Discount KF Baby Clip-On Mini Stroller Fan, Yellow

KF Baby Clip-On Mini Stroller Fan, Yellow
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
I bought this fan to attach to our BOB stroller for our 7 month old daughter who gets very fussy in the warm weather. I had read reviews about it being cheap/low quality but we really like it so far. First, you can't beat the price. I will agree that the foam blades could very easily be torn off by my daughter who is fascinated by them, but the alternative (plastic or metal blades) would probably not be a great solution either, for obvious reasons. The fan produces a pretty good breeze which keeps my daughter cool and therefore less fussy on warm days. We initially had the fan closer too her and she put her fingers in the way of the blades while it was going. This entertained her for a while but then she started grabbing at them so we moved it further down so she wouldn't tear them off (easy solution to the other reviews about how cheap the blades are). Overall, the cost is great, it produces a great breeze and it can attach almost anywhere. You can't go wrong, I'd highly recommend it!

Ordered two fans, one broke after first use while the other works only intermittently. Not worth it, waste of $!

I connected this to my whole house fan. Works as expected. I wanted to limit the amount of time I have the fan on. Since this was originally wired in the attic. This switch is a wonder.

I got one of these for my outdoor patio overhead fans/lights. The timer is good but I have used these and other wall based spring wound timer switches from Intermatic and they don't last more than 3-5 years. The timers quit. Still can be used manually but that's not what I am buying this product for. In that time, you make your money back from the savings without a doubt but be prepared to buy a new one as they will not last. I love the product, hate to be so honest about the lack of useful life but I think Intermatic knows as I've had over 12 of these (many with different timer settings) at my properties and only a few lasted over 5 years. Easy as a light switch to install. Several years of saving on wasted electricity makes this a good deal. I've tried other brands and they fail even sooner.

This short life is not representative of all Intermatic timers. The ones that are encased in a metal enclosure with a 24 hour timer and trippers that you can change have been in pools and electric water heaters for 20+ years without a problem except resetting the timers when there has been a power outage. They are great!

Update: One year later...still going strong!

Lasko Ceramic Heater model 5126

Quiet, rotates, auto on and off thermostat, advertises to operate with in 2 degrees above or 1 below set temp. After 3 days of operation it is performing perfectly. Simple assembly of base with 2 self threading screws and 4 machine screw. Could not be simpler or more stable. Instructions and parts matched and easy to understand. Suggest you do not unwind cord until after base is on. Not my first Lasko product and won't be my last; I am happy.

My 3 year-old's room is the coldest in our house. It can easily get 10 degrees colder than our bedroom. I spent the better part of 3 years worrying about his comfort at night because our previous space heater had a 5 degree differential on either side of the setting, meaning that if I set it for 70*, it could get as low as 65 or as high as 75. That does not lend itself to a good night's sleep.

This space heater is much more accurate. I can set it for 68, and as soon as it registers 67, it turns on. When it reaches 70, it turns back off. This is a much better solution to our problem.

My only suggestion would be that the heater have "memory." When you set the temperature, it automatically stays on that temp until you turn it off. When you turn it back on, you have to turn on the auto temp setting again. I forgot this step one time, and it was 76* when my sweaty child woke me up to tell me that he was hot.

All in all, I would absolutely recommend this space heater.

This is a great heater with all the convenient features I wanted. Easy to assemble, works fine and everything about it is just a warm breeze. Had to order a second one and overall, I have four Lasko heaters in my house and they all work great. No complaints.

Honest reviews on Lasko Ceramic Pedestal Heater, 5126

This heater moves a decent amount of warm air, fairly quiet and efficient, but struggles to take off a serious chill in our large bedroom. Works great in the smaller office room though. This is the second Lasko tower-type we've owned, the last one died after 5 years. Not a bad looking product, pretty good quality. I would probably buy it again for a good, basic heater.

This is the second one of these we bought. The first one from Amazon. The nice thing about this one that we didn't find with other units is you can set the exact temperature from 40* on up. All the other units we tried would start at 60* and go up in 5* increments. We heat our house with wood and our laundry room and one of the bathrooms don't get much heat. So we put one of these in the laundry room and set the temp at 55* mainly to keep the pipes from freezing. The other is in the bathroom left at 60* to keep it somewhat comfortable in there. When we go into use the bath raise the temp to 70* or 75* and it doesn't take long at all to heat the room up. Nice comfortable heat.

Soleus Air HM1-10-32 Ultra Thin Micathermic Heater, Black Reviews

My Soleus HM1-10-32 is used to supplement my oil heat since prices have gone up. I have no problem heating a 18' x 12' living room. I wanted the non-remote version because I've got too many remotes and dont need another one. To my surprise this regular model is now coming with ECO (economy mode).

The heating element consists of two 500W vertical heat panels:

1) LOW: In this mode only one heat panel turns on (the right panel).

2) High: In this mode both (right and left) heat panels turn on.

3)ECO: In this mode both 500W heat panels turn on until the room reaches a certain temp then the right heat panel turns off and the left one remains on until the thermostat takes over and cycles one 500W panel.

Noise: The 500W heat panels will warp at little as they warm-up. This warping makes a low clunk sound. Not loud enough to disturb you but noticable. Also the thermostat makes a click as it cycles.

Power: 1000W seems to be enough for me and doesnt cause heating of the line cord. At this power level the unit can share another device on the same line if need be. The 500W setting works well for most of my conditions. For instance I get home from work and the burner has kept the house at 63 degrees F. I turn-on the heater at 1000W until the living room wall thermostat reads 69 F then I turn the heater to low and let it cycle.

Heat: Since it has a back or rear to the element I tried it up against a wall. This heated the wall up real well. After moving it out in the open it seemed much more effective. The heater emits a LOT of heat out of the top and heats only about out to three feet from the front. I also heats out to 1.5 feet to the rear. Other than that its mostly Infra-red waves to the front and rear and ambient heat to the top.

Very handy carry handle on one side and attractive thin profile make this a real versatile low profile heater. With the Micathermic elements the heating elements are not exposed to the air so it is safe.

I really think this is the future in portable heating because it is the quietest heater I have used. Also with heat out of the top,infra red to the front and heat to the rear its very effective.

Edit: 2/6/07

Well we had our first single digit night here in NY and it kept the bedroom at 68F by using 1000W and letting it cycle all night. Thats 68F with my door open and attic air leaking thru the attic stairs (in otherwords worst case) at 8 deg outside temp. Normally on an 8 deg night my bedroom is 59F.

I also knocked it completely over while walking around in the dark. The Power was off and it lived no problem. No damage works fine.

Another point is that no matter how close it is to objects in the bedroom they do not heat to a dangerous temp. They will get warm but not hot.

When sitting on the coach with it 3 feet away and facing you (maximum comfy) you only feel a mild radiant heat not a blast in the face. Try that with most radiant heaters and you'll get a tan.

Lovin' it.

Does a good job heating a 10" x 12' bedroom. It's totally silent, so it's perfect for the bedroom. It does heat up almost instantly, but at only 1000 watts, does not heat up the room very quickly. Best to turn it on an hour before you turn in, to give it time to heat up the room. I'm using it in a house that I set to 58 degrees overnight, with single digit temperatures outside. The bedroom stays in the upper 60's for the night while this is on. Update: It stopped working after a couple of months. Got a new one that's been working fine all winter. The one year warranty was good, but the return experience was poor. Had to call many times over many days to get an actual person. The return involved cutting the end of the power cord and mailing at my expense back to them (good to not have to pay to send the entire unit back). Plus, had to send them money to cover shipment of the replacement unit (I think it was $16). All in all, it cost me over 40% of the original cost to get warranty replacement. It seems that this is becoming a common practice these days, but not easy to find out until you call for repair. So consider this a heads up so you can factor this in to your purchasing decision.

This item does NOT promote enough heat even at a high setting. I recommend the DeLongi flat panel heater, as you can actually mount the heater, and it puts off a great deal to heat at a much lower setting, for about the same price of this unit...

AVANTI H2O DISPENSER TABLETOP Review

AVANTI H2O DISPENSER TABLETOP
Customer Ratings: 2.5 stars

This product uses the standard water bottles but, does not hold but a little over 16 oz. of water at a time. It says in the handbook that if you use 2 cups of water, it will take the machine 25 minutes to get the next 2 cups cold. It doesn't say that in the description on the item. Product does not have the piercing device that you turn the water bottle upside down on. So I'm not sure how the water is supposed to drain into the very small reservoir. If you have to remove the entire cap from the top of the water bottle, that is very dumb. I will stick with the cooler I have that sets on the floor taking up room.

The listing is in error it should read cooler holds standard 2 gallon, 3 gallon or 5 gallon bottle. (not 23 gallon) also the refridgeration does not last as long as a more expensive water cooler. But is is great to have a sealable pure water supply after it breaks down. I have a regular residential refridgerator that I just refill my portable bottles for cold water.

Customer Ratings: 2 stars

I bought two of these and spent almost $700 and I am VERY DISSAPOINTED with their performance. You can't even feel the heat unless you are about a foot away from the unit. I live in California where it doesn't really get that cold in the winter but I was interested in saving money on my heating bill and this thing won't even heat my bedroom. The mantle is oak plywood, not solid oak as advertised. The only good thing about them is that they look nice. The Amish are being used as a marketing tool to sell these fireplaces. All of the parts come from China and are assembled by Amish in Ohio, so don't expect good Amish craftsmanship because you won't get it with a Heat Surge Electric Fireplace.

I purchased this item to heat a small trailer. After reading all the hype the company provides I thought this would be a good alternative heat source. NOT SO. When I called the company to return the item you are put thru the hoops. Your on hold for hours at a time. Just trying to talk to someone to get the return shipping label issued. In the meantime the company takes their sweet time in issueing the UPS return. You have 30 days to return the item... or your stuck with it. This includes from the time it was sent to you from the warehouse, weekends & holidays. Then they have the nerve to charge you $50.00 for the return. This is a decorative item, not a single heat sourcesomething they don't bother to mention anywhere. It took them 24hrs to collect my money & 6wks to get my partial refund.

It's shocking to me that people would pay $350 for a heater that puts out the exact same amount of heat as a $19.95 heater available at most major retail stores. If you read the specification, the heater in the HeatSurge fireplace is a 1,500 watt quartz ceramic heater.

And guess what? My local Target has a whole section full of 1,500 quartz ceramic heaters for less than...$30 each. In fact, I bought a 1,500 watt quartz ceramic heater at Target for $19.95, and it works great! The one I bought for $19.95 works so good I bought several more for my house, one for my Mom, one for my Dad, and two for my sister, all at $19.95 each! Actually, some were on sale after Christmas for $14.95 each, and others were two for $20! Nice. And warm.

Maybe the mantle is made by the Amish, but the heater is made in China and back lit by a couple of lightbulbs. I looked at one of these at my neighbors and saw a review by Consumer Reports that said you can get better heat from a $75-$80 heater; they recommended the DeLonghi. Don't get taken! The reviewer said this costs much more money to run than many simpler heaters.

Whirlpool 279816 Thermostat Kit for Dryer as sold by Seneca River Trading.

1. I paid Seneca River Trading for expedited shipping and it went USPS Priority Mail from NY 13027 to TN 37923. It took 10 days for delivery but even UPS ground would have gotten it to my door in 3 days.

2. Seneca River Trading put the product in a padded USPS flat rate envelope instead of a USPS flat rate box plus some bubble wrap. The thermal cutoff had a bent prong and the thermostat had something that looks like a pop rivet that had busted. Both items appear to work OK but the packaging allowed minor damage and only luck prevented them from being damaged enough that I'd have to pursue another replacement part.

3. The screws in the kit don't thread into the holes on the dryer. Not a big deal as I had plenty of computer screws from PC builds lying around that did fit just fine. But for someone with less spare parts laying around this could have been an issue as the provided screws wouldn't turn more than once until the thread was in a bind and the thermostat was still wobbling around.

4. I've edited this review 3 times now. Amazon doesn't want me to link to the youtube video that gives instructions for modifying the wiring to use the new part since the old part is wired differently. Please note that the instructions provided with the kit are not clear. Google the part # and watch the video on youtube since I can't link to it from here. With the tools I had stripping the wires and crimping the new leads was a hassle I wouldn't wish on anyone with poor coordination or poor tools. If you are not the Do It Yourself type you'll want a friend to do the wiring work for you or you'll want to pay someone to do it. The orange wire barely had an inch of slack and a mistake replacing the end on that wire could complicate the repair.

On the whole I got the parts for about half price vs the closest appliance store that had the part in stock but I did without my dryer for two weeks and had to haul laundry to the laundromat during that time and spent more time than I'm happy to admit tracking the package and checking the mail every day.

Amazon Prime has me spoiled for things showing up in 1 or 2 days from time of order and USPS tracking and delivery speed on this were sub par.

I held onto this review until I caught up on my backlog of laundry and I'd given it a week or two to stop working. The dryer still works so I'll give this 3 stars. If it had arrived undamaged and in less than 5 days time like I expected I would have given 4 stars.

The high limit thermistor is not an oem equivalent as it indicates. The temp for the switch is lower than the OEM and will not function. Double check the temperature marked on your oem thermistor before installing this one. I found this out only after the repair man came out and discovered that it was the wrong part.

Honest reviews on Whirlpool 279816 Thermostat Kit for Dryer

This part works like a charm! The instructions seemed a little cryptic I felt I was going to break something, but then finally got it . . . it seems the dryer is designed to fit this part (has the outline and screw holes for it) but the original installed part sits at a different angle and is secured by a tab, not screws, adding to my confusion.

I had tested the thermal cutoff and ascertained that was the problem. The kit also includes a thermostat and all instructions (included, on Amazon and the Web) recommended replacing both. They were right! I did a test BEFORE replacing the thermostat and the dryer definitely ran too hot probably what caused the thermal fuse to blow in the first place!

I was very pleased with the delivery time it only took a couple of days, even via USPS. I am now a hero in my wife's eyes!
