made us nervous. We had read of people seeing them re light even days after they were supposedly put out. These individually packaged "sticks" are small enough that they don't hold the heat after a good soaking. If you want the ease of use and convenience of fire logs and you want to be able to eat the food you cook over it without poisoning yourself these are definitely the way to go!

Tried a few different firestarters for my living room fire place. These heat up very quickly which gets my chimney cooking and the result is very little to no smoke in the house when starting a fire (I use these to start a few real logs and they work consistently well though not recommended unless you know what you are doing, stick around incase anything pops out of the fireplace (or use a grate). My wife and I love em, will buy them again and again (when they are priced around 30-35 a box), over that its cheaper just to get them from the grocery store.

Honest reviews on Duraflame Roasting Logs 6-Pack 5LB Firelog Bundles

This was great. I lived in an apartment when I got this and it was nice to have something handy and not as overpriced as some of the other products out there. The "logs" are actually several pieces so you can have shorter burning if you want.

I actually use these in my pizza oven (as an aid to get the "real" wood started. It works well and quickens the process of getting the fire started and keeping it going.

I was heating my bedroom up before I went to bed. I always make sure there is nothing ever around or the heater when it is on. When I went in, the room was cloudy with smoke. I immediately unplugged it and felt the area around the outlet and the cord. They were both cool. I didn't understand how my room almost went into flames until my hands felt the bottom of the heater. I unscrewed the bottom to see that were melting and burnt. I bought this heater fall of 07. It's Oct. 28 and I am returning it. Please do not buy this heater! It is not safe. I'm sure this has happened before and people probably do not take the time to report. I am! Good luck to whom ever purchases this.

This is a great item if you want to get started with making your own Kombucha. It contains all the things you need including clear instructions and support from KKamp. Once I started with this, I regularly bottle 8 16oz bottles every three or four days. Its effortless, and because you can fill bottles right from the spout, it's even easier.

It was fairly easy to put together, you just need a screw driver to bolt the legs, but the trickiest part to me was the spout. Once I figured it out it was a snap.

Do get this kit if you can, the heater was very helpful starting mine in March in California. It can be pretty cold that time of the year. The only thing I would change if I could would be to upgrade to a heater with a thermostat. I have to plug and unplug with the weather changes.

You won't be disappointed with this great combo.

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

Gives out nice warm glowing heat. Shows more flame (safely) than the Sengoku OR -77 I have also used. Also I've found I can start it up inside the house with minimum smell. ( all kero heaters give off some smell when lighting and putting out) Real cozy feel, perfect for my small living room on a cold winter night. Although I have to pay an outrageous 5.69$ per gallon for kero here on eastern Long Island, New York I still love using it. And it does not smell at all. Repeat to your wife, husband, relativeskerosene heaters when working properly give off no smell!

Got this heater from Truvalue Hardware Jan 2013 and there is something wrong with the heater. After it warms up in about 6 minutes, the flame is very uneven and huge. The flame goes up the back of the glass and covers the top of the burn chamber. By holding the wick release lever and backing off on the adjustment knob I can get the flame to reduce, however is uneven. In the front it will be 1/2 inch and in the back 3 inch. It is annoying.

I had a friend purchase this heater for me. I must say that it is the BEST little heater I have ever owned. The owners manual says to use 1k clear kerosene. I used the 1k clear and worked great, but I ran out of the clear I dry burned the wick and put in red kerosene. The flame is now more uniform and puts out WAY more heat than it did with the clear. I get the red kerosene from a gas station named SHELL OIL. If you get GOOD quality red the heater will exceed your expectations. Alot of people say that the wick adjusted doesn't give enough slack to back off flame to regulate the flame but my heater does. I dry burn the wick after every 4 tanks of fuel to keep wick soft and carbon free. There is only odor when first starting and shutting down the heater. But I have completely eliminated odors by buying a catalytic filter from Miles Stair Wick Shop, they are less than $10. The filter is suspended by 3 stainless steel wires that you suspend about 4 inches above the heater chimney. This convection heater is FAR better than ANY radiant heater on the market. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED WITH THIS HEATER !!!!.

The Bon Home Heat Lamp is not worth your time. We wanted this to work so badly because we have pizza parties quite often and thought this would make a great addition to those. Didn't heat up even enough to be hot on my hand. And the unit kept tipping forward when we adjusted the light angle/distance from food. I do not recommend this produt.

As a previous 3-star reviewer said, a majority of the 5-star reviews are questionable. Most of them have no other reviews but a single review for this heat lamp. I purchased this heat lamp regardless of my skepticism and the heat generated is no more than a 60 watt light bulb. My plan was to keep a Turkey warm for the night. This lamp has no impact. I'm returning tomorrow.

This heat lamp consumes 200w but most of the energy is convection (heat the air around it) and conduction (heat by contact). There is very little infrared heat which can be focused by the parabola in the forward direction. As a result you must use it at no more than ten inches away. So you can keep warm a very small dish of food. There is a lot of heat in the form of hot air escaping thru the vents on top and the "cup" like shield gets very hot.

On the other hand, you can use this heat lamp as a very small room heater if your electrical wiring cannot handle a regular full size 1200-1500w heater.

Honest reviews on Bon Home HL100SV Culinary Heat Lamp

I've been buying stuff on Amazon.com for 4+ years. This is the first product that compelled me to write a review.

This product sucks and there is no way to avoid that with product liability lawyers involved. The R&D engineers likely started out with a good intentions, but they got slapped down by the lawyers. The manufacturer was forced to diminish the heat output / fire causing potential to the point that this product is virtually worthless.

If you angle the lamp so that the upper arm is completely horizontal you will get an 8" 9" heated area below. I had the lamp on for 45 minutes and it never gets that hot. The high angle shown in the advertisement won't heat up anything except the air directly around the heating element. You could get your food hotter using a cheap plastic handheld hair dryer from a drugstore.

If you want something to keep your pre-cooked chicken wings slightly hot for your drunken friends this thing may do the trick if they are drunk enough. If your guests aren't drunk, forget about it.

UPDATE April, 23 2013: I can't believe that people are still buying this product. STOP IT, IT'S JUNK. If you are hell bent on giving away your money for nothing in return, send it to me. I will send you a nice thank you letter than will give you a warm fuzzy feeling. My letter will give you more warmth than this piece of crap.

I am a corporate chef and bought six of these to keep pizzas warm from the time they came hot out of oven until purchase (normally under 4 minutes). Five of the six didn't work. I couldn't get them to turn on / stay on. What they don't mention in the product descriptioin is that while the light is adjustable it only operates at a limited angle too much of a bend in it and it shuts off automatically. We are not talking about a lot of bend here just a couple inches. The one that did manage to stay on couldn't even keep a piping hot pizza warm for the smallest amount of time.

There is no "glow" coming off them as depicted in the photo. They look like desk lamps but probably don't work as well. I have never return anything and have never written a review before but after this major flub I feel I have to. Save your money and your time and SKIP this product. I read the bad reviews here and was forewarned but there were also some good reviews so I went for it. Don't.
