Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I got this product to use as a floor standing LED fireplace. There were some issues with the packing of this product. The sides of my unit were badly bent on one side making it difficult to assemble the unit. The glass was intact and the bag of rocks was present as well as the remote. However, the mounting screws for the base of the unit were not included and I had to get some from a hardware store. The unit was covered in a thick dust which was more like dirt/sand than dust. It was almost as if the unit had been used, abused and returned.

Distributing the rocks was difficult for me (and there weren't enough)...once you get the rocks in place, you have to put on the glass front. Moving the units can displace the rocks you've so carefully arranged.

When turned on, the fireplace does look nice. Based on its dimensions I put this fireplace in my regular fireplace (it fits perfectly). Some of the LED colors look cheesy but I do like the orange/red mix. Unfortunately the unit doesn't remember your color setting so you have to cycle through the colors each time you turn it on. The remote also has a very limited range and I find myself not even using it.

For heat, there are two 750 watt heaters you can turn on which are essentially forced air heaters. When it gets cold enough to use them I will report back on the heating capability of this fireplace.

Overall I am disappointed in the quality of the packing, the lack of a quality control inspection and the overall condition of the item. I'll also point out that my fireplace was placed in the (manufacturer) box upside down...another quality control issue. I have doubts about the longevity of this item but so far it seems to be holding up well despite being scratched, dented and dirty upon arrival.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a review of the Frigidaire VWF-10305 Vienna 2-in-1 LED Fireplace. I am totally dismayed by this product. It came shipped to me in a timely manner, but that was the only enjoyable part of this product. When I opened the manufacturer box, the fireplace was held in place with a few bits of broken, crumbling styrofoam, the bag with the rocks was broken open and they were loosely scattered everywhere, the plastic protective sheet for the glass was only applied to half the surface and was wrinkled and scuffed, the metal "ears" that hold the glass to the base unit were bent out of shape, and the remote control was missing. I must have been sent a used/returned product, because I can't believe that a new unit would have come that shoddily packaged, damaged, and with missing parts.

It gets worse. I have tried contacting the customer service department as instructed on the included paperwork to try to obtain a replacement remote for the one that was missing, but all three attempts so far have been fruitless. I can only conclude that my unanswered requests for customer support means that they do not care to support their product, nor do they want my business in the future.

Due to the number of problems encountered with this product and lack of support from the company, I cannot in good faith recommend this product to anyone. I would suggest looking for a different brand than Fridigaire / R&D Group LLC.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Frigidaire "Vienna"

2 in 1 (Wall Mount & Floor Standing) Color Changing LED Fireplace

Item Number: VWF-1/0305

The Frigidaire "Vienna" Color Changing LED Fireplace measures 35.4" x 5.9" x 22" (90 cm x 15 cm x 56 cm). The fireplace stands an additional 1.75" (4.5 cm) off the floor when mounted on the floor stand. The fireplace weighs a hefty 46 pounds which makes moving it around a bit difficult to do on your own but will be sturdy when you set it down in your chosen spot. Brackets and screws for wall mounting are included.

The Vienna comes with manual and remote control capability with a low setting of "750W" and a high setting of "1500W" and heats a small or medium sized room fairly well. The fireplace can be used with or without heat. When operated manually, you can hold the power button down for 3 seconds to operate the automatic color change function. The flames change color every 10 seconds. There is a "Dimmer" button on the remote control that doesn't dim the simulated flame but changes the color(s) of the flame when pressed. It does not have the automatic color change function when using the remote control. There are 4 basic "flame"colors Amber, Red, Green and Blue and 6 combinations of 2. White stones that look like coals are also included and add to the effect.

The instructions are easy to read and assembly was easy too. The front panel is made if glass and only needs to be cleaned on occasion with a soft cloth. The rest of the unit can be cleaned with a soft duster so keeping your unit clean should be a breeze.

The pictures on the box are no way near to what the "flames" look like when in operation. It looks like tissue paper flames being blown by a fan. In different colors. I think the manufacturer is aware of this because the following is printed on the box: "The features displayed on the package of this product are to the best of the knowledge of its manufacturer and can slightly vary in actuality. Style and color may vary." This product was manufactured in China. I don't know if that makes a difference. You will be surprised by the "Stunning Adjustable Flame effect to set the perfect level of brightness" as stated on the box. The colors are strange. Perhaps that is because they are not all typical flame colors. They would be fun if you were having a party! The LED bulb is not replaceable so if it should stop working, it would just operate with it's heat functions.

The fireplace makes a low humming sound which one would expect, however, there is a strange cyclical clicking sound that we think is supposed to simulate the crackling of a fire.

If you have children in the house you may want to rethink this choice since the front panel is made of glass and even when mounted on a wall, it is recommended that it be mounted "2 feet from the bottom of the fireplace relative to the floor" for optimum viewing. The corners of the glass panel are square and not rounded which could pose another hazard.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire VWF-10305 Vienna 2-in-1 Wall Hanging & Floor Standing

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The photos of this product are fantastic. Unfortunately, what you get in the box does resemble the picture. The packaging for the product is poor. My unit had several nicks, dents, and scratches because of the poor packaging. Setting the unit up is difficult (at least as far as getting it to look like the picture).

The decorative rocks can be irksome. If you're thinking of using this product as a floor heater, you'll have to set it up each time you move it.

The faux flames look pleasant enough if somewhat unrealistic, but again not as impressive as what's pictured. The different colors are a nice touch to help match the room and mood. The flame colors are a matter of taste. Some will enjoy all of them, while others will find a few of the choices gaudy.

The two heat settings are decent. Both are good for heating a small room. A medium-sized room can be heated with the highest setting. Anything larger than that, the unit will struggle to heat up.

For practical heating, a Vornado is a much better choice. If you're looking for something more stylish, this product is a possible alternative. However, given its high price, haphazard packaging, and somewhat misleading product photos, I can't recommend paying a premium for the Vienna's looks.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Our family has actually really been enjoying this little unit. We have it standing on the floor in the living room. It generates a very nice amount of heat when that setting is turned on, and doesn't seem to dry out the air as much as our floorboard heaters do. The flames can be run without heat, and are very pretty. My kids really enjoy the alternating colors. It is very quiet, even when turned to the maximum heat setting. Set up was relatively straightforward, the only problem was that the wrong screws were included. A quick call to the manufacturer set that right, and the replacements arrived very promptly.

The current listed price is kind of steep for what this is, but on the other hand, it seems reliable as a heater and very elegant. A fake fireplace is kind of a novelty item anyhow, and I imagine you are mostly paying for the design. The responsiveness of customer service was very reassuring.

This heater does absolutely nothing anyone would want. At best it is a $270 hand warmer. As another reviewer mentioned, even sitting directly under it will barely warm the top of your head. If you buy this, you WILL be disappointed.

I returned the first unit sent to me because it arrived with a broken glass plate. Amazon quickly sent me a second unit which I returned because the heat produced was inadequate.

I placed the unit at the back of our covered porch, set it to its lowest height, pointed it down, and sat directly under it, but only the top of my head was warmed. Weather conditions were 48 degrees and wet, but still, manufacturer claims of a 9' blanket of heat just are not credible.

The manufacturer claims of a 12' electrical cord are factually correct, but half of the cord is needed to run down the length of the stand (inside the metal tube) leaving you with (depending on how high you set the unit) only about 6' to connect to an outlet.

Regarding assembly, much of the unit seemed solidly built, but there was almost no threading for some of the screws.

One other note, Amazon lists the base at 33", but it is actually about 22". Not a problem, the base is heavy and the unit stable. But it might give you the wrong impression as to the size of the heater.

I live in New York City and own an apartment with outdoor space. Most outdoor heaters require propane tanks and propane tanks are not easy to acquire or refill when you rely on public transportation. I was hoping this Infrared Heater would extend the use of my outdoor space into the fall/winter, however that has not been the case. I received this very big box that required me to put some parts together. Assembly wasn't terrible, but more than I had anticipated. I put everything together, moved it outside to my 18x5 balcony and turned it on. After several minutes I checked to see how much of the balcony was warmed and was SERIOUSLY disappointed. In order to be warmed by this lamp you would have to sit within 12 inches of the pole.

This looks nice, but you get what you pay for. It;s not real beefy, even though it looks like it. It requires a dedicated 30amp outlet according to my electrician. If you run anything else on the same line not good. It's IR, so you have to be in the "heat light path" so to speak, but you really need to be sitting right near it. If I was to get another one...I wouldn;t I would get a propane one that blasts heat and doesn't trip circuit breakers.

Very good product. This model has a class cover on the heating head, which is nicer looking and better in protection of the heating head.

Very easy to put together. Be aware, there's ball in the heating head, when the heater is in standing position, there's a heavy ball that drops down invisible, when the switch is pulled. This is a good safety feature.

However, there could be defective parts, which happened to me. I had to call the manufacturer in Florida to replace it. Be sure to take pics and send to them for clear communication. Their customer service is pretty good.

The unit works well and looks great! Be sure to unplug it while not in use, and put the head cover after the unit cools down.

Installation was easy and the product has a nice finish. Looks great in our living room. Eventhough it was bought just for the look and feel of a fire place, it does give off a fair amount of heat as well when you use 3 cans of gel. I Like the center panel that flips down which hides the audio/video equipment when not in use.

Buy Infrared Portable Heater w/ Wood Trim (Black)

Customer Ratings:

Okay granted I've had it for a day but still :) So far it really blows out heat, however the fan is super quiet especially for the amount of heat and air it puts out. I bought it on a trailer sale at a Tractor Supply Co for 350 with a 5 year warranty that also covers lifetime bulb replacement. According to the salesman when asked how does Comfort furnace compare to Edenpure he says CF produced the Edenpures until they had a disagreement over the bulbs comfort furnace uses. CF updated their bulbs to have a cool looking steel disbursal wrapped around the bulb whereas Edenpure basically has a regular lookin infrared bulb. It heated my drafty 1974 11x32 ft trailer pretty well by itself. Inside temp was about 67 outside about 30ish. I had previously bought a Lasko Cyclone heater from WalMart cos people said itd heat that small of space pretty well. Nope.I'd recommend the comfort furnaces over the other brands because It does what it says does. My grams and great aunt have edenpures and like them well enough but i like having the uv light on mine for germ control. My uncle had bought an Iheater and apparently it jacks up your electric bill pretty well. No complaints on edenpures. Lady at walmart had a comfort furnace in her garage and says it worked great and her husband didn't notice a hike on electricity. My BF's mom has a Suncloud and they both like it and also no complaints on electricity.

I just read the first review. I purchased this furnace, but in the oak case. I also purchased it from Tractor Supply Company (TSC). We noticed that the outlet this was plugged into had burn marks on it. We then looked at the cord. The plug was singed and the cord was melting. I called customer service. They don't honor their warranty too well. All they would do was replace the cord, not the actually furnace, but I had to pay for shipping. They were not too concerned about the fire risk. Tractor Supply took the unit back, refunded our money and even gave us a new outlet. This is not their product, but they were more concerned about happened and provided excellent customer service. I can't say anything good about the manufacturer.

For years I've used a kerosene heater to heat my garage, and found it acceptable for occasional use. On my last trip to the gas station, Kerosene was over $5 per gallon. Now, each time I wanted to do a project in the garage during the winter, it cost me $3 to $4 just to take off the cold! Being the cheapskate that I am, I shopped the online used stuff site we all love, and purchased a used blue flame heater for $80, that looked like new. The owner told me it worked great. So I parted with the cash and hooked everything up to my new gas line in the garage. After an hour, I went out to see how things were going. Obviously, there was a problem, because the garage stunk to high heaven. I had just wasted $80.

After reeling from my loss of four crisp Twenty Dollar Bills, I suddenly became a very smart shopper. While I was not able to do comparisons on anything but paper, I decided on the ProCom based on what "seemed" to be the popularity of the system. Also, I went with the infra-red design, based on the notion that newer usually means improved. Minutes ago, I fired up my new heater, and I could not be happier. After a few minutes of running, there are no fumes at all. I even went outside for a breath of fresh air, and to tune up my nostrils for anything I may not have detected earlier. No problem! This thing burns clean!

I live in the Detroit area, and could not locate a retail store where I could pourchase this unit. On-line seemed to be my only option. Then, as I was driving to Central Michigan University to pick up my daughter, it occurred to me that the buyer demographic in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan (up north, as we say here) may actually stock these things. They do, and the price at Manard's was competitive with the best I found on-line. I'm sold. You can't go wrong with a ProCom.

Installation was simple, hookup to natural gas a plus and it heats up a 3 car garage in a little over an hour from about 45 to 70 degrees, exactly what I was looking for. Gas is so much cheaper than electricity it just makes $ence. Would definitely recommend and buy again.

Cheap Samsung WF330ANW 3.7 cu. ft. High Efficiency Front-Load Washer

Customer Ratings:

When my 5 year old Maytag top loader washer crapped out, I decided to replace my 18 year old dryer as well. I Purchased the matching set of Samsung 330 washer and dryer. If I knew then what I know now, I would have purchased these front loaders a few years ago.

I did a lot of research and found most of these front load washers use much less water, less electricity, and do a better job at cleaning clothes than most top loaders. My laundry is on the 2nd floor of my house so I was concerned about noise and vibration. And of course like everyone else I was looking for the best value for my dollar. Some reviews complain of vibration. Maybe they were not leveled correctly. Mine was delivered and installed professionally. The machine is super quiet and vibration free even to the touch. The only noise or vibration comes from the super fast spin cycle, and even that is much less than my previous top loader.

Here's what I have found so far:

Pros:

Cleans better than top loaders

Will handle much larger loads

Uses less detergent

Uses much less water

Uses less electricity

You can barely hear it run

Very little to no vibration, even to the touch.

The fast spin cycles removes more water from the clothes thereby making the dryers job that much easier.

Cons:

The cycles are about 20% longer than my previous top loader.

Be careful. Go to Google and search "Samsung washer won't spin". This washer has a problem spinning. My washer is installed in our basement on a concrete floor. It is level (has been checked by a technician as well as us). The load cannot balance and it won't spin. Once it tries to spin and can't, it throws the load back into a rinse cyle. This is why the load of wash on "Normal" takes almost 2 hours instead of 58 minutes!! Samsung finally admitted to us through the repair tech that the oil surrounding the drum gets thick at any temperature under 60 degrees. That leads to problems with spinning/balancing the load. If you are putting this washer in your basement or garage or any place it may drop below 60 degrees...think twice. We may try to return this to the store where purchased but I am afraid I will have to fight for it. A very expensive mistake.

I never really liked how this machine did wash. It was unpredictable in how long the cycle was, whether it would get the HE detergent completely out of your clothes, etc.

But this is what did it for me. An undocumented error code, that requires a service call, appeared on our machine 1 year and 10 days after we bought it (but less than 1 year after we received it since it was back ordered) and Samsung wants to charge me for a service call.

And the manager on the help desk can't do anything about it.

This is only what I can describe as horrible customer service.

Honest reviews on Samsung WF330ANW 3.7 cu. ft. High Efficiency Front-Load Washer

This machine doesn't have the annoying buzzer that our last machine did. It chimes. At first the dial with all the buttons was intimidating and I thought I would have to read the manual from cover to cover just to run it. However, I soon found out after turning it on how really user friendly it was. It even alarmed letting me know that it's hot water hose was crimped. Sure enough the hose was crimped and after getting it straightened out it was good to go again. It is really easy to pause the cycle too. This machine uses very little water and is very quiet so if your like me you may think something is wrong with it and sit with a flashlight looking in watching in amazement. You can really cram a lot in it and it all come out clean, and unlike top loaders it uses less soap and won't mess your bras up around a central spindle.

Review of Bionaire BSH3818-U SafetySmart Heater

Customer Ratings:

We decided that because of the high cost of heating that they are predicting for this winter that we would purchase a couple space heaters. I just purchased this a couple days ago at a local store, which happened to be more expensive than Amazon's price. We've set up the space heater in our Family Room and are quite happy with the warmth it has provided so far. It is also very quiet and doesn't look odd or out of place in our decor. It's light and very easy to move. The safety features are great.....once it tips even a little it stops. I'm sure that this must be a requirement for other heaters but we were happy with this feature as the kids are always running around and knocking things down. We'd hate to have it start a fire. I'm thinking about purchasing another heater for upstairs and will update this review if I have any negative feedback.

Just bought this at a local store for a bit less than here. It is amazing. It has a beam that shuts down the heater if something blocks it for more than 3 seconds and it puts out a lot of heat.

Super heater.

I purchased two of these units in the fall. For their size they really put out the heat, but that can be a problem, because they don't have thermostats. So on just a slightly chilly day you can really end up with the space your warming too hot for ones liking. The timer feature is helpful, but doesn't replace a thermostat. After months of use, one of the heaters stopped working for me, but the other is still going as good as the day we purchased it. I think this heater is a fair value for a price of $29.99.

List Price: $479.00
Sale Price: $399.99

Guess I'll go in order of what was important to me when buying my first portable A/C unit.

Cooling: My residence has two large picture windows facing east and I'm on the top floor of the building. It gets blazing hot about 30 days a year here in San Francisco, so my place gets like an oven. So good cooling was critical. (If you are curious, without A/C on the hot days it would get a stifling 80 to 85 degrees in my rooms! Alas, that's the price I pay for having an otherwise full water view of the San Francisco bay, Bay Bridge and east bay foothills. The 15' x 10' windows provide a great view, but they act like magnifying glasses (even with blinds that block the heat, and a fully insulated ceiling). The only benefit of the heat in my place, as the old saying goes, "it is a dry heat." I am thankful for that because I HATE humidity.

I have always used window A/C units, about 5000 to 8000 BTU each, one in the living room, one in the bedroom. (My latest units were small 7000 BTU Panasonics. They work great and I simply figured it was time to replace them, being that they are about 2004 units.) Wanting to update I decided to get a portable unit, first for the bedroom, to see how it would perform.

This Haier unit gets the bedroom ice cold and if I leave the BR door open it cools the next room somewhat. How cool is that? Very. (Note: the BR is about 200 SF.)

Dependability: My Haier unit has been left on 24 hours, without incident. And I have had it for 18 months. I last used it about 8 months ago. When it got hot here a couple days ago I plugged it in, it fired right up and again ran 18 hours without incident. I was the coolest cat in town, literally and figuratively.

Set It and Forget It: I like the controls. I set it to the desired temp, the thermostat works perfect, cycling the cooling on and off according to the temp setting.

Features: While mainly concerned about cooling performance, I did want a unit with a remote, temp settings, thermostat (rather than a high, med, low switch), digital display, and fan speeds. This Haier comes with all these features.

Noise: While I did not want a unit that was super noisy, noise emission was not a critical factor. But I was pleasantly surprised that this Haier unit can operate quiet. Yeah, when the fan is set to full blast it is noisy, but hey, it is an A/C unit. If it is making lots of noise, that's because you are running it full blast. As an indication of noise level, if I have it running full blast and I'm in the next room, I don't notice it. I have to walk into the BR to see if it is on.

Keep in mind, however, an added benefit of the noise is that it acts as a white noise machine. You get used to the sound and it pleasantly drowns out City noise, which here in San Francisco there's a lot of. So when you set it on at night, it is like taking an Ambien. It lulls you to sleep. (It is kind of the same effect as falling asleep when on a jet, or on a train. The noise emissions of those travel modes can put you to sleep, so much so that my noise making machine has "train mode" where it sounds like you are in a train sleeping car., with the hum of the engines and clacking of the wheels on the rails.)

Value: I bought my unit on sale for about $270. What a great deal. I wish I had bought two of these units. Oh well, but I will buy another Haier unit because the Company has proven itself.

Portability: The unit is on wheels and actually quite easy to move around. While the footprint is somewhat large, hey, it is an air conditioner not a stereo. I was not expecting this to be the size of a microwave. In any event, it does roll around with little effort, although once you have this placed where you want (and where the tubing can vent hot air outside through a window) you are not going to be moving it much.

Bonus Tip: I am going to experiment with another one of these and run the exhaust hose up the stove hood. That's because I have a computer area next to the kitchen and there's no window nearby, so when trying to figure out a solution I looked at the kitchen hood. I can remove the fan and run the A/C exhaust tube into the circular fan opening that runs to the roof of the building. Yeah it won't look pretty, but I'd rather feel cool than look it.

Instructions: This was easy to unpack and all I made sure to do was remove all the tape and foam around the unit. So I did have to read the instructions to make sure I did not miss anything. Otherwise, you plug it in and turn it on. It is that simple. Matter of fact I turned it on without the exhaust tube connected to a window. The exhaust air was broiling hot. Kind of silly, one end was blowing ice cold air, the other end blowing air hot enough to cook with. But I wanted to try it out because that's what guys do.

Bragging Rights: I enjoyed calling my friends who were suffering in the heat, saying "Wow is it cold today or what. Hold on, I have to put on a coat. Oh wait, that's my A/C unit, never mind." (I then heard the phone click. How rude for them to hang up on me. Was it something I said?)

Bonus Tip: If your place is going to get hot later in the day, turn on your A/C BEFORE it gets hot. These A/C units work a lot better if they don't have to cool down an 80 degree room. I'm a lot more comfortable if I don't wait to turn on the Haier until AFTER it feels like an Easy Bake oven in my place.

Bonus Tip: To give this A/C unit a little extra circulation (to where it blows air into the next room, not a lot, but some) I place a little portable fan on the table next to this unit. I then run the fan on high. This adds about 1/3 more power to blow and circulate the cool air around.

We have crank-out windows, and never looked at air conditioners much, we never really needed one. After reading many reviews we decided to try this air conditioner for those few nights the heat and humidity made it hard to sleep. It is exactly as represented...cools well and was easy to install. Even if we don't use it alot, the price made it affordable.

We needed to replace our Whirlpool portable unit and this was a much better buy. A few dollars more, but no more draining the water. It's quiet enough and cools very well. I'm very pleased with it

Honest reviews on Haier CPN10XCJ 10000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner

I bought this portable air conditioner for my apartment after temperatures in my area reached 100+ degrees because my fan just wasnt cutting it and wow what a wonderful little unit. It is a medium sized air conditioner, kind of heavy but has wheels to move around, comes with the exhaust and a kit to hook it up to a window which can adjust to most window sizes for both horizontally and verticall. It's pretty quiet compared to most air conditioners and even though my room is a decent size with high ceilings it'll make the whole room cool within minutes. It has an adjustable thermostat and also has heating and dehumidifying capabilities and works as a fan also if you dont need the cooling. Great GREAT product, if you're in the market for a portable air conditioner, this is THE ONE.

I purchased this 10,000 btu unit after reading over 50 reviews on Amazon and Walmart. I could not go bigger as this unit is 115 volt and plugs into a normal electric outlet while the 12,000 btu unit requires a 20 amp dedicated fuse and outlet. Haier states the unit is for a small room, i.e. 300 sq. ft. area max.

I believe the manufacturer is reading reviews, too. My 2012 version has an unlighted circuit-breaker plug and the bright blue front panel turns itself off after a few seconds. (The light from the LED's bothered people who installed the unit in the bedroom.

One sets the thermostat to the desired temperature and picks the fan speed. There is also a timer function. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are three fan speeds and the unit continues to run whether the compressor is working or not. Since it is dehumidifying when the compressor isn't on, I don't mind the continual fan.

The remote has large buttons and the same functions as the unit.

I would like to mention that the exhaust pipe heats up fairly significantly when it is cooling. So, cold air is coming out the front but the exhaust vent pipe is reducing efficiency. I may insulate the vent piping on principle.

Also, there is a knob on the back that says "closed/open" that does not appear in the instruction manual. I have not tried to go to the manufacturer's site to read up-to-date specifications.
