We purchased and received this machine about a month ago from Amazon.com. Since then we've enjoyed using it. Set up was a breeze...nothing difficult to assemble. We wiped everything down to sanatize it and popped our first batch. While our first batch as decent...we had quite a few unpopped kernals (we didn't use enough oil) and have had to refine our technique a bit. The machine itself seems to be of decent quality for $200 bucks. It's worked just fine and we have absolutely no complaints at this point.

This is what we've learned in the past month that may be of use to others. If you don't use enough oil you'll end up with a lot of unpopped kernals. We use about 4 TABLESPOONS of oil with 1 cup of popcorn and it seems to be the perfect combination. One cup of popcorn weighs about 7 ounces and that's the perfect amount for my wife and I.....yes we do love popcorn. If you're not as much into popcorn as we are....you could probably give a nice treat to 4 or 5 people with one cup of unpopped corn and 4 tablespoons of oil.

One thing we'd highly suggest is that you use a product called "Flavacol" which is basically butter flavored salt. You add it right to the oil in the pot before adding the popcorn. We used about a level TEASPOON for one cup of unpopped popcorn and it was about right for us. It's the product that two movie theaters use that we asked....that's how we found out about it. It definately does give your popcorn that "movie theatre taste" we all know and love. We couldn't find Flavacol around town here....so we found you can order it from Amazon or Ebay or probably a number of other places as well. It's cheap...so no worries about the cost.

Buy this machine and go forth and enjoy !

Popcorn tastes as good as the machine looks. It is really an afordable way to go for a small store, church or such. We had used it at our local church for family video showings. We also used it for Bible school events. It has held up well and still looks great. It is very easy to use and clean.

I read the reviews for this and other 8 oz popcorn machines and decided that this popcorn machine would be a good value for the money. I think I was wrong. The first issue is with the drop down door, when opening the glass doors, it always falls off of the 2 little slots for it. Maybe I can install a couple of hinges to hold it in place. The second issue is with the kettle itself. It doesn't fit the 2 brackets hanging down very well. Also, the lids on the kettle flip up and do not fall back down as the popcorn is popping and about half of the kernals come out without popping. It may also be the depth of the kettle (it isn't much deeper than the 4 oz popper I had before this), I don't know. If I was using cheap popcorn, I would blame that, but I use the Gold Medal 8 oz packets.

I was hoping to make movie night more fun and making the popcorn less of a chore but in the end, I believe the 4 oz machine was easier to use and considering the amount of popcorn actually popped, was less time consuming. It's too bad really, I had high hopes that this was going to work for my family. The kids were able to use the last one we had but this one is too much trouble for them to even mess with. For the $225 (with shipping) I spent, I can't say I could recommend this model to anyone else.

This machine is exactly what I hoped, very well constructed easy to use, instructions were very Helpful especially with regards to the cleaning. I thought the cleaning would be horrible, but it is actually not bad.

The popcorn tastes great, we have been using the pre packaged 8 oz all in one packs from Great Northern....

Really pleased, really can't say enough good stuff about the machine and how well it operates !

We play poker every weekend at our house. We thought this would be the perfect item to have for snack while we played. So far (1 month) it has been the greatest. The house smells like popcorn when the players arrive and the taste is unbelievable. We make two batches and it fills 10 adults for 3 hours of playing. I would recommend this for the home theater.

The Amba Sirio Towel Warmer looks great and heats the towels in about 45 minutes to a nice cozy temperature. This is the second Amba Siro Towel Warmer I installed so it went very smoothly. Due to the location the warmer was rotated 90 degress so the top is 21 inches wide, it looks great and does a surperb job of warming the towels. This towel warmer replaced one that was not nearly as effective.

This is the third electric mattress pad we have had and it is by far my favorite. I bought it because of the auto-off feature. My spouse is not so good about remembering to turn it off and now I don't have to check it.

We use the European style of bedding: a comforter with a duvet cover and no top sheet. Making the bed literally takes a few seconds. However, this set-up is impossible with electric blankets, so we use the electric mattress pads. The first one had very noticeable wires. Now we are not "Princess and a Pea" people, but it was not comfortable. It had to be on for at least 15 minutes to feel any heat. Still, we used it for many years. Later I replaced it with a better one. Still, the wires were uncomfortable and it was slow to heat. I put an additional mattress pad on top of the heated one to make it more comfortable, which probably reduced the heat even further, but it cushioned the wires.

This model is really great. I do not feel any wires at all. It heats very quickly. Turn it on PH and it preheats at the top setting for 30 minutes, then goes to what you had it set at.

The only thing I don't like about this is that the plug in is on the top (horizontal)foot of the bed instead of on the (vertical) side. Our feet hit a hard plate. It is not unpleasant, it will just take some time to get used to it. You also have to plug the unit in on an outlet that is on the right side of the bed for the controllers to properly reach your nightstands. It states that in the instructions, but I wanted to plug it in on the left (my husband's) side as my side's outlet was full. The first time I tried the bed I was unhappy with the heat. I had it on PH and didn't feel it. Then my foot happened to kick over to my husband's side and it was toasty warm. A minute spent moving the plug (and controllers) and it worked fine. Amazing what following the instructions can do.

This product works as shown. It has dual adjustable zones (my wife likes to cook, I merely like to steep) and a nice "preheat" mode that works quickly (turn it on before you brush your teeth, and the bed is warm by the time you get there). We haven't turned on the heat at all this winter, and we would have if we didn't have this.

We have previously owned electric blankets and this is *so* much better. Heat rises, make the most of it!

We've had it about a month so far, and no problems. I was worried whether we should pay a lot more for the more expensive line Amazon offered, but so far I am really happy with how this one turned out.

This is a great product. The preheat function means you don't have to turn it on 30 minutes before bedtime. 5 minutes is plenty for it to warm the bed. Would definitely recommend.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Imperial 140-Thread-Count Polyester Cotton Blend Comfort

I purchased this product last week and it failed out of the box. Sunbeam's heated blanket and mattress pad products have many quality issues. I have purchased 3 within the the last 5 years and they typically will not last more than a single winter. I can guarantee they will not last the 5 year guarantee period. When they quit operating, Sunbeam requires that you ship the blanket to a service center somewhere in the south. After several weeks a blanket is returned to you. Ours was not the blanket shipped. At least the returned blanket was clean. Thanks! I purchased this heated mattresss pad because I thought it might be more durable than the blanket.

Sunbeam used to manufacture quality products that worked well and lasted for years. It's hard to believe this product is still marketed as the "#1 Heated Mattress Pad."

I received this mattress pad heater as a present and it was wonderful for a total of 23 days. It now blinks an error message 'F2' and will not heat up.

After unpacking I found a dent and crease in the upper housing and a corner of the reflector bent up. It requires a separate thermostat to operate (not included) .

I would give 5 stars for the heater, but the included thermostat is JUNK, and Mr. Heater, a long-respected company, is shooting themselves in the foot with this t-stat. Installed in my Denver garage ( 650 sqft), anf it heats very efficiently, but the t-stat, set at 35deg, heats garage to constant 50+ degrees, so I wasted a huge amount of gas trying to just keep things from freezing in the garage until I replaced it, so I recommend not even using their t-stat, but having a quality part handy when you install it. Otherwise, it's a great heater, may even consider one in LP for our mountain cabin.

Vicks V4500 FilterFree Humidifier Reviews

Vicks V4500 FilterFree Humidifier
Customer Ratings: 2 stars

OK, I have had this humidifier for about two months now. Make sure you are aware of the requirements of a filter-free humidifier before you buy one. First of all, I couldn't stand having a filtered humidifier. Constantly having to buy filters, they'd be out of stock at Target, unavailable for my brand at the supermarket, just too annoying, and honestly, they're several bucks every time. Why can't I just clean my own humidifier?

So here's the thing. If you opt to go filter free, read the documentation. I think a lot of the negative reviewers here aren't following the instructions... you have to clean your humidifier ONCE A WEEK. Some people are reporting, 'I have had my humidifier for a month and it's starting to stink.' Well, have you cleaned it four times since you've had it?

And yes, I would say, it's a bit of stretch to call this whisper quiet. Like any device running while you're trying to sleep, you're going to hear it. And when you're lying down trying to fall asleep, anything can sound like a freight train. But yes, I would not call this whisper quiet. It's just as loud as any other humidifier I've experienced. Being someone who likes to sleep in pitch dark, though, I'd say the very bright on-light is more annoying than the sound. I find the whisping whirr of it quite calming.

And the bottom line here is, I've slept wonderfully since I bought it. I wake up and find that I've been breathing through my nose instead of mouth-breathing like I had been. Because my sinuses are staying open and moistened.

So there you have it. If you want to go filter-free, you're taking on the task of cleaning it. Three quick release screws, soaking the base and intake tube in white vinegar, rinsing, putting it back together.

For me this has worked perfectly for months now, keeping the air in the room with my guitar at just the right humidity. I bought mine elsewhere but have had others and this one works just fine if you know what you are doing and take precautions. Not for every one, but for most, the red / orange is not mold but iron in your water. For most but not all, the white powder is lime in your water. This is a fact of life for many areas of the country and why people use water filters and water softeners. If you are in a problem area, use a Brita pitcher to filter the water you fill it with. I have tried it with our softened water with no problems but we recently got rid of the softener and will soon be switching to truly filtered water for the entire house. Until then I use a filtered water pitcher. All humidifiers have this problem. Even Consumers gave none more then an average rating for this problem. Baking soda, light bleach mixture, special cleaner, or just let it completely dry out once in a while and you, as I am, will probably be happy with the unit. Mine is still running clear and clean. For the money, this one ca't be beaten.

Best Deals for Vicks V4500 FilterFree Humidifier

I would recommended this humidifier. It is pretty quiet, and I have it running all night to humidify the air. I can put the tray in the dishwasher to clean. No filter needed. I am not sure what the negative opinions that I read other readers write are all about. It is not been my experience. Yes, you need to clean it. But you have to clean all humidifiers. This one is easier than others though. It got a great report from Consumers Report, and that has been my experience as well.

Honest reviews on Vicks V4500 FilterFree Humidifier

As so many others have stated, this product is a complete waste of money, and, I believe, a health hazard. If I could give it "0" stars I would. Despite my best efforts to use filtered water, a ProTec cartridge, and disinfect all reachable parts on a weekly basis with vinegar and/or bleach, mold has grown in the motor housing that is impossible to reach in order to properly sanitize this product. After contacting Kaz, I was told the same thing as so many others (I was hoping maybe they had changed their policy), that I would have to send the item back on my own dime, just to receive the same piece of junk as a replacement. Then, once I received the new one, I should "empty all the water from the tank and base (daily). Then run the unit without any water in it for at least 1 hour to dry the fan housing. If you do not want to run the unit without any water I would just remove the fan housing and unscrew the bottom cover and lay the fan housing on its side so it can air dry." Yeah, like I have the time to do that every day with two small children and one on the way. So this humidifier will probably end up in the trash, a waste of $45 + tax.

FYI, in the last couple of weeks I have purchased a Crane humidifier which doesn't require a filter either (unless you have hard water), for less money, and so far I haven't had any issues with it. It does its job perfectly! From now on, I will not be purchasing any more Vicks/Kaz products due to their complete lack of concern that they have sold a health hazard and aren't taking any responsibility to rectify the situation.

I've had this unit for five months and dropped the Protect cartridge in there every month on the 12th to keep it clean. Despite these efforts, it has developed a pink film along with black mold that you can smell when it operates. I'm having trouble breathing. The area that is affected is IMPOSSIBLE to get to in order to clean it even with pressurized air. My unit has also flooded on two occassions destroying everything on my dresser.

I contacted Kaz who makes the unit. They said they would replace it but I'd be out of a unit for 6-8 weeks and I'd have to pay shipping costs. They will not replace it with another unit so I'm sure the same problem will reoccur. I decided to clean the unit the best that I can (this took 2 hours) and use liquid bacteriostatic water treatment instead of the worthless Protect cartridges. I hope this works.

Oil warmer works very well. I bought it because it was one of the few oil warmers that doesn't use a light bulb for heat. It is easy to keep clean and operates at the perfect temperature.

This is a great oil warmer. It looks nice and doesn't use a bulb as the heating mechanism, which means I don't have to worry about replacing one. It also heats up fairly quickly.

Just in case you were wondering about the durability, it is ceramic and will crack if you drop it or it falls off the desk/table/counter (as mine did). However, it still works fine, so this isn't an issue for me.

The one thing I don't like about this warmer is that the power cord is annoyingly short. It is only about 2.5 feet long (maybe less). I wanted to put the warmer on my desk and connect it to the surge protector hidden in the cabinet of my desk, but the cord doesn't even make it halfway there (barely makes it straight to the floor from the edge of the desk). Just make sure that there is an outlet very close to where you want to use this or make sure you have an extension cord available.

I have one of these to heat up a space that is pretty drafty, solid stone little living area. Wood is free on my land (lots of dead trees) but I wanted something that would be positive, not negative for ventilation. (Wood burns, needs air, air goes up chimney, cold outside air comes into house, repeat.). So I put this backed up after sealing the fireplace as soon as the temperature drops enough.

This heater works great. My notes are:

1.) First firing: this will get hot and you'll smell a strange smell. That's normal, you are smelling the coatings used to protect it.

2.) After hooking it up, you *are* going to have air in the line. So be patient with starting as it needs to purge since the pilot uses hardly anything. You only have so much life in that ignitor.

3.) Get the fan unit. It's worth it. The grease in the bearings seems to wear out; after the 3rd year I had to remove it and use some 3-in-1 on the bearing. (barely moving/slow to speed up when cold). So if wall-mounting this, do so with the mindset that in a few years you may need to take it off again.

4.) You *can* make this portable if you get an LP gas regulator (similar to one used on RV's, visit a shop or look online) and good rubber LP hose. Just use common sense and get a length so the tank and hose are not near nor routed near anything where they can get hot.

5.) The feet shouldn't cost that much, but they do, and are flimsy to boot so watch out; don't over-tighten, don't leave them loose, use oversized nylon washers if you got 'em laying around somewhere. After one started to crack I made my own set out of rolling casters and metal legs from an old desk chair that was trash-bound. Bad mold design and brittle (when cold) for lateral movement, could've been avoided with "X" inserts. If you aren't moving it much for cleaning or anything, they'll do.

6.) The ceramic will get brittle with age and moisture. Ceramic is fragile.

7.) If you have a ceiling fan set it to the winter setting, this thing pumps out lots of hot air via convection as well as radiant heat.

8.) If you wall mount this, when not in use my advice is to shut off the gas to it completely (after that, let the pilot run out) and put a cover over it. If portable and disconnected, just throw a large trashbag over/around it and stuff a little bit of plastic in the gas inlet. Mounted or portable, anything to keep moisture, dust, bugs etc. out; spiders will hole up everywhere.

9.) For an idea of fuel usage: I ran this test twice. First for burn-in in a garage, second just for the heck of it the next year. I hooked this up to a 20lb (5 gal) propane tank (filled by someone in front of me, you only get 4 gallons in the "exchange" ones at stores) and let 'er rip till it ran out. I got just a hair under 24 hours of continuous use. At anywhere between $2-$4 per gallon for LP (depending on where you live), you can do the math, but roughly this will be hitting your wallet within the range of $0.75/hr. That's for the 30k BTU, but I don't really think it's truly 30k. Maybe when it's operating in 70f ambient; the ceramics don't really get to optimum temp at *really* cold temperatures.

Definitely worth the price, definitely a solid unit. If you take care of it this will bring warmth into your heart and home for a long time.

On my 4th day with heater set up in a 2,500 sq ft open basement. Heater throws plenty of heat, radiant and convective. This time of year, basement is about 61F with no heat. Most I have run heater is 5 hours at full blast and two thermometers about 8 ft away and out of line of sight (radiant works) registered 70F. I suspect If I left it on "HI" (30,000 btu) and used a fan to circulate air, it would heat the entire basement, (which I don't need) to 70+.

While heater is inexpensive, plumber bill was $545 to hook it to gas line with 20ft of flexible gas hose and all the fittings required, including those to connect to heater. Pilot lit at first "click" and heater operates at three settings: 6,000, 18,000 and 30,000 btu. The settings light independent burner elements and instructions say NOT to try to operate between settings.

Don't buy the advertised feet for floor setting. Gas hookup is vertical thru bottom and extends about 6 inches out of bottom (with required sediment sump and shutoff valve). I used two 8x8x16 concrete blocks ($1.42 each) which work fine for basement.

What instructions don't say is that carbon dioxide (CO2)is a principal product of natural gas combustion. I bought the SUPCO IAQ50 co2 meter(on Amazon) and the Kidde KN-COPP-3 carbon monoxide (CO) meter. Heater may produce CO (a stealth killer)when not burning properly. CO meter has not budged....reading zero at startup and zero 5 hours later. However, carbon dioxide reading went from 465 parts per million (ppm) at startup to 3,668 ppm after 5 hours on highest output. I read on internet OSHA max for residential house is 5,000ppm, 30,000ppm make most sick and 40,000 ppm = get the hell outta there. CO2 meter is about 8 ft from heater, out of line of sight.

According to owner's booklet, water vapor output is about 1 ounce per 1,000 btu of gas input. So, when burning 30,000 btus per hour, you are putting 30 ounces of water into the air per hour. On two separate hygrometers about 8 ft from heater relative humidity at 61F was 40% before start. After 5 hours on HI, it was 50% at 70F. Doesn't bother me because I have a dehumidifier to the side of the heater if I want to bring humidity down.

CO2 is a concern to me. I'll be keeping an eye on the meter (which sounds an alarm if a set ppm is exceeded). I think this heater is too big for a small room, while it heats my office space in an open 2,500 sq ft basement just fine. I turned it off at 70 F because CO2 was over 3,600 ppm and I was warm enough.

JAN 4, 2012 FOLLOW-UP: It was 13F with 20mph wind outside this morning and 58F in basement. Turned heater on full blast when CO2 meter read 456 ppm. Two hours later, office space was 69F with CO2 at 1895 ppm. After 10 hours on highest setting, office space at 71F, CO2 at 3090 ppm. Temp at other end of basement, about 40 feet from heater, is 68F. Water vapor not a problem. Relative humidity at 30% after 10 hours on high. Carbon monoxide meter has not budged off zero. CO2 no longer concerns me. Pilot lights on first click every time. I love this heater for its intended purpose. Now 5 stars from me.

As everyone else said, this thing does its job well....it makes a cold room warm. Peroid. The look of it is much better suited for a garage or workshop not inside a home. (but, of course, this is an opinion)

One thing that is nice to know is that the lowest setting on this uses 7,000 BTU's, so plan accordingly. Get the right size for your room, do not get a larger one just because it is only $20 more or so.

Installation is easy, they give you all the screws, and you can even hang it only on sheetrock if you have no studs available. It only weighs 29lbs or so.

No gas line is included with this, and the input size thread is 3/8".

Honest reviews on World Marketing/Kozy World Model # KWN321 Wall Heater - Natural

I've recently been looking for ways for my family to trim its budget. I bought a few books on weatherproofing your house, and as I read these books I realized that since we moved into an old 3000 square foot house 18 months ago our electricity bills have been through the roof both in the summer and winter months.

Our house actually had 1 gas log natural gas heater, but we needed another one to heat the other side of the house. After a lot of investigation, I chose the Kozy World KWN321 because it had a great price for a vent-free natural gas heater that had a lot of BTUs (30,000). Also, I measured carefully, and it fit perfectly into the other fireplace we had but which had been without a heater in it when we moved in.

We just recently received it and have had a few very cold days (at least cold to us down in Texas). This heater has worked beautifully! It's easy to use, starts putting out heat immediately, and provides heat for a large portion of the house if we leave it on high. It even got the house so warm that I had to turn it down off of high and down to medium, and then low. The 3 different settings allow you to use only as much energy as you want. I haven't had time to check my gas bill yet, but I know it will be a lot cheaper than my electricity bill at this time last year.

The Kozy World KWN321 is a great long-term investment if your house has a place for a vent-free natural gas heater. I highly recommend it, especially if you want to save on your winter energy bills year after year.

I purchased this product after reading several positive, if not quite rave, reviews. I was particularly interested in the ability to regulate the temperature using the thermostat. I was using it to supplement the heat in a large bedroom at my parents home in Chicago during this past, particularly cold, winter.

Set up instructions were adequate. I attached the legs and the casters, re-read the precautions about placement in the room, plugged it in and turned it on. It immediately began heating up. Greatly encouraged, I set the thermostat, stayed in the room for a while and, deciding it was like watching and waiting for a pot of water to boil, I left the room. I waited about 25 minutes and then went back into the room to see how much it had heated the room. I was surprised to find the indicator light on the heater off and no heat being emitted. The room was still very chilly.

I turned the thermostat up thinking that would start the heater again.... nothing.

I turned it to the off position and then on again.... nothing.

I turned the thermostat to it's highest possible temperature setting.... nothing.

I tried turning it on and off at both heat level wattage settings.... nothing.

I unplugged it and replugged it and turned it on again... nothing.

I checked to be sure it had not tripped the circuit breaker.... it had not.

I unplugged it, waited a while longer to see if, after completely cooling down, it would start again... nothing.

Simply put, this product just stopped working within an hour of first plugging it in.

I sent it back to Amazon for a refund, drove over to Home Depot and bought a portable heater that their manager recommended. It worked just fine.

I ordered this product to supplement the heating in our 5th wheel RV, especially at night. Sorry folks but it doesn't cut it. It is 29 outside and now only 63 only a few inches in front of and above the heater. I was hoping for more but I got less. Such is life.

I have had this heater for a month-and-a-half, and I am very pleased with it. I had hoped it would heat the whole area (a basement apartment-in-progress), which it does not. But what it does do is to heat whatever/whoever is in front of it. It feels like sitting in front of a fireplace! Toasty warm, although it does limit how far away from it you can get. Before getting the Optimus H-8408, I had a different type of heater that was also rated for large rooms. IT DID NOTHING, except make a lot of noise (fan-forced type heater). The Optimus is SILENT, and good value for the money. Don't expect it to work miracles, especially if it is your ONLY source of heat, but it certainly has kept me happy through January and the first half of February in an unfinished basement!

I agree, not the hottest thing on the planet but gets the job done. And it doesn't complain. Maybe others got defective products from manufacture, but mine works great.
