SpeedHeat Rugbuddy 370 Under Rug Space Heater, 5' X 7' Review

Customer Ratings:

I bought one of these early in the year & it has been a blessing in my old, drafty, under-insulated house. I don't need to crank up the expensive gas heating, but I stay nice & warm in my family room now. I am saving up to buy 2 more in smaller sizes for other rooms. The increase in my electric bill has been slight, but the decrease in my gas bill has been noticeable!

Plus my older cat loves it too! She just lays right down & goes to sleep!

We bought our first rug buddy (5x7) for our baby's nursery and love it! It keeps his room warm (with a programmable outlet thermostat we also ordered) while we can keep our bedroom and the rest of the house cool. We loved it so much we bought a second one for our drafty living room. Guests always comment on how great it feels!

This has saved my life. I live in a split-level house, and my entry levels are always too cold while my upstairs are always too hot. Speedheat has saved me by allowing me to just heat one room at a time...and you don't have to rip up your floors to use it either! just throw it under a rug, plug it in, and go!

I have a large room on a lower floor that is always freezing. The mats really help. They do the job unless it's really cold and then I need a space heater as well. But it does a great job and exactly what I was looking for, I have 2 under a big rug.

Discount Dimplex DFI2310 Electric Fireplace Deluxe 23-Inch Insert, Black

List Price: $299.99
Sale Price: $299.00

It looks amazingly like a real wood fire in our fireplace. It's easy to install, as long as your fire box is big enough, and you have a nearby electrical outlet. This "deluxe" model DFI2310 differs from the standard model DFI2309 by having a larger, brighter, even more realistic flame, for a somewhat higher price. The heaters can be turned off completely, for when it's warm, but you want that cozy fireplace ambiance.

On the "needs improvement" end, the remote control only turns the insert on and off; it does not control the optional heating elements, which can only be turned on or off at the unit itself. Mine arrived with all switches "on" so I got heat as soon as it was plugged in. It would be better to ship with all switches set to "off."

Also, there's no crackle or pop sound, so if wood fire sounds are important to you, this is not the electrical insert for you. However, if crackles and pops aren't that important to you, and you're looking for a very realistic looking, reasonably-priced unit with heating options, this is one well worth considering.

I'm writing this review because of how helpful I found other reviews before buying this fireplace. I did my homework, reading some 150+ reviews and watching Youtube videos of people's Dimplex fireplaces, before deciding on this model and it paid off! This is probably the best electric fireplace out there for the money (if there's a better one I can't afford it anyway!) I very happy with it and everyone who comes to my house thinks it looks very real (they all knew I bought a fake one so I'm still waiting to "fool" someone who doesn't know!) CSN (the company that provides the fireplace) has the BEST customer service dept to call. Whenever I called, I got someone different and they were ALL very nice and helpful.

The fireplace flames look as real as you can get, so real sometimes you think you hear crackling! It does make a slight whirring kind of sound (motor?) but you can only hear it in a quiet room (no TV, etc) and only if you're really listening for it. But it is an electric product so I guess you can expect SOME kind of sound to come from it! Like I said, it's very faint.

Overall, I'm very pleased. I used to use about 10 candles in my fake fireplace and always worried I'd start the house on fire and had to deal with dripping, etc. so it's nice not to have that worry anymore! The logs look very realistic (this model has the ceramic logs, not the styrofoam ones) and I don't know how they do it but it's pretty cool the way they make the flames (there's nothing you can "stick your hand in to see if it's real", it's done with a mirror somehow). Plus, don't be put off by other reviews that say they don't like the "half moon" effect on the background. I was worried about that but when I got it, it looked perfectly realistic to me! I've tried the heater to make sure it works, but it's still hot in Florida so I won't be using it for a while! It seems to work great, I just can't tell you how well it heats up a room at this point because it's not cold outside! I had no problem with the cord but then my outlet is next to my fireplace.

I checked out the fireplaces at the home stores and their flames looked so fakey compared to this one's and they were the same price or more. So trust me, I did my homework and researched to get the best at the best price, so you can trust my review!

1/12/11 update: I've had this fireplace for a few months now and absolutely love it! Everyone who comes over thinks its real! As for the heat, well, it's been pretty cold here in Florida and I have to say, you really can only feel the heat if you're standing right in front of the fireplace! It may "warm" the room up a bit, but if you're sitting on the floor in the room you can't really feel it blowing on you. It sort of blows up and out instead of directly forward and I don't know if this makes a difference or not. It's still a heat source but I use my central heater (mostly because I just had to buy a new one last year and it works great) the majority of the time.

9/02/13 update! I STILL LOVE this fireplace!! It's incredibly realistic and fools a lot of people who come to visit! The bulbs finally burned out (after nearly three years of constant use) and we thought "Uh oh" what happened? Here comes the hard part!" But it turned out to be so easy to replace them just remove the front cover (below the logs) and reach in (carefully someone with small hands!) and replace the bulbs! Easy peasy! They take normal candlebra type bulbs. If you're thinking of getting one of these I can honestly tell you they are as close to the appearance of a real fire as you can get!

For many years in the winter months, especially at Christmas time, I have made a real fire in our fireplace to get that cozy "focal point of the room" feel. Which is great, except for the work involved buying the firewood, trying to get the kindling to light, adding more wood when necessary, and of course the long and dirty cleanup the next day. What if I could click a button on a remote to obtain the same result, and then click a button to turn it off, with no cleaning ever required? Well now I can.

This insert is a perfect fit for my fireplace and is bright enough and visible even behind the glass and metal gauze doors. While the "flames" are not 100% realistic, they are extremely effective in getting the effect I was looking for. And it is a sheer joy to be able to turn the unit on and off with the small, simple remote as needed.

This insert also has the ability to generate heat, but I have never used it for this purpose. Note that the "heat" option cannot be activated via the remote control; it needs to be turned on through a switch on the unit itself. That is obviously not a problem for me as we have central heating to keep the house warm, and I use the fireplace strictly for ambiance. I actually prefer that the heat is more difficult to turn on as I would not want my children to do this accidentally.

Note that to avoid a trailing power cord you will need to do what I did and have an electrician wire an outlet into your fireplace.

Perfect cozy winter ambiance that I can turn on and off at the flick of a switch, and nothing to clean up, ever. What's not to love?

Honest reviews on Dimplex DFI2310 Electric Fireplace Deluxe 23-Inch Insert, Black

Our fireplace insert arrived quickly w/o any damage. Thank you Amazon. We had no problem installing the insert & getting it running. We were surprised, however, to discover that the "remote" does nothing more than switch it on & off. The description needs to inform potential customers that switching on the heat, or changing the heat level, requires reaching inside the fireplace to work the manual switches located inconveniently at the upper right corner. We were also surprised that there is no thermostat to maintain a desired room temperature! It's my fault for not reading the description more closely, but I really expected a thermostat because that is a feature found on even cheap electric heaters. Dimplex dropped the ball here. In spite of those two disappointments, this unit is worth four stars for quality construction, easy installation, quiet operation, and realistic appearance of the log set & flames.

I spent quite a bit of time researching different models on different sites. This is the best product for the price and Amazon has it for less than other online stores. I rely on the customer reviews for information regarding the quality and usefulness of products. The reviews were accurate, considering each reviewer has a different room size and climate, etc. I live in New England and haven't been a fan of burning wood since we moved into an old home in a remote location. Our home has an antique Franklin stove and a fireplace but I worry about fires and prefer not to take chances. After admiring a friend's wood stove look electric heater, I decided it would be wonderful to have an electric insert for our fireplace, which has been nothing but a large and very dark space in what should be a focal point. It took less than 10 minutes for my husband to open the box, remove the unit from the box, place it in the fireplace and plug it in. The remote needed to be synchronized with the unit but it's simple, takes about 10 seconds and the directions are in the manual. Our room is closer to 500 square feet and we keep the oil furnace thermostat in that zone at 60. We turned the unit on at high heat, found the fire look to be just fine and the temperature in the room was 70 degrees by the end of our movie viewing. We are very pleased with the product and would recommend it to anyone who has to think about budget. There are units out there for $500 and up to $1000 but I can't imagine that they would heat my room any better.

12/2011 We've had the unit for a year now and it continues to work beautifully. The one thing we need to do is have the electrician come and establish a dedicated plug/circuit breaker just for the Dimplex unit. If we have on all the lights in the room, as well as the CD player and the Dimplex, the circuit breaker trips and we're sitting in the dark. We recently ordered a Duraflame electric log set for our Franklin stove and it should arrive today or tomorrow. I can't wait to plug it in. If Dimplex made the size we needed, I would have happily ordered a Dimplex.

Review of Lakewood 205 1320 Watt Fan Forced Radiant Heater

Customer Ratings:

Right out of the box, this heater made a extremely loud noise. It sounded like the fan was bad by the loud clicking.

I took it apart to find out that the fan was ok, but the wiring wasn't secured in any way and it was actually being hit by the fan. Would have been a matter of time had it been left running before the wires insulation whittled down and exposed the wires causing a short and possible spark/fire.

On top of that, the little red button on the face was broken off.

As far as heating, it was good.

If you are looking for heat..this is the heater you want. Yes, it makes some noise, but nothing more than a large fan. It has a sensor on it, and anything that moves or topples the heater, will cause it to turn off.

I have had this heater from my dorm room to my large apt bed room (4 years) and its doing great, keeping me warm and the heating bills down.

Cons: Can be noisy..(expected considering how much heat it puts out and how large of an area it can cover)

Pros: AWESOME HEAT (even in large areas)

This heater is worthless. I have it on all day at the hightest setting about 6 inches from my legs and it still can't keep me warm. The problem is it runs for about 30 seconds to 2 minutes then it turns off. Waits about 3 minutes then it turns on again. Same pattern all day. I'm buying another and tossing this in the recycle. I wouldn't give this to my worst enemy.

Spend your money elsewhere, but definitely not on this piece of crap.

Honest reviews on Lakewood 205 1320 Watt Fan Forced Radiant Heater

OK This heater was GREAT when it worked and was perfect for the bathroom when someone is getting ready on those cold mornings. I didn't find it to be very noisy at all. Not sure what that's about in the other review; just a slight hum for what you would expect a heater like this to make due to the small fan. At any rate, that's really all it was used for JUST the bathroom. I put it away in the closet out of reach and this fall just put it back in its spot in the bathroom and now guess what happens? You turn it on, it stays on for 30 seconds, turns off for two good minutes, then turns back on for 30 seconds. The thermostat must be bad. What a bummer!

I remember growing up in the 80s and my grandma had a similar heater to this in her bathroom. The thing worked for decades.

Oh well off to buy another heater and add some more to the landfill!

Discount Danby 13000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

Customer Ratings:

I took a gamble on Danby and it paid off. I am pleased with this purchase. I needed something that would support a taller window out of the box. This is one of the only units I could find with a window attachment long enough to accommodate my window. Sure i could have made my own attachment, but i didn't have the time or resources to do so.

This unit is used in our sewing/computer room. I am a huge computer enthusiast and my new PC build puts off a lot of heat. Unfortunately the room itself is the worst ventilated in the house. So even when the out central air is on this room bakes in the summer. It doesn't help that it's got the sun on it for most of the day because of how our house is angled. We live in a dry climate and don't use the dehumidifier feature at all. I can vouch for the how well it cools a 600 sq. ft. room. We are very pleased with how efficient it is.

I went into this purchase knowing that there was no programmable schedule. There is however a basic timer for on off. My complaints are more so oriented towards the noise it makes than anything else. The fan is continually on even when the unit isn't actively cooling. When cooling it is definitely louder than the basic fan, but not too bad. Overall this get's the job done well.

I am so disappointed with this unit. Before I used it I borrowed my friends 4 year old Danby. Hers came

With two hoses. Hers worked great. I called Danby and asked why this one came with only one hose and they said they figured out how to make the same results with only one hose.

Anyway, I ordered it. It seems to have one major problem. I can't get it really cool. I put it on and hours later the room temperature is still the same. I put it on the lowest setting and it was cold next to the a/c but it did not project into the room. The only way I could get some coolness in the room was by putting a fan right in front of it to blow the cold air around the room.

I am trying to cool a big space but Danby said it can cool up to 500 ft.

I live in Southern California about 5 miles from the ocean and the hottest it ever gets here is mid 80's so I'm not talking about very high heat or humidity. The a/c should be able to cool under those circumstances.

This unit also comes with heat. Maybe the heat will work better than the A/C. It never goes below 48 in the winter and most nights it's in the 50's so maybe it will be able to handle that.

Overall pleased. I wish it was more programmable. I would like to tell it to turn on at 3:00 everyday and turn off at 9:00, but can't. Would have given 5 stars if it were more programmable. Produces lots of condensation drainage 10 gals per day. Rated for only a 500 sq ft room, but cools my 900 sq ft basement just fine although it runs near constantly. Purchased open box for $249. Thought I got a good deal for that price.

Honest reviews on Danby 13000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

I purchased this unit for a condo to move between the living room and bedroom. Central air would be preferable but this is a way cheaper solution for now.

This product is described as a portable. It runs on wheels and is easy to move on hardwood floors.

Where I have issues is in the window kits. I am happy that the kit fits both a patio door and a regular window. However, the panels are solid hard plastic with hard rounded edges-this means there is no seal of any kind against the patio door / window / frame and instead, a lot of gaps. (I had a portable AC 15 years ago that had soft edges to grip around windows).

As the kit uses plastic pieces that are of different widths (so that one slides into the other to create an expandable surface-think of a vacuum cleaner pipe that extends in sections) this means there are pretty big gaps around the edges of the narrower middle panel as well.

When running the unit as provided, I could feel air flow through all those gaps -a waste of energy because it means I am air conditioning the outdoors.

For now, I have put a lot of weatherstripping on the edges to fill the gaps... unfortunately, if I go from patio door to bedroom window, the weatherstripping is in the way if I want to adjust the panels.

The unit also uses a drain pipe or internal tank. The drain pipe is great... but where are you supposed to drain to? I drilled a hole through one of the window panels so I could run the pipe out onto the patio (this won't work for a bedroom window as it would be higher than the drain outlet on the AC unit). For the internal tank, there is a rubber stopper to keep it sealed (if you are not using the drain pipe). Unfortunately, there is no place to put this rubber stopper if you are using the drain pipe temporarily and want to switch back to the rubber stopper when you move the unit. For now, I have put it in a baggie and taped it to the back of the unit.

I have also noticed that the unit forgets its settings if you unplug it. It goes back to Fahrenheit and forgets the temperature setting.

So while it's billed as portable, the awkward window kit and forgetting settings every time it's moved make it a bit of a pain.

It's noisy but I expected that based on past experience with portable AC. It has a remote which is handy... the remote is a very basic, all-grey, thing and the battery compartment is screwed shut.

I'm not sure the AC unit is all that powerful regardless of how many BTU it's rated for. I think my old portable had much icier air coming out of it and I wish I'd kept it (I lived in a house with central air for a few years)-of course it's price tag was way more expensive.

All that being said, it's cheap for what it is and it's making my life tolerable during a long, hot, humid summer where I have to work at home.

Cutest candle warmer on the market. I bought them as Christmas presents last year. I got this tip from another reviewer and did an Amazon search for a cheaper replacement bulb when my mom's bulb burned out after over 1 year of daily use -GU10 120v 20w halogen light bulb. (They are 20w rather than the 25w that came with the candle warmer, but they have the same type base that fits into the warmer just fine.) Found a deal for a 6 pack of bulbs for about $6 plus shipping. I kept reading bad reviews about the bulbs not lasting. I've had no problems with my bulb, but now I have a cheaper solution when mine burns out.

Honest reviews on Candle Warmers Etc. Signature Aurora Candle Warmer Lamp

This warmer has worked great for us since we've had it. It works on the smaller jar candles from Yankee Candle (14.5 oz), but it's perfect for the large jars (22oz). I can't speak for other candle brands since we only have Yankee Candle right now, so check before purchase.

The height from the base to the lamp is about 5 3/4" inches, so any candle near that height and under should fit fine. The lamp shade and light get really warm (of course), and the candle jar where the wax is melted will get also get really warm (shocker, right?), but the base stays cool to the touch.

Of note, the wax will liquefy, but it will not evaporate (like the wax tarts in a warmer), so with time the fragrance diminishes. When this happens, you'll have to dump out the liquefied wax. Just be careful where you pour it out. It can make a mess! If you do make a mess, I suggest letting it harden just a little bit and cleaning it while it's still warm. In my experience, that's when it's easiest to clean it off.

Overall, I recommend this as the fragrance quickly comes and it's stronger than if you light the wick. It's also more cost effective than wax tarts since you don't have to buy tea lights and wax tarts at $1 a pop. And also, no open flame!

Well, they definitely look better than the "under the candle" warmers. It also seems to get the smell out noticeably more due to the melting from the top. I'm not really sure if price is justified but it was a lot cheaper than quite a few of the others that I have found!

Haven't had any problems fitting candles either.

Wanda was SO excited when I told her we was gonna get us a new mattress for the waterbed we bought at the flea market. We found this one on Amazon, and we was thrilled. Since I'm a Prime Member, shipping was free.

Luckily, this was delivered at the same time as my Expandable Garden Hose & Spray Nozzle Combo 50 FOOT! (Available on Amazon from taylorman1976). The expandable hose stretched from the faucet outside my trailer window through the bedroom to the water bed. I was able to fill up my new InnoMax Sanctuary Free Mattress lickety-split thanks to my new hose.

Unfortunately, this new mattress had some tiny little holes. It's okay, I went and got some duct tape out of the tool box on my 1980 El Camino. I wasn't a Boy Scout, but like Wanda says... I am always prepared. I taped up those holes, and my new satin sheets went on that mattress and it looked GOOD in my single-wide.

As soon as I can get Wanda out of the shower, we are gonna cuddle up and take us a nap on this new mattress. I get to be the little spoon!

Slate Wall Heater with Towel Bars Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This does not mount "flush" on the wall. If the product had been correctly represented in the ad, I would have put the wall outlet on a different wall. It looks good and I think will work out well, but I am totally fritzed that I have to call the electrician back in and put in another outlet so that the "back side" heater apparatus will not be as prominent. Had I known, I could have easily had the outlet put in the right wall. Now the drywall is in and the bathroom painted... Grrrrr...it looks good, but the product description is waaaaay off. Understand that there is a good 4 inches of utility chrome heating element behind the granite slab and that the heating element is vented out the top, so it cannot mount with the granite flush to the wall or you would be venting heat into the space inside your wall. Picture is totally inaccurate. The only way the picture is accurate is if they are heating the room behind the granite slab. LOL! Not likely.

It took my husband 15 minutes to install it and it looks great in our bathroom!! I agree that if people have tiny little bathrooms it might seem bulky, but in our bathroom looks spectacular. We went with the slate white, as we have dark tile and wanted to accent it. It takes only 15 minutes to warm the bathroom.

I bought this heater for our basement, which is perpetually colder than the rest of the house and near freezing during the winter. I was considering wall-mounted heating panels, but would have to install three in order to adequately heat our ~1000 sq ft baseement. This heater has proved to be a good choice overall. Here are the pros and cons:

Pros:

-Adequately heats large area (1000 sq ft basement kept at 66 F at 30% power)

-Lower power consumption (haven't noticed any jump in my power bill from using this)

-Cool to the touch even after hours of operating--the only part that gets somewhat hot is the vent itself on the front of the unit (totally safe for our young children and cats)

-No odors like kerosene or other space heaters produce

-Small size takes up very little space and easy to position anywhere in the room

-Portable--unlike wall-mounted heaters, this will easily move wherever you want it (this even has wheels)

-Simple operation--just three buttons total (included remote nice, but not needed)

Cons:

-No digital thermostat--although it was easy to figure out what setting keeps our basement at the right temperature

-Slow heating, requring about an hour to heat up a large space (I just leave it on continuously during winter)

-Circulation fans inside the unit make a mild noise, though not severe (can easily hear TV over the heater)

-While not bad-looking, its appearance is better suited for the basement or family room than next to fancy furniture (they have heaters of this type with wooden veneer that would probably work)

Despite some definite cons, such as no digital temperature reading, this is the best heater available based on its capacity (does the job of three smaller heaters) and low power consumption. If having a digital temperature control is a must, you could get an outlet thermostat (such as Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat), but I just leave the heater at a setting of 2 or 3 out of 8 and it does just fine through varying outdoor temperatures. Our basement is now a nice, warm play area for our pet and children thanks to this heater.

My husband and i bought this heater to heat our kitchen/dining area because we only have one source of heat, and that is a coal stove that is all the way at the other end of the house. The coal stove is plenty when the temp doesn't go below the 30's. But when it gets down into the 20's, teens or negatives, the coal stove just isn't enough! We had tried one heater before this and it just didn't work well enough so we sent it back. We live in a large log cabin so we needed something that was going to heat a large area. This duraflame heater works! The staircase to the second story of our house is also in the kitchen/dining area and this little heater also keeps our upstairs comfortable. I love the fact that we don't wake up freezing anymore when we have to get my 5 year old daughter off to school. The first thing she does when she wakes up is plop down in front of it. She loves it! I also like that it's cool to the touch so i don't have to worry about our dogs burning their coats if they get too close to it. Thinking about getting another one to heat the other half of the house and get rid of the coal stove. lol I would definitely recommend this little heater to a friend or family member. :)

Honest reviews on Duraflame 1500 Watt Quartz Heater, Black, 8HM1500

I live in a large early 1800s farmhouse in PA and I bought this unit in late December to supplement oil heat (as well as two existing small electric, oscillating tower heaters Lasko brand).

The house has three sections and we mainly stay in one section (living room and bathroom downstairs, bedroom upstairs), so that's where we put this heater. During the day, we section off the upstairs to keep the heat in the main room.

Here's the set-up:

I keep the furnace thermostat set to 55 degrees;

this heater sits in the center of the room;

and one of the oscillating tower heaters in the corner.

Overall, it's probably around 800 to 900 square feet.

We have plastic sheeting insulation over all of the nine windows in the room.

COST TO RUN: Since buying this unit, we have had it running continuously (turning it off only during the day when we are away, which is infrequent since I work from home), along with the tower heater. Regardless of the temps outside, the temp inside remains in the mid-60s. I haven't used a drop of oil heat for the entire month of January. So, the real test was what our electric bill would be for January. I just got it yesterday (I was waiting to write a review on this until I saw that cost) and it's only about 20% to 25% higher than normal. Compared to oil heat, we saved roughly $300 for January.

Of the other two sections of the house, one is closed off for the winter (no plumbing, so freezing temps don't matter) and the other is our dining room and kitchen. That's where we run the other oscillating tower heater (which is on almost all the time). Since the thermostat for the furnace is in the warmer living room, this section is much colder (normally fed by four heating vents from the furnace and now getting none of that heat). It's usually around 45 to 50 degrees in there. Based on my experience with the Duraflame unit, I'm thinking of buying another to use in this section which would run only when we're using the kitchen/dining room for cooking/entertaining.

So, pros and cons overview:

PROS

shipped quickly and in perfect condition

cheap to run (which, of course, depends on the cost of electric for your area)

cool to the touch (three cats and one dog and no singed hair, burnt tails :) )

we've had this thing running almost non-stop for a month and have had zero problems

CONS

probably wouldn't adequately heat 1000 square feet as advertised. Without the electric tower heater running, we probably would not have been able to maintain the 65 degree temp inside

it is a little noisy, but not to the point where it's distracting. Because we run it all the time, whatever humming/rattling it makes is ambient noise at this point. There does seem to be some slight rattling from time to time, but it doesn't seem to affect performance.

This heater works pretty well. I have both the Duraflame 8HM1500 and the EdenPURE Gen4. My findings are below.

Build quality: EdenPURE. The Duraflame noise is not so much the fan, but the whole unit. Put a heavy book on top of it and the

Noise level drops. Put carpet under the casters and it gets a bit more quiet. The unit just has more rattles.

Noise Level: EdenPURE, because of the above.

Heat/Funtionality: They both work well, both housings stay cool to the touch, so this is even.

Looks: EdenPURE looks a bit better once you see them in person. On the web I thought the Duraflame looked better.

Warrenty: EdenPURE.

The Duraflame works well at half the price, and they really are meant to supplement the whole house heating system, not work by themselves, and in that regard they work well. If the temp stays above 45 or so they can more or less handle the floor space they advertise all by themselves.

Works great for basement family room. Purchased two and they heat the very large room perfectly. Just be aware if you don,t know how to do electricle work you should hire an electrician because they need to be hard wired. You do not,just plug them in.

Once you get it together it looks and works great. The instructions are horrible and we had to cut the metal brackets that hold the fire place to the hearth. They were to big and the hearth would not sit flush around the insert otherwise. Also you need to build the hearth around the fireplace insert. There is absolutely no way to insert it and put the brackets on it after the hearth is built. So before you put the top part of the hearth on, install the fireplace part and then finsh by adding the top piece.

I'm so excited to come home to my Media electric fireplace which brings a cozy, warm and relaxed feeling to my bedroom. The dark brown espresso color adds a nice touch to my bedroom furniture which is also dark brown. After you assemble all the parts together that took almost 45 minutes, you will definitely see your moneys worth. It took almost two weeks for it to be delivered in two parts. The mantel and then the fireplace w/remote control. I panicked when I only received the mantel and didn't see the fireplace which was delivered later that day. It took the manufacturers to tell me that there are two deliveries. If there are any questions or concerns, please call the manufacturers directly. Trust me...you wont be sorry.

I love this fireplace but there are 2 manuals (one for the wooden parts and one for the fireplace itself). Given that they are separated we started with the one related to the wooden parts and we missed one step of the second manual, hence we had to disassemble or just keep going. We just kept going (we skip the step that prevents the fireplace itself from being pulled, so we hope nobody want to pull it :).

Other than that I do not have major complains but feel very warm in winter.

The heater works great and the "fire" is very authentic looking. The cabinet was the perfect color. Was not difficult for my husband to put together. It is very heavy, though. He had to have help to get it upstairs.

It was love at first sight, A great looking heater, producing oodles of heat even in upstate New York, and using 1/3 of the wattage of my baseboard heaters what's not to love? I picked up six of them and mounted them on various walls around the house.

The honeymoon ended after 18 months. The heater in my bedroom started singing a tuneful but dolorous melody whenever it turned on. A few weeks of that and it sang no more. Curious, I removed it from its wall mounting and discovered large, deep cracks on the surface of its backside. Even more curious, I started removing some of the other heaters. Though only three had scary cracks, all showed some signs of cracking. It did not seem to matter whether they had been mounted on interior or exterior walls. They cracked. I wish the manufacturer had gone to Corning for the ceramic!

Fire hazard, I said to myself.

Divorce was inevitable.

As we try to turn back the temps at night, so we dont heat a 2,000 sq ft house, while we sleep under the covers...I have 2 kids which dont always stay under the covers!

So I used the typical space heaters for a while, ugly as the are, and at 750 or 1500 watts, they kept the room temps up just fine.

Along comes this wall unit, at 400 watts. It attaches to the wall, can be painted to match the room, plugs into any outlet, and one can heat a small room by itself.

While I do not recommend these for primary heating, because they take too long to warm up, I HIGHLY recommend them for seconardy zone heating for bedrooms.

Connecting two of more per room, and you probably could use them for primary heating and *could* take the place of base board heaters. But 2 or 3 panels would take up a lot of space and not look good, thus I do not recommend replacing baseboard heaters with these panels.

These are on simple switches out of the box, there is no thermostat. I have found the Lux WIN100 Smart Temp Fully Programmable Thermostat to be the ultimate solution. Set the times you want the heater on and off, set the temps you want, plug it in, then plug in the heater...and your done for the season.

My house is heated by a propane fireplace. With the cost of propane rising dramatically, I bought three of these heaters last year and used them all winter. I heated my full 1200 square foot living area with those three heaters at an approximate cost of $1 per day. I can't recommend these highly enough. And if you have children or pets, they are very safe--they do get hot, but not hot enough to burn you. Plus, they are totally quiet.

I have recommended these heaters to friends and neighbors.

Honest reviews on Eco-heater 602 High-Efficiency Electric Panel Whole-Room Heater

In a word...Hooray. Low energy consumption (400 watts), no tipping over, easy to install, nice toasty heat, this heater has many benefits. My home is heated by a centrally located fireplace (so I'm already a fan of radiant heat) and I use this heater to keep a bedroom warm. Installed this about 1 week ago and so far so good. As promised on the packaging, it really does only take 10 minutes to install.

The only downside is that the panel itself does get reasonably hot, it's true that it's safe enough that you can touch it and not get burnt, but you won't want too do that. I was going to install in a kids room, but had second thoughts after giving it a test run. Also it would have been great for the manufacturer to include information re: direct wire installation or use of a thermostat. ..but these are really minor points compared to having a great heat source that is safely out of the way, mounted to the wall, and efficient.

I bought this heater to install in the nursery so the baby's room would stay warmer overnight while the rest of the house went down to 60 degrees. The house has attic insulation, but no wall insulation, and there are storm windows.

The good about the heater: It is unobtrusive. We have it installed on an interior wall out of the way. It is easy to install; it took about 10 minutes. It keeps the baby's room warmer than the rest of the house. I also like the fact that it uses less power than a standard heater. Not only is it cheaper to run, I have fewer concerns about overloading circuits. I like the fact that it has a paintable surface, although I haven't decided if I am going to paint it. I have heard that painting radiators reduces their efficiency and I don't know if that applies to this heater.

The less than good: We have had this heater on in a rather small room (10 by 10) with a hot water radiator system, and over night it only seems to bring the temperature about 5 degrees above the temperature in the rest of the house. Based on other reviews of this heater and others, I ordered the plug in thermostat. I think I will return it because I won't ever need to turn off the heat because it is too hot. Also, the passive heating means that it takes a while for the heater to have any impact on the temperature of the room. I turn it on at 6 pm so that the room will be comfortable when the central heat goes down to 60 degrees at 10 pm. My final concern is that the heater says it can be mounted at any height, but that it works best closest to the ground -6 to 18 inches above the baseboard. I was hoping to install it higher so my baby wouldn't accidentally burn himself on it. Since heat rises, I should have realized this flaw in my logic.

I don't think this is a bad product, it just isn't as good as I wanted it to be for $150.

We own a B&B made of vintage railroad cabooses in Northern California's wine country and we now own four of these units. Being cabooses, the rooms are about 450 square feet with this unit in the center of one wall keeping the room cool or hot depending on the season.

The nice thing about this unit is that it's inexpensive, installs in moments and just does the job. Our guests don't need to be rocket scientists to operate the included remote control and the unit can cope with summers where the outside temperature reaches 110° and winters where the nights can be in the low teens. The grapes love this weather, but people aren't as thrilled.

The air conditioning mode is the best of all on this unit. There are two fan speeds and you simply select the temperature you desire and the unit does a very effective job of keeping the room very comfortable. When the temperature is reached the unit shuts off as you might expect and comes on again when it's time for another dose of nice, cold air.

The heating function is slightly different. You still set the temperature and all, but the fan never shuts off. This means that as the unit blows increasingly cold air until the compressor kicks in again and heats up the incoming air. This is strange I don't know why the fan never shuts off in heat mode but it doesn't, and this is true of all of these units.

I also had one unit arrive slightly damaged but I was able to fix the problem.

If your room is under about 500 square feet this is a nice, efficient way of keeping it comfortable. I've had one of these units for up to three years with no issues. Considering that some of our rooms use ductless/mini split type systems with infinitely complicated remote controls this is such a refreshing change. The reason I didn't rate the unit five stars is because of the heater fan never shutting off, otherwise these units are great.

I was so excited to find an A/C and heater in one, but unfortunately, this was not worth it. The plug requires special work in the form of re-wiring the outlet, getting a converter (which is not safe or recommended), or I don't know what else. If this came with a standard plug, it still wouldn't be worth it. It did not seem to heat or cool effectively and I returned it.

Customer Ratings:

I really wanted a corner fireplace, I already have an amish fireplace, so I ordered stonegate Corner Fireplace. When it arrived, it had so many parts, and not good directions, and when we DID start to screw pieces together, the whole thing fell apart. I paid $300 for this? My husband went to the hardware store and bought screws that would hold together, it took 2 1/2 hrs to get it together after we figured out how and used store bought screws that worked. I was very disappointed in this product for the price I paid for it. It is together and in my kitchen, but the pressed board like material that they gave us for this was very poor, I would not recommend it to anyone until they refamp the material and get better directions and materials that will hold this fireplace together.
