It worked exactly as it should. It was easy to install although I took off the plastic ring and just used a wrench, but that was just my preference.

There's not much to say if you own an espresso machine, you need this. Every time the machine boils water, any minerals fall out of solution the harder your water the more minerals resulting in sluggish performance as the heating element now has to heat through "stone". Used regularly, your machine will run as good as new, without the horrible smell and aftertastes of other decalcifiers, such as vinegar.

I used this descaler on my Tassimo machine. I worked fine and I am sure did the trick.

I wanted to write this review to warn everyone out there that this product will stain your granite counter tops. I had no idea. I set the bottle on my black granite and later found a stain in the shape of the ring left behind from the solution. Needless to say that I am totally bummed and saddened that my granite is ruined. If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please let me know!

Thanks.

This solution saved my espresso machine (the espresso stream had literally slowed to a trickle)! Just one bottle was enough to restore it to like-new condition. Now I'm finally able to make the same frothy espresso I made when I took my machine out of the box.

I've had this kettle for about 8 years and it works just fine. I use it on average 2 to 5 times a day. The whistle isn't quite as loud as it was in it's younger days, hence I've boiled it dry quite a few times, with no ill effects. The only drawbacks are the one quart capacity and dragging the cord around when I fill it. So, if you want an electric kettle for under $20, this is a good buy.

I bought this teakettle online after searching the stores for something similar. I drink tea several times a day, and my office is a ten minute walk from the cafeteria. This way, I drink tea whenever I want at a fraction of the cost. The water heats up very quickly, and the teakettle never seems too hot to hold. Everyone who sees it wants one of her own.

Highly recommended!

Best Deals for Presto 02703 Electric Tea Kettle

I actually own two of these kettles for several years now. One at home, and one to make a quick tea/coffee at work. They make a quick job of boiling water, have a very loud whistle and just excellent overal. One thing to notice though it will only hold three to four cups of water. Perfect for a small family, but not enough if you have more than 2 tea drinkers at home. I have not seen rust on either pot I own, so it's possible that the other reviewer had a bad unit.

Honest reviews on Presto 02703 Electric Tea Kettle

This pot has no on/off switch and so it sparks whenever you unplug it or plug it in. It will only automatically turn off if all the water boils away. I wish i had spent more money and gotten a higher quality product.

I got one of these for my 80-something mother a few years ago. She desperately wanted an electric kettle that reminded her of an old stovetop version yet was simple and safe, since her eyesight was failing. The Ptresto fit the bill and she loved it.

Unfortunately, the cleaning lady at mom's facility melted the cord somehow, so we got mom another. She likes it as much as before. We were impressed enough that we ditched our own more vertical model and got ourselves one of these.

Very handy for tea water, a cup of instant hot cider or cocoa on a cold evening, or some boullion. Or to just have some hot, hot water handy on the counter for recipe purposes.

We recommend it!

Review of InSinkErator H990C-SS Invite Instant Hot Water Dispenser, Chrome

InSinkErator H990C-SS Invite Instant Hot Water Dispenser, Chrome
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
I manage a few single-family properties and used Insinkerators on some of the units since the early 1980s. The early units had stainless tanks and will last anywhere from 5 to 8 years pretty good. The later units went cheap, using plastic tanks and usually crack within 2 years not that good. This unit in review has the SST tank, suppose to be stainless steal tank again for reliability. However I found it only lasted under 2 years, failing to dispense any hot or even warm water. The units I use within the last 10 years only lasted around 2 years on average. Many times it turn out to be a blown fuse, a few times between a bad tank or worn out on mechanical dispensing faucet parts. To save the fuse, don't turn up the temperature on the tank to maximum. I throw in a budget to replace it every 3 years, as it's not cost effective to call in service after the warranty period. Reliability experience on my own home use is about 2 years as well. I don't have enough hot dispensing units installed to have it statistically reliable, this is just my own experience.

Very nice when it works, could have been more reliable.

This is my fourth ISE Hot Water Dispenser. The first three lasted anywhere from 2 4 years each, before the tanks started leaking and the units had to be replaced. In addition to the tank problem the first two units had failures with an internal thermal switch. It's about a $15 part that was fairly easy to replace if you are somewhat handy with tools and are not afraid of working with electrical components. On my third unit, the hot water tank was redesigned to include a different type thermal switch that was re-settable, like a circuit breaker. That successfully eliminated the thermal switch problem. It seems that the design of the tank for this appliance is continuously evolving. My first unit had a copper tank, the next two had plastic tanks, which I hated, and now this one has a larger (2/3 gallon) stainless steel tank. Seems like a move in the right direction. Installation was easy. I've set the external thermostat (a nice addition) to 190 degrees and it heats the water to that temperature without any spatter. I've verified the water temperature with a digital thermometer. On the previous units I would get spatter at 180 degrees. Since I've only had this unit for a month, I can't predict if it's going to be more reliable then the previous collection I had, but so far it has performed flawlessly. I would like to add that even with the problems that I have experienced with the ISE hot water dispensers, for me it is a very useful appliance, and one that I do not hesitate replacing when it gets to a point where repair is simply not an option.

We installed the first InSinkErator H990C Hot Water Dispenser in 1999. We have replaced it twice. Both times the tank began leaking and flooded the space under the sink. We enjoy the convenience the product offers, but just wish the design of the tank was more reliable.

Honest reviews on InSinkErator H990C-SS Invite Instant Hot Water Dispenser, Chrome

This is a replacement for an older model H990 unit that was dying after 10 years of use. The upper portion of the unit is identical, but the undersink heater unit appears to be made of plastic, not metal, like the previous model (which had a copper tank enclosed in styrofoam enclosed in sheet metal). Notably, the other unit ran silent but this model--which you think would be an improvement--makes a very noticeable "roaring" sound when heating the water, audible over a low TV or conversation even from under the sink. Also, the water out of the tap is about 30 degrees cooler (170 vs. 200) at the "factory preset" thermostat setting. Product description on Amazon is confusing and contradictory: is it a 1 yr or 3 yr warranty? 120 or 115 volts? 2/3 gallon or 1/2 gallon tank? It gets the job done, but it's the little things like this that give the impression of diminishing quality from the InSinkErator brand, and at this price point you expect more.

I needed to replace a previous InSinkErator H990 instant hot water dispenser installed in our kitchen sink. I was not pleased that the prior model had failed in about three years time but decided to replace it with the newer model from InSinkErator. I was impressed with the design change that replaced a formerly plastic heating tank with a much more durable stainless steel tank. Also, I liked being able to keep the old faucet component and still hook up the new tank. The backward compatibility was a nice touch and can save installation time. I also like the new temperature setting large knob which replaced the old metal cover hiding the temperature adjustment.

Don't set the temperature too high or there is a lot of spitting and girgling at the end of each heating cycle.

The installation had no surprises and I was delighted enough to buy the same unit for my daughter and her husband and installed it over Thanksgiving holiday up in Boise. The unit is ideal for making single cups of tea or getting a head start on boiling water on the stove. The new larger tank 1/2 gallon vs. 1/3 allows more cups to be drawn in a short period of time.

I love this mattress pad!

My husband and I have an adjustable split king bed he has ALS, and needs the adjustments to assist with transferring in and out of bed and helping to make breathing easier... He is alway hot, and I am always cold. It is difficult to find things that fit our bed we need twin XL fitted sheets, and Cal. king blankets.. This twin XL mattress pad is perfect! I have it on my half of the bed husband doesn't need the heat at all. I set it on high about 5 minutes before getting into bed, then turn it all the way down to low or level 2 for a warm and toasty night. It has transformed my night experience!

Best Deals for Sunbeam Twin XL Heated Mattress Pad

If you have a twin XL-sized bed and want warmth, this is the pad to have. It fits a Twin XL bed perfectly and would fit a VERY deep mattress, if need be. The one thing I do not like is that the skirt around the sides is a pretty flimsy material, but since I plan on using another mattress pad over this one, to pad the wires more and keep it clean, I won't be removing/washing it too often, as I would the regular mattress pad. I pre-heat the bed on high, for a few minutes and then lower the temp to low(1) or 2, which I find to be perfectly warm all night long. You can feel the wires some through the pad, but I solved this problem by placing my regular mattress pad over this one. The included controller looks nothing like the one in the picture. So far, no durability issues. I will update, if I have any.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Twin XL Heated Mattress Pad

This mattress pad is great! We replaced another older heated mattress pad and this new one gets warm pretty fast within 5-10 minutes and can get almost too hot if it's left on High. It's so nice to get into a warm, toasty bed. This Sunbeam pad is highly recommended compared to other brands.

Duraflame quick start 6/4/6oz Firelighters Review

Duraflame quick start 6/4/6oz Firelighters
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
This product really works well to start a log fire in a fireplace. The problem is that the description doesn't make it clear as to what quantity you're actually purchasing, which is Duraflame's fault, not Amazon's. So, look at the product photo. The wrapped package in front of the box, is much smaller than the box. In that package is four "double sticks" of fire starter each "double stick" is split in half, each half is placed under the opposite ends of a log, with another log over the first one. Sooooooo, one package will start four fires in your fireplace. There are six packages in the box, so the quantity in the box will start 24 fires. That's what the "24" on the box means. You didn't know that? You need to work on your clairvoyance (#sarcasm).

I do hope this makes the package more clear.

We've used these for years to get the fire started in the fireplace. It takes awhile especially with a cold down-draft coming down the chimney, but using these to slowly warm up the chimney, then opening a window/door to let some cooler air in, helps the fire get going much faster.

Best Deals for Duraflame quick start 6/4/6oz Firelighters

work fine, but you need fairly small kindling for fire to be started properly. OK because in the dead of winter I don't really start many fires, just add to ongoing fire.

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I bought this about three years ago. Called with a question and got the answer from the first person who picked up. They still sell accessories and parts. Still answer questions etc.

The product itself is also very nice, reliable and well thought out. We have it installed with a timer so it is not going all day and all night. It is very reliable. Also, it is unique in that it can be mounted in either direction horizontally or vertically. Amba says you can mount it at any angle, though I do not know why you would want to do that.

I would have given it 5 starts only, it does have gaps and cannot heat the whole towel evenly like the glass ones can.

This fan works great to heat up a room but it does have its draw backs. The multiple temp settings and high/low fan setting are a plus. One of the things that I was looking for in a heater was oscillation and this one has it, but the problem is that it doesn't shutoff when the fan shuts off. It just keeps on oscillating! You have to manually switch it on/off. It is also a little on the noisy side and makes a slight popping sound as it turns from side to side. Safety feature-wise, it does shut off immediately if tipped over but does not shut off if covered. There is a warning on the box that items can burst into flames if placed on or too close to the heater.

Pleasant Hearth Ballard Providence Black Electric Fireplace Review

Ordered this for my wife for Christmas. She always wanted a fireplace in our bedroom and this was the way to go. I was excited...the package arrived before Christmas as promised and voila! No fireplace. The item came with just the mantle. The mantle is well made and fairly easy to assemble. As I unpacked the box I assumed the heater would be in the box. Nope. Nada. Zilch. I called Amazon and they were great in helping me resolve the problem. According to them, the item was under review, so hopefully it is fixed and the heater is included.

What threw me off was the BTU's given in the description...not too many mantles I know of have BTU's unless the heater is included! The item shipped was the mantle only and no electric fireplace. Hopefully Amazon found the heaters!

I too only received the mantle the first time I ordered. I called Amazon and told them that the firebox was missing and that there had to be 2 boxes because all of the order would not fit in one. They sent me another one and it did come with the firebox. I have it in my bedroom and it looks very nice. It has 3 levels of flame and 5 levels of heat on thermostat. They also work independently of each other and that was very important to me. I found this at other stores for much more money plus tax and shipping so it's a really good deal if they can get the order right.

Mantle looks nice and as described with easy assembly.

However, I believe the item description is wrong. Firebox is not included with this item. I ordered 3 different times after not receiving the firebox and each time a new one was sent all you get is the mantle and not the firebox/heater. I even had one shipped from manufacture and no firebox. I believe there should be two boxes as part of this delivery or the item description is wrong and you are only getting a mantle.
