I'm on my 3rd season with this unit.

1. Its way more powerful than my GE portable. Keeps the LR cool when the GE would not.

2. This unit, though powerful, is very poorly made.

Example:

All four wheels broke off the first season (my season is June-Aug)

The unit emits a "burnt tire" smell. finally stopped smelling in the 3rd season. Friends are no longer asking, "what's that smell?"

The digital lights went out at the start of the 2nd season, so no warranty to fix.

The directional blades fell off the machine during the second season. Can not be repaired.

The exhaust hose lasted only one season, then fell apart, even though properly stored ($29 + s/h for replacement)

To all those who see nothing but good ratings at the Compact Appl site: They refuse to post any of the real negative stuff. They fix the comment section to reflect only good reviews of 4 stars and more. Not too ethical, no?

Do not buy this item or any item from this company. The product was broken right out of the box. If you buy something them and it works, you're lucky. If it does not, good luck getting any kind of customer service for repair.

I purchased this air conditioner from another site. We've had it for one day and it is going back. The first problem is the stupid window kit. It is thin and flimsy. The other problem is that the window kit does not fit flush in the window. There is about a half-inch difference between the extension and the window. Plan on using some duct tape to close the gap. The next problem was the first day it arrived it was 80 degrees but the lowest the unit would cool the room down to was about 74 degrees even though it was programmed for 65 degrees. Our old unit was only 6,000 BTU's and it kept our room really cool for 5 summers so I do not believe this unit is really 12,000 BTU's. I left the unit on overnight because the exhaust opening on the window plate is little more than the kind of plastic grates you see on milk crates. They supply a plastic cover but it takes a bit of force to twist it off. As I mentioned earlier, the window kit plate isn't the sturdiest so I was worried if I used too much force it might fall out the window. The final straw came the next day when the unit shut off because we had to drain out the water. This is crazy how often would it need to drain on 90 degree days? I am so happy I purchased this unit early enough to return it before it gets too hot. BUYER BEWARE THIS PRODUCT IS JUNK!

Honest reviews on Koldfront AP12000S-KF Extreme Cool 12,000 BTU Portable Air

Compact Appliance sent me a piece of junk (Portable air conditioner EdgeStar model # AP1200S). It kept tripping the breaker and the one time when it did run for 3 hours it never cooled the room. Compact Appliance told me to contact EdgeStar then EdgeStar said to contact Compact Appliance. It is very frustrating to deal with these two Companies. No one wants their piece of junk portable air conditioner back.

The return policy with Compact Appliance is horrible Compact Appliance makes you pay for shipping back to them no matter what. There is no satisfaction guaranteed even though they say there is on their website.

The manufacture warranty through Edge Star is also horrible. They make you pay for shipping on the extremely heavy portable air conditioner to an EdgeStar authorized repair facility (wherever that isas it does not say on the warranty).

I find it hard to believe that there are so many great reviews on this air conditioner on the Compact Appliance website. The Amazon reviews are not as good.

It is very frustrating when you are looking forward to getting cool air after you paid a lot of money to Compact Appliance and took time carrying it up the stairs and unpacking and installing it and still not having cool air. Then having Compact Appliance and EdgeStar blame each other and you is even crazier. It has been a very upsetting two weeks. It is not worth buying from them.

I am happy to report that I purchased a Sharp portable air conditioner at Costco and it is working beautifully. If for some reason it stops working (even 5 years down the road) I can take it back to Costco and get me money back instantly. Costco is a company that does guarantee satisfaction unlike Compact Appliance.

live in the Northeast, not a big air conditioning area, few weeks in the summer. first thought the room was to big (15 x 25) but for curiosity sake placed in a 8 x10 bath...never moved the thermostat after running for three hours. Spent $271 at S ears for a 12000 btu window unit works like a pro. Expensive lesson in air conditioning. Best advice...buy a window unit

Optimus H-5280 31-Inch Oscillating Quartz Radiant Tower Heater Review

Customer Ratings:

Winter only happens once a year and is separated by many months that dull the memories of the bad heaters you bought in winters past. For the winter season of 2010/2011, I purchased two different Optimus heaters for my house, the H-7328 and the H-7318.

I bought both units at the same time in October, so they sat in their unopened boxes well past the time you could return them. When winter came I set my brand new heaters up. The 7318 rattled so bad I could barely hear myself think. And within days the 7328 stopped oscillating and started to smell like burnt wiring. By February neither unit functioned, both thermostats apparently didn't work anymore so the unit that would actually provide heat would stay on forever, even if the unit fell face down on the carpet. YIKES, talk about dangerous.

So in March when I went to throw these units in the garage, on top of the pile of totally useless things I have bought in years past, I noticed something odd. I reached down and dug out three old heaters from the year before. Apparently I bought an Optimus H-5280, an H-3013 and an H-5230.

So in two years I have purchased no less than five Optimus heaters of which only one still works as advertised, which only goes to prove one thing, I AM A COMPLETE IDIOT, for ever buying an Optimus product. If they don't fail to work at all, then they stand a good chance of burning you alive while you sleep.

I've had this heater for a year and a half and haven't had any problems with it till

one day I knocked it over. The thin glass heating element doesn't have any support except

for the top and bottom. I knocked it over and the element broke in the center.

I would have been good for the manufacture to add a couple supports along the length

of the element to support it. Buying a new tube is out of the question. Manufacture

wants you to ship it to them for repair. It's cheaper to buy a new heater.

I recently bought this heater for the purpose of warming my study which can get quite drafty in these winter months. I usually get by with just a coat and a glass of wine or two but my wife insisted I try to purchase something to keep me warmer as I am getting older and my breathing has been labored as of late. By the by I decided to purchase this heater based on its price and the virtues extolled by the maker. I must say I was not impressed, it has done little to heat the interiour of my study, this foolish device just sits in the middle of the floor and buzzes. The room has not heated at all and it seems it would get warmer if I would just burn the thing. All is not a complete waste though because it does make an interesting conversation piece when I invite fellows into my study to chat due to its futuristic look and flashy lighting. If only it worked better. Oh well

Very happy with the purchase. Can't find anything wrong with it. The quality is superb because it's powerful yet quite even in the oscillating mode. Really want to thank the seller for shipping the item to Guam at a such reasonable rate. Will buy more from the seller in the future.

Don't waste your time or money on this poorly designed and manufactured piece of junk. It arrived from the factory with the frame bent due to poor installation of screws. The paint was chipped. It's noisy when oscillating, and has only one radiating element.

The heating system failed in our building, and it was miserable working on those cold concrete floors. This solved my problem. I could work with my coat on, but my feet were so awfully cold until I got this. Will keep it around for next time the heater fails...

I chose this space heater for looks and BTUs. I have a closed in screen porch and had planned to use it there. I knew I was in trouble when I ran it for the first time. The heat can be felt about 3' in front of the unit at most with the temp and fan/heat setting at max. Very underpowered based on product heating claims. It will be returned because it will not heat the amount of space advertised. Looks nice though.

This little thing hold the temperature well. We are picky about the way we make our coffee and teas and temperature control on this baby is one thing we don't have to fuss over, especially early in the morning. In our opinion, this little gem has water ready to go at any moment whenever a caffeine fix is in order is priceless. We had larger models in the past and they all worked flawlessly. We like this smaller version so much we will get a second one for office.

Pair this up with a nice french/tea press and you are set!

*Took away one star for pricing, comparing it to larger siblings, this thing should be priced around $100 in our opinion.

For a long time I tried to find a way to get hot water without scum taste. I tried various kettles and water boiling devices all produced a water with bad scum taste aftera while. Zojirushi devices (I own two of them, different models, one is used at home, another at work) are excellent. Although there is an instruction of how to clean them using citric acid, there was no need to do it for last 6 months or so I use them every day. It also unbelievable convenient to have a hot water ready for tea at any moment. Or am I just getting lazy?

I like the small capacity for personal use. It heats up fast. Most importantly, it's made in Japan so I'd think it should last and doesn't contain BPA or BPB..

I bought this at a local store last Fall and it has repeatedly failed on me. The reason is because there is no battery backup to save the programming in case of a power interruption even if there is a "blip" from your electric company and the power doesn't go out, this device resets everything deleting the settings you put in, and doesn't work unless you reprogram it. There's no feeling like going outside on a sub-zero morning and finding that your block heater was never on.

Also don't plan on programming this in the house then going outside to re-plug it in if you buy it, as the settings are instantly lost and you will have to monkey around with programming it outside in the cold weather.

Notice the product features and description listed here on amazon: ''Settings are reset when unplugged'' and ''Settings erased if power is interrupted.'' I wasn't aware of that when I bought it at the store and wish I could return it. I previously had a Whirlpool timer that lasted over a decade, had an AA battery backup for the programming in case of a power failure and was always reliable until last Fall. It's not made anymore and I'm on amazon now looking for something else to use next year and thought I'd warn other customers about this timer, which is another piece of junk made in China with an American brand name.

Discount Factory-Reconditioned BISSELL 7901R Powersteamer Proheat Clearview

Customer Ratings:

A couple of years ago we took our carpets out and refinished the 50 year old hardwood floors on the main level of the house. The floor below we kept the carpet because of the concrete slab. I had an old bissel steam cleaner (round model) from 15 years back that was dying out. We now have a 1 year old maltese that is not nessarily fully potty trained, so we needed to upgrade our cleaner. A neighbor had the 7901 model and we used it a couple of times and it worked wonders. I wanted to purchase one but not at the full price in the store. I ended up buying the factory reconditioned model and am very pleased with it. It really cleans and extracts the water from the rug. I use the separate attachments in my cars and it works much better than the bissel little green. I have not tried any other models or brands because I have been pleased with bissel in the past. All in all it has been a great purchased.

We put the steamer to work the day it arrived, and were completely satisfied with its performance. We have purchased new steamers in the past, and there was no discernable difference between them and the reconditioned model we purchased from Amazon. Try one. You'll like it!

My factory-reconditioned Bissell works just fine. I do agree that the "turbo brush" doesn't really do anything, however.

I have used my steamer about once a month since I bought it last summer (2004), and I have never had any problems with it. I even use a natural cleaner in it so that I don't put chemicals into my carpet that could harm my son, and that has not caused any problems either.

I do recommend that you perform the maintenance listed in the booklet because I see how problems could occur without proper maintenance, and it doesn't take a lot of effort to maintain this machine (mostly just rinsing off pieces that pop in and out). The most "difficult" task I have had in maintaining this machine was to unscrew the front of the unit to remove carpet fibers that had been sucked inside. It took less than 3 minutes total to do this.

I have not tried it on hard floors.

I really like this machine, and I recommend it!!

Honest reviews on Factory-Reconditioned BISSELL 7901R Powersteamer Proheat Clearview

It worked great for about 6 cleanings. After about 6 cleanings over the past year the Bissell Pro cleaners water bucket no longer seated very well. The suction dropped off to about 50% and I had to put weight on the bucket in order to suck up the water. That fix worked but then the REALLY CHEAP floor attachments broke. Yes, just when I needed it most to clean my stairs, the THIN and poorly designed floor suction attachment broke and would not spray water very well and it started leaking air where it cracked. It's been too long to get a refund so I'm throwing this one away and am going to try a hoover. I'm in my 40s and can work my way around most mechanical problems but I can't thicken cheap plastic parts. Bissell, your product engineers need to be fired!

To keep the long story short: I own it for 6+ months, it works Ok for carpets to remove stains when using hand tool (get ready for hard work). Standard mode does not do much as well as TurboBrush works for marketing purposes only. As for hardfloor cleaning this thing fails miserably (bare floor attachemnt does not help much eaither).

As for chemicals look for other brands. Bissel cleaning solutions are useless. I've tried Pink Solution and it works well, but remember to use hot water for SmartMix Tank on the last run otherwise this chemical may cloak the system. Scotchgard is a joke carpets stay cleaner without it.

On the positive side it is powerful and I really like the water tank idea easy to replace and clean.
