This is the second order for the same model thermostats. The first was correct and is working as expected. The second order though for the same model, had a lower model shipped. The outcome, my heat did not work for a couple of weeks while I wrestled with the manufacturer who is not customer oriented. I will reuse the ETD620W1 shipped in small rooms and try to get the correct ETD620W2 model shipped this time. This could have been a catastrophe.

I've had mine about a week. Initial impressions so far are all very positive! This model is yet another 1500 watt ceramic heater and there is no shortage of them from several makers. Initially I set out to buy one of those fake portable fireplaces or wood-stoves with the visible fake fire inside. Reading all the specs and user reviews I could find on every one of those fireplaces and stoves it seems the maximum heat they put out is exactly the same as this far more compact and much less costly Lasko heater. About 1,500 watt power consumption and approximately 5,100 BTU heat output is the most you'll find in a portable room heater for home use. I settled on the ceramic type because of the rapid heating since I am only going to run it when I'm in the area where it is located. Ultimately since I only need an auxiliary heater a few months out of the year I decided that I really didn't want a fake fireplace or wood stove collecting dust the other 8 months of the year when I didn't actually need to use it. The Lasko is very compact stowing under the bed out of the way when not needed and is easily portable with a built in recess to use as a carry handle in the top back of the unit. I also read reviews about how the fans in some of the portable fireplaces/wood stoves were very noisy which next sent me looking for a very quiet ceramic heater. The word QUIET kept coming up in reviews of this Lasko heater and mine in fact makes hardly any sound at all! You do hear a low hum but that is all the sound mine has made so far and it does not interfere with TV or music enjoyment. The cable is 6 feet long.

I compared numerous brands of ceramic heaters with built in fans including Bionaire, Sunbeam, Honeywell and others. The Lasko warranty is 3 years which is the second longest warranty out there as the Bionaire has a 5 year warranty. The Lasko oscillates, it is very compact and is stylish looking more like a stereo speaker than a room heater. I also own a Lasko high velocity utility fan that continues to serve me well. Collectively those were the deciding factors in choosing the Lasko brand. Bionaire makes a good product as evidenced by their longer warranty, but their user reviews were not as strong regarding reliability on similarly priced Bionaire models.

The Lasko oscillation function was difficult to visualize before plugging it in, but how it works is that the entire unit except the small black base pivots silently left to right then right to left in a travel arc of about 45 degrees when you press the silver OSCILLATION bar on the control panel. Press the oscillation bar again and it stops moving immediately wherever it is at that moment. Now that I've used it the oscillation does actually seem to speed warming of the entire room and is a worthwhile feature I would definitely want again.

After looking for a space heater with a UL Seal I could not find one! I also looked for a heater made in the USA or at least North America and could not find one of those either. While made in China like the others and there is no UL seal, this one seems well made, sturdy and works perfectly. This heater is not easily knocked over, has an overheating safety shutdown, and is safe around pets or small children as it only gets warm to the touch. It has a red LED power light that is always on when the unit is plugged in whether turned on or not.

I would not hesitate recommending this Lasko portable ceramic room heater to a friend but encourage you to shop around as your needs might be different from mine. For example, an oil filler radiator type heater makes more sense if you plan to run it about all the time. If you need quick heat in a small to medium sized room for a few hours per day then a ceramic is probably better for your needs than the oil filled radiator type you run about all the time.

There are 4 settings on the operation switch which are OFF, Fan Only, 1 for Low Heat and 2 for High Heat. On high heat it consumes 1,500 watts, on low heat about 900 watts. The fan is always on when the heater is actually heating and cycles off when the thermostat turns off the heating element. The fan only has one speed but it is adequate enough to double as a small personal fan in hot weather making this unit more versatile than I expected when I bought it. The "fan only" feature may keep it out from under the bed in the summer but it won't replace the high velocity Lasko utility fan I own that moves a ton of air.

This unit's thermostat is easy to use. Once the room is at the temperature you like, slowly rotate the thermostat left until the unit cycles off and it will then cycle on and off to maintain a comfort level that is in the same ballpark.

I have turned down the thermostat on the main heat to 60 degrees and using this unit for the small area where I spend most of my awake time to make it more comfortable. Hopefully it will save money by not heating the entire place to 70 degrees. All on it's own it will heat up about 150 Sq Ft. to 70 degrees on high setting in 30 to 60 minutes, then cut it to low and it will maintain room comfort indefinitely. If you use a 15,000 BTU AC unit to cool an area, you can not reasonably expect one 5,100 BTU portable heater alone to heat the same area unaided, because you probably would need three of these units. When using in an area much larger than about 150 sq. ft. you may find you have to run it on high all the time to get much benefit. In order to get the maximum economy a space heater like this should be ran on high for about an hour at the most to warm up the room then reduced to low to maintain the temperature. If you find it is running on high all the time without warming the room enough so that you can turn it down or have the thermostat cycle off then you probably need to add a second or even a third one. The 150 Sq. Ft. rule seems to apply to all these 1,500 watt room heaters. This unit is not intended to heat an entire home, floor or even apartment unaided. Think of this as a whole-room heater, not a whole-house heater.

There is no remote control or digital thermostat control on this unit, but those features add a substantial amount to the price and I don't mind manually setting the thermostat. Other Lasko models are available with those extra features if you need them. I only use it when I'm up and around so I don't mind turning it on and off, changing the power setting or setting the thermostat manually. The last thing I need is yet another remote control to buy batteries for and lose in the sofa cushions.

So far as operational cost in concerned, it is easy to calculate based on your cost per kilowatt Hour for power. On high any 1500 watt heater like this one uses 1.5 KW per hour when actually heating. Here I pay 13.9 cents per KWH so it costs me about 21 cents per hour when heating on high setting in constant use. On low setting when heating it uses about 0.9 KW per hour so that costs me about 12.5 cents per hour of constant use. Your cost per KW Hour may be lower or higher so you'll have to do your own math. I run mine on low except for the first 30 minutes or so. If I ran it on high constantly heating for 24 hours it would cost me about $5, on low it would cost me about $3 for 24 hours of constant heating. I only run it about 8 hours per day and mostly that is on low, so the most it will cost is about 30 dollars per month, but that is not counting what I save by cutting down the thermostat on the whole house. The Lasko doesn't run continuously and it cycles on and off maybe running about 60% of the time on an average day here which is about 50 degrees outside for a high temperature and 30 for a low. It should save me some money over heating the entire house to 70 degrees, but I'm not sure exactly how much yet. I do know I am warm in this room and the main heat isn't running nearly as often or running quite as long when it does run.

I was very reluctant to purchase this heater and did so based on the only 3 reviews I could find. I have a basement room in my house that can get pretty chilly during the midwest winters (approx. 20 degrees outside = 55-60 degrees inside).

I thought about the infrared cabinet heaters that have become so popular but didn't have the $175-$300 to pay for one at the time. I have to say, I am extremely impressed with not only the quality of this little heater (the size of a surround sound stereo speaker) but with the effectiveness at heating the room (approximately 400 sq. ft).

Very pleased... I think you will be too.

I have the "designer" version from this maker and wanted another for the bath downstairs so took a chance on this one. It is a different style but basically the same quality. Was not disapointed, it is just as well made and trouble free as the designer one and heats up my bath very nicely. Also it has a nice long electrical cord which makes it easy to place where you need it. I expect to use them both for years to come.

Honest reviews on Lasko 5307 Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater, 16-Inch

I live in a 40 foot, 1 bedroom trailer. I need a safe way to heat during the winter months. I have 3 tiny dogs and 2 cats inside. It worries me that they would knock papers off of the computer desk, catch fire, and burn the place down! At first I bought one heater and I love it! Very quiet, warms up quickly, no extremely hot surface to catch paper on fire! I liked the first so much I bought a second for the bathroom/bedroom end of the trailer. I can't tell you how awesome these heaters are! For the first time since I have lived here, I have quiet, consistent heat and the front end is as warm as the back end! When the temperature is right, I click the dial and it keeps the room that very temperature! Note: Walmart sells these heaters for $32.97 each.

I purchased this heater to replace a very old Lakewood 1500W ceramic heater that began working incorrectly. Although this heater is quiet and produces plenty of heat, upon running the Lasko heater, I was immediately presented with a terrible headache-inducing odor as the heater element got hot. I expected that it would go away after a little while, so I shut the bathroom door, opened the window, and let the heater run for a few hours to burn off whatever was causing the awful smell. It didn't work. I continued using it in the mornings while getting ready for work for the better part of a week, and the smell never went away. I finally decided that I shouldn't be breathing such bad fumes, so I returned it. Also, my colleague at work has this same heater, which she has had for months, and it still makes the same odor after being used for a much longer period of time than I had mine. Clearly, this is a manufacturing issue. I've owned a number of other ceramic heaters, and none of them have produced anywhere near the same amount of odor when running as this one.

Due to the toxic odor emitted from this heater, I cannot recommend it to others.

I looked over many sets on-line and I chose this one based on looks and certainly on the weight of the set. If you look at the other sets, most of them weigh much less; some even one-half of what this weighs. My last set was much cheaper and it showed after time.... the shovel could bend at the shovel end, etc. I was concerned buying a tool set on line without seeing and feeling it. I was certainly pleased when this one arrived and I knew instantly that it would hold up for a lifetime. It is heavy duty. Very pleased with my purchase. Highly recommend. Looks great!

This is a great little stove! It heats up quickly. You really have to be carefully and not touch the stove as the directions states because the metal on the outside get very hot. Be sure to keep it sitting on a smooth flat surface so that the air can circulate around it! Takes up little space on the counter. It also seems to be quite sturdy as I have already had the misfortune of dropping it, but it still heats right up. It surely deserves 5 stars!

Best Deals for Gold 'N Hot Professional Ceramic Heater Stove

Hi Natural Sisters! If you need one of these then you are doing an old fashioned press n curl! : ) or something like that. Anyhoo I remember back in the day when we would use the kitchen stove. I just bought a thermal flat iron (*note when we say "thermal" that means uses a stove and has marcel handles, some folks say" Marcel Irons", it's all where you are from). The reason why a thermal iron is often preferred is the iron quality. Quality iron is what produces a good finish. Electric irons use a different type of metal plate that does not work as well on coarser hair.

Well when I pulled mine out of the box I was pleased. I received mine fast because Amazon was the filler. It is true, these ovens are hot hot hot around the outside so be careful. I had to order one because nowadays it's just not proper to use the kitchen stove. So I bought for convenience and i luv it. the price is okay, wish they were cheaper and I wish we made them in the USA. Back in the day the cords were covered in a cloth because the cord can easily burn too if it touches the metal. I NEVER thought being in beauty school in the 80's that we would come back to this way of doing things. But it's good to be natural. Our hair really is beautiful just learn some styling tips on youtube, you can do it.

Now I can do my hair all in my room. Before I had to keep going into the kitchen, then wait for the comb to cool down, then take it back into the kitchen, etc. This added probably an hour to my hair time. Now I just heat up my comb in my room with my mirrors and other hair products and I can get it done in about two hours rather than 3!

This stove gets REALLY hot though. Don't touch the outside and make sure it's not around anything flammable. It's very sturdy, seems like it will last me a while. I am pleased!

Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

Based on the other reviews, it sounds as though the EQ2 works for some people and doesn't for others depending on their individual room and HVAC configurations. I have an upstairs room with a vaulted ceiling that is 10 degrees Fahrenheit hotter or colder than the rest of the house. The room is more than 200 sq. ft., has only one vent, and is the farthest from the blower. I've had my EQ2 now for 3 years and it is still working fine. The EQ2 brings the temperature difference down to about 4 degrees, which is livable. I tried out the AirFlow Breeze that has 2 DC fans in it but it didn't work as well as the EQ2.

Like everyone else I have a room that doesn't get the benefit of enough heat. Is is fed by a side duct off the main furnace duct really a bad design because the heat on its way up three flights races past this duct and even a scoop doesn't cure the 5 degree deficit. I put this fan over one of the two outlets for this side duct, AND BLOCKED THE OTHER to prevent the fan from just pulling air from the other vent. It now has to pull from the furnace and the 5 degree difference disappeared. It is also on a thermostatic control.

Works as advertised. My family recently moved into a 2-story colonial, and the airflow coming out of the vents in the master bedroom is a little weak, making it warmer than the rest of the bedrooms on the top floor. I could turn down the thermostat, but that would freeze out the rest of the house. The Suncourt (HC500) and Airflow Breeze boosted registers caught my eye, but I wanted a quick solution (i.e. no order-and-wait) and the local Home Depot had the HC300 in stock.

What can I say, but "it works". Without the HC300, the airflow (floor vents shooting upward) reached a height of 3 ft (based on holding my hand above the vent), and with the booster, it reached a perceptible height of 5 feet. With a single booster over 1 of our 2 vents, the master bedroom was noticeably cooler. In fact it worked so well that I ordered two in-vent boosters (HC500) so that I have one for each duct. The weather has cooled down, so I'm unable to compared those to the HC300, except that they are quieter.

As far as noise goes, the HC300 is not silent, but it is far quieter than a Marpac white noise machine set to the lowest setting (we use that in our baby's room). Actually, for use in a bedroom, I find the low level of white noise kinda soothing. As an added bonus, the fan in the booster doesn't turn off until the air temperature from the ductwork reaches a preset temperature. That means that after the AC (or heat) has turned off, the booster is still scavenging the remaining cool (or warm during the winter) air from the ductwork.

This is a great solution if your airflow to a room is weak, but I can imagine some circumstances (strong airflow, but warm air) where boosting the airflow won't help or you'll have a ceiling effect. Yes, you ideally would want to call in a professional to rebalance the ductwork, but in many instances it would be cost prohibitive (i.e. ripping up flooring to get to the ductwork).

I give it a 4 out of 5, with 1 point deducted for the (albeit low) noise level.

Honest reviews on Suncourt HC300 Heating & Air Conditioning Booster Fan

Yep, I gotta agree with the other reviewers that this is a waste of money. Great concept, poorly executed. It does turn on and off automatically, but that's it's only good point.

I have an upstairs bedroom that gets about 5-6 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. Warmer even than the adjacent bedroom. Put one of these over the vent, checked the temperature all day, and there was no difference. I think most computer fans are probably quieter and blow more air. All this seems to do is churn the air around a bit.

While I'm not a mechanical engineer, I think this product could have been designed better, without adding cost, and actually might have worked.

Save your money. If you have a vent that's not vlowing much air, try removing the grill. The grill restricts the airflow and removing it might be enough to help.

I bought two register boosters several years ago and one of the two recently stopped working; could not be repaired by my engineer husband. No longer carried at local store so I ordered two online. We use them on the second floor of our home to boost heat in the winter and A/C in the summer and they work very well. Hope neither of the new ones ordered via Amazon fail!

I just received this item today. It was packaged well and arrived undamaged.

When I opened it I noticed that the two burners are different from each other. The burner on the left is labeled as COOK/BOIL and the right-hand burner is labeled REHEAT/SIMMER.

In operation, the right-hand burner only gets half as hot as the left.

This is the third brand of double burner that I purchased, and they all have the same problem. They work fine until a pot of water boils over. The water runs down inside the case and you get a big flash and a cloud of smoke, and shorted out fried electrics. Even the "flat plate" types have his problem. Can't use induction types because the pots and pans are stainless or other non-magnetic materials. I'd love to see someone make an affordable two burner portable ceramic cooktop. Until then, I'll keep buying cheap single burners and consider them to be disposable.

It works, but has some serious design flaws. First, the heating elements are not solidly stable, so that they may tilt or unseat. If they become unseated when they are hot, you have to jiggle them back with an oven mitt or something. Second, there is only one on-off switch. This means that when the unit is turned on, both burners are on. Even if you turn one you aren't using down to MIN, it is still warm. If you forget and leave it higher, it's dangerous. Would it have been so hard to put two switches on the thing?

CONS: Light weighted cabinet (not stable); imitation wood (sticker); inaccurate temperature detection; displayed temperature is the temperature to reach, not the current temperature in the room; fan is very loud; no battery for the remote; advertises as a 6500 BTU when in fact it is a 5100 BTU unit.

PROS: Light weight (but easy to move); has auto turn on and off; has an economy mode setting (500 watts); master on/off switch; fan seems to blow pretty hard.

NEUTRAL: Heat blows toward the floor (maybe 35 degree angle)

..based on my experience attempting to return this item, BEWARE OF FAT BOY TOOLS a seller of this item.

I decided on this particular heater over others because it advertises the heater as 6500 BTUs and a five year warranty. When it arrived and I was looking at the box I noticed that it was only 5100 BTUs and has a 3 year year warranty. I thought they had sent me the wrong one but when I compared the model number it was the correct model number. I contacted the company that sent me the heater and they just said that that was the information the Lifesmart company provided them with. To me, that is false advertising!

For starters, I think this is the first time I've taken the time to write a review. I was just a little frustrated how poorly this product was ranked after I committed to buy two of them.

I actually bought this product from e-bay as they were running a big sale. However, I buy a ton from Amazon and always compare prices to theirs and often look at some of the reviews. As with any other item, there are almost always a lot of likes and dislikes. This product had plenty of one star reviews which kind of scared me. Then, I looked at the intelligence level of the reviewers. The fan was "noiser" as opposed to "noisier". One star because the remote didn't have batteries, really??? It wasn't made out of wood, it was plastic on wood. Not true with mine, it's not oak or anything, but it is at least veneer. It only raised the room "2 degree" my old one raised it "8 degree". Firstly, more than one means "degrees". There were some other reviewers that had experience with more expensive units that said this performed "comparably" for the price. I went with the more educated people and bought two of these units. I've only been using them for two days and I'm actually pretty impressed. I use these for localized heating because I run a pellet stove in a 2,850 square foot house. The heat simply can't make it to all areas. I was using some smaller electric faux stoves that worked fairly well. However, not all of them I had have built in thermostats. These units do and they seem to work pretty well. I had one in my bedroom (big bedroom and master bath) and set it at 65 degrees last night. This morning, my atomic clock was reading 63.9 degrees. Close enough considering I have the blower pointing away from the clock. I'm sure it would have been higher if I pointed the heater towards the clock/thermometer. This was on the low (500W) setting. I have not even used the 1,000W setting yet. This product is advertised to help supplement your existing heat and to be efficient at doing so. I don't pay that much attention to my electric bill, but it's 1,500W which seems to be the max for all of these small stand alone units (for the most part). I have oil heat which I have not used for two years since installing a large pellet stove, thanks to my free Obama money at the end of 2011. But, as mentioned before, the heat can't permeate through my entire house well. I use some ceiling fans to move the air around but that's not enough to get the upstairs warm. Yes, I understand, heat rises, but apparently, not as much as I would like. So, in a nutshell, this seems to work great to heat a room locally. It also has an auto on/auto off timer. I have not used that either, but figure the auto on will work nice to come on a couple of hours before you get home. It's not like an alarm clock. You have to tell it to come on in a certain amount of hours. Other complaints included that the display shows the setpoint, not the actual temperature. OK, some people will want it one way, some the other. It seems to hold the setpoint fairly well, so I'm OK with that. Another heater I have displays the actual temperature of the heater, so it is consistently hotter than what the actual room temperature is. Lastly, some people complain it's too loud. The filter on my fishtank, which is called a Whisper filter, is louder, so the volume does not bother me. Seems fine. I guess that's enough said, I think it's a pretty good product. While it may not completely heat your trailer, it's pretty good for keeping some larger rooms that need a boost nice and cozy. I'd recommend to a friend.

Pros:

Attractive package that you can easily put a picture or plant on top of

Fully assembled upon arrival, including the wheels (which are stable as opposed to one review)

On/Off Timer

Remote (except for the added $1.00 you'll have to pay for two AA batteries)

F/C temperature display

Directional heat as you can point it where you want the heat to go

Cons:

People seem to have had problems with the vendor they purchased it from when they were dissatisfied

Doesn't have the fake logs and flames that the faux heaters have that most people actually enjoy

Won't walk my dog or make me coffee in the morning (just had to come up with a complaint like the other one star reviews)

Sorry if I insulted anyone's intelligence, but some of those reviews really are comical.

Happy New Year

Honest reviews on Lifesmart Power Plus 6 Element 1800 Square Foot Infrared Quartz

I bought this product for 179.00 on Amazon, through FAT BOYS TOOLS. It works about the same as my hair dryer on warm.

It ran quite for about three hours and now makes enough noise to be bothersome.

Honestly, I have a 30.00 radiant heater that works ten times better.

In retuning this item I have to pay a 12% restocking fee, that is 31.60 to me, and a 11.40 pre paid shipping fee. The grand total for 43.00. I have learned my lesson, do not buy from Fat Boys Tools. I tried to work something out with them, I wanted a replacement heater, but they don't sell any other heaters that work better then this one. In fact the young lady in customer service told me that this heater only heats as a secondary heater and brings the room four degrees higher then the primary heat source has heated it. Sounds to me that 1800 square feet "line" is just an eye catching bate, It is advertised to "1800 Square Foot Infrared Quartz Heater...." Sounds to me like it might heat that 1800 square ft. space. My place is no more then 600 sq. feet all one room, No it is not warm!!!

smaller

button is better

timer

able to switch (low, high, eco)

con:

less heat on highest setting

noisy

expensive

Found this heater on , bought it with free 2-day Amazon Prime shipping, and put it together yesterday. Easy as pie! Another reviewer said that despite the sand in the base that his GardenSun blew over and dented the reflector, so I bought 4 long bolts to replace the ones that shipped with it, and put the bolts all the way through the wooden deck and secured it underneath. Now it's solid like a rock, who wants to move theirs around anyway? Starting the pilot light the first time can be a bit tricky, read the included instructions & you'll be fine.

EDIT----

This is a great bench because it folds up for easy storage and is long enough for a number of people. It is a little tippy as we found out when my six-year-old nephew was standing on it and it rolled over.

Liners just like these sell for at least twice as much in most other stores. Heavy gauge vinyl, fits my waterbed frame corner to corner, and is taller than my old one. I replace my liner every time I replace my water mattress. That happens about every 10-15 years.

It fit perfectly, stood up on it's own and was very easy to install. For the price I would buy it again.

A disastrous late night waterbed lead prompted the purchase of this liner. It will certainly contain the water should another disaster occur. It is much better than others we have purchased, and we can now sleep soundly without the annoying drip of water!

THis is a great way to get a serving of hard ice cream without wrenching one's wrist!! My mom gives them as gifts to her friends.

this handy product eliminates the work of scooping hard ice cream or waiting for it to soften enough to easily scoop.Only problem is if there is a power failure. Of course if the power failure lasts long enough the ice cream will be plenty soft !!! The construction appears to be of good quality and should last a long time. We are pleased with this purchase.

Are you like me? Do you know darn well that you'll be serving ice cream after dinner but never seem to remove the ice cream from your freezer to that it can thaw to a reasonable scoopability? And do you then break out a hammer and chisel and begin to hack away at rock hard ice cream to the amusement of your friends as bits of mint chocolate chip fly about the kitchen as you feebiliy attempt to extricate enough ice cream for a single serving? Actually, I've never done that. What I do is just serve the cookies and bag the whole "let's have ice cream" altogether, but that's not important right now.

Apparently, over frozen ice cream is a real problem these days. There are throngs of people who forget to thaw the ice cream, and in a pinch, they need to scoop that stuff fast, else the party shall be in ruin. Or something like that.

So, enter this fun and exciting product that consists of a mildly heated scooper that promises to dig through the rock solid ice cream like a warm knife through butter. If only, my friend, if only.

First, it's big. Yes, my friend, you can wield this item like a barbarian with a heavy club as you attack your half gallon ice cream container. I mean, this thing is big. If you're under five foot four, you're better off hacking at the ice cream with a two handed broad sword. Ok, it's not THAT big, but believe me now when I tell you that small hands will find this scoop unwieldy.

Second, the heating element in this takes about as long to reach optimum temperature as it would take you to actually hand churn the ice cream. Understand that the goal of the product is not to actually get hot. That would melt the ice cream into a soupy mess. The goal isn't even to get warm, that would be somewhat useful. No, the goal is to get amusingly tepid to the point that if you let it heat up inside your hand, you won't be exactly sure if the item heated up on its own or whether your hands did all the warming.

Third, in the time that it takes for the item to heat up to optimum temperature your ice cream, which you should have taken from the freezer by now, is already in the process of thawing. So, lucky you, eventually you have a mildly slightly tepid scooper working at ice cream that is now reasonably thawed. Who is to say it actually did anything.

So, I tried it on ice cream straight from the freezer and guess what....it still took a Herculean effort to actually scoop ice cream. Hammer and Chisel plus one, tepid ice cream scoop, zero.

The scoops that are on the market that actually transfer your hand heat into the scoop are as effective, if not more so, because they can actually be held in your hand. This thing is just too big.

And once the ice cream is actually no longer hard frozen, the next problem you have is that the mildly tepid device then overperforms so that you end up with scoops that have soupy outsides. By this point, just use a regular scoop.

So, upwards of $50 for something that is too large, ineffective, and ultimately not so very useful is too much to spend on something that then takes up too much space in a drawer or cabinet.

Frankly, you're better off using a kitchen timer to ding when it's time for you to take the ice cream out of the freezer so it can thaw. Better yet, save the money on the timer and tie a strink to your finger as a reminder.

Skip this product. Not worth it.

User Update: I realize that there are those who say that their aged mother or father really likes this item because they have arthritis or are too weak to scoop the ice cream. It still takes forever and a day to heat up and ultimately, waiting for the thaw achieves the same thing and is one less large item to clutter up mom or dad's drawer. But, to each his own.

As stated above I purchased this product in hopes that I could with more ease scoop out ice cream.............. I'm handicapped with only a left arm / hand. When I received the " Deni 5111 Electric Ice-Cream Scoop with Nonstick Surface " I plugged it in and notice it took considerable amount of time to heat up. When attempting to scoop out the ice cream it became immediately apparent that the electric scoop was simply too under-powered to scoop out the ice cream plus with every attempt it cooled too quickly which leads you to allow it to warm up again with every scoop.

I've also noticed trying to continue to use it even though it does not retain it's preset temperature is futile as it's bulky size does not make it a good scoop in the first place.

All in all I am extremely disappointed that this product was not further tested before releasing it on the public who then is forced to "beta test" this for them (manufacture).

Best Aroma AWK-160SB Pasta Plus Water Kettle and Noodle Cooker Deals

In my quest for a healthier lifestyle, I decided to add green tea to my daily liquid intake. I've never been a coffee or tea drinker so I perused Amazon to find an electric tea kettle for my work office.

I decided to try the Aroma AWK-160SB kettle/cooker for several reasons. First, I like that it's stainless steel and not plastic like so many other electric teapots. Second, the price seemed very reasonable for the item's quality, and third, the pasta option seemed really cool!

I got my kettle and took it to work, only to find that the on/off switch would kick to off immediately when I turned the temp up. So, to boil water I had to hold down the switch manually. Not good. I contacted Amazon about returning the item and was VERY VERY impressed with their return policy on faulty products. They RUSHED me a new one AND paid return postage on the bad one. In this day of awful customer service being the norm for so many companies, I was thrilled about how well Amazon treated me.

When I got the new one, I was happy to find that it worked just fine. It is SO versatile. I've cooked both pasta and oatmeal in it, and also make my daily green tea. It comes to a boil very quickly and it's very easy to turn down the dial and stabilize the water temp at just under a rolling boil for pasta.

My only complaint is that the cord that comes out of the base is really short, but worse is that it's stiff and twisted (from being wrapped around the base) and when you don't have the pot on the base, the cord can and will whip the base around like what happens to a person at the end of the line in 'crack the whip'.

I would think this item would be handy for an office, a dorm room or a single person's kitchen. All in all, I'm quite impressed with its features and its cost/quality value.

I use this as a water kettle only currently, and I really like it so far. I've looked for a long time for an electric kettle that allows the water not to contact any plastic, and this kettle has this exact feature -the interior is completely metal although the lid is plastic, but you don't have to use the lid if you don't want to. I also like the way the heating element is completely sealed and that the kettle detaches from the base (the cordless feature). This kettle's construction appear to be very good quality, and it has a 1-year warranty. Its water kettle function works great -it boils 1 liter of cold water in about 5 minutes. It being a noodle cooker/ soup warmer is a cool feature that I might use one day. This item also comes with a collander and a cute little metal pasta fork to aid you with cooking noodles. I'm very glad I found this kettle.

I've only had this item for 3 weeks now and primarily purchased it for cooking 2 portions of pasta and Ramen noodle soups quickly.. I've used it about 15 times so far and here are the results..

The Good:

The pot is extreamly well built and boils water for cooking pasta and soups much quicker than on the stove. The pasta cooking feature works great for 2 cups (dry) of wide egg noodles, as well as Ramen Noodle soups.

It also works great for simply boiling water for tea or any other use, and the automatic shutoff feature is great as well..

The Bad:

Because the electronics are in the pot itself, and not the base, and the manual warns of getting those components wet, the pot is more difficult to clean than it should be. The pot is also not teflon lined, so I would not be inclined to cook cream based soups or other things that might stick.. I also have to agree with another reviewer here about the power cord.. It's very stiff and unyielding, much more so than necessary in this day and age. When the pot is off the base its basically "the tail wagging the dog". The cord is also hard to store in the base as well.

The Bottom Line.

If you can live with the bad which isn't really hard to do, it's a great little appliance and has found a favored spot in my kitchen..

Honest reviews on Aroma AWK-160SB Pasta Plus Water Kettle and Noodle Cooker

I bought this item to boil water and cook food without a range after my house burned down. It boils water pretty fast and is great for drip coffee or espresso. You can also throw the tea bags right in it for tea. I cooked pasta in it, and although the cleanup isn't fun and you have to be careful about the water level so it doesn't boil over, that works too. For a single serving, it's so much faster than a stove as well. I also used it for instant oatmeal and to heat soup. You can eat right out of it if you want.

To clean it, I soak it in a vinegar solution overnight, and then it's easy. I have well water with lots of minerals, so that takes care of the mineral buildup at the same time. I'd never get one that didn't have a wide opening as it would be horrible to clean! The simple shape and wide opening means you can get right in there with a scrubbie.

I also love that there's no plastic in contact with the water. I had a plastic one, and one day it shocked me when I placed my finger in the water (the metal heating element didn't interface well with the plastic container), and the plastic got horribly discolored with iron and tomato sauce.

But, after using the Aroma for four months, I started to smell plastic burning inside the unit. It seemed that it had an electrical issue, and that could cause a fire! Which, after being through a fire and being told by the fire marshal that small appliances are a major cause of house fires, freaked me out! I hope I just got a defective one. I liked its functionality so much I might try another...it's so versatile and the stainless steel is high quality and thick.

I've used electric teakettles for about 25 years. This one promises to last a long time the heating element is self-contained, the pot itself has no holes in it, and thus no gaskets to leak. However, it was designed by someone who never uses an electric teakettle.

It is sloppy to pour, and clumsy to fill (you have to remove the top, which is locked on or is it off? hard to tell by 2 little press tabs). The top always has a large puddle of condensation ready to drip out. It is hard to read the Max and Min labels. Also, I have twice scalded my thumb because of the gap between the handle and the top. Plus, I really cannot imagine someone using both the teakettle and the pasta cooker maybe my son at college, except he wouldn't trust the plastic drainer. Others are keen on the lack of plastic, but the top is plastic and the pasta strainer is cheap plastic.

I think the scalding concern should make this a good candidate for recall.

Aroma could have made this quite elegant and useful, but instead it is simply klutzy and unsafe.

Reviews of Roadpro Replacement Fan Motor for Deluxe Snackmaster RPSF-5234

Roadpro Replacement Fan Motor for Deluxe Snackmaster RPSF-5234 Cooler/Warmer - Roadpro RPSMM
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

We've really loved our Coleman plug-in cooler which we've had for seven years, but recently the fan motor stopped working. The motor that is advertised as fitting the majority of the Coleman thermoelectric coolers (like the 5615/ 5232/ 5640/ 5641/ 5642/ 5644 models) is no longer available anywhere so I thought I'd give this motor a try since it looks so much like the one in our cooler. Amazingly it works on our 5640 cooler so I'm guessing it will work on any of the models listed as fitting the old universal motor. It is a little louder than the old motor, but it works great and we didn't have to shell out $100+ dollars for a new cooler. Success!

This Roadpro Replacement Fan Motor for Deluxe Snackmaster RPSF-5234 Cooler/Warmer Roadpro RPSMM, was bought to replace the burnt-out motor in another type of 12 volt thermoelectric cooler an Igloo KoolMate 36. The unit's shaft was slightly shorter than the original Igloo motor's shaft but the two fan blades from the KoolMate fit easily on the RoadPro motor, and once the Igloo cooler was reassembled it worked perfectly once again. The RoadPro motor is quieter and more powerful than the original unit so the repaired cooler now actually cools faster yet seems to draw to draw less 12 volt current than it did before the fix. This is an excellent choice to return an older Igloo KoolMate 36 back to service after its original fan motor stops working.

All over the web people are saying this motor will replace the motors on the Igloo Koolmate 36 and similar units.

This is a bunch of bull! The shafts are too short and the diameter is too small. There is no way to fasten the motor the the cooler. I spent hours trying to fabricate adapters to use the original fans, but no way could I find a way to adapter the different shaft sizes and get the fans to balance. It's better to trash the old units and buy a new cooler.

Honest reviews on Roadpro Replacement Fan Motor for Deluxe Snackmaster RPSF-5234

Bought as a replacement for my Coleman cooler. It is a little noisier but it is a lot faster, so my cooler is cooler than it was before. I just hope, because it is so much faster that it still lasts as long as the old Coleman motor. It has a slightly thinner shaft and longer. I had to trim the longer end to fit the Coleman. Fill the fan shaft holes with epoxy and redrill for the thinner shaft. $26 and a little work beats $100 for a new cooler.

Addendum : It lasted from Nov. 5 to Aug. 10, a little over 9 months. I am a driver and this cooler is on 24 hrs. a day 5 days a week. The original Coleman motors lasted about 2 yrs. I just bought 2 more, hopefully by the time these wear out they'll have a better cooler.
