I'd seen Warmrails in a store, and ended up at amazon looking for the cheapest model I could find. We had more towels than we had towel racks (a wife and three kids can do that to you), and my towel was rarely completely dry for my morning shower. I wanted, if nothing else, an extra free-standing towel rack to put it on to air dry. So I tried this.

It worked better than I expected. Not only is my towel dry each morning for my shower, but when we put two other towels on it after the kids have a bath, they're dry by morning as well! Three towels, folded (so there's a six-towel thickness) neatly over the top of the rack will dry just fine in just 8-12 hours -and the innermost towel ends up nice and toasty warm (the outtermost will basically be room temperature, maybe just slightly warmer on the half that's closest to the rack, but all three will be completely dry).

Some reviewers were disappointed their towels weren't toasty-warm -in that case, I'd suggest a higher-priced model with denser heating elements, or putting extra towels on top and using from the inside. The manual does point out that how well it works will vary according to where you put it in your home -in particular they recommend against any drafty places. Ours is in the master bedroom, just outside the master bath, and even with a ceiling fan on at times, it seems to do just fine.

All in all, it's more expensive than a towel rod from the local home store, but you don't have to attach it to the wall (a plus for me, as I didn't know where I'd put it if it weren't free standing). It's also probably cheaper on the electric bill (and easier) than dropping towels in the dryer each day.

I was very disappointed with the Warm Rails. The only thing that was warm was the 1 inch space of the towel on the top of the rail. I left it warming overnight, no improvement. I would not recomend this product to anyone who desires warm towels.

I bought this towel warmer as a gift for my husband and was horribly disappointed with it as was he. The bar got very warm while the towel stayed nice and cool. We even tried the suggestions of putting several towels on it at a time, this too failed. This product may be okay if you're looking for a drying rack but don't be fooled in to thinking that it will warm your towels.

Honest reviews on Jerdon Warmrails Mid Size Wall Mounted or Floor Standing Towel

I got this about a week ago. I use this everyday to prevent towels from smelling like mildew. In winter, the towel seems to take forever to dry after shower, which often results in that foul smell. I don't think it "warms" the towel too well (barely lukewarm at best), but it does dry a wet towel pretty effectively. Prior to getting this warmer, I washed all towels after 2 showers, but now the towels smell clean and fresh longer. So don't buy it to use it as a "warmer," you may be disappointed. But it would be good to use as a dryer. And, oh yeah, I wish it were a bit smaller in size. It takes up quite a bit of space. Happy shopping!

I sooo have wanted a heated towel rack ever since I saw a hard wired one at a luxury home I visited. So I was thrilled when I saw Warmrails at the superstore near my home. It was priced at $49. I didnt buy it that day, but did return a few weeks later. It wasnt on the floor, so I made them get it for me from the storage room.

It was very easy to assemble you just snap the "feet" stands on. I was also impressed at how little floor space it takes up. I have a 3 ft X 15 ft bathroom, and the WarmRails takes up very little space and lines up well against the wall without actually touching it. The chrome is also an attractive design and finish, although mine didnt come with a wall mounting bracket.

Functionality is very 'meh'. Like the other reviewers, I am dissapointed with my Warmrails. My towels are not warm. The bar gets hot and the towels are fresh and dry, but not warm. I even out my robe on there and it didnt get warm either. Maybe this thing is good for households who re-use towels over and over and leave them hanging damp on the rack. When my towels are wet after the shower, I just throw them in the laundry (which doesnt amount to too much as I'm living on my own right now.) So I get fresh dry towels anyway.

I'm going to try to return this thing today and get my money back. I'll do some research and see if I can buy an actual towel warmer that *warms*.

I purchased this item on Nov. 2, 2011, (received it on Nov. 9, 2011), replacing an existing heater that had gone out. It was easy to hook up to the existing line that was already installed in the room from the old heater. I have NO complaints about the heater, I love it, it does everything it say and then some. It has a glass plate along with a screen in the front of it, which at first when I read that it's a 'cool touch' heater, I was very sceptically about that, but honestly it is very cool to the touch, even in the front! The only place the heat comes out is at the top and us having dogs in the house, makes this very comforting to me, as our old one was a 'brick' burner heater and it did leave the front open to being able to get to the flame and the bricks and possibly getting burnt or worse. In an approximate 15x15 area room, we can comfortable set it around 1-2 on the dial and stay very toasty with it. It's a dual gas heater, meaning you have have either natural gas or propane to hook it to, we have the propane, which there was nothing to do but hook it to the right line hole, (which are very clearly marked) and didn't have to worry about setting any other settings with it, it also has an electronic push button ignition, which does not even take batteries to work it and comes with a bunch of safety features as well. I plan on getting a larger one to replace the old brick burner we now have in our living room, but first I would like to let you know about the seller we purchased it from through Amazon, Northern Tools & Equipment, it states both here on Amazon and Northern's website that it comes with a blower,(but can't be used with this model), IT DOES NOT! I have went through countless emails back and forth about this between Amazon and Northern Tools, they, (Northern Tools & Equipment) just keep telling me that they will refund the money if I send it back to them and AFTER it passes THEIR inspection, which anyone will tell you that it won't after being hooked up! So, when I order my next ProCom heater I WILL NOT order it through Northern Tools & Equipment! I will make doubly sure that it comes from another seller and not Northern Tools! They will not stand by what they sell as far as what is suppose to come with it. I have no problems with Amazon, I have purchased many, many items over many years through them and will continue to make purchases through Amazon, they are a great company to buy from, they strongly stand behind what they sell and they have done everything in their power to correct this problem, but Northern Tools & Equipment refuses to co-operate, except as I stated earlier to return the product and refund my money after it passes inspection. So, if you want a very good heater that is easy to hook up and does what it says it will do, then I highly suggest the ProCom heater and it does come with a one year warranty included.

I purchased this unit to replace a ProCom 10,000 btu unit I had gotten in Quartzsite, Arizona 7 years ago. That unit worked fine until last winter when it wouldn't stay lit. I thought this was the same unit until I received it & it said on the box "not for use in an rv" It also said that it would not work above 4,500 ft. None of this was mentioned on the web site. I returned it having to pay postage both ways.

Best Deals for PROCOM Blue Flame Wall Heater - 10,000 BTU Output, 300 Sq. Ft

I purchased mine on sale at Northern Tool while visiting my in-laws during Christmas of 2009. I grew up in the family plumbing business so was able to install the gas line myself, but those without experience will need professional installation. If you are replacing an existing appliance it is a non-issue. Otherwise, gas pipe and installation will cost more than the unit itself.

We live in Appalachia where power can go out for days and intended it to provide backup heat for one room. Once installed, however, the warm glow of the blue flame was irresistible and it has been on every winter since. We set its thermostat slightly lower than that of our inefficient central heat which now kicks on just often enough to disperse the heat and provide ventilation. This appliance has paid for itself in savings on our gas bill! It is supposed to only heat 300 Sq. Ft., but 700 Sq. Ft. is comfortable with a sweater when power is out and outside temperatures are below freezing.

We used to run our generator constantly when power was out just for the furnace fan, but since we bought this we can rely on a $100 inverter to cool our freezer an hour in the morning and evening and watch TV a few hours a night. Instead of standing in the freezing cold every 6 hours to refill the generator, we could fill up our Jeep once every two weeks. We live near the well heads, but if natural gas would be interrupted it will run about 3 days on a 20# propane grill tank (left outside).

Honest reviews on PROCOM Blue Flame Wall Heater - 10,000 BTU Output, 300 Sq. Ft

An Excellent, well-built little heater (I now own two of this model).

The mandatory things I needed included:

1. A room sensitive/automatic thermostat (NOT the low-med-high manual type)

2. The size needed to be around 10,000 BTU's

3. That it was made by a trusted company

4. Priced low enough to fit my retirement budget

This unit fit the bill perfectly. I have used a much larger PROCOM heater as my primary living space heater for many years and, as long as I clean out the pilot every year (shut off for the summer), it runs perfectly.

The good:

The unit was well packed and the Installation instructions were accurate.

Everything needed to install the heater(including wall mounting anchors/screws and an allen wrench to UN-cork the gas port) was included.

The unit has a glass cover plate that extends across much of the front burn area (behind the metal grill) which serves as an added flame safety device, dust shield and draft blocker (to keep the pilot from being blown out) which is really an excellent idea. Access to this area to service the pilot is via four screws, two at the top and two at the bottom of the front grill.

-The igniter spark is strong and consistent. Once air was out of the gas pipe the pilot lit quickly and stays on.

The bad:

Nothing to speak of.

Notes:

As a dual use type (can be set to either Natural gas or Propane) it has two internal regulators and independent pilot systems. You should note that the pilot on the right is for the propane. It burns cleanly and fully covers the thermocouple which glows red as it should.

The gas pipe inlet ports are located on the bottom left as you face the heater. I ran my 1/2" black pipe to the left of the heater which allowed for a gentle "s" type curve of the flex pipe. I also purchased the Mr. Heater F271239 One-Stop Universal Gas-Appliance Hook-Up Kit which has everything you will need (except a gas pressure tap which is optional as long as you know your line pressure is in spec.)

The temperature sensing bulb is on the back of the heater very close to the bottom edge. Being on the back, you should be aware of the temperature of the wall you are mounting the heater to. I needed to mount one of my units on a cement wall which constantly radiates cool air during the winter. To minimize excessive and false thermostat turn-on, I insulated the wall behind the heater with 1" hard board insulation then used 2x4 pieces to stand the heater off the wall. So far, so good.

Summary:

The unit burns cleanly with a perfect blue flame and It puts out a good amount of heat for the modest size of the flame area. I liked the heater so much that I purchased a second one and will now be able to run the entire winter with the oil burner off.

Good luck and stay warm!

I purchased this heater locally for $99.99 and have been thrilled with the results so far. First of all, this heater is perfect for small enclosed areas, but may not work as well in larger open spaces. What I love most about this heater is the automatic thermostat, timer, eco-setting, and built-in fan for quick heat circulation. The jury is still out as to whether or not this is actually efficient--after all, the purpose of purchasing this heater is to SAVE MONEY. Perhaps I'll return with a follow-up review after my bill is received.

Note: This heater is also available online at Walmart for $94.84, free shipping.

Honest reviews on Source Green Heat 4-Element Infrared Heater

I purchased one of these heaters locally. When I plugged it in and turned it on, the readout flashed "E3". There is no reference to this in the included user manual. I checked on their web site, there was no more information then what I had in the 6 page user manual. I called during their normal business hours to seek help, I received a recording telling me to call back during their normal business hours (which is exactly when I was calling). I sent them an email to which I have not received a reply. Broken out of the box, with no support from the company equals 1 star and a product to avoid.

Dimplex CS4416 Compact Electric Stove Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I use two oil-filled heaters to heat my living room, dinning room and kitchen, which is an open area without walls with an area of about 600 sq ft. There were a few problems with this method. Oil-filled heaters take a long time to heat a large area and all the heat goes straight up. The Dimplex heater solved these problems.

In the morning it would take two or three hours to raise the temperature by 3 or 4 degrees. I replaced one of the oil-filled heaters with the Dimplex. Now, it takes half the time to get the house warm. Another advantage of the Dimplex is that it has a quite fan that gently blows the heat from the bottom onto the floor. Before it was very warm in the house, but the floor was like ice. Now, the heat is more evenly distributed and the floor is much warmer. I can feel the heat on the floor from over ten feet away.

The thermostat, which is just a round knob without any markings, does a good job at regulating the heat. You turn the knob up on high then when it gets warm enough you turn the knob down until you hear a click. To make it easier you could put marks on the knob so that you can better tell where to set the knob. You can also turn off the heat and just watch the flames on the logs. It has a remote that plugs into the wall outlet and you plug the heater into the remote.

At first glance, the flaming logs look very realistic. When you turn the unit completely off it still looks like there are embers burning. I assume it is because there are a few very small places on the logs that appear to have reflective colored mirrors. It is a very nice feature and makes the stove look even more realistic. I built a 2-inch high 2x2 foot freestanding hearth out of ceramic tile on a plywood base and placed it on my carpet with the heater on top. This adds to the illusion of realism and protects the carpet. Since the heater does not get hot on the top, I placed an ivy plant on it just for a little decoration. I love the whole look that it creates.

The Dimplex stove solved my heating problems. It is small enough to fit anywhere. It is portable so that I can either move it to any location or store it in the summer and it looks great. I highly recommend this heater.

Really trying to cut down on the oil use this year, so we're adding a couple of electric heaters. I got this for the den/tv room which is a decent size, but fairly well-enclosed. This thing is so easy to use, the flame looks great (kind of bizarre actually I forget it's fake) and in a short time it really heats the whole room quite comfortably. They say it's very economical to run (I'll see), but for the cost of about a quarter tank of oil it's great!

Best Deals for Dimplex CS4416 Compact Electric Stove

Quite a bit cheaper to run than my gas wall furnace and the flames look real enough. The only problem is that the motor that makes the flames move died after about two months and acehardwareoutlet only takes returns for 30 days after purchase. Anyway, Dimplex/Electralog is sending a new motor for free since they don't take returns at all and perhaps I'll have better luck this time. So if you're not comfortable with the idea of installing your own replacement parts you might want to find another option.

UPDATE:

Alright, the motor came in about 2 weeks and was a 15 rpm motor as opposed to the 10 rpm motor that was originally installed so the flame effect is a bit faster now but still fairly realistic. It took maybe an hour to install and isn't something I'd want to do every two months so I'm hoping that this one lasts a bit longer. I'll keep my review updated as conditions warrant but for now I'm happy to report that my 4416 is back in 100% working order and pumping out the BTU's.

Honest reviews on Dimplex CS4416 Compact Electric Stove

We bought this stove for our condo Christmas 2007. It gives a realistic (close enuf) flame and plenty of heat. We enjoy it very much. However, it doesn't last more than a few years. By Christmas 2010, the plastic translucent backing behind the fire image had rotted and fallen away exposing the light bulb and other 'innards' that nullified the cozy fire effect. Electralog told us we would have to get a new stove because it was 'non-repairable' as far as they were concerned. You can fix it yourself tho if you disassemble the back of the stove unit, find a similar plastic at a hardware store, and re-adhere it to the unit. That's what we ended up doing and it works fine now but you shouldn't be having these kind of problems with a product that's only 3 years old.

I got this electric stove last year because it was on sale and I needed a new space heater. This is the first electric heater I've ever had with the dancing flames feature. I totally love it. This heater makes a great substitute for a Franklin stove (and you don't have to buy, store or haul any wood or worry about leaving the embers of a live fire unattended). It's really nice to be able to have instant heat with the flip of a button and a turn of the temperature setting dial OR if you are just in the mood for the dancing flames of a fire on a summer evening, you can have that too without the heater being on! I love my stove and I'm really glad I got it. It's a constant source of comfort and joy.

This is a great little heater if you don't need to heat huge spaces. At 10K BTU it is powerful enough to heat my 640 sq ft basement to 75 degrees even with a crack in the window and outside tempreture of 30 degrees. If you use a good quality Kerosene such as Crown 1-K or a reputable K-1 Clear suitable for use in unvented Kerosene heaters, you get virtually no odor from this heater. Adjust the flame correctly and it is a sweet burner for sure. I may use this one regularly to knock the chill off on those extra cold nights. I would recommend this heater.

I have owned my Sengoku Heat Mate for two winters now. Because I am an emergency preparedness buff, I studied up on the topic of kerosene heaters for sometime. What I like about kerosene heating is kerosene is a very safe fuel to store. It is a lubricant and is not volatile like gasoline or propane. I also like the fact that if the electricity goes out, I can have this back-up heating source (and lighting and cooking!) using kerosene. I am extremely happy with this heater. This heater, unlike other radiant heaters, has a very long catalytic converter. This results in a cleaner burn and a greater heat output. The most important thing you should know before buying this heater is that you need to buy a good wick for it. The factory-included wick is junk. You will have a lot of odors and not a good, clean burn after a couple of uses. I suggest you order a good quality wick from Miles Stair's Wick Shop (Google it). For about 6 bucks you will have a high quality wick instead of the cheap, thin one that is included wiht this unit. You will have a better, cleaner burn, no odor and good heat output. The wick is long lasting, too. The manual that comes with this heater will show you how to replace the wick. It's a little involved, so if you are not handy, you should get someone to help you. Please don't let this disuade you from buying this heater. This heater is really good and it's worth this minor inconvenience. You will have to change the wicks anyway sooner or later so why not learn from the get-go, right? Once you have your wick and ready to go, you remove the fuel tank/canister and fill it up. It holds about a gallone of kero. You insert the canister back in and must wait an hour (only with a new wick or dry wick) and then light her up. The auto ignition makes a high pitch beep as it lights and it usually lights right up within one to two seconds. Now, you must know that all kerosene heaters do produce some odors on light up and shut down. This is normal. It's the nature of the beast. Because I have high celings in my living area, we don't mind too much. However, if you are lighting up your kerosene heater in a small room with low ceilings, you may want to light it in a garage or outside on the porch and then bring it back in once it's burning completely. This is part of kerosene heaters. I don't mind the kerosene smell but some people do and are sensitive to it. You can expect a tank to run anywhere from 10-12 hours depending on how cold it is, how you have the flame set and how many times you shut her down and start her back up. Like I said, I have a large living area with high, vaulted celings. Large kitchen and three bedrooms on the main floor. If it's 45 degrees outside, I can keep my whole upper level warm (about 73 degrees and obviously a little cooler in the bedrooms) with this heater running. For only a 10600 BTU ouput, that's pretty good. My wife, who is cold blooded by nature, loves this heater. So much for emergency use! We find ourself using it all of the time for some extra heating. The kids love it too and even my 5 year old knows how to start her up and turn her off. As with every kerosene heater, after so many hours of use you beging to get a carbon build-up on the wick. Too much carbon can make light-up difficult, longer start up time, and can produce more odors and less efficient burning. To avoid this problem, you must remove that carbon build-up from the wick. And it's very easy to do. You need to do what is called a "dry burn". A dry burn simply means that you allow the wick to burn until there is no more kerosene in the tank. With this unit, you can do it fast with little kerosene waste if you do it right. When you begin to see that it's getting harder to light and takes longer to burn bright and you get more odors, it is time to do the dry burn. Burn your unit as normal, and when you are tank is almost on empty, take your unit outside or into the garage. Remove the catalytic converter, raise the wick and light it. It will burn smokey with the catalytic converter removed but that's okay. Burn it until it goes out. When it goes out, come back and light it again. It will burn for a few more minutes then go out again. Repeat this process a few times and you will see that your wick, although black, is free from carbon deposits. Let cool, wipe down the inside with a damp cloth to clean off any soot, refuel and you're ready to go. I can usually do this in about 30 minutes or less. The secret is knowing that you have just a bit of fuel left in the thank. This way, you waste very little kero doing your dry burn. After your dry burn is complete, you will watch in amazement as your heater (don't forget to let the kero re-soak into the wick for an hour) lights right up in just a second and burns nice, hot and clean. This unit puts out a lot of heat for being such a small guy. Take care of it and it will take good care of you. I also recommend you apply a coat of car wax to the exterior before using. This will help protect the finish and keep your unit protected and looking good for many years. Highly recommend this heater...just not the wick that comes with it!

This is a solid little kero heater. It doesn't have the traditional twist -type knob for on/off and wick adjustment. Instead, it has a adjustable lever that slides up and down. Next to the lever is a push-type button to extinguish the heater, which sends the lever up to the off position.To start the heater, you simply push the lever all the way down to the bottom position and hold it there briefly. This engages the battery-operated ignition and lights the wick quickly. Interestingly, the heater has a audible chiming sound that is heard when the unit is ignited. After the unit lights ( in about 1-2 seconds) the lever can be released. This causes the lever to sit in the wick adjustable range on the lever slide.I have not had to adjust the wick once since purchasing this unit about 1 month ago.The fuel tank is of the type that is removed,filled and placed back in the heater from a hinged cover on the top of the unit.I was a little confused about the fuel level meter at first but have come to realize that the fuel level meter only shows the fuel level for about the last 25% of kerosene left. Before that it simply remains a solid bar ("full")until the last 25% of fuel is reached in the unit. It is at this point that the meter level begins to decrease.

I am impressed with the efficiency of this heater and it seems to be a well constructed appliance.

The only aspect of this heater that I dislike is the audible chime that sounds when you ignite it. It's not extremely loud (like a smoke detector) but,none the less, could wake up someone in a nearby room if the unit is started while they are sleeping. It only chimes for as long as the wick is held in the "ignite" position, which is very brief.

All in all, a great, fuel efficient little unit. I purchased mine from Ace hardware. If you choose to pick it up at a local Ace store shipping is free. I found a coupon online for $10 off any purchase from Ace of $100 or more and paid about $110 for the heater. Ace shipped it to my nearby store (it was not in stock at the store and was purchased from their online site) in two days.

Update: After owning this for about 2 months, I must say I am pleased with it. No problems,just a few things I had to adjust to that's all. I find the chiming sound that is present when the igniter is used is not as loud as I at first thought. It hasn't been a problem for anyone sleeping in adjacent rooms. The unit is easily portable and weighs about 25lbs when full of fuel. You can pick it up and move up when it is lit (carefully) without the unit shutting off. It has been used in very cold conditions ( 4* yesterday) and still manages to heat the lower two levels of our 1500 square foot tri-level home. At the extreme lows it does struggle to provide adequate heat though. It has proven to be very fuel efficient.

Update #2 After using this heater for two solid winters, it has proven to be a winner. No problems with the wick, igniter, or other parts of the unit. The only issue is the glass globe has become hazy.I have tried to clean it using all manner of cleaners and abrasives to no avail. I plan on replacing the globe this Fall.

Honest reviews on Heat Mate HMN-110 Radiant Kerosene Heater 10000 BTU 380 Sq. Ft.

Based on all of the research I put into buying a kerosene heater, this one seemed to fit the bill. The most important consideration was minimal fumes. After reading the reviews and other internet info, I expected better performance. Following all instructions for set up in the manual, I had trouble with both lighting the heater and an unacceptable amount of fumes. Thinking that I had performed the dry burn wrong, I repeated it. It seemed that the problem was resolved. Fast ignition and clean almost fumeless burn. I was loving this heater. Fumes and difficult ignition returned after third use. Performed dry burn again. Heater worked well again for 2 to 3 uses. Repeated dry burn process with same results. Considering I have used only 5 gallons of kerosene, this is way too much effort. Doing the dry burn is a time consuming and cold process as it must be done outdoors. I contacted the manufacturer's customer service and it was suggested I do another dry burn or return the burner to Ace Hardware. I was not impressed with this advice since I have performed so many dry burns already and am not sure that Ace will allow a return after 2 months. (I will have to check this out.) What I really want is a clean burning heater that does not require constant maintenance. I don't know if I got a dud or what. The heater operation is quite simple. It doesn't seem like that much could go wrong. I don't know what to do at this point.

Thid review is a follow-up to all of my previous comments. Based at advice I have received from Adam and Miles Stairs' website, I have changed the wick and repeated the dry burn. (See additions to my initial review.) I am sick of this heater. Having done everything to make it work without fumes, I give up. The initial use after a dry burn is excellent. The fumes return after that and I have to do another dry burn. I am sick of doing dry burns. To compound my problems, the electric ignition is no longer working. Customer service is polite but worthless and so is this heater. I am glad that others are having good luck but for me all of this nursing along is just way too much especially since it does not improve the long term use of the heater. I would never recommend this heater. If zero stars were an option, that is what I would give it.

I'm on my second season with this little heater. At the end of the 2009 winter we threw out the other kerosene heater because this one was so clean burning. Almost no fumes. The glass chimney (catalytic converter) is tall and this means extra-clean burning. Very Fuel efficient providing ~10 +/hours on it's small 1 gallon tank. It's large enough for us to take the edge off the cold in our house living space. If we loose electricity this is also the back up heat for our house. A review on another web site noted quality Japanese parts, good design and clean operation. I purchased the heater directly on-line from Ace and picked it up at a local store.

Another reviewer noted the loud sound the heater makes with the ignition button is pushed. This is not a buzzer but the sound from the pizo electric ignition system. This starter is suppose to be more reliable than the glow type.

Reddy Heater 50,000 BTU Propane Forced-Air Heater #RLP50V Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I poked around on the manufacturers web site before buying this heater to heat my garage but the site was a little misleading in that they don't tell you that this shouldn't be used for an application like I wanted. It touted the heater as being odorless which it definitely wasn't! I don't have natural gas in my neighborhood so that was out, I didn't want one of the 100lb tanks that the other "vent free" models need so I'm going to try to get rid of this one as I've just replaced it with one of the 240v electric heaters that hang from the ceiling.

I'll give it three stars as I'm sure it will work well in an open construction environment which might rate a 5 but for my application it definitely gets a 1.

Sunheat makes the highest quality heaters on the market. The 750 watt is smaller and has no wheels. I love that the on/off switch as located at the front near the top of the unit. High quality, made in the USA wood case. More expensive then most heaters, but worth it long term.

Since we don't usually need a full pot of coffee except on weekends -I typically just grab a Starbucks "Via" instant coffee on the way to work in the morning (a pretty remarkable innovation, by the way) -I was attracted to the hot water dispenser on this coffee maker. I like it particularly because of its 58-ounce capacity -meaning that you don't have to keep refilling it if you're just using it once each morning to fill a car mug. My wife prefers tea to coffee, and she loves being able to get a cup of really hot water whenever she likes. (We fill it with spring water, and the results are superb.) I haven't had any problem with the "add water" light, as another reviewer apparently did. I was concerned about squandering energy by keeping a reservoir of water constantly hot, but it doesn't. It keeps only about 13 ounces of water at serving temperature; the rest of the reservoir is unheated. It doesn't take all that much energy to keep 13 ounces of water hot. And if you know you won't be wanting hot water for a while, you can just turn it off with the on/off button. I had expected it to heat water instantly through some kind of coil system -much like an under-sink unit does -but not so. As a result, if the unit hasn't been on, there's about a 3-minute wait for the water to reach the right temperature. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I wish the hot water dispenser were programmable in the way the coffee maker is, but it isn't. You have to start it manually. (No you can't use an outlet timer because the unit has an electronic on/off switch.) I also wish the hot water dispenser had a temperature adjustment (the coffee maker does); the water it dispenses is so hot that I have to wait for several minutes before I can drink any beverage I make with it. Finally, some Cuisinart coffee makers have a strength adjustment but this doesn't. But these are minor quibbles; it's still a great appliance. The coffee maker itself works as well as an automatic drip coffee maker can -always a function of trial-and-error at the beginning (what kind and how much coffee you use). It uses a cone filter (#4) -which in my humble opinion always delivers better coffee than the flat filters used in so many other coffee makers -including a lot of Cuisinart models -and the water is sprayed onto the coffee by a showerhead array in the reservoir lid. (Tip for review "Me2": Pour water into the coffee maker by putting the lip of the carafe on the rear LEFT corner and pour it in that way. It's a lot easier and you won't spill any.)

I looked at a LOT of different coffee makers before deciding on this model. Buying a coffee maker has to be one of the hardest things to buy. The problems come in because everyone has a different take on what coffee is supposed to taste like and unfortunately many of them are dead wrong. The most important thing for anyone that really enjoys coffee the way it is supposed to be made is that the water heats up to a sufficient temperature (greater than 190 degrees). This allows for the best flavor to be extracted from the coffee ground without that bitter taste that you get when the temperature is too low. Since most people don't know that you don't find that information in most reviews. I found that information in the good reviews for this product and it had an overall rating of 4.5 at the time that I purchased it but I was a bit concerned with some of the bad reviews. They pointed to things like the carafe leaking, the hot water dispenser side leaking or not functioning correctly, bad tasting water, etc. Well, I'm happy to report that I have not seen any of these problems.

Pros

1) Hot water dispenser heats water to 185 degrees. This is perfect for anything you might want to use it for.

2) The coffee maker side heats the water to about 200 degrees. This is GREAT for making a really good cup of coffee.

3) The coffee temperature allows the coffee too stay warm even after I add half & half.

4) The lid on the carafe is NOT hinged which means that it doesn't flop around when you're pouring and it doesn't have a flimsy hinge to break.

5) The hot water dispenser side is HUGE, much larger than it looks in the pictures. That is why I've uploaded some pictures with mugs sitting on it and my tape measure showing the actual size. It fits both very wide and very tall mugs.

6) The auto-off setting is adjustable from 1-4 hours. This is great for my mom who likes to brew a pot and drink it all morning.

7) The indicator lights on the hot water side that let you know when the water is ready and when you need to add water are great.

8) Indicator light lets you know when it is time to clean the unit.

Cons

1) I'm not really sure how much safer the safety lock is on the hot water side. Anyone that can reach the lever can EASILY slide that safety lock to the left.

2) This is a small nitpick but pointing out small things like this show how much I really like this coffee maker. In order to set the clock you switch the switch to Clock and then hold down the HR button until the time starts blinking. What else am I going to do while I have the switch set to Clock? Why do I have to hold down that button too? The only reason this actually bugs me is because if you hold it down a split second too long it will begin to change the hour. So if you only wanted to change the minute it can be annoying.

3) This is only a con at first. The first time you pour water into the coffee side the angle of where you have to pour it makes you feel like you're going to spill it. Not to worry though. The design of the carafe and the fact that the flipped up lid will catch the water if you go to far make it really easy. Just don't hesitate and you'll find that it is as easy as pie to pour the water in.

Finally, this thing makes a GREAT TASTING cup of coffee. I can't believe I finally have a drip coffee maker that I enjoy using. Prior to this any time I wanted a good cup of coffee I would break out my French Press.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. I'll be glad to check it out and get back to you.

Best Deals for Cuisinart CHW-12 Coffee Plus 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker

This machine was to make both the coffee hound and the tea lover in our family happy in the morning. Only one of us is happy.. No complaints at all with the coffee maker..

The hot water dispenser has a strong bad taste that I cant get rid of with repeated vinegar or the 1 cup of lemon juice suggested by the customer service representative.. She had heard my story many times before..

The taste is similar to drinking out of a garden hose. The customer rep assured me that the insides are stainless steel and not plastic. I think there may be some quality control issues...

Even if I could get the bad taste out, the dispenser will only release 16 oz of water for the 32 oz you must put into it. This leaves 16 oz to sit until the next day to be reheated when you add 16 oz of new water.

You must always put in 32 oz to get out 16 oz. If you put in any amount less than 32 oz, the "add water" light will come on after only 6 oz drawn out..The machine will not let you take more than this out--even thought there is plenty more inside of it.

Consequently the new water put in always mixes with the old water that is both stale and bad tasting. Who wants day old water that has the taste diminished further by reheating?

I see this as a big design flaw that requires you to take the entire machine to the sink, pull the very ergonomically incorrect and difficult plug out of the bottom and manually drain it... The manual tells you to do this if the water has been in the dispenser a week or more...

There always will be water in the dispenser a week or more.. yuck..

I say back to the drawing board with this item..

Not what I expected from Cuisinart...

Honest reviews on Cuisinart CHW-12 Coffee Plus 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker

My last old Cuisinart bit the dust so I was in the market for a new one. I had also been in the market for a water kettle but really did not like the idea of having one more appliance on my counter top. When I checked out the Cuisinart web site to see what was new I was blown away by the idea of this coffee maker that also dispensed hot water!! I was so excited about it I had it sent overnight.

I have only had it for a day but oh what a wonderful cup of coffee I had this morning and right now I am loving the convenience of having hot water available for my tea drinking!

Pros: Everything!! In perfect working order and I was able to follow the manufacture's instructions on hot water without any problems at all! Best cup of coffee I have had even counting my old Cuisinart!

Cons: Only 1 negative so far. It is awkward pouring water into the coffee maker side and I guess I will need more practice at this to keep from splashing water all over everything.

So far extremely pleased with my purchase!!

This is really a great unit. Coffee brews perfectly. As far as the water dispenser, mine works fine. It notices water levels etc. The only thing is that the water will start to smell bad (metallic) if it is left in the resevoir too long. I would say follow the instructions. It says to empty the water resevoir fully if you do not plan to run the water function for more than a week, or to store the unit. There is a drain plug on the bottom of the unit (who knew)... I drained it and refilled it, flushed a couple of times and the water is much better. No more metallic taste/smell... OK, Just an FYI...

Not durable: I bought this product only one week ago and used it three times, now it is broken already.

As to the not efficient part, I really don't have much experience with it, because I was only able to use it three times before it broke.

Here is my exprience:

1. A few pairs of socks and one short gown(after spinning): took one hour to achieve damp dried.

2. Two pairs of jeans(after spinning): after one hour, the top parts were completely dry, but the low parts were still damp. Not too bad. But the timer of the dryer broken during this time. I decided to put up with the broken timer, but then,

3. A short thin jacket(after spining): only after 5 minutes, the dryer stopped working completely.

This product is not refundable once you use it, and to exchange you have to pay for shipping fee and it is not worth the money and trouble to exchnage for another one, which may also break soon. So the best option would be DO NOT BUY IT in the first place.

I purchased the product because, I was desperate, and really needed something, that could be put away, because of the small apartment I have. I wasn't expecting much, and at first didn't want to use the over the door clothes dryer, but, boy was I surprised at the results of the drying, it even takes out wrinkles, and it dryed my clothes within a reasonable amount of time. I would recommend this product for anyone that has a limited amount of space. It's already paid for itself, I wouldn't trade this wonderful product for anything. Thank you, so very much.

Best Crock-Pot SCRTD305-BS 1-Quart Triple Dipper Food Warmer Deals

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program What a wonderful idea, for a food warmer. When I stumbled across this, I wondered why no one had thought of it before. Great for cocktail parties or family get togethers where you want to have multiple hot dishes or dips in an easy to use single appliance. Since each crock holds only one quart, it is rather limiting for dinner side dishes such as green beans, or soups, etc. But it is perfect for dips and hors d'ouerves such as nacho cheese dip, bbq meatballs, spinach dip, etc.

Features include a separate on/off "warming" heat control for each crock, which makes it handy for choosing to either heat a crock or to use it for something cold. When I used it, I pre-heated my dips in a microwave and used the triple dipper as a "holding tank" warmer. And there is no problem with cold crocks next to "warmed" crocks since the heating elements are isolated to the crock's insert surfaces.

Another very handy feature is that this has a built in lazy susan, allowing users to rotate it to the crock they want to dip out of. You can't even tell that there is a rotating base, by looking at the unit, since it is such a well integrated feature. Besides the handy see through glass lids with small handles on top, there is also a traveling plastic snap-on shield that allows you to transport it with contents pre-heated, without fear of spills, since the one piece shield snaps down over the glass lids to keep them in place. And when it is not being used to restrain the lids on each crock, it can be used as a three compartment serving bowl for chips and crackers to set next to the unit. And it is large enough to hold a respectable amount of chips/crackers. It would also be very functional for separating veggies for dipping (carrot sticks, celery, and brocolli).

The only questionable feature is the triangular cubby holes which fill in the spaces between each crock, around the perimeter. These cubby holes have removable inserts, making for easy to clean. However, I have not figured out what to use those for, other than possibly plastic forks or spoons. They are not all that functional for edibles due to the depth and shape of the inserts.

Another thing you need to realize is that this is a pretty large appliance and will have to be stored in a place where space is not at a premium and most likely not in a standard cupboard since it is about 19" wide. This can't be considered a negative necessarily, because, by it's very nature of being utilitarian for its intended use, this has to be the size that it is.

The first time I used this for a party, I had many comments and questions about where I found it. Ladies, especially, were saying "wow, how cool is that....I want one."

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program

It's a good little warmer. It would be nice if the warming pots were bigger.

The warmer also took a little longer than expected to actually warm the contents. We were melting chocolate for a fondue dip, and it took a while for it to melt the chocolate.

So just remember that it's a warmer not a cooker.

The cable storage is nice so you're not tripping over the cable and can use the warmer to serve with.

Best Deals for Crock-Pot SCRTD305-BS 1-Quart Triple Dipper Food Warmer

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Pros:

Quick to heat (1 hour from cold)

Convenient station for party

Nice sized crocks (1 bag of lil'smokies, etc)

Rotates in place

Cons:

Very large, won't fit in any standard cupboards

Too hot, in 2 hours water was up to 180F.

Bottom Line:

If you entertain small groups with hot dips and foods frequently, this might be worth while. However, I find it awkward to store, and despite warnings that you shouldn't cook your food in the crocks, it heats water near to boiling (too hot for most dips). It is definitely hot enough to cook your food, and it only has one setting "warm".

I would rather use a couple small crocks that will fit in cupboards, and if I leave the house with it, I would try to limit it to one crock anyway, so 3 is a little overkill.

Honest reviews on Crock-Pot SCRTD305-BS 1-Quart Triple Dipper Food Warmer

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Somehow the name Crock Pot is too rustic for this elegant ensemble that will do justice to your special dips, keeping your luscious concoctions warm and toasty. The unit is beautifully designed with three black crock pots each holding a quart, each pot with a clear lid. Another lid snaps over the unit which prevents the pots from bouncing around in the car, let alone projecting if you are taking your goodies elsewhere. (One time I was taking a platter of stuffed eggs to a party, had to slam on my brakes to avoid some jerk and the eggs ended up on the windshield). The top can double as a serving plate for crackers or raw veggies and the unit has three pockets which can each be filled with bread sticks, celery, whatever. A quick twist of the unit spins it around like a Lazy Susan. The Triple Dipper will satisfy a lot of hungry party goers while looking scrumptious and elegant.

Bear in mind that the Triple Dipper is for keeping dips warm, not for cooking as there is only one settingwarmfor each pot. Any uncooked meat must be cooked before putting it into a crock and any dip can be warmed in the microwave, right in the crock pot before putting in place on the Triple Dipper. We tested out the Dipper for this review by creating a very simple but delicious re-fried bean dip, warmed it in the microwave to melt the cheese then placed it back in the Dipper where it stayed warm until we gobbled it up.

1 can re-fried beans

3 tbs chili paste

1/2 cup cubed sharp cheddar cheese.

As a future experiment, we will try making a cheese fondue in a fondue pot, then transfer it to a crock in the Dipper to see if it will keep warm enough to prevent the wine and cheese from separating. We will append that experience here.

The beauty of the Triple Dipper is that everything is organized and together so you can tote it to a party, plug it back in and let `er rip. The Dipper is BIGthree quart crock pots will hold an awful lot of dip and you will give the guests a super grazing area with all the necessities close at hand. You could, of course, put an entree in one pot, vegetables in the second one, and say a chocolate fondue in the third for a complete dinner. Remember, though, the Dipper is a warmer, not a cooker and is not a substitute for a conventional Crock Pot.

The Dipper won't fit in ordinary cabinets and is rather heavy to carry. So the bigness and heaviness of the Dipper need to be considered.

I generally make two dips at minimum when I am bringing dips to a party & I am always faced with carrying two different crockpots. I recently threw a friend a shower and knew I wouldn't have my husbands assistance for carrying items so I wanted a more convienant way to carry my food. I purchased this and LOVE IT! I made the same amount of dips I normally do and they fit perfectly, plus although it was heavy it was alot easier than making multiple trips. The whole unit rotates which is nice if it is on a big table for a party and the cord retracts back into the base which is super convienant. I love this product and am 110% satisfied. I used the three little cup spaces to store the serving spoons for dipping but I am sure you could find alot of uses!

The manufacturer proudly states that this heater will run on diesel fuel as well as on kersosene. However, in using #2 diesel fuel the heater belched out enough flames and fumes to simulate tear gas. According to the red tag attached to the heater, fuel changes may require "air pressure adjustments" to the heater. The reader is referred to the operating manual. Fair enough -So I read the section on "adjusting pump pressure" on page E-4.

The manual, however, talks about the "fuel pressure adjustment screw." To add to the confusion, the manual identifies ref. #29 on the exploded view parts diagram as the fuel adjustment screw. However, it is not even close. When I finally found the adjustment screw, it was somewhere else and it was labeled "output filter."

Until the trial and error process was completed, this unit spewed out enough crap to cause the CO2 detector in an open garage to go off repeatedly. (Hey, Consumer Products Safety Commission, are you listening?) Not only that, but it would only run for 2 to 3 minutes at a time before overheating and shutting down. There was another nearby adjustment screw which is not even mentioned in the manual; I can only guess that it also has something to do with the fuel mixture and/or pressure.

After several frustrating hours of tinkering, I finally got the damn thing dialed in and working. The user's manual was of little to no help. They talk about components which are not found on this model, and use a parts diagram which is not altogether consistent with this model. In order for this type of heater to work right, it is imperative that the air nozzle settings be adjusted correctly. Maybe, just maybe, it would be helpful to include clear and concise directions and diagrams for that purpose.

The folks at Mr. Heater, Inc. in Cleveland, Ohio need to take a closer look at what's going on at their manufacturing facility at the Kung Pao Chicken Factory and Machine Shop in China.
