These portable heat pumps are good. I have the 12000 btu version as well. If you try to cool a room a couple degrees just realize how long your furnace or air condition takes to accomplish the same task. Do not over size as this will cause the compressor to short cycle plus it will not have a chance to dehumidify. Try to heat/cool open spaces. Once unit catches up to set temperature it maintains it well. This is not a miracle fix all, give the unit time.

This is the second one we bought. We really like it because it not only works very well, but also shows the present tempature in the room. No other ceramic heater that we've bought does this. It's competively priced with others being only a dollar or two off the competitors prices. Well worth the money!

This is really good and It can reduce our electricity energy consumption noticeably. Because we actually turn off the home's heating system and use this heater. Noted that it is good for a 5*5 meter room.

Works fine the only thing I did not like is that you can not set the thermostat with the low wattage setting only on HIGH.

Honest reviews on Lasko 6221 Flat Panel Ceramic Heater, 15-Inch

Have had this for 24hrs and we already love it! We bought it for use in our nursery because the temp is difficult to maintain during the winter. We set it at 75 degrees and during the night both of our thermostats in his room (one on floor and one on top of shelf) were within 3 degrees of each other, which tells us it does regulate the temp VERY well. Our only issue is every time you touch a button it has a high pitched beep which could disturb our sleeping baby. But since you don't have to touch it after you set it to auto, we don't foresee this being a major issue.

Update up front: The digital display partially burnt out after a couple of months. The heater still works great. I took a star off my original review.

Orignal review: This is a great little heater for assisting your existing heating system to reach the target temperature that you would like your room to be at. It has a built in digital display thermometer that displays the room's current temperature. It is programmable to either shut off after a set time or to maintain the target temp. It comes on if the temperature drops one degree below your target temp and stays on until two degrees above the target temp is reached. The one flaw in this product that I can not find as a feature, and I could be wrong, but it does not seem to have a failsafe for shutting off if knocked over. Maybe that isn't needed with this variety of heater?

I just bought this a few days ago because my bedroom has massive windows that are hard to insulate, a cold front just swept in, and I walked to my place on Friday and my bedroom was 62 degrees. My roommates aren't here enough for me to throw money at our thermostat.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

I actually was underwhelmed when I first turned on the unit. Hot air slowly raises from its grate. It doesn't blow out sideways like you'd think. So, the first night, I placed it on the floor and used my laptop at the edge of the bed so the low velocity hot air would actually hit me directly. I was going to take it back the next day.

But after an hour or so, the room warmed up from 64 degrees to 72. When I left my bedroom to get a drink, the frigid air from the rest of my house greeted me as I opened my bedroom door and I ran to the refrigerator to get a water bottle before running back to the warmth of my room. At that point, I realized this product was perfectly fine, I just expected something that was more direct.

WHAT THIS PRODUCT IS FOR:

This product is something you turn on in an enclosed room to gradually heat it. That it has a thermostat setting indicates this, as it will turn off when the room reaches a certain temperature (you can set it 65 to 80 degrees or just "Always On").

This is *not* something you turn on and sit in front of when you're cold. For this purpose, you might want a radiant heater or a ceramic/fan heater that shoots the air out with more of a velocity. This product lets the hot air ooze out of it because it heats the room through convection.

I actually give it 4/5 stars instead of 5/5 because it doesn't do a good job explaining its purpose on the box. The 180/360 degree marketing stuff is just misleading and the feature of being able to close half of the grate is just a gimmick since this product is terrible if you buy it as something to place next to your rocking chair.

PROS:

Super light. Move it from room to room. Take it to the bathroom with you. Take it to your girlfriend's house. No big deal. Try doing that with a heavy portable oil-filled radiator.

Looks great. Just a black minimal tower and I like contemporary aesthetics.

Comes with a remote control which makes sense since this is something you could place in the corner of the room and it still works.

Quiet but definitely audible. I like the breathy low velocity sound of this heater, but if you want 100% quiet, go with a radiator.

Comes with a timer on it (1, 2, 4, 8 hours)

Works.

CONS:

The whole 180/360 grate cover is a gimmick. I just leave half the grate covered as it faces my bed, but it's more of a mental thing since I won't feel the heat until the general temperature of the room rises anyways.

Air slowly rises from it. You can't feel heat with your hand half a foot away from it at grate level. You'd have to move your hand away from the device up at about 45 degrees to follow the heat. This isn't really a con since this device isn't a spot/fan-forced heater, but I'm trying to make this point clear.

This heater works great! My bedroom is 13x11 and our furnace broke this last winter (Detroit, Michigan area) so it got pretty cold, and this heater worked very well. Needed one with a remote if I got hot at night so I would not have to get up and mess with anything, just one click on the remote and it would be off. Kept me very warm on many 10° to 20° nights here in Michigan. I would buy it again. Just as a tip, the heat that comes out of it comes out at a 45 degree angle upward, not like straight out. Meaning, you should probably set the heater on top of the box it came in to elevate it and get better heat spread like I did. (Just a personal note, I do not use the "360 mode" I don't think it works as well, but the "180 mode" works flawlessly!)

The remote lets your turn it on, off, fan on high or low, and set the temp. Infra Red remote so you can point it in the general direction and it will work. (Expectantly at night, half asleep!)

Best Deals for Honeywell Ceramic Surround Heat Whole Room Heater w/ Remote Control

I purchased this space heater thinking it would be a quality product since it is made by Honeywell. I could not have more wrong!! I am on my third unit and it is going back.

The first one wouldn't shut off when it reached the set temperature.

The second one clicked and clicked, made the lights flicker and seemed very unsafe. Used it twice.

The third one worked for a wee bit but then it started in like the others. It clicks and shuts itself off even when in the full on setting, or before the time selected is up, as soon as 5 minutes after turning it on.

When it did work it did a nice job of heating my 14x14 room. It can't handle a room larger than that though.

Save yourself a lot of trouble and buy some other heater. This one is horrible!!! I only gave it one star because I had to fill in one.

In all fairness I have to say this product still works as a heater, but it is overpriced and is really annoying to use. I would suggest you get the $20 Lasko ceramic heater which works much better and gives the same heat.

First of all the $60 price really doesn't give you much more feature than my $20 Lasko heater. If anything, this honeywell is just bigger, takes more space but doesn't give more heat (it has the same wattage: 900W and 1500W).

However the most annoying thing about the Honeywell heater is the digital control. It defaults to Hi heat and in order to change it to low you have to press the button 5 times, that's because they combined the Hi/Low settings with the thermostat settings. So the state goes from Hi, 65, 70, 75, 80, Low. I like the Low heat and I turn this thing on and off often, so it's really annoying that every time I want to use it have to push the power button, and then press the temperature settings 5 times just to get the Low heat settings. That's 6 times pushing the button! My lasko heater can do this with just one switch.

This heater is just the right size for my

reminds me of the old wood & coal heater.

It is a shame that the feet (legs) do not come

with the unit. It is a nusiance to have to order

them from a different supplier.

I think the price of the 2 plastic feet is a little steep.

We installed our Kozy World KWP122 10,000-BTU heater in our 150 sq ft pump house to prevent the water pipes from freezing. We had been using an electric space heater which we felt was more expensive to operate. The pump house is minimally insulated and we have a water treatment tank and well tank in the building. So far the Kozy World have been doing a great job of keeping the pipes from freezing. It was especially important to have a thermostat. My only disappointment was that the thermostat is not calibrated by degrees of temperature but just 1,2,3,4,5. So far the lowest setting is doing the job.

I replaced the 16,000 btu furnace in my mini-motorhome with one of these. I get better heat, no noise, use less propane and NO electricity. I had a heater like this that was branded "Empire" and it worked very well. This is perfect for cabins and as an auxilliary heater. If the power goes out, this heater could save you from a cold night. Good quality, low price. The safety specs are a little pessimistic. They produce lots of radiant heat, so the heat won't travel far, and a good bit of convection heat goes straight up. No criticism at all, except I don't expect it to last as long as a furnace.

This is a wonderful heater, while not taking up too much space. Everytime I turn it on, my cat immediately goes to curl up next to it. It is a safe for animals/children to be around, as it is sturdy and does not get hot to the touch. Helps to offset the cost of heating in our home.

Reviews of SPT SU-3751 Ultrasonic Pig-Shaped Humidifier

Sale Price: $29.00

We were very happy with the first SPT SU-3750 Ultrasonic Penguin-Shaped Humidifier humidifier we bought, so we a pig, and eventually, five more penguins. I liked the penguin better than the pig from the start, and I still do, even though my review for the penguins is now less favorable than it was at first. I haven't bothered to look for a replacement.

DO THEY WORK? Yes, the our only pig and four of the six penguins do. I can run the penguins faster than the pig, because mist starts leaking out around the pig's face and getting the shelf wet if I turn it up too much (or don't get the face seated right.) We usually run each penguin for about 18 hours, and the pig for 20-22, with each roughly 1 gallon tank-full. Mist starts coming out immediately when you turn it on.

MODEL: I don't like the pig as well as the penguin because the mist comes out the pig's snout, which is not at the very top. It's easy to not get the face seated correctly on the body, and then mist comes out all over, getting your shelf wet. Even it the face is seated properly, if you run it full steam, some mist comes out around the edges of the face. (Not to mention that mist comming out the snout is a little gross. Also, the red light by the knob makes the pink bottom part glow in a dark room, which I find slightly creepy.)

NOISE: Most of them are pretty quiet, altough they do generate some white noise, and you occasionally hear bubbles as the base "gulps" water from the tank.

CLEANING: I rarely do. I love that these stay pretty clean with basically no maintenance. We had a cool mist humidifier with a filter that quickly grew all kinds of orange stuff, and warm mist vaporizers that create black shale-like stuff in the tanks, so these penguins are better. I use regular tap water, and we do get a little white dust/mineral deposit film from these (which is much worse with one unit than with the other three), and after a couple months I've noticed stuff starting to grow, mainly in the parts where the mist comes up & out. It would be nice if the base didn't still have a bunch of water in it when you take off the tank, so you could easily let everything dry out every now and then or so to keep stuff from growing.

FILLING: You take off the face, lift off the tank (the clear part), flip it over and unscrew a cap on the bottom of the tank, and fill it in a sink or bathtub. It's nice that it fits in a regular bathroom sink. It would be nicer if you could bring a jug of water to the pig and fill it in place, without turning it upside down, or at least if it wouldn't drip when you carry the tank.

SUITABLE AROUND KIDS: Yes. The mist & units are cool, so little kids can't get burned. And they're cute. My 2 1/2 year old loves "raking the smoke", slicing a spatula through the mist. He does turn the ones on the counter on and off.

MAKE SURE: 1) It's high enough above the floor that the floor won't get wet. (A 42" counter is fine, lower may be ok too.) 2) the tank is seated properly: a couple bubbles rising will let you know that the tank is back on the base correctly. Otherwise, it will use up the water in the base, then stop making mist even though the tank is still full.

This is a really great humidifier if you're looking for something inexpensive, with no filters to replace. It's very simple, easy to use and really puts out a lot of steam (adjustable, of course). Since it goes through the water quickly, it doesn't build up pink gunk like other more expensive humidifiers weve tried. The only thing that's a little tricky is getting the water tank back on the base without splashing a few drops. But overall, it's a pig with steam coming out it's snout! What's not to love?

I've had this humidifier for 2 years now, and it's still going strong. After two years, the LED light indicator has definitely gone out, but the main function still works well. I've never had a problem with leaks. Other than the LED light, this humidifier works just as well as the day I bought it. Great value for a simple product.

Honest reviews on SPT SU-3751 Ultrasonic Pig-Shaped Humidifier

I ordered this pig last month, and I don't know how I ever lived without it! I run it mostly while I'm awake, as I have a fear of running appliances unattended, but lately I've caught a cold and have been running it at night as well. Not only does it work wonderfully (great control for mist output!), but many of my friends have expressed how jealous they are, as they own plain, boring humidifiers. So unless you're really boring, don't feel silly buying the pig!

Refilling is easy, and I've had no issues placing the tank back on the base (it was somewhat tricky the first day, but never again). Although it's not the recommendation, I've been using tap water, with no negative effects so far. Though, I do plan on switching to filtered soon, as I love my pig and want him to have a good life.

I bought this AC unit during the excess heat wave this summer. The unit, (once properly vented) works really well for cooling my bed room but it shuts off when the water needs drained. Durning these hot temperatures this is after only 2-2.5 hrs. Draining the water is not an easy task because the drain is only 1 inch from the floor so you can only use a really really shallow dish. It does come with a hose to connect to a drain for continous drainage but the drain must be below or at the same level as the AC unit.

This drainage problem makes the unit NOT useful for long term cooling (you can't run it all night or use it to cool while at work)

As a long term solution I am working on buidling a stand to set the unit on for continous drainage into a bucket but it is heavey and vibration makes noise a problem. Other portable AC unit have a collecting bottle which is easy to revome for drainage.

I bought my Sunpentown in May of 2005. When it arrived the LED display was broken and the 12,000 BTU air conditioner was not capable of cooling my 150 square foot room. I called Sunpentown and explained the situation. They said that as long as the output temperature was 20% cooler than the input temperature the unit was considered to be functioning properly.

Do the math. If your room is 95 degrees, a 20% reduction means that the air coming out of the AC is still a sweltering 78 degrees! A 12,000 BTU air conditioner should turn my tiny room into a meat locker, even on the hottest days. The Sunpentown struggled to make the room comfortable anytime the temperature exceeded 80 degrees. Since the LCD was broken I decided to have them replace my unit hoping that I might get a better one. The second unit worked as poorly as the first, but at least the LCD was visible.

As others have noted, drainage is a constant issue with these units. Mine would only run for 3-4 hours before drainage was required so I wound up putting it on a stand and running a hose from the discharge area to a 5 gallon bucket. There is simply too much water produced for it to successfully blow out the exhaust hose. It should be noted that my unit only had 1.5 feet of exhaust hose with no bends so it was an ideal installation. If you have any bends in the hose it will only make matters worse.

In August 2006 the unit quit cooling the air. The compressor would kick on, but no cooling occurred. I called Sunpentown but since my unit was 3 months over the 1 year warranty they wouldn't do anything. My only option was to ship the unit to their facility at my cost, have them diagnose and repair the unit at "flat rate" (but they wouldn't discuss specific prices) and ship it back to me at my expense.

Not wanting to incur $175 in shipping charges PLUS the unspecified repair fees just to return my Sunpentown Portable Air Conditioner to its unacceptably poor level of functionality I sent my unit to a place it truly belongs THE LANDFILL.

If a normal window unit won't work for you, save yourself a lot of money/time/aggravation and buy a giant industrial size fan. Sunpentown builds lousy products and provides lousy service when those products fail.

My experience with a Supentown Portable AC Unit is very similar to what 'Thorion (Rome, NY)' reported. I purchased a WA-1200E in June 2006 and it died last week (end of June 2007). This unit was lightly used (less than 10 hours per week during warm months only) . I contacted their support staff and, although they were prompt to reply, they indicated that the unit was out of warranty and that nothing was covered. They gave me the option of shipping the unit (85 lbs) at my own expense back to their warehouse in CA. They would then determine what part(s) failed and charge me for the replacement parts, labor and return shipping. Their other suggestion / advice was to take it to a local repair shop of my choice and have them find out the problem...then order the replacement parts from them. Either way....TERRIBLE! For a costly unit like this it should last way longer than 12 1/2 months. DO NOT BUY!!!

Honest reviews on SPT WA-1230E 12,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control

I was shocked at how useless this thing was. I would turn this unit on immediately when I come home from work. The initial reading on the unit would say something like 95% (house was all closed up). The unit could not even drop the room temperature below 90%. After about 1hr the exhaust hose would radiate so much heat into the room that the unit made a better heater than air conditioner. The vents blow upwards as if to cool the ceiling. You cannot adjust them vertically. The unit is also very loud.

I returned the unit after giving it a try for about 3 weeks. The other pain is returning this. You have to put it back in the box it came in with all the paper work and then carry this 85 pound box to a fedex place to have it shipped back to the manufacturer. You have to pay shipping to send it back and you are not refunded that amount. Plus there is a 6% restocking fee.

Good riddance.

I bought this product in the summer of 07. I live in a room over the garage that gets the brunt of the sun and therefor reaches 78-80 degrees even with the AC on. At first the unit after running for a couple hours would drop the temp to 72 on a summer day but no lower. The first spring/summer I did not have to change the water at all. The next spring/summer it could only drop the temp down to 73-74 and I had to change the water 5-6 times. Now only less than 3 years later we are in the midst of our first 80 degree week. The unit is only dropping the temp to 75 and I've had to change the water twice in two days.

Please read everyone's review about how hard it is to change the water. I can confirm every complaint.

If I had to do it over I would have gone another route towards cooling my room.

Buyer beware this is not a simple installation. We hired a professional installer who read the directions thoroughly several times. He understood the unit would need to go into the wall six inches in order to mount flush with the wall. We thought our wall was 4 inches deep. He built a frame but after making the wall cut, discovered an iron pipe behind the cut. He then started over with a new frame and was able to complete the install. The cutting, frame building and time needed to purchase new materials required 10 hours of his time.......no small expense. The remote did not work. The company responded saying they will ship a new remote. The flame presentation is lovely. One thing we did not know until we read the installation directions is that when the light bulbs go out, the entire unit must be pulled from the wall to replace the bulbs.
