We purchased and received this machine about a month ago from Amazon.com. Since then we've enjoyed using it. Set up was a breeze...nothing difficult to assemble. We wiped everything down to sanatize it and popped our first batch. While our first batch as decent...we had quite a few unpopped kernals (we didn't use enough oil) and have had to refine our technique a bit. The machine itself seems to be of decent quality for $200 bucks. It's worked just fine and we have absolutely no complaints at this point.

This is what we've learned in the past month that may be of use to others. If you don't use enough oil you'll end up with a lot of unpopped kernals. We use about 4 TABLESPOONS of oil with 1 cup of popcorn and it seems to be the perfect combination. One cup of popcorn weighs about 7 ounces and that's the perfect amount for my wife and I.....yes we do love popcorn. If you're not as much into popcorn as we are....you could probably give a nice treat to 4 or 5 people with one cup of unpopped corn and 4 tablespoons of oil.

One thing we'd highly suggest is that you use a product called "Flavacol" which is basically butter flavored salt. You add it right to the oil in the pot before adding the popcorn. We used about a level TEASPOON for one cup of unpopped popcorn and it was about right for us. It's the product that two movie theaters use that we asked....that's how we found out about it. It definately does give your popcorn that "movie theatre taste" we all know and love. We couldn't find Flavacol around town here....so we found you can order it from Amazon or Ebay or probably a number of other places as well. It's cheap...so no worries about the cost.

Buy this machine and go forth and enjoy !

Popcorn tastes as good as the machine looks. It is really an afordable way to go for a small store, church or such. We had used it at our local church for family video showings. We also used it for Bible school events. It has held up well and still looks great. It is very easy to use and clean.

I read the reviews for this and other 8 oz popcorn machines and decided that this popcorn machine would be a good value for the money. I think I was wrong. The first issue is with the drop down door, when opening the glass doors, it always falls off of the 2 little slots for it. Maybe I can install a couple of hinges to hold it in place. The second issue is with the kettle itself. It doesn't fit the 2 brackets hanging down very well. Also, the lids on the kettle flip up and do not fall back down as the popcorn is popping and about half of the kernals come out without popping. It may also be the depth of the kettle (it isn't much deeper than the 4 oz popper I had before this), I don't know. If I was using cheap popcorn, I would blame that, but I use the Gold Medal 8 oz packets.

I was hoping to make movie night more fun and making the popcorn less of a chore but in the end, I believe the 4 oz machine was easier to use and considering the amount of popcorn actually popped, was less time consuming. It's too bad really, I had high hopes that this was going to work for my family. The kids were able to use the last one we had but this one is too much trouble for them to even mess with. For the $225 (with shipping) I spent, I can't say I could recommend this model to anyone else.

We play poker every weekend at our house. We thought this would be the perfect item to have for snack while we played. So far (1 month) it has been the greatest. The house smells like popcorn when the players arrive and the taste is unbelievable. We make two batches and it fills 10 adults for 3 hours of playing. I would recommend this for the home theater.

Works as advertised. It heats my 3 garage garage to a working temperature with no problems even when it is -20 deg F outside.

When running all 3 burners on their high setting, a 20 lb tank is good for about 10 hours.

Pros:

Lots of heat

Easy to use

Cons:

Noisy on occasion

Uses lots of fuel when running on highest setting with all 3 burners

No ignition start...I use a propane torch to get it running.

I'd buy it again but if I could afford it, I'd get a ventilated natural gas heater instead.

Wanda was SO excited when I told her we was gonna get us a new mattress for the waterbed we bought at the flea market. We found this one on Amazon, and we was thrilled. Since I'm a Prime Member, shipping was free.

Luckily, this was delivered at the same time as my Expandable Garden Hose & Spray Nozzle Combo 50 FOOT! (Available on Amazon from taylorman1976). The expandable hose stretched from the faucet outside my trailer window through the bedroom to the water bed. I was able to fill up my new InnoMax Sanctuary Free Mattress lickety-split thanks to my new hose.

Unfortunately, this new mattress had some tiny little holes. It's okay, I went and got some duct tape out of the tool box on my 1980 El Camino. I wasn't a Boy Scout, but like Wanda says... I am always prepared. I taped up those holes, and my new satin sheets went on that mattress and it looked GOOD in my single-wide.

As soon as I can get Wanda out of the shower, we are gonna cuddle up and take us a nap on this new mattress. I get to be the little spoon!

This does not mount "flush" on the wall. If the product had been correctly represented in the ad, I would have put the wall outlet on a different wall. It looks good and I think will work out well, but I am totally fritzed that I have to call the electrician back in and put in another outlet so that the "back side" heater apparatus will not be as prominent. Had I known, I could have easily had the outlet put in the right wall. Now the drywall is in and the bathroom painted... Grrrrr...it looks good, but the product description is waaaaay off. Understand that there is a good 4 inches of utility chrome heating element behind the granite slab and that the heating element is vented out the top, so it cannot mount with the granite flush to the wall or you would be venting heat into the space inside your wall. Picture is totally inaccurate. The only way the picture is accurate is if they are heating the room behind the granite slab. LOL! Not likely.

I was hesitant to buy this heater because I saw a review saying it did not look good, well, I took my chances and I am SO glad I did! Not only the price was great, but the product itself is all I wanted, safe, energy efficient and great looking!, the seller was very helpful too.

It took my husband 15 minutes to install it and it looks great in our bathroom!! I agree that if people have tiny little bathrooms it might seem bulky, but in our bathroom looks spectacular. We went with the slate white, as we have dark tile and wanted to accent it. It takes only 15 minutes to warm the bathroom.

Will recommend this product to anybody!

I was concerned when I purchased this unit. There are a number of highly negative reviews on it. However, on further research, I have discovered that the circumstances leading to those reviews could have been avoided.

When one uses this heater with a 20 lb propane bottle & accessory hose, it is imperative that you always shut the tank off first & let the heater run until it burns off all the fuel in the lines.

*** IT IS IMPERATIVE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE ***

If one simply turns the heater knob to the off position, it will trap trap 100 PSI of propane in the accessory hose. When high pressure propane sits in the rubber hose, it will chemically react with the rubber and leetch a light oil. The oil will build up and quickly work its way into the heater, clogging both the regulator & control valve.

Another very important recommendation is to purchase the gas line filter. This will catch the oily residue and protect the combustion components of the heater should one forget to follow the precautions above.

Keeping these precautions in mind, one will be able to enjoy a very well-build and flexible-use portable heater.

I don't agree with some of the reviews. I don't see that it's a fire hazard at all. My Big Buddy was delivered last week. Here's what I found:

My elevation in Virginia, About 800 feet

Ambient temperature, 72.8 (in my house). Outside temp 29.0

1. Running on high on ONE Disposable Cylinder caused unit shutdown after 50 minutes. (Pilot started to flicker, cut out and then gas shut down). Single bottle was covered with ice (I assume that's bad...)

2. Running on TWO Disposable Cylinders got me the balance of three hours smoothly and well.

3. No fumes observed at all. Some moisture, but cracking the window an inch kept it under control.

4. A lot of heat. Too much for my wood floor. I had to put it on my brick mantle. This might scorch tile.

5. It kept my upstairs (1000 square feet) at 72.5. Only a loss of 0.3 degrees over three hours. Better than expected.

Suggestion: If you are trying to run on high with disposables, use two of them. This is not in the manual.

I don't know how it works with tanks, or whether you need to feed one or both inputs.

My unit did not come with the AC adapter. The batteries work.

If you bump it gently, it shuts off.

Conclusion:

For 139 bucks, it fits the bill well enough. It appears to be very well made, but the safety features make it tempermental. For my use as an emergency heat source, it's adequate.

I've been fumbling, stumbling, and bumbling along trying to obtain the "right" combination of MR HEATER items to allow me to use their BIG BUDDY product. I strongly suggest that you decide on which heater you want, then go to and pull up the web page for that heater. Find the FAQ section for that heater. Read through the "problems" very closely. You will find there are valid reasons for those problems to occur. MR HEATER explains and provides solutions to those problems in the FAQ. One thing, in my humble opinion, is missing in the descriptions ~ If you are using larger than 20-lb tanks, you may need a "regulator" to control the pressure from the tank to your heater or other small appliance. Check with MR HEATER Tech Support before you run into problems. Be patient and be very clear about your setup. Everyone I have contacted has been very helpful and responsive to my questions. MR HEATER also provides information on the SAFETY RECALL situation with a possible solution on what to do with replacing a faulty heater.

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater MH18B, Portable Propane Heater

My heavily retro-insulated 1920 NH colonial is heated with base-board heat supplied by an oil fired water boiler. Living alone now, and seeing oil prices exceeding $4.25/gallon this summer, I decided to get creative with space heaters. After a lot of research, I bought a Big Buddy for my downstairs 12x24 office and a Delonghi TRD0715T oil-filled radiator for my upstairs, 12x12 bedroom. Both have proven to be excellent choices.

To fire my Big Buddy, I drilled a small hole in the wall to the outside, just large enough to sneak the 12' regulated propane hose (accessory) outside and into a barbeque grill size propane tank. I built a little, enclosed stand for the propane tank so I could reach out a window to turn it off and on rather than have to go outside to do it. I've been keeping the rest of the downstairs at 50 degrees as I don't use the other rooms except to walk through to get to my office. In the morning, I fire my Big Buddy up to the max 18,000 btu and in 20 minutes the room is at 60 degrees. Then I turn the heater down to 9,000 btu for a half hour or so until the room is up to 65 degrees, then down to 4,000 btu until the room is at 70 degrees, and for the rest of the day I vary between 4,000 btu and just a pilot light. At a local propane dealer, I can get a 20 lb. barbeque tank filled for $10. I keep two barbeque tanks, so when one runs out of propane, I have another ready to go. So far I go through a tank about every 10 days. No mess, no fumes, no headaches, no problems. Between this heater and the excellent Delonghi heater in my bedroom, I have so far used 1/8 tank of heating oil since August, where I would otherwise by now have used more near 3/4 of my 275 gallon oil tank. Even as heating oil has dropped considerably in price since August, that's still a huge savings.

One downside of my Big Buddy is the installed fan is not only noisy but pretty useless. To compensate for this, I have a six inch fan propped up behind and toward the top of the heater to blow the rising heat around the room. My Big Buddy isn't thermostat controlled, but who cares? When the room is up to the temperature I want, I get up out of my chair once every couple hours or so and turn the heat control up or down, and for that minor inconvenience I save a small fortune on heating oil.

If you buy the Big Buddy, be sure to turn off your propane source and let your Big Buddy pilot light go out before you turn off the unit. Otherwise, enjoy the relatively inexpensive heat from this excellent powerhouse.

Here's what you should know BEFORE you buy this thing. It is inefficient, expensive, and environmentally lousy with 1 lb disposable cylinders. If you are planning to use a 20lb propane tank, be aware that you can only get near the 220 hour (at low) performance by using 2 tanks. The heater has 2 regulators, 2 heating tiles, and 2 connections. At low and medium settings you will only use one of the `tiles'. On high, both tiles will burn brightly. The fan is noisy and sucks down D cell batteries, but really doesn't move much air. There is also the AC adapter option: Radio Shack sells it for about 18-20$. Mr. Heater Customer Service can provide the part numbers but cannot sell you the item. When you talk with them, you might as well order the fuel filters ($9.95 each) that you will need if you use 20 pound tanks. For 2 tanks, order 2 filters. The filters are a (moisture/impurity) trap that prevents the tiny holes in the heating tiles from filling up with junk. Propane may be equal at creation, but one never knows how it has been stored. Use the filters. If you use 20 lb tanks, you will also need hoses. Mr. Heater makes them in 5 and 12 foot lengths. Amazon seems to have the best price on these. You should expect to spend $100-$150 above the price of the heater for hoses, tanks, filters, AC adapter.

Feeding the rumor mill: There was a Consumer Product Safety Commission Recall of this item during the Winter 04/05. It impacted all heaters sold prior to about January 10, 2005. The problem concerned a potential malfunction of the regulator/control valve assemblies. My first heater was affected by the recall. I had no use of it for the winter of 04/05. My second heater works just fine.

Amazon Customer Service: EXTREMELY POOR as it relates to this purchase. I purchased my heater days before the recall was announced. Amazon refused to accept my return of this item even though it had not been used. They also took down product reviews alerting customers to the recall (and potential safety hazard) of this item. After numerous polite but fruitless conversations, I contacted the President of Amazon with my complaint. He has chosen to ignore it. I would probably buy this heater again despite the problems. I would never buy anything from Amazon again because of the problems.

There are currently two seemingly identical models listed on Amazon, the F232025 and the F273400. I contacted the manufacturer and verifed that the F232025 is the newest version. The F273400 was manufactured through 2008. For this reason, I'd recommend purchasing the F232025. It's also cheaper.

Bought a heater to keep us warm while buddies and I ice fish while the lakes are frozen here in Colorado. I was torn between this Buddy heater and the bigger model, the Big Buddy heater, but decided this smaller one would work fine. It does the job nicely, when we are in our ice fishing tent we turn it on and it heats it up nicely. The only thing I wish this model had was a fan blower like the bigger model has, because most of the heat it produces goes straight up. It might be worth it just to buy the bigger model so you can have the fan blow the hot air on you. This thing does produce some serious heat though, if you put your hands too close to it they will start to burn after a few seconds.

I also bought a Mac Coupler to go along with this heater, this lets you refill the 1LB propane bottles from your 20LB gas grill propane bottle so you won't have to throw the 1LB propane bottles away. I would suggest for anybody that uses the 1LB propane bottles to buy a Mac Coupler, just search for it on amazon and read the reviews for it. It will save you alot of money!

Some other reviewer from Colorado on here said this does not work that great at high altitudes, but I live in Colorado as well, and I have used this heater at several lakes ice fishing including Antero Reservoir (8900 ft. altitude) and 11 Mile Reservoir (8600 ft. altitude) and the heater has worked fine. I guess it just doesn't work at the really super high altitudes like 10,000 ft. and above.

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater F232025 MH9BX Buddy 4,000-9,000-BTU Portable Radiant

This is for the MH9BX newer version of Mr. Heater Portable Buddy. It would appear that Mr. Heater has made some improvements in the Portable Buddy line and perhaps they have, but as is often the case these days "improved" versions are often lacking.

First I should say that I have been using an older version of this product for a couple of years now and have only good things to say about it. So when the need arose to buy two more Portable Buddy heaters I went right to Amazon and did so. The new Buddy differs from the old in several seemingly unimportant ways, but these differences are important.

1. The propane connection is now built with a swivel mechanism which makes attaching a propane bottle much easier. Remains to be seen if this feature works well over time.

2. The control valve has been redesigned. The old model had a separate valve control and ignitor control. Now these two functions have been combined in a single control. The best I can say about this is that it is "funky", meaning that it doesn't work smoothly and requires a bit of fussing with it to change the control from one setting to the next. This is consistent with both units I purchased.

Just one week after the 30 day Amazon return period expired, one of these units stuck in the HIGH position and would not turn off. After messing with the control for about 30 minutes, I was finally able to get it to the off position. The internal push-to-turn safety mechanism just barely works correctly on a good day. I think it's only a matter of time before both fail completely.

Warranty service requires you to return the unit at your expense. Meanwhile my old Buddy continues to work flawlessly. Let me also state that I'm very mechanically minded so the problem here is not with my skill level.

Fantastic product highly recommended for snappy localized heating. I bought this unit for a fall camping trip to Vail, CO -Bryce Canyon, UT -and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, AZ.

While in Vail, the temps made it down to 25 the first night we were tent camping and the Mr. Buddy heater kept our 100 sq. foot tent toasty warm throughout the night.

Over the 9 day trip we successfully used the unit at various altitudes up to 8500' and temps down to 25 with no problems whatsoever. I used the 16 oz propane canisters (green coleman fuel) with ease. (Count on about 1 can per night)

Excellent product and designed with safety in mind...even though the unit is kicking out the heat, the surround and body stay cool enough to touch. No concerns for my tent floor.

Shop around and get it on sale. (Minor note mine has the newer yellow body vs. the pictured red)

My first review: This is priced at $200 at Walmart. Why so much here? You want a hundred dollar tip? The ship there is a whopping 97 cents.

Update:

I bought this from Wal-Mart and am happy I did. It is small, so look at the dimensions carefully. But, I do enjoy sitting on the couch and having the flames twinkling out of the corner of my eye, or even staring at the thing is nice to do. It is fairly well made, and it does put out some heat. Not enough heat to take the place of a house heater, but on a really cold day it is nice to have it on. I have turned on the fireplace many times without the heat since I live in the south, and enjoy being able to do that. It really "warms up" the feel of the room. Another good thing is I have cats and am terrified of space heaters that they might get their little furry tails into, and this one seems safe to me from that perspective.

This is a very nice stove. The stove is very heavy, with solid construction. The pewter finish is a beautiful dark grey and the accents are very nice. The stove warms a room quickly and the flame is fairly realistic in a darkened room. Dimplex units have patented flame technology that uses a reflection of the logs to make it look like the fire is between two logs. There are glowing embers at the base. The logs themselves do not glow as they do in more expensive dimplex units. On the back of the unit, there is an adjustable thermostat knob, a heat on/off switch, and a fireplace on/off/remote toggle switch. This is quite a solid piece, much more so than the units I have seen in home stores and the flame effect is much more pleasing to the eye.

This is actually a large unit as electric stoves go which is one of the reasons I chose this model. There are multiple dimplex models that look similar and can be found on the dimplex website. I think the amazon price of $220 is very good as the MSRP is $499 and it is listed for $440 on the Lowes website. I could not find this model stove for sale on Walmart's website (as reported by another reviewer) at the time of this review.

This is our third electric fireplace/stove and our second Dimplex. If you are in the market for an electric fireplace because you want to add a cozy fireplace to a room without the expense of installing a real fireplace, I highly recommend dimplex. While you can usually find flame effect videos online, it is worth looking at the flames in the store to see the difference between the dimplex effect and others. If you are buying this for heat and simply the design of the unit then there are many options available, but the flame effect on a dimplex unit is much more realistic in my opinion.

We have an old coal fireplace which is only 8" deep. We could not find any type of gas flame logs that would fit at all. This product installed easily and fit almost perfectly into the space. We still get the look of a fire and additional heat. The heater aspect of it has a high & low setting and is very quiet. Another advantage point is we don't have to worry about small children getting to close to a flame and getting burnt. I am very pleased with this product.

Last summer I had our wood burning medal fireplace chimney removed and the fireplace capped. This left our fireplace useless. I looked at gas inserts and gas logs but didnt like the way they looked or they wouldn't fit. Then I saw this Dimplex electric in a furniture store. I was amazed how real it looked.

I love the look and feel of fireplaces, but they are very rare in South Florida, where I live. An artificial fireplace was the answer for me. I bought this insert to replace a unit that burned gel cans in a freestanding fireplace. This electric unit is beautiful! I like it so much more than the gel can type. This unit has a very realistic look. The logs are "real" (3-dimensional), not painted onto a screen like some others I've seen. The embers seem like they are really glowing and the "flames" dance realistically. And it is nice to be able to use it without heat if you wish. I highly recommend this fireplace insert.

Honest reviews on Dimplex DFI2309 Electric Fireplace Insert Heater, Black

I bought two of these inserts to fill fireplaces that have been capped off in an old house. The cords are very short & per the safety instructions you can't use extension cords to reach an outlet. The units look nice and provide ambience when it is dark. During the day they look exactly like what they are, fake. They do not put out any significant amount of heat. I tried to use it in my 6x4 hallway last week to take the chill off in the morning. It took three hours to raise that small room 10 degrees.

Bottom line-if you are buying them just for decoration, great, you'll like them. If you want them to function as heaters, these are not for you.

This electric log works for us. The light sort of slowly pulsates. It is a little too bright but we put some real wood around it and it is much better. The crackling noises are not realistic, but you don't have to turn them on. All in all, it looks nice in the fireplace behind the screens. It doesn't call attention to itself and people don't think anything about it, assuming there is a low hearth fire in the fireplace, unless they really look closely.

This is the most realistic looking I have seen. We placed it in a stone fireplace that we no longer use, it's perfect. Visitors believe it is real. The soung is not a genuine fireplace sound, but it can be turned off. Overall we love it.

I got this to use in side my gel burning firplace. The crackling fire sound is awful and sounds like the unit is shorting out so we keep the sound control off.

This product is as advertised, although you could be led to believe that you would get an affect of flames. All it does is glow from right to left. The sound is more like gun fire than crackling wood. It can and has been turned off. It consumes little or no power (less than 4W max) so it can be left on.

This was disappointing. The ring around the firepit was not impressive looks very fake and somewhat "cheap" ..... I could have purchased same quality for less locally.
