I purchased this model because it was the only heater I could find that lets you set a temperature. Most other electrical heaters are simply "low, medium, or high" heat. I wanted something I could set at 55 degrees for my garage and just know that it was working without having to switch it on and off. It's just like the thermostat on your wallset it and forget it.

The first unit I purchased did not work. There is a big sticker on it that says, "if unit does not work, DO NOT take it back to the store, call 1-800-xxx-xxxx" so I called the number. What a waste of time. They asked me when I bought it (an hour ago) and then told me to take it back to the store. That sticker needs to go.

The local store that sold me the unit is really good about exchanges and I tried out the replacement unit in the store before taking it home.

The unit radiates heat nicely. It is good for heating large spaces slowly and consistently. I read that "oil filled" units like this one are really just a gimmick. They aren't more energy efficient than non oil filled varieties but the oil does continue to radiate some heat after the unit has turned off, providing a more consistent heat during "on/off" cycles but does not provide energy savings.

When the unit is first used it does produce some smoke and odorthis is not uncommon for these types of heaters because the manufacturers put a protective lubricant coating on the heating surfaces to protect it during shipping. The fumes from burning this off is potentially toxic to birds. If you own birds you should run it outside or away from birds for the first few hours. This is good advice for any type of brand new device that gets hot.

Unfortunately, if the unit loses power (gets unplugged or the power goes out) it defaults to being OFFmeaning it will not turn on again until it is re-programmed. For this reason the unit cannot be used to heat an unattended location. Many people buy heaters and set them at 40 degrees to keep the pipes in unoccupied areas from freezing. This unit cannot be used in such a location as it can't be "trusted" to remain on.

If I could have found a different heater with 1) a temperature thermostat that 2) doesn't forget it's supposed to work after a power interruption, I would have. I would not buy another one of these units.

Pros: Programmable thermostat

Cons: Questionable reliability, defaults to "off" if power interrupted.

Based on what I read, I thought this heater had a programmable timer that would allow me to set it to come on every morning at a given time and then shut offin a couple hours. The timer function is an extremely primitive couontdown timer that only allows you to set 1-10 hours before it turns on or 1-10 hours before it shuts off. You cannot have both active and you cannot set a clock timer for on or off. It works well enough, the description was just not complete and was a tad misleading.

Bought this heater two winters ago to heat a room in our house that isn't used often and doesn't have its own heat. This unit has kept the room at a regular 65 degrees two winters in a row. I appreciate being able to set the temperature and walk away. There's no 'high' 'medium' 'low' and guessing what temp is going to come out, I want 60 or 65 degrees, that's what I get. When guests stay in that room, they can have 71 degrees if they so desire and have been shocked at how quickly it heated up. I also LOVE the digital display.

I'm writing this review because I'm about to purchase my second unit for one of our basement rooms that could use a little extra heat. We live in the Pacific Northwest which doesn't get super cold, but the dampness will ruin your house and furnishings if it isn't kept in check!

Don't forget to read the users manual so you know how to properly set the temp, as that's the only thing which isn't clearly evident. If you're reading this, I guarantee you can read how to set the temp in a jiffy!

Honest reviews on Comfort Zone® Digital Electric Oil Filled Radiator Heater CZ9009

I have other oil filled radiators that I use to supplement my heat in certain areas of the house as I do not have zoned heating in my 90+ year old house. I like the temperature readout on the radiator, however as someone pointed out in low light it is hard to read. I use a flashlight to check it. It arrived much quicker than I expected and with no packing issues. My only complaint,which is probably my fault for assuming all oil filled radiators are the same, is the lowest setting is 900 watts not 600 watts like the other ones I have. My other radiators have a 600 and 900 watt setting and with both on it totals the same 1500 watt max. You would want to use in a larger room to justify the higher usage. (my other ones are in bathrooms.)

Review of Frigidaire FRA10EHT2 10,000 BTU Through-the-Wall Room Air

I bought this to replace a failed unit in an addition to my house. This room is not on the ductwork for the central A/C, so it needs its own unit.

This model is slightly wider than my old unit, so I also replaced the sleeve (EA108T). This is a through-the-wall mount and requires a sleeve, though if there is an existing sleeve and it's large enough, you can use that. The unit comes with a new grill for the back of the sleeve, and various foam pieces to apply to the sleeve to make the unit fit. Note that you must remove any existing grill or plate from the back of the sleeve.

Mounting the sleeve in the wall is the hard part; the A/C itself just slides in. Both the A/C and heat work fine.

As with any heavy item, it's prone to being damaged by the delivery company. Inspect it carefully and file a complaint if it's damaged. The box for mine had some dings in it, but the unit itself was fine.

We ordered this for a renovated garage apartment. I thought it was like most air conditioning units. The fan runs constantly, but the compressor kicks on when needed. This unit does not do this, the fan turns off and on along with the compressor. The off and on is VERY annoying while either sleeping or watching TV. It is a CONSTANT battle of the noise. I would not purchase this item if you do either of these in the same room.

Had one issue: Power cable to the blower fan was loose and hanging into fan blades. Took cover off to and reattached cable with cable ties. The factory cable hook is very poorly made and will not hold cable during shipping. Unit is quiet and heats/cools well.

This requires a 250v 20amp fuse and dedicated circuit. The plug is NEMA 6-20, which has one flat vertical, one flat horizontal and one round prong. The outlet has to match in both configuration and volt/amp. I happen to have a 20amp fuse/circuit even though the old air conditioner was using a 15 amp plug/outlet, so I can change the outlet without any issues but I got lucky. If I had a fuse/dedicated circuit that was 15 amp I would be calling an electrician to replace it.

I ordered two of these, one arrived too damaged to install very poorly handled. It is packed correctly, someone just plain dropped it on the far back corner of the unit and that took all of the weight. Ruined it through the styrofoam packing. They are taking "48-72 hours" to decide if I should get a replacement, which translates into 6-9 working days or around two weeks. In the meantime, that particular room is not inhabitable.

The second unit runs fine, and it comes with a remote which I was not expecting, but the water collects in a pool in the bottom pan and you hear water dripping throughout use. There is no apparent drain so it has nowhere to go. Dripping water is not a favorite sound of mine. I have combed through the manufacturer's documentation and can't find any reference to how the water should drain out, except that the unit has to be slanted back so that water flows in that direction.

People have been making and selling room air conditioners for quite a while now. You'd think they would have this all down by now.

This air conditioner was easy to install. It works great and cools our entire master bedroom, bathroom, and the adjoining room.

Great heater unless you live above 4500 feet. Not recommended above 4500 feet as the pilot will not stay on. This is the same with all these type of heaters

I have had this LP heater in operation for a few weeks. It has definitely served the purpose that I expected. I have a similar heater made by a different company. When comparing the two, I have to say that this heater has some odor do it whereas the other does not. It puts out the heat properly and other than the odor, I am completely satisfied.

My husband and I put this unit in our new living room. It is not the most attractive unit but it certainly keeps our 840 square foot living room very comfortable. We had been advised to not purchase the stand to go with this so my husband built a stand that works very well. We like that there is no electricity required to run this as there are times when our power is out for extended periods of time and we don't have to worry about getting too cold. Great product for the price!

This heater is great, its simple to install being well worth the money, our home was costing 300-400 a month using an 80% efficient furnace and now we are doing the job for 150.00 a month in gas. We purchased the fan kit for it and I love how that fan cools the whole thing down after the burner shuts off. The burner is automatic and the fan kit is too, some you adjust the settings for hi or low burners but this unit actually turns the gas on/off.

Our lives have changed as a result of having this heater. At this very moment, I can feel it on my back. It is a no brainer if you need an extra heat source. Wonderful! It heats (very comfortably) about 1000 square feet. I know it can do more but that is how much we have it keeping warm.

Great little heater.

Only wish it had a thermostat like the larger ones.

On the little trailer I am using it for heat, the low setting

is warmer than I need unless the weather is really cold.

I can get by if I turn the control down below the low setting,

but you have to be careful to check that the flame is

burning blue, not yellow or orange.

Great little heater and as such --should come in a variety of colors. Blue flame is as pictured and makes warmth a new meaning..

Dimensions to mount from flamable sources as specified in received paperwork would be useful in the add writeup, especially online..

The wall mount and hookup was easy needing only a screwdriver, hammer, and small crescent wrench. The dual fuel setting was easy to get to and would turn using a downward push and finger turn to either NG or LP setting...

Best price I found anywhere and as long as you know it does not have a thermostat it is a steal. Quiet and efficient and never shut down from oxygen problems. Ran it 24 hours a day for over 2 months this winter and all ok.

Reviews of Intermatic FF6H 6-Hour Spring Loaded Wall Timer, Brushed Metal

Customer Ratings:

Description says brushed metal but it is really plastic. Face plate is also a bit oversized. Probably fine for single box/plate installation, but my application was in a double plate switch cover and this plate would not work with double plate. Older timer models bought before had a smaller plate that sit into indent where normal toggle switch sat. They were also white, not brushed metal color. Fortunately I was upgrading my 60 minute timer to this 6 hour timer, so I relabeled the numbers on my old smaller white 60 minute timer plate to work. Otherwise timer works great.

It is functional and does the job intended. I did not like the plastic face plate and the product description said it was metal. You should change the product description online.

I would give it 5 stars but the FACE PLATE in Plastic, NOT BRUSHED METAL as advertised. I think seller should change description as others have complained and nothing is done about it. The only way to get someone's attention is to rate it low. Product is fine, No instructions included. And as I stated, Plastic NOT metal.

I got this for my patio in Costa Rica and the people there usually leave the lights on 24/7 since during the day, they don't realize the lights are on. It gets dark around 6 year around in C.R. and with the 6 hour timer, it tells them to get to bed and not stay up all night playing. Overall a great timer and great invention. I have owned many of these over the years and I have found the longer the maximum time interval, the shorter the life of the timer. This is my first 6 hour timer. Let's see how it last compared to a 12 hour timer.

I purchased this as a replacement wick to a new heater, purchased at the begining of this winter season. The wick stopped working very quickly and just seemed like a poor wick. I followed the book direction for replacement and this wick has burned evenly and put out good heat. Seems like this wick will last a lot longer than the original.

New wick arrived quickly from World Marketing in sealed package with instructions. The instructions matched the ones that came with my heater exactly in case you have lost your manual! Installation is a little tricky but went smoothly. The wick is an exact replacement and fit perfectly.
