I just (unfortunately) bought this heater on ebay. Luckily I didn't pay a lot for it. The heater has trouble keeping the set temperature and there is NO factory warranty that comes with it. It's pretty bad when the manufacturer won't even put a warranty on their product. If you buy anything on ebay, check it out at AMAZON first to see how its rated. It might help you save some money.

realize that all electric heaters put out a max of a little more than 5000 btu's per their 1500 watt rating. so do not be fooled into spending more on features to get nothing. it is good to have a thermostat for auto temperature control but beyond that money is wasted on remote controls and the like. up to 50 dollars for a fan forced or oil filled heater with thermostat is the sensible way to go.

I love my Thermoflo Smart Heat Heater. Once it has gotten the room to a comfortable temperature it is very quiet. Even when it is just starting to heat up a cold room it is quieter than most other heaters with a fan. I live in a one bedroom apt. and when it is really cold I just point it more in the direction of the room that I am in at the time. It was only designed to do one room but I did just fine with one heater and 2+ rooms all winter. And yes it is nice even warmth, no cold spots.

I also like that it is small and lightweight enough to take with me wherever I go.

Seabreeze SOH7000TA works similar to Vornado heaters. Both of these are "no glow" fan based heaters which heats up the room by circulating the air. Both Seabreeze and Vornado heaters are high priced heaters compared to Holmes, Honeywell, Lasko brands etc. It is not made in China like other heaters. I believe this is made in Canada and Vornados are made in USA. So you pay higher price compared to other brands.

Pros: It raises the temperature of a room in just 30 to 45 minutes compared to the brand I mentioned above. It is ideal for use wherever zone-heating is required. It is whisper quiet. Instead of an Oscillating feature, it has a sweeping feature, which sweeps warm air across the room. The heating element does not glow so it is safe around kids and pets. Includes many safety features; and it automatically reduces heat output as the room's comfort level is reached; and finally, it does not dry up the air like ceramic heaters. Some compare this to ceramic heaters expecting a instant radiant/fire place type output.

Cons: Controls are not digital; does not have a three-prong plug but it has a polarized plug.

This heater was bought to replace an old Vornado, and we have been using it for just one day. However, it is doing such a terrific job, that I feel confident in writing this review even after so little time. We are using the ThermaFlo in our living room, and as a bonus it is also heating the adjacent dining room. I should mention that our house is a small rowhouse that was built in the 1840s, so we are talking about probably 300 square feet, but as an old house, it is very drafty, and the heater is keeping those rooms at a steady 71 degrees. (We did as suggested by the company, and lowered the thermostat on our central heating.) The ThermaFlo is extremely quiet, and the heat is absolutely even in all part of the rooms. We could not be happier with this purchase.

I live in Montana where the weather can get to -40 below in winter. I have used this type heater in my bedroom for the past five years and just bought an extra even though the old one is fine.

I have cut my heat bill by $100 a month with this heater as I can shut the rest of the house to 60 degrees at night and use this just in the bedroom -it is all it is promised to be.

While researching heaters, I kept reading about heaters where corners were being cut on what were formally standard safety features (i.e. a working tip over power cutoff switch).

You'll notice a common thread on most inexpensive heaters that on one or two start reviews you see mention of episodes like: "It started smoking / throwing sparks / nearly burned my house down good thing I was there". This was a small percentage of most cheap heaters (like the one and two star reviews) but even if it's happening say 7% of the time, that's something to be concerned about.

Hence my quest:

I decided I wanted something quality and safe. Not the cheapest. Did a lot of research, ordered this. Have had it for almost two weeks. I have this in a small bedroom 9 X 12 feet. When the heater initially starts, you don't have this focused blast. But within 3 minutes on a moderately chill mid-October evening the entire room is * evenly * filled with heat. The fan is there but it does not have a harsh timbre (is not obnoxious to the ears). I actually find the fan "noise" a bit comforting. It's certainly quieter than my Lasko ceramic heater. Admittedly the Lasko cost me more like 40 dollars about 7 years ago and it's fine for what it is.

The controls on the seabreeze are simplicity itself: A red orange LED lit on/off rocker "button" switch. The LED is not overly bright which is good. The thermostat is just a rotary dial type affair. The good news: The thermostat is accurate. Also, since this heater is designed for a sort of semi-variable output (I believe it toggles one or both of the heating elements on or off as needed) it doesn't seem to have that constant on-off thing like my other heater has. It's more laid back / transitional. The other part of what's causing that felt effect is this heater has motorized louvers (slats) that cycle back and forth.

Quality of heat: Very even. The room doesn't feel brutally dried out. This heater has a good "throw" i.e. after about 2 minutes if I stand 8 feet away from it that whole area feels evenly heated.

I'm giving this five stars at this time.

P.S. If you order from Ace hardware thru Amazon in hopes of getting the candy red top colored version it comes in black just the same.

_____________________________________

UPDATE 12/24/2012:

It's over 2 months later and we still love the heater. It only turns on the part (i.e. 1/2) of the unit that needs to be on. Turns on both halves if it has to do a lot of catching up to the set temperature. Relatively quiet. The settings are as straightforward and simple as can be.

UPDATE 1/13/2013: Still like it.

No bad. Solid construction. My main need, though, was to sit here in the basement and not go up to nuke my coffee in the microwave avery ten minutes to keep my sips warm.

Ok, so this product actually topped my list for my husband this year. When going for a product that is used everyday (for coffee and tea drinkers) this one takes it full swing. He loved its features and its geek appeal. It is very nice quality and the red strip around it is actually quite comfortable and slip proof. Nice. The plugs work just as advertised, and it keeps coffee warm in the car (and desk) on winter days..

The only downside we saw to the mug was the lid is push on vs screw on, so there is the possibility it could spill or leak if knocked over that being said, we have been using it for about a month now, no spills.

Overall a great product. Great quality mug. Great features.

Honest reviews on Dual USB & 12V Heated Mug - BLUE

This is one of those products that will be can be rated anywhere from 1 to 5 depending on your needs. Assuming this product doesn't break, it will serve it's purpose for me. The USB DOES NOT keep coffee piping hot for an extended period of time, but when there is piping hot coffee going in, I can enjoy it for about the next hour. By the end of that hour it not hot as originally was, but still hot enough to be called hot. My cup of coffee is normally gone after an hour anyway. The heating mechanism basically serves the purpose of slowing down the natural heat loss from the cup of java. I hate the microwave, so I was looking for an at work solution to this age old dilema. I brought one of those insertable coils that broke on the first cup, so I'm hoping this doesn't break. So there is basically a progressive decrease in temperature over an hour or two, but 45 minutes later, I was still satisfied with a "relatively" warm-hot cup of coffee. If you need it piping hot as the initial minute or two, you might be disappointed. But I really hate when my coffee gets lukewarm, and I only need the heat for and hour or less, and until scientists invent a better solution, this will have to do. Oh, and I don't think this cup will turn likewarm coffee to hot or even nice and warm. Good looking cup though............

Not only does this mug keep drinks warm for quite some time on its own, but it reheats drinks that have gone cold. Ten minutes down the road with the charger plugged in, and your coffee/latte/tea is hot again -almost too hot, so be careful! Also, this mug fits in my VERY narrow cup holder without demanding that I wrestle it free to drink. I'd say 5 stars, except the charger imbued the packaged mug with a yucky petroleum smell that took some work to get out of the mug and lid (and is still there on the charger, but how do I wash that??).

I've been using this to cook Chinese Herbal Medicine for a few months now. I used to use a ceramic pot to cook the medicine. This unit is much easier to cook. You plug and let it do its job. The ceramic pot is easier to clean and costs $5.99. This unit you cannot put into a dishwasher due to electronic components being part of the unit. One time I was rinsing the unit trying to clean it and the water got onto the base and the unit stop working for 24 hours ... until it was dry again. Normally this does not happen if you clean it carefully.

This unit works by cooking the medicine until the water level drops to a certain point. Then it switches to warm mode. This often takes 1.5 to 2 hours for the medicine I cook. However the herbalist whom I get my medicine from says to cook it only for 30 minutes after it boils and not to exceed 40 minutes. Well since he is an OMD, and a former professor of the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I'll take his word for it. I have to use kitchen timer and then un-plug this unit after 45 minutes (15 minutes before it boils + 30 minutes of boil).

I just got one of these at a local herb store (mine is the Chinese model ss-3040 but is exactly the same thing as the NY636). After using it once I can tell several things right away:

1) overall it's well made and looks nice (nice thick glaze over the ceramic with some cute calligraphy on the front).

2) there is very little circuitry inside so there is less to fail but at the same time the unit is "dumb". It will just keep boiling until the water level drops enough to expose the top of the stainless steel heater element (which rises about maybe 1-2 inches from the bottom) then will switch to keep warm. After boiling it seems you are left with around 2 cups of liquid.

3) much easier to deal with (IMHO) than boiling herbs in a ceramic double-lid "ginseng cooker". Just plug in and let it go (after adding your pre-washed herbs and water, of course).

4) it is not suited for aromatic herbs or herbs with high volatile oil content as steam escapes through both the pouring spout (which I covered with a small piece of tin foil until I find something better to use) and a small hole (perhaps around .5 cm) on the lid. Actually covering the spout may just make it take longer to cook as the liquid would evaporate slower...

5) as previous poster mentioned, you need a kitchen/electric timer! You can't manually switch to keep warm (with a button or switch, etc) you need to remove/stop the power. The little front lights are indicators only, not switches or button. Some herbs/formulas you just can't let cook like the cooker is meant to, however most you probably can if you balance the water and herbs correctly, and know what your doing. Ask your TCM doctor, which I am not (yet). Also consult a good Materia Medica for herbs in question. With a timer this could also be used for other (related) purposed liked Chinese Medicated Diet therapies, etc, but a hot pot may work better in many cases that require very slow cooking.

Other notes: as it says in the manual, once the heat has switched to keep warm don't let your tea sit for more than 2 hours as the herbs may soak up some of the active ingredients you just decocted as they dry.

One last thing, it does come with a 1-year warranty (or so the company claims), so keep your receipt and box. While it is made in China, it's distributor is in CA (so no you won't have to ship to China for warranty issues).

All that aside, get one... they look cool :D

I am told to put in 4 cups of water with my herbs and then when it is done and both lights are on, it should have cooked it down to be 1 cup. However, it has never has given me 1 cup. It used to give me 3/4 cup but now it just gives me a 1/2 cup so it is cooking it longer each time. (I have now read the other reviews and see I have to unplug it versus trust it to do what it is supposed to do.) The other issue is that now it needs 24 hours to "cool" before I can reuse it as when I plug it back in, both lights stay on and it won't go into cook mode. It therefore doesn't work properly. I have probably only used it 8 times so I am really disappointed with the quality.

Per the Amazon description, the purpose of this product is to bring your wine to the optimum temperature for drinking enjoyment. It does that very well.

It seems that this particular Waring model and the less expensive Waring model are getting such poor ratings due to unreasonable expectations of the raters. One of the complaints is that it takes too long to do the job. If you put a bottle of 75 F champagne in your refrigerator, it would probably take a couple of hours to bring it down to 40 F. You could put it in the freezer or an ice water bath and it would cool it much faster. But with any of these methods, how do you know when it has reached the correct temperature?

Depending on the temperature differential, it could take anywhere from 10 to 90 minutes to bring your wine to the correct temperature. You just need to plan a little bit in advance.

Yes, it is noisy. It is more annoying than loud. If your place is completely quiet, you will notice it. However, if you have some background noise such as music, you probably will not hear it.

Even if you already are using a dual-temperature wine cabinet to keep your wine, since you can only set it for two temperatures, it probably won't be at the optimum drinking temperature when you take it out. So this chiller/warmer would still be useful.

Since I own and like this product, I thought I would add my opinion to the mix. Yes, it is not the quietest appliance ever created. That's because it's not using a compressor like a fridge. The trade-off is that it's extremely energy efficient. Besides, this is a corded appliance so it's not meant to sit on your dining room table; it sits in the kitchen with your other semi-noisy food appliances.

People also complain that it's not quick to chill your wine. Well, they clearly have never owned a thermoelectric product. It's well-known that you are not supposed to put a bottle of wine kept at 70-80 Fahrenheit (in your kitchen) into a wine chiller and expect instant results. The efficiency of a thermoelectric product is based upon many factors: ambient room temperature and starting wine temperature, primarily.

First of all, wine should be kept at 45-55 Fahrenheit. That is the proper storage temperature; period. If you are not doing that already, why you would need this device is beyond me. Who cares if your wine is served at the proper temperature if you ruined it by storing it improperly? So let's say you aren't made of money, and you can only afford a 6-30 bottle wine storage fridge. You are forced to keep a case of your favorite ready-to-drink wine in the coolest part of your basement (60-65 Fahrenheit or so). 25 minutes before you need it, throw the bottle in the fridge for 10 minutes and then stick it in this puppy for the remainder. You will have your wine at the proper serving temperature in no time.

A little bit of RTFM and common sense go a long way. Don't expect miracles from a consumer level product, and you'll quickly see how to make the best use out of them. Do you really think that your favorite high-end restaurant with the visually appealing wine display has 20 of these in a back room somewhere? Of course not. They spend a pretty penny to store and serve wine at the proper temperature. Any sommelier that would allow anything else needs to be fired on the spot.

I would have maybe given this 4 stars, but clearly someone needs to give it 5 to offset reviewers with unrealistic expectations.

Best Deals for Waring Pro RPC175 Professional Wine Chiller/Warmer

I have had this product for about 8 months. I have used it many times over the last 8 months. It chills the wine but It takes too long to get the wine chilled. When I use it I plan ahead and put the bottle in the refrigerator for a while then I use the wine chiller to get the wine to the recommended temperature. This cuts down on the time it takes to chill the wine. Another drawback is that the chiller is kind of noisy.

If you have pay full price for this product I might think twice about buying it.

Honest reviews on Waring Pro RPC175 Professional Wine Chiller/Warmer

As others have said, it takes forever to chill a bottle of wine. If you're like 98% of wine drinkers, you want something like this for those times when you've picked up a bottle at a store and would like to drink it soon. Based on the owner's manual, expect to chill a bottle of white for at least an hour. For champagne, expect to wait about 90 mins. A fridge or freezer will do the same work in a fraction of the time making this thing utterly pointless. I don't think it's unrealistic to expect a wine chiller to actually chill wine in under an hour.

Holmes HRH314 MaxFlow Radiant Heater Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I ordered this heater from Amazon to have a little additional warmth in our home office during the chilly winter months. The heat output was far less than expected, and did not seem able to significantly warm the not terribly large (12x10) space. I was also a little disturbed when the unit was accidentally tipped one night and did NOT turn itself off. Fortunately I was in the room when this happened and no harm was done. The real problem though is the heater simply stopped producing heat after 3 weeks of very light use in one room. The fan would blow, but the coils would not heat, turning the device into a fan, rather than a heater. I'm definitely steering clear of Holmes heaters now while searching for my replacement heater. Not at all recommended.

This is the 3rd winter I have had this stove, and my wife and I are very impressed as to how it has performed. Our family room is in the rear of our house (added on), and it has always been difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature. Since I didn't have either natural gas or propane at my house, I researched everything carefully before my purchase. I ended up having my local propane company provide a 100 gallon tank (it usually lasts at least a full year), and I installed a flexible gas line to the new location. It was actually pretty simple for anyone who is handy with tools.

Since the installation, we have found we can decrease the thermostat setting for our house furnace a full 5 degrees and be perfectly comfortable in the family room. There was a noticeable drop in our overall heating costs the past 3 years. When you add that to the ambiance of having a fireplace, and the fact that there is no mess involved, this is one of my best purchases.

I live in the mountains of Colorado and needed a natural gas heater solution. After searching the internet, this stove seemed to meet my needs due to its high BTU rating, nice looks and some comments made by folks on various websites. However, once installed, it did not work. After several calls to customer service, it turned out that this stove does not work over 4,500 feet elevation (I am at 7,000 ft). Nowhere did it say this anywhere in all of the sales brochures published nor on anyone's website. Customer service did say it this information was posted on their website. However, I did not buy it from their website. Anyone who lives at higher altitude should avoid this product.

I was concerned if this would work at my home at 7,800 feet. It was very difficult to heat above 60 degrees with large windows in the front of the house. Another reviewer gave it a single star for not working at 7,000 ft. and mentioned he was using Natural Gas which may have been his problem. I have a 500 gallon LP tank and use it for central heat and the kitchen stove. Propane is under a higher pressure than Natural Gas. It worked so well I installed one heater in my bedroom. I have it at the lowest heat setting when it is 18 degrees outside at night. I no longer need my electric blanket and my dog loves sleeping in front of it.

One of these stoves is the Living Room under a large picture window. It works like a charm. I no longer close the blinds and have a great view of the snow capped mountains around the house. This raised my living room 15 degrees in a lttle over an hour. I did not purchase the blower for the unit since I have ceiling fans. I just turned them to rotate clockwise and the air is "sucked up" and distributed around the room. I no longer heat the whole house but just the rooms I use.

After getting out of the shower in the morning I can wear a towel while roaming around the house still dripping wet, make coffee and take my time getting dressed before going out into the snow to get my newspaper and clearing the driveway.

After all the work it is nice to have these "space" heaters keeping me warm in previously "cold" rooms.

Honest reviews on ProCom Dual Fuel Stove - 25,000 BTU, Model# QD250T

I purchased an antique home in the summer and was told the floor furnace was great by the inspector. When winter came, after the house filled with gas TWICE had to disconnect. After a winter with no heat (and of course no water since pipes freeze), I was a VERY motivated buyer. This little stove (with the blower) sits in my living room. The 1100 sq. ft. house has no other heat system. Even when temperatures drop to below 0, my house is toasty warm. Because my house has doors and halls all over the place, I do place a floor fan in front of the hall from the living room towards the bedrooms. This helps move the warm air into the bedrooms and bathroom. Houses of similar size and from the same time period with central heat on my block run around 150 dollars a month to heat in the winter. My house runs between 20 and 35 dollars a month. The temperature is kept on 55 when I am gone during the day and 70 at night. However, it only takes a short time for the little stove to warm up the place. Also, I have hard wood floors. My stove doesn't sit on a platform of any kind. There has been no damage to the floor in the 6 years the vent free stove has been heating my home. A bonus is that the heat dries clothes on a little wood drying rack within hours. This saves money, is "green", and puts some humidity back into the house. Another added bonus is the flickering of the flames. They are just a delight to watch dancing after the lights are out on a cold winter's night.

I bought this two months ago and finally had it installed today. I cannot say enough how great this little stove is! We bought it for a renovated basement area for warmth and ambiance and it gives plenty of both. We did not purchase the blower because the room is only 400 sq ft, and I can say for sure now, it wasn't needed for us. The instant heat filters out at a pretty decent pace and the room is warm within minutes.

I put this together on my own with no problems, and the install went smoothly. I chose this based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on other websites and also because of the price. Our installer was very impressed with it and plans to recommend it to others as well.

Best of all, it is very attractive. Before it was even installed we had it sitting out during a party and it became a topic of admiring conversation: our guests asked us to invite them back to enjoy the fireplace after the install.

I noticed an earlier reviewer that was angry mentioned receiving a different model, and I want to point out, we ordered from this seller but the fireplace is slightly different than the picture above. But fret not I think it's much nicer! There is no 'ProCom' logo on the front. I was happy about this because I thought it looked a little cheap with that. So I have to say I am 100% happy!

****** Update

We've now had this in use every day for a few weeks. It is in our basement, and we have found that it is not 'overwhelmingly hot' in our space because much of the hot air rushes up the stairs and is also heating the first floor of our home, so we've hardly even had to run the home furnace at all. It makes all the rooms feel comfortable and cozy. WOW. I can't wait to see how much this lowers our winter gas bill!

Reviews of Honeywell - SureSet 1500W Digital Oscillating Ceramic Heater, Black

Customer Ratings:

This is a reliable space heater that puts out a fair amount of heat. The thermostat controls work (more or less) like any other heater -whatever you select, when the temperature around the heater reaches that level, the unit shuts off. As long as you don't expect it to correctly monitor room temperature, you're fine. We have had ours for a couple of years now and after about 18 mos the oscillating gears started falling apart, making clicking noises and leaving little pieces of plastic behind. It is still usable but not with oscillation. It is also noisy (loud fan) and is only used by us as a backup heater when other options are not available (ie one of our radiant flat panels died).

Seems like a great product and value. However, they made the shelves too close together. It does hold the smallest bottles of wine, but many "Standard" bottles (Dancing Bull, Rancho Zabbaco, etc) don't fit unless they are jammed in and then you can't get them back out without unloading the whole thing. Don't waste your time and get a model that is more versatile. As if insult to injury, the thermostat didn't work either but that was probably a fluke.

I bought this wine cooler after reading some good reviews. It was a complete waste of time and money, the wine cooler worked for about 4 hours and then this uncontrolled beeping noise would continueoulsy play. I unplugged the unit and tried resetting it but the noise was still there when I plugged it back in. I called the company and all they said was it might be the control board. How does a wine cooler die after 4 hours.

My boyfriend bought this wine refrigerator for me as a birthday gift on a total whim. It was a fantastic, unexpected present and has so far worked perfectly for me. I've never owned a wine cooler previous to this one, but I do live in a smaller apartment, so it's compact size is exactly what I needed. As another review stated, the shelves are kind of close together preventing the BIGGER wine bottles from fitting side-by-side, however all standard wine bottles will fit. I tend to buy the larger bottles of Barefoot Moscato, in which case I simply remove one shelf for the time being. Personally, I'm not at the point where I've collected dozens of wines and will RARELY have more than 12 bottles at one time to fill this fridge anyway. All in all, it's a fantastic product that chills wines perfectly and fits just about anywhere. :)

We just received our wine cooler, but can't get the temperature to stay at the coolest setting. Any advice? It did not come with an instruction manual.

I had this wine cooler for about 6 months before the temperature control stopped working and would not go below 68 degrees. I thought maybe the room was too warm, so I refrigerated a few bottles to see if it would at least maintain the current temperature, but within a few hours, those bottles were warm as well.

I tried contacting Amazon, who pointed me in the direction of the manufacturer, who of course, did not bother responding.

I am very disappointed and do not recommend this product. I will never purchase from this manufacturer again.

I gave it 2 stars because it was relatively quiet and compact.

I ordered the 2ton Amvent unit to cool my garage/shop, which is roughly 1ksqft. I am very happy with the performance. It's nice and quiet, and seems to have plenty of cooling power. Installation was a breeze, even on my own. It could be tough if you don't have good access to the location you're mounting it to, or if you plan to mount it really high up on the wall. I did have to drill through stucco on the exterior wall, which was the hardest part for me. I was able to setup a vacuum pump on the supply lines, though I'm not sure I used 100% proper process for that whole purge step. I wish they had detailed out the process a bit more for the DIYer. I was a bit surprised at the sheer size of the external unit, so be sure to double check those specs if you have any fancy mounting in mind. This type of AC setup is very nice, and I'm happy I found this before ordering a portable unit that I don't believe could have any chance of comparing. There is not much you can do wrong, except leaving a leak in the supply lines, so don't be afraid to take this on!

I love it, After 2 summers in this house with central air in only the bedrooms, no ductwork in half the house (baseboard hot water heat for half the house) and no windows that I could put any window unit in (all swing out windows). I was resigned to the fact that I was going to have to put a sleeve unit in. Extra expense of cutting and framing not to mention weatherizing. I wasn't keen on the idea of listening to the hum of a compressor in my dining room all summer. This unit cools my kitchen, dining room, living room and foyer without breaking a sweat (approximatley 1200 sqft). It was easy to install but you will either need to know how to do electrical work or hire an electrician. A 3" hole to run the lines was a lot nicer than a 2' x 3' hole in the wall. There's a little noise from the fan but not the kind I can't live with. It would have cost several thousand dollars to install a central air unit and I installed this in one day for a fraction of the cost. I never heard of Amvent before but I'm impressed with how this works and the amount of money I saved compared to buying a brand name unit!

We purchased two of these units and I have to tell you they are absolutely awesome.

One side note you will need an air conditioning tech to come and install the hoses if you plan on doing it right and vacuuming out the moisture in the lines.

Our tech added valves on the end to allow us to be able to service them in the future and that addition was well worth the cash spent.

If you are looking for a great unit at an inexpensive price these guys will perform all day long and never leave you with an issue.

Honest reviews on Amvent 24000 BTU 2 Ton Ductless Wall Mount Mini Split Room Air

The 24,000 btu unit keeps my 700 sq foot dining/living/kitchen area nice and cool on a 90 degree day! May or may not do a larger area? I expected it to be ovepowered for my space but it's really just about right. I've got cathedral ceilings and a generally hot house though, I'm sure makes a difference.

My fiance installed it in just over half a day. The installation itself really only took about 2 hours, he was running around to various stores trying to find parts for the rest of the time. The only component of the installation that he really complalined about was bending the copper pipe since the way he put it in needed a 90 deg turn and the size of the pipe was not standard to most of the pipe-bending tools he found in local stores. I think he eventually just got ticked off, wrapped the thing around his arm, and somehow managed to bend it without a kink. Everything else in the installation seemed to go pretty smoothly. He's a contracter/builder though, so not sure it would be that easy for everybody to install.

I couldn't be happier with the results, for just over $1000 I've got something that works nearly as well as central air and didn't even have to hire an HVAC guy to install it since the freon was already primed. It's quiet enough noticible but not intrusive. Easily the best purchase I've made all year!! Beats the heck out of my old window/wall units.

After buying this almost over a year ago..I finally got to having it installing into my country home. What a difference. Cools as expected maybe even better. Installer had it done in 2 hours including wiring it into my auto transfer switch so that it will run on my auto standby generator. Interior fan noise could be improved however it moves a lot of air so its a fair trade off.
