This fireplace insert is NOT an infrared quartz as the title on the item indicates! It is just a basic electric fireplace! Google the model number and you will see it is not infrared. Just got one delivered and now I have to return it since I wanted the infrared quartz'

Pinnacle Products International "Protemp" Tank-top LP Radiant Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Just used for the first time at our son's soccer game and was surprised how much heat this unit produces. We had several people come sit behind us to try and warm up (which it didn't do) but put out enough heat that within 15 minutes, we turned the unit to low and were able to take our coats off.

Based on the amount of propane used, we should be able to get close to the 30+ hours of operation claimed by the manufacturer. You do need to be directly in front of the heater in an outdoor environment. I would think it would also work indirectly for instance in a garage setting.

Impressed with the performance for the price. 4/5 stars.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This heater is quite small compared to my other area heaters. It measures roughly 12 x 12 x 10 so it's rather tiny. That's a good thing because it gives you a lot more flexibility on where you can use or store it. Its size might make you assume that it won't put out much heat but that would be an incorrect assumption. I have two other area heaters that work really well but they are about 2 to 3 times as large as this heater. Both of my other heaters are louder than this one as well. This heater is very quiet for the most part. The only annoying part is the sudden clicking noise when the thermostat turns it on automatically. It tends to scare my dogs a little bit but other than that it's no big deal. You can choose from either the black or white finish. I have the white finish and the outside is painted metal that is strong. It reminds me of the outside of a washer or dryer. It should be very durable and last a very long time. The blade guard is designed so little kids can't get their fingers far enough inside the fan to hurt themselves. The exterior of the fan is designed not to get too hot so kids won't get burnt on it. It's a heater so it's going to get warm but not hot enough to do any real damage. It has a heavy duty power cord that is about 5 feet long. On the top of the unit there is a small LCD screen and buttons to turn it on or off, adjust the temperature or control the speed. It has high, low and fan only modes. Around the LCD screen there is chrome trim that looks nice. There are many uses for this heater. You can use it to heat one room or one level of your house. I have used it while working out in the garage and it even put out enough heat to warm my garage up very quickly. It might also be good in an office setting. In the instructions it says only to use it on the floor but I really don't see any reason why you couldn't have it on a shelf as long as it was sturdy. This fan has two different safety mechanisms built-in. First of all if a curtain, blanket or any other items where accidentally block its airflow then it will automatically shut off. If this heater were to accidentally be knocked over then this heater is supposed to shut off as well. These are important features to have if you have children or pets that might knock it over. It has a timer so you can turn it on and have it automatically shut off in 1 hour increments between 1 and 9 hours. One of the best options of this heater is the vortex technology that circulates the air / heat so much better than the average heater or fan. I really agree that this little heater can effectively heat my entire downstairs. It distributes the heat much better so it's not roasting hot by the heater and freezing in the rest of the house. I would highly recommend this heater to anyone but I will say that the price is a little on the steep side. You will however receive a 5 year warranty this a lot better than the average 1 year warranty that most products come with. There is certainly a lot of value in an extra 4 years on the warranty. You will have to decide for yourself but over I think this heater is great and a little on the pricey side but the extra warranty helps me justify the price. You may think that the warranty isn't a big deal but what if the heater decides to stop working after 18 months. I like having the peace of mind knowing it will at least last me 5 years or they will replace / repair it.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have owned several models of Vornado heaters including the grey color of this model. This model is white and trimmed in chrome. It comes without a remote but the other color of this same model does come with one. I have one encounter their their customer service several years ago and it was outstandingly perfect. This heater is reasonably quiet and heats my room very evenly. As I own the other model of this heater I did find that the remote sensor is still built in this model. I am sure one can buy the remote as an accessory if one decides that it is needed. Some folks just set it and never use the remote. It is just a personal choice.

In some ways this model is a real beauty in its white and chrome trim. Highly recommended.

It is built like a premium product it is!

Honest reviews on Vornado TVH500 Whole Room Vortex Heater

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I really wanted to like this. I could really use a good heater for my house, since heating costs so much in the North. But, this was a mixed bag.

First, it does blow warm air, which is nice. But only directly in front of it. If you are off to the side outside of a 30 degree or so cone, you don't get moving air that is warm. You get moving air that is COLD. I mean, c'mon people! It's winter time! Why would I want a fan?!?

Second, the thermostat is weird. I set it for 72 and put it on high. The room temperature was 57. Within a few minutes, it told me that the room temperature was 61. I thought, "Pretty good!". Then, the air coming out got noticeably colder. Eventually, it got chilly. It would go on to become warm again, then cold again. And I was left wondering what was going on.

On the up side, it is relatively quiet. That said, I'd prefer a heater with a very quiet fan that blows less air, and that doesn't make me cold if I am not the lucky person who won the coin flip and got to sit directly in front of it.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Personally I have very large vaulted ceilings, so using space heaters saves lots of money. Instead of trying to heat the whole house, I mostly just place the heater in the rooms I frequent the most shutting off spare bedrooms, etc. In the living room with the highest ceiling, I was hoping to use this as a new heater. When I got home the house was very cold 65 degrees. I plugged this heater in & put on the side of the room blowing toward the center. Surprisingly about 10 minutes later I realized the heater had turned itself off. The thermostat on the heater was reading 75 for heat & room 75... which is was far from. I checked the thermostat in the hall, it said house was 67 (merely on the other end of the same room). I unplugged the heater & plugged it back in, now the thermostat said the house was only 70 and the heater started up again. After another 15 minutes, off again. This was starting to get annoying. I tried extending the heater as far away from the wall as possible, the length of the extension chord (4 foot), hoping that would keep it from recirculated its own heat (me thinking that was the reason the thermostat was being tricked into reading a higher temp). Still after about 15 minutes, it was off once more showing 75 while standing less than 10 foot from the heater & feeling cold. Finally today it was running good & stayed on all morning, but not sure if the problem is fixed or just on hiatus. Either way, for this money I'd expect more. Sure it's quiet & the heat coming out is warm for such a small heater, but I want more than that for this kind of money.

I received this humidifier 2 weeks ago after searching for a decent humidifier to replace the one i owned that was famous for robbing me in replacements filter, etc. fees. This thing fits the bill. The design is great, it's super quiet, and gets the job done. In choosing this product i read all the reviews. The reviews that made me hesitant to purchase this were the complaints that said: a)that the furniture on and around the humidifier got wet all the time, b)that the machine did not cut off if empty, as advertised, c)that the machine is hard to clean, and d) that it makes a lot of noise.

With hesitation, I purchased the product in good faith.

I was immediately pleased by the design. I read the owner's manual even though i thought it all was a "no brainer". The manual actually explained a)how to adjust the mist as to not wet the furniture around it, and b)that the machine will turn off when empty, but the light on the device will remain lite...obviously the part those that said the machine did not turn off failed to read, and c)how the machine is easy to clean with a vinegar or chlorine solution.

Cleaning is easy. I recommend using the bleach solution as bleach will kill anything..not to mention it also gets rid of the discoloration.

Lastly, the sound the comes from the machine is very subtle, but when u hear it, it is exactly like the soothing sounds of a filter running on a fish tank. It actually helped me sleep... having this white, very subtle noise.

I like this thing. My skin and nose are happy.

I hope this clarifies some of the ambiguity i found in the other reviews....

I purchased the Crane cool mist humidifier in Dec'10 and have used it, with great success, for many months. With all the negative reviews (about 20%) I almost didn't purchase this machine. But I'm glad I did, because it works really well for what it is: a mid size/capacity humidifier.

First of all: ***this humidifier has a 2.3 gallon per day maximum output, with a .9 gallon tank.*** Amazon's initial title for this (and many other humidifiers) mentions daily output capacity rather than tank size... this may be confusing, although the correct specs are prominently listed on the Amazon page fifth bullet point in the "product features" section. As for Crane (the manufacturer), their package clearly states a 2.3 gallon daily output, and .9 gallon tank size... The reviewers complaining about the "misleading name" should try emailing Amazon suggesting a title change on their website... instead of writing a 1 or 2 star review of the product. That would be more helpful and more fair.

As for the product itself:

A few buyers obviously received defective machines; this has to be expected on some level with any manufacturer.

But having read over the negative reviews, I realized that most of the complaints were due to improper use of the machine.

It is essential to read the instruction manual and use the machine as intended by design. Doing so will avoid the pitfalls described by most of these 1-2 star review writers. For reference, I have addressed their most common complaints below:

1) White dust buildup in the room: use filtered or distilled water. This is important if you have hard tap water. (85% of American homes do.) I run my tap water through a Brita filter; the exchange ion resin lowers the concentration of calcium carbonates, accordingly softening tap water. It also helps keep the humidifier cleaner by removing organic impurities, and I have had no white dust buildup. ***If your water is particularly high in mineral content, you should use distilled water, or else opt for a vaporizer-type (humidifying) machine, which creates water vapor free of white dust.***

2) Limited effectiveness: you are trying to humidify too large a room. In my 500 square foot living room level the machine helps a little; in my 150 square foot bedroom the machine is more than adequate.

3) Height of machine: the manual directs you to put the humidifier *at least* a few feet off the ground; there's no reason you can't place it even higher up if you wish. Doing so will disperse the mist more effectively.

4) Machine runs out of water: try turning it down to about 2/3 power instead of full power. The machine is practically noiseless at this setting and the water tank if actually filled to the rim will last at least 8-10 hours.

5) Machine makes bubbling noise on high: see #4 above.

6) Wet area forms immediately around humidifier: you have the machine turned up too high for the conditions in your room. This is explained in the instruction manual: you need to make sure the mist isn't falling down onto the surfaces around the machine; otherwise moisture will accumulate on those surfaces. Turn the power dial down until the vapor stream is fully evaporating in the air.

7) Machine leaks: Take care that the water tank fits snugly into place, with no gaps. Also, make sure you have the clear rubber ring that fits inside the tank cap. During my initial setup, this little (1 1/2" diameter) ring came loose and rolled away, and I almost didn't notice. The ring ensures a tight seal on your water tank cap; without it, I'm pretty sure the machine would leak.

8) Machine gets moldy: you are not following the correct cleaning routine, as described in the manual. You need to empty and rinse out the tank daily, and empty the bottom part of the unit too. Once a week you should use a white vinegar/warm water mixture in the tank and bottom of unit (see manual).

I hope this was helpful. If my humidifier breaks down I will certainly update this review.

We bought the Vicks cool mist humidifier first. it was so noisy in the nursery that we didn't use it when our daughter was sleeping. We bought this one hoping that it would be a little more quite. We can't even hear it! It also takes up very little space and is easy to fill in the shallow bathroom sink. Awesome purchase. worth the extra $.

Honest reviews on Crane Drop Shape Cool Mist Humidifier

This humidifier is the perfect size for a bedroom. The tank empties in about a day, so the water doesn't sit around too long to get mildew or mold. The humidifier puts out lots of moisture, and is absolutely whisper-quiet! We have the penguin-shaped one for our son's room, and this one for ours. Both are great.

This humidifier DOES work in that it does create a nice full water vapor stream HOWEVER, thats as far as it goes functionally. Let me explain:

1. Starting with the fact that the handle on the tank actually says: "Do NOT use handle when tank is full" yes, I kid you not, this is what it says ON the handle itself why put in a handle that you cant use? As a result you have to carry the tank with both hands.

2. It has a light that cannot be turned off, so good luck sleeping w this thing in your bedroom.

3. It has to be refilled CONSTANTLY I did it morning and night.

4. The tank will NOT stand up due to the awkward shape when off the unit, so to fill it, you have to stand there holding it under the faucet.

5. The way its designed, the tank drips every time you take it out to refill a real pain.

6. But here is by far the worst aspect Cleaning it is a NIGHTMARE The base is full of little nooks and crannies that you have to get to w a Q-tip its full of odd angles, grooves, etc. so good luck trying to get the gunk that accumulates off every couple of days.

7. It has NO antibacterial prevention WHATSOEVER, no filter, no uv light, no silver ion exchange, nothing. If theres something in the water or if something starts breeding in all the crevices youll just breath it right in.

8. The TANK ITSELF is impossible to clean due to the small opening but widening interior and the central tube where the water vapor comes out...good luck cleaning that, you have to work a cloth or paper towel or whatever by pushing and pulling it through up and down the tube.

I actually bought it here at Amazon and went by the very reviews you probably read and, seeing it has mostly positive ones, I decided to buy it. Am I the only one that sees this humidifier as the worst possible design? How on EARTH is it getting so many good reviews? But dont take MY word for it, go to a store before ordering it here so you can see it with your own eyes first hand dont judge it by the "cool look"; actually get it out of the box, pull up the water reservoir and see whos telling the honest truth here.

DONT BUY! Real pain!

Vornado VH2 Whole Room Vortex Heater Review

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $99.99
Sale Price: $65.77
Today's Bonus: 34% Off

I own 3 vornado heaters, including this one, and they have been the best i've owned by a wide margin. here's why:

* they fan enough air to mix the room air and maintain a more uniform temperature (their advertising is true in that respect)

* no 'hot toaster zone' in front of the heater, with the rest of the room cold

* it is quiet

* the thermostat works! the heater puts out less heat after the room has warmed up

* this heater may appear to take longer to warm up a room for one reason: it is heating up the whole room, not just a small zone immediately surrounding the unit.

* It does use nearly 1500 watts, which is the maximum a heater can consume to be UL approved on a conventional 15Amp household outlet/circuit. The only way it puts out less heat is if you account for a more active fan. The reason the heat feels less when you put your hand in front of the unit is due to the larger amound of air being fanned. The total heat output (heat per cubic foot of air moved X the number of cubic feet of air moved) is the same... just with more even results

for best results: it helps to think of this heater as an 'ambient' heater:

(the following would work for pretty much any heater)

*position the heater in one corner of the room, preferably near the coldest wall... it will suck in the cold air, warm it and push it into the room

*do not aim the heater toward any sitting area... fanning air always makes it feel cooler (summer fan cooling anyone?) and will give the false impression that the heater is not working... when it is in fact warming the room

* if your heater has a temperature sensitive, variable speed fan: set the fan on high and it will not cycle on/off... it will also mix more air in the room and in doing so, maintain a more uniform temperature

Notes:

* I typically let my furnace bring the house to 69 degrees (from it's daytime setting of 58) when I get home at night and let the heater keep it at that temp afterwards. Even in Chicago winters, the furnace usually doesn't come on after the first run (my main floor is an open area, 700 sq. feet, with 7 windows and 2 doors... with only generic insulation... in Chicagoland)

* no space heater is considered 'whole house capable' in winter conditions. A 1500 Watt unit just cannot put out the BTU's a furnace can. It is not realistic to expect a space heater to quickly bring a whole house from cold to toasty warm in a short time.

On the lower side... Vornado seems to have had quality issues with the manufacturing of their heaters.. They've even had a recall on another model of theirs (which i own) due to faulty (read cheap?) solder points

So my rating for this heater is:

5 stars based on features and performance

-1 star for reduced trust factor

---------------------------------------------------

4 stars

It's very important not to get confused (as I suspect some reviewers have been) between two very similar Vortex models, the VH2 and the DVH. The DVH does indeed break almost instantly and should be avoided. This model, the VH2, on the other hand, is perfectly adequate for the price. No small electric heater in this price range is going to do a great job of quickly heating a large drafty room on an extremely cold day, but the VH2 does a find job. You will have to be patient however: it will take several hours to notice much of an effect in large dining room or kitchen. But if you wait, you will find that the VH2 gets the job done (and is quiet as well).

Best Deals for Vornado VH2 Whole Room Vortex Heater

I live in an old drafty icebox of a house built in the 1930's. Even when I run my gas heater, it doesn't do much good. I needed a space heater, and bad! I was wary of buying a space heater as I figured it couldn't help, but I'm glad I got this one! I read the instructions, followed their recommendations

for a large room and in about 15 minutes it took the chill off and made it so much more comfortable! It even reached into the surrounding hallway and dining room. I'm quite pleased. As a pet owner, I also appreciate the smaller vents that keep curious kitty cat's out of the heater. My cats all congregate by it and there's no way for them to get inside of it.

Honest reviews on Vornado VH2 Whole Room Vortex Heater

I purchased the Vornado VH2 Heater, but I returned it to the store after a few days.

My wife and I owned a Lasko Ceramic Element 30" Pedestal heater for years, but this season it finally died. We chose the Vornado VH2 Vortex heater after reading some of the positive reviews.

We live in the Northeast, have kind of a drafty apartment and we try to keep the heat low or off to save energy. The space heater goes into whatever room we are in and we use it to heat that room while we are there. Or we turn it on in the bedroom in the morning while we get ready for the day.

After a few days, it was clear that the Vornado VH2 was not going to cut it. The unit blows heat, but it is very tepid compared to our other heater.

We did notice that the Vornado VH2 (as many positive reviews here have mentioned) gives a very ambient warmth meaning that it seems to spread the heat about the room very evenly. However, be warned, it takes a loooong time for it to even raise the temperature a little bit.

I am confident in saying that this is NOT the heater for certain uses. For instance, if you have a home office and you like to use a heater to aim warmth your workstation area, this would not do the trick. Also, it isn't the heater for a fast warm-up. The Vornado VH2's big failure was in our morning routine. Usually, during the winter, we wake up, put on the heater, go into the bathroom to get ready and when return to the bedroom the heater has it nice and toasty. Well, the first morning using the Vornado was a shock it felt as if nothing had changed in the room.

After a couple of days, I went out and bought another Lasko heater, (same model as we had before,) brought it home and did a side by side comparison. NO CONTEST. I immediately boxed up the Vornado and returned it.

*****On a safety note: The plug for the Vornado VH2 seemed to not sit well in the outlet. When I would go to unplug it after using it, I would notice that the plug would kind of be hanging down, just a little, out of the outlet. This doesn't seem to be the case with our new heater, or our old one.

Not sure if there was a faulty batch that other people here received, but this will be the 3rd season using this product.. and it is the perfect answer to heating up a small room quickly. A Large room does indeed take more time, especially if there are open doors or wide openings in the room. It is not meant to be on 24 hours a day so maybe thats why other people are having trouble. The internal thermostat ensures you won't be wasting any more energy than you need to. About to buy my 2nd one right now..

We are really pleased with our fireplace. It looks great in our living room. We live in a small townhouse, and the fireplace keeps the living room toasty. The heat output begins immediately to move the ceiling fan on it's own, as the heat rises. The furnace now rarely runs. The bedrooms are cool, which is how we like it. We live in South Carolina, so winter nights are cool but not frigid. Our electric bill (furnace is an electric heat exchanger) was less than expected last month. Will continue to evaluate this as the winter progresses. So far, very happy with this purchase.

If you buy a Dimplex product, cross your fingers that nothing breaks because if you have to call their customer service/technical support you are in for wild ride. It will take you about 2 hours on hold to get through to a live rep (who has that luxury??). They'll tell you it's their "busy season" meaning it's wintertime (duh!)

Now, if you're lucky enough to actually get through to a live rep, cross your fingers again that your problem wont require them sending out a rep to fix it, because you will be told to expect a call in one-to-two-days to set up an appointment (they wont give you the number to call yourself, you must wait for the call). But then the call doesn't come and you realize that your only recourse is to call Dimplex. Now your back to going on hold for two hours again.

The good news though is that if your fireplace breaks down in the middle of summer when you don't use it, you'll be able to get right through to one of their reps.

Having been extremely familiar with using utility heaters to warm ourselves in the winter I wanted to try out the Patton Recirculating Utility Heater. Upon turning the heater on you could feel the heat instantly. I placed my hand about 12 inches in front of the heater and it was definitely radiating heat.

One interesting point that I noticed with this heater is that the "main" heat stream was pointing upwards. I had never seen that before on a heater but it really made it effective to heat up our small back bedroom. It only takes about three minutes before the bedroom would be up to a comfortable temperature. This will be an excellent choice for a shop heater and with the holidays right around the corner, think ahead of time for the special men or women in your life that spend time outdoors!

Whether you're working with gloves in your shop or not the dials are smooth to turn and easily moveable with some bulky gloves on. There is also an easy "off" setting so that you do not have to worry about constantly plugging and unplugging the heater, which is a big pain from personal experience.

A great heater, warms very quickly and efficiently!

Reviews of DeLonghi Solaris Oil-Filled Radiator with Timer

Customer Ratings:

I received this heater as a replacement of another Delonghi heater which was higher-performing with more heat output in watts. This is how Delonghi treats you with its cocky 1-year limited warranty. You might as well get an inferior, cheaper product as Delonghi mistreats its customers to do itself a favor. The service location to deliver the broken heater was far, and Delonghi took more than a month to provide me with this cheaper heater.

Besides, both my original heater and the replacement (this heater that the review is about) broke in less than a year. I had to change through 3 heaters in less than a year due to Delonghi's rock bottom product quality. Additionally, the heater makes a noise when in operation that sounds like beating its metal with a hard object. It can be disturbing depending on the person.

Do NOT buy from Delonghi to bear this poor product quality and customer service.

This unit clicks constantly. I bought this for a baby's room where I need quiet, even, safe heat. You turn it on and the noise starts as the element heats up... click... click... click... click... Baby then turns around, starts to get restless, and the screaming could start at any minute.

I've used cheap oil filled heaters in the past and they did not have this problem. When I pay a premium for a brand name and supposedly quality design, I expect better than what DeLonghi has provided here. It should not take an engineering genius to realize that heat causes metal to expand and take it into account when designing the product.

Disappointing. Very disappointing.

UPDATE:

And then it broke. Slightly more than one year after purchase this model failed when the GFCI plug melted. So down from a 2 star rating to a 1 star.

I'd give this zero stars if I could. We had this for a little over a month. It worked great at first. It heated our cold kitchen quickly and kept the tempature steady. Then one day, it stopped working. The light would not come on and there's no reason why it wouldn't work. The red button on the plug was pushed in many times and it still would not work. The manual does not give any instruction as to how to fix it except deal with their technicans. There's no sense in dealing with the company based on the other reviews. At least spring is coming, so we'll find a better heater next year.

One more thing. When I turn on both heat setting (Highest), I hear bubbling(boiling) sound so I keep it in Medium and it's working fine.

I purchased this unit several years ago and was very happy with it for 1 and ½ seasons then it began making an intermittent clicking noise, then the noise became continuous. The noise is loud enough that I have to keep the door to the adjoining bath closed in order to sleep. I have not found any replacement parts or disassembly instructions.

This is a shame since the low-profile, relatively small size, selectable wattage, steady heat and timer functions are virtually unique. I held on to the unit and run in areas of the house or garage where noise isn't a distraction and hoped that DeLonghi (or some other manufacture) would market an updated version of this heater without the noise problem. I've not seen one in the three years since this unit began making noise.

In closing this is a wonderful heater until or unless it begins to make the clicking sound seen in numerous other online reviews. I would not buy another of these units or similar DeLohghi heaters with the multi-pin timer.

As a side note I have owned a DeLonghi coffee maker and espresso machine and had quality problems with these units as well. It appears to me that this company has good product design and marketing but poor assembly, quality control and customer service. As attractive as several of their products are I have chosen to avoid items marketed by this company.

right out of the box worked great. Heated a 34x34 garage in no time at all. only problem the propane tank I was using was frozen. Temp in the garage before the heater was -5 after it was 50.

This is a FANTASTIC heater but there are some things a new buyer should be aware of. It'll bring a 30x60x12 garage from 0 to 60 in about an hour and a half. However you really do need a 100 lb tank. You can get away with a 40 or 50 lb heating a smaller area on low otherwise the tanks will condense and shut off the gas flow to the heater. They are louder than you'd expect if you haven't used one of these before because of the blower fan. Think mini jet. I've also used the convection style heaters and depending on your needs these are both great. The convection style is much quieter but takes a fair bit longer to heat a large space and you won't get as even a heat in the room. For larger spaces or fast heat up the forced air heater is an awesome product.Mr. Heater MH125FAV 125,000-BTU Forced-Air Propane HeaterMr. Heater 80,000 BTU Propane Convection Heater #MH80CV

I'm in the process of insulating and paneling a 12x30 portable building to be used as a workshop. During the winter it get's a bit cold here. I got this hoping it would heat the building enough to work comfortably. I couldn't. Kept having to turn it off after every 15 minutes of run time and wait 45 minutes to an hour before needing it again. That's a lot of heat from a device that's slightly larger than ones thigh. It uses very little propane for a LOT of heat. I heartily recommend it.

This thing really works like a charm. The only bummer is the slight propane smell when used in a slightly enclosed place. Heats up a large space in minutes.

I can now change my uninviting work area in the northernmost portion of Michigan from a freezing cold refrigerator into a shirtsleeves comfortable shop. This heater does everything I'd hoped for.
