Shipped extremely fast! Looks amazing, however is much smaller than I had anticipated. I had been hoping for the price for it to be bigger. Very warm! Heats room quickly! Downside is that if you can't fit it flush against the wall you will see the created fire "crackling" from behind it against your wall. Also I would recommend placing it on a hard floor or creating a hearth for it to stand on. Fireplace tilted forward on our plush carpet, had to adjust this by propping the front end with a few pieces of cardboard which is hardly noticeable, but not great for if you have little ones, as they can still easily pull it over onto themselves. Overall very pretty.

Fast and easy to assemble and mount. Has a sleek & sexy look to it and heats up your room in no time. Definitely one of the best on the market! I have a similar one that is a free standing floor type which works well but not nearly as sturdy built. It does have the convenience of it being out of the way on the wall it takes up floor space so this gives same benefit but having it on the wall is even better and out of the way.

Pros compared to the other ones on the market are:

Pros-

-It works great to heat any area but provides 3 different levels allows you to adjust it to what level heat you need instead of a lot of the other models just have the one level on or off switch only.

Built using real glass, metal, and rocks unlike the cheaper models that use plastic fake glass doesn't look sleek and sexy on the wall like this one does when mounted.

-This has an emergency safety shut off switch which surprisingly most don't have.

-The small easy remote control allows you to conveniently turn it on from anywhere unlike most that manually turn on and off which is a feature most don't have and you will want since its mounted up on a wall.

Cons-

-It's built well but it is heavy so it does need to be mounted to a stud or wall that you can support it like you would a flat screen TV monitor because same weight if not more than a flat screen it's size.

-Again it is heavy so shipping is more costly. (But worth it!)

I even enjoy having the lighted fire screen effect on even when I am not using the heat option with it. It's realistic and stylish look that gives the very realistic illusion of a real looking fire making it work as an interactive art piece as well!

I AM BEYOND HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. Amazing price and you really get way more than what you pay for at this price!!!!!

I bought this to add some depth to my Family Room. I chose this model because the rocks looked real, not knowing that they actually give you real rocks. Also installation was a breeze as long as you have a stud finder or you know where your stud is located. At least put two screws in a stud and you will be all set.

Heats my Family Room/Kitchen and that is a huge space

Honest reviews on 36 inch Wall Mount Modern Space Heater Electric Fireplace Heater

The fireplace is lovely and exceptionally functional. I studied alot of reviews before deciding on this one. I highly recommend it. It has multiple settings for flame length/intensity, including no flame. It has 2 heat settings. The fan is quiet and remains at the same speed regardless of wattage setting. There are 4 background wall colors to choose from, including none, which is the one I use most frequently. The tempered glass on the front is a nice touch, although not necessary as the glass does not heat up. The flames are very lifelike! So that's the technical stuff. It has turned my living room into a very romantic place to hang out. I especially love using just the flame for ambience in the quiet dark of the early mornings while I'm waking up with a nice cup of hot coffee. Kitty-cat and I are warm and comforted now. I replaced a tank of a vintage (1978) Vermont Castings wood stove with this fireplace. Nothing can replace the quantity of heat the old woodstove cranked out, but then again, there's no mess, no stacking wood, no feeding the fire; just the flip of a switch. (Primary heat source for the house is inverter style heat pump with ducted hvac.) Just fyi: I was confused by the absence of a tabletop stand. It turns out that piece is an item add-on. Enjoy!

Review of 10,000 BTU AC w/ Heater By Sunpentown

10,000 BTU AC w/ Heater By Sunpentown
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
Knocking off 1 star because it only has 1 exhaust path (so it pumps the "inside air" outside as it runs). Some find that "more aesthetic", but I find that it causes drafts around the edges of the sunroom that are the outside temp.

But other than that, it seems to be rock solid, even after twising it around so we could install it in an electric VW Cabriolet!

Draws 10A @ 120V, so it's easily powered, and it does a good job at protecting itself (it won't let the compressor cycle on/off faster than 5 minutes -so if you flip from Cool to Heat, expect some delays). Bonus that the water runs from the Evaporator to the Condenser; this improves is performance mesurably.

The LED displays flicker, but meh... they work, and the unit brings 90F air down to 70F, so it'll do nicely for blowing cool or hot air (60F-> 110F)at you. I wouldn't count on it for a house, but for a cool breeze in a sunroom, it fits the bill nicely.

Lifesmart Power Plus 6 Element 1800 Square Foot Infrared Quartz Review

Lifesmart Power Plus 6 Element  1800 Square Foot Infrared Quartz Heater w/Furniture Cabinet Includes Remote
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
CONS: Light weighted cabinet (not stable); imitation wood (sticker); inaccurate temperature detection; displayed temperature is the temperature to reach, not the current temperature in the room; fan is very loud; no battery for the remote; advertises as a 6500 BTU when in fact it is a 5100 BTU unit.

PROS: Light weight (but easy to move); has auto turn on and off; has an economy mode setting (500 watts); master on/off switch; fan seems to blow pretty hard.

NEUTRAL: Heat blows toward the floor (maybe 35 degree angle)

..based on my experience attempting to return this item, BEWARE OF FAT BOY TOOLS a seller of this item. They attempted to close my claim for a return and sent me the following message: "Fat Boy Tools has closed your return request. The reason for the closure of your request is: Solved a technical issue" WTF.

I decided on this particular heater over others because it advertises the heater as 6500 BTUs and a five year warranty. When it arrived and I was looking at the box I noticed that it was only 5100 BTUs and has a 3 year year warranty. I thought they had sent me the wrong one but when I compared the model number it was the correct model number. I contacted the company that sent me the heater and they just said that that was the information the Lifesmart company provided them with. To me, that is false advertising!

For starters, I think this is the first time I've taken the time to write a review. I was just a little frustrated how poorly this product was ranked after I committed to buy two of them.

I actually bought this product from e-bay as they were running a big sale. However, I buy a ton from Amazon and always compare prices to theirs and often look at some of the reviews. As with any other item, there are almost always a lot of likes and dislikes. This product had plenty of one star reviews which kind of scared me. Then, I looked at the intelligence level of the reviewers. The fan was "noiser" as opposed to "noisier". One star because the remote didn't have batteries, really??? It wasn't made out of wood, it was plastic on wood. Not true with mine, it's not oak or anything, but it is at least veneer. It only raised the room "2 degree" my old one raised it "8 degree". Firstly, more than one means "degrees". There were some other reviewers that had experience with more expensive units that said this performed "comparably" for the price. I went with the more educated people and bought two of these units. I've only been using them for two days and I'm actually pretty impressed. I use these for localized heating because I run a pellet stove in a 2,850 square foot house. The heat simply can't make it to all areas. I was using some smaller electric faux stoves that worked fairly well. However, not all of them I had have built in thermostats. These units do and they seem to work pretty well. I had one in my bedroom (big bedroom and master bath) and set it at 65 degrees last night. This morning, my atomic clock was reading 63.9 degrees. Close enough considering I have the blower pointing away from the clock. I'm sure it would have been higher if I pointed the heater towards the clock/thermometer. This was on the low (500W) setting. I have not even used the 1,000W setting yet. This product is advertised to help supplement your existing heat and to be efficient at doing so. I don't pay that much attention to my electric bill, but it's 1,500W which seems to be the max for all of these small stand alone units (for the most part). I have oil heat which I have not used for two years since installing a large pellet stove, thanks to my free Obama money at the end of 2011. But, as mentioned before, the heat can't permeate through my entire house well. I use some ceiling fans to move the air around but that's not enough to get the upstairs warm. Yes, I understand, heat rises, but apparently, not as much as I would like. So, in a nutshell, this seems to work great to heat a room locally. It also has an auto on/auto off timer. I have not used that either, but figure the auto on will work nice to come on a couple of hours before you get home. It's not like an alarm clock. You have to tell it to come on in a certain amount of hours. Other complaints included that the display shows the setpoint, not the actual temperature. OK, some people will want it one way, some the other. It seems to hold the setpoint fairly well, so I'm OK with that. Another heater I have displays the actual temperature of the heater, so it is consistently hotter than what the actual room temperature is. Lastly, some people complain it's too loud. The filter on my fishtank, which is called a Whisper filter, is louder, so the volume does not bother me. Seems fine. I guess that's enough said, I think it's a pretty good product. While it may not completely heat your trailer, it's pretty good for keeping some larger rooms that need a boost nice and cozy. I'd recommend to a friend.

Pros:

Attractive package that you can easily put a picture or plant on top of

Fully assembled upon arrival, including the wheels (which are stable as opposed to one review)

On/Off Timer

Remote (except for the added $1.00 you'll have to pay for two AA batteries)

F/C temperature display

Directional heat as you can point it where you want the heat to go

Cons:

People seem to have had problems with the vendor they purchased it from when they were dissatisfied

Doesn't have the fake logs and flames that the faux heaters have that most people actually enjoy

Won't walk my dog or make me coffee in the morning (just had to come up with a complaint like the other one star reviews)

Sorry if I insulted anyone's intelligence, but some of those reviews really are comical.

Happy New Year

Honest reviews on Lifesmart Power Plus 6 Element 1800 Square Foot Infrared Quartz

I bought this product for 179.00 on Amazon, through FAT BOYS TOOLS. It works about the same as my hair dryer on warm.

It ran quite for about three hours and now makes enough noise to be bothersome.

Honestly, I have a 30.00 radiant heater that works ten times better.

In retuning this item I have to pay a 12% restocking fee, that is 31.60 to me, and a 11.40 pre paid shipping fee. The grand total for 43.00. I have learned my lesson, do not buy from Fat Boys Tools. I tried to work something out with them, I wanted a replacement heater, but they don't sell any other heaters that work better then this one. In fact the young lady in customer service told me that this heater only heats as a secondary heater and brings the room four degrees higher then the primary heat source has heated it. Sounds to me that 1800 square feet "line" is just an eye catching bate, It is advertised to "1800 Square Foot Infrared Quartz Heater...." Sounds to me like it might heat that 1800 square ft. space. My place is no more then 600 sq. feet all one room, No it is not warm!!!

Sadly, Elizabeth Ma.

The item looks very nice on the wall, but the fire doesn't really look real in my opinion. I was expecting a real flame, but this is just lights that make it LOOK like a flame, not actual fire. The only warmth comes from the fan which you can set to two settings. It blows out hot air from the top of the fireplace which makes it impossible to put anything else up on the wall above it. We have our TV up there so we cannot ever turn the heat function on. The fan is also really noisy which ruins that atmosphere. We decided to keep it as we cannot afford much more than this for one with real flames, but would not have purchased if we had more funds!

I received the Warm House electric fireplace as a Christmas present from my daughter. The fireplace stopped working 3 days later. Following the Instruction Manual, I contacted Midwest Trading Group via email for a repair or replacement. Midwest Trading Group gave me a number to call which was their shipping department. ???! The shipping department referred me back to Midwest's Customer Service who sent me to Groupon through which my daughter placed her order. Because of the back and forth, I was too late in contacting them (14 days) so they couldn't help. The original warranty was 30 days; all contact with Midwest Trading Group was made within that time, and during that time no one would accept responsibility for repairing or replacing the fireplace. I am now stuck with a 40 lb. handsome looking, non-functioning piece of metal.

I have already owned a similar one for a year now and am very pleased

I have no Idea why others complain that it doesn't heat the 1500 sq. ft .I does, they must have missed the part that says its not to be used alone as the sole heat source.

I use this heater in my bed room and parrot room, and haven't had any issues with loss of humidity

the washable filter and remote is a bonus

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

So, first the positives about this unit: the wood cabinet is attractive and stays cool to the touch. The washable filter and remote control are a big plus. It has several heat settings to choose from, which is another plus.

But here are things not mentioned in the blurb about the unit, but are mentioned in the owners' manual. When deciding where to put it, the area in front of and behind the unit must be clear of any other items for several feet. So no putting it with its back to a wall. But the larger issue is that this unit needs its own circuit. Not just its own electrical outlet, but a circuit all its own. It draws too much power so it would trip the circuit breaker if other things are running on the same circuit. Pretty impractical, in my opinion. Naturally you'd want this unit in a room you're using, and presumably using other electrical appliances that are on the same circuit. (Most electrical circuits are 15 amps. When this unit is running at full power it would be drawing most of those amps.)

Despite this, I managed. I bought the unit to heat the den and adjoining kitchen, a total of about 700 sq. feet. Fortunately I have a small office off the den (about 150 sq. feet), so I have the unit plugged in there and facing into the den. The office has its own circuit so the heater draws its power from there. I'm just not able to use any major electrical items in the office, but I worked around that.

Another thing: the owners' manual says you can't use an extention cord with this unit. Yet its power cord is less than 6 feet. Another impracticality when deciding where to put the heater and yet have it somewhere it can evenly distribute heat. Like I said, my unit faces into the den, but I'm also trying to heat the kitchen with it too. The den gets nice and warm but the kitchen is noticeably cooler. In essence, uneven heating (which I guess isn't surprising).

I waited to write this review until I received the electric and oil bills. The electric bill went up by $75 for the month I was using this unit. (I have our house heat set at 62 and use this unit to bring it up to 68 degrees.) But the oil bill, which is usually about $450 a month, went down by about $200. So I am realizing some savings there. Of course there are lots of variances in what cost savings can be realized, like the square footage of the area you're heating, what your thermostat is set at, the insulation of your house, how often you run the unit, etc.

If I had to decide whether to recommend this unit then I'd probably not advise it. If I had to do it all over again I think I'd put my money towards a wood stove.

Best Deals for Lifesmart LS-4W1500X Wood Infrared Heater

I wish I had read more reviews before I purchased this brand of infrared heater. Like so many other customers, I bought the unit in November and it stopped working in January. It was effective when it did work, although mine never did register the ambient temperature. I do not think it is coincidence that the Owner's Manual had nothing to say about the error code, "E1". That is what the display will show when the unit's heating system wears out. The manufacturer of this heater may bring in a lot of customers with its promises of lowering bills, but it won't keep customers with these durability problems. It seems that LifeSmart must have programmed a short life into its infrared heaters, which does ensure that the customer will purchase a second unit, but doesn't build loyalty. If you buy this heater, you will be happy with it for about 90 days. Just consider it to be disposable and you won't be disappointed.

Honest reviews on Lifesmart LS-4W1500X Wood Infrared Heater

We purchashed this product to replace a radiant style heater. The main concern being that we didnt want our 3 year old to burn herself.

One of our bedrooms is too far from the central air handler and never seems to get as warm as the other rooms. We placed this heater in the room for use at night. I use the low setting (750W) and set the thermostat to 75 works great and stays cool to the touch. The timer function is also nice so you don't have to remember to turn it off in the morning. It is a bit louder than I expected but it doesn't bother me. After a couple days of use, It stops making the horrible smell when you turn it on.

I'll update the review if anything changes.

Size: 13 1/2 x 20 1/2 inches. This isn't included in the description.

I bought this foot warmer a few years ago though I can't remember where or what the price was, but $58 (as of January 2012) is expensive when you can buy Indus-Tool FWXXX Cozy Electric Foot Warming Pad for $36.40.

It does warm nicely after a few minutes, almost too warm.

The mat has a 5 1/2-foot cord but no switch, so I had to plug/unplug it each time I used it; the outlet is behind a desk and not easy to access. To overcome this inconvenience I bought a cheap switch that I plugged into a short extension cord which is plugged into the outlet, and the foot warmer plugs into the switch. Now I have the switch within reach. Still, I have to remember to turn it off.

This is from the WARNING tag attached to the cord:

Do not cover mat with anything. Covering can cause a possible overheating condition and damage to flooring below.

Do not use if damaged.

Not to be used as a heat pad for animals.

Unplug when not in use.

Purchased the Bird-X foot warmer with some apprehension after reading some of the other reviews. My warmer arrived in just four days....almost instant

gratification. Plugged it in straight away. I did not have any problem whatsoever with the "new rubber smell". The unit takes about 10 minutes to heat

up fully....and it is heaven. We live in the mountains of Colorado so the temperature is often below zero. The unit can actually too hot after about a

half hour but that is perfect.... Luv That Foot Warmer!

I found this in a free bin at a thrift store and the unit works so well at getting hot that it was melting the soles of my shoes! I am thinking of building a thermostat to or buying a dimmer switch to lower the maximum temperature that this thing can produce. I have found a lot of similar products that state the max temp to be 140 degrees F.

Honest reviews on Bird-X Electric Foot Warmer Mat

If this mat had at least two temperatures (the current temp plus a lower one) and didn't smell, I'd give it 5 stars and bring it back to my office.

I used this for two years in my office and it kept the entire underside of my desk warm. But I had to keep my shoes on (too hot for socked feet) and people often commented that my office smelled ... wrong. Running an air filter made the smell barely noticeable.

When I switched to a new fancy office, I switched to the Indus-Tool TT Toasty Toes Heated Footrest but it barely warms unless I have my shoes off and my feet right on the footrest.

I moved the Cozy Foot Warmer into the laundry room for the cats to sleep on where the smell wasn't noticeable but the mat was too hot for them.

I can't use a space heater in my office because it pulls too much electricity and is a fire hazard. Anyone got any other suggestions?

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Bird-X Electric Foot Warmer Mat

This foot warmer mat is pretty fantastic. Sure, there's room for improvement, but this thing has really helped me a lot, so it just wouldn't be fair to give it any less than 5 stars.

>> Safe For Diabetics, But Use Caution

My lower legs and feet often get very cold, and I also have limited sensation, so I have to be careful with any space heaters or mats I use. The great thing about this foot warmer, is the heat is gentle without being utterly useless. It's amazing how much warmer my entire body feels just by placing my feet on this mat.

>>Not Hot To The Touch

I leave it on for hours at a time, and it never overheats or gets too hot to touch; which is vital for me given the limited sensation on my lower legs.

>> Great With Or Without Slippers

I often keep my feet inside my slippers and then just place my feet on top of this mat while reading, playing with my tablet or just sitting and watching TV. We have hardwood floors, so they can get pretty cold in the winter, even here in sunny California. I've tried cranking the heat up in the house, but that does little to help cold lower extremities; it would literally have to be as hot as a sauna in here to start warming my feet!! And space heaters usually blow air, and even though it's heated, the draft really doesn't feel nice if I'm already cold. But this warming mat just emanates gentle warmth without creating any drafts, and I can keep the house's thermostat at our regular temperature, yet still warm up my feet.

>> Illuminated Power Button

This warming mat has a power switch on the cord that lights up when the mat is on. I like this feature because there's no mistaking when this mat is on or off. I doubt it would ever get hot enough to cause any problems, but I still like having the visual clue of a lighted button.

>> NO RUBBER SMELL

I hate it when you buy something made of rubber, or even just has a few rubber parts on it, and the whole thing stinks of rubber the second you pull it out of the box!! And it sure can't be healthy to breathe that industrial stuff in either. Thankfully, this mat does NOT smell like that. It doesn't smell like anything, which is exactly as it should be.

>> Buy A Variable Power Switch & Gain Full Temp Control

If this mat has a downside, it's that there's no variable heat settings; it's either On or it's Off. That's fine for most people, but I really wanted to have some control over the heat settings. So I got this Foot Control Dimmer and it works like a charm! It's actually marketed as a lamp dimmer, but it will work with most anything; like osculating fans, lamps or even this foot warming mat!! Just plug the dimmer control into the wall, then plug this foot warming mat into the dimmer's socket, and voila -you have a fully adjustable temperature control; from zero 100! The lighted switch on the foot warmer pad even gets brighter and dimmer as I adjust the dimmer control; so there's also a visual cue as to the heat intensity of my foot warming mat. Perfect!!

Bottom Line I really love my foot warming mat and it's been a real lifesaver for me. Cold feet is just miserable, and now, I have nice and toasty tootsies. Future models of this mat should include a variable temperature control, but I'm still very happy with it and consider it a 5 star improvement in my life! Love it!!

Bought this fireplace for a newly remodeled area of our living room in October. We heat with an oil furnace and wanted to supplement to save money this Winter. We have not had a cold Winter in New England so far, but it has been cold enough to determine that I rarely hear the furnace turn on. I keep it on low and it heats up our living room area very quickly(about 650 sf) and a lot of heat goes upstairs too. Running our ceiling fans helps to circulate the warm air. We have run this unit everyday in the morning when I get up and all evening when I get home from work. My gas bill has increased 10 dollars a month. I can only imagine how much oil we have saved using this fireplace. The cabinet looks like a well made piece of furniture and it adds a lot to my home. My two cats take turns sleeping on top of it. There is a little smell to it when it is operating, but not any worse than when my gas oven is on in the kitchen. Very cozy watching the flames and feeling the warmth.

I would have given it 5 stars but I have to say that the controls are not that easy to operate as you have to get down on the floor and use two hands to turn it on and off. A remote would have been nice. Another thing is that it should come with the heater fan already installed not as an add on for another 100 dollars. Heat rises and there really isn't any way to disperse the heat efficiently without using a fan. Also, I had to have my plumber run the gas line, which cost another 200 dollars, but he was nice enough to put the whole thing together for me and helped figure out how to run it. We both had to read through the instructions several times to figure it out.

All in all, I would recommend this product. We have really enjoyed the ambiance it creates and the savings it has already provided.

We used the corner conversion, which is just a triangle of wood, two support bars, and a wall mounted bracket. It was easy to do and looks natural. I was concerned about how much weight it could handle, but it seems to be able to support ample amount.

The thermostat is a little touchy. At first we thought it controlled the flame size, and to some degree it does. Setting one is low flame, setting two is medium flame, and setting 3 is high flame. Setting 4-6 is the same as three. But what we realized is that it is actually controlling the thermostat. The flame will shut off once it reaches a certain temperature. However, this was one thing we changed. The thermostat is located at the bottom back of the fireplace, which does not make it very accurate. I would suggest moving it higher, if your fireplace never seems to turn off or over heats the room.

As with any vent-free fireplace, it makes water. You will get condensation on any cold surfaces (like windows). The benefit to this is the house is somewhat humidified. The bad news is you will have to wipe down your windows & window sills. We actually really enjoy the moisture in the air.

This unit does not come with a blower. We have found it doesn't need one. We leave our ceiling fan (blowing up instead of down) on low. This is all it needs to evenly heat the room. Without the fan, the room heated fine. It just took a little longer for it to warm it all up.

This product does hook up to natural gas, so you will need to purchase any of the pipe that would connect your natural gas to the fireplace. And have the skill to connect the new pipe to an existing line. Also, as with any natural gas fires, it will have a bluish hue to the flame at the bottom and an orange hue to the flame at the top. We think that is still far prettier then no flame at all!
