I liked my little Windchaser a lot.

It was a tad on the noisy side... but compact and very toasty.

It made my entire downstairs room warm and welcoming from its home beneath my desk.

But now it has up and died after one year of use.

I'll miss it.

Will I buy another one?

Not sure. It was warm and comforting during our time together.

But I'm looking for a longer term relationship.

These portable heat pumps are good. I have the 12000 btu version as well. If you try to cool a room a couple degrees just realize how long your furnace or air condition takes to accomplish the same task. Do not over size as this will cause the compressor to short cycle plus it will not have a chance to dehumidify. Try to heat/cool open spaces. Once unit catches up to set temperature it maintains it well. This is not a miracle fix all, give the unit time.

I am very pleased with this heater. It has one or two quirks that I didn't expect (hence the 4.5 stars), but it puts out a terrific amount of heat, looks great and was a real bargain Amazon is the best.

What I didn't expect:

* It's much larger than I expected. My impression based on the pictures I could find was that it was much smaller, but be prepared for a sizeable heater;

* Contrary to the description, it doesn't have a digital temperature readout. I was a little annoyed at first, but then most temperature gauges don't work well anyway, and I heat the room to feel comfortable and not to a specific temperature, so this doesn't matter much to me now;

* The thermostat works differently than I expected. The unit puts out a constant amount of heat, regardless of the setting, but the higher thermostat settings make the unit run until the room is hotter before it shuts off, which works fine;

* I run my heater on a 40 lb. propane bottle. If you plan to run on a bottle, be prepared to buy a pressure regulator, hose and some fittings. Oddly, I couldn't find the right combination from Mr. Heater, but did buy the Red Dragon kit on Amazon, which works well. The only other fitting I needed was an adapter from 3/8" NPT to 3/8" flare, which was only $3 at the local hardware store;

* I read reviews elsewhere that the internal fan is quiet. I like the fact that it has the fan, but find it a bit noisy to my taste. Since I have a vaulted ceiling and ceiling fans, I will rarely use the internal fan. It seems to work fine without it and runs almost silently, which is very nice.

Overall, a real deal in my opinion that suits my needs almost perfectly.

August 2011 Update: A few more observations after using the heater for a while:

* we can smell the byproducts of combustion in the room when we use this heater. This is not surprising since the combustion gases are vented into the room. As a result, we use it sparingly (usually just to warm the room) since the smell can be unpleasant, and undoubtedly isn't good for your health if used extensively;

* burning propane relases a fair bit of water vapour into the room, so we get condensation on the windows. Again, this is not a surprise;

* this heater is certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), which is one of the reasons I bought it. However, the CSA approval is only for use in the USA; these types of unvented heaters are not approved for use in Canada;

* I did some reading online about unvented heaters (sadly after I bought this unit). Anyone interested in buying unvented heaters would do well to read up about the pros and cons before buying.

Ordered the heater back in May of 2012. A licensed plumber (certified in propane) installed the 16 feet of propane line. My jaw dropped when I got his bill: $400.05 -did he really need to include that nickel? The heater cost me $179.95 and I see that it is now going for $239.95. You might want to purchase it off season.

I hooked up the heater to a 15 gallon propane tank and connected the line to the tank using a Mr. Heater 5-Feet Propane Hose/Regulator Assembly. It says right on the regulator, "LOW PRESSURE." ***BE SURE YOUR REGULATOR CAN DELIVER LOW PRESSURE (i.e., it may be a hose rated for high pressure that you can turn down, but you need to run low pressure into the heater or it can damage it. I didn't want to take that chance of any faulty guesswork, so I purchased the hose that had the words "LOW PRESSURE" stamped right on the regulator).

11/07/2012 -EDIT: I wish I had seen this before I bought the other hose hookup. I would have purchased it: Red Dragon SL-1C Low Pressure Propane Hook Up Kit With 10-Foot Hose. Just copy and paste it into the search bar and see what you think.

The instructions tell you to put the control knob on "Pilot" and then press it down (push on it straight down, toward the floor) and hold it for 30 seconds if this is the first time you're using it. Boy, were they ever wrong. First of all, it depends on how long your line is from the tank. My 16 foot run took about 3 minutes to get gas to the pilot light! So, be patient and don't do what I did -wasted some of my AA battery by clicking the igniter constantly for about 30 seconds before I realized what was happening. Just keep holding that big knob down in the Pilot position and then try the igniter every 15 seconds or so until it flames. Once that flame starts, they say to continue depressing the knob for another 30 seconds. Well, that's a bunch of bull crap. You can take your hand off after 6 seconds. Count 'em. The flame will not blow out the pilot once 6 seconds have ticked by.

Our house is 1,727 sq ft. We keep all three bedroom doors, the guest bathroom door and the laundry room door, closed. I'm guessing we're heating around 1,100 sq ft with the heater.

Here are some statistics you might find interesting...

A gallon of propane weighs approximately 4.2 lbs.

A gallon of propane has a burn rate of approximately 100,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units) per hour. This means that if you run your heater continuously (30,000 BTUs) you will be consuming propane at a rate of about 1/3 gallon per hour. At 33,000 BTUs, your heater would be right at the1 gallon per hour approximation. I am guessing that my 15 gallon propane tank could therefore run for about 50 hours (because I'm only burning 30K and not 33K). The shorter the time you have your heater on, the longer you'll go between refills of your propane tank. (What's HUD spelled backwards?)

Since I don't want to do the math to calculate how long I can go (in theory) between refills by running my heater for 6 minutes on after each 50 minutes off (see my experiment below), 14 times per day, I went ahead and wrote the date of the last fill on the tank itself. When it becomes empty, I will have my answer and I'll let you know. I started with an empty tank and it took on 14.4 gallons of propane when I filled it at the local station. By the way -I paid $2.99 per gallon! It is much cheaper at other locations, but I was too excited to wait.

Here are some results from a runtime experiment I've conducted:

Cycle #1:

Outdoor temperature: 55.6 F

Indoor temperature: 68.4 F

Time heater not burning: 56 min 46 sec

Time heater burning: 5 minutes 50 seconds

Cycle #2:

Outdoor temperature: 56.8 F

Indoor temperature: 68.5 F

Time heater not burning: 44 min 3 sec

Time heater burning: 5 min 54 sec

Cycle #3:

Outdoor temperature: 56.8 F

Indoor temperature: 68.5 F

Time heater not burning: 51 min 39 sec

Time heater burning: 5 min 32 sec

On the large heat control knob, there are small raised dots. There is a dot right at the "1" and then four more dots is where the "2" is. To achieve these runtime intervals (i.e., on/off times), I have set the dial to one dot past the "1" and this is where we achieve our 68 degrees (with temps in the 50s outdoors).

Something you should also know, and I had to find this out from experience. I thought that the low setting would set the flame lower and on the high setting, the flames would be larger. Not so. The dial is merely a thermostat. The flames are pretty much full whether the heater is on LOW or on HIGH. I did notice a little more flame at the very top end of the dial, but it's not much. To control the temperature in the house, therefore, all you need to do is select a spot on the dial and leave it there.

We keep our house at 68 degrees and dress warmer if we get a little chilly. But I am here to tell you, you'll burn a lot more propane if you keep your house just 2 degrees warmer and to us, it's just not worth it. We "wear" our 2 degrees and it doesn't cost us a penny more.

Here's something else -the pilot runs while the flame is off. BUT -when you are not going to be running the heater, just turn the whole thing off, including the fan.

The fan is rather wimpy, but adequate. I think it moves more air than we might think, but if you want more "wind," you might want to augment it with a small electric fan.

CARBON MONOXIDE CAN KILL YOU! -Having researched many opinions about vent free heaters running inside a home, I decided to go out and purchase a CO (carbon monoxide) detector with alarm. I have a model that includes a digital display of actual levels of Carbon Monoxide and it displays the reading in parts per million. The very first sign of CO poisoning is a frontal headache. Go read all you care to about CO poisoning and what symptoms are brought about by what levels of toxicity (you never want it above 70ppm and you definitely need to leave the house if it ever gets up to 100ppm, but my device detects zero Carbon Monoxide. I have placed the device atop a set of shelves about 30 inches, nearly directly above, the heater. That said, we still have plenty of ventilation in our manufactured home (bathroom fans pull air into the enclosure through vents in our window design) and the heater does come with a low oxygen shut-down safety feature. Which I don't trust. Which is why I bought the CO detector/alarm unit.

Obviously, it is still a warm Autumn with mild outdoor temperatures. But that's all gonna change soon. We bought this heater in preparation for the power outages we'll face when the big Pacific Northwest storms start pounding us.

I am giving the Mr Heater Model #VF30KBLUELP 30,000 BTU Vent Free Propane Heater 5 stars. Wimpy fan or not, this is a kick-butt alternative to any dependence on electric furnaces when the power goes out. And I think it can also hold its own as a primary heat source in any area with adequate ventilation (along with a CO detection device, just to be on the safe side).

Hope this review helped.

I have used several different types of this kind of stove in different locations. Currently have an all electric house with a pellet stove. Found a really nice like new 50 gallon upright propane tank at a yard sale that I'm using right now.

This is not a good do it yourself project for a home owner. These things require a real installation from someone trained and qualified. Once I got the tank, it needed a regulator, a POL, two pieces of flex (one outdoor, one indoor) a ball shut off valve, some schedule 80 black iron pipe to go through the wall with a lot of other pipe parts and a sediment trap.

THEN once everything is set up, it REQUIRES a real leak test and a gas check before it's put into service.

Once all that was installed correctly and completely tested out? It worked great. Probably took over half an hour to get gas to the pilot light though. Which is normal, air gets in there and it has to be purged out while the thing is attempting to get lit up.

Settings on the control go from 1 5. Have not had it beyond the '1' mark yet. 3 bedroom, two bath house getting into the 20's at night, mid 30's during the day I used 10 gallons of propane the first week.

Can't hear it come on and off as it cycles through it's thermostat. Fan has an automatic setting so it doesn't have to run all the time, either.

Big plus with this one for me was that it comes with the legs and fan. Isn't as much fun to watch as my old vent free fireplace but it sure does get the job done for heating this house and is probably less than half what the stupid pellet stove was costing me. With NO hassle. And the propane company will come out and fill the tank the day after I call if it starts getting low.

Couple of the wood stove die hard neighbors are coming around to check this out. Can imagine it won't be too long before they have one of these, too!

It probably took a little over 2 1/2 hours to install.

The shipping on this was a real treat, too. Came right away in perfect shape. Sure don't have any complaints on this one!

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater 30,000 BTU Propane Blue Flame Vent-Free Heater

This heater works as well as I had hoped it would and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. The "auto" function for the blower fan, for example, causes a delay in the fan operation until enough heat is built up from the flame before it comes on. When the target temperature is reached, the flame goes off and the fan continues to run until it is no longer blowing warm air, then it stops blowing. In other words, this little portable heater work exactly like the furnace in your house is designed to work. It exceeds my expectations.

Ok, I took a little time before reviewing this heater because I wanted to use it for a few days. Here is what I found. Some have said it is large. Yes, its a bit large but it puts out 30,000 BTU's and heats my cabin of 1,000 sq ft. It's not a portable like Mr Heaters Big Buddy's which I also have. There are no handles on it to carry it around. For me at least it is a permanent heater. You can hang it on the wall or attach the legs for floor use.

Setting it up was not difficult but be aware you will need some pipes and connections as it only comes with one elbow for floor use. Some parts I got from Amazon and had my local hose guy put it all together. I did the rest.

Now comes the use of it. At first I had a few problems with the thermostat. It would come on and stay on which made my cabin way too hot. After texting with Bill Sisley at Mr Heater, a great tech by the way, He helped figure out my problem. Notice I said my problem not the heaters. The problem was a draft.

Now the thermostat works perfectly and so does the blower fan. The heater works like a furnace in a large house

All in all it's a great heater and I would recommend it. Just know, you will need to purchase some parts.

One last thing, The heater including the fan is very quiet.

Honest reviews on World Marketing Pelonis Ceramic Safety Heater

This heater is awesome for my apartment. I do have central heating but we also have large windows with poor insulation. This is perfect for those nights when the thermostat is turned down in the rest of the house but our bedroom is kept toasty for ourselves and our dogs.

This little heater is super powerful and so far I've only used it on the low setting, at medium heat. I love that it has some type of internal thermostat to shut off before baking us. The safety mechanism of shutting off when tipped over is a plus with clumsy dogs.

Great price, very toasty, compact--I love it!!

This bed is very comfortable and almost nearly waveless. I knocked a star off the review due to the lack of instructions included with the mattress. You actually receive two mattresses with a thermal barrier piece to be placed between the mattresses. I was concerned about the seam between the two mattresses, but so far it has not been an issue. I like being able to get in and out of the bed without disturbing my husband, and we can keep each side of the bed as warm as cool as we wish by adjusting the heater for that mattress. It provides a firm support without having pressure points. I wake each morning refreshed without the aches and pains associated with sleeping in regular bed.

Update September 18, 2013

I woke up today to find that one of the corners of the bed is leaking. Since I've only had this bed for a little over a month, this points to a lack of quality control. Very disappointing, since otherwise the bed is very comfortable.

Update October 31, 2013

I contacted Amazon and they shipped a replacement mattress. So far, so good. No leaks and very comfortable. One thing I noticed is that the first mattress had a very strong vinyl smell several weeks after it was installed, the replacement mattress does not have the strong odor.

When I saw this heater at the store a couple of years ago, I loved the idea of it. But when I went home and looked at our setup, I saw no space between the umbrella pole and the hole in the table to fit the cord, so I let it go. Then I recently received this as a gift. I was concerned about how I'd hook it up, but it was worth trying since we have some chilly evenings where we like to still sit outside. It was QUITE an adventure to get it set up. Our umbrella pole is a full 2" diameter....the max you can have with this heater. And the cord is t-h-i-c-k. It wouldn't fit in the tiny space left as the pole went thru the table hole so I had to rout out a groove in the wood umbrella pole so it would have a place to rest and not be pinched. Then there was the rest of the cord issues. The cord is only about 8-9' long and the instructions say to not use this with an extension cord. OK----good luck with that. Unless you have an outlet right under your table, that's not gonna happen. The the bigger issue at hand was the plug on the end of the cord. It's HUGE. So big, it would not fit thru the hole in our patio table. There's nothing unusual about our patio table. The hole looks completely standard, but this plug with it's GFI Test buttons and all would not fit through. So we started to dismantle it. In the end, we had to remove the wiring from the cord completely, then slip the cord thru the hole, then rewire it. So as not to have a 14G extension cord running along our deck, we wired it directly with 120 standard home wire underneath the deck, then connected the big plug at the other end right by the outlet. You wouldn't have to do that, but we did since we had the cord apart anyway. All's well right? It lights up....it heats....it has good ambiance....and then we had a rain storm. The heater is under the umbrella, but with heavy rain that umbrella will start to leak water. I wonder if the heater is waterproof??? NOOOOOOOOOO. The instructions clearly say that it cannot get wet. Water can't drip into the heater blades or the center motor. What the? This is supposed to be for the outdoors!! And now that our heater is unremovable from the umbrella cuz we'd have to dismantle the big plug again, we can't just take it in the house. For the immediate storm, I covered each blade with plastic bags, but the center motor was still exposed. For the long run, I sewed up a permanent cover for the heater out of some old patio cover fabric I had from another project. But you would think this would have been designed to take a little moisture without issue. Big design flaw in my opinion which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I otherwise love the heater in operation and the soft light is nice at night.

There's nothing nicer than a warm, dry, towel. And in the summer this heater keeps towels from getting musty so quickly. But, our electric bill went up $40 per month and we didn't know why....until we unplugged the towel warmer. Now we plug it in long enough to dry the towels, or to heat them while we shower. Then we turn it off again. Other than being an electricity hog, this is a great product, and we enjoy the feeling of being pampered and comforted with heated towels.

I've been using the Hyde Park Freestanding Towel Warmer and Drying Rack for about one month. It appears to be very well-built it is sturdy and does not tip easily. Towels don't get nearly as warm as they would in a clothes dryer (a clothes dryer uses far more energy). However, it dries them thoroughly, allowing them to absorb more water far more quickly. I put a timer (about $10 at Lowes) on the receptacle, keeping the rack energized only a few hours before and after normal towel use times. This should minimize the impact on the electricity bill.

I live in Southern California and I really appreciate this unit. My husband and I had an apartment in Paris that had a great towel warmer. It's hard to describe the European warmer, but it had more surface area. My complaint with the few units I've seen here in the United States is that they have rungs instead of a tile-like surface heating area, and therefore aren't as efficient and don't do as good a job of heating/drying. However, given that the European units don't seem to be available here, this unit works well enough. We use it to warm/dry our towels, dry swimsuits, etc. without having to start up the clothes dryer. It's also very nice to have a warmish towel when you step out of the shower.

We have been using this heater for over a month now, it is a powerful little heater. I wanted to get a ceramic heater because I read they are the safest space heaters you can buy. This is important because you here a lot of horror stories of space heaters causing fires. The heater has three settings low, high and auto(ranging from 900-1500 watts of electrical power). On the low setting the heater puts out 900 watts. We usually use it on auto where you set the handy digital thermostat to a set temp. and the unit maintains that temperature, you can either set it on the unit or by using the handy included remote control. I was surprised to see how well this unit heats about a 220 square foot space. I would recommend this unit with confidence, my only issue with the unit is do not expect it to save you money over other space heaters i.e. oil filled electric radiators. My electric bill seems to have gone up using this heater over a previous oil filled electric unit by the same manufacturer. I will say, that this unit does heat the room much better then the previous unit, largely due to the fan dispersing the heat.

I 'live' in a basement which gets pretty cold, my room has one wall that is considered an outside wall, in order to have any light in my room I need to have my bathroom door open two outside walls. As soon as this arrived I plugged it in my bathroom and the heater recorded my bathroom temperature at 56. I set it to auto and it keeps my bathroom and bedroom nice and toasty! The only downside was it's rather loud and makes a few noises, made it difficult to sleep for a few nights. I'm over it now, and it's wonderful! If you live in a cool area, this is a greatand not too pricey device to invest in.

EDITED:

I went to plug the heater in this winter and to my disappointment it wouldn't turn on. Of course the one year warranty is up. While it was a good heater when it worked, I did have to lower my rating on this item; it lasted just a little over a year.

This fan-forced heater is nothing spectacular, nor is it bad. While it has only one heat setting, it still can crank out its share of heat. It also has a thermostat to control comfort levels as well as save on electricity. I've purchased different fan-forced heaters in the past, and must say that this one has the most output for the price. This unit is 1,200 watts, so there's plenty of power to heat a small room. Still, the low price is probably this heater's most attractive feature. For that, it gets my endorsement.

Bought this fan for my cold office. Worked fine for about 4 months putting out a nice amount of heat. Just stopped working. Followed instructions and unplugged to reset. Will not turn on. Total waste.

I bought this for a bathroom that only has a heat lamp and no heater. It works well, is light and heats quickly and efficiently.

I've had this kettle for about 8 years and it works just fine. I use it on average 2 to 5 times a day. The whistle isn't quite as loud as it was in it's younger days, hence I've boiled it dry quite a few times, with no ill effects. The only drawbacks are the one quart capacity and dragging the cord around when I fill it. So, if you want an electric kettle for under $20, this is a good buy.

I bought this teakettle online after searching the stores for something similar. I drink tea several times a day, and my office is a ten minute walk from the cafeteria. This way, I drink tea whenever I want at a fraction of the cost. The water heats up very quickly, and the teakettle never seems too hot to hold. Everyone who sees it wants one of her own.

Highly recommended!

I actually own two of these kettles for several years now. One at home, and one to make a quick tea/coffee at work. They make a quick job of boiling water, have a very loud whistle and just excellent overal. One thing to notice though it will only hold three to four cups of water. Perfect for a small family, but not enough if you have more than 2 tea drinkers at home. I have not seen rust on either pot I own, so it's possible that the other reviewer had a bad unit.

This pot has no on/off switch and so it sparks whenever you unplug it or plug it in. It will only automatically turn off if all the water boils away. I wish i had spent more money and gotten a higher quality product.

I got one of these for my 80-something mother a few years ago. She desperately wanted an electric kettle that reminded her of an old stovetop version yet was simple and safe, since her eyesight was failing. The Ptresto fit the bill and she loved it.

Unfortunately, the cleaning lady at mom's facility melted the cord somehow, so we got mom another. She likes it as much as before. We were impressed enough that we ditched our own more vertical model and got ourselves one of these.

Very handy for tea water, a cup of instant hot cider or cocoa on a cold evening, or some boullion. Or to just have some hot, hot water handy on the counter for recipe purposes.

We recommend it!

Bought this unit at Christmas and finally installed it today March 30, 2012. I was very disappointed in the flame. The flame is only one color, light yellow, which makes it look very fake and faint. If you have the light on or it is daytime you can barely see the flame and my bathroom is very dark because my skylight isn't installed yet. I am sure once the skylight is installed I won't be able to see the flame during the daytime. I also thought the sand was movable and replaceable but it appears to be fixed and sealed in place. I didn't like the pattern of the sand and wanted to rearrange it but I guess I will have to live with it the way it is. Another design flaw is that the model and general information of the unit is printed in white on the black metal on the right side of the fireplace where the manual controls are located. It looks ghastly. We have a mirror on the wall which is perpendicular to the wall the fireplace is on and it shows the reflection of all the writing in the mirror. We are going to buy a piece of sheet metal to cover it up. I am sure they could of printed that information somewhere else on the unit. I do like the modern look of the fireplace and it does look nice installed in the wall and does put out some heat however, not as much heat as I expected from reading the specifications. It is spring here in California and I wonder if it will put out enough heat in the winter time. I bought this because I had heard that the flames looked very realistic and the videos I watched of other Dimplex fireplaces showed at least 2 colors in the flame. Trust me the flame in this fireplace has only one color and they must be adding colors to the pictures. I wished I could of seen the fireplace before I bought it but couldn't find it anywhere. I would not of bought this fireplace if I had seen the poor quality of flame color.

Update

My husband put a black metal plate over the model information and it looks a lot better now.

This was the 2nd Dimplex electric fireplace that I ordered from Amazon. Unfortunately it too was a disappointment. Again, the flame isn't coming from sand, but instead an odd looking fabric that did not look appealing. My biggest complaint though was that Dimplex does not stress that this fireplace really needs " In Wall" mounting, not just "on "the wall. It has a large profile that if not mounted "in the wall" is just too big and awkward looking "on" the wall. It sticks out quite a bit and just couldnt be integrated nicely onto the wall without looking like the pink elephant in the room. Had I been willing to cut through drywall and install, I am certain it would have been pretty. I returned this fireplace unfortunately. On a more positive note, Amazon makes returns so incredibly easy that one should atleast order the fireplace and see if it works for them, if not, the return process is painless.
