Reviews of Soleus Air PH4-13R-01 13,000 BTU Evaporative Portable Air

Customer Ratings:

I did extensive research before purchasing my portable air conditioner. Thanks to some reviewers I learned that having a dual hose is key, as a double and contrary pressure inside one hose could create problems in the future (the AC pulls air from outside and releases air from the room, it's a double process get a dual hose). So I searched for a dual hose as a pre-requisite and the only one I found on Amazon was this 13,000 btu Soleus. Even though the room I needed it for was a relatively small bedroom, I went for this item. And I'm so happy I did!

The machine is really big, really huge, and extremely heavy. But pretty good looking, with a great design. Packaging was large and bulk, and it traveled a long way to where I am. The side panels were a bit damaged from shipping and handling and I hoped it wouldn't be a problem, so far not a problem.

There is nothing portable about it. Besides its heavy weight, once you install the window kit, the last thing you want is to keep moving it around and compromise a good installation.

I did not receive one of the accessories, the sliding panel, and the instructional dvd and manual showed that this was necessary for installing the AC on my window, but we figured it out in the end with what we had. My window is a horizontal sliding window. I adapted two of the panels I had (one with two exhaust hose openings and one with no openings) to one end of the window, mending the two to cover the entire vertical length. Attaching the exhaust hoses was really easy, all I had to do was make sure that the window kit was well screwed in my window, to hold, and then stretch the hoses and attach them to the AC unit.

When I plugged it in and turned it on it sounded like I had a plane's engine right inside my room. It was so loud! Later I grew used to it and now it doesn't bother me anymore, in fact, it helps, because it simply eliminates any other noises you might have from outside.

The first night after about three hours the AC mode simply shut off and it went into fan mode. A red light was on, indicating that the condensate holding tank was full. I couldn't believe this, since it had been on for only three hours! So I fit a small tray from my toaster oven under the drain plug and discarded all the water that came out of it.

The second night, we figured we should just leave the drain plug open and the toaster oven tray under it. We woke up to a flooded room, as the tray is barely enough to hold so much water.

Since the drain plug is so near the floor, the only solution was to put the AC on top of a low coffee table, which in fact, shortened the length of the exhaust hoses, optimizing the overall cooling capacity, as one of the hoses gets pretty warm and the longer the hose, the harder the AC will have to work to cool the air around it.

Now we have it all set. Our AC sits on top of a coffee table, with a bucket behind it and the tiny hose that came with it attached to the drain plug. The drain plug is always open, and the water that comes out of the unit simply fills the bucket to about 1/3, it is so much water! But the AC mode never shuts off anymore, and you get some healthy humidifying from having a bucket full of water in the bedroom and the hoses are less stretched, ensuring better cooling.

So far, so good! The AC does an excellent job of cooling the room and I absolutely love it!

I purchased this unit in July 2008 and I have had nothing but problems with it. The Soleus support line is always busy, and when you do get someone, they look for an answer and never call back. My front panel to control the unit does not work, and I have tried to get Soleus to replace the panel, with no luck. I have to use the remote control to use the A/C. Around 2 years of service, and the unit started leaking water. It appears the drain line for the unit is not placed far enough back, and so the water pan just drips out of the unit, right onto the floor. You can pay to have the unit shipped back and repaired they said, but the minimum charge is $150 plus shipping charges. Don't waste your money!

This thing does not evaporate well, still have to empty the tray every other day. But it does not flood your floor it shuts off when full.

As for heating this unit is completely useless. A $50 ceramic unit will heat better than this heat pump.

Don't bother buying if your temp outside goes below 40 this unit will not heat to keep even 65. (This was heating a room around 250 sq ft)

Overpriced air conditioner.

Honest reviews on Soleus Air PH4-13R-01 13,000 BTU Evaporative Portable Air

I actually purchased Soleus Air PH4-13R-01 13,000 BTU Evaporative Portable Air Conditioner, 13,000 BTU Heater, Dehumidifier and Fan locally as the ones sold on Amazon are getting poor reviews, but mine shoots out 61°F cold air 24/7 and never leaks or needs to be drained although we are having the most humid summer I can ever remember. A favorite 2012 purchase which I would have purchased on Amazon were it not for all the bad reviews there.

UPDATE OCT 21, 2012 This A/C ran 24/7 up until about a week ago when it finally cooled off and never once did it leak or need to be drained. I am extremely happy with my Soleus Air PH4-13R-01!

UPDATE JUNE 30, 2013 It was very humid here and I ran this 24hours straight more for the humidity than for the heat at 61°F and it did not leak once. I have it set up to exhaust to the outside and intake inside air as my home is loose. Also I like having it set up next to the entry way window as that way I can use floor fans to direct the air up to 30feet into the room(s) I want. This weighs 80lbs so you really don't want to be moving it all the time. I am very thrilled with this portable A/C, dehumidifier, heater, and fan. I have used it as a heater during the winter too and that was great.

The heat pump for our house is probably a bit too old and under-sized for our house. For the last seven years or so I have placed a very small window AC unit in our (2nd story) master bedroom to help cool the house in the summer. Thinking that the window unit was making the house look a bit trashy we decided to replace it with this unit.

Overall, we are quite pleased with the unit, but it takes up quite a bit of space in the bedroom. Sometimes I think the window unit was easier in that sense certainly cheaper / took less indoor space.

A word about capacity the previous unit was only 8000 BTU this unit claims to be larger in capacity and it may very well be but it certainly seems to take a bit longer to cool the room / upper floor of the house. (this seems typical of this type read up online) BUT it isn't nearly as noisy as the old unit was. There is a small rattle that is solved by placing a small pillow on the left side of the unit annoying, but workable.

The remote is probably a cool feature, but we simply set to temp and move on. We never touch it. I'm curious how the heater will work in the winter.

Relatively easy to install took about an hour the unit is quite heavy over 100 lbs easily takes some effort to move.

Don't turn on for 24 hours after you've moved the unit especially if turned on it's side. I let the unit sit in our bedroom for a few days as we had to set it at an angle to transport.

CONS this unit is expensive, takes up a lot of room INSIDE of the house, might take a bit longer to cool than a window unit.

PROS easy to install, remote nice feature, works pretty well.

This is a great thermostat. I live in Michigan, and I have a, well insulated, home office built into one side of my garage. I have used a cheap ceramic electric heater (with a fan and built in thermostat)for 14 years. Until I got this thermostat, the temperature had always varied widely. Most of the time I had to wear a sweater to work in the winter. From January of this year until summer, the Dimplex thermostat kept the temperature constant, with the same heater.

The heater is in front of my desk on the floor, and I mounted the thermostat about 6 feet up, on the wall next to my desk. I have a digital clock, with a thermometer on the opposite wall. Every time I looked at it, from January until I put the heater away for the summer, the temperature was 73 degrees or rarely 72.

The wiring was a little trouble, because the thermostat is on the opposite wall from the out;et for the heater, but it was definitely worth it.

I would recommend this to anyone.

2 1/2 Year Update (as of 3/2013): We've been using this kettle at least twice a day and it works and looks like new. The only maintenance we do is every six months heat up a one-to-one mix of water and vinegar to clean any build-up. Now, back to the original review...

There are lots of pluses... The double insulation keeps the outside less than dangerously hot. It also means the water will heat up a tiny bit faster and stays hot a lot longer than uninsulated kettles.

The water almost never touches plastic; an important consideration to some. The underside of the lid is plastic and so is the frame around the scale filter. Still, the contact is minimal. The tall, thin design means it take up less counter space than other models.

The surprising (to me anyway) "minus" is that when you take this pot off its base the switch stays in the on position. All the other cordless electric kettles I've used shut off when you lift them up. The result is that the only two ways to turn this off are to remember to flip the switch or count on the kettle to turn itself off when the remaining water boils or the pot runs dry. It's not a big deal but for the price Hamilton Beach could have included an interlock (like they do on other kettles they make).

BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews take the place of first-hand experiences that are lacking in online shopping. I've always appreciated the help I've gotten from other reviewers and continue to return the favor as best as I can. If you thought this review was helpful please let me know by clicking on "Yes" button where it asks.

Most importantly, my wife loves it, and she is a gadget-phobe. I just bought a second one for my mother.

We have been using it for two months now, and no problems so far.

After my usual exhaustive search, I selected this tea kettle because it had the best combination of features.

PRO:

All metal: stainless steel liner and no exposed heating element to accumulate scale buildup. The lid is plastic but it doesn't come into contact with the water. I really didn't like the idea of boiling water in contact with plastic.

Cool touch exterior for safety and also it insulates the water inside, keeping it hotter after the kettle shuts off upon boiling.

Nice balance for the handle I find the electric kettles with the handle on the top to be much more difficult to lift and pour. This one has the handle on the side much better.

Wide mouth top is easy to fill and clean. The lid pivots in the middle too hard to describe so I added a clip from the user manual. Easy to remove lid to clean, though as others mentioned it does get in the way a bit when you're filling the kettle.

As with many other kettles, it is cordless -the kettle lifts easily off and on from the corded base, and you can hide any extra power cord inside the base.

CON (none of these matter to me or my wife):

No water level indication, but then if there were you would probably have connections that could leak over time and potentially plastic parts in contact with water.

Water temperature is not adjustable.

Best Deals for Hamilton Beach 40898 Cool-Touch 8-Cup Cordless Electric Kettle

I've had the Hamilton Beach Cool Touch Tea Kettle for two years and I've had no problems with it. I love it for the following features:

Pros

----

Stainless Steel

The most important reason I got this kettle is that its interior is made of stainless steel, not plastic. Boiling water in plastic just doesn't sit well with me what with the talk about the health hazards from harmful chemicals (e.g. BPA, DEHA) in plastic leaching into food and drinks.

Seamless Metal

Inside and out, I simply can't find a a metal seam the kettle is a one-piece stainless steel construction and have absolutely no joints where pieces of stainless steel are welded together. There is, therefore, no need to worry about the water being contaminated by lead from solder.

Quick Boil

It boils 40 oz of water, the maximum capacity, in 4 minutes. (I actually timed it. Boil times will of course vary depending on altitude and the initial temperature of the water.)

"Cool" Touch

When boiling water in the kettle, the exterior of the kettle is warm, not hot, so you don't risk getting burned.

Wide Opening

The wide opening makes it easy to fill it with water and to clean.

Easy Plug In and Plug Out

To "plug in" the kettle to the power supply, simply sit the kettle on the base unit. Similarly, simply lift the kettle to "unplug" it. It's a one-handed operation, and there's no cords or plugs to mess with.

Spring-Loaded Lid

The spring-loaded lid flips open with the press of a button on the handle. The lid can also be easily detached by pressing a button on it to release a catch.

Auto Shutoff

When the water starts to boil, the power button pops up, the green LED indicator turns off, and the kettle automatically shuts off. There is also an audible "click" as the power button pops up.

Looks

The kettle looks attractive with its simple curves and brushed stainless steel finish.

As for Cons, there's just one for me:

Con

---

Hard-To-See "Max" Water Fill Mark

The interior has a "Max" mark to indicate the maximum water level but it's not easy to see it. Work-around: The lid is hinged in the middle, so when it is flipped open, the bottom half of extends below the rim of the kettle. It so happens that the bottom of the lid lines up with the "Max" mark, so you can use the lid as a marker for gauging when the water level reaches the mark.

Conclusion

----------

The Hamilton Beach Cool Touch Tea Kettle is attractive, easy to use, and boils water quickly. I don't think you can go wrong with this one.

[Update June 9, 2011]

I'm really pleased with how durable this product is -I've been using this electric kettle for well over 4 years now, and I've had no problems with it. I hope to enjoy using it for many more years to come!

Honest reviews on Hamilton Beach 40898 Cool-Touch 8-Cup Cordless Electric Kettle

I bought this kettle a month or so ago. I agree with other reviewers that it's a well built appliance that boils quickly and doesn't impart any taste to the water (that I can detect). I chose it because of it's steel container, having read too much about chemicals leaching out of plastics. But it won't pour! The darned thing must have been designed by an industrial artist to look cool, and I bet they didn't build a prototype and check it out before launching into production. I've tried everything to get it to pour cleanly, but it always trickles water back down the outside of the canister and all over the counter or table top. I've tried removing the plastic filter, pouring quickly, slowly, etc, but nothing prevents a pool of hot water that has to be wiped up afterwards. It seems to be inherent in the shape of the lip. The only thing that minimizes(but doesn't prevent) the problem is to open the lid and pour extremely slowly. It's really a major irritation with an otherwise pleasing product.

One of the best features about this kettle is that the all metal interior is seamless! No metal stamped or welded together unlike other stainless steel kettles out there. Guarantees me of no leaking and no grooves to corrode or collect junk. The other great feature is that the entire lid can be removed leaving you the ability to insert your whole hand in to clean the interior. There are no sharp edges either! The flip open lid allows easy filling. I've been searching and researching for a long time, and this was the best $40 spent! My old stove top kettle is out in the recycling bin!

I've only just filled the bed up, but it seems like it'll work out well. No leaks and they included a 4" repair patch.

The bed has a bit more stretch to it than the one I replaced, I can hit bottom if I try. There is very little plastic smell with it. The size of my bed was 84" X54". I had to remodel my frame for it and I found that when filled the mattress was spot on as far as width, but perhaps a quarter inch too long in length. Not a big deal.

Not much else to say. Wish it weren't made in China. I can only hope it lasts 20 years like my last bed did.

I can't wait for it to warm up so I can sleep on it again. Regular mattresses are hell, seems I'll never go back to normal beds.

Wife came to me and said the dryer wouldn't turn on. You could hear an electronic click, but no movement on our electric dryer. After doing some research, figured this was the culprit. It arrived earlier than expected (I think a business day earlier, which was a Friday, so that was nice). This was the best price that I found. Easy to install, and fixed the problem.

Our dryer died and I knew this had failed after testing the circut. It worked perfectly and the dryer is still going. One word of caution, sometimes these things blow out because the dryer is overheating. If the new one burns out again quickly, check the dryer vent for being plugged. If that is not the cause, time for a new dryer. Bypassing this fuse is a sure fire way to burn your house down. Pun intended.

Honest reviews on Whirlpool/Kenmore dryer thermofuse 3392519

A fuse is a pretty simple item but the one I removed was burned out and this replacement fuse makes my dryer 'as good as new'.

I am so glad and happy I was able to find this on Amazon and have it delivered to my house. Really quick delivery. I ordered on Saturday and received on Monday. I ordered two (saving one for next repair.) Very simple to replace. I used a mutimeter (costs about $10) to determine that this was what I needed. At this price though, you could just buy the thermofuse and see if it fixes the problem of the dryer not heating.

Was the exact part for my dryer. Just wished it had the product number on it so if I ever needed another one then I would have the correct number on hand. Received in a timely manner. Was glad I could get this for a little of nothing on Amazon because the only place I could actually go in and get it, the price was ridiculous and the only appliance store that sold parts within a 20-30 mile radius of my house. It ended up being my heating element on the dryer and I couldn't go another week without a dryer so I bought that at the expensive appliance store mentioned instead of online. Glad there are other options out there that don't cost so much!

I was looking for a heater that would fit under my desk, and provide slow comfortable heat without popping the circuit breaker. This is an excellent heater for an office or other small area.

The heater is rated at 400W. I tested the current draw a few times by plugging the heater and my computer into the same outlet strip, and turning them on simultaneously. No problems the circuit never tripped (of course in actual use the heater should be plugged into a wall outlet).

When used under a table or desk, I've had to turn it down to near it's minimum setting. It provides enough local heat that I can turn the main furnace down 2-3 degrees. For the cost of a 40-watt light bulb, I can work in comfort!

Although it doesn't get as hot as a fan heater, like other oil heaters it is sometimes too hot to comfortably touch. Be aware if there are toddlers or flammables nearby.

The product page is sketchy on details; heater dimensions are approx. 21.5"L x 15.5 "H. Width ranges from 0.5" at the fins to a 5.25" W at the base. Weight is just under 7 pounds.

I own several oil filled heaters. We have used them for the baby's room at night, for rooms at the end of the house far from the furnace, bathrooms that need just a little more heat when we turn the furnace down for the night, etc. Generally speaking, oil filled heaters provide that safe, quiet, slow heat that is wonderful for sealed (non-drafty) rooms.

Just bought this 400 watt unit to go "under" a desk for my wife's cold feet. The big oil filled radiators are too big to go under there, she'd have no foot room left. So we sprung for this small unit. The problem is, it MELTED her boot when she touched it with the end of her boot for a few seconds. We are talking "MORE THAN HOT." Because it is so thin, it has almost no fins to distribute the heat through the oil. The result is...less heat output than bigger oil heaters, and the side gets extremely hot. Now..I know and you should nkow....most oil filled heaters get warm to the touch on the side of the fins....but not enough to burn you for any brief touch. This one you can fry an egg on the sides. Not as hot as say....the ceramic or electric wire heaters. But more hot than we wanted! So if you planned on putting it under your desk and touching your shoes to it.....think again! It will burn them. And it puts out nowhere near as much heat as a regular oil filled heater (such as those with 700/800/1500 watt settings).

On this little unit, the legs keep it 2 inches away from the wall, and they do seem delicate and prone to break if you push the heater over.

PROS: It's lightweight. You can carry and move it easily with one hand. It's pretty small. It's dead silent. It uses relatively little power (400 watt maximum). I find we have it on maximum most of the time and we are lucky to get it to raise the 8 by 8 room temperature in that office by 2 or 3 degrees. It uses so little power, however, that it never trips our overloaded breaker. That is one reason we replaced the 1500 watt heater in the room with this one...because when all of the laser printers and computers were whirring, the 1500 watt heater would trip things. But the 1500 watt oil filled never burned us. This one, although hot to the touch, does not raise the temperature much for things that are 2 or 3 inches away. I had it two inches from a chair one day, and the vinyl chair was barely warm to the touch....even when the unit would burn you if you touched it. That says something about the unit....it's hot....but it's not throwing out much heat to warm the room. Kind of like how a soldering iron is really hot to the touch...but it's not heating the air around much. Unfortunately, that is what we have with this unit...it's a thin compromise unit...and the thinness really robs it of convective ability. As long as the legs work, I don't worry about this thing burning things close that it is not touching. I would worry, however, if this unit fell over and touched something...like something plastic.

CONS: I'm disappointed in the heat output. The problem is...lack of fins means the heater gets hot to the touch....VERY...but not as much air flow is generated due to lack of fins. So my wife complained, it burns her feet to the touch, but does not get her under desk area warm. This is the OPPOSITE of what we were hoping to achieve! We wanted something that would heat up the underside of her desk so she could be toasty under there, while being safe for her feet or items down there.

In fairness, this unit might do the trick in an under-desk space, with no drafts and where you have a LOT Of leg room so that you cannot touch it with your feet. Say....a very large under desk space under an L-shaped or U-shaped desk. This would then very gradually radiate heat and raise things around the desk 2 to 5 degrees....desk would be warmer to touch, keyboard warmer, etc if you left it on all of the time. That was our goal with the unit, but it just won't work in my wife's office due to too hot to the touch...will burn tootsies or shoes. But I have another office I'm going to attempt to use it in where the desk is an L...and there is nothing under one side that can touch it.

If you are looking at this unit, please remember that 400 watts is 400 watts. And anything 100 to 300 watts is not going to create much heat at all. And 400 watts is not a whole lot better...especially without big convection fins. If you have a drafty and open space.....NONE of these oil filled heaters are going to work well for you. They work BEST in small sealed rooms, with closed doors, where they can raise the temperature gradually as the hot air rises off of them. If you are looking for FAST heat, you want a heater with a fan...not a radiator. But if you have the room, and wattage ability in your circuit, and you want quiet even heat, your way better off going with a bigger oil filled heater than this unit. Most of the bigger units, you can turn down to 700 watts and then turn that thermostat so it only comes on occasionally or half the time..which would be equivalent of 350 watts per hour and it would give more even, more safe heat than this unit...at the price of more floor real estate. If you must buy this unit, remember it gets hot to the touch...cannot touch things to the side....but it is small and "might" slip between two desks or the desk and the wall and just might make a "niche" heater for you. Some place...where you just don't have room for that big heater. Example....under a sink in a cabinet! To keep pipes from freezing. Or in a garage ...or in a closet in a garage to keep things from freezing. The thinness "Just might" allow you to put it in an odd space.

The personal heaters I've tried over the years have been noisy, tripped circuit breakers and often gave off burning smells that made me wonder if they were even safe. After trying a large-sized oil-filled radiant heater at home, I wished I could find a smaller version to sit by my desk at work. With some research online, I found the Newair AH-400. It was just what I wanted a radiant-style heater small enough for my workspace. I ordered it hoping it would keep my legs warm at work without causing power problems among the computer equipment. After a month or so of use, I am very pleased. It fits my needs perfectly. My experience with ordering and shipping was good as well. Everything was prompt and correct.

I bought this as a xmass gift for my wife. I was a little concerned with the dimensions listed thought it would be to wide, but it did fit under her desk. She loves it, not only keeps her feet warm but even when the room is cold she is comfortable.

I had been thinking about one of those radiant underdesk panels but after reading the reviews decided those wouldn't be enough for a climate like ours (Wyoming). This unit works very well.

Wrote the above review in 2008 when we got the heater, now 2013 still working great no problems with it what so ever. It runs under the wife's desk all winter day and night.

Hot water in my flask doesn't stay hot enough for a whole day out, and this is a good way to bring my tea or coffee up to temperature. I haven't tried heating water from cold it is always at least warm when I start. It takes several minutes and the wait can be a bit tedious, but it does a good job. The clip which is supposed to hold the heater onto the side of the mug doesn't (it flops about), so I have to hold it to keep it properly immersed. It cools off quickly and is reasonably easy to clean with a small brush.

This is a good product. I use it in a stainless coffee mug in the car. Sometimes the cigarette lighter plug on the Road Pro will melt if you leave it on too long. Radio shack part number 270-1521 is a much more robust plug. I just crunch the old plug up and cut the metal tabs with the wires soldered to them from the original plug and put them in the holes in the Radio Shack heavy duty plug and it is fixed and lasts forever. I leave the LED connected and it indicates when it is plugged in.

Great gadget. Much better than the plug in mugs that fail quickly.

Best Deals for RoadPro RPBH-012 12V Beverage Heater

I purchased this item as a gift for my son. He is an over the road truck driver and I thought this would be nice so he could make coffee of a morning. He used it twice and it burned out. It may be that it was just a defective product, but on the other hand at a cost of about $12, it is not worth taking the chance. I would have returned the product, but it may be months before I see him again, and he had already discarded the packaging. My loss could be your gain. Don't buy!

Honest reviews on RoadPro RPBH-012 12V Beverage Heater

I bought this item to heat water so that I could keep hot coffee during a 5-day cross-country road trip. (Without having to pull over to purchase it...) The product specifications indicates that the so-called "metal" clip would attach neatly to most "CERAMIC" coffee cups. Firstly, the "metal clip" is NOT METAL but some type of hard plastic. I chose a ceramic cup with the narrowest rim to be sure it would accomodate the space allowed for the clip to engage. However, as soon as I placed the clip on the rim of the my cup, the clip snapped off! (With little or NO pressure!!)

I just finished the trip on Saturday Sept. 4th and any hot coffee during my trip was purchased from various vendors enroute so I wasted $16.98 on the item and shipping cost. WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!

Although the other reviews were not promising I gave it a chance. Wrong! The heater was in pieces on arrival, the tip was unscrewed. I put it back together, used it once and the tip melted. I had used the 110v units years ago and although they didn't last very long, I decided to give this a chance, as I work from a vehicle. Don't waste your time or money.

Discount Jarden Consumer Heater SUL496-UM Sunbeam Ultrasonic Humidifier

Customer Ratings:

With this humidifier I do not have that worry that I had with so many before when I would leave it on when going to sleep. This one seems to automatically turn itself off with not problem to the system itself, quite a relief. Also, filling it up is pretty easy. I pull out the top part/bucket, flip it upside down, open it up, fill it up. Although, I could see somebody who doesn't own a bathtub having difficulties fitting this into the sink. If this was true, then you would just have to fill it up like most other humidifiers by taking water to it and filling it.

There was a complaint about the direction in another review. Yes, it does shoot the moisture straight up into the air. But if your room has a fan (mine is a ceiling) going then this shouldn't be a problem. Do be careful not to leave it at full speed in a closed room for extended periods without a fan. I have done this a few times when leaving for work and noticed that there was some dampness surrounding it when I got home. Nothing severe, it evaporated within a few minutes of me turning the machine off.

I am very, very thankful for this humidifier. Especially since it doesn't use filters so mold isn't a very big issue. With this one I will wipe it out every month or so, no big deal.

I like the humidity output, it works great. It's not the quitest humidifier I've owned. I currently have two of these, and the problem I'm experiencing with both, is that some black residue builds up in the reservoir. I have poured some vinegar in the tank each time I fill it but it doesn't do the trick. any ideas out there? (HELP PLEASE)

Purchased this unit for the baby's room. Water vapor output is very good, strong and visible, especially when turned on High. The only problem is that the vapor settles around the unit so you will have a wet floor/carpet surrounding the unit IF you have it set on High. At mid-setting, very little to no moisture on floor and vapor output is still decent. Just be aware of this, I definitely would not place it on a table because of this. Good unit, would still recommend.

Honest reviews on Jarden Consumer Heater SUL496-UM Sunbeam Ultrasonic Humidifier

I purchased this unit at Walmart (Ohio) for $42.oo. I also bought a bag of tablets to put in the tank, and they cost $3 and will last atleast a couple months I am sure. I love how quiet this tank is and the unit itself is very beautiful, not bulky like some of the machines that just look like a big medical machine. I really like the sleek look of this one. It says it is for a medium room and I think that is accurate. I put this in my livingroom during the day, which is large, and it's not quite enough to eliminate static 100%. I do notice my nose doesn't burn anymore and there is no static in my (or families) hair anymore, but I did get shocked /w static electricity when I went to change settings on my ceiling fan today, lol. My fault because it says medium roon, not large (or extra large). At night, I carry this into my bedroom and the room is small and this is more than enough misting and I am hoping that my scalp will not be so itchy in time. That and static and burning nose are main reasons I bought it. I love that I can SEE alot of mist coming from this! If I can't see it, I never think they work. I'm optimistic about this unit and I just purchased it recently. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING with all cool mist humidifiers is DO NOT BE LAZY when it comes to reading the maintenence requirements. As far as I know, this one only requires a good emptying every other day, and wipe it dry as best you can, and ONCE A WEEK, soak the inner tank with a mild bleach and water mix. I think this part is very important in eliminating the potential for bacteria. Overall, i give this unit 4 stars, as a new user. The only con so far would be the one others have mentioned about not having a directional nozzle to point air. 75% of the time, I would probably have it pointing straight up into the air anyways. Good buy!

I like this humidifier. It shoots the vapor up fairly high, and is easy to operate. It also runs quiet so does not disturb your sleep.

This regulator is in no way misrepresented in the write up. It does what it says it will do. Used accordingly and properly, there should be no problems.

Again, make sure this is what you really want and the connector/hose ends are appropriate.

It broke after about two months, won't switch anymore. It was always very finicky after I filled the tank getting it to flow was difficult

This was very easy to install. Auto-Changeover feature is super simple to use. Unfortunatley you have to take off your propane covers to view the indicator but that is no fault of this regulator.

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater F273766 Propane Auto-Changeover Two Stage Regulator

The item has changed. It no longer even matches the picture that is on the box. The manufacturing of this part is now being outsourced to "Cavagna Group" and is now the same as the other regulator that I did NOT want. The Mr. Heater regulator, as pictured, is apparently no longer being made, so if you order it, you get a different one altogether--not even the same design. It does not work for me at all. Absolutely irritating. The one being put in the "Mr. Heater" box is made by Cavagna group and is a completely different design and does not even match the box picture or packaging--and nobody thinks it makes a difference?

Been in rv's for 40+ years. This is one of the better quality regulator. If it says "made in China" skip that product.

The product is great, but I can't install it. What a pain in the butt to get it in the heater lined up correctly so there are no bumps and the wick is the proper length. After a few hours of redoing it I gave up. In the face of a real emergency I'll just have to figure it out.

Buy Sid Harvey's #264-36 Micro-Flow* Oil Filter Element For Fuel Oil

Customer Ratings:

Because fuel oils have become MORE dirty recently I use two filters in series. First one is the old felt filter element for the General 1A-25A and the 2nd one is this Micro-flow filter, also in a General 1A-25A housing.

The felt acts as a "roughing" filter and takes out the big junk. What "small" stuff gets thru is caught by the Micro-Flow. Seems like over-kill, but this prevents waking up at 5AM to a cold house because the burner nozzle has clogged and no oil can be burned to heat the house. Have done this for a few years now without any clogging shut downs. Oil here is so dirty that I now change filters twice a year as insurance. I am a retired Mechanical Engineer. At 79 years old I prefer to sleep thru the night in a comfortable home. I replace the burner fuel nozzle once a year to avoid the 5AM wake up. It's also nice to be able to leave the house for a few days in Winter & not be concerned about the possibility of frozen pipes everywhere!!

I was pleased to see that this filter is the same filter that came with the complete unit. we used the previous one for two years without a problem and made sure we got the same one this time. I came promptly, well packaged, well priced, and after we installed the new one, we were glad we had ordered two. This is a winner.
