The thermostat is rated at a max of 7.4 amps so will only support a 1750W heater. This won't work for my heater and it would have been nice to know when ordering it.

In response to the 2 main problems other reviewers report with this product, my experience is that they can be resolved with minimal effort.

3/4 inch threads not sealing. I had no problem with this. I used thread tape, wrapped around the male fittings 4-5 complete turns, CLOCKWISE (important). I then threaded my fittings into the housing until they seated against the housing (my fittings have a collar), tight but not ridiculously tight. No leaks under normal household water pressure.

10 inch filters not fitting into housing. I purchased Culligan 20 micron filters and Purenex 5 micron filters. Purchased the Purenex because Amazon was out of the Culligan 5 micron. The Culligan filters are 9 5/8 inch long and have hard plastic caps on each end. The Purenex are 10 inch long and do not have any caps at the ends, they are all "filter". Needing to use the 5 micron, I inserted the 10 inch Purenex into the housing and screwed the base into the top and yesthe filter seems to be too long for the housing. I continued to screw the housing together, a little forceful, until the 2 pieces seated together. I encountered no leaks here either. I then checked the filter to see if it was crushed or distorted and it was not. Thus I think one can use 10 inch filters, they just need to be screwed on more tightly and the filter will conform. Also, as another posted; you could easily cut the filter shorter.

Very happy with the housing, made well, does exactly what I need; which is to pre-filter for a smaller micron filter in our roof-fed cistern water system.

I am using this filter for all of the water coming into our trailer at a seasonal campground, in a "whole house" type configuration. Not sure exactly what was in the water, but it had a distinct taste and smell, and when boiling water for pasta, it would turn orange. After running water through it for only a minute, I removed it and looked at the filter and it had captured a surprising amount of "orange stuff". The filter does not seem to slow our water pressure at all.

The only issue I have with this filter, which I saw mentioned by other reviewers, is that when screwing in a standard 3/4" plumbing fitting into the filter, you need to use A LOT of teflon tape so that it does not leak. I had to put on teflon tape, put together, test, see leak, and repeat a number of times.

There's one flaw that makes the Culligan HF-150A unusable, at least for me: The NPT threads for the inlet and outlet are cut incorrectly and do not work well with standard fittings.

As everyone knows, NPT threads are cut on a taper, so that the pieces snug into each other as you tighten. Both threads on this filter are cut too large. When you try to screw in standard NPT compression fittings, the fittings bottom out before becoming acceptably snug. (I wasn't even using a wrench; I was tightening them by hand!)

I discovered this while I was dry fitting everything, and without thread tape. However, several professional plumbers at the local plumbers' supply house agreed that all was not right with this unit. They tell me that one would expect that the fittings should get snug well before bottoming out, even without thread tape.

One plumber at the supply house suggested I kludge it with LOTS of thread tape, and maybe a water hose gasket; others suggested trashing this unit and getting a "good" one. Not wanting to kludge or experiment, I went with the latter suggestion ditched this filter.

Note: The instructions talk about using a "BF-34" fitting kit to install this. Perhaps the only fittings that work with this are the BF-34 fittings. I don't know. As I said above, I gave up on this filter.

Whatever filter you end up using, I suggest putting a cut-off valve on *BOTH* sides of it; that will make filter changes much easier. Being able to isolate the filter on both sides, you won't have to turn off the water supply on the inlet, and won't have the rest of the plumbing draining on your face through the outlet.

Caveat emptor.

This one is solid, does not leak and said to last 10 years. I used PVC fittings w/ teflon tape, don't know about copper or plastic. The clear housings are more likely to crack or leak so I read. You need to shop around for the right filter. This one takes 9 & 3/4" not the 10".

Living in the northern US, the long heating season invariably leaves my back dry and itchy. A similarly-afflicted friend and I were joking around, speculating on how one might design an item to apply moisturizing lotion to hard-to-reach areas, and spotted this item online.

I'll admit, I was skeptical about products like this. Are they effective? Wouldn't they be messy? Some offer replaceable applicator pads, but who wants to keep buying refills? Roll A Lotion has all of these concerns covered.

Unscrew the floating-ball head and load in your favorite lotion, cream, gel. Apply.

I've used mine for a couple of weeks, and it works perfectly. Nineteen rolling balls apply a nice even layer of lotion, no mess, no fuss. Thicker lotions work wonderfully; I use Curel. Keep in the shower for quick moisturizing after toweling off. To clean, remove the applicator head and rinse under the faucet.

Your back (or any other hard-to-reach part of your choosing) will thank you.

It really does work, but I've had 2 of them and the handle plastic keeps breaking. It gets stressed when the application ball piece is screwed on and then breaks.

I'll be looking for some other kind of applicator.

I bought this applicator in the hopes that my Mother, who lives alone would find some relief from dry skin on her back. Well, she is thrilled. The applicator is easy to use and applies just the right amount of lotion to feel comfortable, and not "Slathered with grease". I am also pleased with the delivery time and responsiveness of the company who sells the applicators-Wellhaven Gifts for Seniors. While I cannot comment on the durablility of the handle, as stated in an earlier review, I am hopeful that if there is a problem, it will be well handled by Wellhaven.

Honest reviews on Roll-A-Lotion Applicator

I used one of these on and off for about 6 months. It is very poorly constructed. And it does not work well anyway. The lotion is not applied well. The balls do not roll very well. some of the lotion dries up and then the balls get stuck. I got frustrated with it and left it, but then decided to try it again. I was still very disappointed. Then a piece of the side wall just broke off. I decided then I've had enough of the crap and threw it away. I would not recommend this product it all. I wouldn't even want it for free.

Over half of the roller balls were 'frozen' solid and would not turn ...I used abrasive cloth and got a few to rotate ... but many just won't roll.

The product design, production and quality control are all so low as to make the product impossible to use.

I bought this model heater from Costco. My only previous experience with space heaters is the radiating dish, and couple of no frill ones in 1990s.

This one delivers heat within 10 seconds of powering on. Temperature can be controlled (85 degree seems to be the max and 65 the minimum). The unit has a swivel base supports 90 degree oscillation. There is a fan mode and an "Eco smart" mode, which supposedly help save some electricity.

The unit is rated 1500 watts. I can veryify with a watt-meter. Upong starting up, it can go as high as 1800 watts, but gradually stabilized somewhere around 1450 for high heat or custom temperature setting, and around 800 watts for low heat. The energy savings mode cycles back and forth between high and low heat, but I haven't been able to get an average reading from my watt meter.

The fan is not quiet, but not loud either. It's constant and soothing enough which can be treated as background white noise.

Overall it's an effective heater next to me while I'm working. You might find a better price somewhere else.

My daughter purchased this at Costco for me for Christmas. The oscillating feature stopped working in just 2 weeks. Returned to Costco for replacement as I really liked the heating (I type all day for work). A few times I have noticed a burnt smell and turned the heater to low. Today while working, I turned to high and within 5 minutes heard a terrible sizzling sound and now no heat on any cycle. Hopefully Costco will give us our money back.

I bought this at Costco about 2 weeks ago and it has worked 2 nights total. I have tried switching plugs, outlets, a more level location, unplugging it, reset it, nothing has worked. I'm in the process of returning it, not sure whether to return to Bionaire or Costco. Bionaire will replace with another similar heater, I'm concerned Costco will just give me another one of these.

This is the second fan from this manufacturer that I have purchased. The first fan was purchased 10 years ago and still is running and quiet. I bought the second fan to help with circulating the air from my heater to the other rooms in my house. These fans run all winter long (6 months). I have even used these fans when it gets to hot in the summer to help cool the house. I can't think of anything bad to write about these fans. They are quiet, durable, hardly noticeable when mounted. These fans are well worth the money paid up front. For the length of time they last, the cost is cheap. I would recommend these to anyone interested in wanting to buy a fan to help circulate the heat down your halls and into the other rooms in your house.

Best Deals for Hi-Tek Oak Ridge Circulating Fan System

We've had five of the Oak Ridge circulating fans over the years. Unfortunately, they don't last more than two years before they slow down and then stop altogether. We have a pellet stove and I'm assuming that it's dust from the stove that gums it up (I'm not sure why because the fan is located about 25 feet from the stove). I can't find any way of disassembling the unit to clean/lube it. I've tried forced air and electrical contact cleaner and neither freed it up. Why have we bought 4-5 of them? All but one unit has been exceptionally quiet and they run great until they seize up. At $40 a pop, it's a little expensive, but we haven't found a quieter unit on the market. If we do, we'll see if it can hold up longer than the Oak Ridge. Our latest fan started slowing down the other night and now it has stopped altogether. NOTE: The one unit that was noisy still runs, so we usually use it until we buy a new one.

The fan feels heavy and sturdy. It is quiet and moves a lot of air. Our wood stove is in the basement and we have two upper floors. It raised the temperature upstairs by several degrees. We run it constantly and we hardly notice the noise. We are happy with the product.

Update:

We ran the fan now constantly for about 4 month, all winter long. It has been going day and night with no problems. Still very happy with it.

This is a good little fan. Easy to mount and has a switch. In a perfect world I'd like to have a white cord. It moves the air well but, it is not quiet. In reality, any fan that is that small and moving 55 cfm is going to make noise. You just can't expect it to be quiet. It raised the temp in my far hallway by 5 degrees and that's what I wanted. Good product.

Cheap CBTL LM-145P Milk Frother

Customer Ratings:

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a handy little milk frother/heater that works quickly and quietly. The latter quality was a surprise to me, as milk steamer are so noisy. It's really nice in the morning when the rest of the family is still asleep to be able to make a latte quietly. My one beef with it is that it doesn't hold very much only about 6-8 ounces so if you want a bigger drink than that, you have to froth/heat the milk twice. Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to store.

I am completely loving this milk frother so far. It was a gift for my husband and I was a bit wary when I found this frother at Bed Bath and Beyond... (mine is black instead of white) I hadn't heard of the brand and almost returned it for one on amazon with more reviews... however, for the week we've had it, its been wonderful. You just pour in milk or half and half... I guess whatever you want and it immediately froths... its thick and creamy and actually stays that way for awhile so you can enjoy it with multiple cups of coffee... You can't throw it in the dishwasher, and I was a bit worried about that at first, but its really easy to clean by filling it with water, rinsing it and filling it again then pressing the button... The booklet even recommends using a drop of soap, but I haven't done that.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The only fault I can find with this product is that it does not make cold froth for summertime coffee drinks. Therefore the 4 star rating... I would give it 5 if it frothed cold milk too. It only warms milk, or makes warm froth for hot coffee drinks, but it does that very well. You have a choice of making a small amount or more, in nothing flat! It even turns itself off when ready. I just tried it with my own brewed coffee making it stronger than usual as I did not have the expresso or any of the pre-mixed packets that CBTL sells. I need sugar-free so I added some flavoring, cinnamon and sweetener and was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted :D I am the only one in this household who likes frothed/sugar free so this will be perfect for me or any of my visiting guests who like the "skinny lattes."

It couldn't be easier to use, fast clean-up, just rinse the inside & dry. I find myself warning "helpers" not to immerse the product in dishwater that is a pain but it stores nicely and is very sturdy and heavy, not flimsy. Mine arrived in white, not black, as labeled on the packing slip, which would've matched my other appliances, but performance wise, I can't complain. My CBTL milk frother was provided by Amazon's Vine Program for my online unbiased review of this new product.

This would make a great gift for a single person or even the elderly, it is that easy to use :)

Honest reviews on CBTL LM-145P Milk Frother

This frother is great! I like foamed milk with my coffee drinks and a dollop of whipped cream on top. It's as easy as pouring the milk up to the line inside the frother, twisting the cap on (it only locks one way), plugging it in and pushing the button. 90 seconds later it shuts itself off and you have perfect foamy, warm milk. My skim milk scorched a little on the bottom of the frother but the non-stick lining is VERY non-stick and I wiped it right out with a wet paper towel.

(I have this in the black version, same model).

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The CBTL is solidly constructed, heavyish, and creates good quality warm, frothy milk (or just plain warm milk.) However, even though it warms and froths milk well, I cannot give it 5 stars (or even 4). For starters, it cannot produce cold frothed milk. Secondly, the unit produces a relatively paltry 4 ounces of frothed milk. Thirdly, the lid is overly complex because it contains the motor and the frother is physically attached to it. There is no submersing the lid to clean it. In fact, one should be very careful cleaning lid so as not ruin it with soapy water. Fourth, the pitcher and base are one unit. Again, with electronics in the base, it is difficult to adequately clean the pitcher. It is easy for water to inadvertently go where it should not go when cleaning the base. Fifth, the unit has to cool down between frothings. So much for frothing two batches of milk back to back. The limited capacity of the pitcher means one can produce frothed milk for one or two cups of coffee or whatever.

I have used many frothers from the plunger style manual frothers by Bodum to the Aerolatte to this CBTL. The CBTL is most similar to the Keurig frother I used to own. Actually, I owned two of the Keurigs. Both of them simply stopped working. The Keurig and CBTL both share the similar flawed design of a one piece pitcher/heater and a lid with a frothing motor and frother attached.

There is one one frother, though, which stands far above the others. It is the:B003LXY2HA Capresso frothPRO]]. The Capresso pitcher is free of electric parts, the lid has no motor, it has a large capacity, can produce both warm and cold frothed milk, is incredibly easy to clean, and is priced well.

So: the CBTL is a very nice unit. But as long as the Capresso is available, it would be difficult to make the CBTL one's first choice.

And one more thing, the description says the CBTL is made in Italy. My unit is clearly marked "made in China".
