I would probably have given it a better rate but it is missing something that should be there which makes it not work with my fireplace heater. As far as the way it was packaged it was a rating of 5 I'm sure it works fine for one of the Amish Heaters just the wrong one for mine. thanks anyway. i also give it a 5 for the amount of time from the time I ordered it to the time I received it. I'll try and see if I can sell it.

We bought this item originally as an inexpensive, alternative heat source in the Winter, when we can lose electricity for hours, even days, when a bad storm rolls through.

It quickly became our main heat source -as unlike the two, 15,000 btu, electric space heaters we'd been using -this can heat a cold room within 30 minutes. And, all by itself, heats the entire house better than those two other heaters running together. And we only once turned it to the third setting. It usually stays on 1.

To clarify, we live in a very small space: 750 square feet in a very old, single-wide, with windows that no longer seal well. The weather here is moderately cold -we drop into the teens rarely, but stay solidly in the mid 20s-early 30s at night in winter. Days stay in the 30s. With the exception of if we have one of those storms, then all bets are off.

We ran this, with a little supplementary electrical heat during the day -I suspect if we'd got the 30,000 btu one, it would have heated the house completely, even on the colder days.

We don't run it at night, as it's in the living room. And because we're a little chicken of running propane when we sleep. But, in the morning, it brings the room quickly back to toasty -never more than 30 mins.

We installed it ourselves -with a bit of help from my uncle. Runs with two 50 lb=10 gal tanks. One tank lasts just about a week in the colder weather, and costs $24 to fill. So it's only a hundred a month -half what our heating bill was last year.

Last year, even with 3, electric, 15,000 btu heaters running, the house was never as toasty warm as it is with this propane heater.

Only note: If you use the tanks, only turn the knob slightly on. We found it eats through propane quicker if turned fully on. But has no apparent ill effect if the tank is only barely turned on.

And?

The blue flames are just lovely. :)

Highly recommended!

This has been a good little heater for me so far, I am using to heat a fish house. I'm not sure about the review stating that it need to be professionally installed though, to connect it to a 20 lbs cylinder (BBQ tank) you need buy a separate house with a regulator. It is available through Mr. Heater, part # F273072 (12' Propane Hose/Regulator Assembly), I purchased this at my local hardware store.

My only complaint on this heater is that the built in fan doesn't move any air. I'm not even sure why they put it in there, because it really doesn't do anything. I just bought a separate fan to circulate the air and have been pleased with it.

It would be nice if they told you the battery went under the start button, but once that was found the unit had a nice test run. When the power fails this will get the job done.

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater 20,000 BTU Propane Blue Flame Vent Free Heater

I recently installed this unit in my two car attached garage. I ran black pipe through the wall and attached it to a 20lb LP tank from my grill until I can get a bigger tank. The unit puts out good heat. It comes on at full so dont think you can adjust the output. But what it does do is bring the room up to temp then cycle off per the thermostat. Has some odor but I think that will disapate as it ages and burns off any newness. Battery operated ignition works very well. The only fault I find is the fan. It appears big enough but does not move a lot of air, design flaw perhaps. What it does do well is cycle on and off on it's own if you put it on the auto setting, good feature. I have not had it long enough to determin the gas usage, have my fingers crossed on that one. Overall I am very pleased as it out performs my electric ceiling mounted heater as well as a 23000 btu kerosene heater.

I have one of these heaters that I bought locally. If you want to connect it to a BBQ type jug you have to buy a hose and regulator. This is no big deal and anyone that has ever turned a wrench can hook this up.

Puts out lots of heat! I'm very happy with mine.

Purchased this unit a few weeks ago to cool a small office room (about 120sf). I was skeptical when I bought it because I was unsure how well portable AC units could be. The unit works really well and is very nice looking. The blowers are somewhat loud but given the small size of my room that is to be expected. It's not annoying loud. My only complaints were the poor documentation regarding the drainage. There are two drainage outlets. The upper one requires a garden hose attachment. This is only required if you are using the unit in the dehumidifier mode (which I am not). The instructions about this one were clear. The second drainage port is very small at the bottom of the unit. There were no specific instructions about this. It has a soft rubber cap. Once a day I place a shallow tin (pie tin) and drain the water. This is really important otherwise you will have a leak on your floor. Ideally you would hook up some type of small tube to drain. The only problem is that this drain is only about an inch above the floor which makes draining somewhat clumsy.

You do need to vent the unit and it comes with a good length, expandable, 6" thick plastic vent tube. I believe it stretches to 6 feet. Also comes with a window adapter.

Aside from the drainage issue, the unit seems very well made and works wonderfully. Comes with a remote control which I have not used.

WARNING-

There is NO REASON to drain the water from the bottom outlet during normal conditions.

Modern portable units REUSE the condensation water to their advantage (for evaporative cooling). The only time you would drain is if you need to move the portable system.

BACKGROUND-

My house has central air, but my computer room gets hot on it's own, and central air doesn't kick in since the average house temperature isn't hot enough for it to kick in. So the solution? Get an air conditioner for just the computer room. I have a vertical sliding window, and that makes getting an affordable window air conditioner quite difficult. I settled for this portable AC.

INSTALL-

Installation of the window pane didn't take too long, and was generally easy. Only issue is that although the pane was more than long enough (maximum length of 48.5"; minimum of 26.6"), the amount of non-adhesive and adhesive seal was insufficient to make rounds around the window, resulting in gaps for outside air to freely come in, as well as potential bugs.

Another issue is that the window pane has holes on it for screws that I'm not using (since this is meant for both vertical and horizontal window panels; so I'm not using the horizontal screws), and again, this will result in the outside air to freely come in, as well as potential bugs.

Both issues are solved by getting more seal, and/or taping it up.

Note that sound and heat/cold radiation will be more with this window pain, since it's just one sheet, as opposed to double-panel windows, which insulate very well.

In addition to the window kit, an L-shaped metal hinge is included so that you can block the window from sliding, since you can't lock your window anymore (for vertical sliding windows), for security.

ACCESSORIES-

The duct is of better quality than I imagined. It's very hard, and will not crinkle easily, and can do tight turns (although this is not recommended in the manual). It however does not come with any insulating material, so you may want to get a cover for it to insulate the heat better. The duct ranges from 15" to 55" in length.

The remote is also of better quality than I imagined. It has a small LCD display with backlight that shows the current settings, and you can change any of these settings using it. I expected a non-LCD remote with just buttons on it. It uses 2 AAA batteries, of which are included.

COOLING-

It cools. Very well. Outside temperature is 70F, house temperature is 77F, room temperature was 89F while installing this unit. After about an hour, room temperature is down to 75F, of which I am happy of (and will keep around there).

This unit features fan-only mode and cooling mode, with cooling mode having two options: manual and auto. Manual, you control everything, fan speed and temperature. Auto, it controls it by itself to get it down to the temperature you want it at, and keep it there (so if it's hot, it will blast the fan at full 'till it gets to lower temperature, then start using slower fan speed for quieter operations).

It also features sleep-mode, in addition to timers, which increases the temperature every half hour for 7 hours, then decreases it back to what you set it at (so you can save energy by not using it as much when you're asleep).

Power consumption, in the manual, says it uses 8.4-9.1A @ 115V input, and estimates a power usage of 560 Watts for cooling.

Note: Fan is on at all times if the device is on, presumably to take advantage of the evaporative cooling, so it will never be silent as long as it's on. Be sure to take this into account if you're planning on using this in the room you sleep in.

I bought this unit for my 180 sq ft home office which needs more cooling power than our central unit can deliver. The room has 3 large east-facing windows which receive full sunlight for at least 4 hours each morning in the summer. It also contains a workstation-class laptop computer, 2 22" monitors, an external hard drive, and several pieces of networking hardware.

With the doors closed this room easily reaches 85 degrees by noon each day in the summer (even with the window blinds closed), while the central AC maintains the rest of the house at 78 degrees.

The first full day I used this unit I left it off and the office doors and blinds closed until 10 AM when the room had reached 84.6 degrees. After running full-blast for 1 hour the room temperature had dropped to just 78.9 degrees and never dropped below 78 degrees until the windows were shaded.

If you have a medium-sized home office this unit will provide more than enough cooling power to negate the effects of your electronics, but if you don't already have central AC you will need a bigger unit.

Keep in mind that the 5000 BTUs of cooling provided is enough to balance out the effects of about 15 100W light bulbs (each bulb produces 341 BTUs of heat per hour). You can calculate the wattage of other electronic devices by multiplying their power source voltage * amps (the wattage is sometimes provided by the manufacturer in the user manual).

Also keep in mind that this is a single-hose unit which creates negative air pressure in the room where it operates. This causes some air to be drawn from other parts of the building to balance the pressure. If you need a portable unit as your primary cooling source you should look for a two-hose unit that maintains a more neutral air pressure.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire FRA053PU1 5,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

We got this for my daughter's room, which gets hotter than most of the house, despite having only an eastern and a northern exposure. On a moderately hot day, in the 80s, it will keep her room comfortable. But if it's in the 90s (when she needs it most!), it just can't keep up. When the temperature was in the mid to upper 90s, the best we could get in her room was 84. And this is a very, very small room (less than 100 square feet). Maybe I'm expecting too much. But sometimes the air blowing out doesn't even feel cold.

On the positive side, it's reasonably quiet (for this type of unit), it doesn't make strange noises (as these units often do), it's simple to operate and easy to install, and it's certainly a lot better than not having any AC at all. But if you often have days in the 90s or higher, I would recommend that you get an AC unit with a higher BTU rating, even if you are only cooling a small space. Conventional window air conditioners are not allowed where we live (so I'm grateful for this type of AC unit), but if they are an option for you, they are much, much more efficient than portable ACs.

UPDATE: After just a couple of months, the unit completely quit working, so I've lowered my rating from three stars to one.

Don't know what the other bad reviewers are talking about. I got my unit today and it works fine. Put it in the computer room and set the temperature to 75 and in less than 20 minutes the room was cold.

There are five modes: Cooling (AC), Heating, Dry (dehumidifier), Fan & Auto mode. Only the Cooling mode blows cold air and you need to set the machine to it first. Unless the other one-star reviewers actually have a defective unit I assume they are not setting the machine correct.

Pros: 1. Wheels are smooth and did not scratch my hardwood floor, a concern of mine as this weighs about 40 pounds.

2. Blows cold air in under a minute

3. Has a big handle at the top of the unit for easy rolling PLUS two side handles for easy lifting up and down stairs. Sweet!

4. Simple intuitive user interface and the remote is just as nicely designed, too.

Cons: 1. It's big at 28" high & 16" wide. Imagine a large window mounted AC sideways and this is what you got. I thought it'd be as big as a paper trash bin but it's more like a kitchen trash can.

2. The hose from the back of the machine to the window is huge. The machine itself is sleek but the hose going to window won't win any beauty contest.

Not a pro or con but it's as loud as every other AC I ever owned, meaning it quickly becomes background static after a few minutes.

Coclusion: I finally bought a portable AC because come summertime I hated the fact that I lose a window, and sunlight, in the computer room and bedroom. I'm glad I picked this up and my sister is getting one for her home, too.

Just received this item & it is WONDERFUL!!! It was easy to set up, just a few screws, & was ready to go. I ordered this fireplace & also the Heat Surge Mini to help heat up our living room & TV room at night & save on fuel & it really helps, in fact the furnace doesn't run as much so the rest of the house is cooler! Was easy to assemble, just attach the casters, drawer handle & 2 screws to the fireplace insert & good to go!!! Took me 30 minutes, tops. I would definitely recommend this fireplace to anyone looking to help save on fuel! Is also very pretty to look at, mantle & the flames are VERY realistic!!! UPDATE (3-18-13): This heater has been a God send this winter. Not only has it helped with our fuel oil cost, but we live in an old farm house. Our furnace is almost 20 yrs old & has given us trouble all winter. It manages to go our in the middle of the night & during a blizzard. Our driveway is 1/8 of a mile & we depend on someome else to clean it. Wake up at 3:30 in the morning & it's 60 in the house. Kick on the heater & with in 30 min it's up to 70. Powerful little heater!!

We received this heater as a wedding gift in 2008. We use it intermittently in the fall and spring to heat up our cold bathroom before washing our kids. When I unplugged it the other night the cord was extremely hot and the area around the prongs was burned. The heater had been on for less than an hour. If this was plugged in near a carpet or curtain it would have caught on fire. I agree that it is loud too, but my babies loved the white noise.

Best Deals for Mr. Heater Big Maxx 45,000 BTU Natural Gas Garage Unit Heater

We used an unvented natural gas heater in our garage for several years. With many more cold days this past winter, we began having concerns with the excess amount of moisture and condensation produced by non-venting. Having already roughed-in the electrical and thermostat wiring for a unit heater when the garage was built, we decided it was time to switch to a vented heater.

We looked at the Modine and Big Maxx heaters and selected the Big Maxx 45 when it went on sale for $399 at Northern Tool. We ordered the heater and had it shipped to a store in our area to avoid shipping charges. The heater arrived much quicker that we anticipated. Our original plan was to install the heater sometime during the summer and be ready for next winter. The next weekend was nice weather so we decided to go ahead and install the Big Maxx.

Since the heater needed to mount at a 45 degree angle to the room, we mounted unistrut channel to the ceiling joists and mounted the heater thereto. We used category I gas vent from Lowe's. Installation was simple and straight forward. Then we turned the heater on.

The induced draft motor made a LOT of noise and vibration. Then the blower fan came on and you needed hearing protection to stay in the room. In the bedroom above the garage, it actually sounded like someone was running a couple of hammer drills. Being an engineer, I inspected both blowers to see why they vibrated so badly. The induced draft blower had a nice looking squirrel cage blower but the shaft hole was drilled off center. The next day we took the heater down, boxed it up and returned it to Northern as defective.

Next we ordered a Modine heater. Installation was a little more complicated because we already had the hole in the wall for the vent. We mounted this heater slightly differently to take advantage of the existing hole. This heater required Category III venting for our installation so we ordered Z-Vent online. The Modine heater is quiet as a mouse. As they say, "you get what you pay for".

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater Big Maxx 45,000 BTU Natural Gas Garage Unit Heater

I'm writing this review because I was pricing one of these out for my buddy with a smaller garage and came across some negative reviews. Yes, the device does not come with a $10.00 thermostat you can buy either here or @ the HD. It also requires you to buy a venting kit which you can either buy here, at the HD, or custom make one ensuring you are using the correct schedule piping for your region.

I'm not sure why people are having such issues with the electronics on these heaters. I live in the depths of cold hell of Central Minnesota. I've been fortunate to have great success with my Hamilton. I've had it installed for 6 years now with no issues. Just do your homework before you slap this thing up thinking it's just a replacement dryer or stove. There are electrical, venting, and gas considerations you must make prior to plumbing and wiring this thing to your homes gas and electrical services. You're most likely adding something to your home that wasn't "stock", therefore, you have to take into consideration the below:

If you wire the appliance correctly, you probably wouldn't have boards frying on you. You need to ensure you have a direct home run right from the electrical panel to the furnace via a 14/2 AWG wire and a dedicated 15 A circuit then a GFCI to prevent surges in the electrical and basic light switch in front of the electrical circuit to the heater to turn the device off in the summer. It may sound like overkill, but all of about $25.00 in electrical protection is a heck of a lot cheaper than fried electronics. It also wouldn't hurt to turn that breaker off in the summer months to prevent surges and lightning strikes. Follow the instructions on the side panel for "summerizing" the heater prior to turning it off for the season and you're good.

I chose to install mine via 12/2 AWG wire, a 20 A circuit breaker, a GFCI and a basic light in front of the electrical circuit to the heater switch to prevent surges in the electrical and to turn it off in in the summer months. It may sound like overkill, but all of about $25.00 in electrical protection is a heck of a lot cheaper than fried electronics. I did it this way because I branched the 20 A circuit to add an outlet for my LCD TV, Stereo, shop lights, chest freezer, and an occasional box fan. Those combined don't draw more than 10 A for the combined extras, leaving me 10 A just for a heater that only draws 3 A nominal, so I figured I was safe. Again, follow the instructions on the side panel for "summerizing" the heater prior to turning it off for the season and you're good.

The second piece is to ensure you are not over-delivering Gas pressure to the unit's Smart valve. If you have too much gas from the high side of your home's gas feed without a pressure regulator @ the heater you will fry the regulator on the furnace because it's working too hard to restrict the gas and can be very dangerous to your well being. If you're running on the low side of your gas feed which is already regulated, but not enough gas, the regulator on the furnace will run low and run ineffectively. That means you have too many appliances connected to that already regulated gas branch and need to have a professional install a gas regulator dedicated just for the heater on the high side of your home's gas feed.

Your best bet for the gas is to have a professional install the gas line for you to ensure you are receiving the proper gas inlet pressure @ the heater to avoid burning out your Smart Valve. Any licensed fireplace installer would be more than willing to help you do this for a fair price. The total job will cost you around $600-$750 dollars and it'll be code and work for years to come.

Hope this review helps!!

I was really disappointed since we haven't even had it 4 months and didn't even use it all the time. Definitely not worth the money we paid for it.

So as a warning for anyone still willing to buy this: DO NOT LEAVE IT UNATTENDED, EVEN WHILE SLEEPING OR STEPPING OUTSIDE FOR A FEW MINUTES!

I have a 600 square foot (3-car) garage with 12 foot high ceilings, and this heater has been a great addition. My garage has insulated and finished walls, but several windows and drafty garage doors (that's my next project!), so it's not particularly easy to heat. Running for about 15 minutes per hour, this heater warms my garage by about 30 degrees which is fine for my needs. It's also possible to run just the fan, giving me some much needed air circulation, even when the temperatures aren't cold.

Construction quality is about average for this type of unit. It's somewhat plain and industrial looking, but after all, it is intended for a garage. The controls are simple an on/off switch for the fan, and then a basic thermostat to regulate the temperature. If you like, you can wire it into a remote thermostat instead of using the built in temperature regulator. It can be tilted within a limited range, but the mounting isn't really all that flexible...I might have preferred one on some sort of swiveling mount so as to be able to direct the heat where I want it.

Still, it more than meets my needs. When it clicks on, it is indeed very warm in the vicinity of the heater, and in just a few minutes, my entire garage warms up. Temperatures tend to vary quite a bit with distance from the fan...in fairness, two smaller (5KW) units would have probably heated my garage more evenly, but I didn't want to give up that much ceiling space.

I didn't have the required 40A circuit nearby, so I paid a professional electrician about $300 to run the line and install the heater. The installation went smoothly and there were no issues getting it running.

I'm tempted to keep the thermostat set to about 50 degrees and to let it run continuously, although I'm afraid of the electricity cost. In my area, electricity is about 12 cents per KWH, so if the heater runs 15 minutes per hour, it can be as much as $6 per day to operate this heater. Where I live, that would probably only be an issue during the very coldest days...otherwise, I think the average cost will be more like $1 or $2 per day. Still, it's worth giving some thought to what the cost might be if you're on a tight budget, and of course, you can always simply shut it off, put it on some type of timer or spend a little more time insulating your garage.

Above my garage is living space, and until now, it's always been cold and chilly. Heating the garage has had the benefit of helping keep the room above notably warmer. I can hear it running from inside the house, which is about my only complaint. Otherwise, it's a fine unit for the price.

Definitely recommended.

We purchased this for our new house, and it delivers! We have warm, dry towels (not hot, not mildewy) when we reach for them every morning. We put it on a plug-in timer so it only runs an hour before we need to use it and another hour or so after, and we've had nothing but clean, dry towels. We hard-wired ours and mounted it on the wall, and it looks clean and classy and works great. This is also a great size--don't be convinced by bigger-is-better--there are plenty of rungs and we fold our towels twice and they work great. We liked it so much we got one for our kids--four towels, clean and dry. Good value, great product.

I bought this towel warmer after about a year of contemplating whether this would fit in my small bathroom. Amazon was running a terrific sale so for the price, under $100, it is hard to beat. Installation was fairly easy (I have mine plugged in). Most important, it does warm my towels. Although it's not a hot as I expected it to be. The satin nickel finish is cheap looking and the adhesive used for the stickers on the rails removed part of the finish when I took them off. Overall for the price I am happy with my purchase.

I've had this experience before a quality US brand gets taken over by a Chinese maker, they cost reduce it and turn it into an inferior product. The picture is of the US made Warmrails that is NOT what you will get no welded seams, painted NOT satin nickel. The rails were loose on the one I received. It says "UL" on it but I doubt the new model was really approved from what I know about UL requirements.

DON'T TRUST ANY REVIEW WRITTEN BEFORE 2009 IT WAS A DIFFERENT PRODUCT!

They do get warm and do the job, and the price is lower than most of the other brands. CAVEAT EMPTOR.

Honest reviews on Jerdon HSRC Warmrails Regent Wall Mounted Towel Warmer, 25.25-Inches

I purchased this towel warmer about 3 years ago and made it a permanent fixture in my newly renovated bathroom. I was so excited about the price and functionality. But my excitement turned into rage when the fixture started rusting and became an eyesore! The chrome is coming off at cleaning and it looks disgusting!!! I am so upset with this purchase because it required drilling holes in my beautiful italian tiles. I would love to remove it, but the thought of the tiles that were "damaged" due to the rack installation makes my heart cry. DO NOT MAKE IT A PERMANENT FIXTURE that involves drilling holes in the tiles or you will be devastated once the product starts to wear out pretty quickly..

Purchasing this unit is the greatest thing I could have done for my bathroom. NO more musty smelling towels, and always dry for after a shower. The unit is hot, but certainly not burning to the touch, and DON'T expect it to create "Dryer warm" towels, just dry, clean smelling towels. I want to put one in the other bathroom, once I can figure out how to run electricity to that point.

BTW, mine was hardwired, and it looks perfect, like it really belongs there.
