I'm a tea drinker and I travel frequently. I always travel with my own tea and disposable cups so I only need to seek out hot water. Most hotels (and even Starbucks at the airports) will fill your cup with hot water for free (and to my surprise, some places will actually want to charge for hot water). My challenge is wanting hot water first thing in the morning or late at night in my hotel room without wanting to get dressed and seek it out, and NOT have to rely on the in-room coffee maker (who knows how or when those things are ever cleaned and what fluids have been run through them). My first stop when I travel is to pick up a case of bottled water ($4.00 per case or $6.00 for a single bottle in the hotel room no brainer), and this kettle is sized for a 16 oz bottle of water. It is small enough to put in your carry on, and light enough not to eat up that extra valuable pound for your checked luggage. I've traveled three times so far, used it about 25 times and it is just perfect. It boils the water quick, is maintenance free, and is easy to clean. What more could you ask for? I've seen this exact looking kettle for much more around the web. On my next trip, I will add some packs of instant oatmeal for those early morning calls (and who wants to pay twenty something dollars for a $6.00 breakfast delivered to your room). I love this product and will take this everywhere with me.

I read the review of this product and thought, this is just what I want, even though the other review was so negative. Well, it showed up in delivery yesterday and it is just what I was looking for.. it's a sturdy little pot and heats the water very quickly, and there is no plastic touching the waterstainless steel body. It has a "max" line to show where the pint marker is, but there is room for another cup or so in there. I think if you boiled it with the lid off, you would be okay, but it might not turn itself off, as it does when the lid is on and you stick to the "max" line. The cord is sturdy, and it is perfect for how I am going to use it,, in my little trailer, when I want a hot beverage and don't want to light up the propane stove. It would also be good for people who want boiling water, not just hot water like you get with a microwave. In a pinch, one could boil an egg or heat up soup in this, as long as you do so without the lid, and are careful cleaning out the pot without submerging the base in water. I hope it is as sturdy as it looks. Looks quality, feels quality,, I love it!

Hi, I was looking for a small kettle to make tea in my home. The size is perfect. Would be better if the base was detachable, but I can live with that.

I have not decided if I'm going to keep it though. I did 3 "test" runs boiling water as per the instruction booket. I made sure to not fill above the "max" line. The water boils fine, but there is a strong plastic odor and taste I'm assuming from the steam condensing on the plastic cover.

No other reviewers have mentioned this issue. So either I have a defective product, or have greater sensitivity to plastic-tasting/smelling water.

I'll try some more test-runs with the cover off as other posters said the kettle works without the cover, but the auto shut-off is disabled. I can handle watching the kettle for 3 minutes. We'll see....

Update:

Did a few test runs without the cover and decided to keep the little unit. There are no other small electric Kettle options available (that are not plastic). Boiling the water with the lid removed gives the results I need hot water with no plastic taste or smell.

Honest reviews on Bonavita Bona Voyage 0.5-Liter Electric Travel Kettle

I use this kettle every day at work and it's a key part of my travel coffee making kit. The kettle has a suggested max of 500ml, but if you dont mind a wet desk and some hot fingers you could get 800ml. The spout is pretty decent and as far as I can tell the kettle only has 2 flaws. The first is the plastic lid. Plastic is a no-no in water kettles and although this isnt as bad as a full plastic model like the Bodum, it still gives the water an awful paint smell and taste. I used it a couple times and noticed that if I stay in the recommended 500ml water level, the splash is pretty minimal and boils 500ml in about 3.30 minutes without it. Without the lid a Aeropress fits right inside. The second bummer is the cord is fixed to the unit. Wish it was detachable or at the very least some kind of internal storage. Would help for packing, but more for pouring the cord can get in the way if not careful. Especially in a hotel room where there rarely is a outlet where you want it and carrying boiling water with a cord dangling around isn't fun.

This kettle was just what I wanted in terms of size. It is not easy to find an electric half-liter kettle, so I was devastatede when the kettle stopped working this morning. That's after only 3 weeks of use, boiling water in it just once daily. Do not buy this product.

Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

Aside from both boxes arriving with no damage, there isn't much else good to say about this piece. DO NOT believe anything you read about this being easy to put together. It took me over 5 hours with a power driver (I can't imagine how long it would have taken with the regular allen wrench they give you). The piece at the bottom didn't properly line up either and there's a gap that's very noticeable. Also, the screws were rusted into the screen rod and were impossible to get out without a vice and pliars and having to strip them. There were also no holes drilled for the firebox to install in the back of the unit (not that this was a big deal, but for those who don't have a power drill it would be since it mentions nowhere in the directions that you need one). Overall after it was together, it looks ok with the exception of the white bottom piece not lining up and leaving a gap. For $450, I would expect ALOT more quality craftmanship than what I got. I probably would have shipped the whole thing back for a refund, but tearing it apart again and re-packaging it just wouldn't be worth it. It's not horrible, but far from worth the amount I paid for it. If I could do it over, I'd look for other corner units.

We have a finished basement with an area that is hard to keep warm. This heater is quiet and puts out a decent amount of heat to make the area more comfortable. Pretty straightforward to use. What we like about it is that it is quiet and does not 'blow' heat around the room but radiates it. It's not noisy and is cool to the touch as described. Our kids are older so it's not an issue but for someone with younger kids, this is a good option in case a young one gets too close. Happy with the item and would recommend.

I used this tape to tidy up the installation of an Owens Corning Garage Door Insulation Kit (also sold on Amazon INSULATION GARAGE DOOR). This tape is the exact same stuff that came in the Owens Corning kit.

This is very, very sticky! It has a peel-off backing.

This is vinyl tape if you don't know what that means, think blow-up pool toys.

Made in USA.

As of July 2011, this is the same product as that sold by McMaster-Carr as item no. 77375A82 (they call it "Embossed Vinyl Insulation Tape; Highly conformable, this tape also has a pebbly, embossed surface that matches the surface of insulation. Thin yet strong, it's shrink-resistant, making it ideal for repairing insulation and water heater blankets. Tape has an acrylic adhesive. Temperature range is -25° to +260° F; apply at +10° to +100° F. Supplied on a cardboard spool.") However, I can't really say that the surface is "pebbly." McMaster also sells it in black.

Looked around for this tape locally and was astonished at the price, so checked out online and opted to go through Amazon. The tape was used for repairing the vinyl vapor barrier/insulation on our basement walls prior to our basement finishing project this summer and both the flexibility and adhesion properties are superior. The tape arrived within a couple days of order, so both the merchant and product are on top of their game.

The Lasco 5812 is a very good heater especially since it has stronger fan forced air than any other I have tried & still not loud, even stronger air flow than one costing over $90. It sends the air along the floor rather than out of the top. Moving warm air can be felt for at least 5 feet from the heater. I measured it. One serious drawback is that the thermostat even though it controls the heating of the air from a lower level of 750 watts to a high of 1500 watts, it will not cut the heater off when the thermostat setting is reached. It will only lower it to the 750 watt maintenance level. This is not a problem if the heater is located where you can turn it off yourself when the room is warm enough or the temp is too cold for it to need to shut off. Where I find a problem is in my office which is unattended for hours at a time and over night or I am away on a trip. I like to keep my computer, etc. at least 60 degrees when I am not around. Since the outside temp varies from night to day which affects the inside temp, this heater will stay on even when warm enough although it will lower to the low wattage. This means that my office could get a lot hotter than desired during the day when unattended. Because of this, I use the more expensive $90+ heater in my office even though it seems not to put out as much warm air and certainly not as strong an air flow as the Lasco 5812. The Lasco works as designed very nicely, but uses electricity even when not necessary. To be just about perfect, all it needs is a thermostat that will turn it off rather than just provide controlled high and low heat. It is great when you will be around to shut it off yourself if the temp over reaches your desired amount like in your den while watching TV. I like mine regardless. Besides, the company does not want you to leave the heater unattended for safety sake anyway...Dan

The build quality is great, but it is louder than most heaters and the thermostat will never shut off the heating element even at the lowest setting. The noise isn't outrageous, but it's definitely on the loud side compared to other forced-air heaters I've used. As for the thermostat, this probably wouldn't be a problem on a very cold night or in a large room. In my small room on a mildly chilly night, however, the heater remains on even when the dial is on the lowest setting. I was roasting. Too bad. The build quality seems really solid, and it comes with a three-year warrantee.

Great Little heater, good Build Quality, unit won't shut off when at set temp . It's just a simple good little heater. It has a thermostat control, power switch, auto shut off if tipped, and forces are from the top and hot air forced to the bottom so you can place the heater against the wall if needed

Honest reviews on Lasko 5812 Automatic Air-Flow Heater with Temperature-Regulation

I bought this space heater in October of 2008 from a vendor on Amazon.com. I'd gone back to school and was renting a basement apartment with little heat. This heater made the late autumn/early winter of Michigan's Upper Peninsula bearable, and my small room livable.

It's been going strong in Mid-Michigan, all through the night, in front of the front the door, for over two years. I place it there at night and it really mitigates the chilly air that comes off the steel door. The fact that the hot air comes out the bottom makes my cats happy and my feet, too. Now, winters here can get down to -30 deg F, and if the wind's blowing over 10-15 MPH, even colder. Late 1970's trailer homes aren't known for being well-insulated and this really helps keep the propane bill down by making the room I'm in warm and comfortable.

If I turn it past midway, the poor heater turns itself off and has to sit for about 45 minutes until I can turn it back on, but it can run through the night, 8 to 9 hours, on the lowest (750 W) setting or just slightly higher. It's blowing warm/hot air, so it's not silent, but it's a white noise so it's very easy to ignore. If you want to use the highest setting, use if for only 40-45 minutes or it will turn itself automatically. I think there's a fuse that overheats at that setting.

It has a very heavy cord, which makes it ideal if you need to step over it or tug on it inadvertently. It's not fancy, but it got me through three days of no propane during a cold spell of 10 deg F during the day and -20 deg F at night. It's been kicked, pushed over, had cats run into it, had groceries dropped on it, and it still does what I purchased it for: it keeps me warm, supplements my furnace so I'm only heating the room I'm in and not the whole trailer, and it keeps the cold drafts from my feet.

I was actually thinking of buying another one because of both its toughness and its decent cost. Well, if this one does quit working, I will most definitely replace it. It's not perfect, it's not pretty, but it does the job it's built for, and if I could, I'd give it four-and-a-half stars.

UPDATE:

This heater lasted three and a half years, giving up the ghost in January of 2013 after three power outages and two subsequent surges. I will definitely be purchasing another one. This heater was both durable and effective.

I just received this heater today. The problem is that the heat never shuts off, becuse the thermostat controls only the variation between 1500 watts and 750 watts. Even at the lowest possible thermostat setting the heat elements will never shut off. If you have a large, cold room it's fine, but if you're trying to heat a small room, such as a bathroom, or using it to supplement a heater in a larger room, the heat will keep on building and building up without control. Obviously, in a bedroom situation you would have to get up at night to manually adjust the heater--turn it off--then get up later to turn it back on. This is not a heater that can be used without constnt supervision and manual adjustment.

I called customer service to find out if this is a design flaw, or am I missing something, but have not received a call back. Rereading some of the reviews of this heater, I notice that some people mentioned this design flaw, but it was not stated vehemently enough to disuade me from buying the heater. I am bluntly stating it now; this is an enormous problem.

Beware! If you're think you're getting a standard size looking fireplace, think again. It's about the size of a small guitar amplifier. No dimensions are given of it in how it's advertised so no way of knowing in advance how big it really is. I had to laugh when I received it because it was so tiny. I would not recommend this heater to anyone, don't care how good they say it heats! I returned it the very next day I received it. To make matters even worse I'm still waiting to be refunded, it's been a month ago that I returned it. Not sure who to blame here, Amazon or Heat Surge?

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I got this for my husband because he and my son are often in the garage in the middle of winter and it can get nippy there. I admit that I had no idea what it meant that it needed a 240 volt outlet. I thought it just plugged into a regular socket but my husband informed me this needs a special receptacle, one that most people would probably not have in their garage. So be forewarned!

Luckily, despite my ignorance, we DID have a 240 volt outlet (we recently had renovation done and my husband had asked the electrician to install it) and wound up making good use of it. The thing is very warm and even though our garage is bigger than 400 sq. ft, it still kept them warm because it can swivel to point to the area where they're at. My husband likes that it has a thermostat and he's very pleased with it.

I did notice that while it runs quietly most of the time, on occasion, it will rattle. We've only recently had cold weather so I will report more once it's used more often.

I plugged it on and shut the garage door-I have a 2 and half garage size-and came back about 15 minutes later to see how warm it got. I was impressed my garage was so warm and cozy. I did not think it would warm the whole garage but I was wrong. Now I dont have to freeze my butt off this winter when I am outside.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This NewAir G70 Garage Space Heater is fairly compact (smaller than expected) but does a very good job in our, formerly, 500 sq/ft heaterless kiln room in our small shop. The Kiln room already had the correct 240v receptacles so setting this up was very straight forward using the included bracket.

As noted above our room is about 100 sq/ft larger than the 400 sq/ft rating of this heater, but it did managed to bring the room up to a comfy 65-degrees from about 45-degrees in under an hour.

The heater is generally quite and the little noise it does make is not an issue for use since it is in a work room.

This is a good choice if you have a 240v outlet!

Highly Recommended!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This heater is a lot smaller than I thought. It's just a little bigger than my PC!!! It's also lightweight. Very impressed with the size and weight. I have a two car garage and I usually exercise there. In summer time, everything is okay but during winter, it's really cold in the garage. It's still quite hot now, so I tested it early in the morning when the temperature is about 65 F. I turned it on for half an hour and about 20 mins later, the temperature was brought back to about 70 F. Quite happy with the result. Given it's small size, this one will be perfect for someone working in a garage or small warehouse.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I was very excited to obtain this for review as we actually have an additional 220 and 240 outlet in the garage and laundry room so thought this would be an easy install plus very needed item. Boy was I wrong. So, this arrived and it's much smaller than anticipated...not a bad thing per se because that makes it more manageable and easy to work with while putting out the same amount of heat. Here in Florida, we don't have horrible weather but do have several nights below freezing where the concrete floors and walls of the garage make it rather miserable.

So, right out of the box the first thing you will notice is the plug...it's not like any other plug I've seen and certainly not the same plug used for my laundry room, garage or any other 220 or 240 volt. Fair enough, this is a 230 volt. So, I look up the instruction manual to determine the right plug to purchase for a retrofit...and immediately see that the plug listed in the manual is NOT the plug on the unit. The plug in the manual is the same as that of my own units...this one isn't that plug whatsoever. The picture doesn't match. The plug doesn't match anything. Okay, so the manual isn't going to help.

I go down to the local hardware story lugging this little beauty in tow...by now I'm really glad it's no bigger than it is...only to find they don't carry that plug and haven't actually seen one like it either. At this point I'm getting a bit bent out of shape because apparently to purchase the right plug, I have to go to a specialty electric store which seems rather ridiculous for a product like this. Why put a specialty, hard to find plug on an item intended for the consumer market? In fact, why make so much extra work and effort...just use a standard plug! Even worse, if you are going to use a non-standard plug, by all means, actually note that in your own instruction manual and remain consistent.

I have the feeling that this ended up on Vine because of this exact type of inconsistency...the wrong plug for this device/market/instruction manual. Not sure if others experienced the same but plan on adding about $35 plus the time to track down the right plug should you get a unit like mine then add in the time/money to retrofit a plug etc. Additionally, this plug is apparently NOT conforming to US devices. All in all, a completely unnecessary, time consuming and costly device. Stick with a ready-made version instead.

I had a friend purchase this heater for me. I must say that it is the BEST little heater I have ever owned. The owners manual says to use 1k clear kerosene. I used the 1k clear and worked great, but I ran out of the clear I dry burned the wick and put in red kerosene. The flame is now more uniform and puts out WAY more heat than it did with the clear. I get the red kerosene from a gas station named SHELL OIL. If you get GOOD quality red the heater will exceed your expectations. Alot of people say that the wick adjusted doesn't give enough slack to back off flame to regulate the flame but my heater does. I dry burn the wick after every 4 tanks of fuel to keep wick soft and carbon free. There is only odor when first starting and shutting down the heater. But I have completely eliminated odors by buying a catalytic filter from Miles Stair Wick Shop, they are less than $10. The filter is suspended by 3 stainless steel wires that you suspend about 4 inches above the heater chimney. This convection heater is FAR better than ANY radiant heater on the market. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED WITH THIS HEATER !!!!.

I ordered this a month ago or so. It came in and I assembled it that day. I figured out how to assemble it fine... other reviewers of this product on other sites said they had a hard time assembling it, so I was pleased to get over that hurdle. I put a fresh tank of propane on it and fired it up. No issues. Seemed to work great. I test ran it for about 10 minutes to burn off the coatings that are part of the heating element, then shut it down.

On another occasion very shortly thereafter I fired it up to test it and see how effective it was at making my deck more comfortable. Overall, the product did as I thought it would. It is effective within a few feet at turning a colder evening into one that is pleasant.

This weekend I had people over and we wanted to fire it up. This wasn't a test, but rather an actual use of the product. Totally could not get it to work. Pilot will not stay lit, no matter what. When it does stay lit, it will puff out within minutes. I once got it to trigger the main burner, but then it went out. Totally frustrating. This thing is brand new!!

I used this for several months infrequently, and then found all of a sudden that it wouldn't stay lit. I did some troubleshooting and learned that it would stay lit if I held the flame from a propane fireplace starter under the thermocouple that is heated by the pilot light. I don't know if the problem is a failing thermocouple or a less than optimum heat pilot light flame; but whatever this shouldn't have happened with a heater that was still on it's first tank of gas !!!

I'll eventually find some time to contact Customer Service and see what needs to be replaced.

UPDATE: I found the time to repair this heater. I started with the assumption (thanks to the other reviewer) that the pilot light wasn't keeping the thermocouple hot enough. When I dis-assembled the pilot light assembly, I found crud in the air collection chamber. I cleaned out the crud (and just for the heck of it soaked the pilot light "bead" regulator in auto fuel injector cleaner), and now the heater works just like the day I bought it.

Because the heater is very well built and easy to disassemble and repair; I'm bumping my rating from 2 stars to 4.

The wind has ripped the shingles of my roof off but this thing has stayed in place. Love it!

Overall, the Endless Summer 233000 Outdoor Heater is a well designed and manufactured product. Assembly instructions are very clear, and with basic tools, can be assembled in about an hour. The "commercial" rating of this heater is evident in the quality of material, and the manufacturing workmanship. Follow the directions for igniting the heater, particularly when installing a new tank of propane. The heater worked perfectly for the first tank of gas, giving off a very even, comfortable circle of heat of about 12 feet in diameter. When used at a medium setting, the 20lb. propane tank lasts about 8-10 hours. When a second tank of propane was installed, a frustrating problem occurred. The heater ignited O.K. but would shut off after about a minute. Suspecting a bad tank of gas, I changed it for another tank, but got the same result. After several hours of diagnosing the problem, I discovered that there is a thermocouple near the pilot light that is heated by part of the pilot light flame. If the thermocouple does not "sense" enough heat from the pilot flame, it will shut off the heater for safety. Sure enough, the pilot flame was burning yellow, not blue, and the yellow flame is not hot enough to keep the thermocouple energized. A simple cleaning of the pilot assembly cured the problem. Some bugs decided to make the small orifice where the pilot flame emits from their home. the debris left by the bugs was enough to affect the pilot flame quality to prevent the heater from functioning. Note: since my original post of this review. I have had the same problem at least two more times, including a complete blockage of the pilot by those nasty bugs! Once cleaned using fine wire and compressed air, the heater works perfectly. Plan on ordering a second unit this year (2011) and buying some bug spray too!

This works great for warming the lotion for a baby after a bath, and is easy to use. The lotion is warm, but not hot. You will need to fill the dispenser from your normal lotion bottle and the dispenser plugs into an outlet.

Good overall. Needs more sensitive control for temperature setting. Shutoff is nice feature. Should have heavier base.

I owned the other conair lotion dispenser for a couple of years and I dropped it and it broke. So I was happy to find this newer model! It's awesome being able to adjust the temperature of the lotion and if your lotion is thick, it will thin it out and make it silky warm! Great being able to apply warm lotion on your body especially during the cold weather! (-:

The intructions don't tell you how to prime the pump. I was about to send it back when I tried using water first, then transferring the pump to the lotion. After expelling the water the lotion then flowed freely. The biggest complaint I have for this item is that it does not heat very much lotion at a time. One pump's worth, then you have to wait for the next pump to heat up. I hope this helps!!!

I recently purchased this product for the cold winter months in the North. I also had to put lots of lotion on to prevent stretch marks during my pregnancy but dreaded putting cold lotion on. This product I would definately recommend to anyone that likes to put lotion on but hates putting it on cold.

I think the fireplace looks much better in person than the in the picture. It arrived well packaged and with no cosmetic blemishes. It was assembled, minus the feet. The hardest part was getting it out of the box, but it was well protected. They included a touch-up marker. The fire looks quite good and provides a pleasant ambiance, but of course it's not going to match a real fireplace. I didn't find it to be overly noisy. It heats up immediately and outputs a significant amount of heat, but I haven't run it long enough to know if it will actually warm up a room. Overall, very pleased with the product and seller.

Nice Item, East setup. It was a little beat up but they did supply the touch up kit. I expected perfect for the price.

I just got my fireplace today and I am very happy. It was securely packaged to prevent damage on delivery. All I had to do was unpack, secure the legs and turn it on. They even included batteries for the remote control. This was a pleasant purchasing experience. :)
