I live in Arizona and even on a hot day this AC cools off my garage. I especially like the auto/energy saver feature that turns off the Compressor and fan when the desired temp is reached. You need a sleeve to install this unit and the sleeve is made by Amana which is a little confusing.

Best Portable Butane Stove Deals

Portable Butane Stove
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
This butane stove is sturdy and strong. It's big enough that you don't have to worry about the whole thing tipping over, the way you do with a tiny camping stove.

The butane canister kind of looks like a large bottle of hairspray. It's simple to install the butane canister you just put the canister in there gently and flip a lever to connect it there's no chance that you will get it in there the wrong way. (You don't have to pour any fuel in with a funnel, or anything smelly like that.) When you are ready to store away the stove, you just disconnect the butane canister, pop the plastic cap back on, and put it away.

I found out that butane canisters can be purchased on the web, but the shipping costs are more than the cost of the canisters, so it's easier to buy them locally at restaurant supply stores, or sporting/camping stores. On the other hand, if you are in the middle of a big weather disaster, and every store in town is sold out of butane canisters, then who cares about how much it costs. Thankfully UPS and Fedex deliver will stuff to your door, even in the middle of a winter wind/ice storm. Normally a butane canister costs about $2 or $3, and lasts around 3 hours. It's better to have a few in the garage, because they sell out pretty fast during a big windstorm, even in a metro city area.

This is a great stove for when the power goes out. The next time we get a windstorm, and the power goes out for 3 days, like it did during the big windstorm of Jan 2007 in the metro Seattle area, I'm all set.

By the way, I would recommend getting a butane stove even if you have a generator, because you will need the generator to run some lights and a heater. It's not much fun to have to disconnect the heater and the lights from the generator, , in freezing weather. With a butane stove, you can have your coffee, and your lights and heater too. It makes life much more pleasant during a long power outage.

The stove comes in a nice case and is lightweight. You have to be careful to line up the groove in the butane canister and turn over the burner plate to expose the pot holders. It starts easily and has a variable flame. We got it primarily for when the power goes out and wanted a clean burning unit that we could use indoors. Butane is a cleaner burning fuel than the white gas used in our old camping equipment and this is a much more stable stove as well.

Best Deals for Portable Butane Stove

I wanted a portable butane stove to use in emergencies. I spent a long time reading reviews of different models, and had a hard time making a rational decision because, to tell the truth, stoves of this kind hardly differ in their feature sets at all. They all use the same 8oz butane canisters, all have piezoelectric igniters and let you adjust the flame from high down to nothing. As far as I know they're all light (including this one -some online data I saw gave its weight as 7 lbs., which is misleading at best as it's really more like 4) and I think most of them come in a plastic case. I finally chose this one because it had many reviews on Amazon, most of them positive, featured a 10,000 BTU burner, and had a carrying case right in the product photo so I knew for sure it came with one.

Although I only expect to use my stove in emergencies, I tested it out when I first got it. I put a pan of water on, and it boiled in a very reasonable time. However, there are some annoyances that I have to point out. First of all, as others have said, you have to make sure the notch on the fuel can is lined up with the pin on the fitting before you press down the lever that pulls the can into the fitting. Unfortunately there's no kind of guide to help you line it up, you just have to eyeball it. In contrast, I found an instructional video for the Sterno ActionStation stove, and it has a little tab that folds down into the slot so you know it's lined up correctly. In hindsight that would be a nice feature to have. Second, when you do push down the lever, the torque of the lever-driven assembly pulling the fuel can into the fitting causes the entire stove to bend a little bit out of shape until things are fully seated. This is a little alarming, so it would be nice if the stove were just a little more rigid. Third, the control knob is a little wobbly so it's hard to tell whether you have the gas set on "max" or "min" without actually looking at the flame. Finally, like most butane stoves of this kind, this model has only four supports for your pot or pan to sit on (as opposed to my kitchen range, which has eight). This makes it seem a bit precarious if you're using a small-diameter saucepan. It would be nice if the supports extended a little farther toward the center of the burner to provide better stability.

All in all, this stove is just fine and I'm going to keep it, but I can't give it five stars.

Honest reviews on Portable Butane Stove

This stove can come in really handy even without a power outage. Used it to cook brunch for a crowd. Also was handy during an outdoor BBQ as an extra burner to sautee onions next to the grill. Would be easier to clean if the base around the burner was a smoothe paint rather than dull. Overall, works well.

During the recent winter storms, I lost power for most of a weekend. With no way to cook (my stove is electric), I lived on crackers & cheese and cereal in frigid temperatures. I vowed that I was not going to go through another power outage like that, so I came to Amazon to find a solution.

I found and ordered this product and, while I haven't actually cooked on it yet, I have assembled it (with a butane canister that I purchased separately) and turned it on several times. It is very easy to set up, but there are a few things that I feel potential buyers should know:

1) It wasn't immediately obvious to me (and no instructions were included) that the burner top is shipped upside down, not right side up as shown in the product picture. So, upon opening the carrying case, you need to lift out the burner top and flip it over. Note that there are curved sides and a straight side--the burner will only fit into the stove one way, so you'll need to line up the curves on the burner with the curves on the stove for it to fit right.

2) When you insert the butane canister into the stove, look for an opening (a cutout of sorts) on the lip at the top of the butane can. Line up that opening with the stove's receptacle and then push down the lever on the front of the stove to lock it in place. If you put in the butane canister and you don't get a flame when you turn on the stove, it is likely because you did not align the canister properly (this happened to me twice).

3) Some reviewers have reported not being able to find butane canisters to fit this stove at their local hardware store. I bought a 4-pack of canisters on Amazon. If you do the same, be very careful to review shipping costs before adding it to your cart. Most if not all of the butane on Amazon isn't sold by Amazon but by other sellers and some of the shipping costs are outrageous--some are more than the cost of the butane! (I'm told that because butane is a flammable substance, the seller may have to pay an extra fee to ship it.)

4) The butane does put off fumes, so you'll need to use the stove in a ventilated area. I imagine most buyers of this product use it for camping, but I'm buying it for a cooking source during a power outage, so I'd use it on my balcony or outside my house.

5) Be careful about storing your butane canisters. My initial thought was to store them in the garage, but in the summer my garage gets quite warm, so I don't think it would be safe to store them there year-round.

I love that the stove comes in its own carrying case, so that I can store it easily and safely when it's not in use (which, in my case, will be most of the time). This way, I don't have to worry about dust and bugs getting in it and having to clean it each time before I can use it.

This is one of the best small heaters you can buy IMO.. I have owned one of these myself for 2 years and bought this current one on amazon for my girl friend so she can bring her living room up to temp a little better then the regular house heat does. These heaters are easy to use, there pretty quiet and I have never had any over heating issues etc.. I live in an older house and since heating the house is expensive I tend to only run this in my room when I'm home or have the day off.. I can turn this heater on when the rooms 48-55 degrees on average and watch the temp climb to 70-75 degrees within 20min.. it has no problem fighting the cold and will even start to heat up the cold hallway if I leave the door open by accident it's a pretty powerhouse unit for it's size if you ask me. The digital thermostat on it is pretty damn accurate.. i have a digital thermometer clock thingy in my room that sits around 6 feet away from the heater and it is always within 1 degree of the heater's set temp. If you got a small room, a small living room, bathroom, buy one of these you won't be sorry.

I bought this to replace one I had for years. It seems to be the only heater with an accurate thermostat. -All1500 Watt heaters give out the exact same amount of heat, whether it is a $30 box with glowing ribbons inside or a big piece of wooden furniture with a fancy looking heater inside. An oil filled radiator gives off heat when you shut it off because of how long it took to get warm in the first place. How these thing react to changing conditions is the only difference. This heater has a circuit board for clock, timer and accurate thermostat.

I would have given this 5 stars, as I loved it while it worked. Nice thermostat control and warmed the room nicely with fan blowing heat. BUT it stopped heating after one month of use. I saw that Consumer Reports rated this second to a $400. heater and was hopeful it would last at least one winter. I know Holmes products are cheap and only last a year at best. It does come with a one year warranty, but if you live 50 miles from civilization like I do, that's a whole lot of hassle just to get the product you bought for this very moment freezing cold! I'll never buy Holmes again. And I wish these reviews wouldn't put words in my mouth for the one star rating I don't hate it. I'm frustrated and disappointed and cold and not looking forward to the time and hassle it will take to make it right! I totally loved it while it worked! And I won't buy again from any company that only gives a one month return/exchange policy. If they did a simple exchange, I could have a working heater within the week.

A REVIEW PS: I spoke to the manufacturer (Holmes), and they couldn't have been nicer! They're sending me a new heater this week, just as I had hoped the original seller would do. They make good on their warranties, and it was no hassle at all as I had anticipated. I will buy Holmes again! They said it was highly unusual for this heater to stop heating. So I'm back to giving it 5 stars... once it arrives and is working!

I needed a small, lightweight heater to warm-up the bathroom on cold winter mornings. This one one did it in spades. On cold winter mornings, this little heater quickly warmed up a freezing bathroom in no time. Before finishing brushing my teeth, the bathroom was warm and cozy to shower. A comfortable temperature was maintained as long as I was in the bathroom. This heater is small about 13 in. square and very quiet. And best of all, the price was very reasonable.

Recently experienced some winter power outages & realized a dire need for some 'peace-of-mind' during any future episodes! Consequently, this came in handy yesterday 12-19-2011, when the furnace happened to fail out! I am in the White Mountain range, and it was only 9 degrees when this happened; this little guy kept us from freezing to death, literally! BTW, i am in a 2000+ sq. foot home, 2 level, so even though that's much more space than this one is actually capable of heating, the heat naturally moved upstairs & throughout the house & kept it 'livable', regardless! ;) This unit provides more than enough heat to 'camp-out' & survive a no-heat situation comfortably for probably up to 1000sq. feet in a pinch, if it's not too, TOO cold out! ;) The heater does EXTREMELY well, is VERY efficient (around 99.7%!), and a perfect emergency-type or 'supplemental' heating source. It is NOT recommended as a primary heat source as it is NOT vented and even illegal for use in some states (Massachusetts) because of this, so check w/ your state laws 1st before ordering...Note: this unit should NOT be used in a bathroom or bedroom, only a 'primary' (and open!) living space/quarters!...

When you order this heater, be sure to get an appropriate regulator assembly/hose to go with it, as the pressure needs to be 'stepped-down' to 11-13WC, or around 1/2 to 1 PSI in normal human speaking terms! ;) It is NOT meant to be connected directly to the LP gas supply (like you would a natural gas system) without incoming gas pressures first being regulated down; it will blow the valve system & would NOT be covered under any warranties! :P ...

As this unit is VENT-FREE...just for peace of mind for you 'worry-wart' type people (like me!), I would wholeheartedly recommend the use of a reputable carbon monoxide detector in the home this is to be used to protect you & your loved-ones from any dangers...the unit IS equipped w/ an ODS system, that will automatically shut the unit down if there not enough available oxygen (for you!) in the room it is operating, so that helps ease some worries!...Just so you know, my heater is operating in the downstairs 1000 sq. feet living space, in a 10x15 living-room, CO detector @ farthest wall from heater; it's a KIDDE Nighthawk digital CO detector Kidde KN-COPP-3 Nighthawk Plug-In Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Backup and Digital Display (VERY good!) & has registered ZERO '0' ppm since firing up the heater in the same room! not too shabby! ;)...my detector also has the 'explosive gas' detector built in as well, which comes in REAL handy when dealing w/ LP (propane) gas, as it heavier than air, sinks low, & tends to 'pool' up in lower or enclosed spaces, just waiting for a spark! :O Natural gas is a lil' bit 'friendlier', 'cause when it leaks off, it is lighter than air, & tends to float up, intermingling w/ other air & usually finding places to dissipate & escape with other heated air leaving the home! ;)

Just a bit of info regarding a specific feature on this unit (and actually one of the reasons I chose this model over the other brands!) is a unique digital temperature readout display on the top right corner of the housing, where the thermostat control is located; you can see a pic of it in image two @ the top of the page...Well, this particular feature is NOT included with this unit. I have contacted Mr. Heater regarding this feature and why it is missing...they explained that, although it was a really nice feature to have, customers were 'getting confused' as to what it was & how it related to heater operation???...O-kaay?...so that feature has been omitted from ALL 2011 built units as of January, 2011. This includes ALL units, both LP and natural gas, infrared AND blue-flame units included; SO, if you really appreciated (& wanted!) this feature like I did, the only way to obtain it is to find a 2010 (last years model) unit in somebody's 'old-stock' in their warehouse...I have not had any leads...good luck! >:(

I suppose it's not that important, but I thought it was a handy & useful feature to have w/ a heater...I mean, practically ALL those little ceramic heaters now run on digital temp controls & readouts now too, right!?! :O Consequently, all the pics and descriptions for any of the newer 20-30k BTU units of this nature including the digital temps are incorrectly advertised & need to be updated as such to reflect the omission of this nifty lil' feature... :(

PROS:

VERY efficient

Fan unit INCLUDED with this model (costs $30-50 xtra charges w/ similar units!)

'Free-standing' feet INCLUDED w/ this model (also additional costs w/ others)

ELECTRONIC ignition; VERY nice, compared to the click, click, click push-button BBQ igniters (which rarely work half the time!)

very COZY, & nice radiant heat literally POURS from the face of this heater! :) warms the bones! ;)

very easy to hook up & start using, right outta-the-box!

NO electricity needed whatsoever for operation!...of course the blower wont operate, but it's a nice QUIET & COZY heat! :)

CONS:

Fan unit not very powerful, & slightly on the loud side, a little quieter than a hairdryer on 'low' setting; doesn't move much heat, but the radiant heat helps w/ that issue on it's own! ;) ...it CAN however be set to 'ON' or 'AUTO' or OFF! (which is nice when you don't want to hear it!), AND it is automagically turned on by heat & cuts out when the heater cools down, so no 'human-thought' required when using! :)

Has the ability to burn up fuel pretty quick if you leave it up 'high' for a quite awhile...of course it WAS only 10 degrees! bbbrrrr! :O

Unit REALLY stinks when you use it 1st time, burning off paints/oil/new stuff...recommend burning OUTSIDE for awhile HOT to burn off the bad smelling stuff & 'cure' the unit before indoor use (I didn't have a choice!) :(

Kinda misleading pics/description regarding the digital temp display feature, should be updated to reflect this issue

FYI...vent-free units are VERY efficient heaters, HOWEVER, one important snippet of knowledge that most don't know, or are not usually told about, is the fact that these types of heaters have the capacity to release up to a QUART (32oz) of water vapor into your house while in operation (burning); this is due to the fact that there is no venting for the exhaust gases to escape...hence your awesome efficiency is ALSO the culprit of unneeded water vapor...BUT, this is somewhat negated by the fact that a heater is most likely used in the Winter (cold!) months...humidity levels are usually alot lower in the Winter, and as a result, most people usually choose to add water to their homes (humidifiers, steam pots on the wood-stove, etc.)during these times anyway to help reduce chapped hands & lips, dry skin, & lowering the chance of catching a cold, sore throat or getting sick! So the extra moisture could actually be seen as a 'PRO' depending on how you view it!...too much moisture in the home can obviously be a problem as well! :P

...All in all, I find ALOT of positive benefits regarding this heater & it also works really well for what it was designed to do (possibly heating even better than it was rated by sq footage!)...I would totally recommend this heater for anyone needing a back-up emergency or supplemental heat source for not really alot of money @ all! Geez, very economical in fact compared to 'commercially' available installs/solutions! It's 'The Great Lil' Heater that Could!' & does the job very nicely, thank you!

Happy Holidays 2011 & stay WARM!!! ;)

This heater is amazing! Not only does it pump out incredible heat for its size, but it's so efficient that it doesn't use much propane. I would recommend it to anyone. The only thing I would change is for it to come with a connector for hooking it up. I bought this with the Red Dragon low pressure propane hook up kit and neither the kit nor the heater come with the correct connector to hook them together! You need to go to the hardware store to buy the connector which is $3 to $4. Other than that, though, this heater makes my 1,000 sq. foot rehearsal studio very comfortable. No more practicing with a sweater on!

I received the heater yesterday and connected it. As I installed it I noticed one corner was damaged an little; apparently someone dropped it on the corner. Since I already had the box opened and the holes drilled to install I decided to not send it back, the damage was cosmetic. They provide a paper template for placing the holes, they matched the holes in the panel. I find the heater provided moderate heat in one of my basement rooms. It would not be much value in an uninsulated room, or a very large room. However, it suits my needs to take the chil out of an interior room in the basement.

Here is a video of the GHP L-20W Pleasant Hearth 20" Electric Crackling Natural Wood Log in action, situated in an actual fireplace. The log assembly is sitting atop the grate that GHP makes specifically for the L-20W. (Video updated on 2/5/11)

I am a very picky decorator and I would prefer a real fireplace, but after hearing my hubby gripe about gas prices and only turning on my gas fireplace for special occasions, I looked for an inexpensive option, and this was perfect. Honestly, with a little doctoring it looks great. I already had a decorative screen and log rack, which really adds to the effect. I also added a small piece of wood across the lit window in the front so it did not look like a perfect rectangle of orange light, which also looks great. I read on another site that some people hid a mirror (or piece of foil) behind the flame to enhance the glow (I haven't tried that, but it might add to the glow effect). The turn on switch is in an odd place, so we plugged it into one of those add in plugs that can be turned on right at the plug or by remote, which is great. The "crackling" sound is a bit odd, but hardly noticeable really. If you play with the piece of metal by bending it, it almost sounds like a true crackle. Put it this way...it's A GREAT DEAL FOR THE MONEY (and you can have it on in any kind of weather)!!!!

Best Deals for GHP Group Pleasant Hearth 20" Electric Crackling Natural Wood Log

This was surprisingly nice electric fire log. They use real wood in the construction, so it actually looks pretty good -maybe not so much when you take it out of the box and sit it on the table, but when it's in your fireplace it looks rather realistic. Turning it on only enhances that realistic appearance even more -it really does look like a glowing, crackling fire, and unless you point out that it's fake, most people would probably not give it a second glance . They'd just think you had a nice fire going. You can increase or decrease the "crackling" noise of the "fire" by bending the metal shield in the back in/out. I also enhanced the overall look by adding some more wood sticks to the front of it so it didn't look quite so perfect of a stack of wood.

Now, it's not without its faults. The first one I received started humming loudly shortly after I first used it. It rapidly got to the point of annoyance where it was simply unusable, so I sent it back for an exchange. The second one seems to be doing better, but I have noticed a bit of a motor hum sometimes. For this one I dampened the vibration/hum a little by putting a piece of foam pipe insulation under each "foot" where it touched the metal grate of my fireplace. I think this helps with the vibration by reducing it going into the medal grate, which is what I believe amplifies that hum.

I ended up installing mine on a wireless remote that also controls all my lights, so I'm able to sit in a chair, push a button, and start my fire. Not clap-on/clap-off, but pretty close! It's pretty nice for what it is. I don't see how any of these fake, non-heating fireplaces could be any better, even though some are hundreds of dollars more expensive. This one does the trick and for a relatively cheap price.

Edit: One more thing -don't waste your money on the high priced decorative grate that is specifically designed for this product. Just about any fireplace grate will do. I picked up one from a local hardware store for $12 that works perfectly.

Honest reviews on GHP Group Pleasant Hearth 20" Electric Crackling Natural Wood Log

I purchased a used electric fireplace that is old, very beautiful and just not made like this anymore. However because of a broken part the electric fire was not operable and I have been looking and pondering for almost one year what to do about the situation as I was not going to part with my beautiful electric fireplace with mantel. Wallah you had the answer and now I am in electric fireplace "LOG HEAVEN."

I did not need the heater as I have excellent heat in this independent living facility that I live in. My apartment is small and without a fireplace which is one thing that I will not do without even if I buy my own and carry it with me wherever I go. I did some extra decorative work to make it look more real and in a way you cannot tell that it is a fake. I think it might be able to fool a very young child at first sight and maybe fool the younger child a longer period of time.

These logs are at a price that the poor can afford and much, much lower in price than they could be. The video shows the electric logs as they actually are and so does the advertisement picture of them. These logs are a real blessing for me and I will pray for the inventor and maker of them as he or she is blessing people with these.

Well I received these logs in 2011 and every winter beginning in November it is turned on and stays turned on round the clock until March comes in. At Christmas it is awesome to look at and everyone that sees it like it very much.

One lady could not believe it had no heat and went directly up to it and put her hand directly on the fake fire. No heat at all. I am blessed, I am so blessed with these logs.

I loved this little crackling fire at first. It looked great in my vintage, acorn fireplace. However, after only two weeks the motor has gone. Now it is so annoyingly loud I can't even turn it on. It first started making excessive noise after only one week. I found by positioning it differently it became quiet again but only for a short time. I live in Ontario, so shipping it back to Amazon for an exchange will cost me at least $25. and I don't think that it's worth it. I will most likely have to find some place to have it fixed. So sad.

This product goes hand in hand with GE Defrost Heater. May not be necessary but worth getting for a little extra insurance of having things work well.

DO NOT BUY THIS PART! The thermostat fails in the continuous position causing the fridge to overheat. It is supposed to switch off around 30-40F. Instead this thermostat didn't switch off until 100F !!! Returning

If you are going to the trouble of replacing the defrost heater in a GE by removing the ice maker, the light, the condenser fan, and then melting all of the ice that built up, spend the few more dollars and replace this guy at the same time! In my refrigerator, I had to cut the wires between the old thermostat and the wiring harness, then use wire nuts to put the replacement into the circuit. So, be prepared to solder and heat-shrink, use electrical tape, or use wire nuts like I did.

This part works WITH the defrost heater, so replace them both at the same time and be done with the job!

The seller shipped FAST and it arrived well-packaged.

HVAC guys wanted $1000 to install this. I just had to replace an old one. With the help of their great customer support, I was able to slide this one right in. Been in for about 2 months in a studio apartment I rent out. Tenant is happy with it.

We replaced a GE AZ41H12DAB 11,800 BTU Unit and I was concerned with GE's durability since that unit was only about 5 years old. However the condenser fan had broken on that unit and while performing that simple repair I decided to clean up the base plate and repaint it and most likely caused a slow leak in the refrigerant system because it worked well for a short period before quitting again. With that unit using the older refrigerant that is getting costly to buy and the cost of diagnosis and repair I decided to replace it and worry about fixing it later so I will have a spare unit. Some research led me to stick with GE because of their reputation for durability and that they are one of the quietest and the most efficient PTACs made.

Slid the old one out, slid this one in, hooked up the external programmable digital thermostat, plugged it in and it works like a charm. The 15K BTU runs for much shorter periods than the older 12K BTU unit and the best thing is that it is much quieter than the old unit. It is the quietest PTAC I have ever heard.

Seems to be a quiet machine and hoping that it will be a little better energy efficient than the other one I have.

It arrived nicely packed and everything . I was so happy to finally have ac because my old one broke and i needed to replace it as soon as possible because it was like 100 degrees outside. worked for like 4 minutes and then it stopped . Great now what? Good it has the warranty. It was hard to get someone to come out and fix it. It took over a week for people to come out .. So they took ac with them . they said once its fixed they will call me. Its been 2 weeks and no one is calling me. I called them and all they are saying the replacement parts havent arrived yet. OMG how much longer I am suffocating from the heat!!!so seriously its beed like a month and i am without ac.

All the reviews are great . And i do feel happy this AC is so great. I just want to see it myself too and the company should really care more about customers and speed up the process of fixing it.

We use it on a wall heater in the bathroom and it works great. Wonderful to get out of the shower to a warm room and this timer keeps me from worrying about the kids leaving the heater on forever.

Have a Cadet wall heater in the bathroom that we used with this timer. It is so much easier to turn it on for a few minutes and not have to worry that the kids or the husband forgets to turn it off. I expect to save on the electric bill with the timer because we won't be wasting time heating a room were no one is in.
