Discount Koolatron 33 qt. Kargo Kooler

My Kargo Kooler arrived damaged in a dented box without any interior packing materials. The lid doors were warped and a little loose, a screw was missing from a hinge, the cheap plastic lid latch did not work properly, and I could not use this cooler vertically as a "refrigerator" because the heavy bottom door sagged badly. Perhaps attaching the heavy cooling unit to a lid door is a design flaw of this model.

The Kargo Kooler arrived a day before a 1600-mile road trip: I tested it en route to the Deep South in April as a chest cooler for exotic cheeses and a frozen pork roast, plugged into a socket in the cargo area of my Subaru Forester. I also splurged for the the optional AC adapter so I could plug it in at hotels. It cooled things superbly, despite lid problems. Yes, it may be a bit noisy in quiet office/home environments, but I did not notice its hum above road noise or the loud blasts of heating/cooling in highway hotel rooms.

My unit was obviously damaged from shipping, so I'm returning it to Amazon for a refund. Just check the lid covers and hinges very closely for damage and/or defects if you order this item.

I liked this enough to give Koolatron a second chance: I just ordered Koolatron's slightly smaller rolling mini-fridge model which may better suit my needs, has an adjustable thermostat, and should tuck away nicely and discreetly under the cargo area blind of my Subaru.

I got this as a sort of "extra" frig for drinks in the summer. However, it freezes up easily and can't be adjusted for temperature. It is lightweight and portable, working well for a drink chest for parties.

Also, the plug in that comes with it was missing. It only plugs into a car outlet--I had to buy the adapter to use it in the house.

Given the choice, I'd probably go with a small refrig that adjusts temperature. However, again, I like the portability of this product.

Used this on my road trip, it did great keeping all my food and drinks cold. Even when driving through the hot desert of 90 degree weather, it did cool down below 40 degrees from outside temperature, so it was 50 degrees inside cooler for our food. Warmer does great, can use up to 4 hrs maximum. Either cooler or warmer, plug into 12v lighter when car is running or will drain your car battery. It stays cool when at picnic and cannot plug cooler in.

Only concern is when fans running, its loud inside the car. When driving the road noise blends it out. After awhile you don't even think about it. Not too bulky in the backseat. Easily used seat belts to help hold it down when driving, such as around corners. Greatly recommend this cooler/warmer. My friend had a different brand and didn't work well. This one is a great portable fridge. Plus bought adapter from Amazon.com to use at hotel rooms, plug right in to wall outlet.

Honest reviews on Koolatron 33 qt. Kargo Kooler

The hinge on the door was broken on arrival even though the packaging was not damaged. It seems like the double door concept with the heavy cooler mechanism on the door put a lot of stress on the plastic hinge. Good concept, but poor execution. I had to return it before we could even turn it on....

WE GOT INTO THE TRANSPORTATION BUSINESS AND NEEDED A SMALL FRIDGE TO KEEP DOWN THE COST OF FOOD.. WE HAVE USED THIS KOOLATRON ALMOST STEADY FOR A MONTH NOW. IT KEEPS ON GOING. THE ONLY THING BETTER WOULD BE IF IT WAS VERSITLE TO PLUG INTO CAR AND HOME. WE BOUGHT AN ADAPTER TO TAKE IT INTO MOTELS AND SUCH TO BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE.. WE JUST LOVE IT THOUGH. WE RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY.

Comfort Zone® Oscillating Parabolic Dish Radiant Heater CZ998 Reviews

Comfort Zone® Oscillating Parabolic Dish Radiant Heater CZ998
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

We had an inexpensive Omni heater with two heating bulbs, but one of them burned out. First I replaced the Omni with a fan forced ceramic heater that proved unsatisfactory. On the same day I returned the one and bought this model; they may have passed each other on the road.

The Comfort Zone Dish is not nearly as large as the Amazon listed dimensions led me to believe. Measuring the back of the heater, I came up with a generous 15 inch diameter. Its heating source appears to be a ceramic cone with coiled wire wrapped around the outside of the cone. As the wire heats and glows, heat is produced and reflected from the concave parabola behind it. Only a little more than half of the wire coils glow. The unit has no fan.

A radiant heater warms the object or person who is the target of the radiated heat; it's not the heater to buy if you want something to warm an entire room. Mrs. Spudman occasionally smokes on the unheated porch and when she does she wants to pack some direct heat on herself.

She is pleased with the heater; it heats fast with an intense, penetrating heat. Often she'll use the oscillation feature because a steady heat can become too hot. I narrowed my heater search to this heater and one with two vertical, halogen tubes;it also oscillates but doesn't tilt. She wanted a heater that could tilt up and down, so we chose this heater.

The plastic body on the Comfort Zone heater isn't the sturdiest, only only time will tell us about its longevity. Its controls are simple and easy to adjust. If I had to do it over again, I might go with a model with the two halogen lamps that are said to simulate the sun's spectrum. Among makers of the halogen lamp models are Comfort Zone and Soleus.

NOTE When I searched for heaters in mid February I found slim pickings in Home Depot and four models in the local Ace. Amazon has a fabulous selection and with Prime the heater was delivered the next day after the order was placed.

And another NOTE The Comfort Zone radiant heater is a product of China.

Has been working very well. I hope it lasts a long time, that is my only concern.

I like the safety feature of the button on the base that retracts and shuts the heater down if it falls over.

I bought this heater for my 90 year old Dad. This product was easy for him to learn how to use. Especially love the safety features(turns off at overheating & turns off if tipped over). I was worried that my Dad wouldn't be able to move it from room to room but it was so lightweight that he enjoys it in every room. The oscillation is also a great feature because it heats up a larger area. I was very pleased with how quickly the product was delivered. All in all it is wonderful & I thank Amazon for the speedy service.

It works fine as a heater, with nice slim design and buttons.

But it's a bit louder than I thought it'd be!!

I even phoned them to check if I this is normal and they admitted that they make some sound, unlike their humidifier.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to sleep with it on.

I might return it after few days, depends on how well it warms up the room.....

Very capable medium sized heater. It was able to heat up my medium sized room to 70 degrees within 30 minutes while on the low setting. I live in Boston, and the electric heating bills during the winter months are ridiculous. So, I'm hoping this heater can keep my room warm at a reasonable rate as compared to my electric baseboards. The heater, has an excellent, easy to use touch sensitive display and looks very sleek.

Honest reviews on Crane EE-6353 Space Heater 600/1200 Watt

This space heater arrived promptly and in excellent condition. The only problem is that it is adequate for small rooms only. I wish the heater were a bit more powerful. However, it is attractive and adequate for small areas and when only a minimum amount of extra heating is desired.

Amazon carries another heater by the same maker as this one, it is the "Crane EE-6490 Space Heater 600/1200 Watt". The Product Features and Details seem to be switched on these two. At least this is my assumption; check them both out and you will probably agree.

For instance, the larger one is probably the one that is 20" tall, and the smaller one 8.6" tall. Another important difference: the smaller one probably does not come with a remote, but the larger one probably does.

Holmes Wall Mount Space Heater Fan Review

Holmes HFH442-UM Heater Fan with 1Touch Control and ALCI Plug
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I own two of these, one in a small bathroom, and one in a larger 9' X 9' bathroom.

The unit is compact; it has a plastic part that you fasten into the wall, and then the heater rotates sideways to fit into it, then back to vertical to lock in place.

The controls have a power button, a LOW button, a HIGH button, and several temperature settings. We don't use the temperature settings, so I won't comment on them here. The heater works great in both locations; the small bathroom uses low heat and the larger bathroom uses high heat.

One needs to be aware that when powering off the unit, you have to hold the button; the lights will change (clockwise), but the next time you power on the unit, the last setting you used will be set. In other words, if you have the unit on HIGH and you PRESS the power button, it will go to LOW heat. In the same situation if you HOLD the power button, the light will indicate LOW heat for a second before the unit turns off, but the next time you power up it will be in HIGH heat.

The unit has an overtemp circuit if it gets too hot it will shut down and it requires a lot of time to completely cool before it will allow a power up. We discovered this when we attempted HIGH heat in our smaller bathroom but now we save energy by using the LOW setting, so it was a good experience.

The unit also has an ALCI plug, which means that if you drop it in the tub or just generally get it wet, the unit will disconnect from the mains and is not hazardous the plug will simply blow it's circuit and the unit shuts down. This is perfect for bathrooms.

Excellent unit, great operation, nice design. Recommended.

I bought this heater last year for the guest bathroom thinking it was inexpensive, and small.

Now that it started getting cold again I could not find the bigger heater for my master bath, so I got this "little one". I mounted it on the wall (away from the bathtub and shower). It took all of one minute to mount it.

The thermostat setting is great because I leave the unit running all the time at 65 degrees, then bring it up to 70 in the morning. It only came on once or twice overnight, but the bathroom is not icy cold.

Pros:

has thermostat you can set by 5 degree increments.

Cons:

turning the unit on and off is difficult

thermostat settings don't go low enough and have a useless high end

I have a Lasko 754200 Ceramic Heater with Adjustable Thermostat, but the continuous thermostat doesn't have any degree markings. I thought I would try this Holmes heater that has settings for 60,65,70,75, and 80 degrees. I use this in an unheated attic that I use for office space when I work from home. I find myself wanting to turn the heater on or off several times a day, but there is NOT simple on/off switch. There are 13 settings on the heater:

1. off

2. low no thermostat

3. hi no thermostat

4.-8. low on each of 5 thermostat settings

9.-13. high on each of 5 thermostat settings

There is a single button to cycle through these settings. If the heater is on low/65, then you have to push the button exactly 4 times to turn the heater off. If you accidentally push it on too many times, then you have to push it 12 more times to cycle through all the settings again. Very annoying if you want to change the settings with any frequency.

The thermostat is set in 5 degree increments which is fine enough me. However, I could see myself wanting a temperature setting of less than 60 degrees at some point (such as to prevent pipes from freezing), but this isn't available. Yet the unit does have an 80 degree setting, which I can't see myself ever using. At 80 degrees, I am turning the air conditioning on!

I will not be buying another one of these in the future, but will go with the Lasko instead, which I have really liked. You don't know the exact temperature setting you are getting with the thermostat with the Lasko. However, on the Lasko the thermostat has a much greater range and is very easy to turn on and off. This Holmes unit works great if you always need the same setting, but otherwise it is a pain.

If you found my review helpful, let me know with your vote. If not, then leave me a comment so I can improve my review.

I bought this for my father's bathroom so he could turn it on and be warm after he showers. It's compact and fits perfectly in a spot between the shelving and doorway. I had thought this device doubled as a cooling fan but it's just a heater. The blower pushes out a good amount of heat and it works great for the small room.

These are absolutely wonderful. I have an old one that I've been using for years, and I just bought the newest model as a Christmas gift for a close friend. She loves it, it has all the best features, including safety with a lock for the hot water, and choice of either button dispensing or pump-pot action; easy to use, convenient as you always have hot water for tea, etc., and I'm waiting for my old one to finally die so I can justify having a new one for myself. As far as I'm concerned, this is the best little appliance in the kitchen.

There are some very good features in this air pot

1)It is smaller than older versions made by other companies with the same capacity

2) It has an electric pump to dispense the hot water

3) It is more attractive than the older designs

4) The price seems lower than the old versions

Some things that could use improvement:

1) The manual pump is like the old manual pumps and will probably eventually develop a leaky gasket

2) The manual pump would be better replaced with a lever action pump that does not depend on a gasket seal.

Having grown up in a household with a hot water tap, I'm used to having near-boiling water available at all times except on Shabbat, when, a rabbi told my mother, the tap could not be used (years later, a different rabbi, who had a different understanding of how the technology worked, told me it is permissible!). So once I was on my own, some sort of urn or electric pump pot was a must. I bought this one to replace an old one that died, and am pleasantly surprised by the new features, including the instant dispense button and switch (although they can't be used on Shabbat either, as they make a light go on, but you can still pump out water by pressing the original spot), and the concave front, which allows your cup or teapot to nestle up close. The price is right, the unit works, and my only concern is that I'll run out of water before Shabbat is over! In fact, I just bought another one as a Mother's Day gift and presented it today (now it can be told!).

I like Japanese tea as the same as coffee and tea.

It can be used immediately, keep 3L boiled water and can be washed easily.

If a button is pushed, hot water will come out automatically.

I don't need more functions.

So, I'm convinced that it's enough lower price and stable so far.

We purchased this HOT POT for our boat. We run it while on the boat to get hot water for our coffee, tea, cup o noodles, etc. It's an awesome little hot pot to have.. We are very happy with our purchase wished we purchased it alot sooner.. Love it love it love it!!! I like the automatic dispenser button you can only use this feature if it's plugged in otherwise you have to use the pump. Overall, I still like my hot pot! Maybe look for a bigger one. This one only takes 3L=a little less then 1 gal.

This is an awesome heater! Its great for my home office and keeps it toasty warm. Its very nice looking, I love the remote, and the auto-temp is great. One of the main reasons I bought it though was for the timer, which is really important to me because Im always afraid of leaving it on. As soon as I walk in the room and turn it on with the remote, I automatically hit the timer also. BUT....my heater, the 8365, does NOT oscillate. The description for the heater says "the Air King 8365 offers a safe ceramic heating element, and widespread oscillation" and there is a button on the heater and the remote for oscillation, yet it doesnt do anything when I hit the button. Ive tried turning the temp way up, way down, all different things with no luck. There is a chart farther down that looks like it says the 8365 does not oscillate, so then why is it in the description & have buttons for it if it doesnt?? That makes no sense to me. Its not enough for me to send the heater back though. Just knocked a star off is all. I still love it!

This heater works great for my small office! I love that it has an auto-temp setting. The thermometer isn't always that precise, but I don't need it to be. Having the timer gives me peace of mind that I'm not going to forget to turn it off and burn the building down. This heater is easy to put together. The pedestal it is on is sturdy enough, but is not designed to be moved around a lot. It does not have an "auto off" in case the heater gets knocked over, like I've seen on other space heaters.
