Krups has done a great job with this tea kettle! This item makes a perfect cup of tea! I was not so sure about purchasing it since it is a new item and hadn't been reviewed before. It arrived in just two days and I used it immediately. It is very simple to use. So simple that you wonder why it cost $100. But really, that's a good thing. You are definitely paying for the quality and it is very well constructed. I wasn't sure if the infuser basket was glass or plastic. Turned out it is plastic. The directions talked about a plastic taste that you may experience at first use, but I heated and disposed of two kettles of water with the infuser lowered prior to actually brewing tea and I experienced no plastic taste at all. I would hope that Krups would have made the infuser BPA free, but I can't find any evidence either way. The water heats quickly and the multi-temperature function is great for brewing various types of teas. Also, once you brew, the pour spout has a fine mesh screen that will prevent any loose tea debris from escaping into your tea cup. I brew a lot of rooibos tea which is very fine and some of the tea does escape the infuser. The other good thing is that it has a double infuser (a basket that the actual infuser sits in) which allows you to place other items that can use a longer brewing time into the basket prior to lowering the tea infuser. For me, I like to add a little fresh ginger into the basket. Clean up is very easy as well. Only thing is, I would have loved to see some intermediate measurements on the carafe in addition to the max fill line. All in all I've been enjoying this product and would definitely recommend it. It's all a tea lover would ever need to brew a great cup of tea!

I emailed Krups and they said that the plastic infuser for this product is BPA free, but i do wish it was glass or metal instead.

Works great.. only thing that could make it better is a noise to let you know its done heating up.

The Breville model similar to this one has a feature where you can heat in 5 deg increments and a timer to start boiling water for people who want their tea before work etc...and i believe this informs you when its done heating.. but for $230 for the Breville model the Krups is a cheaper alternative.

The tea kettle works great. I don't use the infuser, though i tried it once and it worked fine. i use it as a water heater with different heat settings.

Now for the reason it is not a five star.

the heat settings listed don't match my 2 test thermometers. I wanted a 165 setting that the product doesn't have.

I found that mine actually has one, because all the settings except boil are about 10 degrees lower than the listed temperature, so if i want 165 degree, i set it at 175 and so on.

so, for me it works, just, if you get this product check the temperatures.

Just so you know, i purchased this about a week ago. I do use it about 4 or 5 times a day

april first 2013 and still working well

Honest reviews on KRUPS FL700D50 Electric Kettle with Incorporated Tea Infuser

Pros:

Very attractive and functional kettle. I especially like the hold temperature setting that keeps the water at the selected temp for an hour great for grabbing that last-minute coffee before heading out the door in the morning. The glass kettle is sturdy and the spout pours well.

Cons:

The base unit quit working after less than six months. Luckily I had registered the product with Krups and they were able to look up my purchase and issue an RMA over the phone without a receipt. They also sent me a pre-paid shipping label to send the kettle to a local authorized repair station. I'm sending it out today for repair/replacement. Hopefully this malfunction is random and not indicative of a design flaw.

UPDATE:

After owning this kettle for six months (including the month or so it was being repaired) the joint where the plastic spout attaches to the glass has begun to leak, which results in a teaspoon of water dribbling onto the counter each time I pour a cup. I hesitate to send it back in for repair because it is twice as fast compared to heating water in the microwave. I will post an update about my experience with customer service in the event I do decide to send it in for repair again!

I had high hopes for this kettle and it certainly delivered! It boils water very quickly. It isn't heavy like I expected (since it's glass) even when it's full. I don't plan to use the tea basket since it's plastic, but it is also very well done. My only complaint is the tiny bit of silicone in the bottom of the kettle, but considering i was using a completely plastic kettle before, this is a major improvement! Having multiple settings for different types of tea is very cool, but i can't say i use it as much as i expected to. It's still nice to have the option though. Love this kettle and highly recommend it!

Works as advertised. Great for travel. However, you need to be careful that you do not remove it from the cup before you disconnect it. There is an internal fuze that turns the heater off if it gets too hot. Once that happens its shot.

I liked this product but nowhere on my box did it say that if you ever let it boil dry or get too hot, it would be PERMANENTLY disabled! Believe me, I looked when mine stopped working suddenly. I only found out what had happened when I went to buy a replacement. Works great but $15 plus shipping is a little steep for a product you can destroy so easily. How hot is too hot? Just a big caveat.

Bought 2 one these, one for a friend. Mine died after 4 uses and hers after 2. Thoroughtly disgusted with this product and would not recommend it to anyone.

Honest reviews on Travel Immersion Water Heater - Dual Voltage

Cheaply made, designed with a self-destruct fuse that permanently kills the unit the first time it senses the unit is hot. Might fail your first use, might last up to a dozen uses, but it's designed to fail pretty quickly. I've bought at least three dozen of these various places during my years of constant travel, and they all fail, no matter how religiously you obey the instructions, don't blame yourself because THEY ARE DESIGNED TO FAIL.

I just think of them now as disposables. If one lasts two uses, I've broken even vs. the price of a cup of coffee. If it works the third time, I'm ahead in savings and convenience; if it lasts a fourth use, I've doubled the price I paid in savings over room service/Starbucks.

Like other reviewers I'd gladly pay much more for a reliable product that does its simple job without self-destructing, but quality US immersion heaters are no longer made. Another industry sold off to China.

One alternative if you're going to Europe/UK: buy a heater locally, you may find better quality, not all there are made in China...yet.

A bulkier less convenient option is to buy a $15-20 variable-dial electric travel 'hot pot'--they too are cheaply made in China, and you're boiling in plastic, but they last much longer than these coils, and with many models you can make soup, boil eggs, etc. See reviews there.

My dad travels a lot and he was looking for something like this which can heat up a cup of water in a jiffy. This does the job beautifully. He lives in an asian country where the voltage is 240V and this worked perfectly. A cup of water comes to a boil in less than 3 minutes ! Pretty darn amazing !!

Functionality:

I purchased this because I didn't really like the way my friend's round fire pit worked. I thought that a square fire pit would make more sense. I can't tell you how right I was. The logs fit better and it's much easier to manage starting the fire. With this fires will start quickly, stay hot for a long time and look good doing it.

Appearance:

I really like the way this fire pit looks. My wife loves the pretty stars and moons on the side.

Assembly:

There were no instructions on how to put the side screen together, but it was simple to figure out. I had no issues setting it up, probably took about 15 min.

Honest reviews on DeckMate Luna Wood Burning Outdoor Firebowl

Not willing to pay $200 and up for something that's going to sit in the yard. So, this seemed to be the best design for the best price. Plus free super saver shipping. We assembled and used the firebowl last night. Assembly took about 15-20 minutes. Issues: 1) The handle doesn't screw in as tight as I'd like. 2) There are pieces included *not* listed in the instructions; specifically the interior mesh panels. Further, though there are screw holes to fasten the mesh screens together, there are no screws included. Still, they stay in place pretty well. 3) There is no lip for the grate to rest on in the bowl. You just drop it in until the bowl tapers enough to hold the grate. So, that's all a little shoddy / suspect. But still the firebowl worked well; less than 30 minutes after we opened the package, we were sitting fireside. I'm sure there are better products, but I'm also sure there are worse.

Discount ShelterLogic Backyard Storage Series Covered Firewood Rack

ShelterLogic Backyard Storage Series Covered Firewood Rack, Black, 4-Feet
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
Purchased two 12 ft. Shelterlogic firewood racks. Product arrived within two days (not from Amazon.) The firewood racks of respectable quality. The hardware to assemble the units was complete; both units arrived with one spare bolt, nut and two extra washers. The assembly is simple and can be completed within 10 minutes. While the quality of the Shelterlogic rack doesn't come close to the unparalleled strength, precision, and stability of the Woodhaven firewood racks (which I own as well), the price / quality ratio of the 12 ft. Shelterlogic firewood rack is certainly excellent in comparison. One feature I deplore on the Shelterlogic rack is the 15 1/2 inch width (compared to the 14 inch width of the Woodhaven racks). While the wider rack may, theoretically, improve stability, I favor the 14 inch width. The slightly narrower rack allows for smaller / irregular logs. In any case, adequate and weather & ground-appropriate footing / base for the racks is indispensable to avoid sinking or leaning of the rack leading to the rack falling over when fully loaded. The rack comes with a partial cover, ideal for the correct aeration of the firewood.

This rack is a nice concept, but it's implemented so cheaply that I'll be surprised if it's still upright this spring:

The front-to-back stretchers sit in between the base sections (or the base and end sections). They only connect to one of the through bolts though. You get two washers to fill in the space on the other bolt! Oh, and by the way they DON'T give you washers for ends of these bolts.

Once I started tightening up all the bolts, the tube steel started to crush and go out of round. I'm not using some huge wrench here either. Standard 3/8" drive ratchet. I should have returned it at this point...

I got the rack about half loaded, and the legs started to buckle. Since the front/back stretchers only connect to one bolt, they don't prevent the legs from twisting out of shape. I finished without it collapsing, but now I mostly have to hope that when it goes, it falls away from the garage.

The cover only really works if your logs aren't much longer than the rack is deep. Standard 16-18" fireplace wood is OK (this is what I have). If you are running a wood burning stove that takes 20"+ pieces forget the cover completely.

This rack would be OK if I'd gone down to the "big box store" and picked up some ¼" plate steel to replace the stretchers. I'd have made new ones wide enough to cover both bolts; then used the supplied washers on the ends of the bolt. The manufacturer should supply it this way.

Best Deals for ShelterLogic Backyard Storage Series Covered Firewood Rack

I purchased two racks, liked them enough to purchase two more.

Pros:

Simple to assemble

nice looking

do what they are supposed too (keep wood off the ground and dry).

Nice cover keeps the rain off the top, allows air to circulate to encourage drying.

Cons:

Feet need to be on block or brick. Weight of wood will drive rack into ground.

Not very stable. Again, needs to be on bricks or deck/concrete. If not, one leg can twist and whole rack goes cockeyed.

The two halves are joined by metal plates that go just though one of two holes (the top hole of each section.) When tightening, the space these plates add cause the lower half to draw in more than the upper, causing the end pieces to angle outwards a little. They should have provided two plates or one larger plate.

You can't tighten the bolts very much. There is a point where tubing begins to deform and that is all you can do. It doesn't seem to take much strength, but the racks do seem to hold up fine. Again, best if the feet are supported so they don't sink.

I see the cons take up more space than the pros but, in fact, it is fine as long as you support the feet.

Honest reviews on ShelterLogic Backyard Storage Series Covered Firewood Rack

Whoever buys one of these wood racks should be prepared to be totally ignored by the company. After about a Dozen calls and six or seven messages the company has not gotten back with me concerning broken parts. They DO NOT EVER answer their phones, but do send you into voice mail, and then Not return calls.

this is ok. we use it on the deck, and transfer wood too it periodically. 1) it doesn't hold a lot of wood: if you want to use the cover, which u obviously do, the cover doesn't fit if you fill anywhere near the top, and this measures 4 feet on the outside of the tubing, so you're giving up stacking space on all sides, and 2) I had to put down a 4' by 18" piece of plywood because many logs aren't this long and fall through; you can always line the bottom and the sides with the longer logs.

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.

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.

Grabbed this for $69 at Sams club. The cord and plug get a bit warm but every heater I have had does the same. I have some Tower Heaters which I love so thought I would check out this one.

Not bad at all. What I like is that it can be placed right on the wall and fits just about anywhere. The Towers are great and I use the heck out of them, but I have accidentaly knocked them over, killing them. In fact, I have done that twice so now I know to keep the towers in certain areas where they cant get knocked down.

This unit fits anywhere. It does not oscilate like the towers but does have the leavour(sp?) design which allows you to direct air in a wide range up to down. It has a wide outlet and combined with the directional airflow, it works great.

The Ionizer is a plus. None of my towers have them and they do work so nice to have that feature. The remote is easy to use, as are the remotes on the towers.

The BEST thing I like about this heater, which I have not found on any heater I have bought to date is when it is on low, the fan really kicks in. Most heaters when put on low do not have enough air force pushing out. This one shoots the air out like a jet stream when on low and the air is pretty darned warm/hot. I find that I never put it on high even though high works very, very well. Air comes out hard and nice and hot. Heats up a big open area with vaulted ceilings pretty quickly. It almost works too well, that is why I use low or auto. Low still kicks out nice hot air with a very forceful fan, so it works great on low. No need to use high unless temps drop to 10 degrees outside. The auto feature is nice. Set your temp and it comes on and off as needed. When on Auto it does come on in HIGH. Would have been nice if they allowed the auto feature to be used on either high or low like one of the Honeywells I have allows. That is the one thing I would change on every heater with Auto. Allow Auto to be used on either high or low, not just high.

Overall a very good heater that heats a pretty nice sized area with vaulted celings. I see the prices and think they are a bit high. Heck, I thought $69 was pricey at Sams Club. I got a Lasko Tower 2 or 3 years ago at sams club for $34.95 and another one last year for $39.00. They are GREAT for the money.

I also grabbed a Delhongi Oil Radiator Type heater at wallmart for $24.95. Not good for a large area but very good for a bedroom or office. It is radiant heat so no fan. It heats the oil and the all metal cylinders then radiate the heat. Almost as if you took a chunk of steel and threw it in a fire and then took it out while red hot. It radiates the heat. The pro's are it is very energy efficient as once the oil heats it only needs to maintain a certain temp ( whatever temp you set it at) so the actual heating elements do not stay on so it uses FAR LESS energy/power then other heaters. The con's are no quick heat and no fan. It is great if you can turn it on a half hour before you need the heat (getting one with a timer would solve that) but if you are looking for instant warmth or a fan blasting hot air in to the room, this doesnt do it. It takes about half an hour to get nice and hot and does a fine job of keeping my smaller bedroom nice and toasty in the evenings set on low setting 5 (out of 10) which I love because the ceramic and electric heaters would use 10 times the energy/power to keep that room toasty which is overkill for a small room.

So, depending on your needs and budget should determine what you buy.

I purchased this heater after my apartment failed to repair our heating after 2 months of complaining. I wanted a nice heater that could keep the apartment hot without breaking after being on for a few hours. This one has met my expectations in every way.

I live in a 720 square foot apartment consisting of 1 bedroom, 1 bath, and 1 living room/kitchen area. When the whether hit -8 degrees F, this heater was not able to heat the entire apartment. After closing the bathroom and bedroom, it was able to get the living room back up to 70 degrees though within a couple of hours (from 55 degrees).

In better whether (like 30 degrees F), It can keep the temperature up as well, for the entire 720 square feet. But that is usually only if it works constantly, with only an occasional break (if you are using the auto) every hour or so.

I would not have survived this crazy winter this year without this device. I use it in congruence with a cheap heater the apartments gave me that can't even set temperature, so I have to shut it off regularly to prevent overheating.

This heater and the automatic function have kept me at 70-73 degrees for the last month. without a problem. It did it's job, and when I do by a house, I am sure I will use this one, and maybe buy one or two more.

Unfortunately for you, I can't let you know the power usage, I get electricity for free. But I definitely recommend this product.

One's individual thermostat varies from person to person. With this unit one can cater their own comfort level to their own liking. Why heat rooms where there not being used. It's so whisper quiet. A regular gas furnace is so expensive and noisy to operate. I haven't gotten the electic bill yet so as a cost saving measure is yet to be determined. The portability factor is fantastic, so light one can carry it room to room. The ionic feature is a definite added plus. I wish I had purchased this type of unit years ago. So far, the temp on the unit has not gotten over seventy two degrees, which is perfect. The settings do allow a ninety degree setting, however anything to toasty could be cause it to overheat. One can set the timer for one hour or more, which helps as a cost saving measure. It's really nice to set the timer and drift off to sleep. Just ideal for a bedroom/bathroom size. With a living room size, it has to run more than four hours to warm up the area. People have ingrained in their minds that a "space heater" is a fire hazard, not so with the new ones on the market, this one there are no exposed coils that glow. I definitely would buy another one sometime in the future. Electric heat is so much cleaner, no dangerous carbon monoxide fumes and no maintenance costs. The remote is also handy. Invest in one you won't be disappointed.

Honest reviews on Lasko 5840 Cyclonic Room Heater with Remote Control

When I took this thing out of the box I thought to myself "now this is a heater!". The thing is huge and very nice looking, and seems very solid. The best looking heater around, unless you start comparing fireplace heaters.

It heats pretty good also and has awesome electronics. One complaint I have with the digital controls on it is that it cycles on and off in a range of 3 degrees. This would be fine on a warmer day or in a small house. I am in Michigan and have a 4000 sq ft house, so this thing does not have the power to increase the temperature 3 degrees to be able to cycle off. It does increase 2 degrees, so you figure just lower it one notch right? Wrong. If I do that then it has to wait 3 degrees down before it turns on, which never happens since my furnace kicks in.

That is my only complaint, wish it had a range of 2 degrees or 1 degree, or allowed us to choose the range.

I own 8 different types of space heaters and this one is not the best but it is up there. The few that are slightly better a Optimus H-5300 Quartz & Convection which I think puts out more heat than any space heater, an old discontinued Charmglow electric stove heater, and also a Lifesmart LS1500-6 seems to heat the room an extra degree but it is very expensive, not completely sure if it is worth the extra expense yet.

This Lasko Cyclonic heater puts out a lot of heat, don't get me wrong, I just included those comparisons to give you an idea of what I put this heater up against. It has a very powerful fan that distributes the heat and yet the fan is quiet. The cycle on off is also quiet. Pushing the buttons makes a beep, so playing around with the buttons while baby is sleeping is not suggested.

On low it uses 894 watts, on high it uses 1360 watts, using the Ionizer actually lowers the watts by 25 and the air feels even hotter. When the heat cycles off and the fan continues for 30 seconds or so, it is using 33 watts, when on standby it is using 1 watt. I tested it with a killawatt tester.

I think this heater is a good buy and recommend it.

Although this heater does heat up the space as indicated and as fast as indicated, it shoots a huge orange flame almost 2 feet to the top of the container. The instructions were easy to follow, however, it indicates that the flame should be blue, not orange and there was no way to adjust the flame.

Put it on the low setting and the shop heated a bit slower, less condensation etc. I would recomend high cieling. this puts out a large volume of HOT HOT air above it. I have 14 ft cielings and would not dare use this in my garage. Good Buy. Good product.. No Problems here.

This is the second one we've bought, because we liked the first so much. It's good for small rooms. Dependable thermostat. It's not super quiet, but not terribly loud, though I wouldn't want it running when trying to watch TV.

It warms up well. It's kind of weird to use so follow the instructions because it may turn off automatically. I would NOT recoommend it for the workplace, though. It's very very loud.

Review of Vornado Vortex Whole Room Heater

Vornado Vortex Whole Room Heater
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I've had my VH2 for several years -it's always reliable and always great at quickly warming up a room in my drafty old house. This is a forced air / fan aided heater, so it's not a product to sit in front of for instant comfort, like a radiant heater, so consider that in deciding what suits your needs. I swear by them. The second one I bought had the switch go after only a couple of years -it worked great before then, and after it broke the good folks at Vornado took care of the problem with no hassle. These heaters are terrific. The quality is well worth the extra money, and buying something actually made in the US is an added treat.

We own a Vornado floor fan that we use during the summer and purchased this heater about a month ago for our bedroom. We wanted to stop heating the entire house at night to save some money. Well, as has been stated by others, this is not the kind of heater you sit in front of to get warm. We run it on the low setting and it will warm our bedroom by around 5 degrees in about an hour. That is just about perfect. We use a timer to have it come on at 10, then off by midnight. then again at 3, then off at 3:30. then on again at 6 and off at 7. It works. Our room stay warm, not hot.

The heater is not real quiet. After all, it's a fan with a heater element. We actually like the noise in the room. It's smaller than you might think and takes up little floor space. The built-in thermostat works, but we noticed it would sometimes cycle on and off quickly. The external timer solved that problem (we set the thermostat higher).

We would have no issues buying another one. Highly recommend.

This heater is a must have for me. I have three levels to my house and use these heaters (I have 3) constantly. None have needed repair & some are rather old. I find the only negative thing I can say is I have to fight with my cat as to gets to sit closest to the heater! Great buy well worth the cost.

Honest reviews on Vornado Vortex Whole Room Heater

I ordered this heater because of the Vornado name. Have had 7 of their products over the years and was always happy. This one is advertised as a 'whole room heater.' It would hardly heat a small bathroom. Fan wouldn't produce enough air movement so that when standing in front of it one would even notice that it was on.

I hope Vornado goes back to the drawing board on this one. I will continue to believe that they can and do build quality products. This was just not one of them.

The heater heated our living room but also created a breeze that made us colder. I understand the point of the fan part is to circulate the warm air around the room to have an even heat in the room but we didn't like that feature. I read some reviews saying it was loud but it wasn't, it was like white noise, we didn't have to turn the TV volume up. This heater just wasn't for us.
