Cheap Stonegate® Black Storage Mantle Electric Fireplace

Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

Looks great, got a bunch of compliments on this. The cabinets on the side are perfect. Like it that the light will run when the heat isnt running. it also needs to be plugged into a grounded outlet. Make sure you have one. Also really easy to put together and is not made cheap. Great product for a great price.

Do not purchase this item if you are looking for an electric fireplace that looks real. The firebox is very small. Their is only one log and the fake flames look like the side of the box is red. Below the log when light is on looks like a red rectangle. The painting done to make it look like coals does not even show. It is just a red rectangle. The fire has no realistic look at all. Looks more like a mobile light in a childs room. Very disappointed with this purchase. I would return it but I can't afford to and am stuck with this. Not even going to put in a room because it is such an eyesore. When I put my 42 inch tv on top it made the the whole entertainment center look tiny. Made the fire looks like a joke. My tv did not even fit on top and the tv stand hangs over the edge of the mantel by over 3 inches. Thought I was getting a good deal. Instead have a really thin, cheap looking eyesore. Buyers beware.

First I'd like to say it came by mail very quickly, less than a week (2 separate shipments) even though I chose the standard shipping. The box was a little torn up but nothing inside was damaged. I found it to be a bit of a pain to put together by myself, but it turned out to be quite worth the effort. I too left off the doors and like the look better without them, but to each their own. If you want a small decorative item to serve as a space warmer then I think its worth the money.

Honest reviews on Stonegate® Black Storage Mantle Electric Fireplace

The fireplace is a bit smaller than you would expect. I beefed up this entertainment center with 2 DVD holders I bought at Walmart for less than $20 each to make the Center look larger. Don't expect your DVD player and stereo system to fit in this. The fireplace is great, but small. I love the way it looks, and the heat is great. The doors aren't predrilled on the entertainment center, so you'd have to spend a lot of time figuring out where to place the doors so they are level, so we just left them off. Overall, a decent little buy, but wish we would have gone with a larger center.

The principal of a towel warmer is great..a toasty towel waiting for you when you step out of the shower. Unfortunately this really is only for assistance in drying the towel after you are finished. It does a fine job of that but it's not hot enough to really get the towel warm otherwise.

I strongly caution anyone against purchasing a Haier product. Haier has far and away the worst customer service I have ever encountered. I purchased a Haier Portable Air Conditioner in July 2011. The unit was "dead on arrival," completely nonfunctional. When I called Haier customer support, I was instructed to make a service appointment.

Nearly four months later, after four separate visits from the servicer to my home, the unit remained as nonfunctional as when it first arrived. During this time, I spent countless hours on the phone with at least half a dozen Haier representatives, none of whom was even remotely helpful. Interacting with Haier's customer support was truly excruciating; I would rather jab a needle repeatedly into my eye than endure it again. Most agents were both incompetent and unsympathetic. In numerous instances, I was denied access to a supervisor, told instead I would have to wait for a call back, but never received one. On the rare occasion I was privileged to speak to a "supervisor," I quickly discovered that the person to whom I spoke had no authority or capacity to resolve my situation in any kind of satisfactory (much less expedient) manner. For all their ineptitude, the members of the Haier team have attained expert status when it comes to "passing the buck."

Following the second service visit, in September, I requested a refund, which Haier's corporate office rejected, without ever bothering to inquire about the circumstances which led me to make such a request in the first place, and without ever informing me of this decision, despite a stated policy of notification within 24 to 48 hours.

At the fourth service visit, in November, the repairman told me he intended to reorder parts which had already been replaced on a previous visit, as well as a power cord he knew was not actually broken. He was appropriately apologetic, but said that was the best he could offer me under Haier's warranty. He confided that these units are notoriously unreliable, and that he would advise against buying one.

Finally, after repeated calls (bordering, out of necessity, on badgering), I succeeded in submitting a formal complaint as well as a second refund request to a customer specialist from Haier's corporate office. Though this individual professed a strong desire to assist me, I remained skeptical of Haier's commitment to resolving the situation to my satisfaction, given that she immediately questioned whether a refund would be feasible, again citing the "terms of the warranty." Sure enough, a week later, I learned that my refund request had been denied again (though, on this go round, Haier was at least kind enough to inform me.) After a brief exchange with the Haier messenger revealed she had no knowledge of my specific case, I relented to a superior adversary and accepted Haier's ever-so-generous concession to process an exchange (provided, naturally, I could jump through a few more hoops and complete a shipping assignment at my own expense.) I look forward to receiving another broken product, which will sit in a state of partial disassembly on my living room floor for four more months while I patiently receive another parade of repairmen with six hour appointment windows.

Haier offers a captivating combination of shoddy craftsmanship and shameful customer service. It is my sincere hope that potential Haier customers will learn from my experience and avoid doing business with this company.

When I noticed this unit had only one star I figured I had to do something. I have owned several portable AC units and this one is by far the best. Before purchasing I read several reviews that were on the Costco site and the consensus was pretty much 50/50 so I was at first a little unsure. Believe me when I tell you that the dual hose design is far superior. I will never buy a single hose unit again after owning this one. My only complaint is that the drain plug is a real hassle to remove if you want to drain the water. I may try a little soap on that. Haier makes several models that look like this one but don't be fooled. This is the model you want. I wonder if the other reviewer was mistaking this for another model that looked the same or maybe New York weather is far worse. In any case this unit couldn't work better in the Pacific Northwest.

Best Deals for Haier CPN14XC9 14K Portable Air Conditioner

If you read up on the differences between a single hose design vs a dual hose design there are several advantages to a dual hose vs a single hose. In a single hose design your indoor air is pulled through the system to cool the compressor and vented out the exhaust hose. This creates a negative pressure in your house and pulls more hot air inside your home which then has to be cooled... this makes a fairly significant difference in how effective these portable A/C units are.

With a dual hose design there is an intake hose pulling outside air through the unit to cool the compressor and then exhausted back out which does not create the negative pressure in your home...

Here is where this Haier unit is a big fat lie. The intake hose is almost cosmetic. It does in fact pull some air through this hose but there is a very large venting grate on the side of the unit that is exposed to the air in your room thus pulling air through this vent and only a portion through the intake hose which effectively defeats the entire purpose of a dual hose. If you have the intake hose hooked up and the unit is not running hot air just pours into the hose and heats up your room.

Point is... if you're looking for a dual hose you'll have to modify this one to actually make it work as one (probably going to void any warranty), if you want a single hose you might just want to get a smaller unit than this "dual" hose.

7/23, update.

The unit really does work pretty well (again, noting is really is a single hose design unless you choose to block off the air intake grate I've mentioned) The unit is fairly loud (it's an A/C...not surprised) and the display is a very bright blue which can be irritating at night. The unit does build up water in the collection tank but I only need to empty it maybe once every 2 weeks and I only run the unit about 4 hours most night... (I live in Utah so the humidity levels are fairly low) I bought the unit refurbished and for the price I paid I'm pretty happy so far. Changing my review from 2 stars to 3...

Honest reviews on Haier CPN14XC9 14K Portable Air Conditioner

I have owned this same unit for almost 3 years now. I bought it from Costco for around $325 then, and we have used it non-stop for two summers. it keeps our downstairs (around 1,100 square feet) FRIGID. All of these negative comments make me think i must have got a winner out of a big batch of losers, or all of these people expect a "central-air experience" from a $300 portable unit.

It beats the hell out of any window unit i've owned in the past

It is a bit heavy and awkward to carry, but luckily that only needs to happen twice a year; once to put it in the house, and once again to put it back in the garage. Also, it has wheels! We roll ours around even with it attached to the window since the hoses flex.

I love this A/C unit, and recommend it all the time. If you're hot, get one

I had this unit for a few months and used it three times. It works ok but does not cool the amount of space that is referenced in the paperwork. The fourth time it was running and suddenly stopped. The circuit breaker in the power cord popped and couldn't be reset. I tried to order a new power cord but it's been on backorder for 6 months now. Needless to say now the warranty is up so I have to buy the cord which is about 65-70 bucks. The part is nowhere to be found so the unit is useless. The company is no help, the part was supposed to be available months ago but is still not available. Don't buy this or you'll be stuck with a useless large plastic cabinet that does nothing.

Purchased January 5th, died January 28th. The touch panel illuminates and shows the correct temps, but neither the heat nor the fan turns on. No funny burning smell either. We use it in our 2 yr old's bedroom at night, so about 12 hrs each night for 3 weeks to keep the temp at 73. It hasn't been very cold here, around 60-65 in his small 9'x9' room without the heat on at night. Also, the unit is made in China.

I called Vornado and they're doing the repair for free, shipping included. Hopefully the repaired or replacement heater will be more reliable.

update: After 2 months or so of using the replacement unit, everything is working properly. I would rate customer service 5 stars since they are very friendly, helpful, and in the US.

update 2: the replacement one is broken now less than 1 year later. Heat fires up fine, but no fan. Off to get another replacement from Vornado. Again, customer service is VERY GOOD, 5 stars again. If only their flagship heater could last more than one "winter" here in California, which isn't that cold at all.

This heater is extremely accurate in maintaing the set temp. I have tested it several times against a digital thermometer with memory. With each test, the heater has maintained the set temp. to within .5 degrees, plus or minus of the set temp. These tests have been conducted on 8 hr. time frames.

The remote is very easy to use & is an impt. upgrade, because it allows you to place the sensing device @ any location in the room away from the heater. This gives a much more accurate temp. throughout the room.

The air circulation ability of the vornado heaters is pretty amazing. it really circulates the air throughout the room as advertised. It works slow but effectively.

The heater has been used for probably 48 hrs. of run time. Hopefully, it is durable enough to maintain its current performance over many yrs.

I have two of the vornado VH2 heaters which both failed during the 1st winter of moderate use. I purchased the EH1 heater only after learning that Vornado will pay shipping to return the two VH2 heaters to the factory for free warranty repair & will ship back to me @ no cost. The EH1 also has the free return policy but has a 2 yr. instead of the 1 yr. warranty found on the VH2. Warranty info. that came with the VH2 & EH1 all state that the customer has to pay to ship the product back to the factory and then include $20 for them to ship it back to you. this is basically a worthless warranty and in my call to Vornado, they said that they now pay shipping both ways on all of their heaters.

Best Deals for Vornado TVH600 Whole Room Vortex Heater, Automatic Climate Control

This heater promises a lot, and is certainly on the pricey side for an electric heater. The remote is non-intuitive, and seems to require several button presses to get the heater to respond. The remote's display shows you the current temperature, but not the temperature that you've set the thermostat to -you have to look on the heater itself to see that. It's also easy to change the heat setting (low, high, fan-only) without realizing it, unless you're looking at the heater's display while you're using the remote. All that said, the heater is quiet, and does a good job of heating the room. The auto-off after a set number of hours is a nice feature.

But here was the real problem for me -the heater failed after one week of use. We stepped out of the room for a few minutes, at a time when the heater was not heating, but was still turned on, and came back to a slight electrical odor in the air. The heater was now off, and pressing the "on" button did nothing. I verified that it was the unit and not a circuit breaker in my house. Fortunately, I can return this item to where I bought it within 30 days for any reason. While I have the option of getting a replacement, I don't think it's worth the risk. The manufacturer has a 2-year warranty, but warranty service requires mailing the unit cross-country at my expense, PLUS a $20 shipping and handling fee to get the unit returned to me. I don't want to get another and have it fail 31 days after I get it, so this one is going back. Too bad, because I really like the concept! But poor implementation and apparently poor reliability (sample of one) kills it for me. Not recommended.

Honest reviews on Vornado TVH600 Whole Room Vortex Heater, Automatic Climate Control

Received my order and plugged it in and it heated the room I had it in within a couple minutes. Works as good as advertised if not better with even heat distribution. Now use it to heat our entire downstairs (living room, kitchen, and dining room) during the day, and the furnace very rarely kicks on. When it does it's for less than half the time it would without the Vornado. The real test will be when we receive our first electric bill with this little powerhouse.

We have had our TVH600 replaced 3 times. The first one lasted about 10 months before the automatic turn-off began to just shut the unit off all the time and eventually it stopped working all together. The second unit, we had for about a week and never worked properly! It tripped off constantly and smelled like it was burning, plus the cord would get really really HOT. The third unit worked for 1 day before the thermostat was reading 68 degrees and it was set to 72 degrees and blowing cold air. The company has been absolutely wonderful about replacing the units, but this particular model is garbage, plain and simple. Vornado is going to send me another model, this time, so hopefully this one works.

I am disapointed that there are not more reviews on this product! We have a second home in the mountains with a bar/gameroom downstairs which has central heat, but still maintains a chilly 50degrees in the winter(outside temps in the teens). We wanted a small space heater to push the temp to around 60degrees. The room has a fireplace, but we don't want to burn a cord of wood every winter just to use the space for a few drinks or a movie. We bought a small Honeywell heater which didn't put out enough heat. We exchanged it for a bigger Pure Comfort box but it died the first night and the local hardware store didn't have a replacement... so.. we got back to the flatlands and purchased a Vornado. I plugged it in and I tried to warm our large(12ft ceiling-250sqft) living room just to see how it would perform, but after 40minutes it didn't seem to do much. I then moved it to our family room which is about 200sqft w/8ft ceilings, but is not an enclosed room(open to kitchen and hallway). I feel the heat blowing from the unit but I don't feel the overall space getting warmer... so.. i guess the jury is still out. I plan on taking it up to our mountain home next weekend to heat the 150sqft gameroom, but I am skeptical. Having the unit next to you in quite comfortable but it doesn't seem to warm the entire room. Probably this is not a good test.. my expectations might be too high. In an enclosed room it might be alright. Right now it seems like a good under-the-desk unit for your office... but.. update coming...

We purchased this heater after our other, much older one, burned out. This heater is relatively small and runs pretty quietly, which is nice. But that isn't enough to compensate for the absurdly poor amount of heat that it puts out. We didn't expect much from a small room heater, but out of all of the room heaters that we have ever used this is by far the weakest one. It is also disappointing that this heater has very few settings and doesn't oscillate. If you want a little heater to warm your toes during spring while you're also running a stronger heater then by all means, get this one. If you're looking for an actual heater that has the ability to heat an entire room by more than 4 degrees than this is certainly not for you.

Best Deals for Vornado TH1 Whole Room Tower Heater

The Owner's Guide uses page 2 exclusively to inform reader that Vornado products are "Designed, engineered and supported in Andover, Kansas.

My first Vornado purchase many years ago was the Vortex Heat Whole Room Portable Electric Space Heater. It was smooth, quiet, and best of all it offered a continuous running fan while the heat cycled off and on. This made for an uniterrupted pleasing sound to sleep or work by. It pleased me to think that these must be better machines because they were Made in America.

However, since then I have purchased 2 more such type units. Both, regretablly, not like the 1st. Both had a sporadic rattle of some sort that could be easily heard. I called customer service to voice my unhappiness, but there was not a sympathetic customer service rep on the other end. I still have these 2 units.

In November, 2012, I ordered the TH1 Tower Heater from Vornado for $99.99, with much anticipation that it surely would meet the preference for that continuous running fan feature and the quiet running feature they especially emphasized. Upon its first use, there was an obvious high-pitched whirring sound that was audible beyond the actual whir of the fan. As I wanted to utilize the unit for a pleasant "white" type sound as much for the heat feature, I was disappointed.

Maybe most people would never notice, but being sound sensitive it is an irritant to me.

I called customer service and was met with a listening, concerned, warm-hearted customer rep. He had me download and print off a UPS mailing label for its return. Furthermore, he stated he would go ahead and have another mailed back to me. This transaction was very good, very pleasing.

In a reasonable amount of time, the replacement arrived.

Upon its first use, the same whirring sound was still present. Ugh! I will keep it & use it, but will do so when needing "quietness" isn't an imperative.

In conclusion, the unit may be designed, engineered and supported in Kansas, but it definitely is Made In China.

Please do not buy this product. Infrared heaters are falsely advertised as saving you money. They do not. I have averaged for the past five years an average electric bill of $200 to $250, consistently throughout the year. Once I plugged in my infrared heater (from heatalot.com) my electric bill for one month shot up to $591. I contacted the company, and on my second attempt, they answered and would not give me a refund. They did not stand behind their product and basically dismissed me.

First I have to say the shipping on this was awesome! I do have Prime and expect good shipping from Amazon, but this arrived the next day after an afternoon order! Beyond my expectations.

The fan itself is very good. I gave it a 4 star rating because I had to do a lot of re-trying in order to get the battery connection to work. It comes disconnected to save battery life, which is good, but the first few times I connected it after charging, it didn't work. It seemed to charge OK, but it didn't work off the battery. So if you get this, don't give up on the battery connection right away.

The air flow is good and what you'd expect for a 6". I wanted it for my car to keep my dog cool so the air flow is good and won't be too much for her. I'm running it now at about 6' away from me and the breeze is effective.

I'll be trying it out in the car on a high heat day this weekend and will come back to update this review on how it worked.

Update on June 6, 2013. So it stopped running off the battery. I had to drop it down to one star and can't recommend it. It's really hard to find troubleshooting support on it too. It works fine plugged in so I'll continue to use it that way but now I need a new battery powered one.
