I purchased these heaters in October 2012 after one of my cats knocked over the Lasko heater and scorched the rug which could have caused a house fire! Luckily I woke up in time!

This heater makes very little noise (at least not enough to bother me, anyway) and it has a tip-over safety switch which makes it far safer for homes with pets, little kids, or clumsy big-footed adults. The one thing I would like to see added would be some sort of detachable filter that one could wash as we live in a very dusty area, but since it does not have this I find blowing them out with the leaf-blower (Outside, of course!) once a week does the trick. (You would be amazed at the amount of dog and cat hair that gets inside space heaters, even if you do vacuum and clean regularly, not to mention the dust!)

I find that they heat well. Unless it is way below freezing, I only have to use one heater for our large main living area, one in each bedroom, and that's it. Even with the cost of electricity it is much cheaper than running the propane furnace. One thing you have to make sure of is that the heater is on a flat surface; in other words if you put it on a sculpted carpet it may not turn on because of the safety switch. Just adjust it a bit and it will work fine.

They aren't very pretty, but I prefer safety and practicality to looks. When he first saw one of these heaters my husband said, "Hey, where did you get the bowling ball?" and tried to kick it. So they do look like a bowling ball from above but at least you can see them. The handle is built in so they are really easy to move out of your way when cleaning and everything but the front metal grate stays cool to the touch when the units are operating, which prevents above mentioned pets and rugrats from accidentally scorching something just brushing against it.

I find it difficult to read the settings from above but these heaters weigh next to nothing so it is no problem to pick them up to adjust the temperature or turn them off.

Overall, I would definitely recommend them to my friends (and have done so)and to anyone with pets, kids, elderly folks or the terminally clumsy.

Best Keurig Cafe One-Touch Milk Frother Deals

Keurig Cafe One-Touch Milk Frother
Customer Ratings: 3 stars
Buy Now
I am the world's biggest Keurig milk frother fan, so why am I giving it only 3 stars? Because this expensive and addicting accessory only works reliably for about three months. It froths milk for those first few months like nobody's business, perfectly heating your milk with a snowy mountain of froth on the top and then it stops working. I know this through extensive personal experience, because I have (hangs head in shame) actually paid for three of these puppies that's how obsessed I am with them. I returned the first one after a surprisingly contentious phone conversation with a Keurig representative who all but accused me of breaking the item. "You can only use skim milk with it", she admonished me, even though the advertising blurbs for the item say nothing about that. I have dutifully complied with the rules for frothers #2 and #3, but yesterday, when the third one gave up the ghost, predictably, at the 3-month-mark, I decided that my dysfunctional relationship with the Keurig frother has to end. Time to start buying half-and-half again.

The first unit was purchased last Saturday, and Saturday afternoon, I made delicous and abundant froth for my coffee. The next morning, my husband made it, and it only half frothed. Monday, the unit did not work at all; replaced it. Monday afternoon, new unit must not have heated long enough. No work. Replaced it, thinking third time's a charm--Fool that I was. These units are definitely lemons--not charming. The third one shut off this afternoon after around 35 seconds. I think that is the problem, they are shutting off prematurely. What are the chances that my local Bed, Bath & Beyond got stuck with a shipment of lemons with electrical cords and cheap, plastic frothers?

Best Deals for Keurig Cafe One-Touch Milk Frother

Found this item cheaper at a local "Bed, Bath and Beyond" store ($79).

This product works as advertised. It has three parts:

1. The base (which plugs into the wall and provides the electricity)

2. The decanter which contains the electrics that heats the milk. There is a socket under the decanter the plugs into and sits loosely the base.

3. The removeable lid that has a stirrer attached to it.

3. The stirrer, which is a tiny wire whisk that you can remove when you only want to heat the milk.

Its very easy to operate... You put the correct amount of milk into the decanter(There are two fill lines, one for froth, and one for hot milk), place the decanter onto the base and press a button. The wire whisk spins around as the unit heats the milk and you get a nice single serving of froth. Remove the whisk and you can simply heat up the milk. The unit shuts itself off automatically when it is finished properly frothing or heating your milk. There's no guesswork at all.

Not only does this product prevent you from cooling off your coffee with cold milk, it makes your coffee look and taste better too. Funny how simply placing a layer of froth on the top of your coffee makes it look ten times more appealing. We tried it using Mocha, Donut Shop, and Butter Toffee flavors. It worked great in each one of those.

After you're done, it's very easy to clean up. Just rinse the decanter out with water (and dish-soap if you want) and rinse off the whisk and stirrer.

Is it worth $80? We think so because, like the Keurig, there's no guess work. Just pour in the milk and press a button.

Its great for getting creative with your coffee! For instance, we created a layered mocha: Pour the froth on the bottom of the cup, add Chocolate Syrup and then the coffee on top of that.

I was a little concerned about buying a dozen filters at over $100 without trying one first. I've been very pleasantly surprised. They are every bit as good as, if not better than, the Filtrete "Micro Allergen" filters that I normally use (which cost about 50% more.) These filters are structural sound, in fact, I think they are more sturdy than the Filtrete filters. That is the characteristic that I was most nervous about as I've previously had discount filters (from other manufactures) buckle and collapse inside my ducts. The filtering media itself also appears to be high quality. I've had them installed for several weeks now and everything appears to be working well. I will definitely buy Nordic Pure filters again.

I have the same issue as CB's Oct 11, 2012 review. Whether this is a "new, improved" (cheaper) product from Aerus, a manufacturing defect, or an imitation knock-off, I don't know. But the touted TiO2 treatment is clearly compromised. The "spattering of white stuff" cannot be equivalent to the original, uniform coating. (Yes, the product pictured is the original.) Next time I will pay the extra and get authentic replacement filter from the dealer.

I should've returned the filter! It is not at all what my other filters have been in past. There was a white substance splattered all over the carbon side of filter. I decided to use it anyway, but really should've sent it back. The picture shows the filter as it should be, but mine was solid black, with some sort of white substance splattered on one side.

I noticed my other oil burner didn't heat up the water well with fans going in the room. The tea candle was open to the breeze flowing in the room.I bought this one since it can shield the candle from the breeze. It works for that.

I was amazed how few aromatherapy oil disperser models that are out there, and then to find one that is stylish and not looking too flowery or gothic. Hey, all you need is one and I found it! Super pricing, stylish and there the 'we'll' at the top is about 2 inches deep and held enough water and oil for a tealight candle. I love the fact I can disperse beautiful and relaxing oil in my home. Time to relax!

This thing is so simple. I have the black one and it's got a generous room for the candle and the oils on top. The only flaw is, it gets really hot so if you want to move it, you'll need a towel to pick it up. I also like the fact that the candle has it's own place and it's not just an open flame with an oil bowl just hanging on it. It's all one nice piece.

Honest reviews on Candle Warmers Etc. Jamie Clair Tea Light Oil Warmer

I used to put my essential oil on top of my space heater, but I thought getting one of these would be a little more elegant. I love it, but it is so much stronger, you only need one drop of oil (diluted in water). I had no problem with several drops on my heater, but the same amount in this makes the aroma overpowering. Use sparingly and you will quite enjoy this little warmer.

I am addicted to fragrance oils and more comfortable to leave these burning as I'm going from room to room (or before bed) compared to candles. I was using a more squat and wide warmer but this seems to do better on the oils lasting. The oil part at the top is quite deep and no worries about spills. I am using three of them in my own home and I also think it would make a nice gift.

Updated 3/19/11

Received a brand new hearter today! No cost for shipping either to or from the company. Based on the excellent customer service I am increasing the rating up to 4 stars. As I originally reported, the heater works very well at heating my garage.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Updated 3/5/11

Contacted Mr. Heater and they had me box up the heater and they had FedEx pick it up at their expense. They say they will send a replacement once they have looked at the returned item.

Updated 2/26/11

I had been very pleased with this heater UNTIL today. I have used the heater several times during the past 2 months. Today I warmed up the garage and worked during the morning then shut down the heater and ran some errands. I started the heater this afternoon and after about about 10 minutes I looked over at the heater and there were FLAMES coming out from all sides and the main burner valve knob was on fire. I ran to the propane tank and got everything shut down Thank goodness I was watching, the rubber propane hose could have easily melted and I would have had a wreck. It appears there was a malfunction on the burner valve that allowed gas to escape and ignite. Now 1 month past Amazon Return time I have to deal with manufacturer warranty. So now I have to mail it in, at my expense, and wait to see if they will stand behind the product. In the mean time I have no heat in the garage.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

I have only had this heater two days. That said, I took it home yesterday attached the propane (that was essentially all there was to set-up) and fired it up on low and it put out a pleasant heat.

This morning the temperature was about 6 below zero and I turned the heater on and set it on high. I let it run for about 15 minutes and the garage had warmed up significantly, it was at least 40-50 degrees and possibly warmer. I didn't check the thermometer (digital one in my car) until after I left the garage. But as I was driving my car away from the garage I noticed the temperature was rapidly counting down at that point it was already down to 20 degrees and continued down to the outside temperature of 6 below.

My garage is detached 30' X 30' with 14' high ceiling, so it was heating over 12,000 cubic feet.

This is a replacement space heater. The previous one was a Mr. Heater Portable Propane Forced Air Heater (jet heater). I was a bit worried with the fact that the new one was convection but that concern was unfounded. It actually heats the area much faster. The convection heater does not seem to put off nearly as much smell as the forced air heater, in fact it was essentially odorless. Although with this first test I did not use a fan to circulate the warm air, I am sure that will improve it's already impressive performance. Unlike the forced air heater, this one does not require an electrical connection to operate so all you have to do is supply the gas and turn it on. One possible drawback would be that I was able to use the forced air heater to thaw frozen pipes since you can direct the heat, and the convection heater won't work for that.

It does make noise as it burns the propane. If you have a weed burner, or a branding stove, that is what it sounds like. The volume increases at higher settings. It was a little quieter than the forced air heater though.

THIS HEATER IS GOOD BUY FOR YOUR SMALL SHOP SPACE IT REALLY DOES A GREAT JOB

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater MH200CV 200,000-BTU Propane Convection Heater

Ordered through smazon Mr. Heater MH200CV December 13, 2011. Unit was shipped and received timely. Did not have need to install unit until February as the weather here in North Georgia is quite mild this year. I hooked the unit to a 100 lb. propane tank and tried to light the pilot after observing all fittings were tight and the heat control knob was properly positioned. Upon depressing the pilon/safety button, I heard a loud hissing sound indicating that propane was flowing through the lines unobstructed. Immediately I depressed the igniter button several times attempting to light the pilot light...no luck. I discontinued the effort to light the pilot. I tried this several more times to no avail. Finally, I remedied the excessive propane through-put by barely depressing the pilot button...presto, the pilot light with a monstrous flame. In addition the burner was ablaze also without the the burner knob still in the pilot position (fully clockwise). Upon releasing the pilot button the flames were completely out of control. The thing acted as if the burner valve was fully open although it was completely closed. The heater would do this wild activity for a few minutes then it would flame out at which time I would make hasty tracks to shut the gas supply off.

NOTE: The gas flow is so great that the pilot cannot be lit if the button is fully depressed. I could light it only when the valve was partially opened.

770 463-9493

This thing is dangerous. I will be in contact with the manufacturer on Monday next. I'm hoping for the best as some other customers with similar problems have had difficulty getting their problems fixed through the manufacturer.

I checked all settings several times and tried to get the unit to operate normally--no luck.

It served its purpose. But for some reason or another, it stopped working. We were building a house and we needed a heater that could give sufficient heat in an under construction building. It did that, but it didn't hold up well. The construction heater got a leak in the on / off valve.

These are absolutely wonderful. I have an old one that I've been using for years, and I just bought the newest model as a Christmas gift for a close friend. She loves it, it has all the best features, including safety with a lock for the hot water, and choice of either button dispensing or pump-pot action; easy to use, convenient as you always have hot water for tea, etc., and I'm waiting for my old one to finally die so I can justify having a new one for myself. As far as I'm concerned, this is the best little appliance in the kitchen.

There are some very good features in this air pot

1)It is smaller than older versions made by other companies with the same capacity

2) It has an electric pump to dispense the hot water

3) It is more attractive than the older designs

4) The price seems lower than the old versions

Some things that could use improvement:

1) The manual pump is like the old manual pumps and will probably eventually develop a leaky gasket

2) The manual pump would be better replaced with a lever action pump that does not depend on a gasket seal.

Having grown up in a household with a hot water tap, I'm used to having near-boiling water available at all times except on Shabbat, when, a rabbi told my mother, the tap could not be used (years later, a different rabbi, who had a different understanding of how the technology worked, told me it is permissible!). So once I was on my own, some sort of urn or electric pump pot was a must. I bought this one to replace an old one that died, and am pleasantly surprised by the new features, including the instant dispense button and switch (although they can't be used on Shabbat either, as they make a light go on, but you can still pump out water by pressing the original spot), and the concave front, which allows your cup or teapot to nestle up close. The price is right, the unit works, and my only concern is that I'll run out of water before Shabbat is over! In fact, I just bought another one as a Mother's Day gift and presented it today (now it can be told!).

I had been looking for a good raclette grill for sometime, after using several different styles at friends and families homes, I saw this one on Amazon. It arrived intact with all the necessary parts and is very easy to use. The grill top reverses to a crape grill which is also fun.

I recommend this particular grill above others I have used for several reasons. First, it can accomodate 8 people, while many grills max out at 6. Second, it has an adjustable temperature. We generally start out at a higher temperature then when everyone has slowed down and wants to eat slowly and talk I adjust the temperature down. Third, the grill is easy to clean. Its non-stick surface easily wipes off. I would advise to only use the included scrapers on the non-stick surface, if it gets scratched it will not be as easy to use. And fourth, it is very sturdy. This is a solidly built grill and looks great on the table. It is a little more money than some other models, but if you want to use it for years I would definately invest in the better grill.

I have a love for swiss food ever since I came back from Australia and missed my favorite Swiss Restaurant called Kellers. I heard about these Raclette grills from an officemate who used to live in Switzerland. Let me tell you it might seem like a complex item but it truly isn't. It is good for so many uses because it is a grill and broiler in one. On Saturday I go to the store and buy different fresh veggies, french bread, and meats. I marinate the meats and put them in the freezer and fridge. I usually do this in no more than an hour. Then every night after work my husband and I and any guests that might be visiting pull all of these out of the fridge and freezer and grill up whatever we want. Everyone can have the same thing or they can fix their own dishes using all the items you have out. Your options are limitless. We have made kabobs, sandwhiches, stir fry's, potatoes, omlettes, garlic bread, pizza, pretty much everything. Clean up is very simple you just clean the top grill plate and any raclette dishes you used. We keep the grill out on our table for every meal and saves me from standing on my feet all afternoon over a hot stove. Which can be very hard when you have come home late from working a long day! I also have a picky husband and this is a great way for us each to have whatever we want cooked the exact way we want it cooked.

I know and love raclette dinners from my home country Germany, so I was happy to find some that will work in the US. I tried to find out what the dimensions of the raclettes offered are, but without success. There was no answer to get anywhere. The dimensions listed on this page are obviously bogus, Amazon can not be contacted and Swissmar doesn't answer to emails. So finally I decided to just order one and was really disappointed: this raclette is much smaller than the raclettes I'm used to from home. The size of the grill plate is just 24 cm x 36 cm. The dishes are just 8.5 x 8.5 cm. The dishes are all lined up to the two sites, you can't turn the handles of the ones at the end to the front sides. If you sit around a rectangular table, the guests at the front ends of the table will have trouble to reach theirs. This raclette might work for 4 persons but is not suitable for 8 as normal European raclettes are.

Honest reviews on Swissmar KF-77041 Gourmet 8-Person Raclette Grill, Black

We are having a lot of fun with this grill.

This grill is great fun for dinner parties. I have now thrown 4 dinner parties using it from basic grilling to fajitas. I plan to try the round side of the grill next for dessert crepes. Traditional raclette is cheese melted in the drawers, with pickles and cold meats. I also use it as a party activity for more healthy fare by offering a variety of marinated vegetables portobello mushrooms marinated in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, basil, garlic and red pepper is my favorite. I've grilled shrimp, asparagus, onions, chicken, tofu, bell peppers, sausages, sliced potatoes (I boil them a bit first.) Then I put out sauces for people to dip into as well.

I find it helps break the ice with guests who don't know one another so well, as they can talk about the grilling, etc.

My one complaint is that it would be hard for eight people to use, the most I have used it for now is six, but it worked really well for six. The adjustable heating works really nicely.

If you're looking for something new and fun, I highly recommend it. It is great for dinner parties and book club meetings (everyone can bring something to grill.)

I bought this Raclette grill for my wife thinking that it would just be another kitchen gadget that we never used. Wow, what a great way to have an intimate dinner. It's perfect to enjoy a relaxing meal with 2-4 adults. I guess you could entertain a larger group if you don't mind getting your fixins close to each other! If you're use to eating a fast meal in front of the TV then you should try raclette. It really makes you slow down and enjoy the meal.

We bought some very inexpensive miniature wooden tongs from a Chinese supply store that work very well for taking your food on and off the grill surface. I had to subtract a star just because calling it an 8 person grill is a bit of a stretch.

This has got to be the most expensive piece of crap Ive ever paid for. Normally I would flush it down the toilet, but this wouldnt fit. Theyve had to ship out a new base, the original was cracked. One of the middle pieces fell apart as i was screwing it together, must be that high quality china glue. When i recieved the new base, i started putting it together and one of the cheap plastic threaded inserts was missing. So now i still cant put this thing together.

I bought this item but with the gel fireplace insert. The entertainment center is still the same model number but this product has the electric fireplace insert.

POORLY CONSTRUCTED AND PACKAGED!

When I received my items:

*the top panel trim on the left side was coming off, there was a dent in the middle, and the trim on the right side was barely hanging on

*the base panel was cracked in the front

*the upper firebox trim was broken (piece that supports the top panel beneath the television and above the firebox insert)

*the 2 back panels had either a large vertical scratch or had a hole

*multiple discolorations (white where it should be black) and scratches throughout every piece

*Assembly guide included with the fireplace insert but not for the entertainment center (I had to Google search for it and found it on the Home Depot website.)

I beg you. Please do not buy this item! It is NOT worth the money and you might as well invest in an already assembled/mostly assembled fireplace/entertainment center locally. I called Cymax to get a WHOLE product replacement and they wanted pictures of the damages, which I sent. Although Cymax claimed it was a whole product replacement, Real Flame DID NOT send out a whole product replacement but only sent the replacement parts after reviewing my claim. Unfortunately, some of the replacement parts did not screw properly with the original parts that I had already. Also, the left side of the top panel was beginning to come off just like the original top panel that was being replaced. Since I tried to assemble the fireplace, it is not in it's original condition. Hence I did not even bother with returning it, getting up to 50% of the price paid, and deducting even more for shipping the item back to Cymax. Needless to say, I threw everything away out of sheer frustration and bought an electric fireplace/entertainment center from Havertys.

A complete disaster, waste of money, and time!!!

Honest reviews on Real Flame Fresno Electric Fireplace in Dark Walnut

Arrived in 2 days with Prime. Assembly was extremely easy and only took 30-45 minutes. Fireplace looks great and the Walnut finish looks fantastic. The space behind the fireplace unit offers a lot of room for surge protectors and cords so the unit can sit flush against the wall. Highly recommended.

This is actually a beautiful entertainment center. i love it and everyone that has seen it so far has said how much they love it.There is a strong odor when you remove it from the box but it goes away quickly. I gave it 3 stars due to the cons but overall its a nice piece.

Pros: Beautiful. nice color, Sturdy, movable shelves, good overall width and height. The fireplace is really nice with the ability to give off heat or not and the dynamic flame. There is a large area of open space behind the fireplace unit.

Cons: Very little room between shelves and the back covering board. So for larger plugs it is a problem. The width of the individual shelves is an issue. My receiver did not fit (i looked up a bunch of other receivers dimensions and they would have the same problem). I had to take the back board off and push it in from the back. I left plenty of space above for overheating issues. There were some defects in the wood but you can only seen them when your right next to it. Many of the bolts that are locked in did not match up perfectly. The front right portion also did not match up with the molding from the sides to the center portion. The fireplace portion has chainmail type covering over the glass. This does not sit perfectly vertical but you only really notice when your close. The fireplace unit (which is separate)does not fit perfectly against the rear of the hearth portion (center) but it does screw in so it is secure.

I picked up two of these last winter for my kids rooms. We live in very northern Minnesota, where sub-zero winter temperatures are very common. When it gets that cold outside, keeping rooms in the house that are on the outer edges warm can be tricky, without overheating the center of the house. So for years we've used oil heaters, which require little to no babysitting. We have two very large electric fireplaces in our home already, and my kids have always wanted little ones for their rooms for cold days. They especially wanted them for when they get home from school and would like to warm their bedrooms up quickly. They've only just now gotten old enough (pre-teens) where I feel confident they could easily manage one of these small heaters themselves without me worrying.

So last Christmas they each got one for their bedrooms as a gift. They are very small, so they don't take up much room. No more than a tiny nightstand would. The blower in the heater is at the bottom, so the top and the front stays completely cool. So there's no worrying that anyone might burn themselves on it. The door on the fireplace does open up, which gives you access to buttons that control the temperature and brightness of the fires light. There is also a small remote control that comes with it so you can adjust the settings or turn it on/off remotely. These heaters did a wonderful job of warming up chilly bedrooms all last winter.

* * * A special note * * *

Two things I wanted to mention, so if anyone else runs into the same things they know about them ahead of time. The first, one of the two heaters I ordered arrived without the light inside working. At first I was stumped as to what to do, then I realized it was just a replaceable light bulb inside, and all I had to do was open up the back (or underside, I can't remember which) and check it. Turns out in shipping the bulb had just came a little loose. A little twist and it was tightened and working perfectly again.

The second thing I wanted to mention is when you first get these and turn the heater on, there is a smell that seems to need to burn off the first time you use it. I'm not sure if it's a cleaner or what, but the smell will actually set off any nearby smoke detectors, even though there's no smoke. So it's best to run them for a little while first, before you need them at a later time, so you can open a window or something to get the smell out. However once the smell has burned off, it never comes back.

My daughter just moved from South Florida to the panhandle, where the nights are quite chilly. I bought this for her as an early Christmas gift. She loves it. The seller is reliable, and the heater was delivered to her door within four days. No assembly is required, and it is ready to use right out of the box. It arrived with no damage, and was well packaged. The unit is quiet and heats her small home very well. She also loves watching just the flames without using the heater...it adds a lovely warm glow to any room. While this seller has the heater priced a little higher than other vendors, the shipping is free, so it's an excellent buy. I will be her visiting at Christmas, and look forward to seeing this beautiful little electric stove in person. I may have to buy one for myself! Buy this, you won't be sorry.

We bought this stove to replace another brand that died after two years and cost twice as much. We love it. We use it in our bedroom which is always very cold. The room is a medium size and it does the job perfectly. I'm sure it could heat a larger room. The other stove we had didn't have a remote so I didn't think it was important but now that I have one I love the convenience. The stove arrived in a timely manner, in good condition and the seller communicated with me regarding the arrival date. Bottom line the stove does an excellent job heating a room and looks good while doing it. I surely recommend it to anyone who needs a little extra heat and doesn't want a clunky little space heater.

Admittedly, the flame effect is not the most realistic thing in the world. In fact, it's a little cheesy. For best effect, turn it all the way down to the lowest brightness. I might even swap out the bulb for a lower wattage. However, the ambiance is still really nice, even though it is clearly not a real fire, and I like the option of having the flame effect on while the heat is off. This unit is in the bedroom. It heats the area nicely and fairly quietly, and with my glasses off in bed, watching the fake fire is very soothing. A click of the remote to turn it off as I am ready to fall asleepreally a nice feature. Ready to use, straight out of the box. The first time it's on, it does give off a bit of a "hot pan with oil" smell, but that fades quickly. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase and recommend the unit.

I bought this fireplace for my mom for Christmas. It is a perfect size in their 2-bedroom apartment. It seems, though, that her Chihuahuas are getting more use out of it than she is. LOL. They BEG for her to turn on the heat! They lie on a pillow next to the fireplace until they are thoroughly roasted and near comatose! Mom loves it too, when it's cold outside. It keeps the main living area very warm. Now that it's warmer outside, she is having to wean the dogs off of their beloved heat. I would definitely buy this again, and especially for a person with spoiled pets. For the price, it is not too cheap looking. The "flame" is fairly realistic for the price as well.

Working great. Love the digital temp reading. Easy to adjust.

Only drawback, it flashes the digital readout, rather than steady.

After two days, the temperature of the waterbed had gone up 4 degrees, in the middle of summer. Went to a place down the street and bought a different brand and it was up to temperature in 24 hours. Waste of money.

After talking to InnoMax the new heaters don't heat like the old ones like I used to have. They just maintain temp. They recommend getting a second heater if you have a lot of fiber pads in the bed as I do. Should work ok for summer then we will see.

They were not aware of any heaters that heat any better. Hey I am saving energy!

Honest reviews on InnoMax Thermal Guardian Touch Temp Solid State Waterbed Heater

We actually had to turn the heating element down; it warmed so efficiently. You might need two on a larger waterbed, but we have an oversize single and it is more than adequate.

seems to be living up to it's responsibilities.

I have it heating a floatation tank to 92 degrees. With the evaporation, it is probably running a lot more than a water bed so... I'd say it is doing well.
