LG LP1200dxr 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Review

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I've owned this unit for 2 years and it runs 24/7 from around May through September. Other than cleaning the air filter there is no maintenance, and the unit will turn just about any room into an ice box. I originally purchased the unit for an upstairs room with western exposure that would just be unbearably hot during the summer. This unit turned it into the coolest and most pleasant room in the house.

It is a large and heavy unit, and a bit noisy if you plan to sleep in the room with it. But we did get used to the noise, and it was certainly a fair trade off for the comfort it provided. I would not hesitate for a second to purchase this unit again, and when summer rolls around I am so thankful that we have it. Very well built and efficient cooler.

I have had this unit for 3 years and it has performed very well.Even though the portable ones aren't supposed to be as good, we got this as it was well rated at the time. It has vents that go up and down to move the cold air around. It is powerful and gets the room very cold. I am sure it would cool an area 3 times the room I have it in easily. You can program it to a specific temperature. You can set it on dehumidify. It shuts down if the water chamber needs to be emptied and that can happen several times on very humid days but I just put a shallow pan under it and pull the plug to drain it. It has a good solid vent hose and a washable filter that is easy to get to. I have a slider window so I can't mount a permanent AC unit and also it is not my house so this is a great solution. It is a way to change the area you want to cool also. It is heavy and large but is on wheels and it's not whisper quiet but it is basic white noise and easy to sleep through. When not in use in the winter empty and clean and cover it to keep out dust. Store in a warm dry place or mold can grow in air conditioners when they aren't in use. If needs cleaning consult a pro to avoid damaging condenser.

I love this product. It has 4 modes (Cool, Fan, Dry and Energy Saver) and all of them work perfectly! I'm using it in my bedroom which is big and it lowers the temperature to 60F in any of its modes. I got it one month ago and so far, I haven't had any real problem with it. The only thing is that the water container gets full every 20 minutes approximately, when the humidity is around 78% so I would like this container a little bit bigger.

Honest reviews on LG LP1200dxr 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

Best unit ever! I bought this for my bedroom and to give my dog some relief while I am at work. I am a total internet junkie and feel like I am really good at researching online, I was nervous because this was the first AC unit I have ever purchased and most reviews of portable AC units most were not that encouraging. Works so good I am considering moving this unit to my livingroom and getting a smaller unit for my bedroom with less BTU's, I will stick to LG units since I've had good results with this one.

Pros:

1. Super cold! My room is between 200-300 sq ft I leave my door open to the hall/ living room and my bedroom room is like an ice box within minutes, temp set at 64. Sometimes I rig a regular oscillating fan in front of my bedroom door and it will drag the cool air to the living room.

2.There is an "energy saving" option. The temperature will regulate itself, great to be able to leave it on when I am at work and come back to a cooled down room.

3.I have not had to worry about emptying out the water tray at all and I ran the unit continuously last summer.

4.The self cleaner mode is awesome.

Cons:

1.Electric cord is too short. I do not have many outlet options in my apartment and since the cord is so short it's pretty much stationed to one outlet that barely reached a window for the exhaust.

FYI: I have the old school crank windows that open left to right that force me to leave the window open all the time for the exhaust to exit. I had a piece of thick plexi glass cut to the size of my window with a 6x6 inch square cut out of one corner so the exhaust can escape. I replaced my screen with the plexi glass to comp for the window remaining open. I have security bars on my windows to I wasn't worried about safety. Just in case anyone else has this issue.

I got this portable air conditioner to cool the second floor of my one and a half story bungalow. I only have to run it for 2 or 3 hours in the evening to get the second floor bedroom nice and cool for sleeping. It is a little loud, but it is basically white noise and very easy for me to tune out. It is necessary to drain the water once every few days into a shallow pan (it's the only thing that will fit under the lower drain), but you don't need a way to let it drain while it is running. When the water tank gets full, it shuts itself off, so no mess to clean up. It is also very easy to fit the exhaust vent into the window when I want air conditioning and take it out when I want fresh air. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. It does exactly what I wanted it to.

I like this heater. The only problem I have with it is the cord isn't heavy enough. The cord gets very hot and has melted 2 plugs. I think it should be recalled as a fire hazard.

Pros:

-Very quiet. Most noise you will hear is a low hum.

-3 different modes. Low, High, and Fan. Nice to have the fan choice on warmer days.

-Heats very quickly. Heats a moderate sized room in about 20 minutes, and the automatic thermostat is a very nice addition for at night when sleeping.

Cons:

-Only thing I can think of is that I wish the fan was a little more powerful. I wouldn't recommend to use the fan feature as a fan replacement entirely.

Overall, it does it's job perfectly. Great for if you have a room in your house with a bad draft. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable space heater.

Bought this for my desk area at work after my last space heater quit on me. Wow, what a difference! I have to run this on low and it still raises the temp in the whole room two degrees. My co-workers love me!

Honest reviews on Lasko 675919 Stanley Pro-Ceramic Utility Heater, 12-Inch

Using in two car garage. Maintains Avery comfortable temp even when outside is teens twenties. Not much noise and moves a good amount of air. I would definitely recommend this heater and get another for myself. Good value.

17 degrees this morning, two car garage 60 degrees.

Follow up:

It's Late April and still very much like winter in Kansas. This heater hasn't missed a lick since it came out of the box. The electric bill is a little higher, but not as bad as I figured for constant running. Turned my garage into a usable area during the coldest of times. Love it.

Still a thumbs up from me.

At first, I loved this space heater. It was nice and warm.

There were only two small issues at the beginning. One is that the power light is on whenever it's plugged in, even if it's off, so it's rather useless as an indicator. The other is that the "adjustable angle" is a very small angle, maybe a 10 degree change in direction.

Then, one day, the heather stopped working. About 45 days after I bought it, so I can't return it to the store. I used the reset instructions that came with the heater. It worked for another 3 minutes or so. I had to reset it again. It worked for another 3 minutes or so. After having reset it 5 times just tonight alone, I've decided to throw it out and buy something else.

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

When its 20 degrees outside it heats my 1600 square foot home easy. It doesnt use a lot of wood. It burns the wood to powder. Very easy to get fire going, and maintain.

Like the other reviewer, about three months after installation, we found that our white towels had brown burn marks from where they made contact with the rail. The on/off switch stopped working about six months after installation and the unit now gets too hot for it to be safely used. It has become an expensive towel rack. When contacted, manufacturer acknowledged the two year warranty but suggested we get a rheostat to control the heat level upon reinstallation of the replacement unit, which suggested that they weren't confident that it was an isolated incident. I don't know about you, but if a product works as it is supposed to, why would you suggest the purchase of what amounts to a "safety switch?" In fairness, it looks good on the wall.

I liked the look and the size of the towel warmer and how easy it was to assemble and mount on the wall. I left a dry towel on the warmer for 20 minutes and I was a little disappointed by the lack of heat in the towel for the price. I am not sure if there is a limit to how much heat you can add before you hit a "danger zone" but the towel never made it to that point.not even close. Without having another one to compare I gave this one 3 stars...-2 for lack of higher heat to suit me.

Honest reviews on Pearl 8 Bar Wall Mount Electric Towel Warmer Finish: Bright

I love having warm towels after each shower, even on warm days. What I liked about this product is that it heats fast, and is very hot. I picked this one in particular because it is actual chrome, unlike others I've seen at local stores where it is just painted to look like brushed silver or chrome but it is actually plastic or something else. It also works like a radiator (yes, it will warm up the room too like an oil or water filled radiator). I like that silent, quiet heat that softly warms up the bathroom. The cons: it burns. I accidentally touched it with the sensitive skin of the wrist to get a pretty bad burn, still have the mark 3 months later. It also burns/marks the towels so I can't keep them for too long or avoid using this with your fancy favorite ones, and I would not use it for drying clothing at all (it has no thermostat just on or off but you can purchase one separately I just know that i personally would not use it other than on its highest setting). Another issue is getting the towels wrapped around each bar for maximum exposure to the heat (i.e., making them warmer), I would avoid doing it while the warmer has been on for a while as it will burn, but it helps make the towels warmer. But overall, I like that it works. If it was not hot it would not heat the towels enough.

If your an expat or just an anglophile and you are left wondering, "Why doesn't America embrace the electric kettle?!" then this is the item for you. Sleek and aptly priced.

I don't know why you'd pay around $50 for something that just heats water... brand loyalty? I wouldn't pay the extra $15-$30 just for the flat metal plate that the Braun or Philips has. (The West Bend kettle has a metal coil to heat up the water: Yes, you have to clean the coiled versions, but it's exactly the same as cleaning out a coffee maker... white vinegar once in a blue moon. Hey, the Brits and the Irish don't mind the coil, why should I?)

The stouter version of this I think is too small, unless you live alone and don't drink that much tea/coffee/cocoa. Between us, my brother and I drink six to eight cups of tea a day, plus hot cereal on top of that and this kettle is more than sufficient (1.7 liters).

Some more good things:

It turns of automatically after it comes to a roaring boil.

See-through panel lets you see the water level.

So quiet, you wouldn't know it's on...

That's why it has a little red light that goes on.

Has a locking top so as to avoid spills.

The black fits in with my kitchen's decor.

It also comes in handy for when I'm cooking, using up all the burners and need just a bit of hot water, quickly. Or even if I am cooking rice or pasta, it's easier to heat up the water in the electric kettle and then pour it into the pot on the stove.

Two complaints: The cord is thick and not very flexible (the cord itself is about two feet). I have this plugged into the same outlet as my microwave and cannot use the two at the same time or else I'll have a circuit short... but then again, whoever remodeled the kitchen did a bad job on the electicity.

Makes a great present for any hot beverage lover or college student.

Given the price this Kettle works ok, but:

it fails to shut off quite frequently, when boiling point is reached (which is why I ditched my old el. kettle)

it doesn't shut off, when you take it off the base (so you put it back empty and it's trying to boil the little water left inside)

you have to fit it onto the base (better models can be put on 360 degrees).

If you wanna use this a lot, get a better one.

Update: Yesterday I started boiling a quart of water and went to do something else in the mean time. Of course I forgot about my water. When I returned to the kitchen, the kettle had shut off but only after a full quart of water had evaporated :(

The kettle heats water great, BUT the automatic shut off doesn't work at all. This is something that a few other reviews mentioned, so I am sending it back. I do not recommend getting this model.

It was great while it lasted but it only lasted three months. I was thrilled with how fast and convenient it was until the heating element stopped working. I did use it almost daily so if you are looking for something for minimal use it may last you longer. I'm now caught in the exchange fun of Amazon says return to manufacturer and West Bend says return to original place of purchase. I don't expect either will be worth the effort for a $20 piece of equiptment.

I was excited about this fan because of the oscillating factor and the 3 speeds. Most only have two speeds. I like "instant" heat. If I'm cold, I want to get warm fast. Sitting directly in front of this fan I didn't feel that I was getting warm. It produces heat, just not where I wanted it. I felt like the warm air came out like a cone, only on the outside of the cone, not the center. If I stood two feet away from it, I couldn't feel the air/heat on me. It's just not what I wanted.

Winter only happens once a year and is separated by many months that dull the memories of the bad heaters you bought in winters past. For the winter season of 2010/2011, I purchased two different Optimus heaters for my house, the H-7328 and the H-7318.

I bought both units at the same time in October, so they sat in their unopened boxes well past the time you could return them. When winter came I set my brand new heaters up. The 7318 rattled so bad I could barely hear myself think. And within days the 7328 stopped oscillating and started to smell like burnt wiring. By February neither unit functioned, both thermostats apparently didn't work anymore so the unit that would actually provide heat would stay on forever, even if the unit fell face down on the carpet. YIKES, talk about dangerous.

So in March when I went to throw these units in the garage, on top of the pile of totally useless things I have bought in years past, I noticed something odd. I reached down and dug out three old heaters from the year before. Apparently I bought an Optimus H-5280, an H-3013 and an H-5230.

So in two years I have purchased no less than five Optimus heaters of which only one still works as advertised, which only goes to prove one thing, I AM A COMPLETE IDIOT, for ever buying an Optimus product. If they don't fail to work at all, then they stand a good chance of burning you alive while you sleep.

There seems to be poor thought in engineering all electric heaters. This one is in line with all the others, it has its good and bad points. Best not to be real interested in functions other than heat, at which this one is ok.

Pros: good heat output, oscillates, digital display, nice looking, 3 yr. warrenty, oscillation stops and starts

with the operation of the thermostat

Cons: hi and low heat are just that, heat, they aren't connected to the thermostat, turn it on and will run

forever I guess.

to use the thermostat you must get to auto and to do that you must touch either the up or down buttons and

presto you get auto. just set the desired temp and is shuts on and off like you would think a heater should.

don't expect even temp, it gets 2 degrees over set temp to shut off and 1 degree under set temp to turn back

on, that 3 degree swing is pretty noticable but most heaters are this way. I almost forgot, the auto only

functions with high heat, no choice there so if you want low heat you have no thermostat control

don't pick it up and move it or it resets itself to high heat, and the thermostat goes to 75, you will have

to go through the whole procedure to set another temp and get back to auto, this is a function of the tip

over switch I guess.

you have to lean way over to read the display, bad angle, to small, or just bad lighting, led's would be

better choice

who, now really, needs to have a remote control for a space heater

Seems to be a lot of cons but all heaters are pretty much the same in function. Doing it over I would get the

cheapest heater with a rotary switch and a rotary thermostat. Forget the digital display and remote control. Also

forget those $400.oo infrared heaters with nice wood cabinets. Physics is physics and E=ir still applies no matter

the price. 1500 watts is 1500 watts no matter what generates the heat. put a fan behind 15 100watt light bulbs

and you get the same amount of heat. This heater does what it was designed to do pretty well, but I think I could probably make one the way I would like it to function, just would cost to much to do.

I love this heater! I've gone through several electric heaters that do not warm up a room fast enough. I have had this heater for over 2 years now and it finally broke. The caution light turns on and then it doesn't do anything. We think it may be the thermal fuse so we might head to Radio Shack and fix it ourselves. Anyway, this heater has traveled with me from 3 different houses and it lasted throughout. I also love the remote that comes with it. The oscillating feature was great and I loved how it turned on and heated up quickly. The digital temperature was easy to read and it turned off when the room would be at that temperature. Small heater with a lot of power! Definitely recommend this product. Just hope it doesn't break!

This heater and others like it -costing even 3 times the cost of this one -still plug in to the SAME 15 20 amp wall outlet. That means they ALL use no more than 1500 watts of electricity. A 1500-watt electric heater produces around 5,000 BTUs of heat. Regardless of how many bells and whistles; or how many multi-speed blowers; or how nice the Amish-polished heater cabinet looks, all of the heaters generate the same BTUs as the $15 model from Walmart, Kmart, or Shopko.

This unit is truly prettier than I thought it would be. It matches my other oak furniture perfectly and the fireplace unit makes for cozy ambiance. It was very easy to put together and I got it together in a couple of hours. I did have help screwing in the small screws in the back since I was getting tired at that point in the evening but it was really very simple. I'd highly recommend this unit.

Mantle and electric fire place is the easiest i have ever assembled. dowel rods and a few lil screw bolts. looks decent, has a darker stain than i wanted, is not real wood. it is particle board with oak face. a little expensive but is not an eye sore.

This is everything that we wanted in the new basement/TV room. It arrived just as described; assembly too about 30 minutes and it is simple to use.

The popper arrived in good condition with some assembly required. Directions to assemble were poor and we had trouble figuring out the way to attach the lid. The popper works but only half the popcorn pops. The rest of the kernels shoot out of the metal bowl while the popcorn is popping. We have tried a number of different ways to approach this problem, but nothing working yet. We have to run through a lot of batches when we have companyrather a disappointment.

Dimplex #EUHWB Wall Hanger Bracket for EUH Series Review

Dimplex #EUHWB Wall Hanger Bracket for EUH Series
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
I purchased this bracket to mount a Dimplex EUH-series 5KW heater in my garage. The unit itself ships with a bracket made for ceiling-mount only. My ceiling is 10 feet high, and I wanted to place the unit at the 8-foot level.

Installation is straightforward. Take your measurements (don't forget to include the heater's drop from the bracket), find a stud, drill a couple of pilot holes then attach the bracket with two lag bolts. My wall has 2X4 studs, covered with 5/8" drywall. I used 5/16" X 3" stainless lag bolts. I wouldn't go any thicker than 3/8" if you're drilling into 2" studs, to avoid splitting the wood. The 5KW heater is 35 pounds the 5/16" bolts should easily hold this weight. The hardware for mounting the heater to the bracket is included, the lag bolts (and washers) are the only hardware you'll need to purchase.

This bracket is heavy-duty all the way, and Dimplex rates it for all their EUH heaters up to 12KW in size. Nice finish, would look good inside the house.

Only gripe is the price about 55 bucks. The heater is not cheap by any stretch, and including this bracket would be a nice perk. However, this is an industrial-grade heater designed to last a long, long, time. I can live with the added expense of a bracket to match.

If you set this heater on high it will give you way too much heat for one bathroom, unless it is a bigger than average bathroom. I initially used it in my bedroom, but again, too much heat, so I now use it on the stair landing, which is open to below and it still manages to warm-up the space without the heat concentrating too much -I don't like warm spaces, I'm just looking the tone-down the cold, and this does the job very nicely... but I've gotten the same results from heaters a lot less expensive than this.

Two things to consider: it is NOT "quiet operation". The fan is actually pretty noisy I can hear it all the way down to the kitchen, when it's on I put on music to drown the fan sound.

Secondly, unless you screw it onto the wall, it will come off just by the fan vibration, and forget trying to use a hairdryer or any other appliance using the extra outlet, the hardware to hold it in place is just too flimsy. Since I don't want it as a permanent fixture, I found my own way to hold it in place (using an outlet cover -this actually works better the hardware provided) but I still put my left hand on it when I turn it on or off to keep it from jumping off the wall.

This heater is really fantastic! It mounts on a wall socket in just second, and is removable just as fast. We heat a 16 X 12 three season room with just one of these heaters! They are a little noisy on high, but once the desired temperature is reached you can turn it down to a lower setting, and maintain the rooms temperature with less noise!! I would definetly recommend this heater!!

I agree with the Jan 18, 2005 review; the heater does not stay in the wall outlet. It falls out when you turn the knob to turn it off/on or after a few seconds on (from vibrations). It was our second time purchasing this model; the first one from a couple of years ago did not have this problem.

Honest reviews on Seabreeze Off the Wall ThermaFlo Bathroom Heater

I had doubts that this heater could keep our bedroom warm

all night, but the gas company wanted $3000 to install a

wall heater. So we gambled on $50+ and installed the

Seabreeze. It took about three minutes to install it and

a couple of nights to find the ideal temperature setting.

Now it quietly holds the room at a comfortable temperature

all night.

This would have received five stars except for the thermostat,

which is a bit temperamental. Sometimes it would turn on the heater immediately after setting it manually to a position which turned it off.

I would rate this with minuses if I could. I used it for a short period of time, perhaps 30 or so times at the most to top off my bathroom so I could shower comfortably. This morning I tried to use it and IT BURST INTO FLAMES! SO glad I was standing right next to it when that happened! It has never been dropped or kicked or damaged or mistreated in any way. I have used many electric space heaters and never had anything like this happen before. It stank up my whole apartment and would have burned it badly if I had turned it on and walked away. Thank God I didn't with my daughter, her husband and two precious grandchildren right upstairs, I'm so glad I didn't walk away from this horrible heater after I turned it on this morning!
