While the fireplace container itself, and the fake flame looks really nice, I was quite disappointed in the heat output. Maybe the space I'm trying to heat (1/2 finished basement) is too large, but it seems like the fan didn't throw the heat out far enough to heat seated locations that are only about 10 ft away. By the time the heated air gets that far, it's already at the ceiling (only 7 ft high), so while standing up you can feel some heat, seated you are still cool, even after it running for a couple hours. I'll probably try moving it upstairs to my living room, which is a smaller space. Maybe it will heat that room better.

I ordered this unit on May 10th and was told I would have it by the 21st; I received it on the 16th! In testing the unit's heater I only turned it on for a minute or two before it was too hot to test further, considering it was a 80 degree day outside. I have no doubts that it will heat the first floor of my home. The flames do, in fact, look relatively realistic considering. The remote works well, even though it is cheap looking. The wood cabinet looks like a quality piece of oak, considering it really is pressed board. I will never own another piece of furniture that is pressed board, but this unit will fool most people in believing it is real wood. The casters are fluid and roll smoothly across my wood floors. There are many types, sizes and varieties of fake fireplaces that cost a lot more then this little unit, however, for only $349.00 to get all the feature you get with this unit (remote control, shut-off timer, adjustable flame brightness, and built in thermostat) you are getting a great product.

After 3 returns of a similar fireplace that arrived with huge gashes and tears in the boxes that were sold from Amazon, we decided to try one more time to purchase a fireplace from a different seller. So glad we did!!! This arrived in a protective cardboard box, the fireplace has no damage at all and it works great!! The oak cabinet is very nice also!!! It's quiet, and the flames look real!!

Love it!!!!

On a side note, Amazon was very understanding about us feeling uncomfortable accepting the previous fireplaces in the condition the boxes were delivered in, so I want to mention that they have excellent customer service! I have been a long time customer with them and that won't change. My hope is that after this experience they will improve the conditions the large items are being shipped in.

Best Hunter 44110 Set & Save Programmable Thermostat Deals

Hunter 44110 Set & Save Programmable Thermostat
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

The thermostat was inexpensive and does the job as stated. There are four settings per day [presets]. The programming for weekdays and weekends are done separately. It has two overides: one for temporary bi-bass [from one preset to another] or a vacation overide [until you return home]. The only thing negative about the thermostat is that it doesn't light up for easier viewing in dim light or darkness.

When the description of the thermostat says that it can be programmed for "every day of the week," that does not mean than there can be a separate cooling and heating program for each day of the week. The thermostat can be programmed so that there are separate heating and cooling programs for weekdays (MTWThF) and others for weekends (SaSu). The weekday heating or cooling program must have 4 settings for a 24 hour period and similarly for weekends. For example for either heating or cooling, it can be set for one temperature from 6 AM to 8 AM, another for 8 AM to 5 PM, another from 5 PM to 10 PM, and a fourth from 10 PM to 6 AM. The times at which it switches temperatures can be adjusted. To change from the Heating programs to the Cooling programs, you move a switch from "Heat" to "Cool."

If the programming limitations suit your weekly schedule, then you will probably be happy with this thermostat. We have had ours for over a year and have had no problems with it. Installation for our all-electric system was fairly easy. Based on our power bill, the thermostat has saved us money.

I have had the Hunter 44110 for a number of years, and it basically does the job. But, once or twice a month it completely loses the day, time and program, and has to be completely re-programmed. When this happens, I check or replace the batteries. But it still loses memory even with known good batteries.

Honest reviews on Hunter 44110 Set & Save Programmable Thermostat

We have 2 furnaces in our house & have an older Hunter model on one furnace & I was searching for a new Hunter for the second furnace. We installed this one at Thanksgiving time & we couldn't be happier. It was a breeze to install & we haven't had any problems with it at all. I think it's a great product & a super price.

This is a decent thermostat. It is easy to install and fairly easy to program, but if you live in a dry climate like Albuquerque, you should think twice about getting this thermostat. It has very poor electro-static discharge (ESD) protection. I have "killed" three of them just by walking up and touching the buttons. I have two installed in my house and I like the horizontal form factor. At first it seemed easier to just buy another one to replace a dead one without having to instal a new bracket, etc. Two days ago, I killed another one and am tired of it. I will be looking for a different thermostat.

My home is brick and was built in 1870 which means it has absolutely no insulation. I knew I couldn't stand another winter sitting in a drafty living room with blankets piled on. Whenever people would visit, I'd suggest they leave their shoes on because the floors were so drafty.

In September, I decided I wouldn't go through another cold and drafty winter so I started doing my research. I stumbled across the RugBuddy and it caught my eye. Like most people, I was a bit skeptical about making a fairly large purchase for an unknown item. After several weeks of debate I took the plunge. Several days later I received the product. It is a paper-thin film with heating elements running through it. I followed the simple instructions and within minutes turned it on.

Being a software engineer, I had to chart RugBuddy 's progress. I used an infrared instant thermometer laser and recorded that before turning on RugBuddy my area rug registered 62.5 degrees. After 1 hour it was 72 degrees. After 2 hours it reached 80 degrees. You instantly feel it on your stocking feet when you walk on the rug. After purchasing the RugBuddy, I now enjoy grabbing a pillow and lay on the floor to watch TV. It's like laying on a giant electric blanket.

I called the company to ask about electrical usage. They said that a panel to cover an 8x10 rug costs ~ .25/hr. in my area (New York State).

I hope this information proves useful to someone who is looking for an affordable solution to drafty rooms.

Our rug buddy arrived, while we were gone. Couldnt wait to get it going.. We started it as four of our grandchildren arrived. Soon our rug was wall to wall with people soaKing up the heat. It was a very cold day and worked great. We realize now that the furnace doesn't run as much when the rug buddy is on. I highly recommend it..

This company apparently is not much of a company. I pulled apart the bed to place this heating mat under it so the bed could be warmed at night without turning on the heat for the whole house. It requires a rug pad underneath (just happened to have one that fits, but you wouldn't know you needed one unless you check around) and a rug to go on top. When I opened it the box, the mat was folded and when I tried to unfold it, it was all stuck together. I assumed that there was a reason for it, but I called customer care to find out whether this is unusual. At 4:45 on a Monday afternoon, the extension for tech support (apparently they only have one guy who does this) did not pick up, and I left a message--pleading to get a call back, since I had to leave within the hour and did not want to have to put my bed back together that night, take it apart again once I heard back from them, and go through the whole mess again. Of course, by 6 pm, no reply. I will not buy anything from a company with a single tech guy who leaves before five on any give day. Too much hassle.

Hy-c Company UL2832ST-1 Ul Sandstone Stoveboard Tile 28"x32" Review

Hy-c Company UL2832ST-1 Ul Sandstone Stoveboard Tile 28'x32'
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
The item shipped quickly and was delivered by UPS. For us the stoveboard is the perfect size for our rectangular kerosene heater. It does a good job protecting the floor near the kerosene heater from residual heat. The metal top of the board is very attractive and exceeded our expectations. My only quibble is that the edges of the metal folded under on the bottom of the board could be smoother. I don't think the edges will scratch our hardwood floor, but I may tape around the edges just to be safe.

Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.

Added note: I notice that the kerosene heater slides somewhat on this smooth stoveboard. I'll have to get a roll of that sticky mesh product used on kitchen shelves and in drawers to prevent the heater from moving.

Reviews of NEW! Auto Heated Travel Coffee Tea Mug Cup Red - 12V & USB

NEW! Auto Heated Travel Coffee Tea Mug Cup Red - 12V & USB
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

I purchased this item for myself from a local vendor. I thought it would be great to keep my coffee warm while driving to work during the cold winter mornings. I tested at home by plugging it to my laptop and the mug which was cool to the touch only got as warm as room temp. Next I took it to the family desk top computer and finally to my car. Then just to prove it was useless I filled it with hot water and started the test all over again and it didn't keep the water any warmer than if i had just poured it into a regular travel mug. This product is a total ripoff. I am better off just running hot tap water into the mug to warm it up before pouring in my coffee.

I am so glad I only paid $10 for it.

This product is a great idea, the cup keeps coffee or whatever beverage warm, not hot. I am disappointed that within the second week the plastic cover for the charger broke off (very cheap rubber) and the connection is loose, making it difficult not to get water inside the unit when cleaning. There also seems to be some sort of rust on the inside bottom of the cup that was there from the start. It took three calls to the distributor to finally get someone on the phone and I was told I needed to fax or mail them a receipt in order to get a refund. I would pay more for a higher quality product as this is the perfect cup to keep my coffee warm on the road.

I love this.. Seems like this works better plugging in the car than the computer though. But it heats up well when I plugged into my car and stays warm when I plugged this to my computer.

Highly recommended for someone who sits their coffee out long and hates the cold coffee.

I should have sent this item back. It smelled of a strange chemical that would not go away with washing. The odor was so bad, my wife would not use it--and I don't blame her.

Do NOT buy this product!

Title says it all. Plugged into my laptop's usb the night it arrived. Kept the test water warm for an hour, figured it was good to go. If it worked ok with the lower power of the usb it should work even better in the car. Wrong, plugged it into the car the next day, nothing. I used a meter to check the wire and plug, had power at the connector that plugs into the mug. Something inside the mug fried I guess. Might as well spend the money on a well insulated thermos instead.

After doing some research on sets like this one, I was under the impression that this particular product would hold up best in outdoor conditions. It had rust forming on it within a week of being outside (under "normal" weather conditions). I have had this for a while now (more than a year) and It is now completely rusted. I still use it however, even though it doesn't look like stainless steel anymore. One twisted handle does now have a break in it (I don't know exactly when that happened) It wasn't from use, it just snapped. Again, it is sturdy enough that I still use it, but don't expect it to retain the nice stainless steel look it has when new. That look will not last long outside!

While the item shown and the description says it is a Holmes filter, what was shipped was a clone filter. It can work only if you pull the mounting clip of an old filter. While I suspect the filter will work, the vendor was certainly misleading in their description.

Cheap Hot Massage Stone Warmer - 6-Quart

Hot Massage Stone Warmer - 6-Quart
Customer Ratings: 3 stars
Buy Now
I purchased this item along with massage stones, as it was listed as an additional item at the bottom of the page. I assumed this was a special kind of warmer, due to it being labeled a 'Hot Stone Warmer'. When I received it I was disappointed to discover it's just a big crock pot. Really...I could have purchased one cheaper at a dollar store somewhere to serve the same purpose.

Over all, the quality of the pot itself is pretty good. It has a standard, one-setting option for preheat, and is sturdy. With water and stone weight, the handles didn't crack or pop, and it held up nicely. The lid, however, is cheaply made.

Upon using it for the first time, we followed what few instructions it did come with where it explains to place a towel in between the rocks and the bottom of the pot to prevent them from getting too hot. Even with the towel, the water became extremely hot and unit emitted a burning odor, although we never found anything burning. It may have just been a new use sort of smell. I let the entire unit, rocks and all, cool for over an hour to get it to a comfortable/tolerable stone temperature.

Anyway, my hubby loved the hot stone massage as a whole... ;) once they cooled down enough to use.

I'm not impressed with what it is for the money I spent. Seriously, just go find a cheap crock pot or an old one at a yard sale, you'll do just as good and probably have more temperature options.

This is a nice addition to our rustic "cabin". Another reviewer complained that it's pale green. That's incorrect.

Of course everyone sees colors differently but i would say that top and bottom have a faux cement look that is

somewhere between grey and Khaki but not green. And so far it works quite fine heating up our small room.
