The Duraheat gives you heat when you need it now. I run it for about 15 mins. and turn it off. I like because it has a fuel gauge so you won't run it dry. I recommend the DuraHeat.

Best Soleus Air # HC7-15-01 Ceramic Tower Heater, 750W/1500Watts, White Deals
I've had this unit for a year. It remains fully functional and very useful as a room heater. I've dropped it a couple of times and no problems. I like the safety mechanism whereby it shuts off if not sitting on a flat surface; I'd rather not start any fires. The grill covering the heating element has small holes and therefore appears secure as far as not letting anything fly inside to cause a fire. I am not able to see any hot-red heating elements, unlike in some space heaters, which adds to the impression of safety. The heater has two warmth settings, and I mostly use the higher one and very rarely the cooler one. It also has a fan-only setting where no heat is imparted. The tall shape helps distribute the heat more evenly, I believe, as does the fact that it rotates. I rarely use the rotating function because I don't think it adds much to distributing the heat, but I don't really know since I rarely use this function. The unit is also very quiet.
PROS:
Price.
Durability.
Safety mechanisms.
Linear standing shape helps distribute heat and takes up only a small footprint for storage in a corner of your closet.
Quiet.
CONS:
The Low and Fan-only settings provide little added value.
I picked this up by chance one day when I was in a supermarket and saw it marked down. As I was in need of a space heater, I decided to buy it. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out and was going to return it if it didn't work out. This unit has worked out well for me for the price.

I ordered this product specifically because it was labeled as being 'quiet'. When it arrived (on time) it was smaller than expected although when I plugged it in and fired it up it was putting out a surprising amount of heat rather quickly. The BIG problem was the rattling noise. It sound like the casing was never connected properly to the internals and it does rattle. Okay for some, annoying for me. Don't know if I will be able to sleep with it on. One really cool feature on it is the anti tip device which is just a button on the bottom of the base on the floor side that has to be depressed by the units weight in order for it to work. All in all, heats well, annoying sound.Best Deals for Soleus Air # HC7-15-01 Ceramic Tower Heater, 750W/1500Watts, White
This heater works as expected and takes up vey little space. The staff member I brought it for needs it to keep a leg-brace warm because the limb does not receive proper circulation. She has not complained.Honest reviews on Soleus Air # HC7-15-01 Ceramic Tower Heater, 750W/1500Watts, White
I got this heater for my dorm at school. The room is probably about 15x15 (I'm really not sure but its big enough for four guys) and it definitely makes a difference in the temperature of the room. It can be somewhat weak when you are using it to blow heat directly on you as a fan but i had a really small desk fan i put behind it to generate more air so i don't have that problem really. I would recommend this heater, i like the swivel feature and the whole lack of thermostat isn't a big deal. Put it on high and you are good if its cold. I put 4 stars just because it isn't perfect but it will get the job done. A more expensive heater i didn't have the extra cash for would get 5 stars.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Soleus Air # HC7-15-01 Ceramic Tower Heater, 750W/1500Watts, White
Soleus Air # HC7-15-01 does NOT have a thermostat. The description in Amazon says it does and that is wrong. The cost to ship this back is too high, so we will keep this unit for use in our barn work area. It's a shame that we have to keep a product that was described wrong. The unit looks like it would be great if it had a thermostat as described.

Reviews of Soleus Air PH4-13R-01 13,000 BTU Evaporative Portable Air
I did extensive research before purchasing my portable air conditioner. Thanks to some reviewers I learned that having a dual hose is key, as a double and contrary pressure inside one hose could create problems in the future (the AC pulls air from outside and releases air from the room, it's a double process get a dual hose). So I searched for a dual hose as a pre-requisite and the only one I found on Amazon was this 13,000 btu Soleus. Even though the room I needed it for was a relatively small bedroom, I went for this item. And I'm so happy I did!
The machine is really big, really huge, and extremely heavy. But pretty good looking, with a great design. Packaging was large and bulk, and it traveled a long way to where I am. The side panels were a bit damaged from shipping and handling and I hoped it wouldn't be a problem, so far not a problem.
There is nothing portable about it. Besides its heavy weight, once you install the window kit, the last thing you want is to keep moving it around and compromise a good installation.
I did not receive one of the accessories, the sliding panel, and the instructional dvd and manual showed that this was necessary for installing the AC on my window, but we figured it out in the end with what we had. My window is a horizontal sliding window. I adapted two of the panels I had (one with two exhaust hose openings and one with no openings) to one end of the window, mending the two to cover the entire vertical length. Attaching the exhaust hoses was really easy, all I had to do was make sure that the window kit was well screwed in my window, to hold, and then stretch the hoses and attach them to the AC unit.
When I plugged it in and turned it on it sounded like I had a plane's engine right inside my room. It was so loud! Later I grew used to it and now it doesn't bother me anymore, in fact, it helps, because it simply eliminates any other noises you might have from outside.
The first night after about three hours the AC mode simply shut off and it went into fan mode. A red light was on, indicating that the condensate holding tank was full. I couldn't believe this, since it had been on for only three hours! So I fit a small tray from my toaster oven under the drain plug and discarded all the water that came out of it.
The second night, we figured we should just leave the drain plug open and the toaster oven tray under it. We woke up to a flooded room, as the tray is barely enough to hold so much water.
Since the drain plug is so near the floor, the only solution was to put the AC on top of a low coffee table, which in fact, shortened the length of the exhaust hoses, optimizing the overall cooling capacity, as one of the hoses gets pretty warm and the longer the hose, the harder the AC will have to work to cool the air around it.
Now we have it all set. Our AC sits on top of a coffee table, with a bucket behind it and the tiny hose that came with it attached to the drain plug. The drain plug is always open, and the water that comes out of the unit simply fills the bucket to about 1/3, it is so much water! But the AC mode never shuts off anymore, and you get some healthy humidifying from having a bucket full of water in the bedroom and the hoses are less stretched, ensuring better cooling.
So far, so good! The AC does an excellent job of cooling the room and I absolutely love it!
As for heating this unit is completely useless. A $50 ceramic unit will heat better than this heat pump.
Don't bother buying if your temp outside goes below 40 this unit will not heat to keep even 65. (This was heating a room around 250 sq ft)
Overpriced air conditioner.
UPDATE OCT 21, 2012 This A/C ran 24/7 up until about a week ago when it finally cooled off and never once did it leak or need to be drained. I am extremely happy with my Soleus Air PH4-13R-01!
UPDATE JUNE 30, 2013 It was very humid here and I ran this 24hours straight more for the humidity than for the heat at 61°F and it did not leak once. I have it set up to exhaust to the outside and intake inside air as my home is loose. Also I like having it set up next to the entry way window as that way I can use floor fans to direct the air up to 30feet into the room(s) I want. This weighs 80lbs so you really don't want to be moving it all the time. I am very thrilled with this portable A/C, dehumidifier, heater, and fan. I have used it as a heater during the winter too and that was great.
Overall, we are quite pleased with the unit, but it takes up quite a bit of space in the bedroom. Sometimes I think the window unit was easier in that sense certainly cheaper / took less indoor space.
A word about capacity the previous unit was only 8000 BTU this unit claims to be larger in capacity and it may very well be but it certainly seems to take a bit longer to cool the room / upper floor of the house. (this seems typical of this type read up online) BUT it isn't nearly as noisy as the old unit was. There is a small rattle that is solved by placing a small pillow on the left side of the unit annoying, but workable.
The remote is probably a cool feature, but we simply set to temp and move on. We never touch it. I'm curious how the heater will work in the winter.
Relatively easy to install took about an hour the unit is quite heavy over 100 lbs easily takes some effort to move.
Don't turn on for 24 hours after you've moved the unit especially if turned on it's side. I let the unit sit in our bedroom for a few days as we had to set it at an angle to transport.
CONS this unit is expensive, takes up a lot of room INSIDE of the house, might take a bit longer to cool than a window unit.
PROS easy to install, remote nice feature, works pretty well.

I purchased this unit in July 2008 and I have had nothing but problems with it. The Soleus support line is always busy, and when you do get someone, they look for an answer and never call back. My front panel to control the unit does not work, and I have tried to get Soleus to replace the panel, with no luck. I have to use the remote control to use the A/C. Around 2 years of service, and the unit started leaking water. It appears the drain line for the unit is not placed far enough back, and so the water pan just drips out of the unit, right onto the floor. You can pay to have the unit shipped back and repaired they said, but the minimum charge is $150 plus shipping charges. Don't waste your money!Best Deals for Soleus Air PH4-13R-01 13,000 BTU Evaporative Portable Air

The heat pump for our house is probably a bit too old and under-sized for our house. For the last seven years or so I have placed a very small window AC unit in our (2nd story) master bedroom to help cool the house in the summer. Thinking that the window unit was making the house look a bit trashy we decided to replace it with this unit.Overall, we are quite pleased with the unit, but it takes up quite a bit of space in the bedroom.

Broan-Nutone 9422P Two Bulb Heater Reviews
List Price: $77.99
Sale Price: $37.00
Today's Bonus: 53% Off
I was a little worried about the installation but because I had access to the attic above the bathroom it went well. I removed the existing light fixture since there are other lights in the bathroom and removed the electrical box. Next I cut the opening larger to accomodate the 9422P. I slid it between the beams from the exposed attic side after moving some insulation. Wired it up, slapped on the plastic grill and turned it on. I used 2 red heater bulbs and I have to say it doesn't make a big diffrence. The bulbs were GE Heat Lamp, 250 Watt 4.8 out of 5 stars Price: $7.69 . I do have a large bathroom 140 sq ft and maybe that's why I don't feel a lot of heat. The point is it will help but don't have high expectation that it will make a huge difference.I did put 2 500W red bulbs in the fixture and they are working great.

Best MVCX815 Magnetic Vent Covers (8" X 15", 3-pk)) Deals
These Deflecto vent covers are thin and are not strong enough to hold up on ceiling vents. It may work for floor vents.
I imagine if they are used on vents on walls or certainly on ceilings they will blow right off. But on my wall mounted returns they stay exactly where I put them and the results in the balanced cooling in my home have been great.
Definitely worth a few dollars. Use them in the right application and you will not be disappointed.

Wasted hard earned money. This item is too heavy and magnetic force too weak to stick to vents it's inteded for. Tried it on several types of vents, even purchased new vents to accomodate it. It falls off quickly or within a minute and that's w/o any air pressure!Best Deals for MVCX815 Magnetic Vent Covers (8" X 15", 3-pk))

Although other reviews mentioned the lack of magnetic sticking ability, I found they work just fine. My cold air vents have not been painted...other than the factory paint. Perhaps poor results are found if the vents have several coats of paint? In my case, I carefully placed them over the correct size vent, and they stuck.

In a word incredible. This item took about ninety minutes to assemble, from opening the box to removing the trash when finished. I should state that I have assembled many household items over the last twenty years. That greatly aided my ninety minutes completion time.
This is a beautiful piece of oak furniture. We purchased it to support a seventy inches, one hundred plus pounds television. The television extends about one inch beyond either side of the cabinet. It has excellent support for the weight of the television, showing no signs of bowing in the center of the top shelf.
The fire that is produced by the leds' is phenomenal. Simply stated, it appears real. There are five levels of brightness. Directions state the electric blower can warm a four hundred square foot {20x20} room. I doubted that. I no longer doubt it though. Of course it will not warm the area as quickly as your heater or heat pump, but it will get there and you will have to eventually reduce the heat setting.
Any body who gets this item will enjoy it. Shipping is fast also, not a long wait.

Despite the clear advisory, I missed the fact that the flame/heater insert was not included... My fault.The piece is beautiful and fairly easy to assemble. Some holes did not line up quite right, so I had to do some drilling. Looks great with the fireplace insert and gives off a good amount of heat.

I purchased this fireplace to hold my 70 inch TV. It looks wonderful and the wood is darker than I thought but matches my coffee table perfectly. The flames look good with varying colors to look like real fire. Not sure about heat as it is summer and too soon to tell. Definitely hard to put together took a lot of hours and plan on having a drll with small drill bits to drill holes that are supposed to be there. The delivery was quick, the company called within a a day or two to set up delivery.
