Our oven element in the very old GE P7 oven broke and our local appliance shop no longer does repairs. I located this replacement part after doing some research and the price was much less than from other sources and it was easily replaced in about 5 minutes with only a screwdriver and turning off the power. It works perfectly.

I was a little apprehensive buying a replacement heating element and installing it myself, but it turned out to be quick and easy! I saved at least $100 doing this project myself! I am a middle-aged female who is somewhat handy, and this was an easy project for me.

Got this to fix a broken element in a hotpoint oven. Works great, but barely fit since it ended up being longer than my previous one. Make sure you measure your old element and don't go off the shape.

When our heating element went out on our GE oven I thought we were done for -until I found this replacement! It was easy to install and worked perfectly. We do need to remodel our entire kitchen but that won't happen for a while and I don't want to start buying appliances piecemeal. This was a life saver!

Just recieved the unit today. Installing the top bar on it was odd, and more difficult than it needed to be, the screws didn't seem to grip to the main unit. Otherwise installation was easy. When you look through the louvers you can see light through the back of the unit, which doesn't seem right to me. And you can see the styrofoam that lines the unit quite well both through the louvers and through the back. So thats where they saved some $$. With the styrofoam exposed like that I don't think I'd leave the unit in the window to brave a New York winter. It also doesn't appear to be airtight. It does get the room cool. The fan speeds are high, higher and blastoff. Not really a 'low' option, and its not quiet but I like white noise when I sleep anyway.

My next unit will have to have a remote though, and a digital temperature guage which this does not have. But that's for a richer time and a better economy. Until then, this one will work fine.

I chose this particular model because it did not have all the fancies. Who needs another remote?? I live in a cottage with large rooms and very high ceilings. I just put this unit in the window, and I am a 60 y.o woman with a bad back and yes, I put it in alone! Naturally, I am sweating because I JUST put it in the window. I am in the back of my house and I feel it already way back here! It has only been operating maybe 10 minutes. In the reviews from others, some said this unit is noisy. I hear it but would hardly call it noisy. This is an outstanding buy! I was a little worried about ordering an item like this online and once again Amazon came through like a champ. Item was delivered in 2 business days. I let it sit at the door for a week waiting for someone to put it in for me. Yesterday's 85 degree temp made me give it a shot. I am proud of me! I made a good purchase and installation was a snap! Thanks Amazon, love you much!

This is a great little air conditioner for the price. The only thing I wish it had is a thermostat to regulate the temperature. You must continually turn it on and off by hand to keep the room at the right temp. It does a great job though.

I originally wrote a good review for this. After a couple of weeks, I am writing another one.

It is noisy, the compressor sounds like someone fired a gun next door when it kicks in and it seems like it is always kicking in or out. I am going to return this one if possible, if not I will sell it to someone I don't like. The fan is noisier on low than my GE's from home depot are on high. If you like the price, and don't mind noise buy this one. It also does not have a remote, I should have read closer and the temp. control is touchy, hot, move it a little and freeze. Nothing good to say. I just ordered a sharp 8,000 for around $30 more and it has energy saver, timer and remote. I buy a LOT from Amazon and this is the second item I have not liked and both were my fault for being a cheapskate. Amazon is wonderful and anyone that has shopped on line knows that for sure. Not Amazons fault, but they will probably send me a label to ship it back and it won't cost me a dime. They are always within a buck or two if they don't beat the competition straight up and the free shipping is free both ways if you buy from Amazon. Love Amazon.

Next day comment.

I called Amazon and told them about the problems with this product and that it was past the time window for return. They said "no problem" and sent me a prepaid mailing label. I also asked if it was OK to wait until the new one I ordered last night got here and got the same answer. I checked and the new one I ordered last night is already shipped. Love Amazon.

UPDATE

Less than two weeks after returning the prepaid package I got confirmation today that my credit card has been credited with the total amount of my order. My new AC is working great and Amazon has come through again. This is still a lousy product, but that is the great thing about Amazon, if you make a mistake the make it better.

The only good thing is that the motor works. Does not fit well to the existing housing. Poor design on the screw holes, ie, can't screw it in because holes are too small. Could not line the scroll band and motor together. Spent a lot of time of trouble shooting. Finally used the string to tie them together so the motor frame can hang with the scroll band, not tight though. At least, I can use the working motor to vent for the bath now because I don't know where I can find a replacement parts for my old fan. :(

This is a universal piece and if your fan was like the Nu tone I had. The screw holes will be different and the shape of the motor will be also but the motor fits and works.

Avoid this low quality product. It is difficult to install with parts that BARELY fit and "pop" out of place. This all before you turn on the fan. Once you do and the motor does run so it earns one star prepare for a fan no more quiet than a 57 Chevy or a jet engine on take off. Every loose fitting part rattles and the whole assembly seems to rely on the decorative grille to hold it in place. Cant begin to say how disappointed.

Had two of these in three months. Uneven heat, although warm there was a four degree variation in temp. with wireless thermostat. Gas valve failed on both new units within a month of installation, the second two days before Christmas. Also there is no flame adjustment, when on it is on full tilt. The only reason it got one star is because there was none lower. Very unhappy with this product.

I researched extensively portable AC/heaters prior to buying this one. It has GREAT features & controls. The AC performs fantastically without worrying about water leakage, as you do with most portable AC units (in addition to reading many reviews from other owners, I know from experience). Dual hoses are the BEST for outstanding AC performance, not needed at all for heating (so, you just disconnect). I was gravely disappointed in the heater when it got cool enough to need one. When I called customer service, I discovered that the heat is provided by a small "heat strip" rather than a "heat pump" as displayed on the mfr's webpage. As I told customer service, "I can exhale warmer air than this unit puts out." Customer service is "wishy-washy" at best (dealing with Carlos); however, the supervisor/manager offered to exchange for a different model or refund my money. I am currently reviewing my options.

Two stars represent the poor heater performance when ads displayed 12K BTUs for both AC/heat not true. The stars also include the poor handling of my product claim by Carlos.

If you're looking for a great AC unit, I would highly recommend this unit. But don't count on the heater to perform at all. Other Midea models that have better heaters only use one exhaust hose. All one-hose models, regardless of brand, are not efficient & cause a "vacuum effect" rather than circulating air; thus, I would NOT recommend. Don't take my word for it, research the comparisons of 2-hose vs 1-hose models for yourself.

Sale Price: $34.48

Size: 13 1/2 x 20 1/2 inches. This isn't included in the description.

I bought this foot warmer a few years ago though I can't remember where or what the price was, but $58 (as of January 2012) is expensive when you can buy Indus-Tool FWXXX Cozy Electric Foot Warming Pad for $36.40.

It does warm nicely after a few minutes, almost too warm.

The mat has a 5 1/2-foot cord but no switch, so I had to plug/unplug it each time I used it; the outlet is behind a desk and not easy to access. To overcome this inconvenience I bought a cheap switch that I plugged into a short extension cord which is plugged into the outlet, and the foot warmer plugs into the switch. Now I have the switch within reach. Still, I have to remember to turn it off.

This is from the WARNING tag attached to the cord:

Do not cover mat with anything. Covering can cause a possible overheating condition and damage to flooring below.

Do not use if damaged.

Not to be used as a heat pad for animals.

Unplug when not in use.

Made in China.

Purchased the Bird-X foot warmer with some apprehension after reading some of the other reviews. My warmer arrived in just four days....almost instant

gratification. Plugged it in straight away. I did not have any problem whatsoever with the "new rubber smell". The unit takes about 10 minutes to heat

up fully....and it is heaven. We live in the mountains of Colorado so the temperature is often below zero. The unit can actually too hot after about a

half hour but that is perfect.... Luv That Foot Warmer!

Best Deals for Bird-X Electric Foot Warmer Mat

I found this in a free bin at a thrift store and the unit works so well at getting hot that it was melting the soles of my shoes! I am thinking of building a thermostat to or buying a dimmer switch to lower the maximum temperature that this thing can produce. I have found a lot of similar products that state the max temp to be 140 degrees F.

Honest reviews on Bird-X Electric Foot Warmer Mat

If this mat had at least two temperatures (the current temp plus a lower one) and didn't smell, I'd give it 5 stars and bring it back to my office.

I used this for two years in my office and it kept the entire underside of my desk warm. But I had to keep my shoes on (too hot for socked feet) and people often commented that my office smelled ... wrong. Running an air filter made the smell barely noticeable.

When I switched to a new fancy office, I switched to the Indus-Tool TT Toasty Toes Heated Footrest but it barely warms unless I have my shoes off and my feet right on the footrest.

I moved the Cozy Foot Warmer into the laundry room for the cats to sleep on where the smell wasn't noticeable but the mat was too hot for them.

I can't use a space heater in my office because it pulls too much electricity and is a fire hazard. Anyone got any other suggestions?

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Bird-X Electric Foot Warmer Mat

This foot warmer mat is pretty fantastic. Sure, there's room for improvement, but this thing has really helped me a lot, so it just wouldn't be fair to give it any less than 5 stars.

>> Safe For Diabetics, But Use Caution

My lower legs and feet often get very cold, and I also have limited sensation, so I have to be careful with any space heaters or mats I use. The great thing about this foot warmer, is the heat is gentle without being utterly useless. It's amazing how much warmer my entire body feels just by placing my feet on this mat.

>>Not Hot To The Touch

I leave it on for hours at a time, and it never overheats or gets too hot to touch; which is vital for me given the limited sensation on my lower legs.

>> Great With Or Without Slippers

I often keep my feet inside my slippers and then just place my feet on top of this mat while reading, playing with my tablet or just sitting and watching TV. We have hardwood floors, so they can get pretty cold in the winter, even here in sunny California. I've tried cranking the heat up in the house, but that does little to help cold lower extremities; it would literally have to be as hot as a sauna in here to start warming my feet!! And space heaters usually blow air, and even though it's heated, the draft really doesn't feel nice if I'm already cold. But this warming mat just emanates gentle warmth without creating any drafts, and I can keep the house's thermostat at our regular temperature, yet still warm up my feet.

>> Illuminated Power Button

This warming mat has a power switch on the cord that lights up when the mat is on. I like this feature because there's no mistaking when this mat is on or off. I doubt it would ever get hot enough to cause any problems, but I still like having the visual clue of a lighted button.

>> NO RUBBER SMELL

I hate it when you buy something made of rubber, or even just has a few rubber parts on it, and the whole thing stinks of rubber the second you pull it out of the box!! And it sure can't be healthy to breathe that industrial stuff in either. Thankfully, this mat does NOT smell like that. It doesn't smell like anything, which is exactly as it should be.

>> Buy A Variable Power Switch & Gain Full Temp Control

If this mat has a downside, it's that there's no variable heat settings; it's either On or it's Off. That's fine for most people, but I really wanted to have some control over the heat settings. So I got this Foot Control Dimmer and it works like a charm! It's actually marketed as a lamp dimmer, but it will work with most anything; like osculating fans, lamps or even this foot warming mat!! Just plug the dimmer control into the wall, then plug this foot warming mat into the dimmer's socket, and voila -you have a fully adjustable temperature control; from zero 100! The lighted switch on the foot warmer pad even gets brighter and dimmer as I adjust the dimmer control; so there's also a visual cue as to the heat intensity of my foot warming mat. Perfect!!

Bottom Line I really love my foot warming mat and it's been a real lifesaver for me. Cold feet is just miserable, and now, I have nice and toasty tootsies. Future models of this mat should include a variable temperature control, but I'm still very happy with it and consider it a 5 star improvement in my life! Love it!!

My wife loves a good cup of tea and in the past, we just left the kettle on very low heat on the stove. The other night I came home to the smell of gas. The breeze had blown out the flame and my wife, who had a really bad cold, was upstairs and could not smell the gas.

Time to get something a bit safer while we still had a house! After some research, we ordered this electric kettle (to the joy of my wife's British friends who think we are barbarians for not having one.)

I was astounded at how fast this thing heats water, maybe 5 minutes for a mostly full pot from tap-cold to full rolling boil.

The automatic shut-off works perfectly (and has a small light so you need not guess if it is off or on) and we no longer need to worry about errant gas fumes and whistling kettles.

The kettle is well-made, attractive and seems to be sturdy and definitely works a treat. Get one and you won't be disappointed. Needs a three-prong outlet, so make sure you can use it first. Sides do get hot but the handle stays properly cool and the safety lid works very nicely with no drops or leaks that I have seen.

Update, March 2012: About two years after the original purchase, the kettle died. We replaced it with the same model and that one has been going strong to this day. There's almost never a day it does not get used and other than cleaning it with vinegar once in a while to get the minerals out, it just keeps on chugging.

My wife even does hard boiled eggs in it using Alton Brown's method.

Good stuff, well made and at a fair price.

In replacing our stovetop kettle with an electric one, I was looking for one to match the stainless steel & black appliances in our kitchen, and this one is great. This heats water much faster than the stovetop or microwave, and is pretty quiet in the process; the sides get a little hot during the heating, but the bottom stays cool enough to move straight to the table (sans trivet!) I don't know if the "scale screen" included will help any, but otherwise I think this a great purchase!

Best Deals for Chef's Choice 677 Cordless Electric 1-3/4-Quart Teakettle

I'm from Australia (and have also lived in the UK) and consider an electric teakettle a basic staple in the kitchen.

Two major gripes:

1. If you look inside there are actually silicone(?) fasteners used that touch the water consequently any water you boil in this one smells and tastes like metal and plastic/rubber, even after you've brewed it into tea. Completely unacceptable. Baking soda doesn't help much.

2. The stainless steel finish is HOT to the touch. Scalding/burning hot. I can't believe this thing is actually a consumer approved product. There is NO insulation whatsoever, yet this is a counter top product. You might as well just use a pot on the stove. Imagine if your stainless steel toaster burned hot on the outside.

Three minor gripes:

1. The lid is not solid and seems like it would break in a fairly short lifespan of use.

2. You pretty much have to fill it by lifting up the lid. You can't use the spout for this, like you can with a lot of models.

3. This thing is heavy. Heavier than a pot you might use to boil the same amount of water. This adds to the risk of burns.

On the plus side:

1. It looks fine.

2. This does boil your water quickly... so if you like the sound of bubbling water and that's all, then I guess you could buy this.

Unhappy buyer this one's going back. I wouldn't want this if someone gave it to me, let alone pay for it.

Honest reviews on Chef's Choice 677 Cordless Electric 1-3/4-Quart Teakettle

I gladly agree with most of the reviewers on these pages--this is a nice kettle that boils water very quickly. I like how the switch works, and the little light that tells you it's on, and I figure that for 40 bucks I got my money's worth already. But I have a few gripes.

As some other reviewers noted, the metal outside of this kettle gets much too hot. Don't do what I did and count on its insulating qualities when the kettle is too close to a plastic bag left on the counter. And don't touch the thing!

Also, the little button that opens up the lid, it don't work so good, so to speak, and if I want to open the kettle I have to pull the lid open with my fingers. That's not good design, dear Chef's Choice people.

I probably bought the wrong kettle. What I really want, and what I'll look for next time, is a kettle that has a separate heating element, so that the actual kettle is just that, a kettle, with a wide top--so I can heat broth in it for risotto (and then be able to wash it) and boil eggs (this opening is too small). I should have looked around more, or perhaps spent more money. Don't get me wrong, I've been pretty pleased with this kettle: if you want a nice-looking appliance to heat water fast, this is it. If you want more, well, keep on looking.

Update (after three years of almost daily use): the other day, the kettle seemed not to turn itself off properly anymore, as if the switch wouldn't click all the way up anymore. I took off the bottom and jiggled the mechanism a little bit, and now it's working properly again. Still, I'm keeping my eye on it and don't fully trust the auto-off feature anymore.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Chef's Choice 677 Cordless Electric 1-3/4-Quart Teakettle

I would not recommend this teakettle because the plastic lid seemed to off-gas a noxious smell and taste when boiling water. The off-gassing only started to dissipate after many boilings. I followed the instructions and boiled and emptied the kettle once before using, but my family and I noticed a distinctly unpleasant taste in our tea which coincided with the chemical smell emanating from the kettle as it boiled the water. It was also quite noisy.

We are on a budget and wanted a fireplace insert for our custom fireplace surround that we were building. Our major concerns were price (of course), realism and depth of unit.

I unpacked it and fired it right up and was quite impressed with the effect, it is better than I thought it was going to be.

On the heating ability I would describe its heat output and noise level equivalent to a ceramic heater.

What we have here are extremely unrealistic expectations by reviewers. They are ignorant as to what they are buying. Here is what to expect look at the wattage. This unit and similar (cigarrete lighter ones) are about 180 watts. I use one of these in my car when I first turn it on to warm up my hands or face. This unit is ONLY 180 watts...it will not heat up anything other than a few inches in front of it. I use it when I get in my car on frozen Minnesota winter days to take the "sting" off the long walk to the frozen car. Once the car warms up I shut it off. People here reviewing are faily clueless so here is what you should expect..take a hair dryer...1200 watts. You should expect about 1/7 of the heat from a hair dryer. Watts is watts people!!! There is no magic conversionlook at the wattage of something you know a household plug-in heater is generally 1200 watts because its drawing 10amps at 120volts AC. Your car is only 12-14v dc. So even at say 15amps, enought to blow a 15amp fuse, a 15amp circuit like your cigarette lighter can only provide 180watts at 12 volts. If you need more heat look at the 300W model which is a direct wire from your car battery but don't expect miracles. These heaters will only augment and NEVER replace your car's heater. One day I was installing a stereo or something in my car on a winter day with a household heater (1200 watts) running inside the car and that still didnt provide enough heat to warm up the car. If its 70 degrees inside your car when using these heaters they can get very hot. If its ZERO degrees they will provide a little bit of warm air-just enough to warm your face or hands. Thats it. 180Watts. Like two 90watt light bulbs in your house. Light bulbs get really HOT when its 70 degrees in your house, but take the light outside to ZERO or 32 degrees and you'll see the light does not get that hot. Thats what we have. From an engineering standpoint it can raise the ambient air X amount of degrees regardless of the temp. So if it's 60 degrees in the car, maybe it has a 70 degree rise and throws out 130 degree air. But if its zero, then it still has a 70 degree rise so it spits out 70 degree air.

I was excited and happy for all of 10 minutes; then my lighter fuse blew out. Not sure if the heater would have gotten hot...but I won't know now until I can find my car owner's manual so that I can figure out which fuse needs to be replaced. On a good note, I got the item in a couple days!

In zero degree temps after about 15 minutes it will defrost a dinner plate sized view. after about a half hour it will defrost a good portion of one half the windshield. again its not a powerfull unit but you got a remember it's only a 200 watt reated unit. most hair dryers are rated for 1875watts so you can figure this little heater will only put out a tenth of the velocity one of those hair dryers will.

This is the most feeble thing I have ever seen! My breath has more heat in it than this heater. The only way it would be of any value to me is to cut the cord off and use the cord for some other project. I would not take another one if you gave it to me!

I got this heater at Walmart about two years ago as an exchange for another heater that was recalled. I rarely used it until a few weeks ago. Seemed to work ok, not the best heat output but ok. But when I went to unlug the cord, the plug was so hot it burned my hand. Reported it to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, but haven't heard back from anyone.

We bought three of these three years ago in an emergency when our main heater blew. The following winter, we tried to reuse them, and two out of three were broken. The one that did make it to the second year died soon after. I remember when things used to last more than 90 days. Avoid this product.

Bought this heater at Walmart....got home, plugged it in. Heater started blowing then sparked and died. Wouldn't recommend this heater to anyone and will not get another one.

We have two of these heaters. We use one in bedroom and one in our home office to knock the chill out of the rooms. We have used these for nearly 2 years with no problems.

It works great and is not very noisy. I also like that it will shut off if it is accidentally knocked over. When we bought these at our local WM store we paid about $20 each.

Bought this Patton utility heater for emergency use in a small camper. When pluged in it will not properly cycle. The unit will come on, the dial temp is reached and the unit turns off. When heat is again needed the unit may come on for a mili second, a second, two seconds and then turn right back off. It is as if it tries to start and turns right back off as soon as the fan and heating element begin to operate. Don't waste your money on this. I will not buy another!
