Discount Personal Mini Fridge Cooler / Warmer BLACK

Customer Ratings:

I thought that this would be a good gift for my brother-in-law's home office. He always likes a cool drink at hand. First of all I didn't particularly care about the condition when it arrived. It definitely didn't look new with a number of fingernail scratches on the top in the handle area although the box it came in seemed unmolested and the packing seemed original. The black finish also looked hazy. This product is also billed as an "office" cooler but the inside caution sheet said that it had to be turned off after a few hours "or damage will occur". Their description here at Amazon says 10 hours but I don't recall seeing that when I ordered this as a Christmas gift. So you have to babysit this thing all day to make sure it doesn't die? Not much of a "office" cooler. It is also a bit noisy with the fan in the back being loud. It uses the same fan as your average computer case so you'd think it would be about as loud as that. But it's louder.

Overall, I wouldn't do this product again for what I intended, keeping drinks cool at the office. Maybe for the car or something but it's really kind of stupid design for that use.

Unbelievable. My wife and I needed something on the same floor as our baby's room. And then after about 3 months of use, IT CAUGHT ON FIRE!!! We had a dinner party and I smelled smoke! It was just about to burst into flames and I caught it. It made some kind of high-pitched buzzing noise and then lit up like a fuse. Good thing it was 6P in the afternoon! Craziness. And the sh-t is made in China, so good luck getting a refund.

They don't make it very clear, but there IS a time limit on this mini fridge. It says in Amazon's listing that you can't run it for more than 10 hours or "damage may occur." It should be made more obvious in the packaging and labeling that you can only use it for short times. I think 10 hours is being generous, since performance seems to slow earlier than that. Works okay for very short times, but that's all.

Honest reviews on Personal Mini Fridge Cooler / Warmer BLACK

Although it is exactly the size as advertised, I was a bit surprised at how small it was. I wanted something a bit bigger. However, I am finding I prefer its small stature. It is perfect for use in my office as it fits nearly anywhere and also great for travel, which I do quite frequently. It keeps my son's milk cold enough, which is why I purchased it. I have not yet used the heating feature. Just be careful: the black box on the cord can get hot.

Discount Honeywell Ceramic Surround Heater (HZ-435)

Customer Ratings:

I bought this heater in November 2012. It's run well for the most part. But it has some problems, which I've listed below.

The most recent problem, described below, was severe enough that I decided to return or exchange it. It was supposed to be warrantied for a year, so I dug up the receipt, only to find that although the warrantee was good for a year, the receipt had expired! Which makes the "warranty" worthless. (My mistake, I bought it from Target, a store with a terrible return policy.) (This is Target's fault of course, not the manufacturer's). I could send it back to the manufacturer, but the postage would cost almost as much as the heater.

Summing things up:

1) WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS HEATER:

* It heats effectively. I don't know how it would do in a huge room, but it heats my small living room quickly and effectively, even on low. It's 49 degrees outside tonight, cold and windy, but toasty (over 74 degrees) in my living room. I'm sitting on my couch in the buff typing this. (The heater's been on for three hours, on low.) I'm getting spoiled by the very pleasant warmth the heater produces.

* The fan distributes the heat well.

* It's lightweight and easy to move around.

* It has a safety feature designed to turn it off it it tips over.

* An interesting feature is that you can set this heater to warm up the whole room, including the area behind it or just the 180 degrees in front. (When you set it for 360 degrees, the fan blows out of both the front and back).) Either way it heats the whole room in short order, especially a small room. Electric heaters really have improved over the years. Ceramic electric heaters in particular are nice for heating up a room quickly and evenly.

2) WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT THIS HEATER:

* It's really not an attractive design, and I don't think most people would want it in their living space. It would look better in a shop or garage than in a nice living room.

* The box says it's a Honeywell heater, which is part of why I bought it, but in reality, it's made by a smaller company. When I called Honeywell trying to register the purchase and warranty, I was told that they had nothing to do with it, they had not manufactured it, they were just leasing their brand name to this company to use. They gave me the other company's number and hung up. They made it clear that Honeywell does NOT stand behind it and won't help if it has problems.

* It has thermostat and timer problems. Some of them are pretty bad, i.e.:

* When I set it on timer, sometimes it acts like it's on thermostat and starts turning on and off randomly (and loudly), every few seconds. (Other times it seems fine, and doesn't do this.)

* When I set it thermostat, it's supposed to stop when the room reaches the desired temperature, but it doesn't always do so; sometimes it keeps right on heating, so the room might get up to 80 degrees when I've set the thermostat for 71 degrees. So I'd be cautious about using it as a heater in a child's bedroom.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The 2011 version of this heater was recalled. If the date stamp on the metal prongs where you plug it in end in 11, do not use it, It's defective.

Review of 10,000 BTU AC w/ Heater By Sunpentown

Customer Ratings:

Knocking off 1 star because it only has 1 exhaust path (so it pumps the "inside air" outside as it runs). Some find that "more aesthetic", but I find that it causes drafts around the edges of the sunroom that are the outside temp.

But other than that, it seems to be rock solid, even after twising it around so we could install it in an electric VW Cabriolet!

Draws 10A @ 120V, so it's easily powered, and it does a good job at protecting itself (it won't let the compressor cycle on/off faster than 5 minutes -so if you flip from Cool to Heat, expect some delays). Bonus that the water runs from the Evaporator to the Condenser; this improves is performance mesurably.

The LED displays flicker, but meh... they work, and the unit brings 90F air down to 70F, so it'll do nicely for blowing cool or hot air (60F-> 110F)at you. I wouldn't count on it for a house, but for a cool breeze in a sunroom, it fits the bill nicely.

Review of Bionaire Twin Ceramic Heater, 1500W, Black

Customer Ratings:

Picked one up from Walmart, its very simple and easy to use, with directional heat. The fan isn't too loud, but when it turns on when in auto mode, it has a pronounced click. Having a digital temperature setting is good, but I don't think it actually monitors correctly. Close enough to keep us warm at night while not running constantly. Mine actually has the add on swivel base (Model BCH4175-WM1-115) which operates silent and smooth. I recommend the swivel one if you can find one.

Circulon Infinite Portable Tabletop Induction Cooker Review

Customer Ratings:

[UPDATE TO THE REVIEW BELOW after using the cooker about 10 times (10 hours over a 5 month period) it has quit working. The fan runs and the display indicates all is well, but no heat is generated in the pot (and yes, it is an induction-compatible pot).]

ORIGINAL REVIEW: I couldn't find the power rating of this device anywhere on the web. I decided to risk buying it because the device looked well thought-out. The label on the underside rates it at 1500 Watts max. I measured around 1430 Watts (active power) and around 1530 VA (apparent power) using a Kill-A-Watt meter with the burner running at max power. It has 9 power settings down to a 100 W simmer.

In a large-diameter pan it brought 2 qts of water from room temperature to a boil in 10 minutes. Based on the pattern of the boiling activity the device seems to have an active heating area 5-6 inches in diameter, which is consistent with the recommended minimum pot diameter of 5 inches.

The 3-star rating is due to the small diameter of the active heating area. I bought this thing in part to cook down garden produce like tomatoes in broad shallow pans prior to freezing or canning, and it doesn't seem very good for that. I'm used to cooking with gas, and a gas burner spreads the heat across the bottom of the pan (much of it escaping around the sides, unfortunately). The induction burner focuses the heat much more precisely, so if you cook in smaller diameter pans it may suit you well. BTW, it has a fan that is not exactly whisper quiet but wouldn't bother me.

When I received an unpacked the cooker it was pretty much what I expected: Beautiful design, reasonable craftsmanship. The plastic bottom seemed a little bit cheap, the pull-out controls a bit flimsy but from there to the top: very nice, nothing to complain about.

Now, let's put the thing to work. First disappointment: It has no power switch. Yes, it's nice to see the word "circulon" lit up in red but the on/off switch does not turn the unit off completely, you have to pull the plug.

The next surprise came when I put it to use: Oh my, what a noise! Yes, I expected the buzzing sound typical for some induction cookers, but this cooker has a cooling fan that runs constantly and produces a noise level somewhere between a mixer and a modern hair dryer. All the time. No, it's not thermostat-controlled. Imagine using the nice temperature-hold functionality (which could do with a few more levels) holding the proper temperature while preparing a pot roast: You probably will feel like three hours under a hair dryer in a hair saloon.

Bottom line: Beautiful, fascinating, effective and so noisy that I sent it back the next day.

I had this burner for 6 months and just about completely stopped using the burners on my stove, but after 6 months the little thing that pops out in the front broke. (See the picture, this is where the controls are located and the screen tells you what the settings are.) First the screen went blank so you couldn't tell what the settings were and then about 2 weeks later, it quit working all together. Maybe something in the way we were using it caused it to break. I'm buying a different induction burner today with a different design (not one with little pop out controls).

Honest reviews on Circulon Infinite Portable Tabletop Induction Cooker

I've used two other portable induction burners, but this one has some great extra features: A detailed instruction book is the first great help. At 1500w, it has power to boil & fry very quicklya real time-saver. It's wider diameter allows use of 12 and 14 inch skillets in addition to smaller ones. The "Hold" temperature feature was what I selected this model for and does it deliver! I can set a constant temperature to cook, for instance, pancakes or steaks without burning them. No electric griddle needed. The Circulon Infinite 6qt Saute Pan I got to use with it has become my favorite cookpan. The Gift with purchase is an awesome value as well. This is a great induction burner to start with and keep!

I have checked out the unit to find that it works the way it was advertised

5 inch working unit in about 12 inch surface, and heats up the "magnet-sticking" cookwares fast.

I am not sure how many times it is going to work since I only tried it once at a store.

Best price seems to be $99.95 at Crate and Barrel (+shipping around $10~$15)

Too delicately designed for my taste that I did not purchase the item. If there will be a sturdier model with larger surface, I would buy it. Until then, I will do the fast boiling in my Chef's Choice tea kettle, fast braising in my pressure cooker, travel cooking on my travel butain burner, and slow cooking in my Crock-Pot slow cooker.

Works like a charm.

Connect the Heat Mat monitor's power cord into the wall, then connect the seedling heat mat's power cord into the monitor.

To set the degrees is very easy. Hold down the button "SET" until the numbers are blinking. Then using the up and down arrows, set the desired temperature then press the "SET" button again to stop the blinking. Also press down the "UP" button for 6 seconds for readings in Fahrenheit or hold down the "DOWN" button for 6 seconds for readings in Celsius.

There is a little wire with a plastic white tip that hangs from the monitor.

Push the white part into the soil for temperature reading.(Once temperature is set, do not be alarmed when your heat mat reaches its maximum temperature you set it to then the Heat Mat monitor temperature will go up and down 3 degrees to prevent over heating)

This is very helpful for starting seeds.

I am using this mat to keep a constant temperature on my Kombucha brew. Using a standard heating pad, this theromstat does the job. I'm very pleased with it. I can keep the temperature at 79 degrees and not have to have a heating pad constantly on. Keep the suction cup clean so it doesn't pop off the glass and a thermometer handy to monitor the temperature.

Best Deals for Hydrofarm MTPRTC Digital Thermostat For Heat Mats

Just like a few other reviewers on here, I bought these for my under tank heaters on my two python tanks. They are very, very effective at regulating the temperatures accurately. I compare the temps on this product with my digital thermometers and they work great.

A few things some people would like to know:

These are set it and forget it thermostats. You put in the maximum temp (i.e, 90 or 92) degrees and this thermostat will automatically kick on if the temp gets 2 degrees less (88 or 90 degrees respectively). This means you are not going to get too much variation in the warm spot hide which is a great thing but you CAN NOT change this variance. I don't see a real reason you need to though.

The probe cables are perfect length and since they are designed for soil applications, they can be buried in substrate. They also have a suction cup if you need to monitor ambient air instead.

TIP: Though some people say you should bury the probe and it should make have DIRECT contact with the UTH, I tried this out and I didn't like it. I am more concerned with the overall micro-climate in the hide or on the surface of the substrate so I just let it lay level with the substrate. That way, if the snake is colder than usual, they will coil in the hide and will give the thermostats a reading that is cooler than the actual temperature. This means the UTH will kick on a little longer than normal and warm the snake back up to a nice temperature.

These thermostats are very heavy duty and can handle a large electrical load (1000 watts). Since most undertank heaters are 24 watts or less, you can definitely use this stat with multiple tank heaters. It has a three-prong connector on it and heavy-duty power cords/connectors.

There isn't a reason you can't use this with visible light heaters but I would imagine it would be annoying to have the constant on/off. Use it with ceramic heaters or heat tamp instead. For the visible light heaters, use a dimmer or proportional thermostat. The same goes for incubators. Get a proportional thermostat for your incub.

PS. Gave it 4/5 stars because it's not a proportional thermostat, but for the money you know what you're getting! Definitely recommend!!!

This was just what I needed to keep my seed soil at a proper warmth to promote growth. When used in conhuction of a seedling heating pad, it makes growing from seeds a snap. It was easily set-up and easy to adjust as I added different types of seeds. It kept the seeding tray at a constant 81-86 degrees until my peppers had sprouted. Later it kept it at around 75 degrees. The click it makes when coming on and turning off is quiet and no disturbing to the conversation.

I've used quite a few thermostats in my day, to include those specific for snakes that come from Big Apple Herps, etc. But this little digital thermostat is unbeatable for the price and what it does. I've calibrated it with two different, stand alone thermometers and it's been within 1.5 degrees at all times, and usually closer. For basic UTH use I haven't seen one yet that can match it for the price. I've already ordered 2 more and I've only been using them a short while. The true test will be in how long it holds up...if it does this is a secret ZooMed, Big Apple, Zilla, etc. don't want you to know about or else they will have to re-market some of their thermostats at this price range! It's designed for fish tanks but works great in a dry environment as well. I use it with two different UTHs and it handles both well.

I only keep Eastern and Florida Kings now (with an occasional stray herp. I flip from a development site until I can get it a home) so it's range of function from 68 to 108 degrees is just right for my collection; the unit will shut off automatically if the heat gets about 108 degrees. Unless you get a defective unit this is pretty much idiot-proof.

Again, great product for a great price if it fits your needs.

Reviews of Candle Warmers Etc. Ceramic Candle Warmer Crock

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this because I was trying to go flame-less with my large-jar Yankee candles and do so quicker than standard warming plates, which take quite a while to melt such a candle. Well, this fit the bill alright. Within 15 minutes you can smell the candle wonderfully. A short while later, the whole jar is liquid. All that is great, but...

The very thing I wanted, speedy flame-less fragrance for an extended period of time, is also the main downside. It activates *all* the fragrance in the candle at all times. So, what you get is a strong fragrance for a much shorter period of time. Whereas a large jar Yankee candle will last a good 125+ hours, I got about 15 (yes, fifteen) hours of strong fragrance, which quickly declined thereafter until all I had was a jar of wax.

Since there's no temperature control, there's no way to prolong the candle life. After two candles, I no longer use the warmer. I gave it three stars because it does exactly what it claims and is definitely a great candle warmer. I suppose I should have foreseen the outcome as, in hindsight, it is clear that a full jar warmer would heat the entire contents at all times.

Two parting notes:

1) This would be great for using every last ounce of candle. The remnants that don't get burned via wick could be used in the warmer, but a little overkill.

2) Once you melt a candle in the warmer, the wick drops to the bottom when liquefied. Thus, it's a one-way road as you won't be able to burn the candle again.

Hope this helps.

I've had this warmer for about 6 months now, keeping it on almost 24/7, and it is still working great! I do recommend buying a bunch of Yankee votives (you can get them for $1 if you buy on sale) and I change out my votive daily. Whatever candle you put in the warmer will scent your home for a good 15-18 hours straight, whether it's a votive or larger jar candle. Votives are cheaper and you can change your scent daily (a big jar will still only last about 18 hours in this warmer) The warmer melts quickly, and starts releasing fragrance in about 3-5minutes (with a votive) I have a total of 2 in my home, we have an open floor plan and I put one in my living area, and one on my second floor It comfortably fragrances my whole home (I can even smell in the bathrooms) Just a note though: I tried putting in cheaper brand of votive, and soy votives the fragrance was a LOT more subtle and it only lasted about 6 hours.

UPDATE a year later and my warmers are still going strong on almost daily 24/7 :)

This is a little different way to make your room smell nice without having to light a candle. This warmer works best with the large candles, but even after many uses, the candle is still up to the top and it still smells very good. Each candle will last much longer than if you were burning the candle. There is no fear of a fire and no black soot on the ceiling or under the cabinets.

Honest reviews on Candle Warmers Etc. Ceramic Candle Warmer Crock

I purchased this warmer for a blind friend who loves her home filled with scents. The rolling "on-off" switch just a few inches down on the cord from the actual burner was a good feature for her. The unit seemed to heat up very quickly.

One of the major candle stores said they did NOT suggest this product because they've heard that the units get so hot that the jars surrounding the candles cracked. They further stated that the breaking occurs because even though the candle glass is tempered, they were designed to heat up from the center of the candle outward...so when we try to use these warmers there could be issues.

What I first did upon feeling the amount of heat generated was to roll up a square of tin foil to make a long curled snake to put under the candle jar so it wasn't in direct contact with the heater; still plenty of heat to melt the wax and give off the scent but not enough heat to crack the jar. There was a tiny space between the jar and the sides and I wasn't too concerned about too much hear from direct contact... So far so good, the true test of time will tell all.

Been looking for just the right candle warmer for a long time. This one is perfect for my preferences, which was a crock-pot style big enough to hold larger jar candles and didn't have a light in the base. Even when the melted wax has lost its scent, just add any liquid 'essence' and keep going. Hoping the warmer will last a long time.

We purchased this to use in our screen porch as we didn't know if a propane based firepit would be safe. The Gel based fire bowl works great and as promised. The delivery only took a couple of days and the setup took about 5 min. We tested our new firebowl tonight and it was very simple to operate. We poured the gel into the two compartments and lit each side using a bic scripto lighter and the gel lit up instantly and created a very nice flame and crackle. We used one 29 oz bottle total split between the two sides and got approx 2 hours of burn. The firebowl looks great and works very well. The flames are not huge or create much for heat, but definitely create a nice "ambiance" fire for sitting around with friends or family. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing, no hassle fire in an area that doesn't allow for a wood or propane based fire.

I have a smaller patio where propane and wood burning not allowed, this fire bowl fit perfectly. When the bowl was filled with gel and lit, it threw off some heat but this fire bowl is meant for ambiance. This made the fall weather much more enjoyable! Just remember to measure the gel fuel according to how long you want the fire to burn. If you have to put it out early, the remaining gel is useless and won't re-light. The gel fuel bottles last a long time, we've used it several times and have barely gone through two bottles.

Honest reviews on Real Flame Hampton Fire Bowl

We've been wanting a fire pit for some time now but were hesitant due to the possibility of sparks from a wood fire. This fire bowl is a great substitute. It sets up very easily (just three screws) and looks really nice. The fire it produces crackles just like a wood fire and produces a little heat (although that was not our reason for purchasing it). It makes for a nice gathering spot. It is also very nice that it comes with a cover which fits perfectly. Only negatives: there were no instructions in the box; screws were too short and had to be replaced with our own; even though it's Amazon Prime eligible, it took a week to arrive (the fine print says it may take 1-2 extra days, but it was more like 5). The "grey" color is really more of a tan, but it looks like stone and that wasn't a deal breaker.

First off, those rocks sit on a tray on the top. The majority of the bowl is empty. So I ask, why is this $200? Maybe all materials cost $80 tops.

Biggest issue though is the fuel. It's a gel and it's sold in a can. Pouring it in ends up with gobs of the gel on the rocks and not the little wells it needs to go into. Then one can lasts maybe 20 mins. So save money and use %70 alcohol instead.

I purchased this heater to heat a 25X25 uninsulated garage in Maine in the winter (2012-13) while doing some remolding in the house. I needed to set up a workshop in the garage to do table saw, router, and sanding type work. This heater managed to keep the garage at or above 55 degrees on even the coldest days, some of which were at or near zero. It is easy to start, not as noisy as some forced air heaters I've heard on other job sites (although it still sounds like a jet engine), and remarkably efficient. I was using a standard 25 lb. propane tank and I honestly don't know how long they lasted because I wasn't the only one changing them. But I do know it was something north of 8 hours. There really was no downside to this unit with the exception that there was a "propane-ish" smell almost all the time. At first I was concerned that it was uncombusted propane, but after a day or so, I realized it was just the normal smell that comes with an open gas flame, which is essential what all heaters of this type do.

This heater is fine IF you want only one speed fan that is LOUD!! The product information specifies that is has "VARIABLE HEAT SETTINGS". IT DOES NOT! I had it in 2 car garage and could not stand to work with it in there. I could hear it from inside the house! I had to return and pay for shipping both ways which I should not have to do since it is FALSELY advertised. It is the first time I have had to return any product purchased from Amazon (and I buy a lot!). Perhaps they meant to say that the angle setting is variable, but the HEAT output is not! This works well and if you have a bigger space maybe and don't mind a roaring blower then this is for you!

UPDATE: I returned the item and was refunded by the seller plus return shipping. The seller informs me that Amazon controls the listing and that they are unable to change the listing to single speed. BUT they said they pulled the product listing to avoid confusion. I have revised my rating based on the fact that the seller refunded my money.

I am a popcorn lover, and I like this machine

Pros:

8 oz Size

-Makes enough popcorn for 3 to 4 people. Using 8oz popcorn packs, it makes awesome popcorn, and a lot of it.

Features

-I like the heating element underneath to keep the popcorn hot, not sure if this is a standard feature, but I like it. The old maid drawer is pretty big.

Looks

-I like the skyline look on the glass. The black on top matches the stainless steel.

Cons:

Steel

-The Metal seems a little flimsy, and it was delivered with bent metal right where the old maid drawer is, but that was fixed with a pliers. The pin to keep the kennel in place had one hole drilled bad. The flip out bottom door is also thin and flimsy.

Looks

-The metal "vent" on top is just paint, and the icons for the switches are funky and unpolished.

Glass

-One of the doors was not straight. I tried to fix it my adjusting the hinges, but nothing helped. The one is good, but the other one is offset from the other and is harder to close than the good one.

Overall:

It works well, looks good, but it seems a little flimsy and the door problem made it lose a few points. The entire machine was packaged well, with no assembly. It did take about 5 days to ship, but it got to my house in 2 days. If you do not use premeasured packets with this machine, make sure you use atleast 1 TBSP of oil per 1/2 cup of popcorn. The manual says to use only 1 TBSP, but a cup of popcorn will not pop well with only that much. The door does say the correct amount. The scoop that comes with it is kind of small, but it works. I would recommend this machine to people who want a 8 oz popcorn popper.

Best Deals for Great Northern Popcorn 6255 Pop Frenzy Self Contained Popper

I purchased this popcorn popper to help with making popcorn for my school on Fridays. I loved the general styling, espcially the stainless parts. The machine is easy to use, but I had a major problem with the kettle. The part where the kettle is welded to the swinging hinge actually FELL OFF after JUST 3 HOURS of use. I called Great Northern and they immediately offered to return it, no problem. Decided to purchase the next one up-the 12oz. commercial one.

Honest reviews on Great Northern Popcorn 6255 Pop Frenzy Self Contained Popper

I got the machine on Feb 9, 2012 and tried popping some corn immediately. Setup was very easy. The first time I used it, it took almost 12 minutes to pop 8 oz of corn which is not what is stated on the manual. I emailed Great Northern that night and got a response the very same night. The support was great and very responsive. I had to return the kettle for check up which turned out to be a defective thermostat. It was repaired and returned to me. We are very happy with the purchase and kids love the popcorn we are producing. On Saturday nights, we serve popcorn to 50 kids and so far the popcorn machine is able to handle the load.

I did a fair amount of research before purchasing and believe this to be a good product. It has served well. Easy to use. Clean up is not as easy as I would like but not bad. There is a ridge along the inside bottom that is hard to clean and the kettle can be. Have found the vinegar works great for cleaning kettle. Would like a bigger one for what we do but for small groups will work wonders.

Added a new sunroom to my house 12x28 with 10 ft ceilings. I installed the unit all my self. The 13 ft lines that come with the unit are just perfect in length. I installed the copper lines in the wall before they were sealed up so they would not be running down the outside of the wall so ugly. I found the directions to be pretty good that came with the unit. I did have the lines vaccumed down before I turned it on and opened the valves. The HVAC guy that came and did that for me charged 79.00. I called the HVAC company that I use for my regular house units and told them I needeed them to come check out one of my units. That I thought one might need a checkup. In a checkup they would come out and check the freeon, filter, etc and that sort so it was just fine to check this Pioneer unit for the checkup.

I will say take your time and plan it out slowly before you install.

I am very pleased with this unit.

It was pretty easy to put up its heavy so it takes at least two people to hang the inside and the outside unit. So far so good. I really hope it works good.

Review of Holmes HFHVP3 1200 watt Compact Heater Fan 2-Pack

Customer Ratings:

I bought these for our tiny downstairs bathroom in our condo in the mountains, where it gets extremely cold because there is no heating vent in the bathroom. These little heaters really put out the heat, are quiet, and the small footprint enabled me to fit it in the corner of countertop right behind the sink, which works great because a)it warms your hands when you wash them and b) that is where the plug is. All the other room heaters I looked at were just too big, too expensive, or both. I really only needed one of these but because they were so inexpensive for two I got them and now have an extra for other cold spots. The thermostat is great too, you just heat the room to desired temp on high, then lower the dial and it will keep the room at desired temperature. This bathroom is getting a lot more use now.

Bought these primarily for bathroom that was cold. Thought would save other one for backup. One puts out enough heat for the bathroom and my bedroom. Put the other in my sons' room. Got so hot in there my son wanted to turn on A/C. Been in the 20's and 30's @ night and still have not turned on furnace. Bought a larger heater for my living room. I am so happy with these, I am buying more for backups. I only paid $9 for both on clearance and will gladly pay more for the second set. My electric bill has fallen drastically. But be careful. Cannot put these on same circuit. It WILL trip your breakers if you put on same circuit.

They don't take up much room and are easy to move from room to room. They don't put out a blast of heat just enough to take the edge off if you're close to them. One good thing about them is that they don't use as much power as other heaters. This is helpful in my old apartment building where the wiring isn't really designed to support a lot of modern appliances at the same time.

Honest reviews on Holmes HFHVP3 1200 watt Compact Heater Fan 2-Pack

I thought I was getting a deal when I bought two fans for 31.00 however the heating fans are the exact same price at target. My dog has knocked them both down and they stop working afterwards. I wait an hour and plug them in and they work majically again. The heat they produce works fine in my 1000 square foot house but are most definately not top quality. The heat that is produced cannot be felt no further than 5 ft. from the fan itself. It does have a thermostat but does not work unless u move it til it cuts off them move it about one milimeter til it cuts back on and it will eventually cut off once the room reaches 75 degrees. That is the only way I have gotten the thermastat to actually cut the heating fan off. When cutting it on and off I hear a metal scrubbing sound but it stops once the fan speeds up. All in all I have two fans that work for now I've had them 2 months and I don't see them lasting years like other quality products that may not even be made anymore. The fact that they are only 1200 watts a piece makes it a little better

These two littler heaters, are a great deal. I took one to work, my office is so cold and at times feels like the ac is on instead of the heat. You regulate tempeature by the dial on top, turn the dial until the unit starts to blow the heat out or turn the dail back down until it stops. The unit is very quite. The second one is for my bathroom which is now warm and comfortable when I get out of the shower. These are ideal for small spaces. I do recommend for safety, to unplug the heater when not in use because it doesn't have an on/off switch. Turning the dial until it either turns the unit on or off is not the same as an actual on/off switch. Think about it, when the room cools below the setting it will turn on and start running and you may not want that to happen. Unplug when not in use.
