The product did not meet my expectations. First, the exhaust fan noise is not much quieter than the one I replaced. I figured that the original was probably a commercial contractor "special" and that a rating of 2.0 sones should be quieter. I have another bathroom that still has the "special" fan and I don't notice much difference. The heater stopped working within a month. It heated a small 7'x'6' shower area and that's about it. The directional heat can be directed every angle in a circle (360 degrees) except straight down. Directing the heat flow towards my towel made mine "roasty-toasty" but not my wife's. Oh well, her loss

I did a lot of research before ordering this particular unit. I was very pleased at how quickly it was shipped and the condition it was in. It took just under three hours to assemble with the heating unit packaged in one piece. All you have to do is put it in the unit. The shelf part has two openings for the cords, one opening for cords going up to the television and one going down to the electrical outlet. The actual fire is very easy to watch and the temperature and heat settings are adjustable, both on the unit and with the enclosed remote control. An added bonus is a marker the same color as the unit to cover any scratches.

All in all, this has been a great addition to our living area.

I am very impressed with this entertainment center. It arrived on time, had easy-to-follow directions for assembly, and looks beautiful. The finished is very nice and the wood pieces fit together perfectly to give it a very professional appearance. The flames look very realistic and the heater definitely helps to warm our room. Plenty of space for all of my electronic accessories.

I have a VERY small living room and didn't have a lot of space for my entertainment stuff. This looks wonderful and has a very small footprint. I have a 42" TV on it and I wouldn't recommend it for anything larger than that..I didn't have any trouble putting it together. There was one part on the front that didn't line up flush but it's the same way on the opposite side so I think it may have been a bad idea rather than a defect. However, it's not the sort of thing anyone would notice.

I bought this window unit over 4 years ago and Ive used it every summer since. Every year when I bring it out of storage and plug it in, it works wonderfully. It keeps our home comfortable and it does not have a huge impact on our electric bill. Highly recommend!

AC unit is powerful and has a reassuringly even and gentle sound. One thing it is not, however, is quiet. If one uses it in a mobile home (my situation!) there is no part of the house where it is inaudible, at least with the doors open. I can deal with it as I like the sound, my insomniac spouse cannot.

This isn't a bad thing by any means. She is impossible to please. Just be aware of what you're buying a powerful, unobtrusive-sounding but loud cooling unit. Oh, and it can blow cold air in two directions at once which is awesome.

I bought this unit to put in my bedroom. This is an old farmhouse so the air circulates freely throughout the house in a circular manner with my bedroom being at the far end. That part of the house get warm. We already own a Fridgedaire and it just does not do much of anything at all even though it has more BTU's. Hubby suggested I get the 8,000 instead of a larger unit for my bedroom since it is a small area. On high cool this machine cools the whole house while the living room Fridgedaire is only an assist. Granted it is rather noisy but at night I put it on low cool or low dry and it does not bother me much at all. I would think that one would have to take this into consideration before buying. I preferred having the cool during the day and I am not sorry I bought this product in the least, it pushes out the cold air far into the room and the directional adjustment is far superior over the Fridgedaire. I Highly recommend the Artic King over other units if you want cool.

It did raise the Electric bill but If you can afford an Air conditioner, you can afford the bill.

Discount BISSELL SpotBot ProHeat Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner, 12U9A

BISSELL SpotBot ProHeat Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner, 12U9A
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

We have two dogs and two boys. Our youngest dog is a 1 year old beagle, who has been very difficult to potty train! Needless to say, a carpet cleaner is a must-have for us. It is used many times during the week. Prior to the SpotBot, we used way to many paper towels for cleaning up messes that we didn't have time to clean with the large machine.

The fact that we already have a full-size carpet cleaner, that works well, is why we did not buy one of these sooner. I am betting that many others are in the same situation, or are debating between this or a full size cleaner, so this is where I will begin:

First, I will focus on the downfalls of using our full-size carpet cleaner for a small spot/stain-

1) Its size! With as much as we use it, it is not ideal to lug it up and down the stairs of our two floor house. This is especially the case when spots need cleaned both upstairs and downstairs at the same time.

2) The hose on the Hoover model we have is a royal pain. It takes several steps to switch the machine over to use the hand tool. It is a pain to clean. We avoid having to use it because of this. That means we usually end up scrubbing chairs and the stairs by hand, as it is less of a hassle. (If you go for a full-size model, consider looking for one where you do not need the extra steps to switch between the floor and hose modes!)

3) The dirty water holder is large. We usually use the bathtub to clean it. Going through all this trouble for a little stain sucks, especially when you have to do it as often as we do.

4) You should vacuum before using a carpet cleaner. This usually is not a problem for dry stains. However, you cannot vacuum over a wet pet accident! With the full-size cleaner, it is very difficult to just clean one area. We usually end up cleaning a 2'x3' area that surrounds the stain...an un-vacuumed 2'x3' area. This results in dog hair in parts of the carpet cleaner where it does not belong. Again, it is a pain to clean.

5) We cannot leave this machine sitting on a carpeted area. The left-over water from the brushes and such leave a wet spot. We usually move the machine to a hard floor before we even turn it off.

Now, onto the SpotBot-

1) The size is great. It is SOOO much easier to carry around the house and up and down the stairs.

2) It is very easy to switch from the automatic mode to the manual mode (where you use the hose.) Because of this, I do not hesitate to use it for quick clean-ups on the stairs, on our dining room chairs, or in the car. The hand tool is a cinch to clean when you are through, partly because it is not as long as the full-size models.

3) The dirty water bin is easily dumped and cleaned in the sink. It can be carried with one hand.

4) It is not always ideal to vacuum before cleaning. It is easy to clean just the stained area without involving the area around it.

5) We leave the SpotBot out of the way in our dining room for quick access. We have had no problems with it leaking.

Now that I have explained why this has been so much easier than our full-sized cleaner, here are some more observations of the SpotBot:

1. There are 3 models of the SpotBot. From what I can tell, they are all almost identical except the Pet model comes with pet cleaning solution and the ProHeat has a water heater. The original does not have Microban protection, whereas the Pet and ProHeat do. (Hint: Compare specs and the pictures of the lady using the machine on Bissell's website.)

--If you plan on getting fresh hot water every time you use the machine, I would pass on the ProHeat model. Consider if you want the Microban protection to decide between the green and pet models.

--If you have a pet, you can get the green model and buy your own pet solution. However, the green one does not have the Microban protection, so it may be worth getting the Pet model.

--If you plan on having the machine ready all the time, get the ProHeat (red) model. The water heater function will heat the water/cleaning solution that has been sitting in the tank since your last use. I have been happy with the heat function. It may not heat it to scorching hot, but warm water still is better than cold.

2. As others have noted, the automatic function does not do the best job at sucking up all the water. It is not much trouble to use the hose to suck up the remaining water. The only downside of this is the need to rinse out the hand attachment after you are through. Even that isn't a big deal and it only takes a second.

3. There are two cycles, plus the manual option. The surface stain cycle runs about 3 minutes, the set-in stain cycle runs about 6 minutes. The machine really does most of the work for you! It was not a primary reason for our purchase, but WOW...this machine has really saved us a ton of work!!! Because this machine is so simple and quick to use, every single pet stain has been properly cleaned. No paper towels have been wasted.

4. A full solution tank lasts about two of the longer 6 minute cycles. It lasts for about 4 of the shorter cycles.

5. The automatic function does an EXCELLENT job. It has gotten out ever spill and every old stain we have used it on. The hand tool does a decent job, though not as good of a job as the automatic function. This may be because I do not scrub one spot for 6 minutes. In fact, I don't think I ever went over the same spot with our full-sized machine for 6 minutes...LOL!

6. If your carpets have not been cleaned in a while, this machine may clean so well that you will have a ring of clean carpet. I noticed a slight ring when I used the SpotBot on a stain in a high-traffic area. For us, this is not a huge issue because we have our carpets professionally cleaned ever 6-12 months and use our full-sized machine in between.

7. This unit is only intended for cleaning small areas. The circle is 8" in diameter, and the area it cleans is approximately 6-7". A full-sized carpet cleaner will be your best bet for cleaning large areas. This machine is better than the full-sized unit for cleaning up individual stains.

8. We only use MAYBE half the recommended cleaner. The stains still come out! I recommend experimenting with this so that you are not using more cleaner than you actually need to.

Since we usually have this ready at all times, when an accident does happen it couldn't be easier! We just grab the machine, plug it in, set it on the stain, and push a button. We carry on with whatever we were doing until the cycle ends. Then, we attach the hand tool to the hose, suck up the excess water, dump and rinse the storage tank, and we are ready for next time!

I think I covered the questions I had before our purchase! I highly recommend this machine!

I bought this on a friends recommendation. I have 3 cats one who just pukes everywhere. It is just great you don't have to do much. It is a good idea to pick up any solid matter then I just place to spotbot on the puke and use the surface stain cleaning cycle. I suspect that the O2 cleaing solution is quite strong and you will see where the spotbot has been as it will leave a circle of "clean" carpet, I have also read this in reviews. So unless you want to create your very own crop circles in your carpet just pick the little green cleaning solution or the pet stain one.

My SpotBot was delivered today. It was still in the box when my cat threw up on the carpet. What great timing to try it out. She had just eaten(too fast & too much) so it was a mess. I wiped up what I could and then got the SpotBot out of the box. Quickly read thru the directions which were so simple. Filled the container with water and cleaner and set it to work. My cat actually sat with me and watched it. The carpet was totally clean afterwards. My husband came in and even said how fresh smelling the cleaner was. I really liked that this SpotBot heated the water itself.

I highly recommend this product. It is such an easy, quick way to clean up messes on your carpet. Products like this make cleaning a little more fun.

Honest reviews on BISSELL SpotBot ProHeat Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner, 12U9A

This unit does exactly what it claims to do it cleans small areas of your carpet that are soiled. We purchased it to take care of the inevitable cat-yak that three cats routinely provide. It make the cleanup process virtually painless in that we can place the unit over the soiled area and walk away. A few minutes later the job is done. This has proven to be far more effective that our old method of scraping and scrubbing the soiled area with water, vinegar, carpet spot cleaner, etc. and then trying to soak up the mess with numerous paper towels.

I believe one of the best features of the SpotBot is the fact that it wet-vacs the soiled area, effectively rinsing the soiled area and then removing the dirty water from the carpet. The color of the water you discard tells you what would have been leaving behind without this vacuum feature. One thing to keep in mind is that this is truly a spot cleaner it cleans a circular area of the carpet about 8 inches in diameter. It is not well suited for cleaning large areas of carpeting. Also, the unit does tend to leave the carpet a bit wetter than I would like. This is easily remedied by either using the manual hand wand attachment after the job is done or by simply pressing a couple of paper towels to the wet area to help with the drying process. Overall, it is a great unit and I would not want to face the cat-yak cleanup process without it. Highly recommended.

This is an update (June 6, 2010)

After having used this appliance regularly for 6 months (our cats gave us plenty of opportunities), I have only recently come to realize the incredible utility, versatility and efficiency of the manual hand-wand. Prior to this, I had pretty much relied exclusively on the automatic cycles to clean up the mess. I would use the automatic cycles on small spots as well as on larger more difficult spots. The automatic cycles do clean reasonably well but the limitations are (1) the carpet ends up a bit wetter than I would like, (2)if you are dealing with a large spot you may have to run two or more automatic cycles to cover the whole area, and (3) if you are dealing with a very small spot you are wasting cleaning solution since the automatic cycles draw a fair amount of cleaning solution for each cycle.

The manual hand-wand remedies all of this. It is very easy to use and leaves you in full control as to how much cleaning solution to dispense as well as how much water to draw out of the carpet. I can concentrate on the worst part of the soiled area and decide when it is clean enough. I can continue the vacuum operation until there is no more water coming out of the carpet. You can see the water being drawn through the transparent head on the wand. One tank of cleaning solution lasts a very long time when the SpotBot is used in this manner. The wand has become my preferred way of cleaning. For me, the SpotBot has become an indispensable part of pet ownership and discovering the manual hand wand has made it even more versatile and efficient.

This little machine has proved its worth ten-fold. It does an amazing job cleaning and the heat action makes a big difference when cleaning up after a new puppy and their friends.

The only downside is if you have a carpet that is old (as mine is), you will see just how well this product cleans I now have crop circles on the lighter colored carpet in my house reminding me that I need to replace it as soon as the puppy is grown.

Well worth the money a great product!

I had a little heater fan from DeLonghi (DFH132), and it was fine but a little weak. I tried out a few heater fans from Honeywell (HFH5555 [worked, but blew a fuse] and HEH8001-U [worked but more fan than heater]) but ended up returning them.

This little heater puts out a good bit of heat. It's sitting behind me right now, in the same spot the heater fan used to occupy, and it puts out much more heat. It's also about twice as loud, but that doesn't bother me. The grille on the front gets hot, but I haven't left my hand on it long enough to see if it will burn me. I can make only so many sacrifices for Amazon reviews...

Quite happy with this item.

I gave this heater 4 stars. Let me explain....

First, to be realistic about my pros and cons, I know I wasn't getting a top of the line model being that this heater was under thirty bucks. I only needed this to provide a little warmth boost in my 1-year old sons 14' x 12' room.

Pros:

-Pushes a lot of heat for being so small This was surprising. I have to keep the temp turned only about 1/3 of the way up with the lowest fan setting or else my son's room turns into a sauna.

-Very nice size it's not tiny, but it fits nicely on my son's chest of drawers along with an alarm clock and piggy bank.

-1 fan, 2 heat options there is a fan option(no heat), a low and high heat setting. I use the low and imagine that the high setting would push qhite a bit of heat.

-Thermostat very nice option for what I use it for, once you get it right (see cons). I keep it up about 1/3 of the way and it keeps the room at a semi-constant temp.

-Stays cool to the touch on perimeter if you put your hand directly in front of the heating element, it's hot (duh), the rest of it stays nice and cool. This was a major concern for me since it stays in a childs room and space heaters having such a bad safety rep.

-Sturdy I originally had it on the floor and moved it up on a dresser. Neither place was I afraid that it would tip over on it's own

-Overheat switch It's an option, but I gladly haven't had to see if it works

Cons:

-Slightly noisier than expected I expected a little noise since it is a little heater but this small fans puts out quite a bit of noise. It's not loud enough to wake my son when it kicks on during the night, but it is loud enough where I had to relocate the baby monitor because it was driving my wife and me crazy.

-Thermostat this was a pro for having the option alone. The con is that it took me about a week to get it to maintain an even temp exactly where I wanted it. One time it would be too hot, I make an adjustment, then too cold, repeat about 15 times, and it's just right.

If I could give 4 1/2 stars I would. My pros are definite pros, but the cons may be a little petty given the product. I think for a few more dollars DeLonghi could put in a digital thermostat and maybe a slighly quieter fan.

Overall, I highly recommend this.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi DCH1030 Safeheat 1500W Basic Ceramic Heater - Gray/Black

My wife and I bought 2 of these to give our utility budget a break this winter.

This heater puts out alot of heat. The On/Off/Heat Settings switch, along with the Thermostat switch, feel very solid for a ceramic heater this inexpensive. It has a handle so it's easily transportable. Power light goes off when the unit is turned off (unlike others in this price range). Can be turned off (Some other similarly priced heaters need to have you pull the plug for the heater to go off). If it gets too hot, it will shut itself off (Safety feature). It's not whisper quiet but it is certainly not overly loud, as some others have complained. It also has an anti-freeze setting, if that is why you need it.

For the money, I can't see how you can get a better deal on a ceramic heater. I checked out all the similarly priced ceramic heaters here on Amazon, and quite frankly the combination of features, efficient ceramic heating element, solid design and inexpensive price make this a "no-brainer" as far as inexpensive ceramic heaters go. Get 2 and give the gift of ceramic heating efficiency this Christmas. OOPS, politically incorrect. TOO BAD!!!

I am living Iowa city, and the weather is getting colder and colder. So, I bought this small heater to get extra heat for my bedroom. It actually runs very loud, which is quite annoying for me. Moreover, I don't believe the "thermostat" works at all. The manual delusively says that the "thermostat" can be used to maintain the temperature. It is not true. I have to turn it on and off manually... However, it is cheap. For that reason, we probably should not have high expectation.

CONS: Light weighted cabinet (not stable); imitation wood (sticker); inaccurate temperature detection; displayed temperature is the temperature to reach, not the current temperature in the room; fan is very loud; no battery for the remote; advertises as a 6500 BTU when in fact it is a 5100 BTU unit.

PROS: Light weight (but easy to move); has auto turn on and off; has an economy mode setting (500 watts); master on/off switch; fan seems to blow pretty hard.

NEUTRAL: Heat blows toward the floor (maybe 35 degree angle)

..based on my experience attempting to return this item, BEWARE OF FAT BOY TOOLS a seller of this item. They attempted to close my claim for a return and sent me the following message: "Fat Boy Tools has closed your return request. The reason for the closure of your request is: Solved a technical issue" WTF.

I decided on this particular heater over others because it advertises the heater as 6500 BTUs and a five year warranty. When it arrived and I was looking at the box I noticed that it was only 5100 BTUs and has a 3 year year warranty. I thought they had sent me the wrong one but when I compared the model number it was the correct model number. I contacted the company that sent me the heater and they just said that that was the information the Lifesmart company provided them with. To me, that is false advertising!

For starters, I think this is the first time I've taken the time to write a review. I was just a little frustrated how poorly this product was ranked after I committed to buy two of them.

I actually bought this product from e-bay as they were running a big sale. However, I buy a ton from Amazon and always compare prices to theirs and often look at some of the reviews. As with any other item, there are almost always a lot of likes and dislikes. This product had plenty of one star reviews which kind of scared me. Then, I looked at the intelligence level of the reviewers. The fan was "noiser" as opposed to "noisier". One star because the remote didn't have batteries, really??? It wasn't made out of wood, it was plastic on wood. Not true with mine, it's not oak or anything, but it is at least veneer. It only raised the room "2 degree" my old one raised it "8 degree". Firstly, more than one means "degrees". There were some other reviewers that had experience with more expensive units that said this performed "comparably" for the price. I went with the more educated people and bought two of these units. I've only been using them for two days and I'm actually pretty impressed. I use these for localized heating because I run a pellet stove in a 2,850 square foot house. The heat simply can't make it to all areas. I was using some smaller electric faux stoves that worked fairly well. However, not all of them I had have built in thermostats. These units do and they seem to work pretty well. I had one in my bedroom (big bedroom and master bath) and set it at 65 degrees last night. This morning, my atomic clock was reading 63.9 degrees. Close enough considering I have the blower pointing away from the clock. I'm sure it would have been higher if I pointed the heater towards the clock/thermometer. This was on the low (500W) setting. I have not even used the 1,000W setting yet. This product is advertised to help supplement your existing heat and to be efficient at doing so. I don't pay that much attention to my electric bill, but it's 1,500W which seems to be the max for all of these small stand alone units (for the most part). I have oil heat which I have not used for two years since installing a large pellet stove, thanks to my free Obama money at the end of 2011. But, as mentioned before, the heat can't permeate through my entire house well. I use some ceiling fans to move the air around but that's not enough to get the upstairs warm. Yes, I understand, heat rises, but apparently, not as much as I would like. So, in a nutshell, this seems to work great to heat a room locally. It also has an auto on/auto off timer. I have not used that either, but figure the auto on will work nice to come on a couple of hours before you get home. It's not like an alarm clock. You have to tell it to come on in a certain amount of hours. Other complaints included that the display shows the setpoint, not the actual temperature. OK, some people will want it one way, some the other. It seems to hold the setpoint fairly well, so I'm OK with that. Another heater I have displays the actual temperature of the heater, so it is consistently hotter than what the actual room temperature is. Lastly, some people complain it's too loud. The filter on my fishtank, which is called a Whisper filter, is louder, so the volume does not bother me. Seems fine. I guess that's enough said, I think it's a pretty good product. While it may not completely heat your trailer, it's pretty good for keeping some larger rooms that need a boost nice and cozy. I'd recommend to a friend.

Pros:

Attractive package that you can easily put a picture or plant on top of

Fully assembled upon arrival, including the wheels (which are stable as opposed to one review)

On/Off Timer

Remote (except for the added $1.00 you'll have to pay for two AA batteries)

F/C temperature display

Directional heat as you can point it where you want the heat to go

Cons:

People seem to have had problems with the vendor they purchased it from when they were dissatisfied

Doesn't have the fake logs and flames that the faux heaters have that most people actually enjoy

Won't walk my dog or make me coffee in the morning (just had to come up with a complaint like the other one star reviews)

Sorry if I insulted anyone's intelligence, but some of those reviews really are comical.

Happy New Year

Honest reviews on Lifesmart Power Plus 6 Element 1800 Square Foot Infrared Quartz

I bought this product for 179.00 on Amazon, through FAT BOYS TOOLS. It works about the same as my hair dryer on warm.

It ran quite for about three hours and now makes enough noise to be bothersome.

Honestly, I have a 30.00 radiant heater that works ten times better.

In retuning this item I have to pay a 12% restocking fee, that is 31.60 to me, and a 11.40 pre paid shipping fee. The grand total for 43.00. I have learned my lesson, do not buy from Fat Boys Tools. I tried to work something out with them, I wanted a replacement heater, but they don't sell any other heaters that work better then this one. In fact the young lady in customer service told me that this heater only heats as a secondary heater and brings the room four degrees higher then the primary heat source has heated it. Sounds to me that 1800 square feet "line" is just an eye catching bate, It is advertised to "1800 Square Foot Infrared Quartz Heater...." Sounds to me like it might heat that 1800 square ft. space. My place is no more then 600 sq. feet all one room, No it is not warm!!!

This is a nice little heater. Has the same size

ceramic core as bigger units, but costs less because

theres no remote, or fancy lcd display. But it puts

out just as much heat as its big brothers.

The exterior is pretty cheap, so I can't give it

anymore stars. I believe this heater qualify's for CA prop 65

warning. But didn't see it! Made in China....

Overview: This is a great small size heater. It has two main setting "low" and "high". The low setting is nearly silent, so you can easily do certain task such as talking or listening to music without some background interference. It has 6 temperatures settings (in Fahrenheit): 65˚, 70˚, 75˚, 80˚, 85˚, and "Max". During the winter time, my room is about 55˚ Fahrenheit, using the max setting it gets my 10x12 feet room heated to 80˚ in 15~20 minutes. It has an oscillating feature that rotates about a 60˚ angle.

Pros: Quiet and many settings to keep your room at a comfortable temperature.

Cons: NO SAFETY FEATURE! I think this is the reason I took off a star. There is no safety function for this heater. If you accidentally knock it over, it'll stay on. I've used other heaters and they have a safety button on the bottom of the heater, if the heater is move even the slightest, it'll turn off as a safety precaution. Now why does this matter? If you have pets this can be dangerous; if your pet knocks the heater over and you're not around to see it, the heater will stay on and potentially danger items nearby or even catch things on fire due to the heat it is emitting. This can be a dangerous concern if you plan on leaving this heater on overnight!

Other concerns: There was a certain smell to the heater when I first used it. But after a few hours of use, there was no longer a smell. It consume 1500watts, it is on power hungry machine. I set the machine on "high" and on Max. When it gets to the temperature I'm comfortable with, I turn it on "low", so it shouldn't consume that much electricity.

Very warm heat. Love it! We don't have heat in our upstairs just yet so we needed something to get us by this winter until my husband puts in the ductwork. We have 3 bedrooms and 1 bath and it keeps it warm if we want it to. I love how you can control the heat it has a setting for 65,70,75 and MAX heat. It has a high and low speed but if you put it on low, you can't set the temp, it just runs on low the whole time. If you have it on high, it will shut off when it reaches the desired temp. It also has a oscillating setting which is nice I use it at night so it blows in all the bedrooms evenly. Happy with my purchase!

Honest reviews on Lasko 5309 Electronic Oscillating Tower Heater

Good heater, but if you are using this on a high setting which is 1500 watts, make sure the outlet you are using does not have anything else using the same outlet or the same line from other outlets or your will trip the breaker box. It you are using this as I am on a line not being shared, it is great. Uses 13.6 amps on high.

This little heater is perfect for heating a small room. It's quiet, and completely takes the chill away then some! Just purchased a second one for a slightly larger room. Hoping for the same result.

Very nice! It exceeded my expectations. Heavy gauge steel. Decent welds. The floral scroll work looks a little..too much in the pictures but is very nice in real life. Heavy duty masonry fasteners included, but would have been nice if masonry drill bit had been also. I used fasteners I already had with drill bit size I already had instead and it worked fine. I bought the 24 inch. It is actually 24 inches from wall to tip, more like 22 inches from wall to center of hook where pot hangs.

I would not hesitate to buy again!

Best Cuisinart® 12-cup Coffee Maker - Black Chrome Series Deals

Cuisinart® 12-cup Coffee Maker - Black Chrome Series
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I am VERY picky when it comes to coffee makers and have trouble finding one that doesn't make the coffee taste like plastic. This one works fine for me. I owned a DeLonghi before this one for about 6 years and the new DeLonghis have suffered a setback in quality as far as I am concerned. I returned about 3 of them. The minor flaw in this coffee maker is that the water gauge is on the inside and it is a little hard to tell what the level is. It is also a little tricky to pour water into. That wasn't enough for me to return it though, since the coffee tasted great!

I purchased this coffee maker 4 months ago and it has worked wonderful so far. This is the 3rd coffee maker I have had in the last year. It told me last week to clean it and I did. Makes wonderful coffee set to my taste, and stays as hot as I want it to. Looks sleek and beautiful on the cabinet. Only drawbacks are you have to pour slow so you don't dribble (but only when I rush) and clock can't be seen in dark so I keep it unplugged when not in use. I hope it lasts as long as it is warranteed for but would take 2 years.

* P.S.: It is now Dec2010 and I have had NO problems with this coffee maker for 3 years. When it finally does break I hope the new ones are just as good because I plan to buy another when needed. Even with a couple of drawbacks listed above it is the "Best Coffee Maker I've ever had".

* P.S.S.: It is now Dec2012 and still no problems with this coffee maker. Love, love, love it. Just have to clean it a couple of times a year and works great. I broke the pot and ordered a replacement.

We bought this coffee maker less than 2 years ago. For the past few months, we babysat it to restart it during the brew cycle. Now it is completely kaput. In researching other coffeemakers, I see that most manufacturers have at least 10 percent 1-star reviews, many because of the short lifespan of the product. After having a Braun coffee grinder for 25 years and prior coffee makers for at least 5, I expect more than a 2-year lifespan for something on which I spend nearly $100. We are going back to stovetop boiling and dripping into our own thermal carafe no coffeemaker involved.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart® 12-cup Coffee Maker - Black Chrome Series

I read reviews obsessively and couldn't find the combination of features and looks and color I wanted (I got this in white), and settled on this one.

I was worried about how difficult it would be to pour water in b/c of the placement of the well, but what you find out is that the Cuisinart pot is perfectly designed to sit on the lip of the well and pour the water on.

Wish the lid on the pot were attached with a lever, instead of being a pop on and off affair... and if I break the pot oi doesn't seem like a cheap replacement.

Small minus points for plastic knobs with cheap feeling little silver lines painted on which look like they'll get stripped off.. As mentioned the water gage is inside and isn't the easiest to read, you just have to measure carefully before you pour in no biggie. And small minus for the faintness of the LED clock, and that to program the machine, you have to click TWO settings, not one, but still I'm more impressed than I expected.

And Big points for style.

Oh and no plastic taste here.

This is the best coffee maker I ever had. I was reluctant to spend $80 on a coffee maker. After living with this one for 6 months now I can honestly say that I would have paid a hundred for it and still been just as happy.

I have seen many people who say that the water gauge being on the inside is a flaw in the design and they don't know how much water they put in. I do not understand this. I am 6'2" and can see the water gauge fine. That said, I never look at it anyway because I use the pot to measure the water and fill.

Another "flaw" that I read in many reviews referred to the place where you pour the water being too small. Not the case. It is not tricky AT ALL to pour in the water. I use the coffe pot to fill it and I have never spilled a drop. I don't have to be particularly careful to get the desired result, either.

This is a great coffe pot and an excellent value for the money. It makes a GREAT pot of coffee!

UPDATE 6-25-12

I have now had this coffee maker for about 3 years and still love it just as much. It's a great coffee maker!

UPDATE 9-22-13

Still going strong!

I BOUGHT THIS HEATER FOR MY GARAGE WHICH IS 20 X 25 (500SQ. FT.)AND IN THE DEAD OF WINTER IN A UNINSULATED GARAGE IT HEATED THE PLACE IN 15 MINUTES TO 70 DEGREES. THE FOLLOWING YEAR AFTER I INSULATED THE GARAGE IT TOOK 10 MIMUTES, BUT BEING INSULATED IT RETAINED THE HEAT MUCH LONGER . SO EITHER WAY IT WORKS GREAT AND IT HAS IT'S OWN THERMOSTAT , KEN FROM PA.

Lennox 48K98 OEM Control Circuit Board Review

Lennox 48K98 OEM Control Circuit Board
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I used this on a G20RQ2/3 Lennox whisper heat unit when my BCC2 LB-65126A caught on fire. This is the first day, but It works flawlessly and exactly the same as the old unit straight out of the box. "Plug and Play." My furnace guy was almost twice the price for a similar part. If you can stand to wait for regular shipping I would recommend getting this 48k98 circuit board. Also, if you know anything about attaching wires to identical terminals, this is very "do it yourself." As long as you can troubleshoot that your problem is with your original blower circuit control board, and turn your breaker off. Item arrived on the first estimated day (Friday when ordered on Monday).

Update 01/2012: Still working great after over a year of constant use (heat and AC). I'm very happy with this product. You can't beat the price, and it's not hard to do yourself.

My air conditioner blower stopped working and when I found that the motor was still good and the thermostat was good, this was all that was left. Connected it up, and voila, air.

Honest reviews on Lennox 48K98 OEM Control Circuit Board

I have a Lennox G20Q5/6e-125-2 furnace that had a the blower control board go bad in it. The board number was BCC2-1 REV C LB61708a . I couldn't find that exact number on any replacement list so contacted discountfurnacefilter.com who very quickly and on New Years eve mind you, called Lennox directly and replied that this board would work. It was nearly a perfect wire for wire match except for one. My old one had a "T" connection between the 24v and the "C" connection. This one has the 24v and 2 "C's" . Not wanting to screw it up I spent some time looking at it. When I flipped the board over to see just where this C went I saw that both c's were together on the same branch just as the T and C on my old one. So my old T wire went on the middle c wire and the furnace fired up and works as good as new ! yay ! 7 or 8 years ago the same thing happened and not having the time or desire to do it myself I called the local furnace repair man. They sent someone one over who looked at it for awhile then ordered a new board. $500 later my furnace was working. After that experience I thought I would try it myself since all it is is changing a board. It took about 20 minutes to do and cost only $69.50. Much better than being robbed by the repair man.
