Max Burton 12 Volt 150/300W Ceramic Heater And Fan Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This not the cheapest, but not the most expensive electric 12 volt heater. I use it to heat a mid size sedan, with no heater. It does not do much in the cigarette lighter socket, but if you use some 14 or 12 gauge wire to directly connect it to the battery you get a lot more. Not like a house hold 1500 watt ceramic heater, but it will get noticeably warmer in a short time. Remember electric heat is instant, no waiting for your engine to warm up. It draws about 25 amps in 300 watt mode. You can always spend more and go for the 1100 watt heater but for where I live there will not be enough cold weather to justify that kind of money.

Check to make sure your car's alternator can produce enough amps to power the heater

I am not terribly happy with this fan/heater. I have solar panels, batteries and controller and the heater only works on low without blowing a fuse. I am sure it would be fine in a truck or auto, but I don't own a vehicle.

This heater seems to have a lot of safety features but with no thermostat it is pretty much useless for using in a bedroom while sleeping, or anywhere else where you would want a constant temperature.

It warms. But, it missed an important feature -it does not have power adjustor, with which people can select the rigth power depending on the temperature. Thus, it can't be used during sleep time when people can't adjust its power manually.

Discount Holmes HM1865-U Comfort Select Cool Mist Humidifier

Customer Ratings:

I've had a number of humidifiers and this one fairs favorably to most. First, it uses a cool air wick rather than a sonicator (which puts the water contaminants on your furniture and in your lungs) or a heater (which is inefficient, gets horrible mineral buildup which is very difficult to clean, and can cause fire hazards). It has a huge tank. And it has a humidistat so you can just turn it on and forget about it, aside from refilling it every day or two. It will get the humidity where you want it not too dry, not too humid. For these reasons, I recommend this unit.

The downsides: It is not as nice as the model it replaced (which I also have) which looks almost exactly the same. The controls and display are a little less obvious they added more functionality with too few buttons. That is easily dealt with by deciding how you want to use it and then always putting it in that mode. I like to set the fan to low or medium (so it is nice and quiet and you hardly hear it) and then set the humidity to 30, 35, or 40. As others here have mentioned, the hygrometer is a bit flaky. At times it is stable. At times it jumps around a bit. This can lead the system to turn on and off in response to changes in the measured humidity. It still gets the humidity to roughly what you set it to (as I've verified with a separate hygrometer). And if you don't have the fan set too high, you don't really notice that it turns on and off a bit more than it needs to. Mine has not turned on and off in short succession that frequently, although sometimes it does. It doesn't appear to impact its efficacy or accuracy, although if the fan is high and the room is quiet, it might really bug some people on the occassions it cuts on and off. Some people here report more aggressive cycling than I've observed. Sunbeam really should fix this and ponder a user interface tweak. The improvement over the previous model is that it continuously reports the hygrometer reading, which is really nice.

I'm giving this 4 stars because I still greatly prefer this over all the other humidifiers I've ever owned (and about the same as the model this one obsoleted).

For those saying they aren't sure if it humidifies their room, get a hygrometer. You know, those digital temperature/humidity sensors with the LCD panel. I have one from Honeywell. This humidifier is able to keep my humidity at 40% in a LOFT apartment in Nebraska winters. We're talking below zero, frozen and humidity in the teens without a humidifier. In a single level apartment, it can get us to 50% but I keep it at 45. It is about twice as capable as a warm mist humidifier that can't get the room above 30%. PLUS, the warm one requires about 230w of electricity to run vs about 30w for the fan in this one. PLUS, the heater block in the warm mist unit must be soaked in white vinegar and have the minerals scraped off of it periodically. Pain in the butt, and not worth it.

The downside? The filter must be washed in a bucket of soap water every so often or it accumulates pink/black mold and smells funny. It won't hurt you, but it is unpleasant. That's the only reason I don't give it 5 stars.

I like the automatic setting. I want 45%? It will hold it there. That way I don't have to touch the thing until its running empty.

Use distilled water ONLY for the best results, as with all humidifiers.

Best Deals for Holmes HM1865-U Comfort Select Cool Mist Humidifier

Pros:

-Humidifies large rooms for a low price.

-Auto humidity regulation (great for our guitars which need ~45% all the time)

Cons:

-I have exclusively used Brita distilled water on this, and the filter still needs to be cleaned/changed at least once a month.

Other thoughts:

-We fill the tank once every three days to keep a 300 sq ft room humidified at 45%

-We have three acoustic guitars that we can leave out and not worry about with the regulator

-We had to get used to the continual on/off's throughout the day because we run it on "Auto 1" at 45% humidity

Cleaning the filter:

-Place the filter in the sink or bucket, fill with warm water, add some bleach (and stir), let sit for 15 minutes, rinse with cold water, stick back in humidifier damp

Honest reviews on Holmes HM1865-U Comfort Select Cool Mist Humidifier

No, it is not the quietest humidifier on the block, but its no worse than a box fan in the window in the summer. I find it very effective at doing its job and it is easy to maintain. With regular use and recommended filter changes, mold is not an issue and it removes some of the dust from the air. The only reason I'm replacing it is because I damaged the one I've had for 3 years when I moved. Getting another one just like it.

I've owned 6 or 7 of these humidifiers over the years. From the days when they had plain dial controls (just speeds 1, 2, & 3) to the current digital models where you set a target humidity and the unit reaches that, senses that, and turns off. This current digital model allows for 'simple control'... i.e. speed 1, speed 2, speed 3, or "automatic versions" of the three speeds, with a built in humidistat ... and that's where the trouble is.

It's a roll of the dice... some unit's work properly, some reach the humidity you set (by pressing the up/down button), then incredibly annoyingly, start to cycle on and off every 30 seconds or so. IT WILL DRIVE YOU CRAZY.

This behavior will go on for hours and seems to be completely random. Somedays it works properly, some days not. I have to guess faulty components (welcome to the world of products you can no longer trust).

However. it's relatively quiet (I've owned at least ten different medium sized room models & this one's the best), and it really does a nice job on a roughly 15 x15 room (225 sq. ft. or so). It'll work fine in a smaller room, but go more than a foot or two larger, & you'll be filling this one twice a day.

One of my 2 current models is "afflicted" and so I have to run it in normal mode, I can't choose the automatic settings at all, the other works normally.

In my personal experience about 60% of these models have the humidistat problem, so if that's important to you, I'd look at another model. If not, compared to other similar models, it's actually a very good humidifier.

This fireplace is fabulous! It arrived sooner than promised and in perfect condition. All I did was remove it from the carton and plug it in. It is a very solid, "real" fireplace. The fire is amazing. I stare at it and can't get over how realistic it is. The heat is optional which is great in Hawaii. The remote serves all my needs.

I needed additional heating in my bedroom and this fit in the existing old fireplace perfectly! I was so excited because it looked so nice and couldn't wait to plug it in and get it going. Then, as we attempted to use the remote, or find control panels on this Yosemite model, we resorted to the instruction manual. The manual did not even match the heater. The remote described in the manual was not the remote with the unit. The control panel described in the manual was not on the heater, nor was there any control panel. Then I found white tape over a certain section of the manual. I held it up to the window to be able to read through it and it was the name of a company in China that made the heater and the directions to the street and building where it was manufactured. Someone had tried to hide that! There was an on/off button, that's all. We couldn't even get it to turn on! I feel like this was the same deal as the individual that bought a Coach purse at a "deal" online, and it was a fake made in China. Except this heater was expensive, and I believe I was sent a fake! I repackaged this heavy thing and I have asked Amazon to reimburse me.

Customer Ratings:

Once you get it together it looks and works great. The instructions are horrible and we had to cut the metal brackets that hold the fire place to the hearth. They were to big and the hearth would not sit flush around the insert otherwise. Also you need to build the hearth around the fireplace insert. There is absolutely no way to insert it and put the brackets on it after the hearth is built. So before you put the top part of the hearth on, install the fireplace part and then finsh by adding the top piece.

The dark brown espresso color adds a nice touch to my bedroom furniture which is also dark brown. After you assemble all the parts together that took almost 45 minutes, you will definitely see your moneys worth. It took almost two weeks for it to be delivered in two parts.

It took the manufacturers to tell me that there are two deliveries. If there are any questions or concerns, please call the manufacturers directly. Trust me...you wont be sorry.

I love this fireplace but there are 2 manuals (one for the wooden parts and one for the fireplace itself). Given that they are separated we started with the one related to the wooden parts and we missed one step of the second manual, hence we had to disassemble or just keep going. We just kept going (we skip the step that prevents the fireplace itself from being pulled, so we hope nobody want to pull it :).

AROMA AFR-120B Hot X-Press Milk Frother Review

Customer Ratings:

I normally buy my lattes, but decided to try this to make some at home. Although I didn't have any stronger coffee's I just used a normal peet's coffee and mixed it with the frothed milk. All I can say is I love it. The black top part of the frother is mainly plastic, the inner cup that holds the milk (only 1 cup) is a non stick surface and is easy to clean. It comes with 2 attachments, one for lattes and one for cappuccinos. Operation is easy, pour milk in to the line that says latte or cappuccino. Put plastic clear lid on, press button 1, 2, or 3 times depending on hot, med, cold and that's it. the grey base with the plug stays on the table while the black handled portion just lifts off so it's easy to use. then just wash and wipe the non stick surface and it's ready again. The plug is short though, maybe 2.5' at most. So if you like the taste of the steamed milk at starbucks this does almost the same thing and the foam looked legit. Recommend it for home coffee enthusiasts.

I bought this item with the intention of making lattes. The latte attachment is terrible, it barely froths milk. I just end up with a thin layer of foam and warm milk. I gave this item three stars because the cappuccino attachment is okay, it creates some nice foam. I bought this for convenience, but I think I'll go back to my stovetop steamer. I'm returning this.

I have found this heater to be easy to operate and very reliable. If you put it in a safe spot with it on a non flammable base you can use it in the house. I have been running the heater on Bio-Diesel, burns great, no toxic fumes, you just filter the Bio-diesel before putting it in the tank.

The heater is a little loud, however if you are trying to save on your heating bill it is worth the inconvenience.

I got the heater over 2 weeks ago. The heater itself I would give 5 stars. The heater works just as advertised. The variable btu control works good and the thermostat does a good job of controlling on / off to maintin a good working temperature in my garage. Now the bad part. The propane hose that is supplied with the unit is junk! It is like a recoil spring that will not straighten out even when warmed. So bad that I will be replacing it with a better quality hose. I wrote to Mr. Heater over a week ago giving them a chance to make it right. I asked them to send me a better quality hose. Not even an email reply, And of course, no hose. If I had to rate the hose separately it would not get any stars. If you want a good heater, by all means buy this one but be prepared to replace the hose.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program UPDATE: Days are now colder and I am demanding more of my foot heater. The Fellowes Heat & Slide Footrest doesn't do an adequate job of keeping my feet warm (I have to slide my foot around the footrest to find the heat). On the flip side, my favorite foot heater (Vornado, see below), does an excellent job of keeping my feet warm (& I love the fan). I've down-rated the Fellowes from 3 stars to 1 star. Spend your money on the Vornado & you won't be disappointed.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

I LOVE a good Foot Heater & have been using the Vornado EH1-0039-06 225-Watt SoleAire Foot Rest and Personal Space Heater for the past 3 years in my office. The Vornado has a fan & does a great job of distributing heat. The only drawback of the Vornado is that it has a fixed foot position & if you try to move the footrest, sometimes the rubber feet with come off & you have to bend down to put them back in.

This Fellowes Foot Heater does not have a built in fan & warms your feet with a gentle warmth that takes a little time to get warm once you turn it on. The heat seems to come from the middle (around your foot arch) & mine seems to be warmer on my left foot side. The foot heater does an OK job but you have to be shoe-free to enjoy the gentle warmth that this machine provides.

The Fellowes heater gives the user the ability to adjust their foot position, which is a nice feature. However, the heater moves fairly easily, so it seems that I am constantly adjusting my foot position & sometimes have to bend down under my desk to adjust it by hand.

I have let the "time" expire on the foot heater a couple of times. When that happens, the red button flashes. The first time this happened, I simply pushed the flashing button & it stopped. The second time, I had to unplug the unit a couple of times before I could get the button to stop flashing.

I will use this Fellowes heater in my home office because it is here. If I had to choose the Vornado over the Fellowes (price not a factor), I would choose the Vornado without hesitation.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The Fellowes Heat and Slide Footrest is no beauty to look at, so if you can hide this black and gray plastic footrest, that's for the best. It snaps into place very quickly and includes four floor protectors to keep from marring the floor or denting the carpet too badly. The knobby textured surface for one's feet looks like a blown up toad's back but the bumpy protrusions do feel pretty good on one's soles.

The heat is pretty subtle, as you can feel some warmth but not so much as to make you dance about. In fact, the best aspect is that you turn it on and just forget about it. I tend to slide it back and forth a bit, so I hope the plastic channels are durable. The automatic off setting for the heater is a thoughtful default.

I expect as the days cools down, there may be some degree of competition between the cats and me for using this footrest, and if it holds up, this footrest is a nice creature comfort. Be careful not to use it to peer into the upper reaches of a closet or top of a bookcase---this footrest will buckle and bend under any real weight.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My office is located in the corner part of a building and three sides are brick walls. Fall and Winters are terribly cold. It is so cold that I have a portable heater always blowing on me. Since I got the Fellowes Heat and Slide Footrest, the days for double socks are long gone. The Fellowes Heated Footrest Provides heat on top and below the footrest. That means you can be working away at your desk and and rubbing your feet on the the massing bumps on the top of the footrest and reviving the circulation in your legs and feet. If the massage is not your thing, you can just place your feet below the footrest and let the heat hit the top of your feet.

It is amazing how just warming your feet can have a warming effect on the rest of your body. Besides giving warmth, improves leg circulation, offers support and overall posture while reducing the chances of lower back problems.

There is an auto-off feature turns off the unit after 8 hours of use, so no need to worry after you got home if you forgot to turn it off. Hands-free operation. It loses 1-star because I wish it had some kind of controlling the heat settings.

I just love how all the girls at work are jealous of my heated footrest. :-)

Honest reviews on Fellowes Heat and Slide Footrest, Black/Grey (8080901)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program In their eagerness to avoid lawsuits and setting customers on fire, the people at Fellowes have created a heated footrest that doesn't particularly work. Bulky, unattractive, exuding the heat of a used oven mitt, this Heat and Slide Footrest is an almost total misfire. Read on for the details:

APPEARANCE/ADJUSTABILITY: Cumbersome and ugly. The footrest is relatively lightweight, which is nice. The adjustable top is jerky but does stay in place fairly well.

HEAT: On top of the unit is best, with a distinct heat emitting from most of the surface. The only problem is, you are supposed to wear your shoes (see photo at top of product page), according to their instructions. Through shoes you are not going to feel this level of heat, and the "massage" bumps are meaningless. Underneath the unit there is almost no heat whatsoever, despite the promises of the product page. Pretty much nothing is happening (sparking my sister to wonder if our unit came broken. I don't think so, as other reviewers noted the same problem.)

So there you have it. Use it as they tell you to, and it won't work. There are better heated footrests on the market and so there is no point to wasting money on this one. More or less useless, and rating:

GRADE: D

It also makes a weird snapping noise from time to time.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program While this footrest does a fair job of warming your feet, I wouldn't call it a necessary item for your daily use in a drafty office or home. It takes quite a while to actually get your feet warm using this device; though when they do get toasty, they stay that way. If you are strictly looking for a footrest, I would say there are better devices for that application. I guess I was hoping it would be more practical than it actually seems to be. Nonetheless, it does work for the purpose in which it was designed.

Pros:

~Fairly realistic flames

~For those of you in hot climates who still want to have the calming effects of a fire, you can leave the "flame" on without having the heat on

~"Flame" height can be adjusted high or low

~Temperature can be adjusted

~Feels oh-so-nice when I get in from being out in the freezing Colorado weather I can switch it on, stand in front of it, and get that warm-clothes-from-the-dryer feeling

~Compact, but not so small as to seem Mickey Mousey

~Lightweight easily moveable to other areas of the house

~Quiet the fan is barely audible

~The unit (on the sides, top, and back) does not heat up can touch without getting burned

~Functional door on the front opens up to reveal control panel, or you can control it with the included remote

~Setup was fast my husband had it done in about 5 minutes

Cons:

~We have about a 15' x 15' living area. It is fairly open (no walls between the kitchen & dining room, so adding approximately another 25' x 15' with those two areas), and so the heater doesn't really "warm up" the room. Which is understandable since the space is as open as it is. It does, however, take that little chill out of the air. The furnace kicks on about half as often as before.

~The cord is pretty short I'd estimate probably about 3 feet so you have to either keep it close to the plug in or get an extension cord.

~Remote doesn't work from too far away, and must be basically right in front of the unit to make it work

~If you're really cold (as I am when I come in from being out in the -4 degree air)you have to stand / sit within 3 feet of it or it won't get you warmed up.

Even with the "cons", I LOVE this little heater. It's been really nice to have to take that chill out of the house and to stand next to when coming in out of the cold!

I got my stove just as the wether started changing. I took it out of the box and it was pumping heat right away, I had many compliments on it and it added the perfect mood to my living room. Until about two weeks after it came, that is when it started making this loud whining noise.

I am going to contact Duraflame and see what they are going to do. Bottom line is it's a great stove that puts out lots of heat but it shouldn't start breaking after two weeks of use.

Honest reviews on Duraflame Large Stove Heater, Black, DFS-750-1

We bought this little stove in November because we were about to go through another winter with $700+ monthly heating oil bills. In the first month, it paid for itself. Our oil bill was about $350, and the heater, which ran nearly 24/7, hiked our electric bill by $60. It's been paying for itself over and over again every month. We have it in our living room, which is about 18' X 25'. The ceilings are low, and I'm sure that makes it more efficient. We get enough heat to be comfortable there, and in the adjoining kitchen. In the coldest months, our oil bill remained steady, and the electric bill rose by $90 one month, and $70 another month. Last year I paid in oil alone over $2000. The difference was so noticeable, our oil delivery man asked us what we were doing different.

The exterior does not pose a hazard to our animals, since it doesn't heat up.

The fake flame is nice. At Christmas, I hung little baby stockings on the stove. Now that spring is near, we will probably keep the "flame" running. It looks cozy.

This week, we found the fan and heating element were not working, but, in my father's words, "When in doubt, follow directions." We read the booklet and found that charge can build up in the elements. The solution? Just unplug it from the wall for a few hours. The booklet also gives you information on how to get replacement parts, if ever needed.

But at the rate it is saving us money, even if we had to replace it, we would still be ahead of the heating cost game.

I purchased this, after I saw one at a friends house, not this particular one, but really like mine better.

It a little larger, which I like and seems to really do the job. I was on a shoping network reading and

hearing about duraflame, and your price was so much better! It looks nice, I live in senior housing apt. and

I really am happy with it, have it on for the effect sometimes when heat is not needed. Great purchase.

Customer Ratings:

This heater is excellent and the perfect fit, for a certain set of requirements.

If you have electricity, use an electric heater. Don't bother with the hassel of propane. The cost isn't too different and the hassel factor is much higher than electricity.

I also don't recommend using the small canisters. That's an inconvinient way to go as well.

BUT. If you don't have power and need a cheap, safe heat source that you can run while you sleep, this is the best one made. Buy the 12' hose, place a 20lb propane tank outside, and run this heater all night with just a small crack in a window or door (just in case!). You will get > 100 hours of heat out of a tank of propane! Less than a buck to run it all night.

Highly recommended under the right circumstances.

Once and for all, here is the purpose of fuel filter for this heater. When you use this heater with a remote tank & rubber 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. YOU MUST DO THIS EVERY TIME. If you simply turn the heater knob to the off position, what you are doing is trapping 100 PSI of propane in the rubber hose. When high pressure propane just sits in your rubber hose, it literally causes the rubber to leetch a light oil that is part of the chemical composition of the rubber. If this oil forms and you have the filter on the heater, the filter will catch it and seperate it from the gas. If you do not have the filter, the oil will quickly work its way into the heater & destroy both the regulator & control valve. The heater can be repaired, but these two components will need to be replaced.

I use this heater when I camp in my trailer, and it works great especially when used in conjunction with a 20-lb. propane tank. If you do use a 20-lb. tank, however, I STRONGLY recommend that you use the fuel filter (around $10 and yes, this is mentioned in the manual) and also that you always close the propane tank shut-off before turning off the Portable Buddy so that all the gas is burned out. Why? I went through two units that started shutting themselves off about a year after purchase before I found out that oily residue starts building up within the heater when the previous two suggestions are not followed. Even when I tried cleaning it out (I did a complete disassembly), it was not successful unless the control unit and the regulator are replaced as well. I did find a lot of oily mess within contol unit area, but couldn't get it all so it's just as easy to replace the entire unit. What happens is that when you turn on the unit, it seems to work; but, as the oily residue works its way up to the flame part, it will start going out on its own the time it takes to go out in my experience was around 1/2 hour. As far as the precautions go, the fuel filter was easy for me to find locally where propane items are sold (farm stores, large sporting goods stores); it is easy to install (it screws into the heater where a 1-lb. bottle would be located and then the hose to the tank screws right into the fuel filter it should last a year). I pick up an extra one once the current one is being used. I'm getting in the habit of shutting off the gas first. I would give this heater 5 stars if they would have explained this malfunction better I ended up talking with tech support before finding out what was actually wrong.

Also, even in very cold weather, I leave about 6" of window open to keep the condensation to a minimum.

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater MRHF273400 Buddy Portable LP Gas Heater

This heater is perfect for tent camping in larger tents. It's not too big and pretty stable. We have a large cabin style tent that sleeps 6-8. On our last camping trip to our local Southern California mountains in January 02, the temp at night got down to the mid 30's. Mr. Heater kept us almost too warm, even on the low setting. Our kids ended up sleeping on top of their sleeping bags. The safety features and BTU range were the deciding factors in our purchase. The low oxygen sensor gave us peace of mind(I still purchased a battery operated Carbon Monoxide sensor for the tent for extra precaution)and the BTU range was good. I could not find any other indoor approved heater that warmed us so well. At first I purchased a infer-red heater that attached to a bulk talk. I found too many reasons why not to use it in the tent(No low O2 sensor, no heat shield, and no low setting). Don't chance it. Get an 8 to 12 foot extension hose and a bulk tank. The portable tanks won't last all night. I wouldn't recommend this heater for small tents(not enough space, not enough air volume, and the potential for Carbon Monoxide problems is too great).

After several months of field testing this heater, I found it capable of producing some convenient heat. It competes in a market that includes a lot of products. I have used this heater in a garage, basement and while camping.

Some observations:

1. Outside at your campsite, it is easy to light and carry around, and can be a great radiant heater to warm your hands and face on a cold morning without the fuss of building a fire. Inside a five to six person tent, it warmed the space quite nicely on the high setting. In a tent, I would not take a chance to burn it without keeping at least an open space around it and an open eye on it. While the front has a steel grille to shield the user from direct contact with the burning surface, contact with the grille and top of the unit by skin or manmade materials can result in burns or melted items.

2. The heater is PORTABLE, and portability is your friend. It is very easy to pack or carry anywhere. This is a VERY COMPACT unit that will go nearly anywhere. However, It will NOT heat a large unenclosed space, and it is not a blast furnace.

3. One interesting thing that happens when you burn the heater for any length of time in a cool area is that moisture condenses on the outside of the metallic disposable propane cylinder. The condensation eventually turns to frost and if you sit the heater on top of something that can be damaged by water, you definitely want to put an absorbent cloth under the tank to catch any drops of water when it starts to condense or as the frost melts.

4. Since this is an unvented heater, products of combustion such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and some slight odor are released into the heated space; this is common with all such heaters. Adequate oxygen must also be supplied to facilitate burning as well as to sustain life. The low oxygen shutoff is a good safety feature. People with sensitivity to odors or products of combustion would not appreciate this; I have one such person in my household and he has not enjoyed the smell.

5. There is an open flame in the form of the pilot light which sits just in front of the surface of the ceramic plate seen in the picture. The pilot ignites the gas on the surface of the ceramic plate; that is what causes the plate to glow orange. The pilot is lighted by a built-in sparker. I have found the pilot to be harder to light with a propane extension hose attached than with the disposable cylinder on board.

I have used kerosene heaters, catalytic heaters, electric space heaters. All of them produce heat, but this is the handiest heater I have ever used.
