I do wood working a unheated attached garage 20'x24', this item works fine for my 2 car garage, heats up quickly to take chill off. The control knob is located on the rear of the unit, if was located in front would be easier to adjust and see the heat # setting but is only a minor item. The Small size and cord wrapping around handle makes storage easy. I live in western Washington so the winter temp is fairly mild, cooler climate is a question. 5 star if knob on front

I purchased a square heater from kero-world and the wick that was installed worked fine, but this replacement was hard to install and smoked very bad. I tried several wicks and had the same results. I was told to purchase a larger round heater that takes wicks with pins and had no problems. I dont know why these wicks would not work???

Review of Twin, Heated Mattress Pad by Electrowarmth, Non-Fitted, Size 36 x

Customer Ratings:

This item works well. However do not try to compare it to Electrical blankets you are used to using at home. It takes a while to heat up the mattress, and I have found it takes far too long for my mattress to cool back down after I turn it down, or off. The coldest I have used it so far is in 45 degree conditions, and I left it on a setting of one and used 1 fairly thick blanket over a very thin blanket, over the sheet. Mostly I use it to preheat the bed then turn it off, or to it's lowest setting.

I have it under a comforter under my bedsheet and cannot feel it, or the wires, or the safety pins you must use to pin it to the mattress. But there is no doubt it is on when you crawl into a toasty bed. Turn it on at least 30 minutes beforehand.

The claimed 4 amp draw and the 5 amp fuse must be applicable only to the single model. I have the twin and it draws 6.2 amps. It cycles on and off frequently but silently, and the temperature dial is also the thermostat, so keeping it outside the covers will allow it to run more often( warm the mattress more) than if is is under the covers.

The dial is numbered 1 through 7. It actually turns on at well below one on the dial. The Ciggy plug is one of the best designs out there. It fits snugly and does not warm up significantly. My Laptop can draw similar amperage through a ciggy plug, and it has partially melted the supplied ciggy plug.

In my experience it will use a minimum of 1.5 amp hours per hour on the lowest setting. Keep in mind that alternator does okay at replenishing a battery that is below 80%, but will take forever to bring it from 80% to 100%. Using this product night after night without adequate driving or other charging source in between will abuse your battery, and eventually leave you needing a jumpstart, and after a few jumpstarts, a new battery. Do not believe that your 140 amp HD alternator can replenish a battery in under an hour. Batteries cannot accept those currents for very long(under a minute), if at all, and the OEM wiring cannot transmit it even if the alternator could produce it in the engine compartment, rather than a Laboratory

Also a Marine/ dual purpose battery should be used as opposed to a starting battery. Starting batteries cannot handle deeper discharges and will self destruct prematurely. True Deep Cycle batteries are best for powering this heating pad, but 12 volt true deep cycle batteries are not that easy to find, and about 30% more expensive than regular starting or Marine batteries.

We spend 6 months of the year on our boat. Getting into bed at night we noticed that the bedding was more humid than we liked, not damp, just more moisture than we like. We also had occasional mildew on the walls. Somewhat skeptically, I ordered the heated mattress pad to try it out and since it did plug into 12v.

Wow! What a difference getting into bed at night. The bunk is nice and comfy and all traces of moisture in the bedding is gone and as a plus, we have not seen the reappearance of mildew on the walls. So far we haven't seen the need to leave it on all night but we could with the modest current draw. This is one great product to have on a boat! It's my wife's favorite addition over the last 12 months.

Honest reviews on Twin, Heated Mattress Pad by Electrowarmth, Non-Fitted, Size 36 x

The mattress pad was bought as gift for someone sick and when finally opened to use, it wasn't new but old and stained and ugly. Because a gift, the 30d return passed, and when vendor was notified, they asked for it to be returned, which I did promptly. After receiving the return she said it had been too long and a refund or exchange could not be honored. So I bought a gift that was embarrassingly used and stained when opened, then paid for the return to vendor and lost not only the original purchase cost but the return shipping too. So, was it sent out used to someone else? Bad experience all around. Worst response ever had with internet order.

just turn it on and cover it up for 30 min before use. Reduce to minimum when the engine is off. It will eat up your battery in 3 hours anyway. I use it in my semi truck (it has 4 big sections of batteries).

Review of Warmrails Wonderbar Hanging Towel Warmer, Chrome Finish

It works as it says. We love it! After reading reviews we learned to roll towels onto the bars like tp & drape one over top to keep it warm. Keep it on 24/7 and it cuts down on laundry.

Honest reviews on Warmrails Wonderbar Hanging Towel Warmer, Chrome Finish

I've had this in for 7 months now and it works fine, I leave it on all winter and hang the towels on it after a shower and it keeps the towels dry. If your looking to have a warm towel after a shower this WILL NOT do it! If you want towels to dry faster and not get a mildew smell and be just a little warm this will do it. the bar gets hot and stays hot as long as it's plugged in, I would guess 140 degrees but not sure, and if I remember right it's about 80 watts so not a lot of electricity. Construction and manufacturing seems good, bar is strong and well chrome plated, cord is heavy and seems like it will last, the plastic clips on the top that hold it to your towel bar I'm not so happy with, they haven't broken and work fine but seem a little light duty or chincy compared to the rest of it.

Unit looks nice. I liked the attachment hangers. But if fails on so many other levels. It doesn't really warm the towels.Also the product card states that you plug it in and turn it on, and the indicitator light will be lit.

No switch or indicator light. Just plugs in and it is on, but that is known only because you can feel the bar getting hot at the top.

Not recommended by me.

Reviews of Bissell 9300-P ProHeat 2x Turbo Carpet Deep Cleaner

Customer Ratings:

My old Hoover steam cleaner just quit working so I decided to buy a new one. I looked at Hoover reviews and Bissell reviews. In the past I had one of those old Bissell cleaners that hooked up to the sink, lots of cables, cords, etc. Cleaned great but what a nightmare. Anyway, I was ready to get another Hoover because I read

bad reviews of the Bissell, but there were also good reviews so I took a chance. I LOVE this machine. The two in one (bladder and dirty water) worked great. I didn't have to lug around two separate containers like in the Hoover. It worked fine. The dirty water did not contaminate the clean. I also like the fact that it heats the

water another 25 degrees. The Hoover water got cold pretty quick. The Hoover had rotating round brushes. I

never liked that. I felt it just pushed the dirt around on the floor and didn't pick it up. The Bissell has the roller rotating brushes and boy does it pick up the dirt and also grooms the carpet. It looks new. There were chunks

of dog hair and rug fiber around the floor. I didn't mind picking it up since I knew that hair was no longer in the carpet. I guess my vacuum cleaner needs to be updated too. I vacuum almost every day because of our

dog but obviously lots of fur was still in the rug. The Hoover never picked it up like that. Yes, I have only

used it once but I have a feeliing this will be a long relationship. Oh yes, you can really get the whole thing clean. I could never get the fibers and hair from under the cap of the Hoover (area where dirty water is sucked up). With the Bissell I could take it all apart and wash everything! I am sold.

I've had six carpet cleaners over the past twenty years and frankly I'm always a little shocked when I meet people who don't have one. With really good carpet cleaners available for two hundred or less, its a no-brainer. You'll save money on professional cleaning and keep the carpet looking good for longer before replacement. Of course the real benefit is that you don't have to walk on disgusting carpets.

My last cleaner was also a Bissell upright of similar design and I was pleased with the results it gave and its durability. I think we had it for seven years until it finally gave up the ghost. The 9300 kept all the best ideas from this earlier model and fixed most if not all of its defects. Built-in water heater? Check. Fresh and gray water in the same tank? Check. Vacuum cleaner-style rotating brushes? Check. Upright design with tools on board? Check.

What's better is more brushes. I've read some reviews that appeared to be written out of ignorance about what's important in a cleaning system. Detergent with water is essentially a solvent, and solvents work best with soak-time. Fill a sink with cold, soapy water, dump your dishes in and go away for a few hours. When you come back, you can generally just rinse them off--the solvent has done its job, but it takes time. You can reduce that time with heat. Do the same thing with very hot water, and the dishes will be rinseable within 20-30 minutes. You can further reduce that time with mechanical action--rub your pots, pans and dishes with a sponge and they are clean in seconds. These are the things you need to look for in a carpet cleaner.

1. Detergent delivery and removal. The 9300 does a great job at this. The detergent tank is easily visible at the back of the power head and four settings allow you to control the mix--more detergent for heavily soiled areas, to none at all for rinsing. The design of the vacuum uptake is very similar to the older models, and works very well by being in position buried in the carpet pile. What's really improved is the fact that its now part of the tank cover, easily removed and rinsed. Its not just a clean-freak thing--keeping this tool clean insures consistent performance every time you use the machine. It was a real chore to clean the old one properly, and on a couple of occasions I had to disassemble it.

2. Heat and brushes. This is a big deal--far more important that a powerful vacuum motor in my opinion. The water is twenty or so degrees short of boiling and the 9300 has 12--count 'em, twelve rotating brushes! I was amazed how much better the 9300 was over the older model I had in getting the carpet clean in just a pass or two. I figure that I cut a third off the time it used to take me to clean all the broadloom. It might be as much as a 50% reduction, but I'm still in the rhythm of older machine so I tend to go over a section more than I probably have to.

Other aspects of the 9300 design are more subtle, but make for a much better experience. The tool holder is a huge improvement, and the package I got had a lot more tools, but what I really noticed was the handling--yeah, the 'handling'. I suspect its the brushes, the unit just glides so much easier than the previous model I had. Cleaning the carpet has always been my job because the equipment was always so bulky and the effort required just a tad too robust for my sub-five foot spouse. Its still a beast compared to some of the ultra-light-weigh vacuum cleaners out on the market, but its a tame beast. An average sized woman shouldn't have any problem handling it. Speaking of handles, there's a new one about half way up the machine that's a head-smacker idea (as in, why didn't they think of this before?) I've got two levels, and taking the old model up the stairs could put your back out if you weren't careful. Now I just grab the middle handle and its a breeze.

Everything is better. I was so impressed I wrote a review on Amazon--who does that?

Some caveats. My main complaint about Bissell over the years is that their units are too lightly built. I take care of my tools, but I've broken something on every Bissell I've ever had. The 9300 is better, but still a bit delicate in parts. Its not a flaw, its a compromise--a necessity for a tool that benefits enormously from lighter weight. Don't throw this unit around--treat it like a good camera. Clean it thoroughly and store the tools properly before putting it away. If you take care of it, there should be no reason you won't still be cleaning carpets with it in five to ten years.

The Bissell ProHeat 2x works like a champ. It removed tons of dirt and grime as well as loose carpet fibers. The added scotchgaurd in the carpet cleaning formula also ensures months of stain free living. My only con would be that there isn't an indicator for the water/cleaner level.

Honest reviews on Bissell 9300-P ProHeat 2x Turbo Carpet Deep Cleaner

We had ours for almost two and a half years. It worked really great until a few months ago. It just seems it has lost its suction and is leaving more and more water in the carpet, which also means, leaving more and more dirt. However, I figure the cost of it is basically one commercial cleaning. We have animals and it has saved us several hundreds of dollars over the two years it worked good, not to mention, just keeping the carpets and furniture looking and smelling cleaner. I am going to go out and buy another one. I don't think you can beat this machine for its cost and ease of use.

ChiliPad Bed Temperature Control System Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I've owned one of these for about a year. The big selling point is of course the cooling feature, since warming a bed with an electric blanket would be far cheaper. If it lasts for a couple of years, it will probably pay for itself since air conditioning is far less effective than having cool water circulating below you. For that reason, this may be considered a "green" product, since it takes more energy to cool a houseful of air than to cool the two cups of water running through this.

Pros: Energy savings, two sides of the bed can be different temperatures, built-in timer can turn it off before you freeze at 3 am, more comfortable than an electric fan, remote control.

So-so: It's about as loud as a box fan at medium speed. I actually like falling asleep to such a sound, others may not. Maybe keeping it under the bed would muffle it some.

Cons: Pretty darned expensive.

I actually found out about this product from one of the social news sites, it might have been digg. I was a bit scared to buy it since there were few reviews, but I took the plunge and it has been a great purchase. A cool bed in the summer is something I've missed since giving up my old waterbed 20 years ago.

What I don't understand is why this isn't a top-seller... it's such a simple concept.

Pros: Warms quickly and well, fits on the bed nicely, easy to clean

Cons: Clicks all night long, display is really bright in the room, does not cool adequately, remotes drain batteries quickly, does not easily fit under bed, poor customer service

My husband purchased the Chilipad for me 6 months ago. For medical reasons, my husband needs a humidifier in the bedroom which makes me very warm. We thought a cooling mat would be perfect and allow us to sleep comfortably in the same room. Upon unpacking it, we noticed that the display on one of the units had a black spot on it that made the display difficult to read. We went ahead and set up the unit to see how effective the pad is. We could easily feel it quickly warm up, but the cooling was less noticable. I thought that maybe once I was under covers and sleeping it would be more noticable. It wasn't. I had the temp set to 68 all night and was still warm. It was the same night after night. On top of that, my remote would go through a set of batteries every week even though I rarely changed the temperature. I used it mainly to turn the unit on and off. Add that to the fact that the unit does not slide easily out from under the bed, and I couldn't see what temp the unit was set to anyway because of the big, black spot on the display, and it became worthless.

At the time, the website for Chili Technology said that there was a 90 satisfaction guarantee, but did not say that you had to purchase from their website for it to be applicable. Since the Brookstone price was slightly cheaper, we purchased from them. After we decided the product did not satify our needs, we were told that the guarantee only applied if we purchased from the Chili Technology website something that is NOW advertised on there.

We were then promised that the company would call us back in 3 months and offer an exchange for the newer units which cool down to 46 degrees. It's been 6 months, the unit is advertised on their website and still no call.

The pad had been on our bed unused all summer, but now that it's cooling down outside, my husband wanted to use the warming feature. His remote drained the batteries in a week as well. So once again it will sit unused. Only because my heart can't take the idea of throwing away a $1000 piece of junk.

If you want heat, buy an electric mattress pad. It's cheaper, doesn't click all night long, doesn't need to be refilled with water, and doesn't need new batteries in the remote every week.

UPDATE: Still no call a year after purchase from customer service. I was using this with the sleep timer to warm my bed over the winter. I went to turn it on last night and my unit will not work. The power light is on, but pressing buttons on the unit or using a remote with fresh batteries does nothing. If I could move this to a one star review I would. It is now a completely worthless device.

Best Deals for ChiliPad Bed Temperature Control System

While, I have LOVED the product, I must also warn you that their customer service seems really nice and helpful and like they are going to cover your problems, until you actually go to make a claim, then it is a different story. $90 per unit to take a look at it. I reported that the screen light was flickering and I was assured that the note was made and they would "take care of it" NOW, I am told that the person that made those promises has left the company and they have NEW POLICIES. I am very angry that they are not honoring a promise that I have in writing, just because their employee is no longer there. That seems like poor business to me. I have 2 of their chilipads.

6 months later, I still have gotten NO customer service with the problem. That is really silly since they have such a great product. I am disappointed in what otherwise would be a stellar experience.

THIS IS WHAT I WROTE 3 YEARS AGO--I just purchased the Chilipad so these are initial reactions. I read all the reviews and found them mixed. Either loved or hated and a waste of money. I called the company directly and the customer service rep assured me that they honor the 90 day money back guarantee. So I ordered. It took over three weeks to get, but I think it was worth it. The first night I found it loud, bright and did not fit under the bed. It made the room HOT. It is the first time I had ever gotten up in the night and found a HUGE difference in temp between the bedroom and the hall. I would say at least 6-8 degrees. So the pumps throw off a lot of heat. Deciding that between that and the brightness of the panel lighting up the room to much, we had to alter the application. Our bed is on a wall that has a closet to the dressing room on the other side. We drilled two holes (KING has dual pumps) through the wall and placed the pump on the other side of the wall in this closet. The tubes were long enough to comfortably reach the pumps. WALLA, the problems solved. The remotes work through the wall, no more heating up the bedroom, no bright lights, and no noise. I found that my side cools so well that I can't set it on the lowest number 46 degrees. We had adjusted the thermostat in the house to 76 degrees (our daytime temperature) when we usually had to lower it at night to 70-72 to be comfortable. I was SHOCKED when I woke up too cold, when I had full covers on. I HAVE BEEN SO HOT THE LAST FEW YEARS I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I AM TO HAVE A COOL BED. I LOVE A COOL BED. Previously, I was waking up trying to find a cool spot. Not an easy task when you have a partner in the bed. I am happy we were creative enough to solve the problems and now have the perfect solution to being cool in the night. Also, warm without an electric blanket in the winter will be a plus for my husband. (I'm not cold in the winter) I don't like the idea of the electric fields in an electric blanket around me either. THANK YOU CHILIPAD FOR THE BEST SOLUTION TO A HOT BED. I am your biggest fan so far. The three year warranty gives me peace of mind. We spent $600, so $200 a year to be cool at night is a real bargain. If it lasts longer, even better. Give it a try, confirm the 90 day warranty and buy directly from the company. I think they will honor their return policy if you don't like it.

UP DATE

Nothing but cool nights and great sleep for me baby.....since I made the modifications, I can't tell you how much i love it. It works beautifully. I had to turn it up to about 62 because I was actually too cold in a room that is 76 degrees. UNHEARD OF!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Now, if it gives me 5 wonderful years, I will be extraordinarily satisfied with my purchase.

Honest reviews on ChiliPad Bed Temperature Control System

I bought this to put on top of my tempurpedic mattress. The foam mattress gets very hot even during the winter! Instead of turning on the AC, this pad helps cool the mattress enough to get a great night sleep. The remote is very basic but works well.

Pros Keeps you cool (or warm if you turn temp up)/ Not much maintenance required / Low energy use (compared to AC)

Cons Noise (sounds like small fan but does not bother me) / Bright light under bed (can probably cover with electrical tape but I have not done so)

I am rating this product as 4 stars because it really has helped me enjoy my tempurpedic bed to the max. I love the bed but was going to return it due to the heat it generated. With the chilipad, the combo is perfect, allowing me to enjoy the comfortable foam mattress without the heat issue. I would have rated it 5 stars but I did have some trouble with defective units. I went through 2 or 3 replacement units (not the pad but the motor that runs the water). The Company's rep was extremely nice and accommodating and paid for all costs related to the replacements. While it was a hassle to replace units, the service was great from the Company and thus overall I rate this 4 stars. The unit itself I would rate 5 stars!

I've had this product since Nov. '09 and like to share some thoughts about it. I am an owner of the Single zone Queen version of the chilipad. The technology that I think the chilipad uses for cooling is thermoelectric cooling. It is useful in that it doesn't require refrigerants and is quiet but the downside is that it doesn't cool as fast as a system that uses refrigerants. The cooling is also limited by the surrounding ambient temperature because the cooling temperature can only drop so much based on the surrounding temperature.

The following is based on my observation. My home setup for the chilipad is that the room temperature is at a constant 78F degrees and the floor is hardwood. The chilipad's cooling pad sits between my mattress and the bed sheet with my lite (summer) down comforter on top. The position of the chilipad machine is next to my bed about a foot away from the bed with good clearance from all sides. Based on that setup, once I turned on the chilipad, the temperature displayed on the chilipad starts off at 87F and rapidly drops down to about 71 degrees in about 15 mins. The temperature reading displayed I believe is based the water temperature inside the chilipad device and NOT the bed temperature underneath the comforter. Once the temperature drop to about 68F, the speed of the drop in temperature reduces. At 1 hour, the display shows 61F and has hold steady at 60F after 1.5 hours. From room temperature, it's safe to say that the chilipad would cool down to about 18F from room temperature. The claim that it can cool down to 48F probably would be possible if the room temperature was 66F or colder. Personally, I am comfortable setting the temperature at 65F so it works for me.

The display back lighting is bright when it is on but it would be nice if they gave an option of turn it off or for the display light to turn off after 30 seconds. Since the system is expelling the warm air into to the room, it would increase the room temperature but not to uncomfortable level. I would leave the bedroom door open to help ventilate if it was a problem.

The chilipad did break once so I emailed the company and had a new replacement sent to me and returned the broken one to the company with no problems. Response time was fast. My opinion of their customer service so far is great.

I have central air, but my bedroom upstairs is usually 5-10 degrees warmer than the other bedrooms (vaulted ceiling). This product works perfectly even though the room is much larger than 250sq ft. This portable AC only costs 50 cents a day to run, considerably less than running the central air. It's quieter than I expected and the air is very cold. The only thing I don't like is the instruction manual just not enough info. The exhaust hose must be mounted properly to the outside through a window. All portable AC units create a vacuum in the room and if the exhaust hose is not practically air tight, more warm air from outside will come in than cold air blowing out. I have had it for a week now and it has yet to need the water reservoir emptied.

This item is not worth it. It takes hours to cool down my 100 sq ft room. I have a 5,000 btu window unit that kicks butt compared to this one. Also, not convenient at all. You need to place a drip pan underneath to catch the water and it only allows a 1" space at the base. I had to build a 4" platform to lift the unit high enough to sit a basin at the bottom to catch all the drip without having to empty it every 1 1/2 hours.

Honest reviews on SPT WA-9020E 9,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control

This 9000BTU AC is supposed to cool a 250 square foot room, so I thought it'd be more than enough for my 190 square foot bedroom. When I turned it on, I was sure it would make things cool pretty quickly, because it was very loud. . . my wife and I called it the "jet engine" during the brief time before we sent it back. Instead it was only able to cool the room by about 3-4 degrees, even when I let it run all night. I tried it for three nights before returning it, and one morning when I woke up, it was actually cooler outside the house than it was in the bedroom where the AC had been running full blast for about 12 hours. Pathetic!

I replaced this unit with a 6000 BTU window unit by Frigidaire. Even though the Frigidaire is only 2/3 the BTU rating, it makes less than half as much noise and was able to cool my fairly small bedroom from 100+ and humid (we're in the middle of a major heat wave in the Northeast right now) to about 72 degrees in about 90 minutes. Needless to say, the 6000BTU replacement will cost a lot less to run as well. . .

Also, I know some people don't care about this kind of thing, but this Sunpentown AC is just incredibly ugly. From the photo I wasn't really sure if it would look cool and futuristic in person or clunky and overbuilt. Guess what. . . it's the latter! It just looks junky and designed by a twelve-year-old who was trying to draw a Camaro instead of a piece of furniture that's supposed to look fairly decent in your house. Most appallingly, and although it doesn't look so bad in the small photo online, that beige insert for the louvers looks like it came from some twenty-year-old piece of office equipment (remember when everything was the same hideous beige?) and it's totally out of place with the silver/gray plastic used everywhere else.

I had a portable AC by Maytag that lasted about 7 years and worked very well, but this Sunpentown I bought to replace it is a terrible failure in all respects: ugly, the loudest air conditioner I've heard since I was a kid in the 1980s, and it doesn't cool worth a damn.

The only nice thing about the entire experience is that I bought it from Amazon, so it was incredibly easy to return! Thanks, Amazon, for being so freaking awesome. . .

In April 2011, I purchased a Sunpentown (SPT) air conditioner for $450. I ended up not using it last summer and stored it, unopened in its box, until a month ago. Right out of the box, it didn't work. After trading emails with a customer service representative James who after 3 rounds of email told me that it doesn't matter that the product was defective out of the box. I asked to speak with a manager and received a call from Mike, who told me that the product is out of warranty so there is nothing they can do, that it's not worth repairing a window unit and that I should either "junk it or sell it for scraps." I asked him if Sunpentown really has no problem manufacturing and selling such shoddy products and he said "It's been a year lady. Nothing I can do." Sunpentown makes bad products that don't work. Sunpentown is unwilling to stand by its products. My recommendation is for you to save your money and purchase another product, one made by a company who has integrity.

Hi, My name is Eric. I have thought about getting one of these infrared heaters for the past couple months now. I live in Southern Indiana, in a well insulated bedford stone home. We have right at 1000 sq. feet. Our main source of heating is an electric heat pump, with baseboard heating as a supplement. I am a Realtor, so I see a lot of homes and I thought if this heater would work for a home it would be mine, because of the size and the great amount of insulation I have. For people that don't know, Bedford stone homes are very solid, and in most cases well insulated. I did my research on these infrared heaters. I have probably read through hundreds of reviews trying to find the best heater. What I found out was that for every heater out there your probably going to find a few bad reviews. People have to understand that every home is different and what works for some might not work for others. Main things you have to take in to consideration is the amount of insulation, celing heights, and amount of sq. feet you are trying to heat. Instead of me telling you all the different sites out there that I went to, I'm just gonna tell you what I found out. Even the more expensive brands like Comfort furnace and Eden pure, who sell over $300. dollars have some very bad reviews. My office has an Eden pure and it heats my particular office which is 15 x 13 with an 8 foot celing and on the second level. It will not heat the entire upstairs, which includes a hallway and three other offices.(less that 1000 sq. feet. I think this brand is way over priced. I came across the Duraflame Quartz heater. I liked how simple it seemed. No high, medium, or low. Just turn it on and set your degrees. Plus it came in at $212. So I went with this one. I ordered it on a thursday night and it came the next friday.(which was 3 days ago. 12/16/11.) I unboxed the heater and it looked great. Big in size but very impressive. I plugged it in and only smelled the burnt plastic smell for 10 minutes. Which every infrared heater on the market will tell you that you might smell this smell with the first few uses. With the first two nights of use, the temps. got into the high 20's. I set my home thermostat to 66 degrees. I set my thermostat on the heater to 74 degrees. My heat pump has not kicked on one time since I turned the heater on. The home thermostat has not dropped below 70 degrees. This unit has absolutely amazed me so far. Every inch of my home is warm. The g/f and I love this heater. I am not too worried about when temps get in the teens and even colder because I can turn this infrared heater up another 15 degrees or so. The unit gets the home to a set temp and then shuts its self off untill it drops a couple degrees below the set temp. I definitely recommend this heater. I could not be more happy with my purchase. As far as energy savings, I can't say yet. But I know it takes less energy to run this heater than it does my heat pump. So I'm sure I will be satisfied when the bill arrives. THIS HEATER IS WONDERFUL.

What a beautiful quartz heater. It is like a piece of furniture. We live in an old farmhouse in Northeast PA. Lots of drafts in the kitchen where we placed this unit. We used to have to eat in the dining room during the cold winter months but are now able to sit at the kitchen table, thanks to this heater. The cord and wheels allow you to aim it at the sink or stove or anywhere you are working. With the price of heating oil over $3.10/gallon, this has helped to keep the kitchen warm. Thanks!!

I live in Ohio in a small wood frame country home. My main source of heat in the winter is a forced air propane furnace. Propane is very expensive and I bought this Duraflame heater to help keep my heating bill down. It is in my livingroom which is about 14' x 18' with 9' ceiling. The heater is a beautiful peice of furniture. Very attractive wood, and it is quite heavy, which I think is always a sign of quality construction. I have to admit that this unit has kept my furnace from running so far, however, we haven't had any really cold weather yet. BUT, we have had a couple cold nights in the 30's and the heater couldn't keep up. I have a feeling that when the weather turns really cold this heater isn't going to do much good. It seems to be great for cool weather but not for the really cold stuff.

The thermostat on my unit is absolutely useless. The thermostat setting displayed on the unit dosen't seem to have anything to do with the real world. You have to find a setting that is close to what you want and don't pay any attention to the digital display. It is a very quiet unit, which is nice. Overall I think if you live in an area with a mild climate, this is a nice unit and worth the money. However if you live in an area where winters are really cold, you will need something more powerful. There is no way this unit will heat a 1000' sq. ft. area as advertised unless the ceiling is only about 6" high.

Honest reviews on Duraflame Livingston Portable Heater, 10HM2273-W505

The unit looks very nice and it sure is great to stay in bed at night and use the remote to turn the unit up. The remote and controls are very user friendly. However, as the night temperatures have dropped down into the mid-twenties, and it is only October, the unit is not able to come up to even 63 or 64 degrees after 3 am until around 8 am, when as the sun comes up, the unit begins to heat up to 64 or above. It is located in a 10 X 12 foot room with average ceiling. No way could it heat any area larger. Be forewarned, if needing this unit for anything larger and any higher temperature, it can not do the job.

I dread to think what this unit won't be able to perform as winter progresses; last winter we had a low of minus 27 degrees; I will definitely need an additional heating source in this room then.

This unit is very handsome looking and the cabinet is surprisingly high quality. You can use this as a piece of furniture next to say a couch or chair. The BTU rating is claimed to be over 5000 BTU. I'm not sure if this is accurate. I am using it in a 750 Sq. Ft room and it has trouble warming it. Mind you, I have tall ceilings so it may be the room design but I'm just not sure if it is actually reasonable to rate it at 5200 BTU. The air flow from the unit seems to be mild. But overall it's a nice looking unit and it does emit warm air and it's not very loud. Just make sure you are using it in a small room with good insulation or you may be disappointed.

This is a great heater! We use it to heat the living area of our RV. The living area is approximately 26' x 10' with normal height ceilings. We've tried a few different compact room heaters, but they were too small to heat the area and also way too noisy. We've had the heater about 4 months now. Since we are staying in cooler climates, we've used it almost every night (overnight).

The best features about this heater are:

It's QUIET!!!

Really!! We have tried many heaters in our RV and house over the years and they tend to be so noisy. The model we tried before purchasing the Lasko was so noisy we had to crank the tv volume up to hear over it. This Lasko seems to be about as quiet as a fan could be.

It has an automatic thermostat you can set.

This model has a high/low and auto setting. The high/low settings are not thermostat controlled. You simply choose hotter or less hot air. :) The auto setting allows you to set the thermostat to the temperature you desire. It seems reasonably "accurate". That is, the temperature it displays is within 3-4 degrees of the other thermometers I have around the room. Once you set the thermostat, the heater cycles on/off, just like you would expect. This is a great way to keep the room at your target temperature. We use this mode every night.

It oscillates.

This sounds like a silly feature to list, but it makes a big difference in heating up a room. The previous heaters we've had did not oscillate. Therefore, the area directly in front of the heater was warmed, but the rest of the room was not. The oscillation really helps get the heat moved around the room so that you are not creating hot and cold spots. We always turn on the oscillation to heat the room. I am sold on that feature and would not buy another heater in the future unless it oscillated.

It has a remote control.

The only thing that would make it better is if you could see the settings on the remote instead of having to look at the top of the heater. But, if they did that, the cost would go up. So, I'm happy with this remote given the price of the unit.

There are a couple of negatives about this heater:

To me, it is annoying that it beeps for every setting you change. This may be a problem if you plan to use it in your bedroom and change settings while someone is asleep. The beeping is really apparent when you want to change the thermostat. When you unplug the heater, it resets itself to 75 degrees. So, if you then want to set it to 60 degrees, you are going to hear 15 LOUD beeps. Turn it on beep. Choose oscillate beep. Change to auto setting beep. Decide to up the temperature by 3 degrees during the night beep, beep, beep... and your partner is now awake! You get the idea. :) I assume Lasko designed the beep so that you would know you changed something while clicking the remote control. But, it's so loud they should either make it softer or give you an option to turn it off.

There is no "fan only" setting.

It seems like most heaters I've purchased in the past have a fan only setting. I'm not sure why this one does not. Since you have the big unit sitting there in your room, it would be nice if it could be used to circulate air during the day when it's warmer, and then heat at night once the temps have dropped. Since we are using this heater in our RV, it's more noticeable to me since we need to have space for the both the heater and a fan. Oh well.

Overall, we love this heater and would buy it again.

I rate it at 4.5 stars.

(PS we bought it at a local store, not via Amazon, so I can't comment on shipping).

UPDATE 1/18/2010: We've had this heater about 1 year now and it's still going strong. One thing I've noticed is that it will build up lint (Ummm... ok, cat & dog fur...). I wish there was a filter we could access and clean more directly. Oh well, other than that this heater is still doing great.

I own two of these Lasko tower heaters--this review is for the newest one which has a remote control. In the accompanying video, you will see a detailed explanation of the buttons on the control panel and the indicator lights on the screen. In the video, I note that the only thing I really DISlike about this heater is that what passes for a carry handle on the back of this model is pathetic...I can't see how anyone could pick up the heater and carry it that way. In fact, when I tried, I dropped it. My other heater has an obvious carry handle on the top.

The remote control is fantastic for turning the unit on and off or changing the thermostat from bed, from across the room, etc. The remote contains all the controls that the actual heater has on its control panel. When the heater is oscillating, it can be a little tricky to get the remote to "talk" to the heater at first...you just have to wait for it to oscillate toward you to click the remote.

UPDATE: This heater died yesterday (Jan. 18, 2012). I have no clue what happened. I went to turn it earlier and nothing. Used the reset instructions which say to unplug and wait 5 minutes and turn it back on. Nothing. Tried it in 3 different outlets. Nothing. Bummer.

this heater is a life saver! my room mate and i are too cheap to have the heater on all the time. when we are home we have it on at a tolerable 65 degrees and turn it off when we leave the apartment. the heater is a great way to save on the bills and is eco-friendly. it heats up my room very well and pretty fast.

i decided to get lasko just because my boss has one in his office and i do like it. i also saw it at wal-mart and for only 45 dollars (w00t) and it's up for 75 bucks on the lasko website (double w00t) so it was a good deal!

the bad:

-the digital display is on top of the heater. it's inconvenient when i want to see the digital display screen from my bed

-no fan only option

the good!:

-quiet enough for me to fall asleep to (and i'm a light sleeper!)

-comes with a cute little remote controller with the same buttons as the heater and is very convenient if you don't want to get out of bed

-the heater beeps when you use the remote on it to show that it gets the command

-very cool feature: the auto option is great! let's say i have it set to 75 degrees. the heater will heat up to 77 degrees and temporarily shut off till the room cools down to 74 degrees. then the heater starts up again and the cycle keeps continuing till you or the timer shuts it off. i usually have this on when i'm sleeping and have no worries about being too hot.

-a timer that goes up to 8 hours

-high, low, or automatic setting

-can turn from side to side only on the high and auto setting

-compact

-has a handle in the back for easy carrying

i've had this heater only for a month, but i can tell it's going to last for a long while! because of it, i'm going to trust lasko!! i highly recommend this heater. as you can see, the good outweighs the bad!

Honest reviews on Lasko 755320 Ceramic Tower Heater with Digital Display and Remote

I bought one of these last year to put in my bedroom because I live on a three-floor townhome and the termostat is on the second floor. My bedroom is very large and the little heater did a great job warming it up. So I decided to get a couple more heaters, one for the guest bedroom and one for my basement office. They did such a great job and made my energy bill so much lower that I brought the guest room heater to the living room and turned off the central heat.

This year, I went to a store and saw them at a lower price, so I went ahead and bought another one to put back in the guest bedroom. They are really great because not only do they have remote controls, but they also have an auto setting, so you can program the temperature you want and just leave it on. Programming is as easy as pushing a button to set it higher or another one to set it lower, and the heater thermostat makes sure the room stays at about the temperature you set. This product is so good that two of my friends went ahead and bought some for their houses after they came over and I told them about how happy I am with them!

Here are my thoughts on this product:

PROS

light and easy to carry around if you want to move it from one room to another

durable, the ones I bought a year ago work as great as they did when I bought them

convenient and easy to use remote control

easy to use digital control on the unit

automatic temperature setting

heats up the space quickly, even larger rooms

does not use much electricity

nice design, easy on the eyes

cheap and small enough that you can get one for each room of your place

for multi-floored homes, if working with central heaters it will help level the heat throughout the place

CONS

after thinking a lot, I realized that the only con is that you have to be careful where you store the remote control during the summer. I had put the ones that are in rooms where there are drawers in the drawers, but can't remember where I put the remote for the unit in my living room. So, if you purchase this during the cold months, come up with a system for storing the remotes at a place you will remember by the time it gets cold again next year.

UPDATE: When the temperature gets really low outside (teens through low 20th's) I do turn on my central heater to help with the larger area of my place (living and dining rooms that are open together). So, if you live in a colder region and have larger areas with big windows or sliding doors, one of these heaters may not be enough to keep such areas toasty. Although, if it is a larger area that has heavy curtains helping insulate it, etc, then it may be all you need (ie: my bedroom is 15 x 12 and this little heater handles all that is needed to keep the room warm, and the finished part of my basement that has only a window--not a large glass sliding door like the living room-can also be kept really nice and warm with just one of these heaters running in it).

Enjoy your warm home!

I bought this heater for $40 and am pleased with its performance. We use it in our basement gameroom and live in Western PA cooler climate.

The heating element is the same for all of their heaters meaning they all provide the same amount of heat. The differences are in the features. This model has a couple features worth noting.

oscillating the heater slowly turns back and forth to disperse the heat around the room. Control this on the remote or the unit.

thermostat the heater kicks on when the ambient temp around the heater is 2 degrees under the set temp. It stays on until it reaches the desired temp. Control this on the remote or the unit.

CONS: the only negative to this model is that the temperature is digitally displayed but faces UP. When seated on a couch level with the unit, you can not see the temperature. Obviously this is not a reason to not buy this model but it is worth noting. This is why the unit received 4/5 stars. It is otherwise perfect!

Regarding the hot cord, I did not experience this. But I also did not have it running for 5+ continuous hours. Ours kicks on until the room is up to the set temp and turns off. If it was running on high for hours on end, the cord will probably heat up. Any heater will do this.

I only noticed the smell of heated plastic for the first 5 minutes the unit was on (first time it was started). This smell went away and I have not noticed it sense (few weeks of owning it and use it every night).
