Best New EdenPURE Infrared Heater US1000 Deals

New EdenPURE Infrared Heater US1000
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
I have a medium open living/dining area with high ceilings. I, like most wanted something to help with the heating costs. This machine worked well during the day when I had it running on high with the fireplace going and would warm the room to 70-71 degrees. At night, I put the central gas heat on 64, turned off the fireplace and left the Edenpure running on high. When I woke up, the room was 64, just as I had set the thermostat on the central heat. So needless to say, it did not work at all as the main heat was kicking on. I also do not like the fact that there is no digital thermostat but just several lines to indicate the level of heat and there is no timer. I actually have ordered another similar unit from Home Depot that has both of these features, has two more additional heating elements and is supposed to heat up a 1500 sq foot room and only cost $259 with free shipping. And of course the added bonus of being able to return it directly to the local store if I do not like it. This Edenpure I purchased is rated to heat 1000 sq feet. So, I personally cannot recommend this product.

Consumer Reports, February 10, 2010:

Heating Claims Don't Add Up

Manufacturers of electric space heaters want you to believe that using one of their devices will lower your heating bill. Lowering your home's thermostat(s) and using your main heating system less in tandem with a space heater--called zone heating--will cut your utility bill. (Every degree you lower the thermostat(s) can save you about 2 percent on your heating bill.) But keep in mind that based on current national average prices and adjusting for the energy losses due to burning a fuel, heating with electricity is about two and a half times more expensive than heating with gas, the most common heating fuel in this country.

EdenPure suggests that "you can turn the heat down in your house as low as 50°F, yet the room you are in will be warm and comfortable. When you move to another room, the EdenPure goes with you. Its wheels make relocation a snap." That scenario assumes that you have to heat only a single room to heat at a time or that you own multiple EdenPure space heaters; that once you're in a room you stay put and don't move around the house; and that you're willing to keep the rest of your home at a chilly 50°F. Lowering the thermostat(s) by 3°F would likely result in minimal discomfort for you and your family, but are you willing to keep your home at 50°F?

...Its design essentially negates the radiant-heating effect, so it operates more like a typical fan-forced convection heater. While a fan can help mix the room air, there is typically some temperature variation, with cooler air near the floor and warmer air near the ceiling.

Humidity Information Seems All Wet

EdenPure says its heaters "protects the humidity level and air quality important to breathing comfort and personal health," and also notes that "Heat from the copper tubing rides the humidity in the room and provides moist, soft heat--ceiling-to-floor, wall-to-wall--without reducing oxygen or humidity."

Simply put, when you heat a room with any space heater and don't also have an additional source of humidity, say a humidifier, the total moisture in the air in that space will stays the same but the relative humidity will go down, not up. That's true for every space heater we've tested...

We needed a heater for our fifth wheel and I prefer products made in the USA (especially electric products), so after reviewing many heaters decided on the Edenpure. It really does the job! Saved quite a bit on propane and heats the whole 5th wheel. Plus it's a lot quieter than our furnace. We've been extremely pleased.

Honest reviews on New EdenPURE Infrared Heater US1000

Years ago,I purchased two Edenpure, very efficient and safe,model Gen 3 heaters. One of the heaters was a refurbished model. Both heaters worked great, until the refurbished heater stopped producing heat. I called the company, being that a refurbished hearter did not carry a regular warranty, I could not get help..not even a timely answer from the on line trouble shooting expert. It was the Christmas vacation week for my grandchildren who were coming to stay with me in upstate NY., and without two heaters, my home is really cold. After a long wait for the online company representative to get back to me, only for him to write back stating that he lost my e-mail and what was my heater problem. I wrote him back, but again never recieved answered, and with the nearest repair shop for these heaters hundreds of miles away from my home, I went to BJ's store to see what brands of heaters they had available. To my surprise BJ's had 1 Edenpure US1000, which I purchased. Edenpure has made some changes;the US1000 heater uses three bulbs instead of the 5 bulbs as in the original heaters and I believe runs a bit cooler, not giving the wide spectrum of heat output as the older models did. The Edenpure is a safe and attractive looking heater, and I feel very comfortable when my grndchildren are at my home, knowing that they will not be harmed by any heating elements.

I bought 2! The heater works very well. We run it in the room where our TV and thermostat are located. It raises the temperature to around 72 degrees, which keeps the heat from coming on. As long as we stay in that room, it's nice. The rest of the 1st floor of the house gets very cold unless we run the second heater in another room. These are idea for trailers or small homes. If you have a bigger house you may want to buy a couple of them but, would you really be saving any money then???.

With dozens of so called "ceramic" portable heaters on the market it can be very difficult to sort through all the models. Here are the facts friends; Pelonis (Del Rain) pionerred the original fully ceramic portable heaters back in the mid 80's...these models use 100% ceramic heating (disc design) elements and will approximately double the amount of heat available, watt for watt, than all other so called "ceramic" heaters. Why the confusion? the lower cost units (20-30$) use very small ceramic conductive elements which are then joined to long metal type heating fins; (there is only an upfront cost saving); the pelonis disc furnace will pay for itself in less than one heating season! And, by the way, our own space shuttles employ this same type of heating unit on their missions. Case dismissed.

The B-6A1 ceramic space heater is one of the best I have used over many years experience...It far exceeds those which cost less, such as the one's offered at Lowe's, Home Depot, K-Mart, Wal-Mart and elsewhere...In my opinion it is better buildt and puts out more heat than others...It is also far quieter and has a varible temp. selector...You will find that this heater cost more, but you only get what you pay for...It will give you years of good service..

Honest reviews on Pelonis Classic Ceramic Heater

My Dad bought an original Peopnis disc furnace in 1982 because it was used on NASA flights to heat the spacecrafts. How cold does it get up there???

We still have it and it works great.

I have bought over 25 Pelonis furnaces since then. They originally called them furnaces for a reason. Here are the pros and cons. The ones with forced air are not as good as the true ceramic. The ones with out the ceramic discs are not any better than other cheap heaters. The Original ceramic only are excellent par anything They heat up the rooms in our trailer from 25 degrees to 75 degrees 10x12 rooms) and turn off automatically in about 15 minutes. That is unbelieveable The heat penetrates into the furniture and into you. It is not just ehating the air it heats the contents of the room. We did get a black plastic one and it did melt the case when we had it too close to a metal item but oh well, it still runs 10 years later!!! I recommend the original Pelonis with temp control, the browm metal box type. We have had the newer styles and oscilating and no it is not like the original for sure. Thanks for listening

Do not buy this heater or any Pelonis product. I bought this heater two months ago. I turned this heater on and it burned my linoleum floor. I tried calling the number on their web site and it just rings and rings. I sent an email to them and I have not received a response.

I bought the same model twenty years ago and was extremely happy with it. Comparing it with the new model there is no comparison. The new one is built really cheap and flimsy. The are lots of plastic parts with the new one. My old was made in the USA while the new one now made in China.

I wanted a decent electric kettle to replace my stovetop teapot and my little "hot shot" water heater. This Breville electric kettle is perfect. It can heat a fairly large volume of water quickly. I don't need lots of extras (like "keep warm" features or tea infusers), and this is a simple-to-use solution that I really like. Just push the button, then get boiling water! I like the filter in the pour spout, too. It has clean design, looks great, and works beautifully. I'm absolutely thrilled with it and would definitely recommend it!

Comfort Zone CZ6C 6-Inch 2-Speed Clip-On Fan Reviews

Comfort Zone CZ6C 6-Inch 2-Speed Clip-On Fan
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
Aug 2012 First version of fan: I bought a Comfort Zone CZ6C in August 2012. It had a pretty beefy clamp and a decent, though not earth shattering output. That older fan was fine to stir the air in a bedroom at night after a hot day, or to circulate air in a bathroom. Construction of this older model was pretty beefy. Compared to the newer (2013) version, the housing (not fan blade diameter), it was 10 15% larger and the clamp was very substantial reminded me of a lobster claw!

Jump to...

Early July 2013: The new version of the fan with the exact same brand name and model number...is wimpy. On High it has a slightly noticeable output at 3 to 3.5 feet. Yah, it's there....kinda. Beyond that meh. I wouldn't want to rely on this for any kind of heat respite on a hot day.

The only good things I can say about the new fan:

1. You can turn the fan at a 90 degree angle from where it's clamped. The old fan could not do this exactly could approximate it. However the old fan had another joint which gave it more flexibility in other ways.

2. This new July 2013 fan is physically smaller and able to fit into smaller places where an extra 1 to 1.5 inches might be a dealbreaker for install or positioning.

3. As crazy at it sounds I can think of some situations where I might want a more "wimpy" fan. For instance, if I go to sleep on a hot evening I don't want there to be a chill from the fan after the ambient temperature has cooled down 4 hours later. This fan's output is just enough to generate some * subtle * air circulation in say an 8 X 10 room without being too noisy.

But like I said, if you want as a fan for direct "give it to me" relief from a hot day... like clamped to a desk pointed directly at you: it's piddly.

Summary: Caveat Emptor hardware changes on models of items that still manage to be given the same model number. Especially on imported stuff. DON'T tear up the box until you've tested it and decide you like it. This fan was so inexpensive, it wasn't worth the hassle to return it. I won't buy any more of these however. Over and out!

I bought this based on the other 2 user reviews, and now I'm convinced these were created by the manufacturer.

There's nothing positive I can say about this product, but as for the negatives...

It has barely any effect on the room temperature when set to air-cooling mode.

It's extremely loud and obnoxious. Seriously, it sounds just like an idling lawn mower.

Emits a nasty, exhaust-like smell.

Save yourself the time and money, you really don't want this product at any price.

EDIT (6/10/11): My suspicions about the other 2 reviewers (Ken Manning, Dave Martin) at the time of my purchase can be confirmed by their reviewing and tagging history. Look for yourselfBoth have only reviewed this product (with a raving positive review of course), and have tagged every Whynter product with an assortment of positive/descriptive adjectives. Ken Manning even went so far as to tag several competing products as "defective" and "not cold". Well, I know what brand NOT to trust now.

After reading the other reviews, my story is hardly unique here. The product worked (marginally, I might add) for about 3 weeks before beginning one night to emit a deafening, grinding noise. I disassembled the whole thing to see if I could figure out the problem. Didn't help. I emailed Whynter customer service and after several back and forth exchanges with basically useless ideas to fix it, I got a return authorization to send it back. I heard absolutely NOTHING from them for over six weeks until I basically hounded them about the whereabouts of my unit. After TWO MONTHS of waiting, it finally arrived again. I plugged it in and was greeted by...THE SAME HORRIBLE NOISE! After over two months, they fixed absolutely nothing. It sucks. They suck. Do yourself a favor and DON'T BUY THIS GARBAGE!

Whynter Air Cooler/Heater/Humidifier

Timeframe: 2 months

My usage conditions: 51F to 78F, Humidity 60% to 80%

Functions used: Heater, evaporative air cooler, humidifier.

Design:

I selected this primarily for the design and color scheme. I did not want another white/beige appliance or some psychedelic blue or pink candy painted device. Conventionally shaped and subtle in overall appearance. Top marks.

Functionality: The Whynter air cooler is a misnomer, while it does a solid job cooling a 150square foot space, it does a whole lot more than cool. The heat was nice to have when the temperature dipped and the humidity control is very useful when dealing with dry air resulting from heater use. Intuitive and easy to control. The water tank at the base take a bit of jiggering to slide in and out but otherwise I do not have any issues with it. The filters built into the unit do provide some degree of purification. My room air purifier lasted about 30% longer before the indicator light came on. It is light weight and portable, but be careful when you move it with the water tank filled.

Quality:

Well built with softtouch controls. The remote control was responsive and fit nicely into the attached holster on the unit. Material is were primarily plastic. Easy to clean and maintain. Pre-filter is easily removed and cleaned. No fuss device.

Price:

Quite reasonable for all that it does. I would take this over 3 or 4 separate devices any day.

Overall:

One of my better purchases this year. top scores across the board.

Whynter Eco-Friendly 5 in 1 Evaporative Air Cooler (HAC-100S)

Never quite experienced an air cooler before, it is decidedly a good product that does well for the price. This unit does a good job cooling at a fraction of the cost of an air conditioner and without the power consumption or setup needed. Don't expect the room to cool down significantly, air coolers don't work that way. This provides superior comfort in a 15ft radius.

In fact, I prefer to have this on compared to an air conditioner on dryer days.

I'm not an uber technical person but from my understanding, what it does is to use water to and the cooling effect of an evaporative process. This is especially useful for sensitive or dry skin. Currently used in the bedroom but am adding an additional unit in the den.

Not real setup is required, just fill the unit with water and set it on, it makes an odd noise when the water bucket is empty but just fill it up again and you'll be fine. The louvers are a little flimsy but can be popped back into place quite easily. It's easy to move around and small enough to put in most spaces. Oh, and it comes with handy heater mode too.

This is a great heater if you are a hands on like to fix it to save money like me. Most people throw these heaters away if the caution light comes on thinking its no good anymore. BAD IDEA i just took a vacuum and cleaned the heater out and then under the thermostat control there is a spring that you have to press in on and move the resistor back in its original position. You will hear a *click* that tells you its reset. However if you dont know what you are doing DO NOT TAKE THE HEATER APART. Call customer service. Easx fix for me and a good heater.

The heater works fine for an occasional "I need to heat a very small space quickly" situation. We bought a pair of them to heat our living room (the only room in the house without forced air heat) for the few hours we were in that room. We would alternate using one on one day and then the other one. They had enough power to do the job. However, after about 4-6 weeks of operation, inevitably one of the two would stop working (the caution light would come on and the fan and heater would stop running). We've replaced 3-4 of them since November.

Bottom line: Good heat production. Completely unreliable for anything other than brief, occasional use.

So... I've wavered on this for months. Finally, I decided to see if I could really lay it all to rest. It just doesn't seem that good. So tonight I was cold. I had it on a table top, and I hugged it. I mean... I HUGGED it... I wrapped me and my jacket all around it, touching the face to my body. Then I held my hand ON the face. At 1300w it was easy to do. At 1500w I could hold it there for about a minute before it started to get uncomfortable. I decided to call their support #. They say on their manual in big letters: ATTENTION IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS, EMAIL OR CALL ... BEFORE (underlined) YOU RETURN THIS PRODUCT TO THE STORE WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. I called the 800 #. I quickly reached a pleasant voice who immediately put me on hold. I finally hung up and called back. I reached the same voice. She asked if I wanted support. I said I did. She told me to give her some info and support will call me back in typically 24-48 hours. This is a joke, right? Oh no, she said. OK. I'm done. Back to Freddie's we go.

I love my new fireplace entertainment center. It came in two separate boxes, one was the wood and the other the fireplace heater insert. The cherry wood is beautiful, but is a bit dark. When we first assembled it, two of my sons did it within 45 minutes. When done, the front doors didn't fit right. The left front door gapped and the right side didn't fit right at all. Cooperation from the manufacturer was not very good. The manufacturer did not call back when they said they would and I had to keep calling and getting the run around. Also, they wanted me to e-mail them a picture for someone in another department to decide what to do about helping me and I didn't have the camera or the ability to e-mail them a picture. Although the manufacturer had poor service, the seller was great! After I notified the seller of the problem, they immediately sent a replacement unit and that fixed everything. We've been enjoying the unit ever sense. My son seems to think one of the problems with the doors fitting correctly is to make sure the screws are the exact manufacture ones specified to go on the doors and to make sure you get the precise line up for the door and the spot to screw it in at. Anyone having the same problem, should check this. The fireplace entertainment looks so beautiful and makes the room feel so inviting and is nice and warm.

Arrived right away. Couldn't have taken more than ten or fifteen minutes to make the exchange. I wouldn't mind a bit if other household (and automotive) devices were as easy to repair. Did any of my local home supply places have this part in stock? Um, no. Did they have the entire unit. Um, no to that as well.

This appears to be a part where cost is balanced against durability, and durability comes out on the light side. Having a source of vibration right on top of the heater coils looks like a compromise. But in the great scheme of things, it's not that expensive.

As others have written this is a newer design than the old plastic scroll heaters but it fits into the existing housing of the older Nutone models listed. The installation is straightforward you just have to get the small screw into the side hole to hold it in place.

This is my second Mr Heater Double for a different garage and was an easy choice when i needed a heater.

Just quicly attach it to the top of any standard propane tank (I use 30lb tanks to go longer between refills)

connect the hose (Reminder reverse threads on propane hoses), open the valve, depress and hold the button while you light it, hold the button for 5-10 seconds and that's it.

The heater really starts putting out the heat right away and I'm able to take my 2 car garage (insulated) from roughly 40 degrees F to about 55-60 degrees F in around 30-60 minutes.

My recommendation is if your looking for a garage or outbuilding heater this will be your simpilist, most portable, highest heat output choice.

I have owned two of these dehumidifiers, and both failed in less than 18 months due to leakage of the refrigerant. In both cases, the refrigerant loss was due to excessive corrosion of the evaporator coil. (Who would have thought a dehumidifier would be exposed to moisture?)

Haier warranty support was not able to address the issue in any way. In my professional opinion, this humidifier was not designed to last more than two years. I will not buy another Haier product.

I was really looking forward to getting this fireplace up and running, especially for the price. However, the phase "you get what you pay for" applies well here.

The construction is high school shop class grade. The four spot welds on the base of the stand failed, causing the fireplace to lean, and eventually fall, forward. (Not very safe for something containing a liquid on fire.) Despite the rest of the elements being very dirty out of the box, I really wanted to get this up, and complete my bedroom makeover for my wife. So, I took the stand to an auto shop and had the base welded properly.

Success. Base was made stable. Got it back home and put the rest of it together (which is very easy). Now is where the real disappointment came in. I hadn't noticed previously that the face (which is just a one-side stainless steel facade) had major dents on the edges. The fuel box, which has a stainless steel top, was pretty scuffed-up as well. (I thought I could just polish it up, but all of my efforts in that department were fruitless.)

I tried to ignore all of that and just put it together for "the big reveal." But in the end, it just looked terrible. Aside for the dents, scuffs, and crappy welding in critical areas, the fireplace doesn't appear whole. It's just made up of pieces of metal that are bent to make the front and sides, but there is no back. So, without the dents and scuffs, the fireplace would look good on camera when viewing it directly from the front. However, if you put in anywhere that you can either see it from ANY other angle that directly in front of it, or if you get within 10 feet of it, you'll see just how cheaply it is made.

It's a shame, really. It's got a good design concept (which is why I give it two stars versus one). Just really poor execution.

My fireplace was not packaged properly, heavy metal parts were not secured, so the box arrived with holes taped by UPS and the parts were scratched and bent. Nevertheless I have put the unit together to decide if I should order a replacement and decided against it. The fireplace does not look as nice as on the picture, the parts have blemishes, some of the edges are rough and the whole unit feels flimsy and cheap. Amazon took it back without any problems.

I would really give this 4.5 stars. The 1/2 star deduction is for lack of fuel (I knew it doesn't come with fuel, but I think 1 bottle to start should be included). Also, the instructions were a little too simplistic. You could make reasonable assumptions and figure out how to fill the fireplace with fuel, for example, but I would have like explicit instructions just because there's fire involved and it's inside my house. Again, it wasn't anything you can't figure out, but I like to be 100% sure I'm doing it right when it could be potentially dangerous.

I've use the fireplace twice now with their recommended fuel. One 1-litre bottle lasted about 2.5. hours at the largest flame and raised the 400 sq ft room about 2-3 degrees. There was a slight smell once the fireplace extinguished, but nothing alarming or very bad and it dissipated before morning.

I was worried that it would be too small when I read the dimensions, but it looks fantastic. It has about the same footprint of a standard fireplace in a newer house.

Finally, I thought it felt a little flimsy once we put it together (which took about 5 min), but I tried to knock it down on carpet (while empty of course), and it was pretty difficult, so I'm not worried about that. I do NOT think this is very safe for kids, particularly young kids. I probably would not light this with kids under 10 around and above 10, only while supervised.
