Good product, nice quality however I did buy some clear versions of these lights at the same time I got these colored ones. The clear have failed on me. I have to sit and play with them, see if I can get them working again. Annoying that i have to spend my time fixing them in the first place. But nice quality construction I will say.

This is a good product as long as you understand what you're getting. It is typical of many low-end, mass produced modular furniture peices on the market. All wood pieces are "veneer" over partical board. The pieces are assembled with manufactured hardware (metal dowels and metal locking nuts that you insert into predrilled holes on each wood peice). The hardware is specifically designed for the unit so don't lose any! There are about 30 or so wood peices and at least 100 differene peices of hardware. It's best to spread it all out prior to construction.

The instructions are a small printed, so some care is needed in making sure you're working on the right peice during each step. And it it can be hard to tell which side you're supposed to be instering the hardware on some peices. No worries though, the hardware removes easy enough when you make a mistake.

Overall assembly took about an hour with the help of another adult.

The finished product looks very nice, and the shipping process resulted in only a few minor blemishes which is really good considering we live on an island in Alaska and it came through UPS, which means it got transfered from manufacturer, to truck to jet, to float plane and then to ATV BEFORE it reached our post office... Good packaging, which definately took some abuse in shipping.

The unit is smaller than I expected but has a surprising amount of space. The corner design also fits tightly into the corner, which makes it look even smaller. Which could be a really good thing for a small house or apartment. And still it provides great storage for components. It fits our 42" Panasonic Flat screen with a few inches to spare. Has room for a PS3, a home theater receiver, DVD and VCR and the kids Wii. However, media storage is limited so you might find yourself looking for a media shelf or cabinet in which to store all your movies/games.

In summary, this is well worth the $229 we paid. (which included free super saver shipping! My best Amazon deal EVER!)

I absolutely LOVE this entertainment stand. It is perfect for my 42'' television. If you are looking for a corner tv stand this is the one for you. It has a lot of space to keep your surround sound, cable receivers, picture frames, dvd's. Even has enough storage for my Wii and Wii Fit board! Stand is extremely sturdy. Not hard to put together. The first time it was shipped it got damaged, amazon immediately shipped me a replacement. I am very satisfied with my purchase and quality of this product. Amazon had the cheapest price for this product as well. I found it on other webpages for over $100 more! Do yourself a favor and order this product from amazon.com.

I spent quite a bit of time looking around for a corner TV stand that had some sort of shelf above the TV. I settle upon this one because of the price point, the look, and the reviews I had seen. First of all, the product shipped very securely. I didn't have any problems at all with chipped or broken pieces. Everything looked great right out of the box. I found the construction quality to be really pretty good for this type of product. It seems very stable. My biggest complaint about the product is the assembly instructions. In similar assemblies in the past, each step has its own page to help illustrate the correct assembly. Not so in this case. Often times there were three or four steps per page. With the diagrams being so small, I found it taking lots of extra time to put this together. To be fair, this is an annoyance during assembly, but doesn't impact the quality of the end product. All in all, both my wife and I are very pleased with the look and quality of this entertainment center and would recommend it to anyone.

Bought this for my new 42" plasma tv. TV fits perfectly with a little room.

Fits nicley in the corner and takes up less space then my old boxing entertainment center

The color of the wood is darker than I thought from viewing the pictures online, but it still looks great

Easy to put together, just like putting together Ikea furniture

Enough shelving to hold my DVD, Wii, Wii Fit board, CD player, Amp/Receiver. Could hold more on the bottom if you have thinner items and take out one of the bottome shelves.

The holes in the backboard to feed your wires through are small. Would have liked 1 or 2 extra holes. Hard to fit all of the wires through, including the cable tv wires, etc... You may want to drill a second hole in the back panel especially for the top shelf depending on what you put there.

Shipping was free. Two of the pieces had minor scratches on them. Could have used them as is since you wouldn't really see the scratches, but called South Shore and they Fed Exed for free replacement pieces. Very nice.

I picked this out for my mom because she just bought a new 42" LCD flat screen TV. I put it together by myself (with a little help from my mom). There were a lot of pieces but everything was labeled so it was well organized. We chose to put this flat against her wall (not in the corner) and it worked perfectly! It looks very nice in her living room and there are a lot of shelves. She has her DVD player, VCR, DVR, Nintendo 64, Stereo and two speakers (on top) and there was still room for her to add a few of her statues! We just bought a 42" flat screen and now I am ordering another one of these for our house!

I bought this for my husband for christmas because he loves popcorn and we were working on setting up a tv/movie room in our new house. Best gift I ever bought! It looks great in the movie room and we use it all the time. I got the black one becuase the other colors seems too bright and didn't go with my decor at all. I like this better than the traditional red and yellow ones that you see every where. Also, other ones that I looked at were cheap looking. This one is really nice. Makes the great addition to any home. Especially for popcorm lovers or movie lovers! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a real vintage popcorm maker. Well worth the money!!

Received this today and put it together, and just fired it up. As another reviewer observed, all parts present, unit well packed and undamaged. All the holes lined up well, and the bolts all fit well where they were supposed to.

It is easy to light, and seems to put out a respectable amount of heat. It is tall enough to be safe from hair lighting, yet not so tall that the heat is far from where it is needed. It is quiet, and the entire burner seems to light evenly with a nice blue flame. Most important, it seems safe to me. Reasonable build quality, a couple of safety features common to things propane, etc.

I am taking one star away for poor instructions. The print and pictures are very small and poorly labeled, and aside from using one's logic and experience (which isn't hard for this particular assembly), the instructions on which sized bolts to use where is virtually non-existent.

Still, happy with the purchase so far... It is what we needed at less than I thought I'd have to pay. And 2 day shipping was free with Amazon Prime.

Like other reviewers I found the directions to be bad even for the breed of low cost, low-price point, Chinese made products. That said, it is not rocket science and not terribly difficult to assemble. I had mine together in less than an hour working at half-speed and it contained all the parts, was packaged well and arrived undamaged. The metal body and wheels seem to be of reasonable quality while the top/heat reflector is beyond flimsy. I personally do not have enough experience with other similar products but I am skeptical the top will last. To be fair, it was less than $200 and not $600+ so perhaps the quality was consistent with the price. I purchased the manufacturers cover as well so I will keep my fingers crossed and update on the ultimate longevity of the heater.

ADDING another STAR for excellent year two performance.

Received the package in good condition. All the items, nuts, bolts, everything was in order. The instructions are very small print, but you can find the pdf instructions online at the Fire Sense web site to view or print them larger. Nothing missing in the box... the only thing I added were three larger washers for the reflector hood. That's just me... because I may have to remove the reflector hood frequently for storage.

Follow the directions... use good tools... example: The instructions suggest a phillips screwdriver, but a larger-wider flathead screwdriver also works with the eight bolts that are combination philips/flat. I think the flat driver would provide more torque. The instructions suggest a variable wrench, but if you have a nice set of open-end/box end METRIC wrenches or METRIC ratchet wrench... that might work better for you.

I assembled it last night, bought a new propane tank and fired it up this evening. It lit on the first click of the starter. Love it when something carefully assembled works the first time. I kept it low flame, to allow the heater to temper at first, burn off oils, color the cylinder, then turned it up. It has a nice blue ring of flame, red cylinder wall and very very little noise. In short it works just like it should.

I purchased two of these heaters for my roof after reading about the long range on the Fire Sense website, however the advertised range of 18ft in diameter is completely inaccurate.

At 40 degrees fahrenheit, with minimal wind, the range of each heater was no greater than 5 feet in diameter. In colder or windy weather, I imagine it may not even reach that.

In addition, due to Amazon's return policy of not allowing returns of items that use flammable liquids or gases I am stuck with these heaters. It's a sound policy, however it should give the consumer even more caution in purchasing this product.

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

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $65.00
Sale Price: $49.95
Today's Bonus:

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!

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.

Read Best Reviews of Chef's Choice 677 Cordless Electric 1-3/4-Quart Teakettle Here

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.

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.

Today's Bonus: 29% Off

Heat, if that's what you want, this heater will give it to you. Before I tell you what's good about this heater, let me tell you why I only gave it 4 stars. The reason: This heater doesn't have a thermostat. It is a completely manual turn on and off unit. It does have a timer, but I still haven't figured out when to use the timer other then putting it in a room and leaving the room knowing it will shut off when it reaches the time I set. Other than that I can't think of another reason except maybe when you go to sleep it will shut off, but it will get cold if it shuts off and you'll have to get up or use the remote to turn it back on. Either way, it's not a big deal. This heater is well worth the money. It has a gorgeous dish with diamond cuts throughout the inside and when it's on, wow, the look alone is worth the money. It also warms you like the sun. We have a fairly large media room and this heater makes us quite comfortable. We don't even have to put the main house heat on. Now keep in mind that this isn't a whole house heater, but a rather good room heater. It has a telescoping pole (I wish it would go up a little higher) so you can raise the heater and this comes in very handy. The 2 heat settings are low and high. High is only 1000 watts and low is 800 watts. Both are very economical. Those 1500 and 1800 watt heaters are very passe'. We leave it on low most of the time. It really does generate lots of beautiful, warm sun like heat. It has a very good tip-over switch which shuts the heater off if it is tipped over or bumbed hard. There is no hesitation in shutting it off, it's instant and that's a good thing. The entire body except the front grill is made of plastic so it's easy to move around. The front grill is metal. The heater also can oscillate. The remote controls the timer (up to 7 1/2 hours), temp. control, oscillating and on-off.

My only question mark is "will it last"? Only time will tell, but if you need some heat now, I absolutely recommend it. The cold can be bitter, but this heater will put a smile on your face. Don't be cold. Listen to Doctor R. I know about being hot, warm and cold and I'd rather be warm or hot and this heater will keep you warm...

You'll need a Phillip and about 20 min as the instructions aren't clear and putting it all together is a matter of trial and error. The actual oscillation is a bit wobbly and all plastic parts looked "used".

I am saving a bundle on propane costs since I started using the Comfort Zone parabolic heater(s). I especially like the remote control for heating ranges and the oscillating feature. The unit has performed as expected with no component failures. I would recommend you purchase one for each room. It really does the job in keeping the room comfortable and takes the load off of the forced air system. I know this sounds like a commercial, but with my heating bills costing $500.00 or more a month, I have been able to keep the costs down to $300.00 a month by supplementing with the parabolic heaters. My Electricity bills have increased slightly. (around 25 to 30 dollars a month} The units were recommended by a friend whose heating bills were a three times as much as mine. These old victorian homes are hard to keep warm in winter.

For less than 1/2 price, you get the same timer but with only one set of contacts. The cost of the second set of contacts is minuscule. I guess they got you if you need to wire a 220v switch.

Nothing to keep the cover from rotating, opening the box. Definitely not the best design, and a ridiculous price. But on the positive side, the timer does work.

The product apears well built and worked very well for about 24 months. Now the higher wattage element is burned out on both heaters so they only work on low. They both burned out within a week of each other which makes me think it is a manufacturing problem. It is an extremely expensive heater and a very expensive repair. I plan to buy another brand for less than the cost of the repair. Thanks Cadet.

My garage is just over 500sq.ft. and uninsulated. It takes the chill out of the air from about 40 degrees F on up. Below that, don't look at it helping much unless your garage is insulated. It's helped me get a lot of things done when it would be too cold to otherwise.

I had a 1500w that I was using in an office environment. Every time it was plugged in, my office and 4 others would lose power because the heater was throwing the breaker.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Granted it's not winter and I've not put this through a whole heating process of using it multiple nights. But I was able to use it a few times when it got cool here and I can say it heats up nice.

First off this is a ceramic type of heater. Not the fan type of infra-red. There are many pros and cons of each type. Naturally it does get a bit warm (some may say hot) in front, so if you have pets or children be careful.

Whats really nice is you can detach the side so to put part on a table or around something. There is a wire, but it's not going to stretch around the room. Or you can keep it all connected and maneuver the heater up. At the time I'm writing this, there are pictures at the top of this page you can click on to see what I am saying.

There are knobs you turn on/off and regular temperature. Not push buttons. Some prefer one over the other. Many find knobs easier.

What I will say is it's best to plug this directly into the wall outlet. BUT if you need an extension cord MAKE SURE you spend some extra money for a heavy duty contractors gauge extension cord, highest grade made! A regular extension cord WILL heat up and cause a fire. And plug it directly into the wall outlet. Look at the back of the extension cord package and ask in the store. You don't want a cold night, you're nice and comfortable and you smell smoke.

And be realistic, this is a great heater but it isn't going to heat up a large room. It's not radiator or kerosene heater. It's directional, depending upon how cold it is and your body, like all portable heaters it's just that, A portable zone heater. And it works great at that!

Do what it's made for and you will be warm and happy!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program File this one under, "how come no one thought of this before?"

It's a ceramic heater that allows you to detach the right half from the base unit (containing the controls) and deploy it up to six feet away.

This means that you and a significant other can each enjoy your own separate heater when you're snuggled up on a couch or sitting at the kitchen table. Or you can have heat on your face and feet simultaneously, when you're seated at a desk. Or you can have the two heaters directing their heat at you from the left and right, enveloping you in warmth.

The two halves feature fan-driven ceramic heaters with red lights that come on to show they're working.

You can choose to fire up just the left half, or the right half, or both together. Note, however, that the single thermostat governs both sides. This means that you can't dial up separate settings for each side, though, of course, you can place one half farther away from you if you get too hot.

The reason I deduct one star is the plastic construction of the heater housings. In my experience, the plastic housings of ceramic heaters tend to warp or even melt from the heat; I prefer ceramic heaters with metal housings.

As I write this, in early Fall, I haven't had a chance to put this puppy through its paces over an extended period. When I do, I will return with a report on how the housings are holding up.

I see also that neither half of this heater has a user-serviceable air input filter like my Tatung Heat Devil. Whether this deficiency will lead to reduced performance over time is a question of concern. The product comes with a three-year warranty, however, which is fairly generous in this day and age.

You're supposed to be able to direct the right half in three directions -up, straight, and down -when it's attached to the left half, but it doesn't seem to click into place firmly to hold each position, and it's very easy to detach the half entirely as you try to position it. Straight ahead seems the best position when the two halves are united.

Otherwise the fans in the two halves are pretty quiet in operation, and the halves cycle on and off together without making loud clicks or annoying start-up noises.

So if you like the positioning flexibility this two-in-one heater gives you, you might want to give it/them a try. The price seems reasonable, and then your main day-to-day concern will be, "to halve or halve not"! (Sorry, I couldn't resist...)

UPDATE: The boiler in our apartment building was out overnight, and my apartment temperature dropped to 61 degrees. I deployed this heater pair, and I'm afraid it proved VERY slow at heating up the apartment. I would therefore recommend it primarily for those who want some spot heat delivered very quietly, like folks working at a desk or watching a movie at home. Those needing a heater to warm up a cold room rapidly will definitely want a different model, perhaps one of those Vornado whole-room heaters.

* DOESN'T turn off automatically when knocked over; No safety tip-over switch.

* The controls are only on one unit of this two-unit heater.

* Requires relatively large floor space because of the stand and horizontal design.

* Front gets very hot.

* The automatic temperature control switches heat on or off only, no gradual decrease high med low slightly annoying to hear it turn on and off and can mislead you to think that it is entirely off.

I was a little overwhelmed at the amount of floor space needed to use this heater. For a small, crowded room, or place with narrow halls or doors, I wouldn't recommend this version. The front get very hot, so you need at least 1½ feet, minimum, clearance.

SAFETY ISSUE: This heater has NO AUTO OFF (safety tip-over switch) for when it gets knocked over. Granted, the wide base makes this a little less likely to happen, but when separated the other side isn't as stable and becomes a serious fire hazard. The front of the heater gets hot enough to melt plastic, burn your fingers if in contact for a half a second, and possibly burn papers and things. You never would want it to tip over when hot. The Consumer Product Safety Commission warns: "Use a heater with thermostat control and an automatic device that turns the heater off if it tips over."

You have 4 choices on the top dial: Off, left half only on, right half only on, or both sides on. This is convenient, if you remember to keep the half with the controls in the room you'll be using the most.

This heater cranks up really quickly, and isn't too loud when running. The lower dial controls what level of warmth to maintain. When the room reaches the warmth level you've designated, both sides will shut off. Read there is no high/medium/low where they are louder & blowing more heat vs quiet and blowing softly. Your options are on or off. This could be okay for many people, but I'm a light sleeper, and find the frequent on-off-on-off annoying.

Another reason the complete ON vs OFF is a downside: It can mislead you to believe the heaters are off entirely. I know it's good safety practice to unplug heaters and such when not in use, but sometimes you forget. Once I was running out the door, passed the silent, cool heater, and, just as I was leaving, heard it switch on. You should never leave space heaters running while unattended; it's a serious fire hazard.

This should be a good floor heater for people with average sized rooms, who aren't annoyed by noises, and who are very, very careful and not forgetful.

Shipped quickly....I bought this to heat quickly a finished part of my garage that I use as my man cave...love the detachable nature of the one side to be moved up to 3 feet from the unit. The unit heats quickly an area where two or so people sit for a short period...I don't use it to heat the entire 500 sq ft area...just the area I sit in.

good purchase for me.
