Air Vent Filters 1 Pack of 12- 4x12 (Register Vent Filters) Review

Customer Ratings:

We have a forced air heating system which makes for a dusty home. I purchased these vent filters in hopes they would reduce the dust flying around and settling on furniture. We installed them a month ago and I really notice the difference in the amount of dust on shelves, dressers, etc. Before the filters I needed to dust every day (which I couldn't do) to keep stuff from looking dusty. Now I can do a normal once a week dusting and even then there's not much dust. These filters work.

We recently had a new baby so I wanted to find something that would filter any lingering dust in the vents in the house. My husband was really skeptical, but after a little persuasion (aka nagging) he put them in the registers. The first thing we noticed is that it decreases the amount of heat coming into the room so we had to adjust the thermostat to maintain the 72 degrees we're used to. After three months my husband went to change the filters as well as the furnace filter and was no longer a skeptic. It was amazing how much dust these filters had trapped. We now change these every three months and every one breathes a little better without the extra dust lingering in the air. I highly recommend this product especially to anyone who is waking up a little congested as it defintely helps!

Exactly what I wanted and the advertisement is exact. All you will need is something to secure them to any vent or where ever you will be using them. I haven't had to rinse them yet but it is doing its job. My daughter is not having her allergy attacks anymore so I am loving this

Just another way to add protection. Also great for renters. Moving into a new place usually the maintenance crew doesnt care about the place since they dont own it. They let all sort of junk fall into the vents. Then you move in and the air is push up right through all the junk. I say a must have for clean living.

We had a DGB-600BC and used it daily for about 4 years. The grinder assembly finally seized and we could no longer remove it. We had been looking around for a new coffee maker, anyway, so we went ahead and bought this one (DGB-650BC) at a local store.

We've been using it for a couple weeks now and it makes a fine cup of coffee, just like the last one did. I noticed right away, that a few things that turned out to be issues with the last model had been fixed or improved upon with this one.

1) The grinder compartment is much better separated from the water reservoir and also designed better for all the grounds to go into the filter basket. The older model always left a bit of a mess, both in the grinder compartment and on the little shelf that separated the filter basket from the coffee pot, and around the burner plate. I haven't seen any of that mess with this model. I can't tell you how happy that makes me.

2) The little shelf I spoke about in #1 is now gone. That's a plus. Since this maker is designed better, it isn't needed anyway. Also, this shelf caused build up around the door latch making it hard to shut after a very short time. I'm glad it's gone.

3) The filter basket door mechanism is far better designed. The old model I had to slam shut, sometimes repeatedly, before it would stay shut. This one has a much better and more sturdy hinge mechanism and latch.

4) New to this model (the old one didn't have this) is a window on the side so you can see how much water you're pouring in. It's clearly marked and has a red floating ball to make it easy to see. I really like this feature.

The grinder seem a little louder than the old one, but I've never met a coffee grinder that wasn't loud and it's only for a very short time. I love having freshly ground coffee first thing in the morning.

As far as cleanup goes for the grinding assembly and filter basket, it only takes a minute or two. Aside from the coffee pot itself, there are 5 pieces to clean and it really is quick and easy to empty the filter basket and rinse the pieces.

In short, this is fine coffee maker, much improved from the DGB-600BC, and I am happy we upgraded to it.

I love the new look! We had the older version for about 6 years. This new one is sleeker and much easier to clean and keep clean (the inside where the grinder sits gets cakey due to condensation). I got it for $149, used Amazon Prime, and had it in a few days! I love it. If you're thinking of getting this grind and brew with stainless carafe, it is nice. Some parts will have to be replaced over the years like the older version, but the taste of the freshly ground coffee every day is worth it. I never pre-heat the carafe like the directions say because that defeats the purpose of the timer. I've never had an issue with the coffee temperature, it's always hot! I also recommend hand-washing over dishwasher. The carbon filters are similar to Brita and can be found for cheap at Kohl's. One other note is it only makes 10 cups as opposed to the typical 12 cups. This is fine for me because it's just me and my husband, but if you need to make a ton of coffee regularly, this may not be a good choice. Overall, I love it and I'm glad I traded up!

Let me start by admitting that I am a novice when it comes to drinking coffee, much less owning coffee machines. This is the first coffee machine I've ever bought, but I've been very happy with it thus far. If you purchase it, definitely read the directions as there are a couple of small points they bring out, that you wouldn't otherwise know. (For instance, when you place the goldtone coffee filter in, the handle which can rest in either direction, must face outwards.) I just mention this, since I am usually one to NOT read directions, and I'm sure most others who have owned coffe machines wouldn't either, but it seems valuable in this particular case.

The main reason I went with this unit, was Cuisineart had the only ones in Bed Bath & Beyond which can be programmed to grind then brew. I leave it on my desk at work, and have it programmed to grind/brew right before I arrive in the morning. And it's awesome. Only used it several times so far, but no complaints. Cleaning is relatively easy but (like any other coffee brewer/grinder I assume) you have to clean it every day. Not a big deal though, so far I've just been taking the grinder and filter parts out, and rinsing them out. Not sure how important it is to use soap...

The most valuable thing I can tell you, that you won't read on the box, is that the thermal caraffe REALLY DOES work great. I don't pre-heat the caraffe, since I have it sitting out from the night before. I have mine programmed to start brewing at 8:30am. And believe it or not, despite the fact that there is no heater that runs after it's done brewing... the coffee stays HOT for a long time. It stays piping hot for several hours, and even at 2:30pm, it is still drinkably warm. I never expected it to stay that warm for 6 hours, far exceeded my expecations.

Easy to program, but you have to remember to press the Program button each night before. Although, that's not really a big deal since you have to add water and all the other stuff anyway. It's a safety feature really.

Grinder noise isn't super loud, and it only runs for 60 seconds so who cares. Mine is sitting on my desk in my cube, but I program it to run before most people arrive in the office so it's not a problem.

Very short 2ft. power cord with the unit, which will be great for kitchen countertops where you can put it by an outlet, otherwise you might need an extension cord.

Can't speak about reliability. Hopefully they fixed some of the issues people had with this unit's predecessor. Will revise my review later if I have issues.

I've rated it 5 stars, for $129 I feel that I got what I expected and paid for, and really don't have any complaints. I also haven't seen ANYTHING in the market that does what this does, in the same price range. Is there not a demand for coffee grinder/brewers? I mean, why wouldn't you want to have something that you can program to do both before you even wake up? For me, there was no other choice.

Cuisinart has a more expensive model than this one, but it was $70 more and the only feature that really seemed to be valuable was it's "burr grinder" which is supposedly better. But it didn't seem like that was worth $70 more to me, so I thought this was the best value.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart DGB-650BC Grind-and-Brew Thermal 10-Cup Automatic

I ordered this coffee maker knowing that Cuisinart produces very fine products but I have to say I am not real happy with this particular product. The grinder grinds the beans VERY coarse which doesn't make a very strong cup of coffee so I'm back to grinding my coffee with my burr grinder. The setting for 1-4 cups does not make the water warmer as advertised (it comes out luke warm) so I just don't push that button when making a small pot of coffee. I do find that when brewing a full pot it does keep the coffee hot for quite a while. I think, if I order another Cuisinart coffeemaker in the future, that I will pay a little more and get the coffeemaker with the burr grinder and with a hot-plate instead of the thermal carafe.

For those who want grind and brew features this is the best product for the money. There are the higher priced models but some of us have to stay on a budget. Compared to the earlier version, I've had 3 of the earlier ones; they do tend to break down after 2 years. This model has significant improvements. The best is that it is so much easier to clean the grinding area. The earlier model was next to impossible, this more open design makes it possible to actually get those beans that get into the grinding area out.

In reading the other reviews I did have a few concerns.

1. The sediment from the filter: Well that's the reality of permanent filters. So it's convenience of not having to get those paper things out and over to the trash. If that detail is annoying use paper. Even the high priced machines have that issue and Cuisnart clearly informs you of this issue with a notice before unpacking the product.

2. Noise: The review that goes on about how noisy this machine is. Gad face reality, these are coffee beans getting ground up in somewhat large area in an enclosed area without a lot of sound insulation. It is going to get loud. No louder than a regular coffee grinder and a lot quieter than a garbage disposal. To avoid having the noise in the morning I do the unthinkable, grind the beans the evening before. OK, I'm not a purist.

3. Coffee not the right temp: Face reality, the carafe is going to be the same temp as the room it's sitting in. So it like most people who turn down there temp in their house at night to let's say even 68 degrees at night or even 70, the the physics say the carafe temp is going to be 70. Now, brew coffee and when it gets into the insulated carafe the temp is going to average out. Since the insulated model doesn't have a warming plate, you're may want to take into consideration that you're brewing into a room temp carafe and the coffee temp is going to cool down. Cuisinart clearly informs you that simply warming up the carafe with hot water before brewing takes care of this issue. I easily deal with this when the machine starts brewing you have a good 30-45 seconds before the first drop comes out and the machine does have a function to keep coffee from coming out unless the carafe is properly placed. That gives plenty of time to run some hot water into it, get the inside temp up and the result is coffee at the perfect temp. Now I do have to say that it is very easy for me because I have one of those instant hot water faucets at the sink so I don't have to wait for the hot water to start flowing.

There have been some very good user oriented changes to this model. It's not perfect, but for the money it's the best you're going to find on the market. Take the critics in these reviews with a grain of salt.

Of course one of the reasons I am really, really happy with this machine is that I ran into it when Amazon had it on sale for $110 with a $30 rebate from Cuisinart. My final cost was $85!! I called customer service to see how the rebate would work. They told me a mail-in coupon would come with the product. When the product arrived ( 3 days later, and I used the free standard shipping during the holiday period) there was no rebate coupon. I called customer service and their response was "we'll just add a $30 credit" to your account. I was expecting getting a run around anticipating that they would put the problem off on Cuisinart. But no, Amazon steps up to plate, resolves the problem in less than 1 minute and the credit appeared on my credit card the next day. Now that is customer service!!

My hats off to Amazon to putting the customer first. Beyond the coffee maker at $85 final cost with free shipping, I have to say that Amazon has matured into a very customer focused retailer. They have moved beyond good prices and the convenience of shopping at home; they are real competition to the brick & moter stores. Amazon's focus on the customer actually gives the retail experience a lot of us remember in the "old department store" days.

I have never taken the time to write a product review, but I do enjoy having them available to get unbiased reviews and input. This time I felt it was only fair to take the time to put a realistic perspective to some of the negative reviews while at the same time expressing my positive experience with Amazon. For me Amazon has primarily been a convenience factor, now I shop with them because of their dependability and customer service focus. Price is not the driver for me anymore. I've just learned that if I really want customer service, the most reliable and predictable place to shop is Amazon!!

MY HOUSE IS less than 2000 sq ft. 4 yrs ago my central A/C WENT OUT 3 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. So could not afford to buy new one at 5 grand, thought I'd be smart & install window units & close of rooms not in use. Last summer lived in one room, still having electric bill in the hundreds, I said to myself can't do this another yr. WELL this unit has changed & saved my life, who would have thought 1.5 ton unit would cool my whole house down so much! It was painless install too, the hardest part to INSTALL IS ELECTRIC had to run 230/240 over put in A/C fuse box close to the outside unit,then uncoiling the copper tubing one small one larger, is the most difficult thing, as it is aways the opposite(to uncoil) of what one wants to do as far as uncoiling the copper tubing, so pay attention to that otherwise its all very easy!

HOW DOES IT WORK? Its AWESOME, can cool my whole house down. ( I collect the water to water my orchids) Get 5-7 gallons a day of fresh water, that really blows me away. My electric bill has gone down alot, last month paid $120. where as last yr it was $300 for 1 room. Another great feature on the unit is the little air deflector, it moves up & down causing the breeze to change helping to disperse the coolness, this unit is so nice I had to have an AIR CONDITIONER party for it, everyone was amazed. My friends are jealous & one was angry that I did not tell him sooner, hell I didn't know 'she' (call everything good a 'she')was going to be so great, its my second love especially after working outside in the heat all day & come home to a dry cool house, wow! For under a grand after spend a small fortune on window units, this unit is very inexpensive, I say its the best deal in here! Don't hesitate just buy it you will be amazed like I was. You do need a vacuum dryer to help suck the lines dry, otherwise you don't need an installer. You can get most airconditioner guys to do this for $50 to 100 bucks well worth it, your unit will last longer & run great.

It's 105 out now just got this unit installed before the heat wave hit in my one room apartment. HVAC guy took about 6 hrs to install and it works great. Cost me a total of $1,500 compared to a quote of $4,000 from the local H/C Shop. It is a little more than "whisper quiet" but who cares I am very happy. Will report back on energy usage.

The AC Unit did not work initially after installation. The HVAC contractor who installed the unit for me had to work on the unit several times over a two week period to find out what the problem was. Once he determned what was wrong with the unit the fix was easy. The unit now runs but does not seem to pull all the mooister out of the room as other units do.

Alhough the price was good on this AC unit, if I can't find someone to get it working right then the savings were not worth the problems.

It cools wonderfully and is quiet enough; however, from time to time water pours out into my floor. HVAC installer say it is faulty construction of the unit and is refusing to accept customer service recommendation to check if the drain hose slants downward. Still wondering is the unit or the installer?

This is suitable for heating your personal space when it isn't practical to heat a large area. I'm using it in my unheated garage to make myself comfortable enough to work. This heater is not for heating whole rooms.

The heater gets hot almost instantaneously and cools down quickly once shut off. You must keep combustibles away from it! For some peace of mind, it shuts off if tipped or even picked up. Still, you need to be careful.

Four stars instead of five because you cannot use this on your work surface and tilt down towards your hands. However, when placed on an object at your side at about hip height, the angle of the heater does perfectly warm your mid and upper body.

Review of Suncourt HC500-B Flush Fit Brown Register Booster

List Price: $65.73

If you can figure out the thermostat dial for the automatic shut-on/shut-off, this product can make the affected room two degrees cooler (although it remains two degrees warmer than the rest of the house). Initially we got it figured out and were pleased, then it got knocked out of whack and took some tinkering to get it set properly again. Now it seems to be working its two-degree magic again. The key is to get it set so that it sucks in the cool air when the A/C is running, but does not suck in the warm air after the A/C stops running.

As for noise, it really is not bad. Even on the High setting, it probably is less noisy than the oscillating fan we already use.

Finally, it's not as ugly as I thought it would be, but it has a VERY bright blue light on it that you may want to cover with tape.

First and foremost, I want everyone to understand that this is NOT an air conditioner or furnace, nor does it create colder or warmer air. All it does (and claims to do) is move a little more air out of a weak register. Another thing...do NOT expect this unit to be as quiet as your old register. Your old register didn't have 2 fans running...this register will. Anyone expecting to spend $35 and solve an entire room's HVAC problems has extremely unrealistic expectations.

That said, this unit has worked decently for my HVAC needs. I live in a 3-level condo, where the bottom floor will normally have a 10-degree difference from the top. Unfortunately, the top floor happens to be the bedroom, the one room that temperature actually matters. Rather than do some extensive modifications to the house, I figured I'd give this unit a shot.

It's a pretty cut and dry operation, with an on, off, auto-heat and auto-cool setting. The latter 3 settings all have low-medium-high fan settings. From the way some people were talking, I was expecting this thing to possibly sound like a box fan, though I was relieved to find it to be much quieter than that. It was, however, still noticeable when it was on. Airflow was maybe 50% better than without, although it didn't quite seem as powerful as I was hoping. I'm almost positive that these fans are almost interchangeable parts with a computer CPU fan. The Auto Heat/Cool functions are nice, but take a good amount of tweaking before you get them in the right place. Be prepared to have to make at least 3-4 adjustments, minimum.

After doing some other research, I found that many people have come up with an answer to the semi-noisy fans, and I figured that I would try it myself. If you turn the register over and cut the air grates off the backside, it will make a drastic improvement on noise. (See attached picture) I would go as far as to say it's a 50-75% improvement of overall noise. People also claimed a 50% improvement on airflow, although I personally found it to be maybe 25% better, if that. I would, however, HIGHLY recommend this modification if your primary complaint about the register is how much noise it makes. One word of caution though...this modification will likely void your warranty, and you will NOT be able to return the item. Choose wisely.

Lastly, I bought this as an open-box item and got it quite a bit less from Smarthome. When it showed up, I couldn't even tell it had been opened. It was probably from someone who didn't care for the noise and was a like-new return. If I were looking to pick up one of these, I would strongly consider an open box item.

Summary:

PROS:

-Works fairly well (4-6 degree difference on 3rd floor home)

-Quiet after modification

-Good value given other expensive options

-Auto Heat/Cool functions

CONS:

-Semi-noisy fans if left unmodded

-Somewhat short cord

-AC adaptor gets pretty warm

-Auto Heat/Cool takes some tweaking

Final Thoughts:

I would definitely recommend this for around $30. If you pay $50, it's getting a little steep. If you're afraid to cut off the rear air grates, you may not care as much for this product, as it yields a drastic difference in the noise level.

The fan cycles with the flow of air very nicely and the noise level is not annoying. This unit was a great purcase and has performed better than I expected.

Honest reviews on Suncourt HC500-B Flush Fit Brown Register Booster

I put this in my daughters room upstairs which typically reads about 5 degrees cooler in the winter than the rest of the house. On the low setting this really didn't make a difference, temp difference was less than 1 degree. When I put it on the medium fan setting though we were able to feel a difference it seemed. According to our portable thermostat the room was reading about 2-3 degrees hotter than it was before. I was really impressed it delivered that much, seeing how it doesn't create the heat, it just tries to pull it through the vent. Plus in a 2 story home, the upstairs typically is always colder anyways.

The only down side to this unit is the fan noise. If they put in quieter fans in this this would be awesome. Other than that, really I can't imagine anyone would use this higher than the medium fan speed because medium is not quite at all and high is just too loud for my comfort.

I bought this item on May 4, 2010 to pull some extra air into a small bedroom without a return vent. It definitely improved the situation, particularly when used on the high setting with the door open. Unfortunately, the high setting is also rather loud, much more so than it could be if better parts were used.

The biggest problem, however, is that, today, after two years of use, the unit caught fire. I noticed a burned wire smell coming from somewhere in the house and just made it into the room in time to see it spark and ignite. I yanked the plug out of the wall (which was extremely hot) and covered the fan with a blanket until it went out, leaving a black mark on the carpet. Needless to say, I would not recommend using this unit.

Customer Ratings:

It's true you get what you pay for, whether it's cars, tv's or air. The Maxxair 4000 delivered maximum blowing capacity for a flooded basement. After returning home following a 2 week absence during subzero conditions, I was greeted with a broken supply line to the ice maker. The water had been leaking for days with over 3" of accumulation in our new log home's basement. We hadn't finished drywalling the basement and water was dripping off the ceiling like a rainforest. I rented 4, 1250 cfm units from the local rental agency until the 2 Maxxairs arrived 2nd day delivery from Amazon. I had the 4 rentals lined up on the wall directly below the broken line and the wall was still dripping wet after after 31 hours of blowing 82 degree air. Within 48 hours of using the Maxxairs the entire basement walls, ceiling,&floors were completely dry with no warping! The cost of 4 rental was just a bit more than the total cost of the 2 Maxxairs. Since the purchase, my neighbors used them for quick drying paint and I've leased them twice through word of mouth for other unlucky homeowners with waterdamage.

This blower really moves plenty of air. It seems well made as the housing is roto-molded polyethylene. It's a bit heavy though due to its large size, but what do you expect for a fan that moves this much air? The cord on it is actually 25 or 30 feet long (description says it's 10 feet long). After searching the net extensively, I came to the conclusion this blower was the best breeze for the buck. No other high output fan came close to the price of this one.

The intake grilles are plastic and the output grille is wire. The squirrel cage inside is stamped steel (as are most). There are 3 speeds and the only downside to this thing is that even at its lowest speed it's sometimes too much air for what I'm doing. I use it to ventilate my shop for welding fumes among other things.

Overall, an excellent buy since it's got Free Super Saver shipping (and I'm in Hawaii to boot!) Cost to ship this thing would be very high otherwise.

Honest reviews on MAXXAIR HVCF4000 4000 CFM High Heavy-duty Carpet and Floor Drying

This unit clearly moves a lot of air. However, the first unit I received had an off center squirrel cage blower and vibrated horribly, particularly at low speed. I had to spend $80 sending it back to the manufacturer who promptly replaced it with another unit under the warranty.

The second unit also has a vibration caused by a visibly off center blower. It was not as bad as the first one, but was not satisfactory. I wound up using a Rigid blower to dry a flooded basement, which is lower capacity, but which ran smoothly on all speeds with no vibration.

I was most disappointed with the MaxxAir PB 4000. Many dollars invested for an initially poor result. Update: The second unit was just replaced under the one year warranty and the manufacturer paid the return freight. The service level of the manufacturer has been outstanding. The manufacturer's customer representative was most helpful as we worked through this. I have now been served well by the manufacturer and am satisfied with the current replacement product.
