Living in the snow belt of NY state and using space heaters as the main source of heat in my home for the last few winters, I know a thing or two about them. I haven't been able to afford a heating oil delivery, so naturally, I turned to electric heat.

My first heater purchase was a highly rated $75 radiant heater which was alright, except it was pretty darn big, and the heat it provided seemed so-so for the price I paid. The next one was a $50 bionaire heater which was still rather large and so-so for the price I paid.

Being on a budget, my next two heaters were this particular one. I love how small they are, and it can get downright HOT, even on the coldest nights if you don't have it on medium/low. I had them running almost on a constant basis for 6 months, 2 years running, and this is the third year and have had no issues with them quitting on me. I did go and buy them from a physical store, so maybe bad handling was the case with others who had a problem with it.

Anyway, on the subject of electric bills, mine were pretty high. A winter of electric bills was pretty much equivalent to a winters worth of heating oil, but at least I didn't have to pay that in a lump sum, up front.

I needed a couple of new inexpensive space heaters so I decided to do a bake off between this LASKO 754200 and the HOLMES HFH111T.

Both have a single fan speed, and a choice of fan only, low heat, and high heat.

Both have a thermostat which will turn the unit off once the desired temperature is reached.

Both have internal over temperature protection which needs to be reset by unplugging the device and letting things cool down.

LASKO PLUS

The light is lit if the unit is plugged in so you know if it's plugged in by a look only. I want to leave space heaters unplugged when I'm not around and this makes it easy to tell.

Quieter than HOLMES: ~55DB vs the HOLMES 60DB

Seems more efficient at heating a given volume of air. Passing my hand in front of either unit at about 18 inches away with heat on high, my hand got rather hot with the LASKO which seemed to have good even hot air distribution over an arc +/-20 degrees of center, but the HOLMES air distribution seemed uneven with more air going to one side, and my hand never got uncomfortable.

HOLMES PLUS

Simpler packaging: no internal packaging.... LASKO had: 2 pieces of pressed formed cardboard, plastic wrapping and tape to recycle.

The light is lit once the switch is no longer in the OFF position, even if the thermostat has caused the fan to turn off. Thus you can look at the light to know that the heater *may* be on. With the LASKO you need to look at the switch to make sure it's going to stay off.

More sensitive thermostat. It takes only a 5 or 10 degree rotation to get the thermostat to go on or off, while the LASKO took about 30 degrees.

May very well move more air for the noise.

Tip over protection. It has a weight on a switch. If the unit leaves vertical by more then 60 degrees tipping front or back, the unit will shut off.

BOTTOM LINE

If no kids or cats I'd recommend LASKO. If tip over is a concern, the the HOLMES is an acceptable low cost solution.

The LASKO will go in my office where I will appreciate the quiet and the more direct heat, and the HOMES will in the bathroom where the noise and uneven direct heating is less of an issue.

This heater is not a bad heater if you don't mind the noise. We bought it for our baby's room and took it back next day. When the heater goes on it is just too noisy so our baby would wake up. It is cheap, it works but it is awful noisy.

Honest reviews on Holmes HFH111T-U Desktop Heater Fan with Comfort Control Thermostat

I bought this heater 2 years ago. For my laundry room to keep my dog and her 10 puppies warm through the cold winter. Warmed the room within 10 mins and if kept on high it was too DARN HOT! Best thing about this heater if the pups ever knoked it over it shut off. After two years of having this heater it hasn't failed me yet. And it has been thrown knocked over and stomped on by my dogs. Very Harty heater does a great job! Of and my laundry room has a dog door and windows all around so not very insulated. I would run it 6 hours a day every day and didn't even see a change in the pge bill

First of all, I agree with prior reviewers that this unit is very noisy vs. other forced air space heaters.

The primary reason for my negative review, though, is that I think this unit is downright dangerous. I used this unit on the "low" setting for about 12 mos (used only in winter months). It worked fine. Today, for the first time, I used it on the high setting. It had been on for about one hour, when one of the internal supports for the heating coils collapsed. This caused the coils to collapse into the metal fan, which then caused a short. A huge flame shot out of the front of the unit and turned the plastic housing black. If I hadn't been sitting there to unplug it immediately who knows what might have happened. This unit has basically never been moved, so the weakness in the support is not due to operator misuse. It is likely a manufacturing and/or design issue.

Very poor design. It's cheap for a reason. Don't risk your safety for a few bucks.

Moved into a small 50's chalet in northern Michigan last fall and after being warned by the previous owner that i should get a woodstove to cure the cold feel of the place, i found this enexpensive radiant heater and ordered it. I knew that a ventless heater could cause water vapor issues and hoped for the best. Windows can be a bit foggy on cold nights but not a serious worry with a ceiling fan to move air. The forced air furnace seldomly turns on now with the heater on low setting so im sure the heating bill will be minimal. The house is now a steady 68 F Too cold for some but just right for me. Nicely built unit with no frills and a function first look but it's a wall heater not a fireplace. Great economy for tough times.

Says variable temperature assumed you could set it to a desired temperature. However this is not the case. It is either hi or low. I don't know who really

has a use for a heater that does not shut off when it reaches your desired temperature. Otherwise lights well and way over heats my smaller office.

I generally only leave reviews for the best and the worst products that I buy here on Amazon. Thankfully, this product falls into the former.

I am pretty hard to please in general but this little stove won me over right from the start even while still removing it from it's box.

Growing up in wintry New England, we heated our modest little house in the sticks with wood stoves. This was not without it's unpleasantries. Lugging wood into the cellar and enduring bloody noses and dry skin from the moisture-sucking heated air was never my favorite but I must admit there is nothing like the sound and smell of a wood stove on a cold January night.

After living in Southern California for the last 13 years, I recently grew nostalgic for my childhood. I live in an apartment and a real stove is not possible so I looked for solutions that didn't require venting or actual wood and came across the Duraflame 4600 btu.

It's built solidly, with a nice patina that does resemble an old cast iron stove. It's also a very good size, not too big and not too small. Perfect for the corner of the living room in my 700 sq foot 1 bedroom apartment.

I was rather dubious as to the quality of the 'flames' so I wasn't expecting much when I flipped on the switch (nicely hidden by a solid glass door) to activate them. It turns out they look very realistic. The coals even look convincing. I sat with a glass of wine and watched them dance for at least 30 minutes, happily reminiscing.

After being completely spell-bound, I remembered to test out the heater part finally. It has a blower underneath that directs the heat out the front. I tested underneath, behind, on top, and found no heat except where it should be. That's reassuring to me, knowing that the heat will always be confined to a cone coming from underneath the front.

I even placed a candle on top and left it there for 10 mins. It did not melt at all. It does get hot around the circumference of the bottom surface but that's about it.

All in all, I am extremely satisfied with this product. It's going to be a big hit at my Christmas dinner party. Buy this thing immediately. you won't be disappointed.

I am already showing it off to my neighbors ...

This is a video of my heater. The flames look really real!Everyone who sees it loves it and wants one.I am now able to keep my central heater at 70, and still have a warm home. Heats from the floor up so your feet and legs stay warm, which central heat doesn't always do that well. I absolutely love this heater/fireplace! Perfect size for bedroom, bathroom or small living room(like I have, 20"x20")Why didn't I get one of these sooner!

Update! 1/5/2012...

I had this heater almost a year now. And I just wanted to say...I STILL LOVE IT! Small size, but puts out the heat. I have a 870sq ft home. And this little fireplace keeps at least half of it warm. It may heat all. But I keep the bedroom doors closed dues to little dogs in the home. But the little ones(dogs) all really enjoy the fireplace as well. Bottom line. Get it. You won't be disappointed!

I bought this item yesterday. Ordered it through Northland Metal for $79. Quite nice and compact. You can use the flame/log without turning on the heat.

It gives a very nice fireplace efffect coming from a small stove. The heating element is very powerful and warms up the room quite fast. I bought because of the terrible cold winter we had last year here in Tampa, FL. I suspect it will be another cold few months of temps in the 30s and 20s. So I bought it for that reason. You won't be sorry very nicely made.

Honest reviews on Duraflame Vent-Free Metal Stove - 4600 BTU, 400 Sq. Ft. Heating

I purchased this stove instead of the Dimplex model that is almost identical because I liked the design of the door better and I thought that Duraflame was a respected brand. I know someone that has the Dimplex and absolutely loves it. I read the reviews of the Dimplex and there are tons of them and almost all extremely positive. I thought the fact that there were only a few reviews for this stove might be because it was newer to the market. The stove looks fine. Was delivered in good condition, and is easy to just plug in. No assembly of any kind. The flame is a resonable facsimile of a real fire, so all that is fine. But within a few weeks the motorized parts that rotate to make the look of fire started to make noise. Also, the heat blower makes noise. So the fire plus the blower make some pretty audible noise. If you turn off the heat blower you have what is essentially an annoying noise that actually makes me have to turn the TV up louder. Sometimes the noise gets quiter. Sometimes it gets louder. It would be too much trouble to return it so I'm stuck with it. I'll never order something this large from Amazon again.

We've had this Vitapur cooler/heater for approximately 1.5 years. And I have had to replace the main circuit board once. My time +$25(Can) for a replacement board. This because we could not find our purchase receipt(we purchased at a local bricks&mortar). The circuit board was full of corrosion.

This past summer the heater stopped working. (the connection to the element appears to be corroded and was making poor contact and now the contact is completely burned off).

The final straw is that the cooler stays on and freezes the water in the reservoir to a solid block of ice.

I would leave the whole thing on the curve tonight for garbage pickup but it's got freon in it so I have to take it to the local hazardous waste disposal.

It is a shame the design & build quality is so poor, the machine is attractive looking and was exactly what we were looking for.

Looks great, works great. Took a chance with some bad reviews because I liked the design. Looks very well built.

Paired it with the Greenway water filter.

I like the on-demand hot water. Some reviewers did not. It only takes a few min. to boil. Very hot! The blue LED lighting in the dispensing area is kinda cool too.

I'll give it 6 months and update my review.

-->> ***Update at 6 month ownership***

Have owned for 6 months now. Still give it 5 stars. Only problem I've had... Once time I hit the hot water button and nothing happened. Just unplugged the cooler and plugged it back in. Worked fine after that.

It's still cooling great and is very quiet. Actually quieter than when new. Hot water is still boiling hot. No leaks, no nothing!

Will update at one year or if I have an issue earlier than that. Again, very happy with this purchase.

To bad you can't rate this with minus 5 stars...had to give it a (1)star. Purchased a Vitapur water dispenser a few weeks ago. Like other reviewers stated, their patiented "hot" water system, and I use the term 'hot' loosely, will only provide a cup of hot water in about 3 minutes. It is not a constant hot water dispenser like others I had, and the cold water even on max is not much over room temperature, and again not much over a cup at a time without having the machine re-chill. It has no on/off switches, and the water jug piercing spindle for standard water jugs is longer than most, with holes only on the top of the spindle so even though the water jug is empty the cap "well" is left with water standing that needs to be removed with a towel because if you place a new water jug in, when it seats, water splashes up and over the sides and surroundings. It may be stylish, but no where near fuunctional if your looking to have instant hot water and cold water like conventional multi-temperature dispensers. Might as well use a microwave or coffee pot to heat water...it's quicker!

My recommendation is don't waste your money like I did and stay away from this water dispenser. I'm now looking for a different 3 temperature water dispenser,.... to return it to Greenway/Vitapur would cost me about $100 between restocking fees and shipping.

I purchased this dipenser about 2 weeks ago and returned it. This dispenser do not have hot water automaticlly, you would need to press a hot instant buttom to boil it, and it only gives you almost one cup. also if you boil it and not use, it will cool down, you have to reboil, it takes about a min to 3 mins to boil.

We use this machine in an office with 13 people and frequent guests. With a Zero Water filtration system it produces a lot of water every day. The instant hot feature makes it much more efficient than a machine that keeps water hot all the time.

We bought this heater to replace a vertical, standing quartz heater, because our dogs would get too close to the quartz heater and face it, which is bad for anyone to do. This heater avoids that problem entirely, while warming its surroundings quite handily. We like the ability to customize the distribution pattern of the heat as well as the ability to set the temperature either as a unit or individually, however there was no instruction sheet, so learning how to use the various features had to be learned by trial and error. Nonetheless, this is a well-built system with good design and excellent safety features. The only improvement we would suggest is quieter fans in the units.

We purchased this heater two years ago and liked it so well we have purchased three more. It is sturdy, well-built (with a cast aluminum element--no thin metal to make noise), and unobtrusive. It is absolutely silent. None of our units has ever made noise. Granted, it has no fan and works by convection only, but having a room heater without the fan noise or the incessant clunking is wonderful. We use ours as bedroom heaters and they work perfectly. Think of this heater as a small, supplemental baseboard heater.

This is the same unit as the Lasko 5605. Air King and Lasko share many products...

Honest reviews on Air King 8605 Low Profile Die-Cast Heater with Adjustable Thermostat

If you are looking to heat-up an entire room... even a small room... this is not the product for you. It has no fans to distribute the heat, and it does not produce a large amount of heat (though the top grill gets hot enough that you cannot touch it for more than about 2 seconds, before you would feel the need to withdraw your hand).

In spite of that, I am pleased with this product, and I will tell you why:

I only needed to heat up a very small area... within about four feet of the heater... by about 5 degrees more than the ambient room temperature... to make the area around a personal office / computer work station more cozy on winter mornings.

It is able to do that... and unlike the vast majority of personal space heaters on the market... it is DEAD SILENT. No fans... and no periodic clunking / clicking / pinging noises.

If you only need to heat up a very small area (like around your desk), and you require not just "quiet operation" but indeed "absolutely silent operation"... this is an excellent choice.

If you are seeking to warm-up an entire bedroom... no... this is not what you want... you need a heater that has fans to distribute the heat around the room more efficiently... and yes, that is going to make at least a little bit of noise.

So I do recommend this item... but again... only for warming up a very small area of "personal space" in an environment where absolutely silent operation is preferred. Within those limitations... this product is a good choice.
