Amico USB Coffee Mug Cup Warmer Heater with Clock Calendar Review

Customer Ratings:

The display toggles between the time and date.

The ambient temperature of the metal plate is constantly shown, so it can double as an interior temperature gauge.

You can change it to display in Fahrenheit, which is good.

It'll reach a displayed temp of 150 degrees F; HOWEVER, the metal heating plate is NOT large enough to put an over sized coffee cup on. In the picture, the plate looks incredibly large; however, it's no larger than a standard coffee cut; therefore, I've not yet been able to determine if the thing actually keeps stuff warm.

Had I known the cup circumference limit, I probably wouldn't have purchased it.

It did get here fairly quickly and it came from Hong Kong, so it takes a few days.

Review of GE 15318 Push Button In-Wall Digital Countdown Timer

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $29.99

The product was very easy to install. It's fairly large, so it fit a little snugly into the electrical box. It looks really neat once installed. The LED's are not intuitive though. They blink even when the fan or lights are off. To stop this, switch the fan off with the large button. The LED's will continue to blink, but then press and hold the large button for 3-5 seconds until the fan comes on, then turn off with the large button again. The LED's won't flash until the next time one of the smaller, timer buttons are used. The instructions are not very helpful with describing this override. In a dark room the LED flashing is annoying. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the LED issue.

I installed this to control a whole house fan that we have. If you already have a switch in the wall, this easily replaces it. Very easy install and very easy to use and looks nicer than the knob style timer switches

This is one of the few timers that has a range from 5 minutes to 4 hours. That's perfect for a bathroom timer whether for an embarrassing whiff, or you want it to completely dry out after a long shower. It's convenient to be able to start the time of your choice with a simple press of a button.

Installation was a breeze. I saw a comment about how deeply inset this product was. It fit snugly, but there was no problem or need to buy any additional hardware to accomodate it. I saw some comments about the blue LED light being bothersome. I don't mind it at all. Mine is being used in a bathroom, and not next to my face in a bedroom. Note also that this timer is not a precision clock. "Four hours" turned out to be more like four hours and twenty minutes. Again, that's just fine for my goals.

Now that I've tried it out, I'm ordering a second one.

Honest reviews on GE 15318 Push Button In-Wall Digital Countdown Timer

I was having a tough time finding a timer, that didn't need a neutral in the switchbox, for my new bathroom fan that takes very little power. This one even works if you have LED lighting or new low power fans. It works perfectly.

It takes about a minute to charge after you turn the power back on after installing, then it's easy to operate. Press the button for the time period you want and the fan starts. A blue LED blinks every few seconds to indicate which time has been selected. If the fan is running press the big unmarked button to stop. If the fan has already stopped press the large button to recall the last countdown period and start the fan. Pretty simple, yet very functional.

I cut one star for being so ugly!

I bought this to time-limit lights that my family (including me) have a bad habit of leaving on -like in the garage and basement. This is the only unit I found that works with just two wires and a green ground (single pole application) as is typical in may houses. Other units have three wires, which is a problem. Anyway WHEN FIRST INSTALLING IT BE PATIENT (!!) and wait 5 or 10 minutes before switching it on and off to see if it works, because it takes time to charge up the internal circuitry. This is mentioned in the instructions but not emphasized and I think the recommendation was for a couple of minutes, but I found it necessary to wait longer. After that it will switch on and off immediately.

Reviews of FJC 5914 Foaming Evaporator Cleaner

Customer Ratings:

Ever notice an odd smell of socks, urine, booty, or mold when you first turn on your A/C? The odor lasts no more than 30 seconds but it greets you each and every time you turn on your A/C. Not only that, it's awfully embarrasing when you get into the car with a passenger. The odor is caused by mold and bacteria growing on and around your evaporator. Changing your car's filter will NOT make the smell go away. You must kill whatever is growing and that is what this product does. It works well and you only need to use it once or twice a year. The can comes with a two-foot long plastic tube (I don't know why they don't show it in the photo) that's used to apply the anti-bacterial foam directly to the stuff growing in your evap. Don't let the car dealer rip you off. This spray will help you solve the problem yourself, for cheap.

Reviews of The Oringinal Keep It Hot Microwaveable Hot Plate

Customer Ratings:

I had received two of these a while back and decided to give one a try as we were having Homecoming at our church today and I thought it would be a nice idea to keep the pot warmer longer (we all agree the concept is a good one).

With that said, I removed the HOT ROCK from the never-before-opened packaging (identical to the one depicted here on Amazon) and commenced to microwave the HOT ROCK MICROWAVEABLE HOT PLATE -PER INSTRUCTIONS for 3 minutes.

3 minutes is exactly halfway between the recommended setting for my oven (three ranges depicted on the back of the HOT ROCK depending on the wattage of your oven).

Before it finished my oven began making a horrific noise.

The magnetron is blown! Oven is Kaput! And is a nice one that is probably two years old at best.

I certainly would never put one of these in any microwave that I wanted to use again. Mine is blown and does nothing but make noise and not heat. I have been through all of the troubleshooting available on a Sunday and it all points to big fix that I feel should be done by the folks at HOT ROCKS.

So, where are those guys.

Nothing is listed for address or phone number in the brochure or on the box (other than imported by Books are Fun, Fairfield, Iowa.

I am trying to locate someone for some relief, but this site was the only thing I saw and would warn everyone against putting one of these things in your microwave.

The idea is great, but execution ? Executed my microwave.

ZERO STARS would be the true rating, but one is minimal.

We bought a couple of these a bunch of years ago, and have used them a lot over the years. Nowadays, before I go to bring home a take-out dinner (sandwich, Chinese, pizza, etc), I throw this into the micro for 4 minutes and go out the door. When I come back 20 minutes later, it's still very hot, and I put the package on top of it while I change and get the dinnerware and drinks together, set up the TV/VCR/DVD to watch something while eating, etc. Sometimes it seems the food is hotter by the time I'm ready than when I walked in the door with it!

But I am appalled at the asking price here. The original one sold at Walgreens for $5. Even with inflation since then, and being happy with it, I'm not sure I'd pay more than $10. I see a number of them on ebay for around $15 that might be bordering on fair. I don't think you need to hesitate to buy a used one, as long as there is no obvious physical damage I don't see how it could wear out functionally.

I hesitated to use it at first because I was unsure how the granite could be hot without melting the plastic coating. This is not a problem. Once I tried it, I like it a lot. To love it I'd want a bigger plastic case surrounding the hot granite stone. Other than that, it's great. I've heard of people using it as a cooler too, but I have not tried that myself.

Overall, I recommend this.

There is one place that I bring food for a large group of people. The place where we eat together, does not have electricity where we need it. I found one for a reduced price, and was so happy with this warming stone, that I bought a second one.

Of, course the heat slowly goes out of the stone, unlike an electrical product. But if you are going somewhere where there is no electricity, this is great.

I have put them in the microwave for 3 minutes, but never 30 minutes. Probably putting it in for 30 minutes will mess up your microwave.

I have one of these things (bought years ago) that I use to keep tortillas warm after cooking, or to warm a plate of pancakes, and it's perfect for that function. But do NOT pay $40 for it! It's worth $15-$20 at most. Check your local Target or buy one off Ebay. (That price has got to be a bot error.)

Reviews of Soleus HGW-308R Micathermic Flat Panel Portable Heater

Customer Ratings:

I put this heater in my daughter's bedroom in December 2006. It keeps her room heated throughout at a consistent temperature in the cold months. The unit is never hot to the touch and uses little electricity. Our pets love to lay right next to it on a cold day. I have always been a little nervous about the burn and fire hazards associated with space heaters, but feel perfectly safe with this one. Steady on it's feet, also with all the activity, I would have expected it to get tipped over a few times by now, but it hasn't. I am getting ready to order another for the living room.

Best Deals for Soleus HGW-308R Micathermic Flat Panel Portable Heater

My wife and I fell in love with this heater as soon as we took it out of the box and plugged it in. It produced almost immediate radiant heat, very pleasant!. It takes a little while for the convection aspect to kick in. The heater draws in the cooler air at floor level. The warm panel draws the cooler air up between the back of the heater and the wall. The narrow one-inch space between the wall and the back of the heater speeds up the flow of air, producing a sort of Venturi effect, which is what makes the air in the room circulate.

We questioned whether the thermostat and eco mode were working properly. The heater has an automatic eco mode. When the room temperature reaches the desired thermostat setting, the heater reduces it's power consumption from 1500 watts to 1000 watts. However, the eco mode always kicked in before reaching the room temperature that we set on the heater's thermometer. So, I don't know if this was a defect, or if this is the way it's designed, but it defeats its purpose by lowering heat output when the room has not even warmed to the thermostat setting.

If it weren't for these two problems I would have given it a 5.

Review of Lasko Silent Room Heater Model # 5620

Today's Bonus: 38% Off

This portable space heater by Lasko helps to cut my electric bill. At first I wasn't sure if should get this or a space heater that works with oil inside of it; but I'm glad I got this one instead. It couldn't be easier to set up--just take it out of the box and plug it in! Although you should read the four pages of instructions in order to be familiar with general precautions and to know how to use the timer feature and a couple other extra features, it amazed me just how intuitive it is to get this thing up and running.

In addition, it's easy to lift--it's very lightweight, especially after you remove it from the box; and there's a neat timer function so that you can "program" this to turn off at a set time up to 8 hours in advance. Great! The machine also turns on or off automatically depending on how close it is to making your room the exact temperature you specify by pressing the plus and minus buttons to set temperature.

After you turn it on, be aware that within 20 to 30 seconds you're going to feel the heat begin to blast upward from this unit, so don't get too close to the top of it after you turn it on. Another cautionary note, at least according to the instructions, is that the device can possibly leave a permanent stain on hardwood or similar floors. If this is a concern for you, keep looking for another portable space heater. My carpeting is practically industrial strength and I have plenty of extra pieces of the carpeting in one of my closets so I personally am not too concerned about any staining that may or may not result from my using this heater.

Overall, this is a great little heater that pleasantly surprised me when I realized just how powerful it really is. Although it's not for everybody (i.e., people with hardwood floors may want to stay away) it suits me fine and I recommend it for heating rooms up to roughly 300 square feet especially when the floors are not hardwood.

Honest reviews on Lasko Silent Room Heater Model # 5620

After trying a stand up convection heater which took 7-9 hours to heat up our living, dining and kitchen rooms (about 400 sq feet of a 900 sq. ft apt.), we decided to try another type of heater. This heater is the best for this purpose. We do close off the bedrooms and bathrooms but this heater only takes two to three hours to heat up our living room, dining room and kitchen areas. We live in san diego and it is usually about 62 degrees in the mornings here. We warm the apt to about 71-72 degrees. I think that it would warm faster if we had decent insulation in the building and better insulated windows (Including a sliding glass door) but it is an apt so we cant change that. The apt was built in the 60's and management won't go for upgrading anything. What I am saying is if you have a better insulated house or apt you prob don't need to section off rooms by closing doors and it will prob even heat up faster. I would def. recommend this heater for heating a apt. I love it. It does have a countdown timer built into itself that will turn it off after 1-8 hours, but not one that will turn it on at a certain hour of the early morning. It also won't work with a timer plug to turn it on at early hours of the morning either because of the built in timer interferes with this function. Buy it. You will be happy if you have been trying to find some alternative to decently heat your apt.

Buy Holmes Tower Quartz Heater (HQH308C-UM)

Customer Ratings:

We've been using an older Holmes Tower Quartz Heater at the office for eight years. That's right the same unit for eight years. It's still going strong. My boss and I sometimes covertly fight over who gets it, and coworkers are envious. So, when I decided to look for a space heater at home, I looked to a name and performace I knew and opted for this model, the HQH308C, under $50 at a local hardware store. My living room, which is open to the shotgun kitchen, measures about 12x18, kitchen excluded, and it does a decent job of warming the area. It does a fantastic job of warming me within 12 feet. Yes, the infrared heating is somewhat directional, but unlike regular radiant or forced air heaters, the quartz elements warm the objects in the room the floor, the wall, that cool desktop or cold leather sofa, that cold you as opposed to just warming the air. It feels a bit like sitting in front of a roaring fireplace, especially if you're too close and it's set on high. At work or home, we've never had to run one of these on high. We tried it once, but in a smaller space, you're quickly coming out of your cardigan and turning it down. Also, at the office, the building has forced air that NEVER stops, so heating the air is almost impossible since that air is quickly cycled out of the building and replaced. Because it primarily heats the objects in the room rather than the air, this little number makes all the difference, even in summer when the office temp has been (I kid you not) 55 degrees and all the windows were covered in condensation while we shivered. The drawback: coworkers would look for any excuse to hang out in front of my desk for as long as they could.

I like to be comfortable, especially at home, and don't want to spend my evenings bundled up for the sake of saving on utilities. This unit lets me set my thermostat to around 65 but still watch TV on the couch or whip up a quick cup of cocoa while barefoot and wearing short sleeves, which is just the way I like it. Last winter, having only the central heat (electric) meant heating the whole place when I spent most of my time in only half of my 700 square foot home, so evenings at 74 degrees meant some hellacious bills. This winter, it's going to be a LOT more affordable.

If you're looking for something you can put in a corner and aim at a general area, this heater will more than suffice. You can kick off your shoes, sprawl like it's still summer, and be truly comfortable. If you're looking for something that will make the space behind it equally toasty, then this is not the heater for you you'll need to warm the area air, which is not specifically what an infrared radiant heater is designed for. This is a great little heater, though, and I would recommend it (and have) to a friend.

We live in a rural area and our large home is heated by baseboard heaters utilizing oil to heat the water. Needless to say....very expensive right now. I work at home and my office is located at one end of a very large family room with a full wall of windows next to my work area. I thought if I could find an effective little heater, I could save money by setting the thermostat lower at least 3 or 4 degrees. I tried 3 other heaters all closely priced in comparison. One was a heater that blew hot air, but by the time the air got where it was going, it felt cold. The other type of heater was a floor baseboard radiant type without a fan. The third...just way too noisy, forget it! None of the three fans could raise the temperature in our large family room more than one degree. I had about given up when I was in Lowe's shopping for something else. I spotted this fan there and took out my handy iPhone and used my FANTASTIC Amazon app to scan the barcode and find the reviews. Even though there were only two...I liked what the reviewers had to say enough to give the fan a try. As my toes are toasty and I'm pushing up my sleeves from warmth while writing this, I have to say that this fan beats the others by a mile. I haven't received an electric bill yet, so I don't know how much of a difference it's going to make from that spectrum, but I'm returning the other crappy fans and I may purchase another Holmes for the master bedroom if the electric bill doesn't show a noticeable spike. Incidentally, using the Holmes, we can set our thermostat in the family room up to 5 degrees less than our desired heat level and the Holmes does the rest.

update...April 2012: we have now used this heater through its second winter and it's going strong. What with the high cost of fuel, I purchased another smaller Holmes heater early this winter to use upstairs in the bedroom and office. My electric bill hasn't shown much of a spike, but the two heaters...together with blocking off part of the house with thermal curtains has reduced our oil consumption significantly. I can't say enough about Holmes and the two heaters we have!

We've been using this heater for about 2 years and it works really well. We live in a very old house (about 90 years) with no central heat. Just a wood stove that doesn't heat the whole house. We run this heater and it keeps the living room and bedroom comfortably warm. The auto shut off feature is great since we have large dog tails swishing around that could knock it over. (Hasn't happened yet but you never know.) The only draw back is that it's a bit noisy. We will be adding an infrared heater this year and hopefully we won't have to use the wood heat as much. All in all, it was a good purchase for us and we are pleased with it. I would recommend it.

Cheap Fire Sense Small Yakatori Charcoal Grill

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $49.99
Sale Price: $40.14
Today's Bonus: 20% Off

This grill is quite different from other grills in that it is made of diatomaceous earth material (think of a very fine-grained, hard clay). The clay material does not absorb heat readily and thus a small amount of charcoal maintains a hot fire for a longer period of time. I love the grill and highly recommend it. It does not come with a cover or dome. Go to Target or Walmart and buy a stainless steel mixing bowl of the correct diameter, drill a hole in the center, attach a drawer knob, and you have a cover or dome! It's a great product, cooks like a ceramic grill at a fraction of the cost.

You can broil steaks in a half hour and still do hotdogs in two or three hours with one load of charcoal.

Honest reviews on Fire Sense Small Yakatori Charcoal Grill

Overall, the Grill is OK for this price. The material used to make this grill seems to be authentic--the same material used for the Japanese Shichirin Grill making. However, this one is too shallow--not deep enough to hold decent amount of charcoal. Second, it might be good to note in the instruction that this Grill would operate better if your charcoals are "Bichou-zumi", the Japanese Charcoal used for this type of Grill, especially when grilling Yakitori, rather than regular charcoals sold in the US for regular barbecue grilling. "Binchou-zumi" lasts very long and does not turn into completely ashes in a normal operation. Additionally, "bichou-zumi" creates no charcoal order nor transfers it to your food. I recommend to use a combination these two items to grill perfect, if not, near perfect Yakitori.

Bought this for myself for fathers day and use it primarily for yakitori style cooking, i.e. skewers or kabobs. It has held up nicely through the past 3 months and cooks very well. The capacity of charcoal takes some getting used to as you tend to put more in than you need. The ceramic walls reflect the heat from the coals so minimal coals are necessary and mininal coals helps eliminates the hot spot in the center. Grill is very thin coated wire and requires hard cleaning. Best to find a replacemnt grill with thicker gaugae wire. Cooking capacity is fine, as I can get 8 skewers on the grill with enough space to rotate. Well built and it delivers.

This unit doesn't work for me. But for some it is the right product.

Pros:

Very attractive and seemingly high quality. The glass looks great in any room with other black glass rectangles, a very common thing these days. The LCD display is a nice retro touch.

The power cord is comfortingly heavy duty and not flimsly like most heaters.

The thermostat seems accurate.

Cons:

Not hot enough! It took way too long to warm up the room for my taste. It doesn't heat as well as microthermic heaters.

Not compatible with a device like the Lux programmable thermostat. When the power is shut off, all settings are reset, including the Celsius display. The mode has to be changed after you plug it back in, meaning it won't work merely by turning on the power switch.

The controls are unintuitive, and the remote can't be seen in the dark.

There is no temperature down button, only temperature up, so you have quite a lot of pressing and beeping in order to lower the auto temperature. This was truly annoying.

I'm not convinced it has any special technology beyond a heating element heating the glass. Most of the heat comes out of a vent above the heating element, not the glass.

UPDATE: 1/3/12. We used it over the holidays to give it the old college try, and after a few days of use, the unit became inexplicably noisy, making a surprising number of squeaks and rattles for something that doesn't seem to have moving parts. I cannot really recommend this heater to anyone, and had to downgrade to two starts. It does appear to be safely constructed or else I'd lower it even more.

Pros:

Nice design

Does not dry the air which is awesome! We use this in a cold drafty room and it ends up nice and toasty after a bit.

It always starts at Celsius rather than Fahrenheit which is annoying unless you are used to it.

Thermostat is inaccurate for us so we figured to bump it up 2 degrees to get the right amount of heat in Auto mode most of the time.*

Beep is very loud when setting temp or mode so we do it as quickly as we can so as to not disturb the kids when they are sleeping.

We have been using this now for several months through a very cold Los Angeles winter, in my drafty 100 year old house and it's worked great. It heats up quicker than I expected and while it doesn't make our bedroom 'surface of the sun' hot, that is fine as it's not what I was looking for. The heater has worked flawlessly and is absolutely quiet while operating. To address a couple issues tht have been brought up, yes it has no button to lower the temp which yes is a very odd oversight indeed, and yes it's odd that the unit defaults to centigrade. However both these are true non issues, it takes two seconds to recitfy the need to lower the temp and another two seconds to rectify the centegrade issue, in other words this is truly a case of making a mountain out of a mole hill.

I'd happily buy several of these for every part of my house.

I was expecting this machine to cook rice very well based on previously owning a neuro fuzzy logic rice cooker made by zojirushi, which I've worn out after many years of use. I'm very happy with the new induction heating style of cooking. It cooks brown rice better.

Pro's

--Exceptional rice results, almost foolproof.

--Multiple menu settings account for most types of rice, including GABA brown (which is supposed to make brown rice even healthier)

--Easy to operate. Select menu setting, add cups of rice to bowl (rinse the rice), fill to applicable mark in bowl, and hit cook button.

--Battery backup. A lithium battery means the cooker will remember its last settings even if you unplug it. If you're a creature of habit, this feature makes it even easier to operate.

--Clock timer with 2 time settings you can set based on the clock's time. Like previously stated, the cooker remembers the timer settings until you change them. I leave my cooker set to have rice ready at 6:30a.m. (to pack for lunch at work) or 5:30p.m (dinner).

Con's

--Water level markings in pan are based on the 6.2 oz cup provided (~3/4 cup). Don't lose the cup!

--Expensive (my justification is it saves me $5 every time I pack rice for lunch instead of eating in the cafeteria)

--Takes longer to cook rice than the equivalent stove method (baking or stovetop)

--Timer is military time only (so when I said the timer was set to 5:30p.m., it's actually 17:30)

In summary, buy this machine if you want to use the timer function. If you're the type of person who only remembers things at the last minute or don't like to plan meals ahead, keep your money and get a pressure cooker or a good pot instead.

It fits my needs perfectly, so I give it 5 stars. I also recommend a Zojirushi lunch jar system if you want to use this to make rice for lunch at work. A lunch jar will keep the rice warm and moist, so you don't have to microwave it.

The cooker has done excellently. All of the rice types have been great. I'm using it for other grains. After some experimenting, here are my methods so far:

Steel-cut oats for breakfast: add 1/2 cup oats to bowl; wash a few times until the water is mostly clear; add water to slightly above 1 brown rice mark; press timer button; select porridge setting. Great oats are ready in the morning. Adjust the water addition to your personal preference. I add spices, fruit and ground flax later so I need it wet enough. Some residue gets on the top plate and into the steam vent. I set the top plate in water while eating to make it easier to clean.

Quinoa + oats: add 1/2 cup of each into bowl; wash a few times to get mostly clear water; add water to 1 white rice mark; cook as regular white. We enjoy this grain mixture at meals. It saves well in the refrigerator. Saute some onions, etc and add the grain at the end to heat it.

Hulled Barley: cook as brown rice. I like it with slightly extra water. I cook 1 cup barley at slightly above the 1 brown rice water mark.

Amaranth: I've haven't tried it enough to make a recommendation as yet. The regular white rice setting overcooked it.

The rice cooker is best in class ie five stars.

The only negative thing about this rice cooker is that it last about 1 year before it fails. I have just recently had my second rice cooker fail and this time it lasted about 1.1 years similar to the first rice cooker. After contacting Zojirushi they gave me a repair place for the rice cooker. I have already purchased my 3rd zojirushi rice cooker and the repair for the second one will cost $136 dollars.

The nice thing is that you can get it repaired and the customer service was really nice on the phone.

Both failures caused the digital display to lock up.

Honest reviews on Zojirushi NP-HBC10 5-1/2-Cup (Uncooked) Rice Cooker and Warmer

This is the second NP-HBC10 induction heating rice cooker I have owned, the first having been given to my son in a moment of weakness. As there are a great many reviews already, I'll just sum up the pros and cons as I see them.

PROS

The rice cooker is attractively styled and easy to use. As other reviewers have noted, be sure to remove and wash the inner lid after each use. This takes only seconds.

The control panel is clear and the interface is intuitive. While one should always read the manual one can operate the cooker without reading a single page.

Build quality, workmanship, fit, and finish are excellent, as they should be for the price.

The extended keep-warm function is incredibly effective. I have often held rice overnight and found it warm, moist, and not crusty the following day.

Cleanup is easy as the machine lacks many of the nook-and-cranny rice catchers of some other brands.

Brown rice is cooked to perfection every time. I don't often bother with the GABA cycle but for people who believe that it makes a difference, it is there to use.

The congee cycle (porridge, they call it) works well and not just for that purpose. You can keep soup hot, etc. I notice that the manual advises against this but I have done it many times.

Replacement parts can be ordered through the internet, if needed. The greatest risk I see is dropping and denting the cooking vessel. In a conventional unit, this might not make much difference but with induction the difference can be huge.

It works well for steaming, despite the concerns of those who opine that fuzzy logic cookers will not do so. You will, however, need to provide your own basket.

If you follow the recipes closely, the rice will always come out properly cooked and never crusted on the bottom. I've not had a single failure and I cook and eat lots of rice.

The cooker has amazing versatility. Steel cut oats for breakfast...yummmmm

Overall, it reeks of quality. That may be of greater importance to some than to others.

CONS

The stainless finish is an extra cost and essentially the same model can obtained in white for a bit less. Zojirushi NP-KAC10 5-1/2-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer with Induction Heating System

Induction heating consumes a bit more energy than conventional heating. Not a lot, but some.

The cost is high. A conventionally heated unit that works almost, but not quite, as well can be had much cheaper. Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 5-1/2-Cup Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker and Warmer, Premium White

Retractable cord would have been nice. Mine stays plugged in all the time because I use it so often but others might find the cord a bit of a nuisance.

OVERALL

Highly recommended. This is the best non-pressure rice cooker on the market, hands down. The sweet taste of perfectly prepared rice dishes will last long after the bitterness of the price has faded. If you want a pressure rice cooker, Zoji has those, too, but the price is even steeper. Zojirushi NP-HTC Induction Heating Pressure Rice Cooker & Warmer Color: Stainless Brown, 5.5 cups / 1.0 liter

Reliable, easy to clean, and nicely sized for 2 4 people. We've done everything from rice to buckwheat to millet to the best oatmeal I've ever had in my life. The induction cooker really does make a difference and we get wonderfully evenly cooked rice. And the timer function is a lifesaver, especially in the morning.

The only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wish there were cool-touch handles on the bowls, but the rice is easy to extract and this is a minor complaint. Also, one reason we got this instead of a cheaper Zoji was because of the GABA rice capability, but if you want to save the $$ there are directions on how to make GABA rice just by soaking the rice ahead of time.

Do buy it with the Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook if you're planning to do anything more than rice in addition to recipes, the book is great for giving water-to-grain ratios for just about any grain or legume.

Working great. Love the digital temp reading. Easy to adjust.

Only drawback, it flashes the digital readout, rather than steady.

After two days, the temperature of the waterbed had gone up 4 degrees, in the middle of summer. Went to a place down the street and bought a different brand and it was up to temperature in 24 hours. Waste of money.

After talking to InnoMax the new heaters don't heat like the old ones like I used to have. They just maintain temp. They recommend getting a second heater if you have a lot of fiber pads in the bed as I do. Should work ok for summer then we will see.

They were not aware of any heaters that heat any better. Hey I am saving energy!

Honest reviews on InnoMax Thermal Guardian Touch Temp Solid State Waterbed Heater

We actually had to turn the heating element down; it warmed so efficiently. You might need two on a larger waterbed, but we have an oversize single and it is more than adequate.

seems to be living up to it's responsibilities.

I have it heating a floatation tank to 92 degrees. With the evaporation, it is probably running a lot more than a water bed so... I'd say it is doing well.
