The timer works well, time is accurate, and hasn't malfunctioned in about a year of use. My only gripe is that it's a little loud when it clicks off. Not a huge problem, I would still buy another.

I have the Intermatic FD60MH 60-minute Spring Loaded Wall Timer wired to a towel warmer. It works quite well, but is a bit noisy. You can hear it ticking 10 feet away. It seems very well made and will probably be quite reliable over the years. Since the timer uses a spring mechanism, it does not draw power to use it, or in standby mode, as some digital timers do. The small form factor of the timer allows it to be installed in a double wall plate with another switch next to it.

The thermostat is rated at a max of 7.4 amps so will only support a 1750W heater. This won't work for my heater and it would have been nice to know when ordering it.

It is NOT real but uses about 10 watts without the heater, looks fine and does have a remote control and separate heat, NO sound. The heater has a blower fan that makes a little noise but seems to put out a decent amount of heat for a small electric heater. I have glass screen doors so I really can not comment on the actual effectiveness of the heater.

I moved my gas logs to the back. I place this unit on the old grate which elevates the units remote sensor and controls above the brass base trim of my glass doors. In an emergency I could remove the unit and use gas.

TIP: Looks are dependent on room lighting. The dancing flames are projected out the back. A 24"x24" piece of cardboard upright 3"-4" behind helps the flames appearance. The cardboard could be spay painted any color to match the interior.

UPDATE: This unit has been "ON" (no heat) for at least 4 hours each day and usually closer to 12-16 hours for more than the last 2 weeks. It has given new LIFE to the 15 year unused fireplace dark hole in the wall.

This unit is probably my best $100 purchase this year if it continues to run.

UPDATE 2: I have lowered my rating. After 3 weeks of extended use the flame intensity seems to have diminished some. I am glad I did not pay over $100. It does not look like it will last. It does have a 3 year warranty but returns are a pain including the time of waiting for a replacement.

I was shopping around for alternative method fireplaces & this is the best & cheapest one I found. Just moved into an old victorian with 3 beautiful fireplaces that have been sealed. Since I am renting & not the owner, I wanted a way to enjoy my beautiful fireplace & also get heat from it ( super expensive to run the old heating system). I had a tower ceramic heater, but that looked bad & got in the way. I looked into the gel log sets, the silly looking logs that you put candles in (too expensive to buy the gels all the time) The fireplaces made by the amish(and others like it) were way too big to fit in my small fireplace & 100's of dollars! this one has heat, a remote (battery included :D) & all you have to do is plug it in. The "flames" are made by a rolling device that emits LED light in the shape of flames. When the lights are on it can look kinda hokeybut it looks almost real with the lights off.

We have gas logs in our downstairs fireplace, but since we have to use propane bottles we never put gas logs upstairs. We were thinking again of actually putting them in when I came across this heater. It fits right in our fireplace, looks great and keeps our bedroom toasty and warm. It even has a thermostat, so once you set it you don't have to worry about it running constantly. Now we are even thinking of replacing the gas logs downstairs with this wonderful little heater!!!

As a little girl of the 70's I remember watching the Christmas specials with the snow falling outside and everyone sitting in front of the fireplace singing Christmas carols by a roaring fire, hot chocolate in hand, Christmas stockings hanging from the mantle and the Christmas tree twinkling in the background but reality is that I am a Florida native and our Christmases here are usually very balmy so a fireplace is just out of place here. Nevertheless I have always wanted a fireplace that I could decorate for the holidays just like in all of those Christmas specials I watched as a child but I live in a rental home so building a real fireplace is out of the question so what was I to do? I chose to build a faux fireplace and just light it with some white Christmas lights or some other type of lights to give the illusion of a fire but without the right kind of light effect AND heat (who can have a fire without heat?!)it just wasn't what my heart yearned for so I kept searching for a more realistic effect until I came across a REAL fireplace with a electric fireplace insert from KW and even better it had heat. I was so excited about my find but I am a very choosy person when purchasing something I can't actually touch and examine so it took me 2 weeks to finally decide on which electric fireplace insert I wanted AND then make the jump to purchasing it so after 2 weeks and looking at pictures of every electric fireplace insert I could find online I finally chose the one with the most realistic effect and with heat. I am thrilled with my KW electric log set w/heater! Right now it is set up in my living room awaiting it's mantle(hubby isn't quite motivated lol) but even right out of the box this electric log set is beautiful and so easy to use. Just plug it in and turn it on. The remote is very simple to use with only 3 buttons, one for power, one for flame effect and one for heat and even better you can turn the heat off and just use the flame effect which I do every night! The only thing I wish it had is sound effects but I still love, love, love, my "fireplace" and I can't wait to get it all decorated for Christmas this year. It's going to be magical!

I bought this electric log set not expecting much after reading some of the reviews. I would like to let everyone know who is concidering this product that I loved it!!!! It is exactly what I was looking for. It is perfect for the fake fireplaces that used the cans of gel you light on fire. I had one for 15yrs that I couldn't use because the gel in the cans made my eyes water, so when I saw electric log set I bought it. It works perfect!

I bought this item from Amazon in October 2010. We live in Texas and did not need it for supplemental heating until late November 2010, which was after the Amazon return period. No problem with Amazon as they have always been a quality service, but it never occurred to me to check the heater before the return period was up. I went to the web address on the product sheet enclosed with the heater and was forwarded to a commercial selling store, NOT the Comfort Zone web site, so it appears it cannot be returned. Like the other review, the heater will come on when it is first turned on, in 2-3 minutes it will cut off, the temperature can be in the 50's but it will still cut off and not back on. It is obviously malfunctioning and I will take a 100% loss. I will never buy ANYTHING from Comfort Zone again.

Honest reviews on Comfort Zone CZQTV8 Fan Forced Quartz Heater with Beveled Top

I purchased this heater from Family Dollar about a month ago to use in my work shop. The heater rarely sees anything other than hi with the thermostat all the way turned up. This week I went down to the shop and the heater wasn't on. The thermostat control was melted out of the top. There was also something heavy rolling around the inside. I opened the heater up and found that the tip over protection which is a round weight(what I was hearing rolling around) is attached to a plastic cam on the side of the thermostat. The plastic cam had melted off and the contact points on the thermostat were completely eroded and not making contact(most likely from arcing as the cam melted). I contacted Comfort Zone who said they would warranty it if I had the receipt. Of course shame on me I no longer have the receipt. Therefore I have bypassed the thermostat all together and now the heater is operational again although I only have "off, Hi, and low" settings. No thermostat control and no tip over protection. I would never use this heater in my house with this arrangement but in my shop sitting on a concrete floor I will continue to use this heater "as is" since it does heat quite well for my shop and I do not want to purchase another heater. Poor design in regards to the safety and thermostat mechanism. If I were to purchase another one I would insulate the area to protect it even though it's ridiculous to have to do that on a relatively new heater. After reading the other reviews this is what I suspect is happening on all of them. I would recommend this fix if yours has quit and if you are using the heater in a secure area, just be sure to use heavy enough gauge wire for the jumper. Also keep your receipt! Guess you get what you pay for....

Review of Glentronics, Inc. BWD-HWA Basement Watchdog Water Sensor and Alarm

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $19.95
Sale Price: $9.97

A year ago I got into a bit of a "emergency preparedness" mode, and among other things, bought one of these devices, installed it in my water heater pan and then forgot all about it.

At 12:30 a.m. a couple of nights ago, an alarm began ringing. I had no idea what it was, except that it wasn't a smoke detector (not as loud as that) but after wandering around the house for a bit, I followed the sound to the basement and found a small amount of water in the water heater pan. The alarm turned off as soon as I pulled the sensors out of the water.

It was soon obvious this was no small leak. Over the next 12 hours until we got the water heater replaced, we easily bailed 30 or more gallons of water out of the bin we placed to catch the overflow from the pan.

Had the alarm not sounded, it could have been 24 hours or more before the leak was noticed. The basement storage room where the water heater is located, and the adjoining (carpeted) rec room would have been flooded, requiring a major effort to dry them out and damage/destruction of a number of items. Drying out the basement to prevent mold would have required the rental of some high-powered dehumidifiers (been there, done that).

This item did exactly what it was supposed to do. After reading some of the reviews indicating some lack of reliability, I may well install a couple of extras in the basement as backup, and putting some in other locations, such as under/near the washing machine, under sinks, and under the dishwasher, seems like a good idea.

Important tip learned during the water heater replacement:

The expansion tank intalled with the water heater has a shorter life span than the heater itself, and when it fails, the pressure from expansion of heating water then causes damage to the water heater tank itself, shortening its life. To test whether the expansion tank has failed, tap along the side of the tank starting from the bottom. There should be a noticeable change of pitch between the bottom (which contains the bladder full of water) and the top, which should contain air. If it sounds the same all the way up, the bladder has failed and the entire expansion tank has filled with water, preventing it from doing its job of relieving pressure in the water heater tank. Replacing the expansion tank is much cheaper than replacing both it and the heater, and may keep your heater going for years longer.

The Water Alarm also has a 6-foot sensor wire, so that you can extend the sensor into a sump pump, or the alarm will sound before water spills out onto the floor. The alarm plugs into the wall plus has a 9 Volt battery backup. We use ours for the sump pump & it works wonderfully!

When the alarm goes off...we pull up on the sump pump floater string & the sump pump starts right away and the alarm turns off right away.

The alarm is loud. Our house is a ranch style, a bit over 1,100 sq ft...the sump pump is in the basement...opposite corner than our bedrooms on the main floor...I could still hear the alarm going off in the middle of the night.

This item works as it says it will, I'd purchase this item again. We purchased our's at a major hardware store in our area for about $10

Why is this better than Leak Frog:

1) 5-yr run time on each battery, provided that battery's expiry date is not earlier than that. Leak Frog? 1 yr. Maybe 2~3 yrs if you use Li batteries (my assumption only see my Leak Frog comment).

2) $9.95 @ my local hardware store and this is widely available. Leak Frog? Almost $15 now and seems like it's Amazon's exclusive offering.

3) Audibly louder than Leak Frog.

4) No screwdriver needed for battery compartment door, Leak Frog needs screwdriver to access that supposedly annually too! I dislike.

5) Slender form factor makes it easier to snug in underneath fridge and dishwasher.

6) Remote (if desired) sensor placement within 6' makes it super versatile. I inserted this remote sensor far deep underneath my fridge with ease. Leak Frog? Where it is located is where it senses.

7) Less toyish look I didn't pay a premium for the latest stainless appliances so that I can place a green toy there in plain sight. I wish that the Watchdog was black (or stainless) and smaller than this, but this is still acceptable.

8) 5-yr manufacturer's warranty. Leak Frog's 1 yr.

9) Leak Frog maker seems to be a one hit wonder. This one's mother company makes a wide assortment of other basement flood prevention goodies. This seems more pro.

I already own 4 Leak Frogs & now 2 Watchdogs, I still need at least 2 more water alarms, I'll get the Watchdog from now on...

Honest reviews on Glentronics, Inc. BWD-HWA Basement Watchdog Water Sensor and Alarm

I bought 2 of these from Lowe's today for $13.58 (model BWD-HWA). Each requires a 9 volt battery, has a 6 foot sensor wire and a 5 year warranty, although no guarantee it will work. It can stand alone or be attached to a wall with the sensor wire extended. The sensor wire can be spliced up to 100 feet, if you supply the wire. It's also claimed that the alarm sounds up to 3 days.

This thing needs to be in a puddle of water (1/32" minimum) to work because it has 2 sensors on the bottom that need electrical current flow between them the water being the conductor. It's not going to sense drops of water, but it should work in a flood situation where water is covering the floor.

I tested the ones I bought and they do work in a puddle, but the alarm needs to be a bit louder. It claims to be 110 decibels, and if that's true, then it's louder than most similar alarms.

It has a constant (non beeping) high pitch sound similar to a smoke detector but not nearly as loud. It can be heard if not too far away, but to be effective, it should be heard everywhere in the house and waken you while asleep. So depending on your hearing, the size of your house and where you are when it sounds, it may work well for you. However, none of these devices work if you can't hear them.

Should one of these devices fail, it would be wise to place more than one where a lot of flooding could occur and cause major damage to your house. Where your washing machine is located is a prime candidate.

I installed this in my sump pump basin. Over the winter condensation collected to the extent that it set off the alarm. This happened twice. The contacts should have been designed to dangle separately from a support. The support collected the moisture causing the two contacts to complete the alarm's circuit.

There is no switch to turn off the alarm so while it is screaming LOUDLY you have to take the battery out. I don't know why it didn't stop after I dried the moisture from the contacts.

This is the third electric mattress pad we have had and it is by far my favorite. I bought it because of the auto-off feature. My spouse is not so good about remembering to turn it off and now I don't have to check it.

We use the European style of bedding: a comforter with a duvet cover and no top sheet. Making the bed literally takes a few seconds. However, this set-up is impossible with electric blankets, so we use the electric mattress pads. The first one had very noticeable wires. Now we are not "Princess and a Pea" people, but it was not comfortable. It had to be on for at least 15 minutes to feel any heat. Still, we used it for many years. Later I replaced it with a better one. Still, the wires were uncomfortable and it was slow to heat. I put an additional mattress pad on top of the heated one to make it more comfortable, which probably reduced the heat even further, but it cushioned the wires.

This model is really great. I do not feel any wires at all. It heats very quickly. Turn it on PH and it preheats at the top setting for 30 minutes, then goes to what you had it set at.

The only thing I don't like about this is that the plug in is on the top (horizontal)foot of the bed instead of on the (vertical) side. Our feet hit a hard plate. It is not unpleasant, it will just take some time to get used to it. You also have to plug the unit in on an outlet that is on the right side of the bed for the controllers to properly reach your nightstands. It states that in the instructions, but I wanted to plug it in on the left (my husband's) side as my side's outlet was full. The first time I tried the bed I was unhappy with the heat. I had it on PH and didn't feel it. Then my foot happened to kick over to my husband's side and it was toasty warm. A minute spent moving the plug (and controllers) and it worked fine. Amazing what following the instructions can do.

This product works as shown. It has dual adjustable zones (my wife likes to cook, I merely like to steep) and a nice "preheat" mode that works quickly (turn it on before you brush your teeth, and the bed is warm by the time you get there). We haven't turned on the heat at all this winter, and we would have if we didn't have this.

We have previously owned electric blankets and this is *so* much better. Heat rises, make the most of it!

We've had it about a month so far, and no problems. I was worried whether we should pay a lot more for the more expensive line Amazon offered, but so far I am really happy with how this one turned out.

I purchased this product last week and it failed out of the box. Sunbeam's heated blanket and mattress pad products have many quality issues. I have purchased 3 within the the last 5 years and they typically will not last more than a single winter. I can guarantee they will not last the 5 year guarantee period. When they quit operating, Sunbeam requires that you ship the blanket to a service center somewhere in the south. After several weeks a blanket is returned to you. Ours was not the blanket shipped. At least the returned blanket was clean. Thanks! I purchased this heated mattresss pad because I thought it might be more durable than the blanket.

Sunbeam used to manufacture quality products that worked well and lasted for years. It's hard to believe this product is still marketed as the "#1 Heated Mattress Pad."

We bought one of these heaters 2 years ago to help keep the oil cost down. They do work great. We run ours 24 hours a day, to keep the rooms at a nice temp. We used this to keep our kitchen and living room warm. We also ran a coal stove in another part of the house, where we added on and didn't have any heat. After running the first one for a year, our electric bill jumped $150 a month. We were ok with this since we weren't using oil. This past fall, we purchased a second one, because we really do like the heaters and they keep it so warm in here. We decided to get rid of the coal stove, and put a heater in that part of the house. We now have 2 heaters running 24 hours a day. We didn't think it would be that much more on the electric bill, UNTIL TODAY. For the past 3 months our electric company has been estimating our bill from last winter, when we only had one heater. We have come to find out, these are costing us almost $350 more a month on top of our regular electric bill. This equates to about $6.00 each, a day to run. We run 2 of them, 24 hours a day @ $12.00 a day. I'm not sure where the manufacturer figured on $1.00 a day to run this heater, but it's a lot more than they say. (this wasn't even a cold winter) The heaters aren't that cheap to run. Don't get me wrong, they are great heaters, but they don't come close the cost of $1.00 a day, so beware before purchasing.

My relatives have an equivalent Zojirushi model. The only difference is this one only has a 6 hour delay whereas the Zojirushi has a longer delay setting. It actually seems like the Panasonic insulates and holds the heat in better than the Zojirushi as it doesn't seem to reheat as often. I'm sure it would save a few pennies in power costs if I could delay it a little longer while I'm away at work all day but it isn't worth almost double the price to get that. That's the only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. I actually like and prefer the nonstick interior and unless you've got hard water, you don't have to clean it as often as they suggest. It's over a month for mine being used every day and it doesn't look any different than when I bought it. I figure I'll clean it with lemon juice every other month.

Note that you don't have to buy the special cleaning solution. Make your own citric acid with a half cup of lemon juice concentrate mixed in with the water and then run it through the cleaning cycle. If you use fresh lemons make sure you get the pulp out.

Update 3 years later in 2012: Still working great. I clean it about twice a year as our water is already softened and we filter it before pouring into the boiler. One time after not running a cleaning cycle for over a year it stopped working in that it couldn't tell when to stop heating and overheated. I ran it through a cleaning cycle and it was fine after that. I suspect the thermometer had some calcium or other deposits built up on it.

For Valentine's Day, my fiancee wanted something to get her up and running with tea early in the morning. After looking at a number of other electric kettles and pots, the Panasonic/Zojirushi style pots caught my eye and seemed like an interesting alternative to the teapot styles offered elsewhere.

After a few days of use, this has turned out to deliver on all promises made. It holds about 4-5 healthy cups of hot water. The alternatives for boiling, super-crazy-hot, green tea setting, and baby-milk setting (all digital) are more than you'll find on all but the most fully featured carafe-style pots.

At the end of the day, however, distinction should be made between the teapots and this. The teapots boast the ability to boil water in under 5 minutes. This model takes around 20 minutes to get to a boil: not much better than a stove-top model. However, for an energy efficient and convenient way to have hot water on hand all day, it beats the pants off other solutions.

Nice and simple pot. Has six hour timer, however, would like to have a longer delay for the day use. Also, when using the timer, it always resets the final temperature to 190 degree. Would be nice if it can "remember" the previous temperature setting. The inner container is coated with floury charcoal, not teflon coating that any other brands offer. It claims to bring out the fine taste of water. To me, at least it looks better than the grey teflon coating. Another feature missing is it does not come with the audible alarm.

Extra spec that I would like to know before ordering:

Power: 700 Watt

Temp setting: 140, 180, 190, 208

No audible alarm for any events.

After all, I am happy with the pot for the price and the build quality. Not sure if I would pay extra $30+ for the fancy features Zojirushi brand offers.

Honest reviews on Panasonic Electric Thermo Hot Pot

I bought this to make my baby's formula. I have had this product for about 5 months. I boil the water and place the water into a glass water pitcher and let cool to room temp. I then use the room temperature water to mix the formula. I noticed a couple of days ago that I have brown particles floating in the bottle. I open the machine and the whole bottom part of the pot and the filter is rusted at first I thought it was calcium deposits since I know these pots get that problem but and it's not calcium deposts. I called Panasonic, the specialist in the department named Anthony said this "Do you leave the water inside the machine?" I replied yes. He the said "You are not suppose to leave water inside the machine, on your manual it states VERY CLEARLY that once you are done with the machine you are to pour out the water". I replied, "If I need to pour out the water every 3 hours after I use it than wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having an electric water pot, I minus well boil my water on the stove". I asked " what should I do now, will this be under warranty" he replied, "no, because it's not a manufacturer's defect because you left wate inside the pot". I other words, chuck it and get a new one. I didn't argue with him since I did not have my manual on hand because I was at work. I return home and looked at the manual several times, I found in the manual that yes you are suppose to empty out the machine but only when NOT IN USE. I called them back the next day, spoke to someone else who elevated to a manager and they will replace the machine. .

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Panasonic Electric Thermo Hot Pot

Last winter, I discovered Puerh tea. To discover Puerh is to drink Puerh all day long; and Puerh cannot sit in water, it has to be steeped freshly each serving or it will become bitter. I was boiling water a million times a day; then I found an old vacuum bottle and boiled water half a million times a day. This winter, I figured I had paid my dues and started looking for an electric kettle. Even better, an appliance that would not only boil the water but keep it hot. Better even than that, an electric thermal unit that would maintain an almost boiling temperature. The Panasonic Electric Thermo Pot does all that and even gives you a choice of temperatures to maintain, because some teas need to be steeped cooler and others hotter. This unit is easy to use and doesn't take up much space horizontally or vertically. And compared to the Zojirushi model of the same size, the cost is super reasonable. My brand new pot arrived promptly and well packed. I put it to work immediately and it has performed continuously and perfectly. This was an EXCELLENT purchase and I would recommend it to anyone!

This unit was a replacement for a previous different model heater which lasted many years. It is easy to use, the lid is solid, and the pump is quiet. The adjustable temperatures are convenient. The only thing that could be improved is to be able to shut off the beeps that occur after the water is ready to be used following a refill. It is Ok during the day, but not necessary at night. It is possible to delay the heating with a timer, which then also of course delays the beeps to the next morning.

I bought this model a year ago. Love the convenience of getting hot water any time. However, half a year later, there seemed to be some corrosion spots on the bottom. Now, the spots are more prominent and are rusty. The thought of drinking water with rust in it does not seem safe to me.

I ordered this on a Friday night and received it on Wednesday, shipped out of Dallas. I shopped around, the amazon price was way lower than everywhere else online. It arrived in two extremely heavy boxes. The wood piece were in one box in 11 pieces: the top piece, the bottom piece, the insert for the bottom, etc. The instructions said that it would take an hour to assemble. For us it took an hour and a half and lots of cursing the seemingly too small wooden dowels and the "loose" construction of the facing, from opening the box to getting set in the right spot. The "firebox" was in the second box. Getting the cement "logs" in there just right was confusing and the "decorative ember rocks" seemed kind of pointless, but I did stack them in the bottom of the firebox and I suppose when the fuel finally arrives from another retailer we'll see if they're worth it. It definitely requires two people for construction, mostly for keeping the facing pieces steady while they're being assembled. In our instructions, the holes were backward in one place, but that didn't take rocket science to swap the hardware. That being said, put together it's gorgeous and seems quite sturdy. I can't wait to hang Christmas stockings on it and light it!
