The hookup kit is for low pressure LPG and I needed high pressure parts. The description does not point this out! I returned the kit for credit no problem.

I used this with ProCom Dual Fuel Stove 25,000 BTU, Model# QD250T also purchased on Amazon. It worked fine for the nook that I put the stove in.

The line is pretty short, but that is ok. I would rather keep the line short so it does not kink. I see some dryers that have been hooked up to propane and the flexible gas line is all 'mashed' in the corner.

Put the valve on the black pipe, put some pipe dope on the connections. Came with 3 different fittings, but only used one and put the others in my spare parts box... you never know when you need one of these do dads..

The photos make this fireplace look MUCH more attractive than it actually is. The outside is very nice but the flame pattern is not even close to the photos.

The flames actually only go up about 4 inches from the bottom and are very hard to see, even in low lighting. As a matter of fact the reflection off the bottom shelf is easier to see than the actual flame pattern itself. And this reflection would disappear as soon as you placed the stones on the shelf, which I will not be doing because I am packing this thing up and sending it back asap.

Also the photos make the unit look much more "flush mounted" than is possible. Looking at the photos you see a SMALL shadow around the outside lip of the unit, but all together this thing sticks out from the wall over 6 inches. And you can't set it into the wall because it vents to the sides and top so it would be a fire hazard.

This unit is especially disappointing because we have two other electric fireplaces in the house already, and we are VERY happy with those! The other units are the free standing kind built into fireplace surrounds.

The second star is only because the unit is very attractive from the front, but in the "off" position!

We were pleased with this product. We bought it for our bedroom and it puts off a nice ambiance. It looks just as it does in the picture, but I do agree it sticks out a little bit further than expected. We initially thought we would recess it in the wall, but the heater blows out the top so that is out of the question. It would not prevent me from buying it again.

It doesn't put off a ton of heat, but it will get the room (with the door closed) cozy after it's on a bit. The flames are sufficient. It comes with a remote control which can be used to dim the flames or make them brighter.

I would purchase this product again. It would be perfect for a 3 seasons room or bathroom with soaking tub.

In my effort to find an attractive "space heater" for my kitchen I found this item. I do like it and it is serving its purpose. That said, I found it a little beat up upon arrival but something I could repair myself. Secondly, the unit really needs to be placed on a wall that is only seen from the front side as it protrudes a bit from the wall which makes it unattractive if you enter the room seeing if from a profile. My remedy since I did not have a wall as described was to corner it. I built a corner support unit so it is properly suspended off the floor. I think they should offer one for purchase for those consumers who would like this but need to corner it.

When you climb into it it feels almost like a normal firm mattress. but heated. I LOVE the water bed mostly because of the heat but I recently had lumbar fusion surgery 3 weeks ago and the water bed mattress just wasn't cutting it. As it was I was getting up in the morning very stiff and sore. This mattress gives me the luxaries I love most about a waterbed however without the soreness in the AM. I can barely even tell when my husband is in the bed where before we couldn't even cuddle at all due to a hill I would always be on. No more hill. THANK YOU!!!

The first time I ordered this mattress, two days latter hadn't shown up. A chat with customer service discovered it was never shipped. No reason why it was never shipped other than 'un-shippable' was given. The liner ordered at the same time did arrive.

Customer service offered to ship it overnight at no charge to me. This time, the mattress did show up: with a rather large hole in the side of the box. Opening the box, there was a hole in the plastic bag the mattress was in. Fortunately, no damage was found on a close inspection of the mattress.

As another review stated, there are no filling directions are provided. Not much of problem for me because I've been sleeping on water beds for over 20 years now.

The foam inside the mattress needs some time to uncompress. So getting the fill level is a bit tricky. It took about 48 hours for the internal foam to fully relax. Once it did, the mattress is a delight.

Customer service came through but it was quite a roller coaster ride to get the mattress. Time will tell if it was worth it.

This is the best waterbed ever (my 3rd) I thought I had it just right when I set it up, but my tests were with just me, and when you added my wife to the equation it was a little firm, so drained a little water out and now it is perfect. I the past I only had certain positions that I could find sleep, now it doesn't matter. Whatever position it just melts around and supports you. And on cold Colorado nights it's like crawling back in the womb, the sheets are warm and the bed is just right. Not everybody is a waterbed person, but I would recommend this waterbed to anyone. In addition the electric water pump is the only way to fly.

We have had this for a few weeks now. the support lining inside the mattress has somehow come loose from the mattress walls and is bunched up at the head of the mattress. The mattress feels like it's mushroomed out when my husband and i both are laying in the bed. We tried letting some of the water out thinking this would help but it hasn't. not sure what to do at this point. I can't imagine having to drain this and send it back. We were aware when we purchased the item that it was repackaged. Not sure if this had anything to do with our current problem or not. The mattress was not "used" when we recvd it though. before this occured that mattress was very comfortable.

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.

There seems to be poor thought in engineering all electric heaters. This one is in line with all the others, it has its good and bad points. Best not to be real interested in functions other than heat, at which this one is ok.

Pros: good heat output, oscillates, digital display, nice looking, 3 yr. warrenty, oscillation stops and starts

with the operation of the thermostat

Cons: hi and low heat are just that, heat, they aren't connected to the thermostat, turn it on and will run

forever I guess.

to use the thermostat you must get to auto and to do that you must touch either the up or down buttons and

presto you get auto. just set the desired temp and is shuts on and off like you would think a heater should.

don't expect even temp, it gets 2 degrees over set temp to shut off and 1 degree under set temp to turn back

on, that 3 degree swing is pretty noticable but most heaters are this way. I almost forgot, the auto only

functions with high heat, no choice there so if you want low heat you have no thermostat control

don't pick it up and move it or it resets itself to high heat, and the thermostat goes to 75, you will have

to go through the whole procedure to set another temp and get back to auto, this is a function of the tip

over switch I guess.

you have to lean way over to read the display, bad angle, to small, or just bad lighting, led's would be

better choice

who, now really, needs to have a remote control for a space heater

Seems to be a lot of cons but all heaters are pretty much the same in function. Doing it over I would get the

cheapest heater with a rotary switch and a rotary thermostat. Forget the digital display and remote control. Also

forget those $400.oo infrared heaters with nice wood cabinets. Physics is physics and E=ir still applies no matter

the price. 1500 watts is 1500 watts no matter what generates the heat. put a fan behind 15 100watt light bulbs

and you get the same amount of heat. This heater does what it was designed to do pretty well, but I think I could probably make one the way I would like it to function, just would cost to much to do.

Honest reviews on Optimus H-7318 Portable 17-Inch Oscillating Tower Heater

I love this heater! I've gone through several electric heaters that do not warm up a room fast enough. I have had this heater for over 2 years now and it finally broke. The caution light turns on and then it doesn't do anything. We think it may be the thermal fuse so we might head to Radio Shack and fix it ourselves. Anyway, this heater has traveled with me from 3 different houses and it lasted throughout. I also love the remote that comes with it. The oscillating feature was great and I loved how it turned on and heated up quickly. The digital temperature was easy to read and it turned off when the room would be at that temperature. Small heater with a lot of power! Definitely recommend this product. Just hope it doesn't break!

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I love my Bionaire space heater. I can't compare it to other heaters, but it has a wide oscillation range, very convenient remote control, and light enough to move from room to room. The heating capacity has been very good, with a nice touch screen LCD panel. There's a handle in the back with makes it very easy to move from room to room. It heats up very quickly and cools down almost immediately as well. The eco-smart setting is nice to conserve energy, while maintaining heat. It's very low noise, so easy to sleep with it on. It also has a timer function, and fan only function.

I loved it so much that I went out and bought another one! Enough said.

I read reviews before buying this and I was concerned that it might break after one week. I bought mine directly from the Lowe's. So whoever heater that broke after a week probably got a defective one. I have this heater for almost 2 months now and it is still running well. I wanted to give it a longer time before leaving a review. It heats up the room quickly. It is quieter than my previous heater. The light is awfully bright as the other reviewers have said. I just tape a cardboard over it and that helps. It has an automatic feature. If you set your heater to 65 degrees, the heater will stay on until it reaches this temperature. You also have the option to set it on "Stay On". I will recommend this to anyone under a budget and wants to sleep at night without having to worry about turning it off in the middle of the night.

These heat so well that I bought another one after I purchased my first. I use two to heat my moderately sized living room (this is a total of 3kwh) instead of running my central heat (15kwh). The cost savings are astronomical at more than $100 per month if you normally use electric heat in a multi-story new construction home.

One broke on me at the very end of the 2010 winter season and I'm just waiting for Bionare to get delivery of a shipment of the same model so they can ship me a new one. They did offer to upgrade me and send me one that they had available, but I really love this unit.

The other one, the fan isn't silent and instead makes a bit of a mechanical noise while it's running, but I haven't called back on that one because it's not too big of a deal.

I would recommend this heater to family and friends for convenience, effectiveness, and cost savings.

Honest reviews on Bionaire Tower Ceramic Heater

Originally, my family bought two of these from Costco somewhere in the $50 range. For over a year, it has performed well, giving consistent warmth to bedrooms and bathrooms.

Some positives:

* Very slim. It's tall, and doesn't take up a lot of space.

* Quiet.

* Comes with a wireless remote. Very useful when you don't want to get up to change the settings or to turn it off.

* LCD screen indicator. A very nice touch.

* Several modes: max heat, eco friendly, and a desired temperature.

* Osculating mode is quiet and moves smoothly.

Drawbacks:

* Max heat settings can use too much electricity. At our house, we don't use the max heat because it usually cuts off our electricity temporarily.

Overall, a solid ceramic heater with some nice features.

I use this heater to heat a 31" Trailer I have up in the Cascade Mountains in Washington state. I use the trailer every weekend year around. Night time tempatures during winter are near zero with teens during the days. This heater will keep the trailer around 60* at night and upper 60's during the day which is comfortable. During spring I just set the thermostat at 70*. It has run all winter without a problem. I liked it so much that i bought another one when the Lasko heater that i used in my bathroom at home crapped out. Both are working like new still. I bought both at Costco for around $40 each and highly recommend them.

Frankly, because it cost half the price of the second choice GE model, I placed my order with reservations that it may not be an effective appliance, and was prepared to return it if the trial didn't work out. Instead, I feel fantastic about choosing the economical Sonya over better-known brands. After researching many brands of apartment-sized dryers at all price points, the higher-capacity Sonya portable became my first choice. It was highly reviewed on several other websites, including those that specialize in small-space living.

My husband and I completed a traditional outdoor vented installation yesterday. This dryer, plus a vintage Lady Kenmore portable replaced the landlord's Whirlpool Duet high-capacity stacking system. Although the stackers were very nice, their bulk made our tiny laundry area ineffective. The Sonya dryer is at least 8 inches smaller in all dimensions than the previous dryer, yet it holds an impressive load of laundry. In arid, high-altitude Montana, it completely dried each load 6 so far, including one with 4 pairs of 40"x36" cargo pants and several T-shirts in about 90 minutes. Another plus is the included hardware for a hanging installation; this feature saved $100 over other models that require separate purchase of a stacking rack. The Sonya far exceeded our expectations. I would recommend it highly to anyone needing to squeeze every inch of performance from a closet-sized laundry area.

July 9, 2013 Following up on my original review after a month of use: My husband and I are both impressed with the Sonya high-capacity dryer. Other reviewers commented that this machine doesn't seem to get hot, or that it takes a long time to dry. My experience has been quite different. As long it is not overloaded with heavy wet clothing, a load of mixed garments will be completely dry in 90 minutes or less and be toasty warm when removed from the dryer!

Tips on effective use:

The installation directions for hanging the dryer do not mention installing two (included) 4" metal and rubber feet to the back-bottom of the dryer. There are pre-drilled holes in the chassis. YOU MUST INSTALL THESE TO KEEP THE DRYER FROM FALLING OFF THE HOOKS!

Install with flexible aluminum vent pipe, not the cheaper accordion plastic type. Connect the 3" vent into a 4" dryer vent in the floor or wall; a 4" to 3" adaptor, available at most hardware stores, makes the transition smoothly.

Keep the dryer lint traps clean. If the exit air vent is blocked with a blanket of lint, the steamy air remains in the dryer.

RUN THE SPIN CYCLE TWICE for loads of extra heavy clothing to extract as much water as possible before drying.

Process larger (Queen or King) bedding in 2 loads: one for the bottom sheet, a pillow case and a few T-shirts, and another similarly loaded for the top sheet.

Enjoy!

I ordered this product for our two bedroom apartment. We do laundry for two adults a 6 year old and an infant. This product is amazing! The dryer shipped quickly and got here fast. I did have to call in and figure out how to put the rotating band back on. It was a quick call an email later and a few basic tools to undo the back and just two hands to put the band back on. (They say during shipping it can come dislodged but it's a quick fix) after that I did a quick wash. (I handwashed our first load of laundry bc we had not ordered the sonya washer yet. It took a little longer to dry since I was unable to get all the water rang out of the clothes properly.

Either way this dryer is amazing. It handles big loads wonderfully.

This is the first time I have ever left a review. This is worth the money!!!! So worth it. Our electric bill has been level for the amount of clothes we wash and dry I thought it was going to higher but it has been pretty much the same.

I more then please with product!!!

Hope it does just as good for you when you purchase it. \(^_^)/

Best Deals for Sonya Portable Compact Laundry Dryer Apartment Size 110V 13lbs/3.75

I'm rating this dryer as 5 stars keeping in mind that it is a smaller dryer better for apartment sizes and for use with the smaller size portable washers. I'm using this with a HLP23E by Haier which is a 1.5 cu.ft. washer. I purchased this vs. one of the other even smaller dryers because as I understand the rule of thumb is to choose a dryer that's at least twice as many cu.ft. as your washer in order to dry clothes more quickly and more efficiently.

Now keep in mind that this does only use only a standard plug. Although you really do almost need a plug with it's own circuit. It's rated at 1400W/800W which W/V=A so it's 11.6/6.6Amps respectively. If you're using this on a 15A circuit with a bunch of other things you're going to be making a lot of trips to your panel and wearing out your breakers especially if you press the "high" button in on the dryer.

How I have it set up is next to a window in my kitchen. Unfortunately my whole apartment is run off two 15A fuses so I can't run this at the same time as anything else on the same circuit and it's best if I can set it up to run right before I go to bed. More on that to follow. I don't like venting it into my kitchen and throwing up dust everywhere especially since both my wife and I have allergies. Those little indoor dryer vents are about as code as my apartments wiring. I advise if you absolutely must vent inside (again, not code) that you vent into a HEPA vacuum bag. You may need some serious dehumidifying too.

In order to vent the dryer I took a piece of cedar board I had left over from another project and cut it so it would just fit into the upper stile of the window. I then cut a hole in it and screwed a standard dryer vent in. I carefully used insulation foam tape all the way around the board to seal any gaps. Standard dryer vent line is 4" but the exhaust on this dryer is not so I used some spring steel wire cutters to clip out a few of the vent tube reinforcement rings so I could zip tie one end of the standard exhaust tube over the smaller exhaust coming from the dryer. I removed the felt screen on the dryer vent since you wont need that venting to the outside, it seems just like a futile attempt to catch more dust from this thing. I also put up an 18" valence and with the dryer next to the window it hides the exhaust tube and the cedar board. I'm going to put some of the vinyl stained glass peel and stick(sort of) covers over the remaining exposed glass to further disguise my transgressions to this window which just looks out on a neighboring house anyway.

So about the power draw on this thing. I suppose if you were to leave it on low power by not pressing in the white button to the left of the time selector you probably could let it run through the whole cycle and it would get your clothes dry without wasting a ton of electricity. If you set it to high though it will get a load dry in a little under an hour and a half. I think you need to turn the knob to the max setting for it to get to max hotness which also gives you max time. So do you wanna sit around and wait while your clothes dry and not run anything else on that circuit in order to stop the cycle an hour and some odd minutes later? Neither do I. I know there are hourly countdown timers but am hour doesn't seem to be enough and the clothes are still damp. Luckily I picked up a mechanical countdown timer on E-bay that I won in auction for like $5 with shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121126923369?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 It's sold by weiproducts-us. They have a two and three prong version. They also have a two prong version of a digital timer with countdown function and say there is a 3 prong version but they don't have it yet. You need a three prong timer. I just plugged the dryer into the timer and set the dryer to max heat/time then set the timer for an hour and a half before I go to bed or leave, works every time.

A little more on the lint filter. I'm not sure how traditional dryers work but this thing has a belt driven drum and on the back of the drum is an in line turbine to push air out and is sealed around the sides by brush bristles. I don't think this thing will ever get hot enough to start a lint fire but after years of use those bristles are bound to rub down and fill the inside of the dryer with lint and moisture and eventually ruin it. I'll probably pull the back off this thing to check on the state of the bristles every few years and hopefully the company will provide a replacement kit should it be worn out. Although who knows, it may be durable enough that the bristles will last 20 years I'm not sure. Some humidity must still be escaping into the inside though so if it suddenly stops working after warranty it might be worthwhile to check the connections for corrosion inside. It is a pretty simple design though and although it's in line with the costs of comparable style dryers I think all these things should probably cost about half of current prices for what they really are.

Honest reviews on Sonya Portable Compact Laundry Dryer Apartment Size 110V 13lbs/3.75

This dryer works perfectly with the sonya apartment washer. My little apartment is able to house both of these in a small bathroom without sacrificing space. The dryer works very well, is quite quiet, and fits on a shelf to be out of the way. The fact it plugs into your standard outlet really helps since my little apartment doesn't have a 240v outlet. I'm saving time and money by being able to do my laundry at home. The lint trap is the only slightly inconvenient part of this dryer with it being all the way in the back. But it more than makes up for that with how quickly it drys clothes for its small size and it's ability to fit far more clothes than I expected. I also received this item two days after ordering it, very fast shipping. I highly recommend this product and the sonya apartment washer. Very satisfied customer.

I have used the heater almost everyday since I received it. I am very pleased with the performance of the heater. There are two settings, plus you can adjust the heat within each setting.

Cheap Turbo Tropical Fish Liquid Solar Blanket

Turbo Tropical Fish Liquid Solar Blanket
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

We have been using a liquid solar cover for a couple of years. We used the ecosavr and liked it. I guess they stopped making those because I can no longer get them. So I went with the Turbo, and it is suck-o.

First off, the fish does not sink to the bottom of the pool. So mine keep getting stuck in the skimmer. The instructions say that it will sink in time... 5 hours later no luck. So I tied it to the bottom of the ladder and the grommet ripped out...and it floated back to the surface...grrrrrr....

So then I re-read the instructions (I am kinda of a doofus at times so maybe I missed something) The instructions say if I shake it vigorously in the water it will sink faster. So I put on my underwater iPod (highly recommended by the way) turned on "Hey ya" (no wait...its on my wifes playlist not mine...really...) and I shake it like a Polaroid picture.

They it rips open like parachute at 1500' and the liquid mess empties into the pool....grrrr...

Needless to say, the other Turbos are going back today. One of the worst products I have seen since the Six Flags Bonzi Slide. Save your cash and the chemical balance of your pool and learn from my goober mistake. Avoid the Turbo.

Heard about it first late last summer and used two for the remainder of the season. Worked great I think hard to tell how often (or less often) the heater kicked on, but it seemed less. Fish behaved as advertised, no problems. It did like to swim around the skimmer, but once it sank it stayed down. Buying 6 for this summer, keep one left over for opening next year.

This is my first year using the turbo solar fish and I love it! Since there is no more messing with the solar cover, I find we use the pool more. And it heated the pool up better than the solar cover. I'd have to reread the directions, but I thought the fish was supposed to slowly sink over 30 days, not immendiately sink. When it does sink, it's empty. We tied ours to the ladder and it works great.
