Good product. It works fine. I have had my Delonghi space heater for over 20 years. The switch finally gave out. Due to its unique design, I looked online for a replacement. This switch is an exact replacement for the original switch. I'm back in business with my heater now.

Despite all the negative reviews of this unit on Amazon.com, I found several other positive reviews elsewhere on the internet, and so I decided to give it a try. I'll admit I was skeptical as to how this unit would perform, especially since it seemed to be much less expensive than other 12,000 BTU units AND it included heat pump functionality. That being said, I am quite pleased with its performance so far.

After the terrible process of having to return a damaged portable AC unit of another brand just a week earlier, I was relieved to see when this one arrived at my door in rather robust packaging. Lifting it out of its "easy open" outer box and inner cardboard crate, I was able to observe its features in person for the first time. The multi-color display is a nice touch; the bright VFD display provides simple animations of the unit's current function, as well as a basic clock (used for setting the on/off timer), and the current temperature setting. The remote control sits in a holster on the back of the unit. I found the remote to be a bit bland, with all the buttons but the power button the same size and no distinction of the most frequently used buttons (i.e. temperature, mode) from the less frequently used extras (i.e. sleep mode, Celsius/Fahrenheit setting). The use of the remote is limited anyways since the display on the unit sits facing upward, preventing you from seeing what you are doing unless you are hovering above it.

Installation is pretty straightforward. The user's manual includes several photographs of the installation process, which doesn't differ much from any single-hose portable AC on the market. You simply screw the hose into the adapters and attach the adapters onto the back of the unit and onto the adjustable panel which you close in your window.

So now the important part: how it works. I found the unit to perform quite well. The AC function is plenty cool, and with three fan settings, you can adjust the level of output (and noise) to the current conditions. The heat pump also works well, and I was impressed with the fact that the unit waits to start blowing air into the room until the heat pump has begun generating warm air. That way, on a cold winter's day you won't get a rush of cold air in your face while the unit starts up. After your set temperature is reached, the unit shuts down completely (including the fan). Perhaps handy for some people is an auto mode which automatically heats if the temperature is below 68°F, dehumidifies if the temperature is between 68°F and 80°F, and cools if over 80°F. There also is an oscillation feature which helps circulate the air into the room.

As others have said, this AC unit is not super quiet. While in fan-only mode, the noise is minimal, but while heating, cooling, or dehumidifying, the exhaust fan in the back of the unit adds a considerable amount more. While nobody will be fooled into thinking a jet is landing, some may find it difficult to sleep with the unit in the room if it is doing anything but circulating air.

Just another quick note about draining the water bucket... be prepared to empty it no less often than most air conditioning units, regardless of what the manufacturer claims it can evaporate through the hose. I also agree with others who have said that the drainage plug is really close to the ground, so you may want to place it on a hard surface or elevate it slightly to assist in the drainage process. You do get a short hose and drip pan in the box to help you empty the moisture into a larger pan, but you may want to keep a towel handy as well.

Overall, this air conditioner/heat pump unit is a economical choice if you need all-season comfort in an area of your home. Various room-size estimations abound, some even rating this unit up to 500 sq. ft. My suggestion is that you use this unit for no more than a single large room, as you will probably see much worse performance if you try to heat or cool an entire floor with it. But for supplemental heating or cooling, you really cannot go wrong with the Soleus Air PH3-12R-03.

I had this AC unit for less than 1 months and it now SCREAMS! due to a bad pump. The manufacturer said they would "look at it" but I had to pay the shipping cost to ship to them in CA. Not worth the cost of the shipping, Total waste of money. NEVER buy from Soleus! Crap manufacturing, cheap plastic parts. poor warranty service. $400 just thrown away for something that only work for 2 months at best! I'd give zero stars if I could! DO NOT BUY, you have been warned!!!!!!

I just bought this 3 weeks ago. After numerous window units I thought I would try a portable unit so I could direct the air where I wanted it. First of all this unit was difficult to install. The directions were terrible. I have had a lot less problem with my previous window units. 12,000 BTU's should cool my entire living/dining room. It works okay if you are directly in front of it, but 8-10 feet away just so so. It is as loud as any window unit I have had. It does not cool down to lowest temp so compressor is always on. After running it quite a bit for three days I just had to drain the condensation holding tank which was an experience in and of itself! The plug is on the bottom about a half inch from the floor. It is below the hose so you have to remove that. When you remove the cap, there is no type of plug, so the water immediately begins pouring into the pitiful plastic drainage tray that is provided that holds about 1/2 cup at the most. With a 1.5 liter tank to drain you need to also have a bucket or a bowl and plenty of towels as I found it impossible to stop the flow trying to empty the tray of water into the bucket. Long story short, don't waste your money. Way to expensive for the hassle. I'm going to go have a beer and make up with my dogs who are quivering outside after hearing my yelling of obscenities during the drainage process.

Honest reviews on Soleus Air PH3-12R-03 Portable Evaporative Heat Pump/Air

I hope my review can save someone else the trouble and expense that I have endured, I purchased this unit for $420 and we used it for 1 month then put it away until the next summer well when next summer came around it didn't work just hot air comes out.

We call soleus air to use the 1 year manufacturer warranty and indeed they have told me that I will get a new one but I have to ship the old one back at my expense which from michigan to california is $160 shipping and packaging but they don't tell you this and every other company I have ever used pays shipping on a defective product especially one that was only used for a month.

I have $600 into this unit now and they are sending a new one supposedly but what about when this one goes out then I have to pay another $160 to ship it back???? what kind of service is that? My mother purchased one of these units before she had central air installed and she got 2 months out of hers and threw it in the garbage rather than pay the shipping back which is probably a smart move.

I wish that I had asked my mother what brand unit she had before I bought mine it would have saved me $600 bucks and they can keep sending me their junk until one actually makes it a year or I get tired of spending $160 to send them back or get central air which I can't afford but at the price this has cost me I almost could have bought central air.

They were nasty about it on the phone too with the attitude that this is their policy and too bad if you don't like it so if you want to brave it and buy their junk go right ahead but don't say you weren't warned.

The junk companies like soleus air have their people put good reviews on their products it's been a practice of these junk peddlers for a long long time so that explains the couple of good reviews.

This air conditioner/heater/dehumidifier is highly overrated by the manufacturer. 12,000 BTU should make your home feel like a refrigerator. It doesn't! It doesn't come close to the air cooling capacity of window units with less than half this rating. The drainage outlet is located way too close to the floor thereby not allowing for a hose to drain properly without elevating the unit. While there is a condensation overflow tank drainage again is an issue. I ran the unit for a solid eight hours at the lowest temperature setting/highest fan speed and the first floor of my small home was only marginally cooler. I was very disappointed as I had hoped this was the answer to both my cooling and heating needs.

Whynter SNO ECO-FRIENDLY 13000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Review

List Price: $575.00

I ordered this unit thinking it was what I wanted for my upstairs bedroom because I wouldn't have to give up one of the two windows and then could move it to the extra room while sewing. I live in MA and it worked fine the end of June, beginning of July. It cooled the room in no time at all. We then had a cold spell and didn't use it til August when it became brutally humid. I woke up after 2 hours of use and it shut itself down. Found out that the reservoir filled up. I drained it (which isn't easy since the drainage hole is very close to the floor) it turned on by itself and then in 2 more hours did the same thing. I contacted the company.

This is what they said: "Thank you for your purchase of the Whynter SNO ARC-13W portable air conditioner. Can you please put a pan under the drain plug of the air conditioner and remove the drain plug at the back of the unit? Once all water is drained out, the air conditioner should come on automatically.

Please make sure that the exhaust hose is not blocked or bent and able to vent the hot air with moisture to the outside. It is common that the unit is not able to exhaust the moisture collected if your room temperature is low or if the outside is raining or extremely humid. Also, sometimes when you first start running an air conditioner, the self evaporating system may not function in full capacity.

Also, you may want to set up the air conditioner to have continuous drainage by inserting a drain hose to the drain spout if you live in a humid location."

In order to put a pan under it, I had to elevate it on blocks. The pan filled up every three hours so I had to set my alarm to empty the pan.

The company offered a drainage hose but because it doesn't have the capability of pushing out the water, I would have to elevate the unit above the bottom of my window as to put the hose out the window. I contacted them again.

This is what they said: "Thank you for your reply. In order to set up continuous drainage, we recommend to elevate the air conditioner. We can send you a continuous drainage hose which you can connect to the drain plug of the air conditioner. to drain out the moisture continuously."

That defeats the purpose of "portable" so I guess if you live somewhere where it is very humid, this may not be the unit for you.

I've owned and used several portable air conditioners over the years and I'm truly surprised at the speed of innovation over the last several years. Now it has come to a point where portable units have moved beyond your functional clunky beige contraption to something that has been designed to subtly blend into the surroundings. After deciding between this and a Delonghi (yes, I've finally arrived now that I can afford high-end appliances!) I decided to go with the more compact unit that was at a more affordable price point. I've been using this for about a month now and have been completely satisfied with nearly all aspects. One little gripe that I have, is the absence of handles on the side, it definitely is heavy too. It does however churn out very very cold air, look extremely slick and is a snap to use. The remote control has a myriad of functions that I will eventually use one day but for now, I just need the icey relief from a hot spring day.

Great unit, I bought it to cool off the upstairs hallway and bathroom. It actually cools off the whole second floor of my home which keeps the downstairs cooler. Most portables have to be emptied everyday but this unit doesnt need to be emptied for at least a week (I know hard to believe). I like that it has two intakes on both sides and they are easy to clean. It isnt as heavy as my other portable units. I didnt have any problems with shipping. I am really happy with the unit, as a matter of fact, I am buying another one today and throwing out the old one that leaks all over my floor!

Honest reviews on Whynter SNO ECO-FRIENDLY 13000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

This is a great little air conditioner. I was skeptical about buying a portable A/C due to the many complaints I've read about them, but due to the restrictions in my NYC co-op prohibiting window air conditioners, a portable was my only choice. I bought this to supplement the mediocre central air in my apartment, which is both too weak for the space it's supposed to cool, and not activated in time for the season's first heat wave. This usually happens in late April or early May and forces me out of my un-air-conditioned apartment for a few days.

I was able to hook this unit up quickly. I had to cut the plastic window assembly, which was too long for the width of my window, which was easy to do with a metal ruler and a utility knife. I also had to seal up the edges where the assembly meets the window frame, which I did by cutting some foamcore strips to the right width, covering them in black duct tape, taping them to the top and bottom of the plastic window assembly, placing the assembly in the window, and sealing the joins with more black duct tape. Using duct tape that matched the black window frame made it look neat and seamless. Aside from buying the materials, it took around 30 minutes total to get this out of the box, hooked up and working.

This unit emits a steady stream of freezing cold air, taking my apartment down from the 73-76 degrees provided by the building's unit to around 65-68, which I find much more comfortable. So far I've left it on most of the last 3 weeks and haven't had to empty it yet. The cooling is most effective near the unit, which I keep near my desk and bed, and less effective across the apartment in the kitchen, which is closed off allowing less circulation, and has a refrigerator emitting heat into the room.

The unit emits about the same amount of noise as a large fan. I find this easy to sleep to. Whether or not the compressor is on or off, the noise level is about the same. This unit is one of the smaller portable air conditioners I've encountered, which should make it easy to store in the winter.

Much can be said about this unit but I will keep it short.

It does what it's supposed to. There are plenty of features on it.

The weight is impressive. I read that it was heavy but for it's size, it's...heavy.

I was lucky that the unit arrived in good condition. Due to the weight, I believe it could be shipped with more protection and I can see how others received broken units.

This thing runs constantly. I live in a dry climate so I don't have to empty any reservoirs. It's still keeping things cool. The filters are easy to get to and clean.

My kerosene heater started smoking lately and taking about 20 minutes to get to normal operating temperature, so I ordered this new wick. It arrived in a less than a week and installation was quick and easy. Good time to clean up the windows in the heater while it's apart. Make sure the three nubs on the new wick fit into the three slots correctly before you put it all back together, the wick should go up and down as you turn the knob on the heater from low to high. Once this is done put the heater back together, put in some fuel and test it out. My new wick now lights instantly and doesn't smoke anymore. It also puts out more heat than before because the old wick had shrunk and was charred around the outside edge. If your heater is smoking and takes a while to get up to temperature, buy one of these wicks.

Buy Optimus H-1380 Portable 3-Speed Oscillating Fan Heater

Customer Ratings:

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.

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. I bought it for my bedroom but it could heat the whole upper level. The only draw back is no thermostat. Just on and off with a 4 hr timer option. Otherwise, I would buy this over and over again. Super heater.

Best Deals for Bionaire BSH3818-U SafetySmart 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.

I can't believe companies even sell clip on stroller fans that have hard plastic blades, but they do. This fan is superior because the blades are foam. If the baby sticks their fingers in the blades while the fan is running, they will not be hurt. All the fans I saw in stores had plastic blades and I just don't see how it is safe at all.

This fan kept my baby cool and comfortable in her stroller even when the temperature was over 95 degrees. She loved having a breeze on her face. The color and pattern is cute too. Would also be good for a bigger kid to take to camp and hook on their bunk bed at night.

Buy Pawleys Island Beaches Quilted Duracord Fabric Hammock

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $234.00
Sale Price: $199.98
Today's Bonus: 15% Off

I have owned this hammock for approximately 1 month and am extremely pleased with it. Some of the reasons why include:

1. Attractive. The photograph of the hammock does not do it justice. The red and greens are deep and rich, the oak spreaders shine. The stripes add a nice color dimension which is lacking in a rope hammock. It simply looks lovely swinging in the breeze under a shady tree in my backyard.

2. Comfortable. After reclining in a quilted hammock, I will not go back to a rope hammock no ropes cutting into you! Note that the quilting is light you get a bit of cushion, but it is NOT like lying on a bed. The potential con is that the fabric will not "breathe" like a rope hammock. It may be that the rope hammock (with the loose weave) is cooler on a hot day, but I have not had any problems with feeling overheated.

3. Well made. The hammock comes complete with everything you need to hang it immediately. This includes the tree hooks, chains (many hammocks don't include the chains) and a very clever hook/hanging system. Basically, the chain is welded to the center of a dual ended hook one side hooks into your eye-bolt or hammock stand. The other end is where you can drape the chain links in order to shorten the chain. It's a simple idea once it you see it, but it works very well. Your hammock will hang at the correct height. The chains appear to be rust-resistant, and the oak spreaders are treated with marine polish to help make them weather resistant.

4. Weather resistant. My kids left the hammock out and of course the tree dropped leaves on it and it rained. It dried quickly and I simply brushed off the leaves. Voila! Good as new. I was concerned that the rich colors would run/fade if it got wet, but the dye appears weather resistant.

This hammock is a winner.

Update: I have now had this hammock for over a year and it still looks like new! Granted, I stored it in my garage for winter, but it has been in use outside most of the year. Hurray for DuraCord Fabric! Truly, an excellent product!

After quite a few years of owning a cotton, open mesh, quality hammock, the squirrels decided to chew on the many knows in the ends of the hammock. I repaired it as best as possible but you can't win with a squirrel as your adversary.

Hence it was time to get a new hammock (not squirrel) and I purchased this beautiful quilted model. It is excellent. After using it all summer I can easily say this is the best hammock for comfort I have ever owned. It is a beautiful piece of work and the quilted fabric makes you think you are on memory foam.
