I've bought three of these because we love them great design efficient and quiet!

BUT they break easily (the little wire that heats up inside the quartz tube) then, if you're handy, you can dismantle it and re-attach the wire, like I did, and have had to do about 5 times now!! That's the main problem with this otherwise great heater.

This is a nice heater that works just great. It feels kinda frail and might/probably won't last very long but for the price what can you expect. It isn't easy finding a 400/800W heater for some reason. I would love it if someone built a really tough heater for smaller spaces like this one.

This Fireplace has it all. My wife and I had been shopping for some time, and even bought a different model fireplace but ended it returning it because it looked cheesy. We were very excited to find this one on Amazon. The installation was pretty simple. It heats up our large bedroom nicely, has a beautiful curved front glass face, and a variety of colored background LED lights to choose from, plus a remote!!! This is a very nice and modern compliment to our bedroom, we couldn't be happier. As a side note, this seller is easy to work with, was very prompt in his email replies to us, and it was shipped very fast to Wa State. We initially were unable to turn it on, and when we contacted the seller he offered to ship us one the next day. Well we ended up figuring it out on our own, but was very grateful the seller was willing to quickly go above and beyone that extra mile. Highly recommend this!

I really like this fireplace the side color is a very cool feature. The only thing I don't like is that the heat blows out the top, was hoping it came from the bottom or front, but looks great and love the look of the flames with the stones.

I got one of these last year because i wanted a strong heater in a small package, small footprint, to use in my bathroom, because the built in heater stopped working. It's perfect for heating a small room like that. Then i got another one for my bedroom, it's quiet, strong, and small, it fit into a small space near the bed. Then, i got a third one for the living room. The living room is a large room, and i use the heater like a small fire place, it really pumps out the heat. It's not going to heat the whole living room, but sitting next to it feels like sitting next to a small fire for warmth, very pleasant, not too hot when close to it, just a nice strong warmth. In the living room, the central heating doesn't do that well heating the lower part of the room on a cold night, the heat rises and it can be set on a high temperature and still be cold where we sit, so we use these heaters to warm up our space, nice source of heat, very portable, lightweight, sturdy. No complaints, it's perfect for what i use it for.

This is a handy little heater that serves its intended purpose well heating a small room. I use it to take the chill off my computer room which is not usually heated like the rest of the house since I'm not in there all that often. The unit itself is plastic with a metal grille, but it feels very sturdy and well made. The fan noise level is acceptable. It is far from silent, but is quiet enough that it doesn't interfere. The controls are straight-forward. One dial is the power dial which has 4 settings: Off Fan Low High. The other dial is the thermostat with an infinite range of settings between and +. (I've found that just below the halfway point is very comfortable, but then again, the winters in California aren't exactly subarctic)

I'd recommend this for anyone with a small area to heat. a bedroom, computer room, sewing room, etc. (mine's in a room about 12 foot square). I doubt it would efficiently heat a room that was too much larger.

Follow up review Nov 2011: I just plugged this item in for what will be the 5th winter season. It works as great at it did when I bought it. Still a great item and highly recommended.

Here's my review of the Lasko 754200.

Update: 09 Feb 2009. I have learned to sleep with the fan noise of this space heater. However, I'm a very heavy sleeper.

Update: 26 Feb 2009. I am keeping this Lasko heater in the living room. I have bought another heater for my 8' x 10' guest bedroom, the Optimus H-5210 Infrared Quartz Radiant Heater available here on Amazon. The Optimus is virtually silent, and takes a bit longer to heat a room that has a ceiling fan (from 60 degrees, it takes a couple hours to truly heat the room up to 70 degrees), and that's fine with me.

Update: 08 March 2009. I am very happy with my Optimus in the guest bedroom!

Lasko warms nicely but thermostat is such that heater stays on a long time (5 minutes or more) but doesn't come back on for a long time, maybe 30-60 minutes. It's the opposite of another heater I have which comes on frequently for a short time each cycle. So with the Lasko you get almost too warm by the time the thermostat shuts it off, but temperature in room has to drop quite a bit for the thermostat to turn it back on. I find myself manually turning it on and off via thermostat.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program GreatCo's 50" LED fireplace is a wonderful addition to my home. It gives off a great amount of heat, that can be controlled and put at various settings, and has warmed up a perpetually cold room. But more than that, this fireplace is just incredibly beautiful and really adds something special to the room. The rear back lighting creates a spectacular display and the 'fire' itself looks great, absolutely stunning. One minor drawback is that the instruction booklet wasn't as helpful as it could have been when mounting it, but other than that I am really impressed. If you are thinking of adding an electric fireplace to your home you should really consider GreatCo's fireplace. You will not be disappointed.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program When I hit the power button on the remote for the first time and this unit fired up, it lit up my bedroom and completely transformed the feel of the room. I felt I was in an expensive hotel room. I couldn't help but have a huge smile. I love it. The flames look real. The stones look like they are glowing orange hot. It's really surprising how real it looks. The unit is only about 5 inches deep, so it doesn't stick out far from the wall at all.

The box is quite large but I was able to move it by myself (about the size a 50 inch TV would come in). The unit is very well packed and protected. The unit is in two main pieces that are a lot easier to move and carry than the box. I carried each of the two pieces upstairs and leaned them against my bed. The instructions were straight forward except for the fact that they said to take the mounting bracket out of the box. My mounting bracket was screwed to the main firebox and had to be removed so I could mount it to the wall. This was a good way to package it, it just was different than what the instructions said. The mounting bracket was over 32 inches wide and has screw hole every couple inches. This allows you to position it to hit two wall studs. That is what I did. You can also use the included drywall wall anchors. I like to hit a stud whenever I can.

I made sure the mounting bracket was level and attached it to the wall with 4 screws (included). Once that is on the wall installation is super easy. The firebox fits onto slots/hooks on the mounting bracket. Just lift it on and it stays there. Then replace the two screws that held the firebox to the bracket on the bottom. This assures that it will not come off the wall. You also need to remove a small access panel on the bottom of the firebox and pull out the larger of the two wires. The smaller one is for an in the wall installation kit. The wire will extend through the hole in the access panel, so the panel can be put back on. Now you put the included two sets of stones along the bottom of the firebox on the little slanted shelf. There is a set of clear plastic like stones and a set of white real stones. On the first layer I put one white stone then one clear stone. This used up all the clear ones. Then I added a second row on top of the first of the white ones. The clear stones will pick up the orange light and glow orange hot like coals. Pretty cool.

Next the front glass panel fits on the firebox it fits into another set of slots. Push the bottom of the glass in and it will snap two pegs into spring loaded brackets. Almost done. Now stick your head under the unit and connect the wire coming out of the access panel to the one on the back of the glass panel. Finally plug her in and stand back. Hit the power button on the remote and watch your room be transformed.

The remote is awesome. On it you can:

Select 1 of 4 flame modes. Mostly the brightness changes. And yes the flames look real. I was really surprised.

Select 1 of 12 back light colors including one that cycles through all of them as well as off.

Select a timer to turn the unit off after x hours (variable number). A sleep function like on your TV.

Turn the heater on Level 1 (750 watts) Level 2 (1500 watts) and off. You do not need to run the heater.

Set the thermostat for the heater.

The remote has an LCD display.

Notes:

Installation was easy for me. I used a drill, screwdriver, level, and stud finder (battery one and long finishing nail to confirm).

The instructions refer to the mounting bracket as if it is loose in the box. Mine was screwed to the fire box and had to be removed so it could be mounted on the wall.

There looks to be an add on kit for mounting this fireplace in the wall.

The instructions say the unit needs 13 inches of space on the bottom and none on the sides and top. Bottom is due to the heater.

The heater on the high setting will use all the power on a standard household circuit, so be aware of that so you're not blowing the circuit breaker all the time.

The firebox has power and mode buttons on the side.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This fireplace works wonders on our mezzanine level of our converted loft home. The large second floor master-suite has about 450 sq. ft. but, does not have a radiator. This fireplace makes it toasty, there are two different heating levels to choose from. The flames look real and the ambient LED lighting looks great. installation is pretty straight forward, attach the bracket to the wall (first remove it from the fireplace), hang the main unit and attach the glass portion. Great addition to the room when adding a vented fireplace is not an option.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My box was delivered with a big dent in the front side where the glass was packed. When I opened the box, I fully expected the glass to be cracked or broken but it was perfect, which speaks highly for the shipping container.

I was thinking this would be the size of a 50" TV but it is a bit larger. The dimensions are 50" wide and 26" tall, which is probably the size of a 55" TV. It can be mounted on or recessed inside the wall. Personally, I would never build something like this into the wall because if it ever breaks or you get sick of it, you now have a huge hole in the wall. Fortunately, it is pretty slim (6" deep) so mounting it on the wall is perfectly fine.

The instructions are definitely lacking but fortunately, it is pretty straightforward to install. To install, you will need a drill, 1/8" drill bit, Philips screwdriver bit and preferably a level and stud finder. Also, you will need a few paper towels and glass cleaner to clean the glass front. Be sure to clean the inside of the glass before you mount it as it is quite dirty from shipping. A helper is recommended but you could install this yourself if need be. The unit is quite heavy but the weight is mainly due to the glass front. The firebox is separate and that is what you mount to the wall. Once you mount and level the box, you add the included clear and white stones to the bottom frame, then the glass front hangs over and attaches to the box with 4 hooks and snaps into the bottom. You must connect the backlight cable before you snap the bottom into place. There are two screws to lock it in place and you are done. I would strongly advise against using the wall anchors, as this weights about 70 lb. so be smart and bolt it to two studs with the 4 screws (included).

The glass front is elegant and the look of the flame is more realistic than other electric fireplaces I've seen. From across the room, it looks fairly realistic. Up close, it is not going to fool anyone but I've never seen an electric fireplace that would.

The remote has a temperature display, which defaults to degrees Celsius. After pressing the power button, you can hold the temperature button for 3 seconds to change it to Fahrenheit. The remote also controls the flame brightness (toggles between 3 levels), heater high or low, backlight color and timer. You can also turn heat and flame on and off from 2 buttons on the right side of the unit.

Overall, this is a nice fireplace. I think it is expensive for what you get but the front is a piece of solid glass so I'm sure that is a good part of the cost. I took a star off for the terrible instructions and the fact that the mounting bracket was different from what was shown in the instructions. Also, the bracket for mounting inside the wall was not included, although the instructions said it was. I doubt many people will mount this inside the wall anyway.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I was really intrigued by this, because I've never seen a wall-mount LED fireplace before. "Would it look like a TV? Would it heat like a fireplace?" the anticipation nearly killed me.

It showed up in a box that seemed to scream "I'm a 50" TV! STEAL ME!", though I happened to be home when it arrived. I was a bit surprised by how heavy it was -certainly heavier than a 50" LCD / LED television, arguably heavier than a similarly-sized plasma TV.

As far as looks go, I want to love this, and being an 80's kid, I absolutely do. It's like watching the Fire Channel on an HDTV, which reminds me of the old VHS aquarium tapes. The backlight is... prominent, making me want to fish out my old neon telephone, paint my walls turquoise and pink, and rock some Miami Vice: Season One. But therein lies a fairly serious problem. Even for contemporary style aficionados, it's hard to overcome the gadgety feel GreatCo seems to convey. And if you're not single and embracing your midlife crisis, you may find that your interior decorating committee objects to the style.

On the functional side, I was fairly impressed by how heat was radiating. It isn't like a fireplace, but it's less obvious than an electric space heater. Where it's just like an electric heater, is in the expense. Even with light usage, I noticed my electric bill climbing upwards.

In the right house with the right decor and the right person, you could pull this off. If you're not dead-on, you're going to find yourself stuck with a dangerously kitschy appliance that's expensive to run. Be careful, Crockett.

Buy Lasko 101 My Heat Personal Heater, White

I use it discreetly at work where it is cold and regular heaters are banned. Now I can work in comfort while my neighbors in surrounding cubes bundle up. Best of all, it is quiet and no one know I have my heater on. The size was bigger than I had expected but it hides well behind my laptop screen when not in use. Highly recommended.

I agree with all of the reviews that I read when I bought this little guy. It's a great little heater that doesn't heat too much area; it's a personal heater. If my hands were cold I could put it on my desk or move it to my feet if they needed to be warmed up. It's about the size of a computer speaker so it's easy to move. Love it!

Honest reviews on Lasko 101 My Heat Personal Heater, White

I work in a large space that is too expensive to keep heated so this little heater is perfect. It does not really heat the room that I am in very much. Maybe that is because I keep the door open. But it does keep me comfortable. I have it under the desk pointed at me. The rest of the building is about 55-60 degrees.

It does not have a thermostat. But since I keep it near me I have not had a problem remembering to turn it off when not in use. My original plan was to plug it into an energy saving surge protector and have it turn off with the computer. That way it would be less possible for it to just be left on when not in use.

After 2 weeks: I now know that if I keep the door at least partially closed it does heat the room.

It doesn't have a tip-over switch. The heater itself does not get hot except for that black circle where the heat blows out and that doesn't get hot enough to actually burn you if you happen to brush against it.

Update: I have been using this little guy for at least 8 mos. now and I have forgotten to turn it off a few times. I expected to see an uptick in the electric bill but that didn't happen. 200 watts is like two bright incandescent light bulbs.

This coffee maker WAS great! Now, less than a year later, it switches from Brew mode to Keep Warm ("Ready") mode prematurely before coffee is half brewed. It now delivers "coffee-stained" water that is not too warm. I think the thermostat has gone south because "Ready" light comes on rather quickly now and brewing stops abruptly. Good while it lasted; wasted money in retrospect.

I bought 2 of these at the same time, for a catering service. One burnt out within the first couple weeks, at a job site. I had to run to target and buy a cheap 12-cup coffee maker. It made me look unprofessional. A couple months later, the other one burnt out at another job. I had to drive 25 miles round-trip, to pick-up an older urn I had for a replacement. Again, it made me look unprofessional. DON'T BUY THIS GARBAGE. YOU'LL REGRET IT!

I use 30-100 cup coffee urns regularly for classes that I teach. I purchased two imported Waring Pro 55 cup urns. Just like the other reviews, one of mine malfunctioned after only half a dozen uses, resulting in lightly colored hot water rather than coffee. I have been using WestBend Coffee Urns for many years. You can't kill West Bend coffee urns. I liked the Waring stainless steel because it required much less scrubbing than the aluminum West Bend products. But from now on, my future purchases will be West Bend performance over good looks. My Waring now sits looking pretty but useless, until I place it in my recyling bin, or start using valuable time writing letters to Waring to try to get them to replace it.

We bought this coffee urn for our Church. It gets used once a week and after a few months it no longer perks. It sounds like it's perking, but by the time the ready light comes on, it still looks like stained water and the grounds are still mostly dry. The instruction booklet says to replace the rubber caps at each end of the tube in order for the unit to continue to brew properly. There are no rubber caps and no available parts on-line that I can find! Perhaps we lost the caps??? I don't know, but we can't even replace them! Don't waste your money, this coffee urn is a dud.

Home Comfort DV21N Direct Vent Natural Gas Heater Review

List Price: $546.00
Sale Price: $454.99

The wall furnace looked fine when unpacked, but during the installation process I found the combustion chamber had twisted away from the somewhat flimsy brackets on the secondary bracket that mounts on the wall bracket. I am guessing the unit was dropped on a corner during shipping and the chamber assembly twisted free, breaking the rivets that held it and twisting 2 of the 4 brackets. I could have returned it, I'm sure, for a replacement, but a careful examination showed no other damage. We bent the brackets back and securely riveted them. The gas inlet filter also fell out when the dust plug was removed. This was tricky to get back into position properly, so the unit needed to have a brass fitting installed while the unit was upside down. Then the gas line was attached when the unit was back on the wall.

The cut-out template was accurate. I did a drill through the wall and cut the outside vent hole just slightly down from the inside vent hole to allow the required 3% drop for water drainage. Cutting the vent pipe and rod as specified in the directions resulted in a perfect through-the-wall installation of the vent assembly. The vent assembly covers make for an attractive installation outside. Once in place and running, the heater performed very well, easily heating a 1000 sq. ft. apartment. The outside temperatures are about 35 40deg F, so this is not a severe weather environment. The sealed chamber combustion using outside air which is vented back out through a central exhaust vent means there is no chance of sucking air out of the room or exhausting combustion byproducts into the room unless you install the vent assembly below or right next to a window or other opening into the structure. Follow the guidelines and you have a safe installation. That is, assuming the combustion chamber does not leak. I have no way of determining if that will happen over time, but there were no apparent combustion products of any kind coming from the wall furnace when newly installed. Even the normal new-heater burn-off odor was very low.

I could not give this a 5 star rating because of the flimsy internal mounting bracket issue. The unit cover is also made of materials that appear to be thinner than the painted sheet metal covers one usually encounters on furnace cover assemblies. However, for the price, this wall furnace appears to do an excellent job of heating, and the installed furnace is actually pretty attractive.

I ordered this from the dent-n-scratch warehouse, and it was described as dented. It has a rugged exterior casing, and a really heavy and solid inside mechanism. But the connection between them is 4 flimsy bent sheetmetal brackets with rivets. I suspect that any force great enough to dent the outside, is great enough to twist the brackets and rip out the rivets--which is exactly how I received it.

I decided to hammer out the dents and rivet things back together. But unless you are willing to do that, don't buy this unit online--buy it from a local distributor. The factory packaging IS NOT ADEQUATE for UPS shipping. It is packaged for delivery to a retail store strapped onto a pallet. I see no way that this unit could survive shipping in the factory packaging, unless it is crated.
