I got this to help move the air conditioning around the hours. It moves air ok with the two fans and i like the way it has different positions for each fan but the fans themselves are a little weak. Its a good product but I would wait for it to come down a little from the $50+ i paid for it.

May have been a good fan, but it arrived broken. I was not happy, but Amazon's return policy was great. Got a sticker for free and had it picked up at my home, no problem at all. I bought a new one which arrived in good condition and works great.

We have this heater in our bedroom so that we don't have to heat it during most of the day. It works just fine, but the fan is pretty loud at night and wakes up both my wife and I occasionally. We also have the larger version from the same manufacturer and it is more quiet. I wish I would have gotten another of the large-size instead of the smaller one.

I knew from researching that these little heaters were designed to supplement the existing heating source--not replace it-and that results would vary according to various factors. While most brands had similar features, I chose this one for its compact style and good looks. (it resembles an old-fashioned cabinet radio) Like everyone in cold winter areas, the ever-higher cost of fuel keeps one hand on the thermostat and the other on the wallet, and keeping costs down was the primary reason for trying this infrared heater. I wanted to use the heater where we spend the most time: in the living/family room where the T.V. is. My concern was that this first-floor room did not meet ideal criteria: it's part of an open floor plan, has a staircase for heat to escape, lots of windows, and the only independent electrical outlet would put the heater toward the furnace thermostat. My plan was to use the Lifesmart about 12 hours during the day hours (we are night workers) and see if we could feel adequately warm while burning less oil. Here's what I found:

The heater will keep the area a few degrees warmer than your furnace thermostat is set for. You're not going to get an 80 degree room when your thermostat is set on 62. Sunny winter days are the exception--the room's temperature will rise more on those days, and the Lifesmart will actually cycle off. When the room temperature feels comfortable, the low setting will maintain it. (great feature) While the heater is running, guess what's not kicking on as often: the furnace. (cha-ching) There is definitely a cozy feeling with this type of heat, in the room in which it's used. It helps to pay attention on a daily basis to various conditions so you can adjust accordingly from high to low setting, or to raise or lower the furnace thermostat, etc. We crunched a few (kilowatt hours) numbers, but I think we'd have to do that over a few seasons for any data to actually make sense. We used about as much oil as we did last year during the warmest winter on record--and this winter was far colder.

Yes, the second floor was cooler when operating the Lifesmart--no surprise there. Yes, the electric bill was higher, but only about 60 dollars a month in comparison to, say, an extra hundred gallons of oil saved. We chose to keep the thermostat low (64 and even 62) for the savings, but could've kept the temperatues even warmer without spending more than usual. In a smaller area, in rooms that could be closed off, in differenct situations than ours, the results would even be better. The Lifesmart looks good, is light and the filter easy to remove and maintain, and I am very pleased with the purchase.

The unit itself was delivered on time and works out of the box. I have other Infrared units and wanted this one for a closet and for that confined space it works very well. The write-up suggests the unit can heat upto 800 sq feet which I highly doubt and is only good as a suppliment to traditional heating. Its also a lot louder than my larger duraflame unit so if noise is a concern this may not be the best unit for you. Also don't buy the hype that it will save you 30%-40% on heating. Overall if you are looking to heat a small area and don't mind a moderately noisy blower this unit works great for the price.

This is actually my first time writing a review for any purchase I've ever made online and I frequently shop online; I felt compelled to put my feedback and stamp of approval on this product. For the price this is a great deal.

First and foremost: I did a lot of research and browsing both on and off of Amazon to find out safety concerns regarding space heaters. As many of you may see if you've been browsing other units, people complain that some units become very hot, as well as their plugs/cords, and that they pose a fire hazard. For this reason I did my research and not only does this unit have a tilt shut off (unit needs to be flat on the ground, if lifted it will auto shut) it also has a feature that if it overheats the unit will also shut off. These are both great features, I'm all about safety first.

Aside from these features, the heater works great for me. As others say, the fan is a bit weak, but this also makes the unit extremely quiet. Regardless of the fan being weak, this little unit does a great job of heating a medium sized bedroom. Set it on high, after about 30 minutes you feel a noticeable difference; walk away for an hour or two and the area will be very warm. Get the area you want to the right temp and set it on low and this unit will do a good job of maintaining the heat. After about 6 hours of use I was still able to touch the front grill of the unit and it was hot but not enough to burn me. Turn the fan setting on and the grill will be completely cool to the touch in under a minute. Also the cord and plug are both well insulated and have never even felt warm after hours of use.

On top of all this, I think not only is the unit being quiet and working well very attractive, but I also really like that there is no element that heats up orange on this unit. So not only is it quiet, but it is also not emitting disturbing light.

All in all I am very pleased with this unit. It serves my purposes quite well, it was a reasonable price, and the safety features make this unit a complete winner in my book. Do yourself a favor, spend a few extra dollars whether on this heater or a different one and make sure you get the safety features, its well worth it to have the piece of mind; protect yourself and the ones you love.

This heater was exactly what I was looking for. It's small, easy to use and quickly heats up my fairly-large family room. The room is build on a slab, so it is drafty and cold. This does the trick. In fact, if I leave it on for a couple of hours, it heats the entire first floor of my colonial house. I highly recommend it!

Honest reviews on Comfort Zone® Citadel Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater/Fan CZ488

I live in a very old house with a poorly functioning heater. I live in Kansas and we have wickedly harsh winds that rip through the shoddy windows very swiftly. My room maintained a temp of about 40 degrees when it's below freezing outside.

I have this space heater in my room which is approx 12x9ft.

First night I plugged it in on high, had to get up two hours later because I was sweltering hot. I typically only turn it on after dark when it gets very cold outside and when I do I only need it on the low setting.

The safety feature I love a great deal is that if it's not completely level flat on its base it turns it's heating, rotating and fan elements off. You hear a click if you try to scoot it and trigger it. This does not require you to turn the knob to get it going again, just place it back on a level surface.

A GREAT buy, similar items are twice the cost at department stores. I am extremely pleased.

Hope this review helped!

I bought this heater because I own a programmable thermostat (WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat) that works with analog heat/AC devices. (Basically, you plug your analog heater/AC unit into it, and when the temp gets to a certain level, it activates the plug, starting the heater/AC.) My plan was to use the two devices together to heat only the bedroom in our apartment at night, rather than the entire apartment (since we only need the bedroom to be warm at night and would theoretically save energy/money that way). Why not just purchase a digital heater with a built-in thermostat, you ask? I already had the programmable thermostat, so I wanted to give it a shot. Anyway, this heater ended up working well for that purpose, but it almost didn't and required far too much user intervention (see below).

When I first started using the heater, I found that it would intermittently rattle; it sounded like a miniature jackhammer (very miniature, but a jackhammer nonetheless). The sound was loud/annoying enough that my wife and I had trouble sleeping when it occurred. I later opened the heater up (obviously not recommended, but at least I unplugged it first) and looked around for the source of the rattling. I'm still not sure exactly what it was, but I discovered that if I tugged slightly on part of the plastic housing that surrounds the fan, the rattling stopped. So I drilled a hole in it, anchored it with a cable tie and closed it back up. Now the heater is as quiet as it should be (about as quiet as a regular oscillating fan that's on "low"), but it certainly took some effort. Again, I don't know if this is a common problem or if I just got a weird one. In summary...

Pros:

-is relatively quiet when working properly (about as quiet as a regular oscillating fan on "low"; I'm a light sleeper and I can sleep through it quite easily) (note that there is no difference between the "low" and "high" modes sound-wise)

-puts out plenty of heat, in my opinion, for a small-to-medium-size room (may not work well for large/open rooms; haven't tried that)

-oscillates nicely, and the oscillation itself appears to be dead silent (you still hear the fan, obviously, but the oscillating doesn't add any noise compared to when it's not oscillating)

-low/high heat option is a good feature

-works with analog-heater/AC programmable thermostats

-in theory, it never gets hot enough to start a fire (my understanding is that this is a safety feature common to all ceramic-element heaters); briefly touching it during use is encouraging (it feels fairly hot, but not hot enough to start a fire)

Cons:

-mine rattled loudly enough to disturb sleep before I fixed it (and fixing it wasn't easy); might have been a fluke

Notes:

-feels somewhat cheaply constructed (it's about what you would expect from a little, inexpensive space heater)

-relatively small; might not work very well for heating a large and/or open room (not sure)

-the fan is fairly low-power (again, much like a regular oscillating fan on "low"); don't expect it to blow very far

This is the third electric mattress pad we have had and it is by far my favorite. I bought it because of the auto-off feature. My spouse is not so good about remembering to turn it off and now I don't have to check it.

We use the European style of bedding: a comforter with a duvet cover and no top sheet. Making the bed literally takes a few seconds. However, this set-up is impossible with electric blankets, so we use the electric mattress pads. The first one had very noticeable wires. Now we are not "Princess and a Pea" people, but it was not comfortable. It had to be on for at least 15 minutes to feel any heat. Still, we used it for many years. Later I replaced it with a better one. Still, the wires were uncomfortable and it was slow to heat. I put an additional mattress pad on top of the heated one to make it more comfortable, which probably reduced the heat even further, but it cushioned the wires.

This model is really great. I do not feel any wires at all. It heats very quickly. Turn it on PH and it preheats at the top setting for 30 minutes, then goes to what you had it set at.

The only thing I don't like about this is that the plug in is on the top (horizontal)foot of the bed instead of on the (vertical) side. Our feet hit a hard plate. It is not unpleasant, it will just take some time to get used to it. You also have to plug the unit in on an outlet that is on the right side of the bed for the controllers to properly reach your nightstands. It states that in the instructions, but I wanted to plug it in on the left (my husband's) side as my side's outlet was full. The first time I tried the bed I was unhappy with the heat. I had it on PH and didn't feel it. Then my foot happened to kick over to my husband's side and it was toasty warm. A minute spent moving the plug (and controllers) and it worked fine. Amazing what following the instructions can do.

This product works as shown. It has dual adjustable zones (my wife likes to cook, I merely like to steep) and a nice "preheat" mode that works quickly (turn it on before you brush your teeth, and the bed is warm by the time you get there). We haven't turned on the heat at all this winter, and we would have if we didn't have this.

We have previously owned electric blankets and this is *so* much better. Heat rises, make the most of it!

We've had it about a month so far, and no problems. I was worried whether we should pay a lot more for the more expensive line Amazon offered, but so far I am really happy with how this one turned out.

This is a great product. The preheat function means you don't have to turn it on 30 minutes before bedtime. 5 minutes is plenty for it to warm the bed. Would definitely recommend.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Imperial 140-Thread-Count Polyester Cotton Blend Comfort

I purchased this product last week and it failed out of the box. Sunbeam's heated blanket and mattress pad products have many quality issues. I have purchased 3 within the the last 5 years and they typically will not last more than a single winter. I can guarantee they will not last the 5 year guarantee period. When they quit operating, Sunbeam requires that you ship the blanket to a service center somewhere in the south. After several weeks a blanket is returned to you. Ours was not the blanket shipped. At least the returned blanket was clean. Thanks! I purchased this heated mattresss pad because I thought it might be more durable than the blanket.

Sunbeam used to manufacture quality products that worked well and lasted for years. It's hard to believe this product is still marketed as the "#1 Heated Mattress Pad."

I received this mattress pad heater as a present and it was wonderful for a total of 23 days. It now blinks an error message 'F2' and will not heat up. I googled this in hopes of finding a solution and apparently it happens quite often to other buyers and is un-fixable. Very unhappy with this product (SUNBEAM IMPERIAL HEATED MATTRESS PAD).

Really love the looks! Looks high quality even though it is made of MDF primarily. I hate MDF, but they put it in everything these days. Assembly was easy, took me a couple hours working alone. I'm a handy female. It is quite heavy once assembled. Don't sink/over tighten the screw-in bolts that lock the base and top to the wall panels. After I had assembled the unit, I noticed the little diagram flash card that was not in the installation manual.

The glass doors on the cabinets help keep the TV components from getting dusty, and they are spacious (Each cupboard is 17.5"D x 18" W). The height of the unit (26.5") allows the TV to be at eye level. Other measurements are 19.5"D x 68.25"W.

The electric fireplace looks cute. I haven't seen other electric fireplaces, so I have nothing to compare the flames to, but I'm a perfectionist, and I have no complaints. There are 5 levels of brightness, although the brightest level doesn't light up a room so it can't be an only light source. You can have it on all seasons because you can choose to have it burning with or without the space heater function. The space heater heats up my 260sf room nicely. The noise level of the blower is decent and does not interfere with TV viewing. Comes with a small remote control or use the controls on the unit.

It was packed well for shipping, however, it still got damaged. I sent pictures, and the manufacturer quickly replaced it with one that was damaged at the factory (a nail split the wood). They quickly replaced that one, but the next one had the same damage. So I was disappointed with their quality control. They quickly replaced that one, but it got minor damage in shipping. I just accepted it because I got a great price on it in the first place.

This is a pretty good, little, electric heater. It's in an all-metal case. It has a non-detented thermostat. The detented power knob (Off, Fan only, I. (less power), II., III. (more power)) works much like opening a prescription pill bottle. The plastic, hinged handle is nice, too. I tested the tip over feature while moving it on the floor, and it works well! The whole unit shuts off if it's even a little out of plumb.

"Sparky," as I named him, gets pretty hot. The fan blows at what I'll call a slow to medium rate--sufficient to circulate the air and quite quiet. The thermostat works well, too.

Bought this heater at my local hardware store before reading these reviews. Sounds like they either work or they don't. My didn't. I brought it home, took it out to the garage (about 35º F out there today), plugged it in and waited about an hour to see if it would warm up. Despite being on the highest setting and having the thermostat on it cranked, the heater barely put out any heat. It was level and stable, but the only heat I could feel from it was from about two inches away, and that felt like a hair dryer on the lowest setting (and that's being generous).

I returned it. I'm sure some of these heaters really get the job done, but I can't imagine that mine was functioning properly, and it sounds like a common problem. Light came on, fan whirred away (a little) but barely any heat came out. My halogen work light put out more heat at three feet away. Find another heater.

Honest reviews on Honeywell 1,500-Watt All Metal Heater #HZ-2110

I took a chance on this heater because of the January 2010 review that said it had no toxic fumes. But the one I just received (in September 2012) was so smelly, without even being plugged in and heating up, that I quickly repacked it and returned it. (Since the return was not because of damage or any error by Amazon, return shipping costs of $10.99 were deducted from my refund.)

If you could bottle this heater's odors you might label it "Eau de Service Station". The rubbery cord smelled especially strong to me, like new tires. These are smells that I know from experience never air out or burn off.

This is sad, especially if the product has changed that much since 2010. Many people who buy an all-metal heater are trying to avoid inhaling toxic fumes and have serious health reasons for doing so.

I've been getting by with Markel 198TE all-metal portable heaters, which used to have minimum smell, but in recent years the new ones are smellier and break down quickly. In desperation I just keep getting them replaced on warranty through a local store. And searching for something better.

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

I purchased this product after reading several positive, if not quite rave, reviews. I was particularly interested in the ability to regulate the temperature using the thermostat. I was using it to supplement the heat in a large bedroom at my parents home in Chicago during this past, particularly cold, winter.

Set up instructions were adequate. I attached the legs and the casters, re-read the precautions about placement in the room, plugged it in and turned it on. It immediately began heating up. Greatly encouraged, I set the thermostat, stayed in the room for a while and, deciding it was like watching and waiting for a pot of water to boil, I left the room. I waited about 25 minutes and then went back into the room to see how much it had heated the room. I was surprised to find the indicator light on the heater off and no heat being emitted. The room was still very chilly.

I turned the thermostat up thinking that would start the heater again.... nothing.

I turned it to the off position and then on again.... nothing.

I turned the thermostat to it's highest possible temperature setting.... nothing.

I tried turning it on and off at both heat level wattage settings.... nothing.

I unplugged it and replugged it and turned it on again... nothing.

I checked to be sure it had not tripped the circuit breaker.... it had not.

I unplugged it, waited a while longer to see if, after completely cooling down, it would start again... nothing.

Simply put, this product just stopped working within an hour of first plugging it in.

I sent it back to Amazon for a refund, drove over to Home Depot and bought a portable heater that their manager recommended. It worked just fine.

I have had this heater for a month-and-a-half, and I am very pleased with it. I had hoped it would heat the whole area (a basement apartment-in-progress), which it does not. But what it does do is to heat whatever/whoever is in front of it. It feels like sitting in front of a fireplace! Toasty warm, although it does limit how far away from it you can get. Before getting the Optimus H-8408, I had a different type of heater that was also rated for large rooms. IT DID NOTHING, except make a lot of noise (fan-forced type heater). The Optimus is SILENT, and good value for the money.

Bought locally (though I normally love Amazon). I have a 20x20 garage, 400 sq feet. This portable A/C is cooling the garage nicely. Initially, just testing it, I vented it through a hole I made in the concrete block wall. It didn't seem to be cooling very well. Some of the heat from the vent hose was not making it out the new hole, but escaping into my garage. I didin't want to put much effort into the hole until I felt like this A/C would be worth my time. I fretted, and considered it. Then I decided to go ahead and make a proper whole, sealed, with the dryer-vent-flap on the outside of the garage now no hot air is escaping from the vent into the garage all the hot air is going outside professional looking job I think. Whalla. I like this A/C. You have to wrap insulation around the vent hose since it gets hot and will just radiate that heat into your room. We have an insullated ceiling and an insulated garage door. Hot southern USA. We use our garage sometimes for crafting and similar activities... this A/C will do nicely. Yes, I've only had it for 24 hours, but... happy

I purchased this unit through Amazon several months ago, and am glad I did. No more suffering through the intense summer heat in a one bedroom, non air conditioned apartment.

The unit itself is relatively easy to set up. As my unit was shipped via Fed-ex, I had to initially let it sit upright, non-operating, for a day in order for the refrigerant fluid to settle and prevent damage. Other than that, you simply plug in the unit, connect the collapsible vent hose from the unit to the window (via window adapter), and turn it on. It takes less than 5 minutes to cool my living room to my preferred comfort temperature (about 75 degrees inside while high 80's/90's outside).

In over 2 months of use, I opened the drain plug only once, and there were only a few small drips of liquid that came out. The evaporate cooling technology worked great for me, and those who have had issues with leaks in the Pinguino models must have had defective units.

Regardless of what unit you buy, don't settle for anything less than 12,000 BTU's for a portable AC. 14,000 BTU's would be better for larger rooms and houses.

I do have a few issues with this unit. One, as Pflorky mentions, is that the vent only blows air upwards at an angle. It would have been nice to be able to change the direction of air flow. The second is that the unit can be a bit noisy, necessitating raising the volume of the television by several points. I don't think it's so loud that it will make you deaf, but it can be noticeable. This is a minor quibble, as I would rather be cool and comfortable than suffering and miserable from the heat.

Last, depending on the style and size of your window you choose to vent from, you may need to 'jury rig' something to properly vent the unit. I have a sliding style window in the living room (side to side), and the opening is nearly 5 feet from top to bottom. The window adapter that came with the unit was too short to completely fill in the gap, so I used some boarding and tape to seal off any openings.

Overall I am very happy that I purchased this unit.

My experience with this unit it that it is a bit noisy but cools and dehumidifies VERY well. It was a good purchase and helps supplement my inadequate central AC during the crazy Chicago heat waves. HOWEVER.... I have had to get creative and sit it in a pan intended to go under a water heater or shwer... as it leaks much of the water/ vapor that is formed when it works hard. Typically the 4x4 foot pan ends up with about 3/8 of an inch of water in it. If I could get help knowing what size fitting is required to attach a hose I'd just put it in the window... but this was an emergency measure as my hardwood floor was under attack...

Overall I'd give this an Aas it cools better than my more expensive SHARP... but the SHARP has features this one doesn't have and is not "having accidents".

Honest reviews on DeLonghi PACN120E Portable Air Conditioner

The unit works well.

It's easy to install.

It would be better, however, if the airflow could be adjusted up and down. Otherwise the air flows in one direction, and change can only be effected by moving the machine.

We purchased this air conditioner for my Mom. She lives in a small apartment and it is the perfect size and very easy to install. The exhaust portion of the air conditioner worked out wonderfully for the type of window she has and the efficiency of the unit is great. During the summer it keeps the room at a wonderful temperature.

This timer works just fine. It is replacing the same model that recently failed... after 10 YEARS!! We use this timer between 4-6 hours every night in the spring and summer months for our whole house fan.

My only gripe and reason for not giving it 5 stars is that I was shipped a silver face timer rather than the ivory timer as pictured. Fortunately I have the old ivory face so no real harm.

What a co-incidence that you sent this request for a review. I received the email on Sunday, Aug. 28th, 2011; and the timer had failed the night before. We use it to control an attic fan that is timed to shut off at approximately 3:00AM. The fan ran all night long, and the timer dial was still in the same place it was originally set.

Ain't China great?

Had to replace 22 year old timer. This one's specs were similar and choose it for that reason. It came quickly and works just fine

Customer Ratings: 3 stars

I bought this stove 2 years ago when they were priced at $1050.00. For the money it is a great little stove for the money they are asking now there are a lot more stoves' out there with better features, like: Ash Draw and agitator. If this stove had that I would buy another one. But now you have to shut down the stove everyday to clean it and the 40lb. hopper only uses about 30lbs and then shut downs. If there were an agitator to burn all of the pellets you could get the 14 hours burning time instead you get about 8 10 hours. If they dropped their price back to $1050, I would buy this stove. It has not broken down and heats my whole 1600 sq ft house during our New England winters.

We bought the England's Stove Works 25-PDV pellet stove. If the stove worked properly, it would be a fantastic piece of machinery. Unfortunately, from the beginning, the stove has not worked smoothly. Have had blower issues, auger issues, constant noise, error messages, and consistent shutdowns. To those who claim that product and customer service fabulous, I say, "Wow!" Are you sure?? We've had nothing but heartache right from the beginning. The stove is cleaned and maintained daily to the utmost degree. You'd think the machinery was a Lamborghini instead of a pellet stove. Horrible, horrible, despicable product. So unreliable & problematic. Would never go near this company for endless reasons again. Should have done more homework. The company does not provide technical services (everything is your own out-of-pocket expense even if the parts are under warranty), 24 hour customer service is not available, and no weekend customer service at all. To think that Home Depot, Lowes, and Ace Hardware all carry this product... ONLY in America. Interested in reading more about England's Stove Works?

We purchased this in November 08 and have used it since. We live in Minnesota in a old 2 story house and it heats our home very well. The only complaints I have is that we need to shut it down and clean it every day and a couple of times it has shut down on its own. I will tell you that it is really a multifuel as this winter we have burned oats in it as our corn did not dry down enough to be picked this fall. When it is real cold -15 or lower we add some wood pellets to our oats for extra heat. We never have to have the stove over 5 no matter how cold. The truth is last winter when we burned corn we had trouble with it being to warm so we would add wood pellets for less heaat. So I would recommend this stove highly. We did have one opportunity and I do mean opportunity to work with Customer Service and it was wonderful. They did not talk down to me even though I am a woman. Other companies need to learn what real customer service is from this company. I called them because I the stove was making more noise then when we first started using it, about 1 month later and no questions they sent out a new motor and did not even want the other returned. I can not tell you how good they are to work with. As I read in anohter person comment they also called us to make sure we had recieved the part and to see if every thing was ok a week after I called them. Our son bought a American Harvest Stove and has had a lot of trouble with it and US Stoves (manufacturer) customer service is terrible. It took 6 times of waiting online, at least 30 minutes each time, for him to talk to anyone and all he got was the run around. He had his a year before we bought ours that is why we did not go with that brand. Like I said the big negative is that we have to clean it once a day. GREAT Company.

Honest reviews on England's Stove Works Wood Pellet Stove

After looking at pellets stoves in my local area and reading reviews on them, I decided to buy a England's Stove from Homedepot.com. I saw other stoves that looked nicer, with fake bricks and bigger windows, but for the price and excellent reviews I choice this stove. They said that customer service was great and let me tell you they are. I called several times for stupid reasons and the staff was so nice and helpful(and spoke English which was great for me). The stove also comes with a instructional video, which was wonderful when my husband had to change the gaskets and do the yearly maintenance. I love my stove and the heat it gives me during the winter months, I live on a cement slab and it really helps. Thank you England Stove.

I got my stove in August 2008, I had issues with a couple wires that ran too close from a metal flange where due to heat It melted the wires causing a short.

Customer service was excellent, they replaced all damaged parts under warranty no questions asked!

Customer service called at my home and mobile phone to make sure all was OK, you just dont get this type of service anymore!

Emails were also exchanged and detail explanation send, It just dont get any better than that.

Very happy with the heat output, Its plenty of heat for a 1800 sq ft colonial type home.

Thanks for a great value and service!!

I will be getting a second unit for my bsmt next year!
