Over many year have purchased dozens of suction/transfer pumps. Few worked well, this one works great! I quickly transfered gas from garden equipment for winterizing. It was easy to empty tank because the suction line is straight & rigid.

I had one of these siphon pumps to fill my kerosene heater. It got a hole in the squeeze bubble at the top. Our hardware stores only had cheap, small, no flow pumps available. I love this one, the flow is good and I can fill my heater without worring about it taking forever to fill or spilling it everywhere. Even with shipping and handling, this was cheaper than the hardware stores crappy pumps too.

this is a product i have used for several years, i can't complain it works and worth the money.

Honest reviews on Siphon Tube

Bought this pump and it worked quite well.

There were only 2 drawbacks. The first is that the squeeze pump burst (along the seams) after one month of mild use; also you have to work the pump a bit (to get an even, steady flow) which causes a slash if the container being siphoned into is shallow.

Otherwise, it's a great product.

Not sure how long this will last, but for now I'm very pleased it has helped me drain the generator of gas and return the fuel to a holding tank, as well as helped me get the wife some gas in her car in a pinch.

I have owned this heater for at least 4 years now and I love it! The heater adjusts so you can blow the air toward your feet, your head, wherever you wish. I have taken this one camping with me and used it in the tent to make fall camping more comfortable. The size is nice and compact so it doesn't take much space.

I purchased one of these small TPI 178 TMC heaters a few years back and I was honestly never much impressed with it. While it was quiet, it hardly had any air or heat output even when run on max fan and max heating. However, I found a perfect application for it, and that was my above-ground well house. Since it is a small 8 ft x 10 ft well-insulated outbuilding, I actually couldn't have a larger output heater in it during the winter months without it putting too much heat out for the small space. Later, I installed a thermostatically-controlled small baseboard heater in my well house and the TPI heater didn't see a lot of regular use after that (as I had a number of other, better heaters).

Then, when I was recently using it, the black plastic swivel mount housing fractured in half, which completely separated the heater unit from its base, which rendered the heater non-operational. I wrote to TPI to see if I could purchase a replacement plastic swivel mount, but as I surmised before hand, they essentially had no parts for the heater as it was imported with no parts support. After some back and forth, I am pleased to report that TPI stood behind the heater (which was LONG out of warranty), and they shipped me a completely new heater at no charge (even for the shipping). I have to say that I was very impressed with TPI for doing this in an era where customer service can be rather poor and companies' standing behind their products has become something of the exception rather than the rule.

As a bonus, the new TPI 178 TMC heater put out far more heat and fan power than the old one ever did. Based on this, I can in fact recommend this little heater and especially TPI as a company.

I had this heater for several months under my desk now, and I love it. It is usually working on keeping my toes warm, but once its setting "fan only" saved my iPhone that was dropped into water (iPhone recovered after a day of drying and works fine). I don't keep it running all the time, but it heats up in a matter of seconds, so a couple of minutes is enough to get warm. I don't think I would like it on the entire day because I can still hear the fan even though it is not that loud as far as fan forced heaters go.

I just recieved this kettle to replace a rival hotpot. The Rival lacked an on-off switch. It also gave off some strange tastes and some say stainless is better than plastic that way.

I reheat coffee and heat canned goods in the hotpot as it's easier for me than the range and the wide opening on this hotpot allows one to clean it easily though the lid won't lift as far as you'd like.

On recieving this kettle my first thought was the base was of light gauge plastic seemed a little cheap. But I suppose that's ok if it turns out to be durable. Next I was amazed that the stainless vessel was of lighter gauge than I expected. This is probably all good though. Some reviewers of the other stainless kettles remark that they are heavy and get 'dangerously' hot. This one is actually reasonably light to maneuver. And if I boil 2 cups of water turning it off myself which is before the automatic shut off the stainless is just warm at the top; not really hot. If it doesn't wear out this is fine for my needs. Also it looks like the picture. I give it one star for the appearance of the polished stainless, but that is subjective. Have to admit though, it cleans good.

3 year later: Still works fine and I've fired it up every day 3-5 times. V Fine.

I have had this kettle for about a year, and have been very happy with it. However, a couple weeks ago I started having the problem that many other reviewers here have complained about, the on/off switch not staying on. Curious, I opened up the bottom of the kettle, and found the two wires going to the heating element had melted together, causing an intermittent short. I have reported this to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, and I hope that something will be done.

This has all the feature I wanted when I was looking for a electric pot to heat water for coffee. Its stainless steel so no plastic taste. Lid opens wide so its easy to fill and clean. No element inside the pot to interfere with cleaning the inside. It lifts off the base so that you can take it to the table. The large window shows the water level. This is our second one of this model. We had the first one for years until we broke it. The new one has a improved spout so that water pours out without spilling on the counter. I can't imagine someone buying any other model when this one has all the features you need for a heating water for coffee of tea..

Honest reviews on Chef'sChoice M675 International Cordless Electric Hot Pot

This is the best I have found. I tried the Cuisinart kettle but the solvents used on the plastic parts (including inside) gave the water a terrible taste and smell. Most kettles had those plastic parts inside for the auto-shut-off mechanism but not this one (it is concealed in the cover)

It is compact and does not take much room on your counter, very quick and so far nothing negative to say about it at all.

I bought this because, let's face it, Alton Brown just rocks. He recommended it "Gear for your Kitchen". I was sick of using my regular stove top teakettle it would collect grease and dirt, requiring scouring on a regular basis. It was Murphy's Law that the kettle would whistle just when I had my hands full or was busy with something else.

This electric hot pot boils water just about as fast (I tested it myself). But it doesn't whistle and shuts itself off when it reaches a boil. AB recommended this one because of the large opening, and true to his claim, you can indeed cool the perfect hard boiled egg 6-7 at a time, actually. I love that it doesn't live on the stove where it collects grease (I've wiped the outside down twice in a year). I love that it's cordless. The only "downside" is that when I make tea, I make 2 qts at a time and the capacity on this is only 1.5 qt, so it could be just slightly larger (Oh and don't try to heat milk based things in it the clean up is horrid I tried to heat up chai in it).

Anyone wondering about the performance of these units should not be worried. Used in a 24 x 32 garage in Virginia, the garage is well insulated but has two 10 x 16 overhead drive through doors, two large windows and a pedestrian door...so..there is more than enough air-infiltration. Does not matter, set at 50 degrees all winter and burned a nominal 88 gallons of propane. If you need to warm the space up quick, just turn it up and it makes it toasty in 20 minutes. Good luck....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Honest reviews on Telescoping Infrared Patio Heater - Glass Front

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

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

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

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

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

The Cyclone 2000 is the smallest of the Port-A-Cool (PAC) product line, and clearly it's the design and convenience that warrants their rather high purchase price and not because of any generous amount of high grade hardware being used for its assembly. I'll elaborate on that later but first, regardless of how these PACs are advertised, they are still swamp coolers and serve well in drier climates by whisking cool evaporated water into the air, and since I live in the dry, dry desert and have access to every PAC model in production, these are definitely better than the average evaporative coolers. They are swamp coolers on steroids, ranging from this smallest unit all the way up to the new mega-buck and hair raising Hurricane! So anything with the Port-A-Cool label on it is going to have superior cooling when compared to the less expensive KuulAire products. But be sure of what you are about to purchase because you can save a few hundred dollars if one of the smaller units is adequate and you don't really need the high volume of air flow that are common to these PACs. I never heard of anyone cooling the outside air before until becoming familiar with these units, and it is true. They will keep you cool, and people just love to keep one of the smaller PAC units pointed in their direction all the time while they are working either inside or outside.

I received my Cyclone 2000 several months before actually putting it into service. Upon finally removing it from its shipping box and hooking up power and a water hose, it wouldn't work, but I could hear a distinct hum from the motor. I pulled it completely apart and discovered a bent motor mount was causing the squirrel cage to rub up against its housing. Pulled it apart and straightened everything out the way it is supposed to be when shipped from the factory, and now it runs perfectly. My only disappointment was the use of cheap self-drilling metal screws to hold everything in position which only serves to speed up production, but what the end user finds out is that every screw eventually strips out and doesn't hold. Every one of them needs to be replaced with nuts and bolts, and the designers at Port-A-Cool should know better. Don't be cheap with a good product and test these coolers for proper operation before sending them out!

I'm using it in a 680 sq-ft garage/shop which is larger than recommended for the Cyclone 2000. I leave the garage door open about 2 ft so it pulls in outside air.

The temp drop is dramatic. When it's 100F outside the air coming from the portacool is in the high 70's. I'm in Dallas, TX, so the air is fairly low humidity which is essential for making this type of cooler work. Since the unit is really too small for the space, I have to direct it towards the space that I work in but I don't consider that an issue. I've found that it isn't very good at cooling off a space that is already hot. If I wait until the afternoon and turn it on, it will help but it will still be hot in the shop. Best way to use it is to turn it on in the morning and let it run all day. If I do that, the shop is very livable even in the afternoon.

So in summary: It is not an air conditioner. As long as it is used for what it was designed for it's very effective and can keep a space livable, though not 100% comfortable, even on a hot day. And it will do it at a fraction of the running cost of AC. I don't hesitate to let this unit run all day as it only uses a couple of amps on 115V (very low electricity use compared to an AC unit).

This item worked as described. I got a 10 degree split in the Temp. We sit on the back porch and 85 feels much cooler than 95. A side advantage is it greatly reduces the flies bothering your time outside. Would have given a 5 star rating if it had side to side adjustment.

I have really enjoyed my Port A Cool, Cyclone 2000. With all the 100+ degree days here in Texas it was too hot to work in my shop. The Cyclone 2000 solved the problem.

I bought this from this vendor in December 2010. The color is a light cream color. It comes with a 3/8" elbow flare fitting. The gas line in the fireplace had a 3/8" flare fitting. The supply line is a 24" from HD, for under $20. Mr Heater recommends not putting the unit in an enclosed space, such as in the fireplace, so I put it on the hearth. The unit has a fan with an on off switch, and the fan comes on when the unit is warmed up. The fan has one speed and is as loud as the microwave. I only used the fan a couple of times, opting instead for the ceiling fan on low in reverse. The unit has a pilot light that is lit with a battery (included) powered igniter. The pilot is easy to light and I turn it off when not using the heater. The thermostat goes from 1 to 5, with 1 being about 55 degrees, and 3 being about 70 degrees. The amount of gas is not adjustable by the heater, but it can be turned down with the gas valve built into the fireplace. I added a photo that shows the heater running with the gas turned down by the fireplace gas valve. This allows the heater to run all day and keep the room at a constant temperature without cycling on and off.

The good: Very low cost for a lot of heat. Fan and floor mounts are included. With ventless, all the heat generated stays in the room. Infra red radiant heat is warm. You might want to search on high intensity gas heaters. The infra red heater allows us to turn the house thermostat way down, and have the same comfort in the family room that we would get by sitting in the sun on a cold day.

The bad: Ventless has a combustion smell. I got a slight head ache for the first two weeks after running the unit at full power. Either I got used to it, or the newness burned off. The unit is not as attractive as a gas log insert.

These heaters are supposed to cause condensation, and we were hoping for an increase in humidity, but the house is still in the dry range at 30%.

I bought this heater as an experiment. I had a $4,000 gas insert installed in my last house with excellent results, and installed the same item in this house, but it was a dud. I wanted to test my expectations whether a 40,000 btu vented gas insert with 75% efficiency generated the same comfort as a 30,000 btu infra red ventless. The big difference is the radiant heat. The infra red ventless generates more comfort. It feels like a roaring fire, but does not look like one. I still wanted the ventless to eliminate the smell, and asked three insert manufacturers to provide any a test results they have for their units for radiant heat, but got no answers. My conclusion is that the inserts look pretty, and they generate the same kind of heat as the house heater, but they don't do radiant. I'll enjoy the warmth, live with the smell, and keep $3,800 in my pocket.

I bought & posted the LP version of this unit after reviewing the comments/opinions of this NG unit as well...figured I would post a copy as they are basically the same unit, only using a different 'flavor' of fuel! ;) ALL info is completely relevant, just keep in mind the 'LP (propane) specific comments are directed @ this units' LP twin-brother!

Recently experienced some winter power outages & realized a dire need for some 'peace-of-mind' during any future episodes! Consequently, this came in handy yesterday 12-19-2011, when the furnace happened to fail out! I am in the White Mountain range, and it was only 9 degrees when this happened; this little guy kept us from freezing to death, literally! BTW, i am in a 2000+ sq. foot home, 2 level, so even though that's much more space than this one is actually capable of heating, the heat naturally moved upstairs & throughout the house & kept it 'livable', regardless! ;) This unit provides more than enough heat to 'camp-out' & survive a no-heat situation comfortably for probably up to 1000sq. feet in a pinch, if it's not too, TOO cold out! ;) The heater does EXTREMELY well, is VERY efficient (around 99.7%!), and a perfect emergency-type or 'supplemental' heating source. It is NOT recommended as a primary heat source as it is NOT vented and even illegal for use in some states (Massachusetts) because of this, so check w/ your state laws 1st before ordering...Note: this unit should NOT be used in a bathroom or bedroom, only a 'primary' (and open!) living space/quarters!...

When you order this heater, be sure to get an appropriate regulator assembly/hose to go with it, as the pressure needs to be 'stepped-down' to 11-13WC, or around 1/2 to 1 PSI in normal human speaking terms! ;) It is NOT meant to be connected directly to the LP gas supply (like you would a natural gas system) without incoming gas pressures first being regulated down; it will blow the valve system & would NOT be covered under any warranties! :P ...

As this unit is VENT-FREE...just for peace of mind for you 'worry-wart' type people (like me!), I would wholeheartedly recommend the use of a reputable carbon monoxide detector in the home this is to be used to protect you & your loved-ones from any dangers...the unit IS equipped w/ an ODS system, that will automatically shut the unit down if there not enough available oxygen (for you!) in the room it is operating, so that helps ease some worries!...Just so you know, my heater is operating in the downstairs 1000 sq. feet living space, in a 10x15 living-room, CO detector @ farthest wall from heater; it's a KIDDE Nighthawk digital CO detector Kidde KN-COPP-3 Nighthawk Plug-In Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Backup and Digital Display (VERY good!) & has registered ZERO '0' ppm since firing up the heater in the same room! not too shabby! ;)...my detector also has the 'explosive gas' detector built in as well, which comes in REAL handy when dealing w/ LP (propane) gas, as it heavier than air, sinks low, & tends to 'pool' up in lower or enclosed spaces, just waiting for a spark! :O Natural gas is a lil' bit 'friendlier', 'cause when it leaks off, it is lighter than air, & tends to float up, intermingling w/ other air & usually finding places to dissipate & escape with other heated air leaving the home! ;)

Just a bit of info regarding a specific feature on this unit (and actually one of the reasons I chose this model over the other brands!) is a unique digital temperature readout display on the top right corner of the housing, where the thermostat control is located; you can see a pic of it in image two @ the top of the page...Well, this particular feature is NOT included with this unit. I have contacted Mr. Heater regarding this feature and why it is missing...they explained that, although it was a really nice feature to have, customers were 'getting confused' as to what it was & how it related to heater operation???...O-kaay?...so that feature has been omitted from ALL 2011 built units as of January, 2011. This includes ALL units, both LP and natural gas, infrared AND blue-flame units included; SO, if you really appreciated (& wanted!) this feature like I did, the only way to obtain it is to find a 2010 (last years model) unit in somebody's 'old-stock' in their warehouse...I have not had any leads...good luck! >:(

I suppose it's not that important, but I thought it was a handy & useful feature to have w/ a heater...I mean, practically ALL those little ceramic heaters now run on digital temp controls & readouts now too, right!?! :O Consequently, all the pics and descriptions for any of the newer 20-30k BTU units of this nature including the digital temps are incorrectly advertised & need to be updated as such to reflect the omission of this nifty lil' feature... :(

PROS:

VERY efficient

Fan unit INCLUDED with this model (costs $30-50 xtra charges w/ similar units!)

'Free-standing' feet INCLUDED w/ this model (also additional costs w/ others)

ELECTRONIC ignition; VERY nice, compared to the click, click, click push-button BBQ igniters (which rarely work half the time!)

very COZY, & nice radiant heat literally POURS from the face of this heater! :) warms the bones! ;)

very easy to hook up & start using, right outta-the-box!

NO electricity needed whatsoever for operation!...of course the blower wont operate, but it's a nice QUIET & COZY heat! :)

CONS:

Fan unit not very powerful, & slightly on the loud side, a little quieter than a hairdryer on 'low' setting; doesn't move much heat, but the radiant heat helps w/ that issue on it's own! ;) ...it CAN however be set to 'ON' or 'AUTO' or OFF! (which is nice when you don't want to hear it!), AND it is automagically turned on by heat & cuts out when the heater cools down, so no 'human-thought' required when using! :)

Has the ability to burn up fuel pretty quick if you leave it up 'high' for a quite awhile...of course it WAS only 10 degrees! bbbrrrr! :O

Unit REALLY stinks when you use it 1st time, burning off paints/oil/new stuff...recommend burning OUTSIDE for awhile HOT to burn off the bad smelling stuff & 'cure' the unit before indoor use (I didn't have a choice!) :(

Kinda misleading pics/description regarding the digital temp display feature, should be updated to reflect this issue

FYI...vent-free units are VERY efficient heaters, HOWEVER, one important snippet of knowledge that most don't know, or are not usually told about, is the fact that these types of heaters have the capacity to release up to a QUART (32oz) of water vapor into your house while in operation (burning); this is due to the fact that there is no venting for the exhaust gases to escape...hence your awesome efficiency is ALSO the culprit of unneeded water vapor...BUT, this is somewhat negated by the fact that a heater is most likely used in the Winter (cold!) months...humidity levels are usually alot lower in the Winter, and as a result, most people usually choose to add water to their homes (humidifiers, steam pots on the wood-stove, etc.)during these times anyway to help reduce chapped hands & lips, dry skin, & lowering the chance of catching a cold, sore throat or getting sick! So the extra moisture could actually be seen as a 'PRO' depending on how you view it!...too much moisture in the home can obviously be a problem as well! :P

...All in all, I find ALOT of positive benefits regarding this heater & it also works really well for what it was designed to do (possibly heating even better than it was rated by sq footage!)...I would totally recommend this heater for anyone needing a back-up emergency or supplemental heat source for not really alot of money @ all! Geez, very economical in fact compared to 'commercially' available installs/solutions! It's 'The Great Lil' Heater that Could!' & does the job very nicely, thank you!

Happy Holidays 2011 & stay WARM!!! ;)

I was a little doubtful about reviews when I bought this heater, but it is great heater! I use it in my garage and I barely have to turn the heat setting above 1. I can walk into my garage in the middle of winter, in which I live in Northeast ohio so it gets cold, and be in shorts and t-shirt and be comfortable! So far I have had it for 2 and 1/2 months and it has not really caused my gas bill to go up at all. I absolutely recommend this product for anyone out there, especially for the men who like to be in thier garage. You cant find a more affordable and efficient way to heat the garage!

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater 30,000 BTU Natural Gas Radiant Vent Free Heater

I was looking for a heater that had a built in thermostat and temperature display. I bought this heater to take the place of an old heater in my 1200 sq ft detached garage. The product description claims it has a 'adjustable thermostat' and also that 'Heater also has built in digital room temperature display'. To my dissatisfaction, this heater does not shut off when it reaches a set temperature. And it does NOT have a digital room temp display. There are 5 settings, lowest to highest.

The product seems to work fine and does a good job heating up the garage. I keep it on low and let it go to work. However, I find myself having to shut it off manually. Even at the low setting, my garage can get warmer than I'd like. And it doesn't stop putting out heat, which is a waste of energy.

I would recommend this product based on its ease of use and overall function. However, if you're looking for a heater that you can adjust and leave alone then this isn't the product for you.

The short of it is this heater works flawlessly and I can depend on it.

More details: The parts don't seem to be formed to fit well and the assembly was not the best so I was worried at first but it works flawlessly. Great design! I had another one that looked like it was made better but the pilot light kept going out if the fan came on and sometimes even if the fan was turned off so I could never depend on it from the day it was new. Very happy with this product and now I don't come home to a freezing house or worry about the pipes freezing and bursting if I travel. I'm not talking about parts hanging or falling off, just the details of the fit if you notice those things. Even the thermostat is more accurate and responds quicker than the other heaters I've had.

PS. I hope the time I spent doing this review has helped you the same way your reviews have helped me make better decisions. Thanks!

Review of Cork Hot Pad - Rectangular (300X200X10MM)

Cork Hot Pad - Rectangular

I was delighted to be able to buy this rectangular cork mat. A few years ago it was possible to get these mats at a local variety store, but they eventually stopped carrying them. I am using mine underneath a ceramic tower room heater which stands on a carpeted floor. The manufacturer of the heater recommended that something be placed between the carpet and the bottom of the heater so as to prevent possible discoloration and this cork mat fills the bill.

I was pleased to receive the shipment promptly and in perfect condition. The size and weight of the mat are also perfect.

The pad is good and useful but not as attractive as other pads made with nicer material and design. It however does serve the purpose of holding the hot tray or pot.

I purchased these for work to protect our countertops during catered meetings and they were perfect. I loved them so much, I ordered another set of them to use at home.

Very handy shape to have on the counter top or cupboard. Easy to store and doesn't roll like the round ones.

HVAC guys wanted $1000 to install this. I just had to replace an old one. With the help of their great customer support, I was able to slide this one right in. Been in for about 2 months in a studio apartment I rent out. Tenant is happy with it.

We replaced a GE AZ41H12DAB 11,800 BTU Unit and I was concerned with GE's durability since that unit was only about 5 years old. However the condenser fan had broken on that unit and while performing that simple repair I decided to clean up the base plate and repaint it and most likely caused a slow leak in the refrigerant system because it worked well for a short period before quitting again. With that unit using the older refrigerant that is getting costly to buy and the cost of diagnosis and repair I decided to replace it and worry about fixing it later so I will have a spare unit. Some research led me to stick with GE because of their reputation for durability and that they are one of the quietest and the most efficient PTACs made.

Slid the old one out, slid this one in, hooked up the external programmable digital thermostat, plugged it in and it works like a charm. The 15K BTU runs for much shorter periods than the older 12K BTU unit and the best thing is that it is much quieter than the old unit. It is the quietest PTAC I have ever heard.

Seems to be a quiet machine and hoping that it will be a little better energy efficient than the other one I have.

It arrived nicely packed and everything . I was so happy to finally have ac because my old one broke and i needed to replace it as soon as possible because it was like 100 degrees outside. worked for like 4 minutes and then it stopped . Great now what? Good it has the warranty. It was hard to get someone to come out and fix it. It took over a week for people to come out .. So they took ac with them . they said once its fixed they will call me. Its been 2 weeks and no one is calling me. I called them and all they are saying the replacement parts havent arrived yet. OMG how much longer I am suffocating from the heat!!!so seriously its beed like a month and i am without ac.

All the reviews are great . And i do feel happy this AC is so great. I just want to see it myself too and the company should really care more about customers and speed up the process of fixing it.
