I bought this heater 6 years ago this month and used it mostly in the bedroom. It's still working so well this much time later that I am considering getting a 2nd one.

I'm 78 now, and the ThermaFlo is the absolute best one I've ever had! It's quick

"hot stuff" but never too hot to touch! Readers, GO FOR IT!

This little heater really keeps my office warm — better than any floor heater I've had previously. The controls are not the easiest to deal with when you are fiddling around with something on the floor under your desk, but other than that, I'm really impressed.

The heater is well made and works. It's just not nearly as good in my opinion as other reviews make it out to be. I have a couple other 1500 watt heaters that throw out "hotter" heat than this unit. The fan is a little more powerful on this unit. I thought about returning it but have found a use for it. I also think for what this heater costs, you can buy a better and cheaper one just about anywhere.

Buy Qmark HBB1004 Electric/Hydronic Liquid-Filled Baseboard Heater

Qmark HBB1004 Electric/Hydronic Liquid-Filled Baseboard Heater - HBB Series Navajo White
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

The heater itself seems well-made and runs well and heats nicely. It's quiet and retains heat. We replaced an older hydronic unit that died, and this is working well so far.

One big advantage to this unit if you are replacing an old one is the fact that this one can be wired from either the left or right end -wherever the wire already is. This was probably the biggest selling point for this heater, as we were replacing an old Isotherm (now Cadet) that was wired on the right -the new Cadets are wired only on the left and we didn't want to have to deal with the complication.

The color is called "Navajo White" and the pictures look fairly white. In reality, the color is more of a light taupe. This was fine for our decor, but don't expect a true white or even an off-white.

When ordering, note that you must also order a thermostat -there are ones that go on the end of the unit, ones that go on the wall, and ones that go on the wall and will control several baseboard heaters in one room. If you are replacing an existing heater and don't want to either fish wires or do drywall work, be sure to get the type that goes on the end of the unit. Whatever type you get, you must install the thermostat yourself -it does not come pre-installed.

I'll preface my installation comments by saying that we are typical homeowners, not contractors or otherwise in the building trades. It was the first time my husband did a project like this, but he's reasonably handy. First off, the installation instructions that are included are hard to follow -they assume a level of expertise we didn't have. However, on the QMark (Marley) web site, if you go to Heaters/HBB Baseboard Heaters, they have a much better .pdf file with photos of all the wiring. It still isn't perfect, but it's a lot better. My husband also commented that calling the junction box "roomy" is a matter of opinion, and while he found it tight, it was sufficient.

The biggest problem is mounting the unit to the wall. You must drill through the back of the heater (the holes are not predrilled) and then screw the heater to the wall (into studs). It's hard to do this without bending the fins on the heater (it's not catastrophic, but better for heat distribution if they're not bent). As every installation is somewhat different, screws are not included -depending on your application, you may need screws, molly bolts, masonry screws or something else. Be sure to get these before starting the installation.

Also note that you'll need several wire nuts -you can get them while waiting for the shipment. You need at least two of the type for connecting 2 wires.

It took Dave about 5 hours to install the heater, from unboxing it and removing the old heater to having the new one heating the room. He used a thermostat that went right on the heater. Admittedly, his total time included just under an hour to go buy some wire nuts. If you are more experienced in this type of project, it would probably take less time.

Overall, we're happy with the heater and would buy it again.

We bought this heater for bedrooms and they are really noisy, so much so that ear plugs are required. Other than that they are a great heater. Every even heat, low profile.

I ordered this to go with my new stone firepit, and this thing is absolutely heavy-duty. It's a solid piece of steel with some heft, and it feels great when holding it. It also appears to be power-coated, so it has a nice feel and seems like it will last forever. If you're looking for a poker, this is the one.

I bought this expecting the extra vertical height to deliver the heat at a more direct level. Which it kind of does but that design is a compromise which doesn't offer a great benefit.

The design gives you the impression that the front fascia is mostly a heat output area but that's a lie. What they've done is taken a typical 1500W wide-type heating element and just stretched it vertically, so the actual area of output is through a 1 inch vertical gap between the center three fins. The lower quarter of the design is for the fan intake too so don't consider that part of the heating element.

What this means is the heat delivery is a very narrow area of effect and you have to be standing within about three or four feet to feel it on your skin. In fact the output even on high is not very hot at all. On the plus side it means the casing remains cool to the touch on all sides, in fact you could actually put your hand over the opening and leave it there. A hair dryer has a hotter output and at high speed this unit sounds about the same as a hair dryer so it needs to be at a distance. Low speed is more tolerable.

The remote is useful in that it has an LCD feedback display for temperature and fan setting but is very cheaply made with loose, cheap feeling buttons. The main unit fares better but it is not one of Lasko's better quality products.

If you want to slowly heat a small room then this would probably work, but for medium to large rooms the output will not provide instant heat and be in constant use trying to automatically maintain your set temperature.

I have a smaller Lasko heater, but I needed a bigger one to heat my 670SF work space. It works great. Really gets the place comfortable. The price is affordable, too.

I works pretty well. My furnace went out one morning and this kept my living/kitchen room at 58-60F. It is nice thats its taller than most space heaters incase you were in bed or on a couch.

Honest reviews on Lasko 5588 Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote

Having purchased a Lasco fan which works very well and has a relatively small footprint, I definitely turned to Lasko when I was looking for a heater. The 5588 fit the bill. I have not experienced any problems, EXCEPT that when my printer (in the office where I was using the heater) began to print, the electricity went out. I had to get a new line for my office to prevent this from happening again. Now it works well! I imagine that my experience is similar to others who have purchased a heater (Lasko or another brand). It is well to be warned so you are prepared if this happens to you. Getting a new line installed cost me almost $300.00, but, in the end, it was worth it.

This is the best tower heater ive ever used. Love that the remote has a small lcd display. Heats up my bedroom quick. Love the automatic temp thing, turns off when it gets to the temp and then keeps checking it every once in a while to see if its still the same temp. Only dislike is the bright blue lights on the top, just a little too bright for sleeping.

Electric Beverage Warmer Kitchen Gourmet Review

Electric Beverage Warmer Kitchen Gourmet
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

I was surprised to find that this warmer is essentially identical to the warmer offered for sale by Mr. Coffee, at a much greater cost. I am unimpressed with the Mr. Coffee warmer, and this one, as they fail to keep a mug of coffee hotter than luke warm, especially when the mug is more than half full. If someone can point out a decent mug warmer, I would be grateful. Incidentally, these warmers should never be used as coasters as any water on the warming surface will find its way into the electric element and destroy the warmer this is yet another reason not to buy this warmer.

I bought this product to replace another warmer I had unfortunately broken. This one barely keeps the mug (and the tea inside) warm enough. I would have preferred a higher temperature. Oh well.

Pros:

~Fairly realistic flames

~For those of you in hot climates who still want to have the calming effects of a fire, you can leave the "flame" on without having the heat on

~"Flame" height can be adjusted high or low

~Temperature can be adjusted

~Feels oh-so-nice when I get in from being out in the freezing Colorado weather I can switch it on, stand in front of it, and get that warm-clothes-from-the-dryer feeling

~Compact, but not so small as to seem Mickey Mousey

~Lightweight easily moveable to other areas of the house

~Quiet the fan is barely audible

~The unit (on the sides, top, and back) does not heat up can touch without getting burned

~Functional door on the front opens up to reveal control panel, or you can control it with the included remote

~Setup was fast my husband had it done in about 5 minutes

Cons:

~We have about a 15' x 15' living area. It is fairly open (no walls between the kitchen & dining room, so adding approximately another 25' x 15' with those two areas), and so the heater doesn't really "warm up" the room. Which is understandable since the space is as open as it is. It does, however, take that little chill out of the air. The furnace kicks on about half as often as before.

~The cord is pretty short I'd estimate probably about 3 feet so you have to either keep it close to the plug in or get an extension cord.

~Remote doesn't work from too far away, and must be basically right in front of the unit to make it work

~If you're really cold (as I am when I come in from being out in the -4 degree air)you have to stand / sit within 3 feet of it or it won't get you warmed up.

Even with the "cons", I LOVE this little heater. It's been really nice to have to take that chill out of the house and to stand next to when coming in out of the cold!

I got this to heat the end of my hallway and the rooms adjacent to it. Instead of plopping down an ugly old space heater I decided to get this. It's a beautiful decoration and it heats very well the hallway and the rooms near it stay nice and warm, just what I needed! The flame isn't THAT realistic but it's probably the best looking flame in an electric stove. The Dimplex flames look more realistic but the fire looks like it's nearly dead, this one looks like it's roaring and alive.

I got my stove just as the wether started changing. I took it out of the box and it was pumping heat right away, I had many compliments on it and it added the perfect mood to my living room. Until about two weeks after it came, that is when it started making this loud whining noise. I thought it was the heater part but after removing the back I found it was the motor that rotated the flame effect. I just disconnected the motor. I am going to contact Duraflame and see what they are going to do. Bottom line is it's a great stove that puts out lots of heat but it shouldn't start breaking after two weeks of use.

Honest reviews on Duraflame Large Stove Heater, Black, DFS-750-1

We bought this little stove in November because we were about to go through another winter with $700+ monthly heating oil bills. In the first month, it paid for itself. Our oil bill was about $350, and the heater, which ran nearly 24/7, hiked our electric bill by $60. It's been paying for itself over and over again every month. We have it in our living room, which is about 18' X 25'. The ceilings are low, and I'm sure that makes it more efficient. We get enough heat to be comfortable there, and in the adjoining kitchen. In the coldest months, our oil bill remained steady, and the electric bill rose by $90 one month, and $70 another month. Last year I paid in oil alone over $2000. The difference was so noticeable, our oil delivery man asked us what we were doing different.

The exterior does not pose a hazard to our animals, since it doesn't heat up.

The fake flame is nice. At Christmas, I hung little baby stockings on the stove. Now that spring is near, we will probably keep the "flame" running. It looks cozy.

This week, we found the fan and heating element were not working, but, in my father's words, "When in doubt, follow directions." We read the booklet and found that charge can build up in the elements. The solution? Just unplug it from the wall for a few hours. The booklet also gives you information on how to get replacement parts, if ever needed.

But at the rate it is saving us money, even if we had to replace it, we would still be ahead of the heating cost game.

I purchased this, after I saw one at a friends house, not this particular one, but really like mine better.

It a little larger, which I like and seems to really do the job. I was on a shoping network reading and

hearing about duraflame, and your price was so much better! It looks nice, I live in senior housing apt. and

I really am happy with it, have it on for the effect sometimes when heat is not needed. Great purchase.
