The imagery is real good and makes for a good fireplace insert. The problem comes from is when it's time to change the light bulbs. It requires some dis-assembly which should be no big deal but it is. After you dissemble the parts to get to the bulbs, it is still tight to get your hands in to unscrew the bottom bulbs. One was so tight

It blew up in my hands. leaving the screw part in the socket. Could not get it out. Tried to disassemble the box further to get at it better to no avail. Frustrated I bought a new one, to replace it. There was no guarantee, if I was able to get to it better that I would be able to get it out without breaking the plastic socket. I found it on sale on Amazon. So I bought the replacement. I have all the parts of the old one, I have another unused fireplace downstairs, when I get my basement ready I will reassemble it for looks...

Replaced an old wood burning fireplace in a 12x15 living room with this. I'm not one for tacky or gaudy; this is neither. Unbelievably realistic, attractive, and great source of heat. Couldn't be used to heat the house, but def takes the chill out of the room. Would recommend to anyone!

Very satisfied with the product. It was exactly as stated in the description. This is the second Dimplex electric fireplace I have. It provides enough heat to warm my entire living space, so I can keep the thermostat turned down so the bedroom stay cool.

We bought this unit 6 months ago to try and cool our 2nd floor (3 rooms). I set the unit to 70 degrees and it would constantly freeze up (meaning, ice would form after about 1 hour). I noticed that the unit drew more air in than it blew into the room. Giving the unit the benefit, I sealed everything in the room as tight as I could (insulating, foaming, etc) and closed off the other 2 rooms. It managed to cool that one room (12 x 16) but still would ice over on days of 100+ degrees (unit set for 70 degrees).

Heat pump: I turned it on in mid October. Today (December 10th), all of the lights on the front panel were blinking on and off and the unit would not turn off using the control panel power button. I unplugged it from the wall and left it sit for an hour. Plugging it back in (an hour later), the unit would run but all of the lights were flashing on and off with no control over the power.I am awaiting customer service to contact me to see how they will react to the 1 year warranty. I will try to post what has happened to keep consumers informed.

This rather expensive portable air conditioner is of very low quality, and it's also very poorly designed.

First of all, the air conditioner leaks water from the base. I purchased one, it leaked, I returned it, and the replacement leaked as well.

In order for a portable air conditioner to work properly, it needs to have a two hose design so that one hose takes in outside air to cool the compressor and the second hose expels the hot air from the unit to outside your house. This air conditioner only has one hose that vents the hot exhaust through a window to the outside of your house. This mean it takes in cool air from inside your house and blows it outside to cool the compressor. This creates a partial vacuum inside the house, which results in warm, humid air being drawn in from the outside to fill the partial vacuum. The intake of warm humid air almost completely offsets the amount of cooling this unit is able to provide. Using this unit alone in one small bedroom, the temperature would often be above 80 degrees F on hot July and August days. That's not acceptable performance for such an expensive air conditioner in such a small room.

For a portable air conditioner to work efficiently, it needs to have two hoses: one for intake and one for exhaust.

Lastly, the compressor and fan on this unit are very very loud. It's difficult to watch to TV or carry on a conversation while the unit is running.

I do not recommend this product to anyone.

I bought this unit two days ago when the temperature in a recreation room (fully insulated, measuring 35' x 17' or 595 square feet. Note: unit is rated for 550 square feet) over my garage reached temperatures of 98 to 100 degrees in this latest heat wave in New Jersey. The reason I purchased the "Soleus Heat Pump Air Conditioner" is because I wanted the duality of an air conditioner and heater.

The set up was not difficult, the window assembly kit that fits in the window had to be cut down, as required in the instructions to fit the window. That took about 5 minutes to measure and cut. Total set up time was about 35 minutes. Of that time twenty minutes were spent trying to understand the directions.

The instructions are not the best. There is a hose for draining water from the unit that is not mentioned anywhere in the instructions. The unit has Control Panel and Digital Display that is easy to use and a Remote Controller. The unit also has a timer and louvers that will oscillate up and down to circulate the air. What is not mentioned in the general instructions but under the Remote instructions is that the timer and oscillator can only be accessed through the Remote. However, none of this is insurmountable. After a few minutes of flipping back and forth between pages it can be figured out.

The venting kit that comes with the unit should have supplied some gasket material to put between the exhaust panel and the window. Luckily I had some sponge rubber gasket to assure a good seal. Also, it is a tight fit between the window sill and exhaust hose that fits into the window kit.

After I had the unit up and running I insulated the flexible PVC exhaust hose as per the instructions. The hose becomes quite warm and the heat from it will radiate back into the room, so insulating it makes sense.

Today as I am writing this, July 22 2011 at 1 pm, it is 101 degrees outside in the shade and very humid. In the room over the garage "Soleus" unit is maintaining a constant 82 degrees with 54 percent humidity. I consider that good, the main part of my home has central air set at 72 degrees and it is struggling to maintain the temperature at 74 degrees.

I consider the "Soleus" unit to be working pretty good for a portable air conditioner with extremely high temperature outside. I expect better results when the temperature gets down to the low 90's where it is more normal for summer here.

Honest reviews on SoleusAir 13,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, Dehumidifier

Seems to work adequately as an air conditioner. I thought I might not need to, or want to run our old dehumidifier. I purchased the LX-130D to use in the basement and expected that it would work even better at removing moisture than the old dehumidifier. The old stand alone dehumidifier runs for a fraction of the time to achieve the same level of de-humidification. The air conditioner and heater work well but are not super powerful.

I bought this unit and it lasted though the summer. When I went to turn it on the next summer it didn't work. Now the warranty is over. I took it into Sear's for repair to find out it had a hole in the condenser. Sears was unable to get the part from Soleus Air. I called Soleus Air direct and they informed me that I could ship them the unit as my cost and they would diagnos the problem at $45 and hour then tell me what it would cost to fix. I told them I already new it was the condenser. I just need to know how much it would cost to replace the condenser to see if it was worth it to send the unit. They refused to give me the information. I would have to do it their way or no way. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. 1st, it does not last. 2nd, really bad customer service. So now I have a large paperweight for sale!!!

I LOVE this heater HOWEVER after 1 winter I stored it and now we are in winter again and I am getting a error message on the heater of "PF". I looked in the manuel and it says that it is a temperture sensor issue and I have to contact the Service Center. The "limited warranty" is 1 year so I am out of luck. The $80 I paid for this heater would have been worth every penny only if it had lasted more then just 1 year. I am considering buying a newer/different model because when it did work it was great! not only a heater but it also is a fan. Being able to set the temperture to what you want is very convenient.

I've used one of these for two winters and love it. This year we are buying one for our daughter to use in her room. We bought a different brand locally and are sorely disappointed because you have to sit within 18" of the heater to actually feel anything.... The DeLonghi TCH6690ER has a low and high speed that truly is the perfect two speeds to warm you up. I can set this in my cold master bathroom and point it into our bedroom to warm both rooms up. It's tall enough to be effective but not so tall that it will be difficult to store over the summer. This is the second one I'm buying so that should say something!!

I have been using this product for a couple months now. It's a simple fireplace grate, so lets not get ahead of ourselves on reviews. It's steel, with a durable painted on coating. It fits my fireplace well, and the grooved cross-members seem to do a good job of making as much of the wood surface available for combustion as possible. It provides a good grip on the logs too. Seems to be extremely well made so I do not expect to have any problems with it at all.

I take full responsibility for not reading the FULL description. Although the specifications listed are exact to all outside dimensions, this grate is very lightweight and may not hold up to frequent fire usage. it is much smaller, flimsy and less useful than the 27" grate I bought a couple of years ago. I would not buy this again. Not the quality expected.

We got a great deal on this grate because it had been returned, but it was in new condition when we got it. So far it has survived more than a few fires. Next winter, we're gonna try and melt it.

Cutest candle warmer on the market. I bought them as Christmas presents last year. I got this tip from another reviewer and did an Amazon search for a cheaper replacement bulb when my mom's bulb burned out after over 1 year of daily use -GU10 120v 20w halogen light bulb. (They are 20w rather than the 25w that came with the candle warmer, but they have the same type base that fits into the warmer just fine.) Found a deal for a 6 pack of bulbs for about $6 plus shipping. I kept reading bad reviews about the bulbs not lasting. I've had no problems with my bulb, but now I have a cheaper solution when mine burns out.

I love this product however the bulb burned out and it is going to cost me $10-$15 to replace it because it says to use only the candlewarmers replacement bulb. I don't want to replace it every month. :(

This light works wonderfully. You can smell the candle all over the living room without the smoke from a flame. I bought two and one of the light bulb went out quicker than I thought it should but the other one is still going strong.

Honest reviews on Candle Warmers Etc. Signature Aurora Candle Warmer Lamp

This warmer has worked great for us since we've had it. It works on the smaller jar candles from Yankee Candle (14.5 oz), but it's perfect for the large jars (22oz). I can't speak for other candle brands since we only have Yankee Candle right now, so check before purchase.

The height from the base to the lamp is about 5 3/4" inches, so any candle near that height and under should fit fine. The lamp shade and light get really warm (of course), and the candle jar where the wax is melted will get also get really warm (shocker, right?), but the base stays cool to the touch.

Of note, the wax will liquefy, but it will not evaporate (like the wax tarts in a warmer), so with time the fragrance diminishes. When this happens, you'll have to dump out the liquefied wax. Just be careful where you pour it out. It can make a mess! If you do make a mess, I suggest letting it harden just a little bit and cleaning it while it's still warm. In my experience, that's when it's easiest to clean it off.

Overall, I recommend this as the fragrance quickly comes and it's stronger than if you light the wick. It's also more cost effective than wax tarts since you don't have to buy tea lights and wax tarts at $1 a pop. And also, no open flame!

Well, they definitely look better than the "under the candle" warmers. It also seems to get the smell out noticeably more due to the melting from the top. I'm not really sure if price is justified but it was a lot cheaper than quite a few of the others that I have found!

Haven't had any problems fitting candles either.

If you set this heater on high it will give you way too much heat for one bathroom, unless it is a bigger than average bathroom. I initially used it in my bedroom, but again, too much heat, so I now use it on the stair landing, which is open to below and it still manages to warm-up the space without the heat concentrating too much -I don't like warm spaces, I'm just looking the tone-down the cold, and this does the job very nicely... but I've gotten the same results from heaters a lot less expensive than this.

Two things to consider: it is NOT "quiet operation". The fan is actually pretty noisy I can hear it all the way down to the kitchen, when it's on I put on music to drown the fan sound.

Secondly, unless you screw it onto the wall, it will come off just by the fan vibration, and forget trying to use a hairdryer or any other appliance using the extra outlet, the hardware to hold it in place is just too flimsy. Since I don't want it as a permanent fixture, I found my own way to hold it in place (using an outlet cover -this actually works better the hardware provided) but I still put my left hand on it when I turn it on or off to keep it from jumping off the wall.

This heater is really fantastic! It mounts on a wall socket in just second, and is removable just as fast. We heat a 16 X 12 three season room with just one of these heaters! They are a little noisy on high, but once the desired temperature is reached you can turn it down to a lower setting, and maintain the rooms temperature with less noise!! I would definetly recommend this heater!!

Best Deals for Seabreeze Off the Wall ThermaFlo Bathroom Heater

I agree with the Jan 18, 2005 review; the heater does not stay in the wall outlet. It falls out when you turn the knob to turn it off/on or after a few seconds on (from vibrations). It was our second time purchasing this model; the first one from a couple of years ago did not have this problem.

Honest reviews on Seabreeze Off the Wall ThermaFlo Bathroom Heater

I had doubts that this heater could keep our bedroom warm

all night, but the gas company wanted $3000 to install a

wall heater. So we gambled on $50+ and installed the

Seabreeze. It took about three minutes to install it and

a couple of nights to find the ideal temperature setting.

Now it quietly holds the room at a comfortable temperature

all night.

This would have received five stars except for the thermostat,

which is a bit temperamental. Sometimes it would turn on the heater immediately after setting it manually to a position which turned it off.

I would rate this with minuses if I could. I used it for a short period of time, perhaps 30 or so times at the most to top off my bathroom so I could shower comfortably. This morning I tried to use it and IT BURST INTO FLAMES! SO glad I was standing right next to it when that happened! It has never been dropped or kicked or damaged or mistreated in any way. I have used many electric space heaters and never had anything like this happen before. It stank up my whole apartment and would have burned it badly if I had turned it on and walked away. Thank God I didn't with my daughter, her husband and two precious grandchildren right upstairs, I'm so glad I didn't walk away from this horrible heater after I turned it on this morning!
