Living in the snow belt of NY state and using space heaters as the main source of heat in my home for the last few winters, I know a thing or two about them. I haven't been able to afford a heating oil delivery, so naturally, I turned to electric heat.

My first heater purchase was a highly rated $75 radiant heater which was alright, except it was pretty darn big, and the heat it provided seemed so-so for the price I paid. The next one was a $50 bionaire heater which was still rather large and so-so for the price I paid.

Being on a budget, my next two heaters were this particular one. I love how small they are, and it can get downright HOT, even on the coldest nights if you don't have it on medium/low. I had them running almost on a constant basis for 6 months, 2 years running, and this is the third year and have had no issues with them quitting on me. I did go and buy them from a physical store, so maybe bad handling was the case with others who had a problem with it.

Anyway, on the subject of electric bills, mine were pretty high. A winter of electric bills was pretty much equivalent to a winters worth of heating oil, but at least I didn't have to pay that in a lump sum, up front.

I needed a couple of new inexpensive space heaters so I decided to do a bake off between this LASKO 754200 and the HOLMES HFH111T.

Both have a single fan speed, and a choice of fan only, low heat, and high heat.

Both have a thermostat which will turn the unit off once the desired temperature is reached.

Both have internal over temperature protection which needs to be reset by unplugging the device and letting things cool down.

LASKO PLUS

The light is lit if the unit is plugged in so you know if it's plugged in by a look only. I want to leave space heaters unplugged when I'm not around and this makes it easy to tell.

Quieter than HOLMES: ~55DB vs the HOLMES 60DB

Seems more efficient at heating a given volume of air. Passing my hand in front of either unit at about 18 inches away with heat on high, my hand got rather hot with the LASKO which seemed to have good even hot air distribution over an arc +/-20 degrees of center, but the HOLMES air distribution seemed uneven with more air going to one side, and my hand never got uncomfortable.

HOLMES PLUS

Simpler packaging: no internal packaging.... LASKO had: 2 pieces of pressed formed cardboard, plastic wrapping and tape to recycle.

The light is lit once the switch is no longer in the OFF position, even if the thermostat has caused the fan to turn off. Thus you can look at the light to know that the heater *may* be on. With the LASKO you need to look at the switch to make sure it's going to stay off.

More sensitive thermostat. It takes only a 5 or 10 degree rotation to get the thermostat to go on or off, while the LASKO took about 30 degrees.

May very well move more air for the noise.

Tip over protection. It has a weight on a switch. If the unit leaves vertical by more then 60 degrees tipping front or back, the unit will shut off.

BOTTOM LINE

If no kids or cats I'd recommend LASKO. If tip over is a concern, the the HOLMES is an acceptable low cost solution.

The LASKO will go in my office where I will appreciate the quiet and the more direct heat, and the HOMES will in the bathroom where the noise and uneven direct heating is less of an issue.

This heater is not a bad heater if you don't mind the noise. We bought it for our baby's room and took it back next day. When the heater goes on it is just too noisy so our baby would wake up. It is cheap, it works but it is awful noisy.

I bought this heater 2 years ago. For my laundry room to keep my dog and her 10 puppies warm through the cold winter. Warmed the room within 10 mins and if kept on high it was too DARN HOT! Best thing about this heater if the pups ever knoked it over it shut off. After two years of having this heater it hasn't failed me yet. And it has been thrown knocked over and stomped on by my dogs. Very Harty heater does a great job! Of and my laundry room has a dog door and windows all around so not very insulated. I would run it 6 hours a day every day and didn't even see a change in the pge bill

First of all, I agree with prior reviewers that this unit is very noisy vs. other forced air space heaters.

The primary reason for my negative review, though, is that I think this unit is downright dangerous. I used this unit on the "low" setting for about 12 mos (used only in winter months). It worked fine. Today, for the first time, I used it on the high setting. It had been on for about one hour, when one of the internal supports for the heating coils collapsed. This caused the coils to collapse into the metal fan, which then caused a short. A huge flame shot out of the front of the unit and turned the plastic housing black. If I hadn't been sitting there to unplug it immediately who knows what might have happened. This unit has basically never been moved, so the weakness in the support is not due to operator misuse. It is likely a manufacturing and/or design issue.

Very poor design. It's cheap for a reason. Don't risk your safety for a few bucks.

This was bought for our local baseball snack shack-looked like a decent product and wasn't the least expensive. Sadly within 3 weeks the kettle didn't work. since it had been over 30 days since ordered we had to deal directly with the manufacturer...which goes by the alias of DTI international. No way you'll ever get anyone on the phone-after calling the service number you get a recording in less than 15 seconds saying all operators are busy and leave a message. It took a series of emails back and forth with the "service area" and $375 of useless junk. If you're considering a popcorn unit, spend more money and stay away from Great Northern, because they will stay away from you.

This machine was bought for our elementary school's use. We have used it every week for over a month now. We use it one day per week popping around 12 batches each time. It does an amazing job & we have never had a problem. We clean it thoroughly each week, only complaint is the bottom piece is not removable like others we have used. This makes it a little argavating to get the popcorn on the bottom. After weeks of use the small screws on top did get loose but all you need to do it tighten them. All in all it was a great value since the others we looked at cost 2x as much.

I had a particular heating problem. I have a spa room built outside the house over an old cement patio about 6 feet from my back door, so it does not have access to the central heat. The room is not insulated, and has about 1/3 glass windows so I can look out into the yard while in the tub. I'm telling you all this so you will understand that the area is not easily heated. It is used for only short periods of time, so I didn't want to heat it 24/7. Without heating, the room is probably only 4 degrees warmer than the outdoor temperature.

In very cold weather, without a supplemental source of heat, I simply cannot abide undressing in 40° or less, even if the spa itself is nice and warm. So I bought a series of inexpensive heaters, none of which would do anything except heat the few feet around the heater. Then I saw the Laslo which said it had a "push" system to get the heat into the room. Having no idea what the "push" entailed, I bought it, knowing I could return this heater, as I'd done with the previous two, if it did not fill my needs. But I did not need to return it. It works for my purpose.

The unit is attractive, is tall and narrow so can fit into a small area, yet throw out heat sufficient to allow me to undress, use the spa, and re-dress in comfort. Then I turn it off. (I preheat the room easily using the digital brightly lit, large LCD thermostat which shows the ambient temperature, and moves up as the room heats. This a.m. the room started at 43° and now, after 15 minutes, it is up to 50° already. If I open the lid of the spa it will heat even more rapidly, of course). The room contains 3 exercise machines, also, so we can now exercise in comfort, as well. I have no need for the remote control which comes with the unit since I'm either in water or on a machine while using it.

I highly recommend this heater.

The heater work well in that it heats the room by several degrees (starting at 69) in just a few minutes. We used it last night for the first time in our 14'x15'x8' bedroom and after some experimentation put the thermostat at 75 degrees. The instructions say that in the automatic mode the unit will radiate heat until 77 degrees is reached and shut off at 74 degrees. It does shut off when the LED indicates the room temp. at 74 and stays on until 76 degrees (not 77). However, there is a disconnect between the digital thermometer in my room and the one on the heater. My digital thermometer indicates a low of 71.4 F. and a high of 75.4 F. I'm willing to live with that and the trick is to not be concerned about what's on the LED of the heater but what is the actual temperature of your room. I've never seen any heater's temp readout be accurate. Will exchanging it matter? I don't know, but if the room were to become too cold or hot during a given cycle I would exchange it. There seems to be no such thing as a perfect heater, so compromises need to be made. I find it confusing that there are about seven Lasko heaters within the same price range but numbered differently so I was not able to determine which one would best for my needs. I got this one because it was the only Lasko they had at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

I think the heater is worth a try. The fan on high is not very loud, although you can readily hear it. I'm a light sleeper and I had no problem going to sleep with it on. It's a lot less noisy that the top-rated Vornado I own. Heaters with no fans don't distribute the heat very well so that was not an option for me; I knew there would be some noise with any fan. Would I buy this heater again? Yes, knowing what I know now, and I will follow up if my experience changes over the next several days.

This will be my 3rd winter with this heater. I live in a cabin, (yes literally a cabin), but it is insulated and is small enough that it doesn't have a furnace. I use this heater in my main living space. It stays on all winter once the temperature begins to drop below freezing and has worked really well.

Efficiency

This heater does a good job of maintaining a comfortable living temperature. I set the temperature as I would a thermostat adjusting it to around 60 when I am going to be gone a long time, and raising it when I am home. I did find that if let the ambient temperature get two low while I am away, it will take the heater a long time to warm up the entire place, so I have a second smaller space heater that I use intermittently just to offset any excessive winter chill.

Thermostat Accuracy:

The digital thermostat is fairly accurate once the heat is circulated throughout the room , however, when it first turns on there may be up to a five degree difference in temperature based on how far away you are from the heater. When I return home I usually se the thermostat a few degrees higher than my target temperature and turn it down after I have been home awhile. I have another thermostat on the opposite side of the room, as well as a ceiling fan and have found that after about 20 minutes or so the ambient temperature evens out.

Cost vs other heat sources

This heater produces a LOT of heat and so will use a lot of electricity if run continuously as I do. For comparison I had been paying hundreds of dollars to heat my apartment when I had gas but running this heater as my sole heat source (on high) will cost me between 40 and $100 per month depending on how cold it is. We had a month last year where it was regularly 14 to 30 degrees below zero for more than two weeks and this heater kept me warm, but it added about $100 to my electric bill. So if you have a primary heat source other than this one, remember to turn it down as low as possible, and to block off unused areas or you will counteract any savings this powerful little heater might provide.

Honest reviews on Lasko 5521 Ceramic Tower Heater

This ceramic space heater has two fan speeds. Both speeds are quiet considering their blowing strength. The heater can oscillate, moving about 45 angle degrees back and forth on its little lower section; this is very smooth, not jumpy like some cheap oscillating fans. The room temperature is displayed normally on a very bright LED readout that shows the set temperature once you go to set the built-in thermostat. All the buttons are easy to access and give a light beep for confirmation. You can turn oscillation on or off, set high or low fan speed, set temperature, or use an automatic shutoff timer up to 8 hours. Looks great, with a great fit and finish.

This unit is used in an uninsulated hallway to take the chill off, thaw out boots and clothes, and keep the cold draft out of the house. The heater has a small remote (line of sight only) and is programble for both high/low, rotation, temp, and timer operation or any combination there of. (yup you can run it on low setting in auto mode with the temp set)

The unit cycles to maintain a temp in auto mode by going 2 degrees over and under your set temp. So if you have it set to say 60 it will turn on at 58 and off at 62. I like this feature as it runs less overall. The rotation feature is smooth and quite, like the fan. The only loud thing on it is the thermostat, it makes an audible click like a bottle cap pop when the unit cycles on and off. Did not bother me but thought I would mention it. This thing puts out a lot of heat for its size and I was really amazed at how small it was, tucks in a corner nicely. Its perfect for an office, small bedroom (10x10), hallway or porch...

I monitored this unit with a Kill-a-watt power meter and @ .22cents per kw this unit is running about $24 per month to heat an uninsulated hallway in in old victorian home. We have it set @ 62 deg and the unit cycles on as needed. TO give you an idea its been about 25-30deg outside and the hallway befor the heater was 44 deg on average, colder overnight. So its raising the temp about 18deg for us ...huge diffrence...and worth it.

I recently purchased this for an office that is about 20' x 10'. When I first turned it on within 5 minutes the whole office area was heated. I had to turn down the heat to a lower heating setting (it has 3 settings) so the office area wasn't overly heated. The safety feature of automatically shutting off if it is moved or tilted is a really great feature. It would be nice if it had a remote control or a thermostat control to set a specific temperature but that shouldn't stop you in purchasing this little heating marvel. You don't need to point this heater directly at you for warmth. It takes the heated air and evenly circulates it throughout the room. I own a Vornado air circulator at home and use it during the hot summer months. It works great....that is why I purchased this product. It is basically the same Vornado air circulator only with a heater inside of it. It gets a 4 1/2 star rating from me...but Amazon ratings don't do 1/2 points.

This is my second Vornado VH110 purchase in 6 months. I have bought electric heaters before from different manufacturers and none of them withstood the normal wear and tear as well as the test of time like these Vornado heaters. Most of the ones I got at the big superstores caught dust in the grill after about 6 months of use and ended up just giving up and dying or even starting to burn the dust and grime inside stinking up the room and causing them to sound like a small airliner is about to land. Needless to say I had to bite the bullet and buy another one, and then another one and so on. A friend turned me onto Vornado heaters. I have to say I have never seen a small size heater heat up my high ceiling room so well, yet it only feels warm to the touch. This thing is quiet and seems to be very efficient it doesn't seem to burn the element inside as hot as the other heaters, and yet circulates the air a lot better then the 2700 watt higher powered heaters sold at Walmart. I am very impressed with the engineering of these little marvels and will recommend these to my friends too.

Honest reviews on Vornado VH110 Whole Room Vortex Heater

The heater is pretty good; it works well but the fan speed is a little low for my taste (I wish it had variable fan speeds). Some other models allow the fan to run even when the heat is off with the thermostat all the way in the cool direction which would allow you to use it as a regular fan, despite the low fan speed. All in all, it's a good heater and unlike some other space heaters, the housing on this one stays cool to the touch even after running it for a long while.

I have an office/photo-studio that is in a converted garage. I use window air conditioners in the summer and a radiant heater in the winter. When our first cold snap hit my DeLonghi heater just wasn't cutting it. Parts of the 500 square feet room would be warm while others would be downright chilly. After some research I decided on getting the Vornado VH110 and I am very glad that I did.

My other heater is large and heavy while this one is surprisingly small and lightweight. I can place it inconspicuously in a corner of the room and it will silently and efficiently heat the whole place up. My other heater is also a 1500 watt unit but it's the Vornado fan and it's unique design that makes it would so well. I would encourage anyone who buys one to read and follow the directions as it has some safety features that are important to be aware of, such as the automatic shut off system in the case that it gets it's airflow blocked and tip-over protection that will also shut it off if it is tipped more that 10 degrees. I love my new heater and hope to be enjoying it for several years to come.

Cheap Swizz Style F-007 Fred Humidifier, Red

Customer Ratings:

The company sent the humidifier very quickly and in good condition. It is a funny looking thing. Reminds me of a red spaceship. It will get noticed in your home by friends. It's so different looking then the standard humidifier.

This works like a teakettle blowing a medium or low amount of steam depending on the setting you choose. It is very quiet. During the day with TV volume and conversation you can't hear anything. At night when it's quit you can hear the water boiling but it is not loud enough to be annoying. Best there are no extra filters needed and all it takes is a weekly cleaning to remove the lime buildup.

The unit itself stays cool to the touch during use but the flow of steam is hot right where it comes out so you will need to use caution with very young children. This unit stands very securely; I feel it would take a pretty hard hit to knock it over. Also the water is in a separate container inside.

The instructions do not say the area this humidifier humidifies nor the amount of time it takes to empty the water tank. On low my empties in about 8-10 hours. The electricity used is 200w for low and 300w for high setting. The low setting works well for me. It has auto shut off when the water runs out.

I have this product for about three weeks. It is very easy to add water to. It is also easy to do the weekly cleaning. It does not leak or leave any kind of water stains during use.

One problem with the unit is that it is made out of plastic. The nozzle through which the steam comes out of is plastic painted with silver paint. The paint started to bubble near the top inner part of the nozzle on my humidifier. If the bubbles break it will not look so great. That is why I'm giving this product 4 stars instead of five.

There are almost no reviews on the web about this product. I believe it sells in red, silver, black and a lime color. If you like the unique shape don't be afraid to give it a try.

I prefer warm mist humidifiers because they don't create the white film that the ultrasonic humidifiers leave behind. Unfortunately, my 'Fred' came with a broken leg due to poor packaging by Amazon (tsk-tsk), so I had to return him. (I'm pretty sure it's a 'he.')

I purchased this item a couple of years ago and thought it was great. I was refilling it recently when I found that the top was stuck to the base, upon inspection I could see that both sections had warped, evidently due to excessive heat. Considering I ran the humidifier all winter long and filled it two to three times a day I knew this had happened very suddenly, it had been working perfectly and came apart easily a few hours previously. I believe this could have created a fire hazard had I not discovered it in a timely manner. I sent an email to Stadler Form (the manufacturer) telling them what had happened but heard nothing back from them, apparently they are not interested in complaints. I won't be buying another.

We just had a newborn and in need a water heater so we can have access to boiled water 24/7. Those 1.5 Liter water kettles can not keep up with the workload, 4 Liter is the perfect capacity. We can not use our Zojirushi because of the chemical coatings on the interior. We do not want to take any risk, the interior has to be stainless steel, absolutely no plastic.

We are glad we purchased this water heater. The interior pot is made of stainless steel. There is a night light under the sprout turns on when the water dispense is unlocked. The light illuminates the area right under the sprout, it is so convenient for us to prepare formula in the night without turning on all the lights. The night light also tells you approximately where the water will be dispensed at.

The other feature I really like is the 3D dispense button. The dispense button is big with chrome finish. My old zojirushi dispense button is one layer of PVC plastic that close to wearing out after a few years. The 3D dispense button on this secura water heater is easy to access and hard to miss.

The water dispense starts slow and after a few seconds the flow volume increases, so the water does not splash out. Another very nice feature that we really love.

My previous hot water pot suddenly gave up the ghost; its pump simply died. That was annoying, it would heat up just fine, but no way to dispense the water save ladling it out with a soup ladle. We did get about five years of constant use but I was not going to buy the same brand. After a lot of research, I could find complaints on any brand but this one seemed to have a lot of features and no bad reviews (so far.) I got the stainless and white model; it also has a black version.

First, this has a lot more features than my previous model the Sunpentown 3 Litre Hot Pot. This model has a choice of temperatures (from 208 to 194 to 175F.) There is a dispensing lock. When unlocked, an orange light is lit and not only is the light indicating you can dispense water, but it lights up underneath as well. I noticed when I was filling my teapot, it made it easier to see the water level in the pot.

There is a gauge to show water level and a beep tells you that water has reached temperature. The dispensing button itself is a hefty wide lever on the top, not a button under a membrane. Already, I'm liking this model a whole lot more than my previous one, and the price is about the same. The inside is stainless steel and the capacity is 4 liters or about a gallon. So it does take longer to heat up than the 3 liter model I had before.

There are two speeds for dispensing, which you can choose underneath. The unit will automatically shut off if there is insufficient water inside. And there is a descaling cycle. The outside is warm, insulated from the inside. It is not cold, but is pleasantly warm and you can touch it while the pot is on.

That's a lot of features and so far, I'm very pleased. It is superior to my old one and it's nice to have a supply of hot water for tea all evening and weekend long.

This is an amazing water boiler, my old boiler is still working but the Teflon coating on the inner pot starts to come off. May be I did not clean the pot as often as should. I got this boiler with stainless steel, hopefully I do not have to worry about the issues with coatings. So far it has been great, I like the thermostat settings. It boils water to 212 degree and keeps boiling for a few minutes to kills all the germs and softens water. And you can choose to keep warm at 208, 194, 175 degree, and you can set it to auto cool which does not use electric to keep warm. If you do not care about the water temperature like us, choose auto cool. It saves energy and water still keeps warm all day.

Honest reviews on Secura 4-Quart Electric Water Boiler and Warmer AirPot, 18/10

The overall construction and operation of the product is very good. Water can be pumped out using either the electric pump or the manual pump at the top.

The interior is all stainless steel which is the reason I bought this one. However, after a week of boiling and cleaning, I could still taste plastic in the water. So I dissembler it to investigate. It turned out the problem is with the lid. The hot steam gets into the lid and then condenses inside the lid. The inside of the lid is made of plastic parts; only the part you can see is made of stainless steel. The steam condenses on the plastic and then back-flows into the pot and therefore contaminating the water.

This is my second air pot purchase. My first air pot was an inexpensive one with no temperature control. I figured "Why do I need temperature control? It's going to boil water then keep it hot so I can have tea without waiting for a kettle to boil." I was so very, very wrong.

You see, I live in Denver, the "Mile High" city. I realize many things I purchase; cake mixes mostly, have directions for high altitude cooking that I usually ignore. They turn out fine anyway. But an air pot is different than a cake. It does only one thing. It boils water then keeps it warm. Here water boils at about 202*, 10* less than sea level.

Most air pots come from Japan which is most definitely sea level.

The first air pot NEVER stopped boiling. It was desperately attempting to reach 212*F and all it was succeeding at was adding moisture to our air, which admittedly we need but not what I bought it for. I returned it with disappointment and spent the time awaiting my refund looking at other air pots.

I believed, during that time, I was going to be stuck ordering the Zojirushi at twice the price because it was the same one as my mother in law's, the person who showed me how wonderful air pots are. Then I came across this. It was much less expensive so, with Amazon's return policy having worked out well once, I thought I would give it a try. It arrived, I filled it up, set it to 194* though the box proclaimed it boiled water to 212*, and then waited for all the water to boil away once again. The water came to a boil and I walked away. It was going to take a long time to boil away 4L of water, but to my surprise it beeped a short time later! My water was boiled and not being held at 194*. I emptied it, filled it again and got the same result, plus it had gone through the recommended couple of boils to clean it out.

It has been only five days but the family is in love. There are three ways to dispense; a button on top, a manual pump, and the convenient little cup button underneath. And the light is a nice touch and a big, orange light lets you know when it is unlock for dispensing and it doesn't stay unlocked for too long; excellent when there are little button pushers running around the house. It also seems to be keeping the water at a consistent temperature, but I will have to simply trust it on that as my candy thermometer claims it being kept at 238*F. I think I can safely assume that that needs replaced (and would explain why my last batch of fudge turned out so horribly).

Condensed version of this; great air pot, highly recommended!

setup is.. Since I kept my 1st Hayward filter & added a Larger Filter

.. to give me more days between backwashing the (2)Cartridges.

I also got the Threaded version (Cheaper& better to install.). since it

means I don't permanently cement into the Valves, but use 2" pieces

to more easily fit into my system upgrades, later allow the threaded

pipes to unscrew.. My old system had many junctions cemented. Now I can more easily adjust the systems layouts as desired.

Also very fast 2 day Amazon Service.. Tho they repackaged the original

shipping 4x6" box into a much larger 14" box.. Wt 2.7 lbs.
