Where do I begin? This heater is no heater at all. We bought it when our 30 year old wood heater became a hazard. Ordered it from our local lumber company. It does not heat 100sq. ft. much less 600 to 1000. The stay clear glass immediately became covered with soot and within one week the "Z" bar, baffle support fell out. Unable to get a response from the company during the holidays, we continued to try to heat with it. After a couple weeks, they finally called us back, and told us the airflow was affected due to the bar being out, and to just pop it back in. Finally got it back in, only to find it still did not heat well. After about three weeks it is out again. Just fell out while heater was in use. Not being loaded or wood being moved at all. I opened the door to find it lying in the opening. Am in the process to see if I have any recourse or any possibility of a refund!

I've been heating with this stove in Northern MI for two years and for the price it heats as well as stoves that cost three times as much. I should know, my parents both heat with Lopi stoves that are quite pricey in their 2 houses both similar in size to ours. While it doesn't heat the full 1700 sq ft of our house, it keeps the core area around the stove nice and warm and spreads at least a reasonable amount of heat throughout the house to knock off the chill in the distant areas. I would suggest burning only nicely seasoned hardwood in this stove as softwood and even softer hardwoods don't put out the heat. We burn red oak exclusively and can keep the core of our home, which is a 1930's farmhouse, between 65-75 even on bitterly cold winter days. One final suggestion, make sure you follow the chimney guidelines to the letter and install the minimum of 15 ft of chimney above the stove as if you cut corners with it the stove will not draft correctly and won't heat up to it's intended levels. I'd recommend this stove to anyone who wants a good, solid wood stove at a good price.

We purchased this wood stove a few months ago and are very disappointed. The blower is so loud you cant just sit and listen to the fire ( even on the lowest setting). The damper design does not let enough air to the fire so we have to leave the door cracked and cant leave the room and the gasket already fell off and had to be replaced. Do not get this stove. Also it would be nice to have a ash box.

Honest reviews on Vogelzang TR003 Highlander EPA Wood Stove

While the stove itself is great (owned it for the last 4-5 years) the blower heater has not worked properly for the last 3-4 years. It is terrible. When it does run it makes a terrible noise and only one of the fans works. We have taken it apart and cleaned it etc. to no avail.

We have this stove in a 600 sf room, and it hardly keeps the room warm. The opening is so small it's hard to get wood into. This stove was certainly a waste of money.

You forget how important something as basic as a clothes dryer is...until it stops working. Like many people, I don't keep a pile of cash around to replace major appliances; neither can I afford the cost of repairmen. So I went looking for the new heater assembly locally, and I quickly learned two things: it was ridiculously expensive; and it was on back-order everywhere! I searched Amazon, found it readily available, at a fraction of the cost. Installation was a breeze, and the dryer was back in action in no time! I would recommend this to anyone!!

Our heater coil broke & quit heating. Instead of the buying the coil, I opted to get the whole assembly, instead of having to try to get the new coil spring mounted in there. I'd do it again. I'm no appliance repairman, so I take the easier way out. Even if it costs a few $. And it's been working fine for a couple of months now.

Like the other reviewer, about three months after installation, we found that our white towels had brown burn marks from where they made contact with the rail. The on/off switch stopped working about six months after installation and the unit now gets too hot for it to be safely used. It has become an expensive towel rack. When contacted, manufacturer acknowledged the two year warranty but suggested we get a rheostat to control the heat level upon reinstallation of the replacement unit, which suggested that they weren't confident that it was an isolated incident. I don't know about you, but if a product works as it is supposed to, why would you suggest the purchase of what amounts to a "safety switch?" In fairness, it looks good on the wall.

I liked the look and the size of the towel warmer and how easy it was to assemble and mount on the wall. I left a dry towel on the warmer for 20 minutes and I was a little disappointed by the lack of heat in the towel for the price. I am not sure if there is a limit to how much heat you can add before you hit a "danger zone" but the towel never made it to that point.not even close. Without having another one to compare I gave this one 3 stars...-2 for lack of higher heat to suit me.

Honest reviews on Pearl 8 Bar Wall Mount Electric Towel Warmer Finish: Bright

I love having warm towels after each shower, even on warm days. What I liked about this product is that it heats fast, and is very hot. I picked this one in particular because it is actual chrome, unlike others I've seen at local stores where it is just painted to look like brushed silver or chrome but it is actually plastic or something else. It also works like a radiator (yes, it will warm up the room too like an oil or water filled radiator). I like that silent, quiet heat that softly warms up the bathroom. The cons: it burns. I accidentally touched it with the sensitive skin of the wrist to get a pretty bad burn, still have the mark 3 months later. It also burns/marks the towels so I can't keep them for too long or avoid using this with your fancy favorite ones, and I would not use it for drying clothing at all (it has no thermostat just on or off but you can purchase one separately I just know that i personally would not use it other than on its highest setting). Another issue is getting the towels wrapped around each bar for maximum exposure to the heat (i.e., making them warmer), I would avoid doing it while the warmer has been on for a while as it will burn, but it helps make the towels warmer. But overall, I like that it works. If it was not hot it would not heat the towels enough.

This towel warmer worked fabulous for about one year then it just stopped heating up. Contacted the manufacturer and they said it's the internal wiring and it can't be fixed.

I ordered the mini-fridge for my office for days when I bring lunch from home. It is a great size and fit well on my desk. Unfortunately, after about 2 weeks, it stopped getting very cold. Then it stopped staying cold. After about 6 weeks, it stopped getting cold at all. Needless to say, I was not pleased. When I contacted the seller to return the item, I was told curtly that the warranty for this product is only 30 days, and I had not contacted Amazon until nearly 2 months (!!) after the purchase, so it could not accept the return. After I pressed the point, the seller not-so-subtly implied that I had broken the item, as these types of items typically last for years, and again that it could not accept the return. If you're looking for a mini-cooler that actually keeps things cold (or a seller that is interested in making customers happy), look for another product!

I bought this as a gift for my mother in December 2011 to place in her bedroom and it ran good during the time she had it. Then in August 2012 (8 1/2 months later) it overheated (on cool) and caught fire.

If she weren't at home it would have set fire to her wooden nightstand she had it on then catch flame to her bed then her room and possibly the whole house. Even if she weren't in the room at the time it started it could have done substantial damage.

Luckily she was in the room and heard crackling and smelled smoke and quickly unplugged the unit.

The entire side where the plug goes into the refrigerator was completely melted.

A safety issue and I would not recommend this product to my worst enemy

Just right to help keep your drinks cold over short periods of time at your desk. It's still a fridge (of a different sort) so don't be unreasonable and expect it to not make any noise. Also keep in mind that the heat this removes from the inside compartment has to come right back out into your room. It would be perfect if the inside compartment were an inch taller, then it would accommodate most plastic bottles as well. You can usually fit one in there if you put it in diagonally, but it's just BARELY too short to slide in normally. Heartbreaking.

I placed the order on July 3rd. It shipped the same day and showed a delivery date of July 11 to July 26th. Imagine my surprise when the mail lady delivered it on July 7th.

I was worried to buy this because there were no reviews on it yet. I used it today for the first time and I could not be more happy with it. It says not to fill milk past the froth indicator line inside the pitcher, I know why now. It creates the most thick rich froth that you can imagine all the way to the top of the pitcher. After you pour the heated milk out (which by the way is heated to 150 degrees checked with thermometer)you will have to spoon out the froth because it is so thick. I gave it 5 stars because it does exactly what it describes it will do. The only thing negative that I could possibly say is that I do think that steamed milk and froth is sweeter in flavor than just heated milk and froth. I make caramel macchiatos at least twice a day for my wife and myself so we do a lot of frothing. This frother will make this super thick froth in around 2 min or so and then automatically shuts off too cool. I wait till it shuts off and then hit the espresso button on our espresso machine and then pour the heated milk, add the espresso and top with that thick froth decorate with the caramel and kick back. I thought at first this was going to be an expensive learning adventure but now I am very happy to have bought it. It also will make thick heated and frothed hot chocolate.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Who says you can't have it all? You can have your hot chocolate and your cappuccino too with this handy, convenient little machine. I'm no Einstein when it comes to operating appliances but this gadget is easy to operate and produces the most delicious hot and cold drinks you can imagine. The frothing mechanism is unbelievable. Now I can have my cappuccino without having to pay a king's ransom to Starbucks. In addition, it's easy to clean and that's a real plus in my book. Anyone who has ever had to deal with cleaning some of those razor sharp "jig-saw puzzle" pieces you see on a lot of appliances (my blender has been known to attack) will just love the safe, user friendly frothPRO parts.

And speaking of safety, there will be no burned lips and tongue with this little machine. It has three button settings and has the ability to control the temperature of your hot chocolate by just pushing the right hand button if you just want it WARM instead of HOT. Another plus is that you can froth your milk without the heat if ICED lattes are your drink of choice. Overall, this would be an excellent addition to your kitchen or a great gift for newlyweds who love cappuccino, latte or any hot or cold coffee drinks but can't afford those "Coffee house" prices.

Now that I've listed all the pros, let me add a couple of cons.

#1 The machine is a little pricey at the sixty dollars.

($ 35 to $40 would be a much fairer price). The machine

is a simple mechanism and made in China so there can

be no excuse like "union wages" to justify the $60 price

tag.

#2 The power cord could have been a little longer to provide

more options as to where it can be plugged in.

#3 Be careful not to touch the BOTTOM of the milk pitcher

once you have heated your milk and removed it from

the heating base and DO NOT set it down on a laminate

surface (like formica) because that baby is really HOT

and can leave a burn mark.

For performance and ease of operation this product falls into the 4 to 5 star range. The pricing, etc. rate 2 ½ to 3 stars. Overall rating 3 ½ stars.

Best Deals for Capresso frothPRO

I am so happy I bought this machine! I have a DeLonghi espresso maker, and it makes great espresso, but the milk frother on my machine is a joke. In looking for a better milk frothing solution, I tried Aerolatte machines, but I wasn't satisfied with their weak results either. Luckily, I stumbled onto this device.

To be clear, I was seeking out very thick, creamy, meringue-like froth. My espresso machine and the Aerolatte made foam with bubbles far too large to support this type of froth, so I was skeptical when I saw that this machine advertised "meringue-like frother," yet works on pretty much the same principle as an Aerolatte frother. Nevertheless, I decided to try it out, and on its first run, it gave me exactly what I was looking for: mounds of soft, pillowy forthed milk that looked more like whipped cream or meringue. I was also left with just enough steamed milk at the bottom of the pitcher to make my cappuccino.

Making frothed milk with this machine couldn't be easier: add cold milk, put on the lid, and press a button. A few minutes later, the machine automatically shuts down when it's done. As I said, you're left with mounds of perfect frothed milk, and just enough steamed milk to finish your drink. The pitcher has a nonstick surface, so cleanup is pretty simple and doens't take much time.

My only complaint is that it's a bit difficult to remove the frothing disk from the bottom of the pitcher, and the instructions don't provide any guidance or tips. My technique is to reach down underneath the disk and just pry up one side until it pops off. The disk is quite firmly connected to the pitcher and is made of thin plastic, so it doesn't seem like the best design. Like a previous reviewer, I was initially scared that I might break the disk, but it hasn't happened yet, so maybe it's more rugged than it looks. There's a little tab that sticks up from the center of each disk--it looks like it's for gripping the disk, but I didn't have any luck removing it that way. Another complaint is that the disk-mounting assembly sticking up at the bottom center of the pitcher is like a little needle! I got a pretty bad poke when figuring out how to attach and remove the disks, and, again, I didn't see any warning in the instruction book.

Overall, however, these are very minor complaints, and I'm more than satisfied with this unit. It is a bit pricey for such a specialized machine, but if you'd otherwise be buying your coffee at a coffee shop, you'll make up the cost of the machine and then some in no time!

Honest reviews on Capresso frothPRO

This frother was great while it worked... easy to use, great frothy milk, quiet.

After three months, it just stopped working. Their customer service department insisted I return the broken frother before they would send a replacement... understandable if this was an expensive coffee maker but much less customer-friendly for a less expensive appliance which broke so quickly.

I asked to speak to a manager to see if the policy could be waived (I'd return the broken frother in the box they sent, they could even charge me while I held both). Seemingly annoyed at being bothered, the manager practically berated me for asking and, literally, mocked my speech before unapologetically telling me "this is how it is".

My previous coffee maker was Capresso with which I had quality problems (returned twice) and I've also given two other Capresso products as gifts (this Frother and a coffee maker) which both subsequently broke. Clearly, I like their products but, more clearly, they have a big quality control problem.

With such quality problems and horrible customer service, I will no longer purchase Capresso products.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Capresso frothPRO

I liked this product so much that when the frother stopped working, I ordered a replacement machine. Only later did I discover that I did not need the $60 replacement, only the $6 replacement cup. The cup has a pivot point that the magnetized frothing disk rides on. This wears down with time. No where in the literature is this mentioned as a solution when frothing fails to happen. I am disappointed that no one suggested this solution, I would have saved over 50 bucks, but I am happy with the machine.

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 electric fireplace/heater was great until it completely fell apart under its own heat. It lasted about 2 or 3 weeks and then I noticed something looked wrong. I opened the door to investigate and the back plate had fallen forward. When I opened the door, the door is connected to a side plate and the whole thing just came off. When I looked at what had happened, I realized that underneath the exterior which is made to look like metal there is this stuff that looks like recycled cardboard. The heat just broke it down. And it just tore loose. When I tried to turn it over to find the serial number which the seller had requested, the fake logs that were on the bottom fell out. The whole thing just seemed to disintegrate from its own heat. The seller was decent and gave a refund and they will make the effort themselves of dealing with the manufacturer who did not readily respond. I have been buying through Amazon for over a decade and have never had a bad experience before. I have never had to return anything before. This is a completely defective product. I would not have given it one star but that is the lowest rating allowable.

I initially bought a used Dimplex DS5629 on eBay. It was shipped in the original packaging via FedEx. When it arrived, a leg was broken and the mirror inside had exploded -glass everywhere including in my finger. The seller was kind enough to give a total refund. After that experience, I warily ordered another new unit from Ozbo on Amazon Marketplace. I chose the seller because of price and proximity figuring that the less far it had to go, the less chance for trauma. I received the item promptly, again via FedEx, and actually witnessed the driver take the item off the truck, slinging the box upside down over his shoulder and then almost sitting it down on its side in my garage. My heart sank even though there was no external damage to the box. When I took the item out of the box, I was relieved to see that it grossly looked fine except that the logset was slightly disloged. I set it up in the bedroom and repositioned the logset. It worked perfectly. Settling back in a chair to enjoy the show, I noticed that there was an asymetrical reflection off the mirror. So I opened the door and noted that the mirror, which is held in place by grooves in the sides of the cabinet, was partially dislodged. This was because one of the sides of the cabinet was slightly displaced outwards at its top. The fact that two screws that hold the sides to the front top metal bracket were never put in might have contributed. So I carefully relocated the mirror into its grooves and pushed the side of the cabinet back into place, securing it with the missing screws in the front and further beefing up cabinet integrity by adding angle brackets between the cabinet sides and top on the inside of the cabinet. So now everything is secure and looks as it should.

There is no beef with the cosmetics of this item. It looks great, the heater works well, and the flame effect is outstanding. However had the mirror been totally disloged, this unit would have also been toast. This manufacturer needs to beef up cabinet integrity and/or packing and needs to VERY prominently display "Fragile" and "This Side Up" on the outside of the box so that FedEx won't sling it around like a sack of potatoes.

I ordered this item because it was lauded as better and heavier duty than others on Amazon that look very similar. It was more than twice the price. When it came, it had come apart in the box and we almost threw away small parts. We found them and my husband put it back together, but it keeps coming apart and now we've lost a screw that is what holds one of the sides on, because it was black and tiny and got swept up with the ashes. It's much lighter than I expected and my husband is going to have to spend considerable time figuring out how to repair it in some way that it will stay together. I would NOT recommend this product. I also ordered several other Minuteman Int. items and have been disappointed with them as well. They're lightweight and cheap--but cost more than most other brands. It came with a bright gold "Made in China" sticker. It lived up to the stereotype of cheap imitation crap. Sorry for the language, but it's a fact. I know that some quality products are imported from China, but this one is one of the reasons for the negative stereotype.

I was very hesitant to purchase this vacuum because of the bad reviews. Glad I didn't listen and went for it. This vacuum DOES NOT have a suction problem! I am fairly confident the issue is people don't read and comprehend the user manual. The problem comes down to TWO fill lines on the water tank. The fill line on the front (which is easy to see) is the water line when you must EMPTY the water tank. The real water fill line for normal vacuum operation is on the back of the water tank and is harder to see. The water fill line on the back is about 1-2 gallons less water than the one on the front. I did an experiment and the more full the water tank, the less suction power (makes sense as more water in the tank means it is harder to pull air through the system). When the proper amount of water is used (or even a little less to cheat) this thing has great suction!

Biggest positive:

1 Water filtered vacuum is awesome. This allows for almost zero dust being expelled from the vacuum. No longer do I get "allergy nose" after I vacuum for an hour or so.

As much as I like this product, I can't give it 5 stars.

Drawbacks:

1 The canister is pretty large and heavy. I could not imagine my grandmother using this vacuum.

2 Wish the wand was a little longer or adjustable. I'm 6ft and need to bend a bit.

3 The lid on the water tank doesn't have a latch, if the canister ever flips over you are going to have a mess on your hands.

This machine is great for hardwood floors, tile floors, flat carpeting, cleaning upholstery, steam cleaning rugs/carpets and auto interiors....when used correctly! 1)Never rely on "air-driven" turbo-brushes, regardless of the make/model! 2)Read instructions thoroughly and make sure when vacuuming to use the water fill-line in the back of the water filtration container 3)You can remove the HEPA filter in the front of the machine if you like; this will create more air-flow, thus increasing your suction and cleaning ability/power! (the water in the container and the hepa filter in the back of the machine are more than enough filtration!)

4)If you know you will be vacuuming around baby changing table or anywhere body powders are applied, add 3 tablespoons of mineral oil to the water because baby powder/body powder cannot get wet....the oil will "grab" the powder and keep it in the water filtration container! 5)Never use more cleaning solution than directed when doing "wet" cleaning! 6)Even without the turbo brush, this machine will probably pick-up more dirt than regular vacuums because it never loses it's air-flow, which is the true ability to clean/pick-up! 7)You can add a few drops of fragranced oils to the water, this will freshen the air while you clean! 8)When done using machine....rinse/dry and wipe down the water filtration tank with alcohol or vinager before storing! 9)IMPORTANT: IT IS VITAL THAT YOU CHANGE THE WATER WHILE CLEANING WHEN YOU NOTICE THAT THE WATER IS FILTHY, ALSO, YOU WILL MAY NOTICE THAT YOU ARE ABOVE THE WATER FILL-LINE WHEN IT IS FILTHY DUE TO INCREASED MATTER IN THE TANK....THIS REDUCES ITS CLEANING ABILITY, IT ONLY TAKES A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO FLUSH THE FILTHY/DIRTY WATER AND REFILL IT! 10)You can use this machine to clean the air in your home....when finished cleaning, change the water, add some fragranced oil if you like (we like a few drop of eucalyptus.)and run without any attachments on the intake in each room for 10 minutes once a week, this will greatly reduce the amount of dust in your home, reduce allergy symptons and increase indoor air quality!!!! Sometimes before we have company, we like to place the machine in the center of the house with some Lavender fragranced oil and run for 15 minutes....our guest always comment on how nice the air is in our home!:) Hope this helps!

I don't know why, but I obsess over my tile floors. I have to have them clean and there can't be streaks, spots or dirty grout. To me, it never seemed like a good idea to throw water on the floor, swich it around until dirty, then let it dry. The floor is still dirty. I knew there had to be a better idea. I searched all the stores, then online. I found this machine almost by accident, I think. And you can only get it online. It's the perfect price point. Thank you Amazon -and thanks to the people who took the time to provide reviews. I had my machine within a couple days.

The first day I used it I knew I had found what I needed. It was immediately obvious that this machine is superior for cleaning the approximately 1800 square feet of ceramic tile in my house. The grout was cleaner, there were no streaks, no spots and, best of all, the effort I expended to clean it was much less than that stupid mop and bucket.

Not only that, I was able to clean my chairs, two couches, and the carpet in the rest of the house. The dirt that came out of all my furniture made me both feel dirty for living on them but also a lot healthier now that they are so much cleaner. I also cleaned the carpet and other fabric areas in my cars with the same great results.

Now, I've only had this machine for a few weeks so I don't know how it's going to last -especially since I plan to use it a lot. But it seems well made and sturdy. It's not a professional machine to clean tens of thousands of square feet in heavy use buildings. But I found what I need for my 2,400 sq foot house.

I highly recommend this machine if you have a similar situation to mine. Bissell, you could market this machine a little better so more people can benefit from it. But thanks for a great product. You have my endorsement.

Honest reviews on Bissell Big Green Complete Canister Vacuum 7700

I was really excited about this because of the multi-function use. At the same time, I was skeptical. Our little dog likes to pee in small places on the carpet, so we needed good carpet cleaner that would deep clean these areas.

The carpet cleaner works very well. Both the large cleaner extension and the handheld spray and suction the water, which most others do not do. It was a decision between this and the Hoover Agility. The Agility does not seem to have a sprayer on the extension hose.

When it comes to the vacuum, it's not that great. The suction is only good enough for area rugs. The carpet extension has a air powered brush that stops working on normal carpet and it only cleans the top surface debris.

So, if you want something for hardwood and deep carpet cleaning this is great. Just don't try to replace a regular vacuum cleaning with this.

I bought this after a Hoover Steamvac died. I tried a Dirt Devil Easy Steamer and hated it. I work in hospitality and am used to canister style steam cleaners. This is about as close to a commercial unit as you are going to get, just without the huge size and high cost. it does a fantastic job. Not sure what is going on with the bad reviews. I have had this for several months now and use it quite often with animals in the house. It works perfectly every time. It has even gotten out stains that I thought were never coming out! I would definatley recommend this carpet cleaner.
