I bought this heater to heat my garage/shop in the winter months. This heater work great, and its adjustable heat settings is a great touch. Only downside to a heater like this is it will empty a 5lb propane tank in half a day. Great price, great product.

This heater is even better than i thought. The supply line is thick and pliable, the 3 temp settings work great and at the 55 setting it has no problem heating my uninsulated 20x20 garage in 30 degree weather. This is my second Desa heater and this one blows my old 35,000 btu one away.

Very nice heater. Very powerful for its size. It does put out a fuel smell as it burns.This is my first experience with propane heat from a torpedo style heater. I thought ther would be little to no smell while burning but I was wrong. After being in the gargae while this burns, you can smell it all through your clothes (bad). Oh well, at least you stay warm. Nice heater for the price.

I've been using this starter kit for years now and love it. I am a long time X10 user and these are much more reliable. Programing was easy. I did purchase a programmer right from the start. Lots of features. If you like X10, you'll love these. They are what X10 should have been. I have had one 'noise' problem though. I have a 12v halogen track fixture who's electronic transformer started to generate so much noise that even these signals couldn't get through. They were on the same breaker. The Electronic transform finally failed all-together and the new one doesn't cause the problem. Just in case, though, I installed a noise block on the transformer when I replaced it. To put this in perspective, had I been using X10, the entire system would have stopped working when the transformer started generating noise, instead of just one circuit. These are easy to use, very noise immune, have a high quality look and feel. I recommend them.

So I started with the basic plug-in starter package (Dkit-02) and it works great for my living room. I decided to change out more switches in my home so I picked up a basic starter package.

First, this wasn't as easy to install as the plug-in package but it still wasn't too bad. You have to know how to install a wall switch. Using the existing wiring from the old switch, you just use a wire nut to put these in. Pretty easy to learn if you haven't done so but remember to turn off the breaker first. If you know nothing about electrical wiring read up on it or have a friend/electrician do this for you.

So after the install, these were pre-configured to work with my four button switch that came with my plug-in package. It worked fine but I wanted to customize my installation.

I ended up having to get a programmer because I wanted to change some things (The buttons on the controllers have a lot of functions that can be used). Once I had them up and running, they work great.

I also picked up the timer module that simply automated sells. The front porch switch is controlled by the timer module. It comes on at dusk and goes off at dawn every day (it also accounts for daylight savings and calculates dawn and dusk depending on the time of the year for my location). I don't even have to touch it anymore. I can turn my living room and dining room lights on or off from any room in the house. I can also shut the upstairs lights off. On vacation mode I have a few of the lights come on and off at random.

It's pretty cool stuff!

I had to call tech support a few times to ask questions but there was no wait, they knew what they were doing, and they were very friendly. My type of support!

I can't say enough good things about these products. I definitely recommend them.

Living in a 1920's house has it's drawbacks. One of them being icy breezes when its below zero outside. I have modern central heat but why heat up the whole town? I did already have a sappy 1500w convection heater but all it did was warm one side of my ankle while drying out my eyes with it's noisy fan. So I shopped around for an infared heater. I choose this one because it a) oscillates, b) is silent, c) is 2 feet tall. I needed something that would go under my computer desk and keep my whole side warm, not just my ankles. I admit this does the job nicely. Crank it to 800w to heat up the surroundings (about a half hour) then turn it down to 400w for the rest of the night. I had it a few nights now with temps outside dipping into the low 30's.

Pros:

It's like an electric fireplace. Toasty!

It's cheap to buy and run.

It is totally silent.

It is tall, and with the oscillation going it will heat you from head to toe without burning you.

Cons:

It's lights on high are about as bright as a 60w bulb, and on low about a 40w bulb. Granted it is a more pleasant warm sunset color light but it is very bright. You could never use this openly in a room facing you. It has to go under a desk, or at least facing a wall. You literally can't look into it more than a few seconds without going blind. This is why I gave it 4 stars.

It's very light and fragile feeling. Don't know how many years of use it will survive. I think if it is knocked over a few times it will break. However I can't ding it for that until it actually does break. I just spilled a drink on it and it is still going lol.

Over all a good investment if you can place it in such a way as to not become blinded by it. :)

I bought this heater because it is energy efficient with two heating levels of 400 watts and 800 watts--significantly lower than most space heaters. I bought it to replace an older 1500 watt space heater that I used in my sunroom in December which significantly raised my monthly electric bill and I mean 4 times higher (I have gas heat). I am hoping my January electric bill will return to a much lower level with the use of this comfort zone flat panel halogen heater. I will need to wait until the bill arrives to see if this will be the case. There is no blower on this heater altho it does radiate heat to the immediate area. It does not heat up the entire room and this room is the size of a small bedroom but it does heat the space around me enough to use the sunroom for eating breakfast, lunch or reading. The unit shuts off if it is moved even slightly--a good safety feature. It does have two very bright heating elements which my pets do not like and therefore they keep their distance (a good thing). The casing does get warm to the touch but not overly hot. I only use this heater while I am in the room--approximately two hours a day. It may take longer time to heat up the entire area of a small room however I do not believe it was designed for whole room heating.

We have had Halogen heaters before and like the heat they put out. This one does a nice job, burt we have recently noticed that if it stays on for long periods of time there must be a overheat switch on it, because it will cut itself off. We wait a little bit of time, unplug it, then plug it back in, and it goes again just like normal. Overall we like it.

Honest reviews on Comfort Zone® Flat Panel Halogen Heater CZHTV9

I am a conservation analyst for a living and I bought this to save on heating costs. In my apartment I only have baseboard heat. The heat from this unit is instant and a soothing, fireplace type of warmth. After one month of using this heater to supplement my baseboard my electric bill dropped in half. I now recommend this product to my clients.

Last year I bought a small radiant heater for my bedroom, just something to keep my face warm and I really loved it. This year I wanted something bigger to keep me warm in the living room and it's perfect. It's heat is very nice, like having a moveable fireplace. It's also lights like a fireplace, that warm glow, without the flicker. So if you want this for a bedroom at night, you may want something different.

Proctor Silex 45802B Hot Pot, Blue Review

Proctor Silex 45802B Hot Pot, Blue
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
I purchased this product in the mistaken belief that it was a kettle; i.e. that it boils water and then turns off. It doesn't. It boils water, and any other liquid one cares to put in it, but then maintains the temperature at a given level.

To that extent the product is very good value for money.

It has no visible heating elements so scale is not a problem and it looks nice. As a hot pot, the only drawback I can find is that a gap develops between the back of the lid and the handle when pouring liquid. This, of course, means that steam can escape and provide a nasty shock by scalding one's hand; nothing fatal, just a little annoying. The other annoyance is that there is no "Off" switch, which means that I have to take the plug out when I have finished using it. However, for [the price] I can't really complain too much.

While researching inexpensive electric kettles for the occasional in-office cup of tea, I checked for capacity, ease of cleaning, etc., but I never thought to check if it would actually TURN OFF. After ordering this 45802 Hot Pot I failed to note that the temperature dial goes from Warm to Boil but has no actual Off position. After boiling my first cup of water on Friday (which did work nicely) I left, only to come back on Monday to discover that the pot was warm! Luckily there was still some water in it and no damage done. In addition, I have also found that the way that the lid seals near the handle is prone to leave a small gap through which boiling steam will escape as you tip it forward, thus exposing your hand to an unpleasant surprise. I think that someone let the junior engineer work on this one and would choose another model next time.

Update (01/02/13) While the missing 'Off' stop is annoying and I have learned to pour and avoid the steam, I have used this kettle for over 7 years, nearly 5 days a week and it is still working without any problems. I guess I have to up it's rating from 2 stars to 4 based on extreme reliability.

This hot pot was the only (!!!) kind of electric tea kettle available anywhere locally (checked WalMart, KMart, Big Lots, Hall's Hardware, and the grocery stores).

What I strongly dislike about the pot is the fact that it doesn't switch off automatically once its content has reached the boiling point. It also doesn't have an off switch, so make sure you unplug it after every use!

Another safety hazard is the lid: I have scalded myself several times because I hadn't put it on exactly right and hot steam was coming out of a small opening right where you put your thumb. It would be much better if this pot had a flip-top.

I wish I had done some research and purchased a kettle online!

My only complaint is figuring out how much water to use to heat the bottle. The instructions indicate the water holder should be filled to the taller fill line to heat an 8 oz bottle and the shorter fill line to heat a 4 oz bottle. Well, my 4 oz bottles are sometimes too hot or cold and you have to wait 10 minutes before using the unit again. I have had to use the faucet to correct my over or under bottle heating. I still like this bottle warmer and with practice I will figure out the correct amount of water. The night light is great and the insulated cooler is another nice feature.

I am using the Avent bottles and this system will accomodate the 9 oz Avent bottles if you use the MINI-BASKET. The mini-basket will also hold baby food jars. The 4oz bottles fit in the warming chamber with the regurlar basket.

I can't speak highly enough about this chiller/warmer. Every night I know I will not have to go downstairs to get a bottle, warm it, and bring it back up while baby is crying.

Now, all I do is take the bottle from the chill compartment (complete with ice pack), and place it, with a capful of premeasured water, in the warming compartment and hit a button.

While I change baby's diaper, the bottle is warming, and I am ready to go. This equipment has been a godsend. Actually, I can't think of any equipment that I could live without less.

No complaints whatsoever about this great bottle warmer.

Best Deals for The First Years Night and Day Bottle Warmer System

Former reveiwers listed that the Night&Day does not fit the 9oz Avent bottles. It does. In fact if you read the instruction booklet, it clearly stated that you use the bottle/jar basket for larger wide-mouth bottles. This unit come with two baskets, one for standard and smaller wide-mouth bottles like Avent, and another to warm baby-food jars and to accomodate larger bottles like the 9oz Avent. So have no fear in purchasing this warmer, it clearly does the job!

Honest reviews on The First Years Night and Day Bottle Warmer System

I've heard some say this is the best warmer available. If so, parents are S.O.L. Heating is SO inconsistent. Same amount of water with the same amount of milk will produce a different temperature every single time. Sometimes way too cold and sometimes way too hot. When the heating indicator light turns off you must be right there to pull the bottle out or it will continue to significantly warm the bottle without any water medium. Be sure to loosen your bottles cap during heating and check to see that the travel disc is not in place. Otherwise, the bottles (esp. Brown's) will overflow. If that happens cleaning the inside of the warmer is a major hassle because the milk will have burned onto the heating plate. The carrier is too short for Mr. Brown 8oz. bottles or any other of similar height. The tubes provided to premeasure water are a joke. The caps are so hard to close and open you need two really strong hands and maybe multiple tools to shut or flip the tops open. Of course, you will likely be holding your crying and squirming baby in one arm while trying to do open the cap and not spill all the water. They tried to get fancy with the shape of the tubes and cap they forgot to make them easy to use.I just can't believe that someone can't design a better "mouse trap".

To add insult to injury, the taps on the handle that are supposed to hold the top of the bottle storage compartment just broke off...

JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you've got money to burn.....just burn that to keep you warm!!! I purchased 4 of these heaters when I had my boiler go out mid winter of 2011. One never worked right out of the box. When I returned it to the store....they wouldn't take it back. So....out $65.00 right off the bat! One went out the first month....and One worked...on and off...for about 3 months then started burning and power wouldn't go on again. Packed the last one up to move to my rental house this winter and now that I need it....it won't stay on either and smells burned immediately. 4 heaters x $65.00ea ($260) in less than 10 months.....none left working!

I have had lasko tower heaters work for 10 years, that cost less. I also have small Lakewood $10.00 metal box heaters that have worked for years as well.....this COMFORT ZONE heater is JUNK!

I will NEVER purchase anything from Comfort Zone again!

OH....btw....go on google and just TRY to locate a customer support number or address for them!!!!

I purchased 3 of these heaters 2 months ago. I've only had to use them full time the past few weeks. All three have stopped working in the last week. One of them started putting out smoke before it quit working altogether. Only buy these if you don't need them to last very long, and if you'll be able to monitor them while they're on. They lasted just long enough to not be able to get a refund.

I bought this heater in the fall of 2010. It had a made on 8/2010 sticker on the bottom. It worked very well. Always kept the room nice a warm. However, in November 2011 I started noticing a burning smell. Then power button (not the on off button) stopped working. Then today it just stopped working all together. I noticed on the bottom a burn mark and hole. I looked around the area where it was sitting and sure enough my carpet has burn marks on it now. I took the bottom plate off to find that the coating around the small wire connecting to the power button had burned off and the wire disconnected. The wire was lying on the bottom of the unit, hence the burn mark. This is why you should never leave these space heaters on unattended. So in summary, it works great until the it starts to melt down!

I'm not going to say that I'm a "heater" expert but I got a pretty good idea how one is "supposed" to work. This heater sucks ***. I have an average size bedroom just barely knocks the chill off, makes noise, AND the worse of the worst...it cuts on and off for no appartent reason (I got 2 at 2 different places/times so I know its not necessarily defective).

Another thing that you might find funny is that this looks "exactly" like the Lakewood heater I previously had...except that the name on it is different. I think somebody trying to run game. Bottom line keep searching (cause I am) & try your luck on another one because this one is some crap if you have an average size room and want one without the noise or cuts off all the god dangin time.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a voluntarily recall for Optimus Portable Infrared Radiant Quartz Electric Space Heaters model numbers H-5210, produced in 2011 and H-5211, produced in 2012. The CPSC in Safety Recall Number 13-191 advises anyone having these heaters, "to stop using this product unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product."

You may find additional details about the recall in the CPSC bulletin at:

http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2013/Optimus-Recalls-Portable-Electric-Heaters/

The CPSC advises customers who have purchased the affected product "to immediately stop using the recalled heaters and contact Optimus toll-free at (888) 672-5832 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or online at www.optimusent.com and click on "recall" for more information for more information." Sounds good, right?

I did both of those things but:

1. The Optimus site at the web address given had no "Recall" button on it, or anywhere else on the site I could find.

2. The phone company gave me a recording that the phone number was not operational.

Finally, a call to the CPSC let me know that "this company is being "difficult about the recall," but that the CPSC compliance officer is working on it.

I don't understand how this heater could now be offered for sale after being recalled.
