This is the second one I have bought. First one lasted 5 yrs plugged in 24/7. Husband took it apart and found burnt broken element inside. Should have had it on a timer to dry a few hrs a day; will do that with new one. It is cheaper now by $150 so not so hard to replace it . Also needed to match up mounting bracket hardware on the wall. Getting same one solved that. Also getting an 8 bar for our mtn cabin SPOILED!!!

This towel rack is very pretty.

It's smooth, so it does not snag delicates.

It does not get as warm as I would like it to. The towel is not really warm, and is only warn in places, not all over.

It does not seem to dry delicates any faster than the air, but at least it is a smooth place to hang them.

The main drawback is that I bought this specifically because it was plug in, and so I thought would not require any wiring.

However, my contractor told me that because of the voltage/wattage he had to change the wiring in my wall to accommodate it.

If you order it, check with your electrical person first to make sure you will not have to pay extra money to have your outlet rewired.

Had another towel warmer previously which was mediocre at best. I had hoped the Myson Diamond 12 bar would be good but it has exceeded my expectations. My bath sheets are toasty through and through and the Diamond 12 bar has enough room for hand towels and wash cloths as well. Very well designed.

I had a smaller portable towel bar that worked well, but only held one towel. On this one we can hang two bath towels, two hand towels and two washcloths.

Review of Dimplex Cheshire Media Console with 25 Inch Self-trimming Electric

Dimplex Cheshire Media Console with 25 Inch Self-trimming Electric Firebox, Mocha, DFP25-M1013
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

This baby is big; 200lbs, heavy and solid, as it should be. The fire place is very realistic and hypnotic, as expected.

Be careful when sliding the fireplace into the cabinet it may scratch or ding the wood trim, but they thoughtfully included a felt tip touch-up pen just in case you make a ding or two. I did and the pen works just fine,

It is made to fit nicely into a corner location, if one chooses that.

Not too difficult to assemble, just take your time. Screw everything tight with a phillips head driver especially the four weird bolts that connect the top piece with the base. This is a very clever concealed construction technique that I have never seen before , but very effective. Two people would be a great help putting it together, as I said it's heavy. A great product, highly recommended, we love it.

Our shipment was received on the day promised with a phone call a couple days ahead from the shipping company confirming delivery. Wonderful... My husband was a little overwhelmed taking all the parts out but I suggested we start little but within a 1/2 hour we had it finished. Wonderful... We moved it into our spot plugged it in and began to enjoy the ambiance of a fireplace. Wonderful... The simulated flame and the glass beads looking like ambers burning. Wonderful... I highly recommend...

As others have said, the heat is not strong, but I didn't need or expect much here in Florida. In reality, if it put out any more heat it would be too much, so if you just want a little heat in one room, this is great and even saves money since you won't have to turn on the Central heat just to get the one room up a couple of degrees. The other thing that is impressive is the Flame-box. It looks really nice and does seem like a real fire, but I would not refer to it as a "fireplace". it really doesn't look like a fireplace but rather like some type of gas fire rising from a bed of golden glass embers. Don't get me wrong it looks great, but unlike the picture, the output is white and golden yellow with no red in the "flames" or "embers".

As for a TV stand, it is very heavy duty and very heavy in weight too. It has no problem holding my 70lb TV and probably could hold heavier, but I think most flat screens weigh less and less so likely no issues. The instructions were also easy to follow and assembly was fast. The only negative is that the top shelf is attached with lightweight cam bolts, so if you tried to lift it by the top shelf I think it would break off. That may be obvious to you, but for me, I always grab the top to move things around, so I'm glad I thought about it instead of learning the hard way.

Lastly, the "Component shelf" is very small. This may not be an issue if you have the newer "micro-slim" components, but if you have the older electronics in big rectangle black metal boxes, you will only be able to fit one thing on the shelf.

Overall a great looking and working unit.

We received the console in one box. Wasn't too hard to remove items. Maybe 9 pieces in all. Only took maybe 45 minutes to set up. My wife loves it. 3 bags of crushed glass was included to place where the logs would have been. Looks great. Looks like a gas fireplace. Very quiet too.

Focused on this brand because of Dimplex's reputation with electric fireplaces.

I was very pleasantly pleased with the media console.

It was solid wood beautifully finished and assembled without any trouble (about an hour).

It is heavy being solid wood, but can be moved fairly easily by one person.

It was delivered to my garage and I unpacked it there and carried the pieces in.

Very happy with the look. The heater is very low BTU but I was not looking for for a heater, just the look.

The remote works well and the heater can be turned off independently if you want.

My wife is happy so I am happy!

The seat has almost no padding, I usually take a seat cushion with me to sit on.

The back has no cushioning and the frame tube across the back pushes right into your back, if you have an extra seat cushion put it behind you.

The velcro straps that go under the stadium bleacher seat is an absolute pain to attach and remove. I'm trying to figure a way to attach hooks to the frame which will go under the bleacher. Too bad the manufacturer didn't think of it.

Review of Patton PQH307-UM Tower Quartz Heater with Adjustable Thermostat

Patton PQH307-UM Tower Quartz Heater with Adjustable Thermostat
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
Portable heaters are a mixed bag--they can be incredibly useful and they can start fires. I personally know two elderly women who ran portable heaters continuously at the maximum level . . . until the outlets caught on fire! In most cases, the circuit breaker will trip before this happens, but obviously not in all cases. The biggest trippers of the circuit breakers, where portable heaters are concerned, appear to be those running at high settings of 1000 watts or more. But lower settings under 1000 watts often don't provide enough heat. This Patton has a lower setting (#1) of only 750 watts, and yet feels like a heater running at a 1500 watt setting. Thus, it's an excellent choice for houses that can't handle the higher wattage settings. Although I will never plug any portable heater directly in an outlet any longer, after hearing of outlet fires. I either use a First Alert Fire Shield cord, or an extension cord that can handle 1875 watts. (Using an extension cord that can't handle at least 1875 watts can also cause a fire.) This heater also sells under the brand names of Jarden, Sunbeam and Holmes.

Outstanding space heater. Much more heat than most other heaters. I think that is because it is just more efficient. . . All the power goes into generating heat, not a motor to oscillate the unit in different directions, like some space heaters. Have used it for several seasons now. No problems. Heats me and the room up very quickly. Sitting in front of it is like sitting in front of a warm and cozy fireplace. Only drawbacks are that it will dry out the room, there is no remote control, and the noise from the fan, while not terribly loud, is enough to keep light sleepers awake at night. I use this one when I want to warm the room up quickly, and then turn it off when I want to sleep, or just use a different model when I want a no-noise no-fan heater for sleeping.

Best Deals for Patton PQH307-UM Tower Quartz Heater with Adjustable Thermostat

This space heater by Patton does a great job of initially heating up relatively quickly (fifteen minutes or so) and even while it's "warming up" for the very first time it pushes hot air outward into the room you want to heat. True, it doesn't heat larger spaces but on the other hand it's great for heating rooms about the size of my bedroom (120 square feet).

Setup is nothing. Just plug it in and turn the temperature knob (the knob on the right) to one of two settings. I recommend the warmer setting at least initially and then you can lower it after you get the initial blast of heat. As for the other control knob on the left, I turned that all the way up to get the maximum blast of heat. Another plus is that the unit automatically turns off if it tips over or overheats so there doesn't seem to be a fire hazard here.

The heater makes some noise while it's working but it sounds like a fan and some people will definitely like this; that sound actually helps me go to sleep faster at night! If you're a light sleeper, however, this could be a negative.

The only disappointment I have is that the temperature control is just one of two settings; and neither setting is specified by degrees Fahrenheit.

I recommend this space heater by Patton, especially for heating smaller rooms. People who want to heat larger spaces would do well to continue looking for larger and more powerful space heaters.

Honest reviews on Patton PQH307-UM Tower Quartz Heater with Adjustable Thermostat

I used it mostly in the fall and winter time. It worked pretty well. The thing i like most was that it had a automatic cut off, if it ever gets knocked over. I have kids so that was a plus. It heats up pretty quick it doesnt work well in large rooms, but it works more so in bedrooms. I mean dont get me wrong itll heat an entire apartment (600sq ft.) but it wont be toasty just warm enough. I had to retire mine cause the power cord broke off at the very base of the machine. Maybe from being bent to much, not sure. But a good heater. My next one i want it to be more powerful.

I purchased this heater on the recommendation of my wife, who was using it while waitinf for a new furnace to be installed. And my wife said it keep two large rooms warm. I ordered it for myself, and WOW. This heater is worth the money. Even my dog loves it. It has quartz heating, and a fan to blow out hot air. So it really heats a good size room very quickly. The heater starts heating right away, and the heat is going full blast in about 2 minutes. It works very efficiently, and I usually use it on the low setting. The heater is light weight and easy to move around. I will be purchasing another one, because it just works so well. At such an affordable price. This heater can be summed up in just one simple word "awesome".

Best BISSELL Little Green ProHeat Turbo Carpet Cleaner, 1425B Deals

BISSELL Little Green ProHeat Turbo Carpet Cleaner, 1425B
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

Before I got this carpet cleaner, I bought the cordless Bissell Spot Lifter. I sent the Spot Lifter back because it would work only 5 minutes before you had to recharge the battery (12 hours). Even though Little Green isn't cordless, it is small and lightweight and works incredibly well.

We had old pet stains on our cream colored carpeting and since we got the Little Green, we've been able to get all of them up from the carpet. Whenever our dog creates other messes, we're able to take the cleaner out right away and clean it up without having to go through too many steps to get the Little Green ready for use. I would recommend this to anyone, especially those with pets and small children -I don't know why I didn't get this months before -its made a huge difference in the look of our carpet and well worth the price.

As others have stated it works well when it works. I was really happy with the way it cleaned. I especially liked the turbo brush. But when I went to use it for only the second time the sprayer wouldn't work a frequent complaint I understand. You don't have to be particularly handy to fix it. You need a screw driver, a pair of pliers and a paper clip. Unplug the machine. Take the four screws from the top out. Pull the top up. Underneath you will see a black box with 4 screws undo. Underneath the cover is heater box. Lift up and undo the 5 screws on the bottom. You will see what is causing the problem. You don't need to disconnect the wires. Release the clamps holding the plastic tubes with the pliers and gently remove the tubes. Use the paper clip, opened, to clean out the holes in the heater. It did not take long at all.

Folks, it isn't so much a design flaw, rather its as much a problem with the chemistry. Jets only get clogged if soap solutions are too concentrated, the water used is dirty, or some chemistry conspires to build up lime or sludge.

I have a proheat clearview upright... used it for over 3 years now. Noticed the spray wasn't as zippy for the past two years as I seemed to recall when we first bought it. Tonight, it wouldn't spray at all. Thought: bad belt, but the belt was fine. Thought: clogged sprayers (these are a bit larger than on your model), but they both were fine. Traced the lack of pressure all the way to the heater block in the neck of the beast. Called Bissell and a really nice rep kindly told me they aren't allowed to sell me that heater block. Something about insurance (blame your neighbors who are all to happy to sue at the drop of a hat -none of us here are that shallow, are we?)

Anyway -one of you told the story of the repair guy taking the heater apart. I never would have thought they made the thing servicable -but sure enough! I removed the heater carefully, marking all of the wire colors and which hose was which, flipped it over to find 7 screws holding a bottom plate. Carefully removed them so as not to damage the silicon seal or the 5 littel o-rings, took a toothbrush and scrubbed the soap goo out of the channels... one of the nozzles was choked closed, but a pipe cleaner and some patience got it looking nearly new. Carefully screwed it back together, tightening evenly -rebuilt the beast and it's cleaning like it hasn't in years. Probably piss off Bissell service shops by telling this, but maybe the handier of you will benefit.

Honest reviews on BISSELL Little Green ProHeat Turbo Carpet Cleaner, 1425B

After doing my research into carpet cleaners, I bought the bissell little green pro heat thinking that it looked like a great product. The heating option sounded great to me, hot water meant cleaner results right? Well, After having it for only one year, I have had to have it REPAIRED THREE TIMES! And after getting to watch the repairman take it apart and fix it he showed me exactly what was wrong with it. There is a metal box that the water passes through to heat it and if you use any soap in the water, the soap gets too hot and gums it up. Whe the repairman opened this box up, it was full of jelly like goo. This clogs up the sprayer, and you get no spray. It has to be taken completly apart to be fixed.It is VERY FRUSTRAITING! This happened three times to me, even after making sure I used only clean, filtered, plain water. The repairman said that he has had to repair several with the same problem. I suggest you buy another brand, or one without the heater. It has only been a source of frustration!

My husband is not the "chore type" so when he came home with this machine and set it up, I assumed he would leave it for me to do the actual work of cleaning up the many spots on our carpet. Imagine my surprise when he spent the next hour on his knees searching out every little stain and spill he could find in our four bedroom house -and attacking it. It truly is satisfying to see those stains disappear (even the oldest ones) with so little effort. For some time, I had been loath to call the carpet cleaners, since all they really do is pitch unwanted services, and, since their last visit, we had owned two dogs in rapid succession. You can imagine. Then there was the miracle it worked on the carpet areas of my minivan that aren't covered by mats. It even got the red drink up. I'm sold!

The plate is wonderful, it does the job just as advertised. The plate comes with instructions on recommended microwave time for the wattage of the microwave. My microwave is 1100 watts so I heated the plate for 1 minute, it was able to keep the food warm for over 45 minutes. A family member is a very slow eater (due to medical problems each meal takes a little over an hour not including dessert) and this plate was able to keep the food warm the entire time. Initially, I was looking for a metal platter/wood tray combo that restaurants use to serve fajitas or steaks to help keep food warm. I saw this and thought I would try it out; I am very glad I did. I think it is much better than the "sizzler" plates since:

1) it keeps food warm for a longer period of time.

2) it can be washed in dishwasher (some metal plates have to be hand-washed).

3) takes up less room in cabinet, do not have the hassle of metal plate and protective outer wood/plastic plate.

4) safer than metal plate since rim of this plate is safe to touch if you follow the instructions.

Plus, it is very pretty and neutral in design so fits with any decor. The only potential down side is that the plate is a little heavy, however, it is still lighter than the metal platter/protective tray combo. I am very impressed with this product and recommend it to everyone who likes their food hot. As I said, buy it and you won't be disappointed.

A big THANK YOU to the inventor for coming up with this product :)

I ordered two of these plates and did not overheat them in the microwave. I also hand washed to try and avoid the problems others had before me. Unfortunately, one of my plates lost it's seal and water got inside. I called and actually talked with Juan (the inventor) about the problem. He was very nice and quite willing to do whatever to make sure I was happy. I do not want to return the plates though as they truly do a better job of keeping food hot than anything I've ever tried. Juan told me I could try and reseal the seam with heat resistant silicon. This works and appears(so far) to solve the problem. I also realize, as my wife told me, that nobody wants to have to work on something you just paid good money for. Part of me is a natural handyman so I had to try and fix it first! Also, I was quite impressed with both Juan and his story of his startup company, so I wanted to try some possible solutions. After all, I want to keep and use the plates, and I also would love to be able to help Juan to make his venture a success. He told me he was partially disabled and this was both his dream and his only source of income. (Kind of a make it or break it situation for his family.) So in that light, if anybody would like the steps I've taken to try and fix this problem, email me at gregorysugg at gmail dot com and I'll be happy to send you an email with the info I've found out on what helps.

I put my HotSmart plate in the microwave today, and it came out with an enormous crack as long as 3/4 of the plate.

I bought mine several months ago and I've noticed that as time has gone by, I've had to heat it longer and longer in the microwave to get it to stay warm.

The other commenters who pointed out how ugly the bottom of the HotSmart plate is are right the creator responded that the back of a refrigerator is ugly too, and that doesn't matter. Um... but you *see* the bottom of these plates, you don't see the back of a fridge. Before the plate cracked it worked fine, but yes, it's ugly. I would have no problem with this, but all of the literature on Amazon, the product's website, and that comes with the HotSmart plate SCREAMS AT YOU IN ALL CAPS about how this is elegant china that can be used for formal dining. Um... no, it can't. If it could, the creator wouldn't have compared it to the back of a fridge. At its best it is useful and hospital-looking.

Like I said the HotSmart plate does stay warm, but it's too fragile for regular use. Mine chipped a little right off the bat so I've always been extremely gentle with it, but if it cracks from regular microwave use, it's not well-made.

Also it seems like an intentional typo that it's labeled HotSmart Plates (plural). You only get one it should be HotSmart Plate (singular).

Hubby and I finally got to using our InstaHot plates tonight. First off, THANK YOU for creating this product. We love them. Really. As recent WLS patients (both hubby and myself), we have to eat our meals over about 20 minutes. I take a bit longer than he does. One of my biggest pet peeves since having surgery is all my hot food is cold after about 10 minutes. I like my food to be hot while I eat it.

So in come InstaHot plates. We were so thrilled to find them. I have to say, at $15 a piece, I was a bit trepidatious about the purchase. You're talking to someone who has an entire set of plates from IKEA for less than the two plates we ordered and we use those cheap plates every day. I can say, now that I've used the InstaHot plates, the $15 was a small price to pay to keep my food hot through my dinner. And that they did.

The plates, as advertised, stayed cool on the rim, and the base and plate area was hot. After 20+ minutes of eating, my fish stayed hot, but was not overcooked, dry or overheated. I figured we'd try the plates with fish first, as it's very easy to overcook trout, but the plates did exactly as advertised and kept the food steadily hot throughout the meal without any further cooking or, as said, drying out.

The plates are a bit heavy, and (unless I missed it) the instructions are a bit sketchy on care and cleaning. We hand washed our plates after letting them cool for a little over an hour. If you're not used to grabbing your plates by the rim, you'll have to get used to that. I had to keep telling myself to not put my hand under the plate itself. I should note, however, that the hot plates did not damage my table or where the plates were set after heating and through dinner.

The quality of the plates is high and the plates are neutral.

Overall, a great product. The customer service from the inventor/vendor has been excellent. I look forward to this product line expanding.

EDITED-I write this edit sheepishly, but believe in telling the truth, and it may help another consumer. After the initial event that created the rant below I decided to try and fix the unit myself. When I unplugged the heater and placed it on the work bench I noticed a small vent like structure above the main intake screen on the back. I have been very good about cleaning the large removable screen but never noticed the smaller grate/screen right above it. It appears this may be where a temp/intake air sensor may reside. Bottom line is that my heaters sensor was completely covered with dust. I vacuumed it off with a vacuum brush attachment and tried plugging in, and turning on the unit one more time. Guess what? It seems to work perfectly now including reading the correct ambient air temperature. I'm a little red faced about this but felt I had to return here with the truth. I'm fairly convinced that the dust had sufficiently covered the sensor enough to cause erroneous readings that led to the unit shutting off. I have gone back and given this unit a "Like It" rating of four stars, not because I was wrong, but because it's functioning perfectly. There's the truth and nothing but.

ORIGINAL-Well, well, well, what do you know!? Another fine hunk of crap built in crap land! I purchased this product through Amazon in September of this year and it died this morning, Dec 19th 2012. This product was carefully taken out of the box, all instructions were followed, and it was placed in a living area of my home with no environmental strains placed on it in any way i.e. moisture, wind, or items placed on top of it. It worked just like it was supposed to until about three days ago. I noticed that the temperature setting would read a higher temperature than it actually was, when I first turned it on. Today when I entered the room where the unit is, the reading on the display said 79 and the unit wasn't running. I tried setting the adjustments per the instructions with no results. I tried unplugging and then plugging the unit back in several times with no results. Bottom line...this thing is F'ed! I haven't even thought about trying to call Duraflame. Like I have that kind of time? Like I should have to in the first place? I will try to fix it myself rather than contact the vendor(based on another persons review of their customer service). What a waste of money.

Its funny when you are shopping heaters and reading all the reviews. It seams like every heater has a good and a bad story. I bought a heater like this at a local store. It was the display model and I did not get the remote. My heater heats around 800 sg ft no problem. I live in a country house that is about 1600 sq ft. The house has a propane furnace and the heating bill for my first year prior to buying this heater was around 2000 gallons of propane. Last year I only purchased 500 gallons and I still have 250 gallons that I didnt use. To make a long story short. I will be buying another one of the identical heaters today to heat my entire house.. Most likely my propane bill will only change slightly since most of my usage last year was for cooking. Any product is going to have flaws or defects so with that being said I would highly recommend purchasing this heater. Ohh and my electric bill only changed 50 more bucks during the peak season

it's the most reasonably priced device to keep the water unfrozen for the chickens and it's so easy to use their water through a 5 gallon bucket with nipples on it and you just drop it in and plug it in and it works beautifully

Honest reviews on Farm Innovators H-4810 Economical Floating De-Icer For Metal Tanks

I purchased this to replace my old water heater for one of my horse troughs, and it works fine but what brilliant engineer decided to bring the cord out of the bottom? A minor criticism ,but it never floats flat since the cord comes out of the bottom. Also, although the cord never touches the coil underneath it is pretty close to it.

This unit is supposed to be able to cool 550 sq ft but can't get my ~450 sq ft space down past 75, even at night when everything has cooled down outside! I'd be better off opening my window and putting the fan back in. Needless to say I am returning this and digging my old, heavy window air conditioner out of storage that actually works.

The unit came in and the packaging was not damaged, however, the exhaust piece that goes in the window was already broken. Apparently from the factory. That was the least of the problems come to find out.

I get home and hear a noise that sounds as if a chainsaw is battling a garbage disposal in the house. I ask the girlfriend what that noise is, but she can't hear me becasue the noise is that loud. It was ridiculous. The air coming from the unit was cold, but the noise was unbearable. There is no possible way people could use this machine at night while attempting to sleep without using earplugs.

We already have a LG portable air conditioner and it sounds like a baby sleeping compared to the Honeywell unit.

To find out if the machine was supposed to make that racket, I emailed the company and have yet to hear anything back.

I rarely return anything, chalking most bad purchases up to a learning experience, however, this machine is no bueno.

Ok so this air conditioner... heard a lot of bad things about it. This was AFTER we bought it, and then right when we got it 2 days later we started seeing bad reviews on it. Now then onto the review. First day owning this we had some problems. First of all, it is true that it wouldn't go past 75 degrees. (we waited for like 3 hours and it was still stuck at 75.)HOWEVER we had a stroke of genious. We put a small square board under the AC,and within 2 hours it was down to almost 70 degrees from 80 HUGE improvement. Second of all we did have a problem with water leaking everywhere... HOWEVER this also had a simple solution my father took out a black cap in the lower back of the AC and placed a tube in it to vent the water. water goes into a jug... PROBLEM SOLVED no water leaking all over the wooden board. There is VERY little water in the jug (infact checking it now there is NO water anywhere in the jug, on the carpet, OR on the board. I say if your having problems with it and you have a carpet floor get a square board, and place the board under the AC. You'll see an improvement in your AC cooling productivity. I hope this helped many of you with the same problem we have.

I've had this a/c unit since may-2013, it is almost august-2013.

I don't usually review stuff but, I feel this a/c is getting unfairly treated.

the first day I had that same problem with water getting everywhere, I wasn't sure why there was so much especially when most of the water was supposed to be vented out in the exhaust supposedly. Second I had the problem with the temperature not really going below a certain temperature.

So, after messing with the control's, and failing. I decided to consult the manual, it told me that all I had to do was make sure it was on the little ice icon, not on the one it was originally defaulted to. I honestly thought this was the correct setting in the first place, but I guess I never gave it chance. This solved both my temperature issue and my water issue. I don't have to put any kind of drain on my a/c and at night it has easily hit 72 ( had it set on 71). It also says that on the fan setting it acts like a dehumidifier and that is when the reservoir fill and that is when you need to add your little drain pipe(this was the setting it was set on). I forget there is like two more settings.

There is one other thing with this a/c and pretty much all other portables that I've seen, even though they vent out most of the moisture, some times depending on how humid it gets you might need to empty out the top reservoir( I think there is some warning that lets you know though). This has never happened to me and I live in Houston, Texas it is extremely humid, with average humidity levels sitting around 78 and above and temperature that have hit 104 degrees F.

Last thing about portable a/c's is on average they cool about 100 sqft. less than window units(as per btu). ( like a 14000 btu window unit will cool about 550 sqft. so a 14000 btu portable unit will cool 450 sqft.) so when you going to buy a portable unit keep that in mind.

Didn't cool well at all! Tried it for 3 days, finally around 2am it would get down to 76 degrees, but then as the day got hotter, so did the room, during the day, it would only cool to 85! Very disappointed, read reviews before I bought and they all seemed positive, even spoke with Honeywell wondering if I had a lemon, they said very unlikely, so I returned it.

Lasko 5129 Oscillating Ceramic Pedestal Heater Reviews

Had this product running during the night, with the automatic temperature control on. Very quiet and heats the room well. The oscillation is nice and smooth. Works Pretty good, as of now.

I noticed the 1-star review about the blown fuse and hot wire. Maybe they should check the wiring in their house, because my fuse hasn't blown and like I mentioned, I had it running all night on high at 71 degrees.

I live in a mobile home, and this is a really good heater. I will definitely cut back on fuel costs! It is really quite, and has a bunch of different settings that are great.

The heater was super easy to put together and is able to keep my whole downstairs warm. Even when set to high it is surprisingly quiet.

Honest reviews on Lasko 5129 Oscillating Ceramic Pedestal Heater

I bought two of these to put in my kids' rooms at night. They have small rooms and I set the thermostat so that it turns itself on and off automatically. Be aware that when they are running they are hot to the touch. Now I can turn down the thermostat at night. My electricity bill has gone up, but my gas bill has gone down considerably and my kids stay warm at night. The best part is that now I don't have to sweat through the night!

I've had 3 of these heaters since early 2009. I've used them in a variety of settings continuous heating, temperature set, etc. After four years, I am a very happy customer!

Pro:

-Very efficient -heats a 10x10 feet room from 50F to 65F in 5 minutes

-Temperature setting -you can set a desired temperature and it will regulate itself around that temp

-Timer -you can set a timer for 1-7 hours in one-hour increments, so you don't have to wonder if you've turned it off when you leave the room

-Remote -it is a surprisingly important convenience, when I'm in bed I can start the heater a few minutes before I get up, and the room is nice and toasty. I hate getting out of bed into a cold room.

-Small footprint -the pedestal base is small, which makes an easy fit inside a closet during the summer (the bottom also disassembles easily if you really want to save on space)

-Safety -it shuts off if it is toppled over, and the front grill is not too hot (so if you or a child touch it, it won't burn the skin)

Cons:

-I suppose someone could make a comment about the appearance of the heater, but I usually don't care about the "beauty" of a product that does its job great

FYI:

-Sound level -this is not a silent heater. It sounds like a small fan, well because it has a fan inside.

Overall, great product that I'm very happy to recommend.

I'm quite pleased with my order of the Optimus F8502 twin head fan. It arrived quickly and it was well-packaged. The simple assembly of it only took me a few short minutes. And during the recent triple digit days here in Texas and the humid nights, my new Optimus fan worked like a breeze. No pun intended.
