I saw there were no reviews for this waterbed so I bought it taking a chance(big mistake). This waterbed comes with no instructions and no fill/drain kit so I had to wait another three days to buy a separate kit. It came in a very sketchy cardboard box that looked like it had been through a hurricane. I filled it up 2 days ago and noticed this morning that my waterbed tarp was soaking wet. I wiped it up and a few hours later more had leaked out. Save yourself the headache I'm going through now and DO NOT BUY THIS.

I love this a/c unit for my bedroom works like a charm and reasonably quiet if you keep all the filters cleaned. My only question is who designed the exhaust hose set up? It is absolutley ridiculous. I've gone through about $20 of duck tape just trying to keep the stupid exhaust hose in the plastic piece. Why the engineers took a lunch break on this part of the unit is just beyond me. I finally just superglued the darn pieces together. Otherwise, great machine but for the money they really dropped the ball on the exhaust hose set up.

We purchased this item based partly on the reviews here. We paid extra for overnight delivery. The item arrived ok and we unboxed and plugged it in. This unit initialized correctly and then the cold air came out. Ahhh. This is going to be just what we need. It ran for 15 seconds and then the compressor shut down. The fan kept running. We tried it different locations thinking it might be a power problem. It is not. We called Product Support only to sit on hold with no one to answer the phone.

It may well be that this is a good product but you roll the dice if you get one of the good ones.

We ordered this on Amazon Prime and paid for next day delivery. That all went fine. We were going to ask for a replacement but then found out that to get a replacement takes 3 to 5 weeks. Huh? What? You can get me the product in 1 day but it takes 5 weeks to replace it?

What's up with that?

I live in Arizona and needed something better than a Evap cooler for my garage. This unit works well even when the outside temp is 115 degrees. It will bring the inside garage temp down to 85 degrees in 700 sq feet of garage.

Honest reviews on Koldfront PAC1401W Ultracool 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

I will state a couple of positives first. It cools fast and it's relatively quiet. There you go. Now worst to first. Set-up with the window adapter, exhaust tube and connecting it to the back of the unit took me an hour! I'm no Joe-contractor, but I've taken apart and put together enough things in my life to know that this is a total duct-tape job at all three points. Tomorrow I have to go to the hardware store to get some clamps that might work. It's ridiculous that the manufacturer of this machine doesn't spend a few extra cents per unit to include a few easy connectors. Get this the owner's manual actually says "duct tape may be required" for the window installation. Classy, huh? Okay, so knowing that I would have never purchased this. Next, the "swing" function designed to circulate the air on my unit is useless because if I employ it, there's a slow ratcheting sound as the louvers raise which lasts about five seconds and sounds three times louder than the unit at full compressor. This wouldn't be so bad, except that there is no left to right adjustment for air direction. Another design flaw is the cheap filter. It doesn't readily show ambient temp, you have to plow through the remote control to find the function. This is far and away the worst product I've ever purchased on Amazon. Why not return it? You put it all back together and haul it back to the UPS store up and down three flights of stairs in 100 degree heat after you just spent the most frustrating hour in recent memory and it's just not worth the hassle. Plus, I only need it a few weeks a year. Instead I would highly recommend the LG at this BTU. I had an LG and it was snap, snap, done in five minutes. I'll be selling this one after the heat is gone and getting another LG. Don't buy this product. I would never buy anything with this brand name. Sorry folks at Koldfront your product, at this price is a rip off. BTW if you're one of the people pulling your hair out trying to connect the hose, you can buy clamps similar to those you use on a dryer exhaust. Also, if using tape, I would suggest a high grade high temp pvc tape. Slightly less unsightly seals better and does not break down as quickly as duct tape. Just a couple suggestions to save you some headaches because you will have some.

We purchased this unit for our server room and it should provide plenty of cooling; however, it does not. We replaced a 12,000 BTU LG Unit after it died and hoped that this unit would be as good. It is not.

Our setup:

5" Ducting from the back of the unit to the ceiling to vent out the heat

Powered water pump unit to carry the condensation outside the building

The unit is sitting in front of our 42U Server Rack

Problems:

The EXHAUST Port on the back only sticks out 1/2" making it nearly impossible to hold the exhaust hose.

* We had to heavily duct tape the exhaust host and tie it up to keep it in place

* Warm air still leaks out

The Cold Output is minimal. The air is cold but does not travel very far.

* The 12k BTU LG worked well and kept the room cool

We are going to get rid of it and replace it with a split duct unit.

RoadPro RPSL-681 12V Direct Hook-Up Ceramic Heater/Fan with Swivel Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Just installed one of these in my John Deere Tractor cab, and am pretty disapointed. I have seen these advertised as both 300 Watts and now Amazon is listing them as only 180 watts???? So am not sure if there is two models of this or not??? I bought it because of the review on here from the guy with the skid steer praising it??? I found mine will take 20 mins to defrost[about a foot square hole NOT the whole thing] the windshield if its ZERO degrees here in Northern Maine. I dont really know what it would be good for???? I would say it would be something that would heat up an area maybe 18"X18" square not the cab of a tractor, that is more like 4ft square. If you think it will heat up a vehicle anything like the vehicle heater, you are going to be very disapointed. As it's output is about 1/10th of that.............. I would not have bought it if I could have pluged one in before I bought!!! Maybe a better way of rating it is that a standard hairdryer[1500wt] will put out atleast times what this does; if you have a 300watt version; the 180watt version, they are selling now, would only put out than a hairdryer. So if you think about how long it would take to heat up the vehicle with a standard hairdryer and then assume it will take 8X longer you can see it is going to take a very LONG TIME!

This heater is a marked improvement over the 12v ceramic defroster type heater (powered by a cigarette lighter receptacle) tha I had installed. The unit wires directly to the battery with thicker gatuge wire. Alternatively, it can be wired to the main bus bar which is the case in my boat. The heater warms the cabin of my BellBoy classic glass cruiser. So, I am pleased with it and would recommend it for similar small-spaced applications.

I splurged on this item for the holidays for myself. I like to spend cold winter nights under a cozy throw with fuzzy slippers by the fireplace. Once I went upstairs to go to bed, though...I lost the cozy feel and I always wished I could have a fireplace in my bedroom. Not really having the money to install a "real" fireplace...I looked into the "fake" options. This unit hangs on the wall like a painting. It really is easy to do (I did it myself in about half an hour) and takes up no room at all. Now I can continue the cozy feeling when I climb into bed. I love the automatic timer shut off option so I can fall asleep and know that it won't stay on all night. The only thing that is not perfect about it is that the sound that it makes is a fan blowing sound (necessary I know) and there is no fire crackling sound. I have attempted to resolve this issue by playing nature sounds of fireplace noise. All I need now is the fireside candle from yankee candle and I will have the entire effect! It is a great way to spend the money if you love to sit fireside!

This electric fireplace is ideal for a small room where you wouldn't otherwise have the space for a fireplace. The logs are fairly realistic looking and the flames are as realistic as you'd get in more expensive electric fireplaces. The remote is great, but has a fairly short range (not a problem if you've got this in a small room.) I'm pleased that the heater fan is fairly quiet. The only real problem is that the heat only shoots straight up and there's no built-in diverter to redirect the air. That is easily solved by buying a deflector and attaching it to the top (though it loses some of it's charm with a deflector attached...)

Best Deals for Fire Sense Wood Wall Mounted Electric Fireplace

I bought this to hang on my bedroom wall. It's one of the most realistic looking fires I've ever seen. The only thing that gives it away is the flames repeat if you keep staring at it too long.. I've seen other fireplaces that I thought looked pretty realistic until I bought this and now they look like toys.

I did want to use it for supplemental heat in my room during winter, but it does not have a thermostat so you have to turn it on and off with the remote for the heat.. doesn't work real well at night if you want it to keep your room warm while you sleep as it would get too warm running nonstop and it's a little loud. But the realistic fire to me is still worth 5 stars and putting a little space heater with a thermostat in the corner of the room takes care of the heat.

One nice feature is it has a timer so you can set it before you go to bed in half hour intervals up to 8 hours, and fall asleep to a fire but not have it run all night. Great ambiance lighting for watching TV, falling asleep, etcetera etcetera (wink wink).

PSif you want a candle that makes your room smell like a real wood fireplace, the Firewood wood wick by Candlewood Candle Co is the best and smells exactly like a hardwood fire is blazing away in a real brick fireplace. And it crackles.

Living in the northern US, the long heating season invariably leaves my back dry and itchy. A similarly-afflicted friend and I were joking around, speculating on how one might design an item to apply moisturizing lotion to hard-to-reach areas, and spotted this item online.

I'll admit, I was skeptical about products like this. Are they effective? Wouldn't they be messy? Some offer replaceable applicator pads, but who wants to keep buying refills? Roll A Lotion has all of these concerns covered.

Unscrew the floating-ball head and load in your favorite lotion, cream, gel. Apply.

I've used mine for a couple of weeks, and it works perfectly. Nineteen rolling balls apply a nice even layer of lotion, no mess, no fuss. Thicker lotions work wonderfully; I use Curel. Keep in the shower for quick moisturizing after toweling off. To clean, remove the applicator head and rinse under the faucet.

Your back (or any other hard-to-reach part of your choosing) will thank you.

I used one of these on and off for about 6 months. It is very poorly constructed. And it does not work well anyway. The lotion is not applied well. The balls do not roll very well. some of the lotion dries up and then the balls get stuck. I got frustrated with it and left it, but then decided to try it again. I was still very disappointed. Then a piece of the side wall just broke off. I decided then I've had enough of the crap and threw it away. I would not recommend this product it all. I wouldn't even want it for free.

Over half of the roller balls were 'frozen' solid and would not turn ...I used abrasive cloth and got a few to rotate ... but many just won't roll.

I picked this up for a kids party planning to prepack cotton candy bags instead of renting a machine, it worked out great. The first batch was a little tricky. But once I gave up on the cones it was very easy. I used a reversed chopstick (sharp end in my hand) and twirled it in one place instead of moving around the machine, Frankly the bowl isn't big enough for the classic cone filling motion. Holding the wide end of the chopstick slightly above the unit and spinning in place quickly each measure of sugar gave me a softball sized wad of candy. I slid it off the stick into a ziplock bag and sealed it, kept great for a day and the kids loved it, this is a lower calorie treat for kids than a bowl of ice cream or a plate of cookies and twice as fun. Keeping me from five stars is the size of the bowl and the inability to easily seat the bowl firmly. I had to hold on edge down with my hand to eliminate an annoying buzz. Performs well after a few tries, produces a very fine sugar. I also wish it was easier to clean under the bulb, but the rest of the unit just takes a few swipes with hot water. Great home unit.

My wife and daughter LOVE cotton candy. I used to run all the concessions at a large amusement park, so I would have been happy if I never made cotton candy again in my life. However...I saw this and thought it would make a great Christmas present for them.

I was a little dubious when I saw that the heat is generated from small halogen light bulbs. I was used to the commercial makers that get VERY hot. The heat is certainly sufficient to make nice, fluffy cotton candy. It isn't nearly as fast as the machines you see at a fair, but it works well enough for making a few cones at home.

I saw other reviews that said it didn't work well until the fourth or fifth time it was used. It worked fine on the first use for me.

This is not what you are looking for if you want to make a lot of cotton candy at once, It probably took about 3-4 minutes to make a small cone that a commercial machine would make in a few seconds. On the other hand, this one didn't cost $1200.

Hints:

1. The warm up period of 5 minutes is absolutely necessary.

2. The Floss (cotton candy) does not come out fast enough and the bowl is not big enough to pick up the cotton candy the way you see it done at the fair. I had the best result by getting it started on the cone and then slowly twirling the cone directly over the head (where the sugar goes in).

3. Do not turn off the machine until all the sugar is out of the head. The remaining sugar can solidify and become quite a hassle to get out. This is the number one cause of having to repair the commercial cotton candy makers.

I also ordered the Cotton Candy Express Fun Pack Kit with three flavors and a bunch of paper cones. It worked very well.

This was a christmas gift for my girls ages 10 and 12.It is well made. Its easy to put together and very easy and FUN to use. Takes a little practice to get the rolling of the cone right but makes tasty fluffy cotton candy at home! Definitely get the special sugar to make the cotton candymuch better than using hard candies and a little goes a long way.Not for small children the center of the device gets very hot to spin the sugar.Do not let children use this device unsupervised. It is not a kids toy. The two reusuable cones are greatyou will only need paper ones if you are making cotton candy for a group.This Waring Cotton Candy maker is great fun!

I am a very picky decorator and I would prefer a real fireplace, but after hearing my hubby gripe about gas prices and only turning on my gas fireplace for special occasions, I looked for an inexpensive option, and this was perfect. Honestly, with a little doctoring it looks great. I already had a decorative screen and log rack, which really adds to the effect. I also added a small piece of wood across the lit window in the front so it did not look like a perfect rectangle of orange light, which also looks great. I read on another site that some people hid a mirror (or piece of foil) behind the flame to enhance the glow (I haven't tried that, but it might add to the glow effect). The turn on switch is in an odd place, so we plugged it into one of those add in plugs that can be turned on right at the plug or by remote, which is great. The "crackling" sound is a bit odd, but hardly noticeable really. If you play with the piece of metal by bending it, it almost sounds like a true crackle. Put it this way...it's A GREAT DEAL FOR THE MONEY (and you can have it on in any kind of weather)!!!!

This was surprisingly nice electric fire log. They use real wood in the construction, so it actually looks pretty good -maybe not so much when you take it out of the box and sit it on the table, but when it's in your fireplace it looks rather realistic. Turning it on only enhances that realistic appearance even more -it really does look like a glowing, crackling fire, and unless you point out that it's fake, most people would probably not give it a second glance . They'd just think you had a nice fire going. You can increase or decrease the "crackling" noise of the "fire" by bending the metal shield in the back in/out. I also enhanced the overall look by adding some more wood sticks to the front of it so it didn't look quite so perfect of a stack of wood.

Now, it's not without its faults. The first one I received started humming loudly shortly after I first used it. It rapidly got to the point of annoyance where it was simply unusable, so I sent it back for an exchange. The second one seems to be doing better, but I have noticed a bit of a motor hum sometimes. For this one I dampened the vibration/hum a little by putting a piece of foam pipe insulation under each "foot" where it touched the metal grate of my fireplace. I think this helps with the vibration by reducing it going into the medal grate, which is what I believe amplifies that hum.

I ended up installing mine on a wireless remote that also controls all my lights, so I'm able to sit in a chair, push a button, and start my fire. Not clap-on/clap-off, but pretty close! It's pretty nice for what it is. I don't see how any of these fake, non-heating fireplaces could be any better, even though some are hundreds of dollars more expensive. This one does the trick and for a relatively cheap price.

Edit: One more thing -don't waste your money on the high priced decorative grate that is specifically designed for this product. Just about any fireplace grate will do. I picked up one from a local hardware store for $12 that works perfectly.

Honest reviews on GHP Group Pleasant Hearth 20" Electric Crackling Natural Wood Log

I purchased a used electric fireplace that is old, very beautiful and just not made like this anymore. However because of a broken part the electric fire was not operable and I have been looking and pondering for almost one year what to do about the situation as I was not going to part with my beautiful electric fireplace with mantel. Wallah you had the answer and now I am in electric fireplace "LOG HEAVEN."

I did not need the heater as I have excellent heat in this independent living facility that I live in. My apartment is small and without a fireplace which is one thing that I will not do without even if I buy my own and carry it with me wherever I go. I did some extra decorative work to make it look more real and in a way you cannot tell that it is a fake. I think it might be able to fool a very young child at first sight and maybe fool the younger child a longer period of time.

These logs are at a price that the poor can afford and much, much lower in price than they could be. The video shows the electric logs as they actually are and so does the advertisement picture of them. These logs are a real blessing for me and I will pray for the inventor and maker of them as he or she is blessing people with these.

Well I received these logs in 2011 and every winter beginning in November it is turned on and stays turned on round the clock until March comes in. At Christmas it is awesome to look at and everyone that sees it like it very much.

One lady could not believe it had no heat and went directly up to it and put her hand directly on the fake fire. No heat at all. I am blessed, I am so blessed with these logs.

I loved this little crackling fire at first. It looked great in my vintage, acorn fireplace. However, after only two weeks the motor has gone. Now it is so annoyingly loud I can't even turn it on. It first started making excessive noise after only one week. I found by positioning it differently it became quiet again but only for a short time. I live in Ontario, so shipping it back to Amazon for an exchange will cost me at least $25. and I don't think that it's worth it. I will most likely have to find some place to have it fixed. So sad.

I was very excited about this heater it looks so much nicer than anything else on the market and I had high hopes for it alleviating my gas bill by allowing me to heat only the space I needed in my apartment. It worked great for about 3 or 4 weeks.

Pros:

Max heat output is very high

Noise is minimal (my girlfriend and I could sleep with it on no problem)

Nice selection of intensity with two heat levels and an optional fan

Useful timer system we used it to heat the bedroom while we fell asleep and set it to come on an hour or so before we woke up.

Cons:

Would be nice if the cord was a bit longer. But, we live in an old house with few outlets so that may be a non-issue for most.

Unfortunately, it abruptly stopped working after only a few weeks of use. We tried to turn it on one morning and it was simply unresponsive. I would like to order a replacement, but since I have heard others complain of similar issues, I'm afraid that might be a waste of time. I am returning it for a refund (thanks to Amazon for making that a fairly simple process).

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The heater we received was also black, not red. We have used it to warm up the master bathroom prior to showering and it worked great. We've had an older, small ceramic space heater for many years that cost less and works fine, but lacks the temperature control and timer aspects that this heater has. The ceramic heater also makes more noise than this heater does.

When I looked for reviews of this heater, I noticed many complaints that they simply stop working after a few weeks or months. Somewhere, I found a very helpful review from a person who explained that the reason is a fuse in the heater. That review identified the specific fuse. I don't recall where I found that specific review, but I saved the content for future reference in case our heater suddenly stops working.

Review content that identifies the potential problem:

[As another reviewer, trlinde, said in their review my heater stopped after about a month of use. I took my volt meter after it and eventually discovered that the source of the problem was a blown fuse (SF169E for those that feel adventurous). There was no outward sign that this fuse was blown but after replacing it the heater started working again. The fuse may have blown since I would run it on high often but considering trlinde's experience and what I have read about the fuse in other applications, I have to wonder if the fuse is either of poor quality or a poor component choice for this heater.

I would recommend this heater to my friends but with the caveat about the fuse.]

We did purchase one of the fuses to have on hand, just in case ours fails.

Bought this heater last year at a big box store. Almost immediately, it stopped working--would not heat at all. Crane replaced it, but the second one just died. I will not buy a Crane heater again.

Honest reviews on Crane Convection Heater

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program First off, upon opening the box, I encountered a surprise. I received a black heater as opposed to the red one I thought I'd be getting. That was fine by me since it blends in better with most décor.

The first thing I noted when I got this heating element out was its sleek, slim design. I love the fact that it can fit into narrow crevices. I was also impressed with the fact that setup required merely screwing on two legs ... that is until I actually got out my screwdriver and discovered the illogical location of the screw holes. The screws are very small and the lower vents are located right next to them. So yep, you guessed it. ... While I was trying to place the screw in its hole, it slipped and fell in the vent. Fortunately, by turning the heater upside-down I was able to get it back out, but not before cursing it under my breath. The next frustration came from the fact that the screw holes weren't exactly the right size for the screws. You'll have to use some manual strength to get them in, but upon further reflection, I prefer tight holes over too loose ones, so no points deducted there.

Now the real test was turning it on. I live in a large, old home that is not well insulated. I'm always cold. I thought this would be the perfect addition to my home office. Alas, the heater does not throw much heat, even on the highest setting. Granted, the room I'm using it in is on the larger side (about 400 square feet), but that doesn't seem to me to be too much to ask of a 1500-watt heater. My other space heaters do just as well if not better of a job and were all much cheaper. In all fairness, though, this one is whisper soft in comparison to those other heaters I own. It also comes with a built-in timer, nifty, but given that the heater doesn't ever get hot, I don't foresee myself really taking advantage of that feature.

Another plus is that my old electrical wiring handled this heater just fine--no frustrating flipped circuit breakers. It also comes with a two-prong plug, a godsend for older homes that lack grounded outlets.

Bottom line: Probably a good bet for small rooms (250 square feet or less) or as a supplemental heating element in rooms that are already a comfortable temperature. Not recommended for large rooms or as a sole heating source.

Updated February 2013: Alas, less than two months into using this heater, it no longer works. I thought I was one of the lucky ones, but I tried to turn it on one morning and got nothing. The price of this heater was a bit steep to begin with, but when multiple users are getting only weeks to 1.5 months of use out of it before it dies, you're better off looking elsewhere.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program We are very pleased with this heater. Pluses of this model include:

* It's long narrow design makes it convenient to tuck alongside a wall, out of the way.

* The fan is not loud or obtrusive or all, and it can be run without the fan for perfectly silent service. That is not an option on all space heaters, and was a very welcome feature on this one.

* You can choose to run both elements or just one, in addition to choosing the level of heat you want.

* It has a timer. Although I have no used this option yet, it is a nice option to have.

* It uses very little electricity, making it economical to run.

*It is very stable and sturdy; I am never concerned with it falling or being knocked over.

In comparison to other models we have had in the past, it is worth noting that this does not have any auto temperature setting. It can't be programmed to keep a room at a given temperature or to turn off when a desired temperature is reached like the DeLonghi DCH5090ER Safeheat 1500W Digital Ceramic Heater with Remote Control and Eco Energy Setting Gray/Black we have used in the past.

UPDATE: We were very happy with this heater, but it abruptly died after only a couple months of use for no apparent reason. Couldn't figure out why it up and died, and had no luck reviving it, so I won't be buying another!

After going through 3 other a/c's this summer (a frigidaire that arrived broken, another that was the wrong voltage and an LG from a few years ago that finally bit it) I spent the extra $ and went with a fredrich. Couldn't be happier, or for that matter, cooler. The unit takes about an hour to install, you have to slide the chassis off and mount the unit to the window (be sure to follow the instructions!) what you see when you slide the unit out from its housing is what makes this ac different. Solid commercial grade fan and compressor, a vent to take in outside air, totally solid construction.

After installing and turning it on the unit cooled off my place in about 15 min (about 550 sq. ft.) and it keeps the temp consistent. It's not the quietest unit I've heard but it's acceptable and I can easily watch a movie w the unit running in the same room.

Finally, this ac looks really nice. Love that the controls are hidden under a flip up panel. Totally modern and clean looking.

Worth the extra money and time for installiation. Highly recommended.

Back in 1999 I bought a Goldstar 10K BTU window unit and it worked perfectly for the last 13 years but it started to make some new noises that were telling me it's days were numbered.

Goldstar was bought by LG and I bought a refurbished 12K BTU LG unit on line two months ago and it turned out to be defective.

The thing I noticed was all three units were identical in their internal layout, external dimensions, and even the metal stampings in the frame and louver placement.

The only difference was the design of the plastic face attachment... like a '61 Pontiac and a '61 Chevy are pretty much the same car with cosmetic differences.

So, the moral of the story is, spend the money, get a good unit like this Friedrich and save yourself the frustration and aggravation of going round and round with having to ship back a defective unit after you've cut up the shipping box.

Always plug it in before you cut up the box!

When I could not find a room air conditioner that was manufactured in the USA, I chose the Friedrich, which was rated best by Consumer Reports. I installed the unit through the wall and the owners manual and installation instructions on line do not recommend framing the inside of the opening but I think that framing is essential and I framed it. The instructions also do not call for the removal of a flange on the top of the case but I believe it is necessary for through the wall installation. We have only used the unit sparingly since it was installed due to weather conditions but when we did, the performance and cooling capacity was excellent. There are several fan speed settings on the unit that are extremely hard to read on the remote due to the small size.

Cheap Watts Dormont 20C-S0314-60B Coated Gas Connector Kit, 60-Inch Length

Customer Ratings:

I bought a new dryer on Saturday, and picked up this kit on Sunday to do the installation. If you are installing a new appliance, you should buy this new connector kit every time, particularly since the newer kits meet new standards.

The installation went well, and this kit took a newcomer like me a half hour or so, but I needed to make sure I had a few extra things to do it properly. I needed two 7/8" wrenches to tighten the fittings. In my case, I used one 7/8" wrench, along with an adjustable wrench, so you can twist opposite ways on the piping. Two adjustable wrenches would work fine as well. I also needed gas pipe thread compound, or gas pipe tape; do not use the same Teflon tape you use for water systems, as this can flake off and plug your gas orifice. You can also buy gas leak test solution, but you don't absolutely need this; I used soapy water instead. Some kits include pipe compound and leak test solution, but this one did not, so I reduce my review by one star for that.

The instructions were excellent, and well worth following. It is possible to assemble this using fewer than two of the provided fittings, but the instructions indicated that exactly two should be used. They also showed that the fittings are threaded both inside and outside on one end, something that might not be obvious to people ignoring the instructions. The instructions provide several scenarios for different gas plumbing configurations, and this kit should work for almost anyone who is replacing an existing gas dryer.

This hose does the job connecting my gas dryer to the socket. Good length and hasn't failed me. Hope it never fails.

I LOVE this little heater. I live in St. Pete Florida and needed a space heater for the unseasonably cold weather that we had here. I live in a 650 sq. foot, poorly insulated, garage apartment, and this heater really saved the day when it was in the 20's and 30's outside. We ran only this heater and not our central heater, as the latter costs a fortune and does very little in the way of actual heating. The space heater was used mostly in one large room that comprises about 40% of our apartment, and also in the bedroom which is about 25%. In the bedroom with the door closed this sucker kept it quite warm, even on low (and the bedroom is like 15x13 feet). Granted it takes an hour or so to heat the whole room, but it worked great (so great that we had to shut it off in the middle of the night because we were sweating under our heavy comforter). In the large room, the heater did an admirable job and kept it bearable throughout the cold spell (and that large room has so many drafts it's like all of professional sports combined). Now, with the weather more temperate (40's and 50's) this little heater heats whatever room I'm in without a problem.

I love the high and low settings and the fact that the high setting draws only 1200W (as opposed to 1500W for most space heaters). The unit is quite small and no part of it is too hot to touch at any time. It is a breeze to move from room to room. This heater would be a good choice for anyone with children or pets, as it has a knockover shut-off. It is very quiet (though not silent as some have said). In a room with any ambient noise, you're not likely to hear the heater. In a quiet bedroom it sounds like (surprise) a small fan. There are some days when it sounds a little bit rough on startup, but this noise goes away within a minute or so.

My unit has held up great (I've had it for a few months now and ran it 24 hrs a day for weeks), but I am very careful not to knock it or use it in a humid area (like a bathroom). I could see this heater breaking if it is knocked over or hit against something while moving it between rooms. Also, I take care to hold the heater with one hand whenever I turn the on/off knob with the other hand, because the knob takes a good bit of torque to rotate. If I were to turn the knob without holding the heater I would be twisting the whole heater on its base which could potentially damage the oscillation feature. With proper care this heater seems like it will fare well.

For me, this heater was a great buy. It was relatively inexpensive, it is small and easy to store, and it puts out an admirable amount of heat for its size. I wouldn't rely on it to bring a large room up to a short sleeve and shorts temperature in the dead of winter, but it will definitely take the edge off the cold. In a closed room this heater will bring the temperature up nicely.

Amazon, as always, was a pleasure to deal with. Oddly, the manufacturer's packaging looked like it had been opened and re-taped, but the interior packaging appeared factory fresh. I guess it could have been opened and re-sealed, or the Sunpentown factory just tapes up their boxes sloppily. Either way, the heater is great, and I am quite pleased.

A little smaller than I had anticipated, this little heater does a nice job. I bought it for a basement tool room we have, which stays very cold in the winter. Turn this baby on and in ten minutes it's comfy in there. The amount of heat emanating from its small front doesn't seem like it will heat a room well, but it does. It's very quiet, you can't tell when it's on, whether it's set on oscillating or not. It oscillates about 90 degrees.

Having small children in the house, I like how you can touch it anywhere during its operation and not get burned. The automatic shut-off feature is also a good thing. There are two settings, low and high (600/1200 watts), and both seem to do the job well.

The heater worked well warmed up a 12 X 12 bedroom with a vaulted ceiling in a very short period of time. Good value ran quietly. Would recommend to anyone.

Honest reviews on Sunpentown SH-1507 Mini Tower Heater

After I read all positive and negative reviews, I decided to buy this product because as noted in many 5 star reviews, it could provide enough heat for a room. Well, the unit is functioning but its heating capacity is very poor. As long as you are within 1 meter diameter from the unit, you can feel the heat. Otherwise, it is a waste. I don't understand how people say it can provide enough heat for a 12X12 bedroom even with a vaulted ceiling! Are you kidding me?

There is contradictory information regarding the temperature control on this heater. I want to confirm that the unit does NOT have any built-in control for temperature. I verified this with the manufacturer. It generates heat as long as it's on setting "1" (600 watts) or "2" (1200 watts). I like the unit, it's pretty, it's quiet, and it heats my 14x14 home office so well (even at the lowest setting) that I unfortunately have to return it because I simply do not want to keep turning it on and off. Like another reviewer said, I wish they included a thermostat: that would be a winner.

Shabu Shabu Hot Pot, Electric Mongolian Hot Pot W/DIVIDER Review

Customer Ratings:

The hot pot was listed under a name of "Maruki" in January when I ordered it. I thought it was a different product from what I saw in some super markets. So I placed an order. It's was a big surprise to me when I received the item that has a brand name of "Ikeda". I called the seller and they said that they did not have time to edit the description. If I had known this is an Ideda product I would have bought it from 99 Ranch Market. They are now on sale for $34.99 (the original price was $39.99). However, the hot pot is excellent and the shipping was fast.

This Shabu Shabu Hot Pot makes for great family dinners and conversations with friends. Everyone loves sharing the hot pot, discovering floating delicacies. The only thing I regret with the purchase is not to have invested in the 2 compartment for the broth. With a single compartment we can only have one broth rather than the two we usually get at our local Asian restaurant. The two compartment version allow for a mild and a spicy broth instead of the average dull mix.

Once the food is prepared, there isn't much to do with the hot pot. Just plug it in, adjust the thermostat and wait a few minutes. Usually we set it up on high until it boils, then reduce quite a bit just to keep it warm. With a full load of broth, it takes about 12 minutes to boil before you can start enjoying your delicious meal. Cleaning is very easy as the top comes off.

Honest reviews on Shabu Shabu Hot Pot, Electric Mongolian Hot Pot W/DIVIDER

My husband and I added this to our Amazon registry and were thrilled to receive it for our wedding! We had fond memories of several dates out for shabu shabu at Japanese restaurants in Boston and even at home in Minneapolis. We had to throw a dinner party the weekend after it came in the mail to give it a whirl, and it was a big hit as expected! We loaded up on produce and raw meats from the Asian grocery, added broth to the water, and it was boiling within minutes. We had this whole thing set up on our outdoor table on a beautiful autumn night and we laughed, drank sake and cooked our soups long into the night. What a treat to be able to make this now at home and continue making memories with dear friends!

This is a great tabletop Hot Pot and makes serving Shabu Shabu or other hot pot meals easy but the shipping from this company leaves much to be desired. Although listed as "In Stock" it took them 3 business days to even send the pot to UPS and then they shipped it by ground (i.e. truck) across country so it took another week to arrive. Don't order from this company if you're in a hurry to get the item.

Whirlpool 279816 Thermostat Kit for Dryer Review

Whirlpool 279816 Thermostat Kit for Dryer as sold by Seneca River Trading.

1. I paid Seneca River Trading for expedited shipping and it went USPS Priority Mail from NY 13027 to TN 37923. It took 10 days for delivery but even UPS ground would have gotten it to my door in 3 days.

2. Seneca River Trading put the product in a padded USPS flat rate envelope instead of a USPS flat rate box plus some bubble wrap. The thermal cutoff had a bent prong and the thermostat had something that looks like a pop rivet that had busted. Both items appear to work OK but the packaging allowed minor damage and only luck prevented them from being damaged enough that I'd have to pursue another replacement part.

3. The screws in the kit don't thread into the holes on the dryer. Not a big deal as I had plenty of computer screws from PC builds lying around that did fit just fine. But for someone with less spare parts laying around this could have been an issue as the provided screws wouldn't turn more than once until the thread was in a bind and the thermostat was still wobbling around.

4. I've edited this review 3 times now. Amazon doesn't want me to link to the youtube video that gives instructions for modifying the wiring to use the new part since the old part is wired differently. Please note that the instructions provided with the kit are not clear. Google the part # and watch the video on youtube since I can't link to it from here. With the tools I had stripping the wires and crimping the new leads was a hassle I wouldn't wish on anyone with poor coordination or poor tools. If you are not the Do It Yourself type you'll want a friend to do the wiring work for you or you'll want to pay someone to do it. The orange wire barely had an inch of slack and a mistake replacing the end on that wire could complicate the repair.

On the whole I got the parts for about half price vs the closest appliance store that had the part in stock but I did without my dryer for two weeks and had to haul laundry to the laundromat during that time and spent more time than I'm happy to admit tracking the package and checking the mail every day.

Amazon Prime has me spoiled for things showing up in 1 or 2 days from time of order and USPS tracking and delivery speed on this were sub par.

I held onto this review until I caught up on my backlog of laundry and I'd given it a week or two to stop working. The dryer still works so I'll give this 3 stars. If it had arrived undamaged and in less than 5 days time like I expected I would have given 4 stars.

The high limit thermistor is not an oem equivalent as it indicates. The temp for the switch is lower than the OEM and will not function. Double check the temperature marked on your oem thermistor before installing this one. I found this out only after the repair man came out and discovered that it was the wrong part.

Honest reviews on Whirlpool 279816 Thermostat Kit for Dryer

This part works like a charm! The instructions seemed a little cryptic I felt I was going to break something, but then finally got it . . . it seems the dryer is designed to fit this part (has the outline and screw holes for it) but the original installed part sits at a different angle and is secured by a tab, not screws, adding to my confusion.

I had tested the thermal cutoff and ascertained that was the problem. The kit also includes a thermostat and all instructions (included, on Amazon and the Web) recommended replacing both. They were right! I did a test BEFORE replacing the thermostat and the dryer definitely ran too hot probably what caused the thermal fuse to blow in the first place!

I was very pleased with the delivery time it only took a couple of days, even via USPS. I am now a hero in my wife's eyes!

It's not worth saving some money on this, pay more and buy OEM parts. This part worked for a few loads of clothes, then not at all. I have a baby that I'm cloth diapering so I really need a dryer. Not so fun to have to go through this all again!
