Holmes HCH4266WGL-U Twin Ceramic Heater with Manual Thermostat



Great Little Heater
We have oil heat and a very large older home so try to conserve running the furnace when you only need to warm up a few rooms. This heater is great for my livingroom - it's has 2 ceramic heater units built into it, quiet, heats the room up very quickly - would recommend it to anyone. Ceramic heaters use far less electricity than traditional heaters.

nice little space heater
We bought this ceramic heater to heat our Airstream TT as the propane heater heats great but is just too noisy. This heater is quiet, emits a suprising amount of heat, and you can adjust the temperature. All in all a very good value.

Excellent Economical Silent
This little power house is easy on the wallet, very powerful, heats up in an instant and silent: there is no noise. I am very pleased with the quality of this item and intend to stay with this because I have to pay high gas bills and I use it to heat the room instead of turning on the gas heat. Works like a charm and makes the room toasty and warm without taking a lot of money either! I highly recommend this. Not one complaint. Very extremely pleased.

Mr. Heater 85,000 BTU Propane Forced-Air Heater #F270085



perfect item
Great item worked perfect for what i needed for, gets heated fast. yes i would order this again if i needed to.

Use this heater in my shop, love it!
I needed a heater for my 30`x42` Workshop. In this shop, the ceiling is 16ft high at the center span and about 14ft high at the walls, so there is a large volume of air to heat.

The shop has 1.5" thick insulation before the steel siding. That's it. I also have sidelights that let the sunlight in. They run along the top edge of the 42' side so there is no insulation along those panels (about a foot tall x 42' long x 2 sides).

This is a great heater. You simply plug it into propane and an electrical outlet (it has a 3 prong 120VAC plug). There is no on-off switch so once its plugged in the fan and ignitor runs constantly, making a fan whooshing and then light buzzing sound. Turn on the gas at the tank, then push and hold the startup button - the propane begins to flow and it sounds more like a small jet engine (not unbearable or difficult to talk over from 10 feet away, but the wooshing sound changes to a deep throaty sound).

Low is the 50,000 or...

Cozy-Heater 600 Watt Electrical Wall Mounted Convective Heater



Great Value for price
I live in new york. I bought 3 of these heaters, easy to install and great quality, smooth finish.
Very safe to even around children as it runs on the principle of convection. 15 min to heat an average sized bedroom.

Works better than I expected
I got 3 of these one for each bedroom. Easy to set up. Wall mounted so does not take up floor space. Stylish looking. Heats the room well. I am able to turn the thermostat for central heating down. Another feature I like is no fan and no air blowing around. Great feature if you have allergies. Overall great buy for me. Already see lower heating bill. Highly recommend it.

Wow!
I have a wonderful enclosed porch that is 3 seasons. My real estate agent told me about this product and how adding it would increase my home's square footage by 200 sq ft, because the room would be a 4 season room. Not only does the product produce heat, is reasonably priced, it increased the resale value of my home by $30,000. That is what I call a huge Wow!

This is a loud heater thats does cut off periodically when it gets too hot; although I am still cold. It also blew the curcuit. I would not recommend purchasing and I will probably send it back.

This little heater is very nice and has a nice range of heat we love that it swivels also. No assembly yeah.

Dimplex Caprice Free Standing Electric Fireplace in Cherry



Wonderful fireplace
I am SO happy with my Dimplex mantle and fireplace. It works perfectly and looks gorgeous in my room. The finish is darker than I would expect from "cherry," but the pictures do show it as being dark.
I check out gas fireplaces now and think my Dimplex has a prettier "fire"
There is a soft motor noise when I use the heater, but it's not bad. Choosing whether or not to have the heat is a great feature. Also there is a slight "new appliance" odor when I use the heat. I expect that to go away. I definitely would recommend this product.

Fire it up
Bought for my parents , who absolutely love it. It adds depth to whatever room you place it in. The fire looks realistic and it also provides heat. My folks are giddy!!!!

Very nice fireplace
I've had this fireplace for about 3 years now and couldn't be more pleased with it. It looks great in my living room. The remote that comes with it works wonderfully, you don't even have to aim it at the fireplace to turn it on or off. This fireplace heats well too. I wouldn't recommend it as your only source of heat of course, but for those chilly nights you can turn it on and feel a noticeable difference in the room temperature within a couple minutes. The flames also look very realistic! I constantly get compliments on this fireplace, I'd highly suggest it.

Deluxe Portable Electric Heater 1200/1500 Watts



Big Heat heater
I read a review of the Big Heat heater in a local newspaper. The person writing the column was a "handy man". He highly recommended the heater. I purchased the heater in November, 2010. I have used the heater almost everyday since I received it. I am very pleased with the performance of the heater. There are two settings, plus you can adjust the heat within each setting. The room I heat is approximately 10'x 11'. I would recommend the Big Heat heater if you need a small (5"x6") space heater.

Best small heater
This is the second "Big Heat" We have purchased. The first is over 10 yeas old and both are used daily in cold weather. We would recommend this unit to anyone.

BioSmart 1500PB 4 Element CZ Infrared Classic



Fan and customer service don't work
I ordered this 12/30/2011 and paid $250 for it. It worked for a few months--not heavy use, we had a warm winter so perhaps five days a week, 3 hours a day.

The fan motor burned out. I'm fairly confident, although not certain, that the company knew it had a fan motor problem with its heaters at the time they sold it to me.

Anyway, when we got in touch with the company, they told us that the fan motor was defective and offered us two options. One, they send us the part for about $15 including shipping or I send them the heater and pay them $49. They described the fan motor replacement as simple. It is not simple. I couldn't figure it out, even by talking their customer service person on the phone. Its motor, housing etc. is designed to be replaced by a service technician and has a warning on the exterior that taking the back off will invalidate the warranty.

So this week, we'll send the unit back, and pay the $49, but before you order a Biosmart heater,...

Black & Decker BDHF300 Heater Fan



Black and Decker vs. Vornado
I own two heaters: a Vornado and the Black and Decker. Both of these heaters are wonderful and I would recommend either equally. First, the safety features on both are outstanding. Neither are similar to the heaters we grew up with which were made of metal and glowed like charcoal. These both produce very good heat, quickly, and are nice to have if you do not wish to heat your entire home. The Black and Decker does have many safety features which is nice. Both have their pluses and I truly can't think of minuses for either. Order both!

Pretty Good Heater
The Black and Decker heater is a pretty good heater at a value price. It's got several different settings depending on the size of the room you want to heat and puts out a lot of heat in a limited area. One nice feature is the temperature indicator. It's also got a Frost Watch setting which will automatically turn the heater on if the temperature drops below 40 degrees. It also has very nice safety features. Including a switch under the heater that is pressed when the heater is sitting upright. If it should tip over, the switch is deactivated and the heater automatically shuts off.
It's a very nice little heater.

Best space heater ever made...
I have owned this little workhorse for 7 years. It is safe with grandkids and pets, reliable as the sun, and very effective heating for a small to medium-sized area. Mine is finally giving up the ghost after all these years, and I plan on replacing it with another one just like it.

Surround Space Heater



Heats well, but knobs don't last
I've had this heater for about a year, and it does a very good job of heating up the bathroom. However, one of the two knobs has broken. This has made it unusable unless I want to use a pair of pliars. I've called Kaz, and they will replace the whole thing once I ship it back to them. I'd rather not pay all that shipping just for a knob, but it's probably cheaper than buying a new one.

Holmes HCH4166 Ceramic Heater with Comfort Control Thermostat



A safe, quiet workhorse. But not the best.
Here's why.

1. It's a ceramic heater, supposedly the safest kind. Except for the meshed front, the unit's body has no hot parts.

2. At least four feet in length, the power chord is reasonably long.

3. The instructions provided are short, simple, and easily understood.

4. I use the unit in a 12'x15' room. It doesn't heat-up the entire room. I have to sit very close to the heater to feel it's powerful and focused heat blow. The lost stars in the rating.

5. There's only a soft whirring sound when it's working to reach up to the desired heat-setting. That's rather quiet.

6. I once deliberately had it on for eight straight hours. On "1500 Watts" and the maximum on the thermostat dial.

Other notes: A compact unit, it weighs little. There's a light that tells if the unit is plugged in. And another light to tell if the desired heat-setting has been reached. The unit's thermostat dial doesn't give a numerical temperature reading.

Regarding the previous review: It's not a design...

Efficient, Reliable
I purchased two of these space heaters to heat my apartment. Immediately after signing my lease I discovered that very few things worked in the apartment. The insulation is terrible, and gauging by the failure of the stove and water heater I don't trust the shoddy looking baseboard heaters. The Holmes units heat the place great. Further when I received my electric bill for November it was only thirty some dollars which was really surprising. It cost me a hundred-some to keep the place cool in the summer. Would get 5 of 5 if not for the "estimation type" thermostat dial on top. I ended up using a marker to put small ticks on it so I could set it easily.

Holmes Twin Ceramic Heater
I bought a boxed set of two of these over 7 years ago. They are great! Given time; they can heat a small room quite well. I originally bought them because my mother kept the entire house much too warm. I was able to turn the thermostat WAY down and heat her den to her comfort level. I now use one in my office and one in the master bath. I do not find that they increase my electricity bill too much either.

Seasons Comfort EUH422, Multi-Purpose Heater with Stand, Black and Grey



Piece of JUNK
My husband and I ordered three different brand heaters to use in our motor home so we would not have to winterize the motor home. Of the three, the Season's Comfort EUH422 is by far the most inferior. It puts off little heat and is very LOUD. Thank goodness we planned to put this one in the outside bay as you could not stand the noise inside. My husband NEVER returns a product even when he is not happy with it. This one he really should. We are not negative people and we do not write reviews (this is the first one) but we do read them when we are buying something . I would like to have been warned and you should be. That is the only reason I am writing this review. The other two heaters we bought we are totally satisfied with but this Season's Comfort EUH422 is junk. We would NEVER buy this product again. I would advise you not to buy this heater either.

Advance Tech Infrared - Ati - Ati-Hp-Xp Heat Pure 1500



Horrible product
I purchased the ATI Heat Pure Elite 1 month ago. Two weeks after using it, it just cut off and wouldn't turn back on even after days of sitting. I called the company and they said it sounded like the thermostat in the unit was defective. They offered me a refund or an exchange. I exchanged it because it was great when it worked. After 1.5 weeks of having my new one, it did the same thing--thermostat issue. This time, I requested a refund (all of this was within the 30 day money back guarantee period). They sent me an email with refund instructions but expect me to pay to ship it back. This thing weighs 40lbs. So shipping is at least $30. I would understand that I should pay for shipping if I was returning it because I didn't like it, but I was returning it because it was DEFECTIVE. I called the company again and discussed this with a salesperson. She gave me "company policy" babble and said there was nothing she could do to avoid the return shipping issue.

175,000 BTU Kerosene Forced Air Heater with Thermostat



Great heater but eats fuel quickly
I purchased this product as an upgrade from the 70,000 BTU unit and has worked great for what i use it for. Thermostat regulates the temperature well. One thing I did want to point out is the fuel tank, which holds 13 gallons. I purchased 5 gallons of K1 Kerosene from a local store which cost me $38.00 and only brought the tank up to just over a third full. Heater burned through the the 5 gallons between 4-5 hours of use so something to think about. I'll probably consider burning diesel as an alternative. Overall a great heater but note the fuel consumption and the large space you will need to use this.

Nice and toasty with a potential problem
I purchased this brand new, assembled it, and fired it up in twenty minutes. I've owned torpedo heaters without the thermostat but since this model has one, it can turn on and off to maintain the desired ambient temperature. On about the fifth start up, I heard the ignition kick on but also heard the sound of a dying motor. The fan motor had seized. I tried troubleshooting it through the manual but this kind of problem wasn't listed. So, I took this matter into my own hands. I opened the top shell and tried to spin the fan. It was very resistant but after a few turns it eventually spun free. I fired it back up and it worked for a little bit and then repeated the incident. I dug deeper: removing the air filter and air filter housing. After removing the housing, the fan would spin free again. Turns out the rotor which pumps the air is slightly too wide for the housing. If you seen the rotors, they're made of graphite (just like the graphite used in mechanical pencils but instead of a...

CADET MANUFACTURING CO 03365 Built-in Baseboard Thermostat



Be Careful When Wiring
This is a standard thermostat for Cadet baseboard electric heaters. It is easy to install. However, the thermostat mechanism on the inside of the unit is very fragile and susceptible to being bent during installation. This is especially true when wiring for 240V using 10/2 with ground wire.

Make sure your supply wires and wire nuts are well out of the way when you mount this thermostat. If you have to push the thermostat into the enclosure to mount it, you will likely bend or distort its temperature sensing mechanism.

If you also want to make a junction in this heater (six #10 wires) for supplying electricity to another baseboard unit, forget it. There will be too many large wires, and they will very likely damage the thermostat. Make the 240V junction in a separate box before you feed the baseboard heater. Then take your supply off the junction box and wire the next heater.

BioSmart 1500PA 4 Element Breathe Easy Infrared Heater - 2013 Platinum Model



infrared heater-air-purifier combo - works perfect
My experience has been different from the other reviewers.
I have already bought some of these in the older model and absolutely love them. Have saved me lots on heating bills,
I rarely ever have to use my furnace. Plus, I've grown to love the feel of infrared heat. It's definitely got a different feel to it.
The CZ Infrared and it's newer generation, the BioSmart, are still among the better ones on the market in my experience.
The main company's website is also the most comprehensive and not just a one-pager selling a generic re-branded IR heater with no company info.

Reason I bought this one is because it also has the all year round air-purifier where I can turn off the heater part and just
run it as a stand-alone air purifier. So it has functionality even in the summer. I have lots of pets, so really wanted that feature.
This one puts out even more heat than the older models I have, which, by the way, are still going strong and I still love...

Almost Burned My House Down!!!
*** WARNING *** Plug almost burned my house down! It was working great for quite a while then about a week ago I kept smelling something when I would turn it on. I couldn't figure out what the smell was and I tried to locate the smell with no luck. Then last night I plugged it in and could smell it again and again I looked around and smelled around the heater. I finally decided it must be a little bit of dog hair burning off inside of the heater since I have dogs and they will walk by the heater, etc. and their hair gets into everything.

I later went to unplug the unit before bed and got a good shock as I unplugged it and the socket was BLACK!!!!! The cord was literally melted where it goes into the wall! I'm literally sick to my stomach thinking about what could have happened had I forgotten to unplug the unit for the night! The whole idea of these units is that they are supposed to be safe and not a fire hazard like the cheap space heaters you buy at the big box...

Awful customer service
One star is still too many. When your heater breaks down - and it probably will - you will not be able to reach customer service/tech support. They do not call back or answer email questions. You will end up with a heater broken and useless. You may get a season out of your heater.

Williams 487412 Top Vent Wall Furnace 25,000 BTU-Hr Natural Gas Gravity Vent



Buyer beware
I just received my Williams top-vent gravity wall furnace. Unfortunately what you're not made aware of when you purchase this product from Amazon are the 'optional' parts required to install. If you're going to surface mount you need the 'free standing accessory', and if you're going to vent it out you're going to need the 'Oval B/W vent kit'. I can work around the other accessories, including the 'free standing', but as of yet have been unable to find a fitting to adapt to the vent on top of furnace. Project is on hold until I can find one.
Update: Found the 'Oval B/W vent kit on line from another company. Price-$150.00. This doesn't take you through the roof. For that you'll have to supply 4"round B vent, roof flashing, storm collar and vent cap. There is also gas and combustion air to consider. I only mention this to remind you that the cost of this project isn't as inexpensive as it may seem.

Looking for something better... Not child-friendly
This is installed in our new apt and while it looks ok with the decor, the unit itself seems prone to knocking when it comes on/ goes off [unfortunately, the repairman stated this is common for an older home when the heat expands, affecting the coils]. The biggest reason for my dislike: it's a safety hazard for our small child (it can get very hot when running during the winter months and little "curious" fingers attracted to the pilot light on the bottom can easily fit through the cover-- a big no no when you have a crawling child). Looking for something better, but until then... this will have to do.

Stonegate QC111 Electric Fireplace



Heats my basement just fine
I love this heater, in that it heats the finished section of my basement (approximately 550 square feet) very easily. Better yet, my electric bill doesn't go up much at all. I keep it on the regular setting (even without adjusting the thermostat down) and it will make my basement warm and cozy WITHOUT a big jump in cost. This is comforting to know, because I can virtually run the unit all day without cost concerns. I recommend this electric stove for those who have a medium-sized room to heat, and for those who love a nice accent (log & flames) as well.

PATTON Utility Heater,adjustable Thermostst,overheat Protection



Get's hot, but offers little control.
I do like the heat that these little guys put out, but the controls leave a lot to be desired.

This thing has two settings: hot & sweltering hot. It has a dial control and it is supposed to find a temperatur setting that it will maintain by automatically turning on and off -- but the 10:00 position never comes on, and the 1:00 position never shuts off.

I assumed that the other switch is an on/off switch, but it is actually low-heat/high-heat. I feel little difference between the two, and feel that the thermostat dial give plenty of control.

Not having an on/off switch means you can only truly turn the unit off by unplugging it. I use this in my office at work, which means two things -- I definitely want to shut it off at night, and it is not easy to constantly plug and unplug. I have had to add an otherwise unneeded power strip just to have the ability to cut power via a switch.

This switch would make it a strong 4 out of 5 stars.

Heater is an oxymoron.
This heater is useless. We had it for 2 days and thankfully were able to return it. My 600W power supply on my computer gives off more heat than this. I know the heater is only a 100W heater. It does not significantly warm the air past about 4 to 6 inches from the device. I could be a reasonable foot warmer, but then again why pay this much for a foot warmer? It does get hot in the center, but the edges are cool to the touch. Which shows you just how little heat it is actually producing. The concept was good. The implementation and actual heat produced were unacceptable.

Optimus H-3011 Portable Utility Heater with Thermostat



Small and Efficient
The outdoor temps have been in the low 40's this October 2009 and although there is good insulation in the actic the house gets chilly. I like warm and toasty. But, I live alone so heating the whole 1400 sq ft house to room temp doesn't make financial sense. This small, light weight and rather cute heater warms my 10 ft by 10 ft home art studio (formerly a bedroom) nicely to a comfy 72 degrees while the rest of the house stays around 67 degrees. The studio door is always open to the hall and even the hall stays around 70 degrees. I let it run on the low setting (700 watts) for 2 or 3 hours and then turn it off for 2 or 3 hours till things feel chilly again. BUT be careful that it does not tip over. I accidently kicked it over on its face the other night and realized that it does not have a tip-over safety shut off feature. My previous small heater did but it also consumed twice the electricity. So far, I'm OK with the missing safety feature since I turn it off when I leave the...

Heats 800 Sq Ft turned up only half way to 60 degrees!
This heater is dynamite! it heats my 800 sq ft shop, no problem. If i turn it up 3/4 of the way, it will be 75 degrees! Does a great job, runs fairly quite. I even use my shop for an office, and can talk on the phone with out a problem while it runs. electric bill is up only 100 and that is keeping my shop at 55 degrees when i not out there and at least 70 to 75 when i am, and that is alot. Worth the money! I did tape up drafty spots in the shop and put insulation in the attic. FYI

Beefy Little Unit
I plan to insulate/drywall my unfinished garage next spring. Currently it's about 40% insulated, and a thick vapor barrier is attached to the ceiling joists. The space measures 20' X 19', with a 10' ceiling.

Amazon shipped the unit in no time flat. Was immediately impressed by the no-nonsense construction of this thing. Heavy gauge steel throughout, 3 large sealed heating elements with hundreds of fins brazed to the elements. Large 5-bladed fan with a huge drive motor. Not to mention the weight - at 36 pounds, this is no milkhouse heater.

Installation was pretty simple. I had already installed the wall bracket and roughed in the electric service. Took about 40 minutes from unpacking to fully operational.

Energized the service breakers and fired it up. This unit pushes an awful lot of air, yet the blower is surprisingly quiet. No, it's not whisper-silent, but fan noise is quite tolerable. Another thing that struck me is the complete lack of any...

Manufacturing or handling carelessness
I removed the packaging very carefully. WhenI removed the louver containment frame to rotate it as per the instructions I found the lower right corner of the lourver frame was bent out. Also there was a damaged mark at the front top, center of the main body of the heater.
I was VERY CAREFUL in my handling of this unit! I did not cause the damage! I willattempt to straighten the louver frame and try to touch up the paint on the cabinet.

Dimplex CFP3652C 20"Cherry Electric Fireplace looks awesome. The flame is way to dark and there is no controls to make it brighter. The heat it puts out is ok for a small space. Thats all it really is, is a space heater in a fireplace cabinet. The other problem with the Fireplace is it is noisy and can get on ones nerves. The motor in the back makes all kinds of noise after about the 2nd week of use. For the price i paid for this i could have gotten a pellet stove and been much happier. It cost about $40 a mouth to run and that is not savings when you can get a pellet stove for around the same price and save a ton of money and have a real fire place at the same time. Again its nice just priced way to high.

Intially, this heater worked great--we liked the black color as it matched the aesthetic of the room we had it heating. However, after a couple of weeks, the knob stopped working (as others have mentioned) and we had it replaced. The second one's knob stopped working after a couple of weeks as well, so that one was taken back, too. Finally, thinking it could not possibly happen a third time--we exchanged the second one for a third one, and after about 2 months this time, it too, bit the dust (I guess the joke was on us). I would not even come close to recommending this heater--unless you like faulty knobs.

Fire Hazzard
We bought this product at the end of last season, so it didn't get much use until this winter. The last couple of days it started to give off a burning odor-- which was actually the control knobs melting on the top. It is a dangerous piece of garbage.

What a piece of junk....
Heater worked great for about 2 weeks. But then the OFF/LOW/HIGH switch melted and turned it into a piece of junk. Seems to be a common problem with Holmes products. I would not recommend this product.

Classic Flame Equinox 18MM3207-M250 MANTEL ONLY



Nice Piece of Furniture
I ordered this from another source knowing that it did not come with the actual fireplace insert. Then I ordered the 18EF023GRA insert from Amazon (instead of the insert listed in Amazon's description) which worked great in this and is definitely a step up from the one listed to get and even at a lower price! I was very impressed with the quality of this stand and how sturdy it was. This is a substantial piece of furniture that looks great and will do the job nicely. The fireplace just really sets it off into something special. Just take your time assembling it from the nicely packed box using the very clear instructions, and I think you will also be pleased with the end result.

Mr. Heater MH125KT Forced Air Kerosene Heater



Very happy with Heater
Very good experience. Ordered this heater on 2/13/07 at night and UPS had it at my house on 2/15/07 in the morning. Works great. I did see it listed somewhere else for a few dollars less but that place didn't have any. This was my first purchase from Amazon and I was a little leary but it worked out great.

Mr. Heater MH125KT
I use this heater to heat a 1500 shop. It works well, was easy to assemble and is not too loud. The electric ignition and thermostat shut off are great features.

Mr. Heater MH125KT
Have owned this item for over 4 years. Just recently had the ignition module fail (ignition coil), so I replaced the module & while I was in there, replaced the hoses (which were all cracked/split & ready to leak at any moment),the igniter electrode & the air gauge, which was broken the day I received the unit. No surprise, as all parts stamped "made in China". But the unit works great after you play around with the air nozzle adjustment screw to get a good burn, but not so good as to trip the overheat switch, which shuts the unit off until you walk over there & press the reset button -- a PITA if your in the middle of a time-sensitive job. Once that was worked out, you'll only need to fine tune it for extreme cold (thicker air). Not worth the $300 I paid in March 2004.

FYI: Unit will NOT run on DIESEL -- KEROSENE ONLY. Been there, done that! Diesel is too thick & slows the motor down gradually until it eventually stops (if you let it run that long, you'll probably...

Homebasix FH03 Compact Heater Fan 750/1500-Watt



Great for first year
We've used this space heater for a little over a year to heat our girls' bedroom at night. I was really pleased with it the first year, but noticed recently that it never seemed to switch off, even though we would put it at the same temperature setting as we always had. So I tested it in my office during the day, so I could be sure to notice if it ever switch off. I ran it for about 5 hours in my office, and even though the office became quite warm, the heater never kicked off.

It still works well as far as putting out heat and everything, but I would not have purchased it originally if it didn't have a thermostat, which now doesn't seem to be working.

Dayton 3VU34 Electric Heater With FingerProof Steel Intake



fried in 2 years
Used for 2 years in garage during winter months and it burnt out the motor in the beginning of the third year. Besides being very noisy it didn't heat all that well without being turned on all the time so the electric bill went way up.

Dayton Heater
Love this product. It does the job. It really heats a room. The only drawback is you need a lot of power to make certain it doesn't flow a fuse.

Best I could find
I have looked at all of these electric fireplaces and I decided on this one because I thought it was the best out there. I was right.

Dimplex #EUAF2 Summer Fan Switch



Should be built-in
I have a Dimplex 7.5KW garage heater, and this switch lets you bypass the heating elements so that you can use the heater as a fan in the warm weather.

The heater had cutouts and mounting space available for the unit, so installation only took a few minutes. It wires right in following the schematic on the underside of the heater...all in all, a neat looking installation.

Only complaint is that it seems to me this should be a standard built-in part of the heater, not something that you have to pay extra for. Otherwise, it does the job and transforms your garage/workshop heater into something usable year-round.

Fan-Forced Heater with Adjustable Thermostat, #WHF82T



Too Bad It Died!
I liked my little Windchaser a lot.
It was a tad on the noisy side... but compact and very toasty.
It made my entire downstairs room warm and welcoming from its home beneath my desk.
But now it has up and died after one year of use.
I'll miss it.
Will I buy another one?
Not sure. It was warm and comforting during our time together.
But I'm looking for a longer term relationship.

Double Hung Window Solar Air Heater Panel - 32"x18"



Had to modify product to fit window
I was not satisfied with this product. It was supposed to be 30" wide but was actually 3/8" longer than what it was suppose to be. I had to modify the product to make it fit the window frame. I was not impressed with its construction. It does not produce a whole heck of alot of heat. The majority of construction is just sheet metal with a thermostat, on/off and auto switch. It has a 120v tranformer that plugs into the side of the unit to power the dc blower motor. For the quality of construction and the amount of heat this unit gives off, is overpriced. In my opinion the unit is to small to heat much of anything. Amazon said this product was in stock and in fact is not made until you place an order. Expect a minimum of 2+ weeks for delivery. Rather than put one of these units in your window,you would probably get more heat by just letting the sunshine in through the window.

Not what it's cracked up to be!
I purchased this product thinking I was going "solar". In the description of the item it never mentioned that you have to plug this item in for the fan to run. Even when I had it in my window, with the fan plugged in and running, it only blew out cold air. I was very disappointed with this product, and would only suggest not to waste your money on it.

did not receive it
never received my solar heater. should have been here on september
24. us heating said they sent it fed-ex. The tracking number us heating gave does not excist according to fed-ex. MY WINDOW SOLAR HEATER DID NOT GET HERE AT ALL.
IT finally got here. It does not obsorb enough heat to turn on. When i turn it on manualy it blows cold air. Very poorly desinged. You will get more heat letting the sun shine though the window. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCE. IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY. AMAZON SHOULD STOP SELLING THIS PRODUCT.

Dimplex #DFI2309 Electric Fire Place Insert



Dimplex Ele F/P Insert
I was pleased with the realism of the flame function, but somewhat disappointed with the amount of heat it generates. I have a Dimplex stove-type as well and it outperforms the insert. Someone wanting the ambiance of a fire in the hearth, might consider how the Dimplex Stove would look in the firebox instead of the insert if heat is a primary consideration.

It's a Dimplex DF12309 mis-labled.
Almost false advertising, certainly a mistake by Amazon. This is a Dimplex DG12309. When the shipping is added in it just ends up costing more.

Holmes HFH4717-UM Family Safe Heater



Relialble, good value
I've been using these for two seasons now since my purchase. I have one in the bedroom, one in the living room, one in the sunroom. They help cut my heating bills by just keeping the room warm that I'm in. They work well, and the four hour timer comes in handy when I forget to turn one of them off. Good Value.

World Marketing PW-33 Kerosene Heater Replacement Wick



What I was looking for
I took a chance that this would fit my 30 year old heater. Work's fine, fast shipping. I was a little dissapointed that it did not come with an installation wrench, more of a problem with getting the old one out than inserting the new. A little WD40 was a big help.
