Great concept, however the biggest flaw is the thermostat. The unit itself comes packaged well and is very easy to install. They even include a drill bit for the correct size holes needed for the wall anchors. I have this installed exactly as instructed in our baby's room. We wanted to keep the temperature in the room at exactly 74 degrees. The heater's thermostat is not accurate to even 2 degrees. Best bet is to get the non-digital thermostat version and buy the Lux wall plug thermostat.

Very easy to install and does a very good job to turrn a normally cold room into one that is very comfortable. The only downside is the thermometer. It seems to do the job of getting hotter as the number goes up, but the actual use of it to serve as a thermostat for the room is not so great. I might consider an external thermostat for my next version instead of it being built in. Overall, a good heating solution for a small to medium sized room.

This is a very elegant heater for small spaces. It's a nice matt white finish out of the box, and the textured ceramic finish is paintable. I bought this to replace the TERRIBLE Envi 220V heater a customer had me install (malfunctioned, right out of the box; customer service wouldn't accept the return without the box, nor pay return shipping in any case). The finish appearance, installation process, and the fact that the thing worked, were all refreshing improvements over the Envi heater. I was able to convert my 220V hard-wired connection to a shallow-wiremold surface mount 120V duplex receptacle on a 15A GFCI circuit breaker. At only 400W, there's no need for 220V for this type of heater, anyway. Now, the customer gets an extra GFCI receptacle socket so they could shave and use a hair dryer at the same time, if they wanted!

The installation in wall-board or flat masonry walls was very straightforward using the supplied integrated-standoff-and-wall-anchor device.

Single-use anchor/standoffs could be a problem for some users / applications

Should you be mounting to a wood wall (maybe you shouldn't, due to heat or potential malfunction and fire?) or some other material that does not support an expanding plastic anchor fastening method, you may be out of luck. Also, measure three times before drilling for the anchors (masonry bit supplied) or installing them, since the unit ships with only the 4 you will need, and you won't find anything that will work as a substitute at the hardware store. Don't lose, use in the wrong location, or break these anchor/standoffs!

Thermostat defaults to 72 whenever power is cycled off and back on.

The integrated logic-controlled thermostat seems to work well, although it does not remember the user setting after cycling the power off; it defaults to 72 degrees Fahrenheit as the set temperature when turned back on. Setting memory would be nice in case you want to operate it through a wall-receptacle timer device. 72 is not too bad a default setting, but users may wish they had more options to set their own target for when the timer turns the unit on again after down time.

Not for use in bathrooms?

The instructions state that the unit is "not intended for use in bathrooms or other areas where users could be in contact with water while operating the unit". I presume the manufacturers don't trust your existing receptacle to be GFCI-protected (many older bathroom, laundry, kitchen and basement receptacles are standard type where they should be GFCI-protected due to the likelihood people may be solidly grounded to water pipes or wet masonry floors while contacting the receptacle device, it's cover, or a cord-connected appliance that has a dangerous ground-fault. I consider that when connected to a GFCI in a plumbed location like a bathroom, the T400 U unit should be safe to operate.

Just finished putting this together and I have to say this is a beautiful fireplace for the money. The firebox is top quality and the fire is extremely realistic. This adds such a wonderful touch of elegance to our bedroom not to mention the heating benefits. It takes around 2 and a half hours to put together and you actually get more parts than are actually required for assembly. I am extremely happy with my purchase

This fireplace is great. It heats our home and makes it cozy. I get a lot of compliments when people come over. It's something we use often and enjoy. It's not the most expensive looking and that is why I gave it 4 stars, but I would recommend for the price.

Cheap The AirFlow Breeze Home Heating/Cooling System (Brown) (Fits 4"W x

Customer Ratings:

I ordered this product for our upstairs bedroom vent to help cool the room. The thermostat to control the fan speed is a great idea, but ours doesn't consistently run only when the AC kicks on. When it does run, it's not exactly quiet and kind of annoying. However, we do manage to sleep through it fine. Overall though, I gave this product only 2 stars because it doesn't force that much more cold air into the room. It would also be helpful if the vent slats were directional. Running the fan function by itself (not with the AC) produces no extra cold air, only air movement.

After purchasing one, I hoped it would work at least okay to purchase another for my upstairs office. Instead, I'm shelling out the money for a free standing AC unit. I'd advise you to do the same if you want cold air.

In my situation, the AirFlow Breeze register booster really works. The product looks great you don't even notice it's different from a regular vent cover. My spare bedroom/craft room was always a little too stuffy and a little too cold depending on the season. Now, I can enter that room for a little quiet time and never notice the temperature difference. Thank you AirFlow you have made my problem room manageable!

I too live in a 4 story townhouse and the 4th floor in the summer is like an oven. I got this device and some insulating curtains and now the temp is somewhat reasonable. I had a professional hvac person come out and he said it would cost over 3,000 bucks to fix it. Given this thing is 50 and it is helping take it down a notch, I give it a great review.

This thing won't fix the issue, but it helps make it smaller.

First of all, this thing is heavy. I hope you have a friend to call to help you get it in the house. I seriously feel bad for the FedEx guy who delivered it.

Second, I really appreciate the effort that went into the packaging. Every edge of the box containing the wood parts was stiffened by a hard length of heavy laminated cardboard. Inside the box, every piece was wrapped in a lightweight shipping fabric to protect the finish, and there was a ton of tight fitting styrofoam holding everything together, with more of the stiffened laminated cardboard protecting the corners of the box from the inside. This box could have shot out of the shipping truck, completed two bounces on the interstate and been run over by a semi and the contents would have been flawless.

Third, I'm really impressed with the materials and the ease of assembly. Nice heavy pieces of actual wood, and those pieces that are made from pressboard are made from the very dense, heavy variety with nice laminate. We purchased the dark espresso finish, and its pretty much black with wood grain showing through, a little darker than we expected, but we are happy with it. Assembly instructions were clear, all necessary hardware was in the box, and it went together very easy with a phillips screwdriver.

Overall I'm very happy with this item, the fireplace looks great for an electric, and the furniture aspect meets exactly what we needed. Would definitely recommend.

This entertainment center is such a great piece of furniture with the electric fireplace. It took approx. 1 hour to assemble, my daughter & her husband put it together & everything worked perfectly. It is a real nice piece of furniture and looks great. The only part that took some time is to take each piece out of the large box 2 pieces were very heavy. Once I put all the pieces in the living room it took little time to put together. I would highly recommend this entertainment center.

Haier CPN14XC9 14K Portable Air Conditioner Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $599.00

I strongly caution anyone against purchasing a Haier product. Haier has far and away the worst customer service I have ever encountered. I purchased a Haier Portable Air Conditioner in July 2011. The unit was "dead on arrival," completely nonfunctional. When I called Haier customer support, I was instructed to make a service appointment.

Nearly four months later, after four separate visits from the servicer to my home, the unit remained as nonfunctional as when it first arrived. During this time, I spent countless hours on the phone with at least half a dozen Haier representatives, none of whom was even remotely helpful. Interacting with Haier's customer support was truly excruciating; I would rather jab a needle repeatedly into my eye than endure it again. Most agents were both incompetent and unsympathetic. In numerous instances, I was denied access to a supervisor, told instead I would have to wait for a call back, but never received one. On the rare occasion I was privileged to speak to a "supervisor," I quickly discovered that the person to whom I spoke had no authority or capacity to resolve my situation in any kind of satisfactory (much less expedient) manner. For all their ineptitude, the members of the Haier team have attained expert status when it comes to "passing the buck."

Following the second service visit, in September, I requested a refund, which Haier's corporate office rejected, without ever bothering to inquire about the circumstances which led me to make such a request in the first place, and without ever informing me of this decision, despite a stated policy of notification within 24 to 48 hours.

At the fourth service visit, in November, the repairman told me he intended to reorder parts which had already been replaced on a previous visit, as well as a power cord he knew was not actually broken. He was appropriately apologetic, but said that was the best he could offer me under Haier's warranty. He confided that these units are notoriously unreliable, and that he would advise against buying one.

Finally, after repeated calls (bordering, out of necessity, on badgering), I succeeded in submitting a formal complaint as well as a second refund request to a customer specialist from Haier's corporate office. Though this individual professed a strong desire to assist me, I remained skeptical of Haier's commitment to resolving the situation to my satisfaction, given that she immediately questioned whether a refund would be feasible, again citing the "terms of the warranty." Sure enough, a week later, I learned that my refund request had been denied again (though, on this go round, Haier was at least kind enough to inform me.) After a brief exchange with the Haier messenger revealed she had no knowledge of my specific case, I relented to a superior adversary and accepted Haier's ever-so-generous concession to process an exchange (provided, naturally, I could jump through a few more hoops and complete a shipping assignment at my own expense.) I look forward to receiving another broken product, which will sit in a state of partial disassembly on my living room floor for four more months while I patiently receive another parade of repairmen with six hour appointment windows.

Haier offers a captivating combination of shoddy craftsmanship and shameful customer service. It is my sincere hope that potential Haier customers will learn from my experience and avoid doing business with this company.

When I noticed this unit had only one star I figured I had to do something. I have owned several portable AC units and this one is by far the best. Before purchasing I read several reviews that were on the Costco site and the consensus was pretty much 50/50 so I was at first a little unsure. Believe me when I tell you that the dual hose design is far superior. I will never buy a single hose unit again after owning this one. My only complaint is that the drain plug is a real hassle to remove if you want to drain the water. I may try a little soap on that. Haier makes several models that look like this one but don't be fooled. This is the model you want. I wonder if the other reviewer was mistaking this for another model that looked the same or maybe New York weather is far worse. In any case this unit couldn't work better in the Pacific Northwest.

Best Deals for Haier CPN14XC9 14K Portable Air Conditioner

If you read up on the differences between a single hose design vs a dual hose design there are several advantages to a dual hose vs a single hose. In a single hose design your indoor air is pulled through the system to cool the compressor and vented out the exhaust hose. This creates a negative pressure in your house and pulls more hot air inside your home which then has to be cooled... this makes a fairly significant difference in how effective these portable A/C units are.

With a dual hose design there is an intake hose pulling outside air through the unit to cool the compressor and then exhausted back out which does not create the negative pressure in your home...

Here is where this Haier unit is a big fat lie. The intake hose is almost cosmetic. It does in fact pull some air through this hose but there is a very large venting grate on the side of the unit that is exposed to the air in your room thus pulling air through this vent and only a portion through the intake hose which effectively defeats the entire purpose of a dual hose. If you have the intake hose hooked up and the unit is not running hot air just pours into the hose and heats up your room.

Point is... if you're looking for a dual hose you'll have to modify this one to actually make it work as one (probably going to void any warranty), if you want a single hose you might just want to get a smaller unit than this "dual" hose.

7/23, update.

The unit really does work pretty well (again, noting is really is a single hose design unless you choose to block off the air intake grate I've mentioned) The unit is fairly loud (it's an A/C...not surprised) and the display is a very bright blue which can be irritating at night. The unit does build up water in the collection tank but I only need to empty it maybe once every 2 weeks and I only run the unit about 4 hours most night... (I live in Utah so the humidity levels are fairly low) I bought the unit refurbished and for the price I paid I'm pretty happy so far. Changing my review from 2 stars to 3...

Honest reviews on Haier CPN14XC9 14K Portable Air Conditioner

I have owned this same unit for almost 3 years now. I bought it from Costco for around $325 then, and we have used it non-stop for two summers. it keeps our downstairs (around 1,100 square feet) FRIGID. All of these negative comments make me think i must have got a winner out of a big batch of losers, or all of these people expect a "central-air experience" from a $300 portable unit.

It beats the hell out of any window unit i've owned in the past

It is a bit heavy and awkward to carry, but luckily that only needs to happen twice a year; once to put it in the house, and once again to put it back in the garage. Also, it has wheels! We roll ours around even with it attached to the window since the hoses flex.

I love this A/C unit, and recommend it all the time. If you're hot, get one

I had this unit for a few months and used it three times. It works ok but does not cool the amount of space that is referenced in the paperwork. The fourth time it was running and suddenly stopped. The circuit breaker in the power cord popped and couldn't be reset. I tried to order a new power cord but it's been on backorder for 6 months now. Needless to say now the warranty is up so I have to buy the cord which is about 65-70 bucks. The part is nowhere to be found so the unit is useless. The company is no help, the part was supposed to be available months ago but is still not available. Don't buy this or you'll be stuck with a useless large plastic cabinet that does nothing.

I don't know about you,

but I have cold feet.

Like almost always.

The dress code at work also makes it a bit hard to keep my feet warm. Dress shoes, nylons, and yes...a dress.

One day while talking to a fellow cold-footed friend, she mentioned that we could use Cozy Legs Heaters. She showed me hers, discreetly tucked under her desk, and explained how they worked. Who knew these wonderful inventions even existed? Boy, had I been missing out.

Cozy Legs Heaters are safer, more cost-efficient, energy-efficient, and do the trick for small spaces, especially in an office setting. Mine sits under my desk about 8 to 12 inches from my legs. It provides an even, warm, radiant heat that is just right to keep me warm, but not hot. After turning it on, I notice my feet and legs warming up in just a few minutes. I also like that it is quiet. There is no noise from a fan. love it! It was exactly what I was looking for and I no longer have cold feet at work!

I would say these heaters are ideal for under your desk either at home or at work. If you are looking to heat an entire room, you may want to look for more traditional space heaters.

When I saw this heater at the store a couple of years ago, I loved the idea of it. But when I went home and looked at our setup, I saw no space between the umbrella pole and the hole in the table to fit the cord, so I let it go. Then I recently received this as a gift. I was concerned about how I'd hook it up, but it was worth trying since we have some chilly evenings where we like to still sit outside. It was QUITE an adventure to get it set up. Our umbrella pole is a full 2" diameter....the max you can have with this heater. And the cord is t-h-i-c-k. It wouldn't fit in the tiny space left as the pole went thru the table hole so I had to rout out a groove in the wood umbrella pole so it would have a place to rest and not be pinched. Then there was the rest of the cord issues. The cord is only about 8-9' long and the instructions say to not use this with an extension cord. OK----good luck with that. Unless you have an outlet right under your table, that's not gonna happen. The the bigger issue at hand was the plug on the end of the cord. It's HUGE. So big, it would not fit thru the hole in our patio table. There's nothing unusual about our patio table. The hole looks completely standard, but this plug with it's GFI Test buttons and all would not fit through. So we started to dismantle it. In the end, we had to remove the wiring from the cord completely, then slip the cord thru the hole, then rewire it. So as not to have a 14G extension cord running along our deck, we wired it directly with 120 standard home wire underneath the deck, then connected the big plug at the other end right by the outlet. You wouldn't have to do that, but we did since we had the cord apart anyway. All's well right? It lights up....it heats....it has good ambiance....and then we had a rain storm. The heater is under the umbrella, but with heavy rain that umbrella will start to leak water. I wonder if the heater is waterproof??? NOOOOOOOOOO. The instructions clearly say that it cannot get wet. Water can't drip into the heater blades or the center motor. What the? This is supposed to be for the outdoors!! And now that our heater is unremovable from the umbrella cuz we'd have to dismantle the big plug again, we can't just take it in the house. For the immediate storm, I covered each blade with plastic bags, but the center motor was still exposed. For the long run, I sewed up a permanent cover for the heater out of some old patio cover fabric I had from another project. But you would think this would have been designed to take a little moisture without issue. Big design flaw in my opinion which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I otherwise love the heater in operation and the soft light is nice at night.

The item was smaller than it appeared (yes I read the measurements). It's all press board. About 10% of the holes were not totally complete or slightly off center. The door panels have clear plastic not glass. The fire looks far less realistic than hoped. The fan is a bit noisy. Basically it is worth about $125 at best (being generous). I would not recommend this product.
