I have three brands of these types of heater. I like this unit best for heat plus the purifier and humidifier are a bonus. Only negative is that it is somewhat noisy. Problem would be solved if had wood case, not metal, as do my other brands.

This product works exactly as described. I have the unit in a 500 sf +/area and it barely runs even while it is -0 outside. The humidifier is easy to fill and there is a noticeable diference in the air quality when the purifier is running.

Ive had this xtreme heater for a few weeks now and ever since I got it, we havent ran the oil heat at all. Heats most of the house in no time. Can tell a difference in air quality from air purifier. I haven't noticed it being noisy at all it very quiet I thought. For the price, it's really a great product.

Honest reviews on XtemePower 1500W Quartz Infrared Heater Humidifier Plasma Inverter

Very good choice with several features not found on other brands. Excellent choice for the the same/less money.

Only disappointment was noise level which is acceptable but louder than wooden models, and the "Quiet Mode" does drop sound level to about the same.

To me, the sound level was no reason not to buy.

This heater arrived in record time, works well and you can use tap water for the humidifier! The fan is a bit noisy but has a quiet setting that reduces the noise. Worth the price.

Reviews of 2 ft. Strip Heater for Bending Plastics

2 ft. Strip Heater for Bending Plastics
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

This thing is quickly becoming one of my favorite tools in the workshop. I would highly suggest it to anyone that wants to get working with bending acrylic sheets. The unit casing stays relatively cool to the touch. I use a piece of cement board as insulation between the heater and my workbench.

One word of caution. The heating element get hotter over time till it reaches max temperature (~800 degrees). Depending on what you are bending (width of acrylic) I would make sure that you are considering how long the heater has been on. Depending on the duration that the heater has been on it may take less time for the same thickness plastic to become bendable (and eventually too hot/bubble). You can also invest in a controller unit that will maintain a consistent heating element temperature (next item on my tool wish list).

This worked great. You do need to control the heat some how, I time how long it is been on and watch how soft the plastic is getting. The next thing will probably be a controller for the heater.

The product was very easy to install. It's fairly large, so it fit a little snugly into the electrical box. It looks really neat once installed. The LED's are not intuitive though. They blink even when the fan or lights are off. To stop this, switch the fan off with the large button. The LED's will continue to blink, but then press and hold the large button for 3-5 seconds until the fan comes on, then turn off with the large button again. The LED's won't flash until the next time one of the smaller, timer buttons are used. The instructions are not very helpful with describing this override. In a dark room the LED flashing is annoying. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the LED issue.

This is one of the few timers that has a range from 5 minutes to 4 hours. That's perfect for a bathroom timer whether for an embarrassing whiff, or you want it to completely dry out after a long shower. It's convenient to be able to start the time of your choice with a simple press of a button.

Installation was a breeze. I saw a comment about how deeply inset this product was. It fit snugly, but there was no problem or need to buy any additional hardware to accomodate it. I saw some comments about the blue LED light being bothersome. I don't mind it at all. Mine is being used in a bathroom, and not next to my face in a bedroom. Note also that this timer is not a precision clock. "Four hours" turned out to be more like four hours and twenty minutes. Again, that's just fine for my goals.

Now that I've tried it out, I'm ordering a second one.

Honest reviews on GE 15318 Push Button In-Wall Digital Countdown Timer

I was having a tough time finding a timer, that didn't need a neutral in the switchbox, for my new bathroom fan that takes very little power. This one even works if you have LED lighting or new low power fans. It works perfectly.

It takes about a minute to charge after you turn the power back on after installing, then it's easy to operate. Press the button for the time period you want and the fan starts. A blue LED blinks every few seconds to indicate which time has been selected. If the fan is running press the big unmarked button to stop. If the fan has already stopped press the large button to recall the last countdown period and start the fan. Pretty simple, yet very functional.

I cut one star for being so ugly!

I bought this to time-limit lights that my family (including me) have a bad habit of leaving on -like in the garage and basement. This is the only unit I found that works with just two wires and a green ground (single pole application) as is typical in may houses. Other units have three wires, which is a problem. Anyway WHEN FIRST INSTALLING IT BE PATIENT (!!) and wait 5 or 10 minutes before switching it on and off to see if it works, because it takes time to charge up the internal circuitry. This is mentioned in the instructions but not emphasized and I think the recommendation was for a couple of minutes, but I found it necessary to wait longer. After that it will switch on and off immediately.

Royal Sovereign Water-Resistant Wall-Mount Ceramic Bathroom Heater Review

Royal Sovereign Water-Resistant Wall-Mount Ceramic Bathroom Heater
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

I love wall mount heaters in lieu of space heaters in our old home, especially for the safety of our small children. I bought one of these last year for my son's room (10 x 12). It keeps his room toasty warm, even on the coldest mornings. The fan circulates the air very well, unlike many of the other new heaters (that, in my experience, tend to heat very well but only in small areas). I've had a couple of other brands of the wallmount heaters some of which look a lot fancier and and some of which have fancy thermostats, but so far this one is the best by far. I liked it so much, I ordered two more this year to replace some of the "fancy ones" -one for our living room and one for the bathroom. I cannot recommend these highly enough.

P.S. It doesn't hurt that the price this year is half of what I paid for the same unit last year!

this heater does not get hot, the heat comes and goes in waves. it only heats up on the bottom so you need to keep turning it over in your hand.

it is not at all what i was expecting. i would not recommend it.

This handwarmer has a microUSB port for charging. It lasts quite a few hours on one charge, but I have never used it from full charge to dead so I have no idea how long it actually is.

It doesn't need a "sock" or cover, as it never gets quite warm enough to risk burns. It doesn't hold heat when exposed to cold air, but kept in a pocket it keeps things nice and toasty.

MicroUSB cables and AC->USB adaptors are ubiquitous, so I can charge it pretty much anywhere. I got mine last year, and after the summer in storage it still works fine. My only complaint is that it can only warm up one pocket at a time, so I may invest in a second one.

I was a little hesitant on getting an electric hand warmer. However, when I got this I was more than pleased. Great quality and the battery lasts a long time on high (6.5 hrs).

While a lot of my euro friends made claims that only Americans get faux fireplaces, everyone seems to like it now that they get to sit in front of it and stare at the lights. It really does have the same relaxing effect of a fire. The lights can go on whether one turns on the heat function or not. The heat function works fantastic as suggested. Heats up a 400 sq foot space with no problem. I have a flat panel TV on top and there is no problem having the heater on with the TV there.

The console is very sturdy. There is plenty of room for cable box, books, and other media related items. You get the typical backing which includes holes for cable cords on both top and bottom. It is very easy to put together. The lights in the fireplace have the same relaxing effect of a fire.

It's a little pricey, given that it is literally a heating unit in a media shelf. However, I think if you tried to recreate this look separately it would never work. Moreover, I like that it's space saving. I have a fire place and a TV unit all together. That's particularly key for your typical NYC apartment.

All in all very happy!!

Comfort Smart Mighty Oak 1000 Sq Ft Portable Infrared Heater Reviews

Comfort Smart Mighty Oak 1000 Sq Ft Portable Infrared Heater - 10QH8000-O115
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

So my first thoughts when I saw these things being advertised was...Who is Twin Star, It's not a EdenPure, it's made in China, it'll probably break down quickly, I wonder if it even heats like it says it does. I had been seriously debating buying a EdenPure but was holding off because of the price and hoping I could convince someone to get me one for christmas. I my co-worker told me that Costco was selling EdenPure heaters for $200 but when I double checked it was these things for $150 at Sams, I was cautious because when I spend over $100 on something I want to know it works and that it is of high quality. But I took the risk anyway and bought a 2 year extended warranty to go with it. So first night, I take it home and turn my central heat off, go down to my uncarpeted (but insulated) basement. It only got down to 50 degrees but that's still pretty chilly in a basement. if it didn't show me something I was taking it back tomorrow. I turned it on, gave it an hour and guess what...it started working well, the basement was WARM (I even broke a sweat under the covers), I was shocked. I went upstairs and it was way cooler than MY BASEMENT. It came with a neat little remote control that works for people like myself that get warm and lazy and don't want to get up in the middle of the night to adjust the heater. My fiance's father has an actual EdenPure that he uses in his basement and it works, I must say that in my opinion this heater matched the EdenPure's performance. I expected it to fail but it didn't. I got this for $150 plus $20 for the protection plan, the average price I saw on the EdenPure is $400. Glad I kept that extra $200+ in my pocket. Now here's where I knock on wood, at the time I am writing this I have only had this heater for a few days. I'm from St. Louis Missouri, so I have no idea how this thing will hold up during the coldest of winter months but if it's performance is anything less than what it has been, or if this thing breaks down, I will update this review.

More on the performance: It's very quiet which I like, gives off a cool glowing effect but isn't too bright. but the BEST THING ABOUT THIS HEATER IS...it does not dry out the air. The biggest problem with conventional combustion heaters especially for me and especially for the winter is that they dry out the air that's already dry from the cold. Using conventional heaters every winter I get nose bleeds from the dry air due to cold and the twice dried air from the heater burning the little water that was in the air away. I had to plug up a humidifier to try and add a little moisture to the air but the results were limited. The infrared technology does not heat in the same way that combustion heaters do so the air doesn't get dried out and I can breathe easy,

In summary it is MY PERSONAL OPINION at this moment that this thing heats as well as a edenpure costs less than half the money and best of all doesn't dry out the air. I can't talk about the durability yet but I hope this thing holds up because I already love it

Ordered this after reading numerous reviews and thought for my application would work. Our house is a 1970's ranch with double paned windows and adequate but not great insulation in walls and ceiling (8 foot ceilings). Purchased this with the intent to heat a family room kitchen area of about 400 sq ft but with open doorways into the rest of the house. Wanted to augment heat pump so set the heat pump temp to 68. Expected this Infrared Heater to warm family room/kitchen area to 74 degrees and set it to that temp. Was never successful in getting the room to that temp. The temp as displayed on the unit would go up to 70 once in a while but after a minute or two drop back to 68 or 69. Understood that the temp reading might be variable in its accuracy but room felt chilly and never did take the chill off even after letting the unit run for several hours. The unit did feel like it was putting out warm air so was perplexed as to why it could never bring the room temp up. But in the end would not achieve the desired results and at this price point felt the only option was to return it. If you are going to try this make sure to buy through Amazon as there were absolutely no issues returning this which from what I've read is not always the case with other vendors of this type of product.

The two stars are for the finish of the cabinet. Very pretty and assembly appeared very solid and of quality.

This unit may work in a closed room environment but with the stated 1000 sq ft capabilities thought it would work much better in a smaller somewhat closed off area.

I bought the Duraflame 10HM8000. It does look nice and have a handy remote. The front grill does not get hot so its good for pets and children. However I found that it could not heat a room larger than a bedroom. I left in on for 3 hours in a 400 sq ft living room and it did not raise the temperature 1 degree. Yet it did work fine in our Master bedroom. It does make some noise but its fairly quiet. The house is in Chicago and was built in 1968 and needs an insulation upgrade. Ultimately since this was too much to spend on a bedroom heater, I returned it and bought a Mica-Thermic panel just for the bedroom.

Honest reviews on Comfort Smart Mighty Oak 1000 Sq Ft Portable Infrared Heater

Not only do you feel warmer, the floors are warm and there are no hot spots anywhere in the room or the house with this new technology for heating. I no longer use my central unit in the house because it is cheaper to operate two of these units to heat my home. I have a third for upstairs but only use it when I need it.

I have two of these units plus one Eden Pure that quite frankly I spent too much money on because this one is equally as strong and good with the results. I got mine from Sam's for less then this one on Amazon but it is the identical company unit they sell.

I tell everyone about this technology and these units. Why spend more on energy than necessary, plus the heat you feel within the room isn't the same at all.

I purchased this as an alternative to central heating, and found that this ceramic heater offered good performance for the price I paid.

Standing around 30" high, the Lasko 5365 saves a lot on floor space since it takes up more vertical space than horizontal space. Also because of this design, it can heat up more of the room at the same time.

One other thing I liked about this heater was the safety switch: as soon as you tip it over, the heater will shut itself off. If you immediately pull it back up, the heater turns back on. If it stays down or down at an angle, the heater will completely shut down. For a household with kids, this could be what saves the home from going up in flames.

The heater itself is quiet, and even though it does beep (when you turn it on, or switch modes etc.) the beep isn't obtrusive. I have another space heater which is very loud, so maybe I am making an unfair comparison.

The heater also has some other great features such as oscillation (it can turn about 180 degrees back and forth), high/low mode change (high mode for higher bursts of heat, while low mode is both quieter and emits less heat from the grille), and a timer function for those who like to set-and-forget.

Aesthetically, the Lasko 5365 also offers a modern look, which together with the blue backlit LCD display, resembles other modern appliances (DVD/stereo players, Windows Media Center PCs, etc.) in the household. Since many of my peripherals are either black or silver, this heater fits right into the decor.

One other interesting facet of this heater is that it can be remote-controlled (the included small remote has large rubber buttons and large printing, good for those with bad eyesight; uses two AAA batteries which are included). Unfortunately there is no place to hang the remote on the heater itself (unlike other heaters), but its a small caveat.

Overall the Lasko 5365 offers many of the great features found on other heaters, but at a nominal price. Considering having to pay for the high price of natural price each month, the Lasko 5365 is a very good cost-effective alternative.

I just recently moved to San Francisco, in the winter time. In order to save from a high heating bill, i searched high and low for a cheap alternative. THis brand is it. I was using a solarus sun heater...and it got too hot! This model oscillates is at a great height, and has a remote control and timer. It's everything you need to keep you warm at night.

Best Deals for Lasko Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control

I've been using this heater for almost a month now, and so far, it does a good job of keeping an average sized bedroom warm. I do, however, have a few cons when using this heater during the night.

Pros:

1. It has a remote control

2. It oscillates

3. The low setting is nice and quiet

4. It has a timer, so the unit will turn off after a certain number of hours (1-8 hours)

5. It has a thermostat setting, so it will try to keep the temperature you set it at by turning itself on if the current room temperature is 1 degree below the temp you want the room at, or turn off if the room is 3 degrees above the temp you want.

6. It has a good height. It's not one of those heaters that direct the heat to your feet first.

Cons:

1. Pressing any of the buttons gives out a pretty loud beep (or two, or three). If someone else is sleeping in the same room, he/she will most likely wake up from this sound, especially if they're a light sleeper.

2. Speaking of light sleeper (which I, personally, am), the high setting of this unit is a little loud to sleep through, but I'm able to sleep through the low setting.

3. Again, for those light sleepers, the thermostat setting (mentioned in Pro #5 above) has its drawback during the night. Because the unit is trying to figure out if it the room is colder than the temperature set by the user, it will turn itself on and off (sounds like a High setting, so it'll be fairly loud) for this temperature check which lasts maybe 2 seconds. BUT, unfortunately, it keeps going through this temperature check about every 2 minutes or so. Not good for the light sleeper. ;)

4. The blue LCD remains lit, so in a dark room, the LCD might be too bright for those used to sleeping completely in the dark. Just cover it up with a post-it note or something if it bothers you.

I would probably give this unit 4 stars if the beeping sound wasn't so piercing loud and if I wasn't such a light sleeper.

Honest reviews on Lasko Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control

I recently bought the Lasko 6350, which I guess is the newer model of this type. It looks very similar except the display on top. I got mine for 49 bucks at target.

Pros

1. It has a remote control

2. It oscillates

3. The low setting is nice and quiet

4. It has a timer, so the unit will turn off after a certain number of hours (1-8 hours)

5. It has a thermostat setting, so it will try to keep the temperature you set it at by turning itself on if the current room temperature is 1 degree below the temp you want the room at, or turn off if the room is 3 degrees above the temp you want.

I must say this unit works very well and heats up my room fairly quickly. They replaced the blue display with a just a digital number readout in green against a black background. It can been seen in the dark as the numbers are quiet big and its not bright that it would keep you up (as in the previous post of the old model).

Cons

1. Loud in High/Auto mode. In the high mode, it is louder than my laptop. However, the low mode is very quiet and I hear more of my laptop fan than I do of the heater.

2. Low mode isnt temp adjustable, ie, it just kinda maintains a steady temperature. (72 degress on the display)

3. The temp indicator is off. It indicates a room temp of 74 when my home thermostat is showing 80. What this means is just that the temperature displayed is probably just 6 degrees lower than it probably is at. What this then means is that on low setting 72 is actually 78ish so its not so bad

What I end up doing is just turing the heater on high when I get home and then turn it to low once it hits my set temp. I is pretty good at keeping a steady heat. Even though the heater is kinda loud on high, I have yet to find a heater thats not that loud. My gf has a different heater by DeLongi and its just as loud. Hense, I dont thinks its so much a brand specific problem as it is a general product problem. IE, in order to disipate heat, you need a fan and fans are loud when blowing hard. Its unavoidable to move that much air without a fast and loud fan. If there was such a thing as a low noise fan, planes would be a lot quieter.

All in all, I gave it 4 stars just because the temp display is accurate but not precise (ie displays the a "consistantly" 6 degrees too low) which is an easy fix.

P.S. Please note, I dont know if my home heating unit is accurate either. Ive more than once thought it was off so it might be my home temp control displaying an incorrect temp

I just recently purchased this heater to help heat whichever room I'm occupying as I have a poorly insulated apartment. This heater definitely does wonders. It heats up a pretty good sized room fairly quickly, and keeps it warm. It's even good in drafts (although the instructions say that you should get rid of the drafts). I can put it by the door or the window and it will push warm air towards me, rather than cold.

I very much appreciate it.

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I bought this heater to try to warm up an addition on our home. We've lived here 12 years, and every winter, we've frozen in the den. It's built on a crawl space, and new insulation, windows, and roof haven't helped. Needless to say, I've tried several heaters. Just got the Lasko this week, and it's the first one we've tried that heats the entire room. We're actually at 69 to 70 degrees. Also, it's quiet and the back of the unit stays very cool, so it can be placed right up against a wall. I am loving this heater!

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

Strengths:

Powerful heater, it warms up a room fairly quickly. The heated air can be directed horizontally or vertically with the vent control. This heater would be a good choice in cold climates.

Thermostat seems pretty good at keeping the room at a constant temperture.

Has auto (thermostat controlled), low, high heating modes. Only the low heating mode is quiet.

Cool to touch, can be placed against wall.

Remote control works well.

Weaknesses:

Unit is not as quiet as would be hoped. This may be an issue if you are watching TV or going to sleep with the heater on. In the low heat mode, the fan is fairly quiet, but then the heater will remain constantly on (the automatic mode that controls the heater using the thermostat uses both high and low heat modes). The remote control can help alleviate this problem.

Unit is LARGER than most alternatives (be sure to note dimensions). Not as easy to store in summer months.

Remote control "beep" from the unit is pretty loud.

We decided not to replace our central heat and use space heaters since it rarely gets below freezing here in SE TExas. These work great. We put in front of the large windowsthey can be put right up against a wall. Set the thermostat at about 68 and quickly takes the chill out of the air. I am very happy with these.

Review of Bionaire BCH3620-U Tower Ceramic Heater with Digital Control

Bionaire BCH3620-U Tower Ceramic Heater with Digital Control
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

I bought this heater at Costco for $43 last week. It is quiet, well put together, and really warms the room. My only complaint is that the digital thermostat frequently displays an inaccurate temperature -like 74 when it's actually 69 degrees. I know because I put a second thermostat next to the unit just to see. While this is annoying (especially when you have to get out of bed into a cold room rather than a nice and warm room), I'm pretty happy overall, and have just learned to set the target temperature higher (like 76 degrees) to compensate.

We bought 2 of these ceramic heaters; 1 is perfect and works well, the other 1 has made noise since we got it (although it does heat well) and when we called Bionaire to try to get it repaired or replaced, we were told we couldn't do so. We don't think we'd buy these heaters again for that reason, although they do work pretty well. We don't feel the customer service and followup is good on these products.

I've been using small heaters like this for 15 years, and this one is by far the best. I see that one guy on here got a defective unit, and that's a bummer. He should have returned it and gotten a new one, because this thing is fantastic. It's quieter than any other heater I've owned, and it works perfectly all the time. I've been using this heater for a year now, and have had no problems whatsoever.

The remote control is what makes this an instant favorite for me. Usually when I wake up in the morning I'm really cold and don't want to get out of bed. No problem... I just reach for the remote control and turn the heater on high. Within minutes it's warm, and I'm ready to roll out of bed.

If you're looking for a small heater for a single room (or studio apt), then (in my opinion) this is by far the best choice.

Honest reviews on Bionaire BCH3620-U Tower Ceramic Heater with Digital Control

This heater is INCREDIBLY LOUD, even if you set it to the lowest setting, it makes no difference. I bought one these heaters for my parents and they did not even want it because of the superfluous noise and it's poor quality. It takes hours to warm up an enclosed bedroom and it dispenses heat unevenly. You're better off with a basic heater or no heater at all.

We actually want to buy this heater for our baby room. But when we turn this heater on, our baby wake up and crying because it's so loud. Don't recommend to buy.

Review of Portable USB Beverage Fridge Coolar and Warmer 2-in-1 (Black) in

The product cools the beverage by having a cold zone on the bottom. It doesn't keep the entire beverage cold but helps keep it cool. It is a little awkward to get the can in/out of the cooler but overall it's a neat concept and fits well on a desk next to my keyboard.

There is absolutely no insulation and is s tight fit for one soda can. I did not use because I was hoping it would fit my mug which is just a little bigger than a soda can. Price was too low to pay postage to return.

I bought this heater almost a year ago from camping world to have for our motorhome. I brought it in and set it up in the house and started using it, liked it so well that we used it in the house all last winter. I started it up already this year as it has dropped below freezing and it kicked off and runs like new!

We have an older quartz two tube heater and have it toward the back of the house and this wood cased Comfort Glow up in the living /kitchen area. It has been windy and overcast some days and cold at night and the central unit hasn't been turned on yet. This unit and it's remote work well, the fan is smooth sounding with no whines or dragging while starting or stopping and cabnit is wood and very well made.

I am ordering another just like it as it doesn't seem to use much electricity, so we can keep the propane fired central unit from running much this season.

As well as this heater runs starting in it's second season, I feel like it will be running great for many years.

The only con: I had to get used to the digital readout setting as sometime it needs readjusting to get the comfort level set just right.

In all, this unit overshot my expectations and until it proves any different, I would reccomend it to anyone.

Takes a while to assemble need to get some grey grout from Lowe's there will be one gap between the pieces but it is an easy fix. Over all really good. Wish I could get a gas insert for it the fuel is a little high dollar but my wife enjoys it and that is all that matter. one more thing it is cheaper here by several hundred dollars on other sites.
