Hopefully this video captures the charm of the artificial fire. I love it! It's safer than a real fire and much cleaner. Flip a switch and it's on, flip a switch and it's off. The switches and temperature dial are located behind the door, below the faux fire. When the blower is on the warm air comes from the base between the front legs. No assembly was necessary. Only the door and embers are plastic, the unit is metal. It's sturdy but light enough to carry to different locations.

Ordered this little stove and was pleasantly surprised! Love the happy red color, and it's a great space heater as well as artificial fireplace. Double switch allows you to use only heat, only fire, or both. We've enjoyed using it as an extra heater over the winter.

This electric stove does warm my 12 x 12 bedroom adequately as a backup, but not nearly as quickly as my old Lasko ceramic heater, which was just too ugly to bear. The thermostat is a dial, located behind the door, near the floor. This keeps it out of sight, but a little difficult to reach. There are no numbers on this dial so one must set it by turning it until it goes on and maintains the temperature you're comfortable with. The on and off switches are also located in the same place. The flame can be turned on without heat, but must be on for heat to work. I took a paper and cut a template and tried to determine the temperature by placing my old Lasko with the digital thermostat next to it. That helped somewhat. Then I marked the template with what I was comfortable with at different settings one for overnight. So the thermostat was a disappointment. The flames are pleasant, but the Vernon I bought is more realistic (though it did not have functions as advertised). The heater is very sturdy, and attractive. I like the bright red. I replaced the two bulbs (candelabra 40 watt) with 15 watts so I wouldn't feel guilty about burning electrictiy. Generally, lookswise, this heater is perfect for my Victorian style decor and I won't mind leaving it in the room year round and enjoying the fireplace any time. It will also make a cute table top to set my fan on in the summer.

I have had other electric fireplaces in my small room that have been wall mounted and very pricey. for the size of this one, the price, the aesthetic character, and the portability, this electric stove is fabulous! it gives very realistic flames, stays cool, and puts out an amazing amount of warmth when the heater is on. the only thing I wish is that this electric fireplace stove had been available 4 years ago! Excellent item, Duraflame!!

I am absolutely delighted with this little red stove! Everything about this purchase has turned out to be even better than ever expected: stove is a sturdy metal of caboose red. WORKS VERY QUIETLY AND EFFICIENTLY. I have a 400 sq ft park model home. I wanted this little stove to be used in the living/dining/and kitchen area, which is about 60% of my home's space. The first morning after I got the stove, we had a cold front (well, in Texas, it was about 45 degrees with cold winds). I bought this heater to use rather than turn on the central electric heat, as I'm usually in the main living area during the day and I saw no need to heat the entire trailer. I turned it on, both the flames and the heater, and turned the thermostat dial. The blower is quiet and I thought the heater wasn't working, but within 15 minutes -with the thermostat turning the heater on and off automatically -the area was already fairly comfortable. I have wood floors and set the unit's plastic legs (housing is sturdy metal with, I believe, a plexiglass or even glass window on the door) directly on the wood and was pleased to confirm that the heat from the blower is aimed outward, not downward, an the floor and housing of the heater remained cool enough to touch -housing in places was warm but not hot. The quality of the stove's design and workmanship is way way beyond what I'd expect for the price of $69.99 + shipping I paid. Shipping was fast and the stove was well packed to avoid damage during shipping. GO AHEAD, BUY IT!!! I think you'll be as delighted as I am.

I just bought the bowl and don't know what the "rim" is that is referred to. It is smaller than I expected but big enough for the birds. I didn't have a way to mount it so I just put it inside of a larger bird bath. The birds give it a thumbs up.

I purchased this copper bird bath bowl, knowing full well that it was just the bowl (and not a stand). I purchased it to fit an existing stand which once held a mis-guided purchase of a beautiful, glass bird bath. The copper bird bowl from this vendor was described as "used" but in "very good condition"; it was exactly that, and in fact, I would never have known it was used. It is very good quality for the price paid, has a very evenly placed "hammered" texture to it, and is gorgeous. It is exactly as described at 12.5" diameter and 2.5" deep, with approx. 2" rim. I paid less than $40.00 for mine, which is an excellent price for a solid copper bowl. Very happy with this purchase!

This heater is an excellent choice for a small space. Because it has a fan, it would not be suitable for a TV area. And because it's not sold by Amazon, you'll have to pay shipping (but even with that, the heater is a bargain). Compared to an earlier Honeywell unit of the same size that we had, Pelonis does everything right (whereas Honeywell did everything wrong). The controls are on top (handy), the knobs are easy to dial, and the light goes out when you turn off the fan (the Honeywell's light stayed on if the unit was plugged in (huh?). Note: In the picture, the heater appears to be cream colored; it is actually white.

Buy Pelonis NTK15 Safe-T-Furnace Ceramic Heater Now

I purchased this item from Wal-Mart in Oct of 2008 when it was on sale. I am here at Amazon.com to buy a more expensive model. Not this one. This heater has only one heating ceramic, and heats up a "coil" or "folded" wiring system then the fan blows the heat into the room. This model does not put out the heat that a 4 ceramic heater will put out. This model is more costly to run than the more costly, but more efficient, models. Do not drop this model. Do not put it in an area where it may get knocked over. It is low priced for a reason. Think "seasonal puchase" if you must have it.

If you can, get the more expensive models for hotter heating over a shorter period of time. All in all, Pelonis is still the brand to get. I have/had the original Pelonis Safe-T-Furnace (4 ceramic model) since 1989. Yes 1989. It has survived that long by taking care of it, and keeping it clean. I'm here to purchase a new model to replace it. The bulky wire out of the back of the old furnace finally "cracked" and lost connection to the heating elements. I had it 20 years. Sigh ....

I would suggest the more expensive model for long term use. The model shown here was lent to a neighbor and after a while her dog knocked it over and it stopped putting out heat. The fan works though. Now I need to find a job for the dog so he can pay me back ... Anyone need a yard dug up?

Didn't use it much until recently, too late to return. Has NO tip over switch as advertised and I have cats that occasionally take great joy in tipping things over, purchased this because of the switch. It does kick out the heat, and this one is not too noisy, it rotates fine, but now the cord it getting warm, not the plug into the wall but the cord which makes me nervous to leave it on at all if I'm not right there. Would not buy this one again. At work they have a older 3yr old model and it works great that's why I picked this brand.

Oh my God!!! I moved to a small home after living in a huge house with a stone fireplace, which I had burning all the time. I spent ten years without my beloved fires until I found your gel fireplace. It is everything I hoped it would be and more. Fits perfectly in my living room, we even built a granite hearth for it to sit on. It is absolutely gorgeous and has completely transformed my home. We keep it burning all the time and I wouldn't live without it. My mom bought it for me as a belated housewarming gift and I tell her everyday it is the most wonderful gift I've ever received!

I bought this heater for my daughter's nursery. Her room is always a little colder than the rest of the house and I wanted to add a few degrees with a heater that was extremelly safe for children and absolutely quiet. I wanted a short heater that would be safe in case my child tips it over. Also, this one is small and looks nice in white. This heater did the job, even though I was doubting at first. We got rid of the initial smell by running the heater in the garage at full temperature for one day. This was specified in the instructions, which said that they cover the heater with some protecting layer for shipping. The heater was quiet for many weeks, and then one day starting making some noise. I discovered that it was due to some bubbles that were produced when my daughter tipped it over. The solution was to gently shake the heater a little, which I think removed all bubbles. After that, we haven't had any noise. The most important part is that we set this heater at lower heating, and that is enough to raise the temperature in the room a few degrees. This works very nicely for us because the heater is not too hot to the touch and it safe even if my daughter wants to touch it. In terms of the manual regulation, I think that there are some advantages. Electronic settings tend to break often, so having all manual settings will make for a more durable machine. To set the temperature, you have to wait until you feel the proper temperature has been reached and then lower the thermostat until it clicks. This is not as convinient as just setting a temperature with a number dial, and that is why I give only four stars to this review. On the other hand, sometimes is better to determine the right temperature by how it feels in the room betten than by what the machine says. Finally, regarding the timer setting, we don't use it that much because my husband prefers to unplug the heater when we are not home, but it seemed to me very easy to figure out and quite practical. You can set it every 15 mins on and off and all you have to do is move the little pegs in or out. Very straighforward.

Other reviews cover this well. It heats as well as I need it to, very small, compact, silent and it heats a 15' square room with no problem.

As others noted, it's kind of a pain not to have an "on" switch. You have to use the timer whenever you want it on.

After being dissatisfied with the cleaner sample included with my ceramic top range, I tried "Weiman Glass Cook Top Cleaner." While it was better than the cleaner I had been given...it is far from the best. If you already have this product, the best way to use it is to dab it on the spot to be cleaned and let it sit for about a minute before you start rubbing...and if that doesn't work the first time...repeat.

A far superior product is "Bar Keepers Friend." It does not take nearly as much time or elbow grease as the other products I have tried AND it is a multipurpose cleaner that cleans my stainless steel pans that I thought were past redemption.

I do like "Weiman Cook Top Wipes" for a quick cleanup of minor spots, spills and grease.

I just received this for Christmas, it's something I've wanted for a while. Ever since my tea kettle died of old age, I've been boiling water for tea with a regular sauce pan and what usually happens is I forget all about it and only remember after it has been boiling for a while. Also, I didn't like the long wait for hot water. I want instant gratification! And now I have it with this Zojirushi dispensing pot. It's perfect since I'm an avid tea drinker, consuming several pots of tea each day.

A long long time ago, I used to have the "air pot" style dispensing pot where you just press on the top and it pumps out water. This one is a much newer design and dispensing is handled electronically. What I like is the "safety" feature which was lacking in the old "air pot" styles. You have to press the "unlock" button before the "dispensing" button which prevents accidentally dispensing hot water. You can set this to keep water at 205°F, 195°F, or 175°F. You can also set it to give you hot water in 7 hours, but this is a feature I really don't need to use. I'm using the 195°F which seems to be a good middle ground for making black (requires hotter water) and green (requires lower temp water) teas. This is also handy for making instant noodles, oatmeal, hot chocolate. Also handy when needing hot water for a dish I'm cooking, or making chicken/beef broth for a dish I'm cooking. This is very convenient ... no more waiting for hot water! (This beats getting a replacement tea kettle because with a tea kettle I still have to wait for it to boil/whistle, and it usually whistles shortly after I've sat down and gotten comfortable.) This pot will automatically reboil when it feels the temp has dropped too much. The water level gauge is easy to read, the lid lifts up easily for refilling (also removes easily to make pouring water out and cleaning a cinch). Another nice little detail is a removable power cord. It makes me feel a bit "safer" being able to remove this before cleaning out the pot in the sink.

I am confident that this will last me a long time. My in-laws also have a Zojirushi water dispensing pot and it has never failed on them. And I know people who have other Zojirushi products and have had no problems with them. So I feel comfortable with this brand, and I may look into getting one of their rice cookers.

Oh, I have to mention one more nicety of this dispensing pot. The base will swivel around (think lazy suzan style), making it easy to rotate it without scratching your kitchen counter top.

The only thing I need to be careful about is where to put the dispensing pot since there is a steam vent on the top. I don't put it directly beneath any kitchen cabinets, just in case the steam might damage the cabinet over time.

ADDED 11/19/05:

I just wanted to mention that I have had this for 2 years and it is still working as well as it did when I first got it. I have used this pot everyday for the past 2 years. I refill it at least once a day in the summer, 2-4 times a day in the winter. I use it mainly for making tea (big tea drinkers in this house) and cooking. It's easy to clean. No staining on the inside; of course this would depend on your local water quality. Not bad at all considering the use I get out of this. I still highly recommend this pot.

I have a baby now. I have found this dispensing pot handy for quickly warming up bottles from the fridge... instant hot water to immerse bottle in. My screaming baby doesn't have to wait long for her milk. Perfect! The pot has also been useful when mixing cereal... mix cereal with some cold water, then a splash of the hot water to bring it up to a nice warm temp for her.

I drink a fair amount of tea, and so this 3 liter size water pot is perfect for myself. I typically only refill it once a day, at night before I go to bed. It has a 7 hour delay timer that I use so that I have hot water as soon as I get up.

I use the hottest water setting that maintains the temperature at 208 degrees F. It heats up relatively quickly if it's left at 195 degrees or at 175 degrees to save electricity, but I'm impatient and don't like to wait.

I also use it for hot chocolate, apple cider, ramen, you name it.

It is very easy to refill thanks to the removable cover and removable power cord. The cord attaches magnetically, which makes plugging and unplugging incredibly easy.

I do have to turn the pot around so the back is facing me when I open the cover and remove it to refill the water. If I don't, the steam hits me on the wrist when I open it, and since I keep it on the hottest setting, the steam is scalding.

There is a safety feature where you press the "unlock" button before the "dispense" button so it doesn't accidentally dispense hot water, but it hasn't been that important to me.

It's super easy to clean. I bought a 1-lb package of citric acid. I weigh out 30g, dissolve it in water, and throw it into a full pot. Then I press the button to put the pot on clean mode. It takes about an hour and a half Afterward, I dump the water and boil another pot of water to rinse it. I dump that, and the next pot of water doesn't taste like citric acid at all. There are cleaning instructions in the manual.

I clean it every few weeks, or whenever I feel like it. Our water is very hard, and even though I use filtered water, a layer of calcium will accumulate on the inside of the pot, but the cleaning takes that away without any problems.

The interior is Teflon coating, I believe, but as long as I don't scratch it, it's perfectly safe. It hasn't shown any wear or tear yet.

The outside is plastic and easy to clean even when it gets splatter from the nearby stove top.

I have had my pot for 16 months and it hasn't given me any problems. For tea lovers, I can't recommend this enough.

Buy Zojirushi CD-LCC30 Micom 3.0-Liter Electric Dispensing Pot Now

Okay, this is going to seem like a silly purchase to a lot of people. And before I seriously considered it, it did to me too. The only reservation for me was the price. Now that I have it, I think it is worth it.

I bought it a month or so ago (and got the $25 off if you spend $125 on housewares discount amazon usually runs). It's a great machine. There are two people here and we drink a lot of tea, all day long. I refill it at least once a day, and that's without using it for cooking much. People who don't make a lot of tea will probably still go through a pot a day if they use it several times for hot water for drinks or soups, and then maybe for a pot of water for pasta. It's great for things like pre-heating a thermos or tea pot, which can really help them stay hot longer. (Doing that the old way, with kettle-boiled water was a lot more time-consuming, and I might not bother.)

It's nice waking up to hot water using the 7 hour timer. It's also nice for people who drink green tea or oolong, as opposed to black tea, because it has different temperature settings.

By the way, I used a lot less hot water before I purchased this thing--but I used to wait a lot for the water I did use. This is my second Zojirushi product, and I think they're really well made (I also have a fuzzy logic rice cooker). I've learned that a well-designed, well-made product lasts much better, and gets used much more often, than a poorly designed one. I fully expect this will be the case with this machine.

After two years' of continuous use, interior coating is coming off. A few rusty spots have developed in the past 6 months. The company's website does not provide a replace container. I liked the Zojirushi brand but this one seems a disappointment.

Want Zojirushi CD-LCC30 Micom 3.0-Liter Electric Dispensing Pot Discount?

I purchased the Zojirushi 3 liter dispensing pot, and it runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in my house. We drink tea constantly, and it is wonderful not to have to wait to boil water. The Zojirushi allows you to set the desired water temperature based on your needs (i.e. 175 for green/white teas, 195 for other teas, 205 for cooking). The unit is tall enough to fit even our tallest to-go cup under the dispensing spout.

It also has a "7 hour" delayed start so that it can be off during the night, but you wake up to hot water.

The only downside is that it doesn't appear to be insulated as well as it could be. For example, the outside of the unit is warmer than an insulated thermos-style container containing equally hot water. This suggests to me that it is not as well insulated, and therefore not as energy efficient as it could be.

I recommend it, and would buy another one in an instant if anything happened to this one.

Ordered this item and it arrived quickly via FedEx. Box was twice the size necessary with minimal interior padding. Looked as if it had been rolled down stairs repeatedly. Grate was cracked. Returned for replacement. Return was picked up promptly by UPS. Replacement arrived promptly this time via UPS. Box was collapsed on one end and looked as if it had been rolled under a moving vehicle that was driving down stairs. Interior box was a good idea except it was loose in the larger box with little paper packing and had been perforated by the item tumbling about inside. This unit was actually broken in two pieces and I returned it for a refund after attempting to tape it back into something resembling a piñata shaped like a potato. For all I know, the grate may have been fine and given me years of good service. I will never know.

I have owned my Chilipad for 4 years, and can honestly say I cannot sleep without it. Night sweats and hot flashes are nearly impossible, but with this I sleep like a teenager. There are a few things I would change if I were the designer, however. The pad itself consists of a cotton pad in which there are silicone tubes thru which the water circulates (you really can't feel them when you are lying on it, however). This pad slips into a zippered cover that is just like a regular pocketed mattress pad. However, there is no way to adhere the inner pad to the outer pad. Now this may not be a problem for most people, but I have to sleep with the head of the bed elevated, and I have to unzip the outer pad and reposition/smooth out the inner pad about every 3-4 days. They do not recommend using sharp things on the pad, so no pins, no sewing on velcro, etc.

The fan can be noisy, so if you need absolute quiet to sleep, this may not be the solution for you. But I found that soft music drowns it out completely.

You will need to top off the water about once a week or so, but it's really easy to do. You just need to have it somewhere accessible.

I also recommend setting it on a hard surface it seems to work better I use a cookie sheet under my bed just in case it develops a leak or I get sloppy when topping it off.

Customer service at Chili Technology is top notch they will bend over backwards and stand on their heads to make sure you are satisfied. My unit developed a leak, I called them, and had a new unit within 3 days, and they paid for the return shipping on the leaky unit as well.

There is a rumor that they are developing one for chairs, and I can't wait. Wish there was one for a desk chair too.

Although I am single, imagine being able to have your side of the bed cool and your partner's side warm no more arguments about room temperature, and you will save a lot on heating and AC.

Overall, wonderful product, highly recommend it, I love it.

This product can cool or heat your bed. For heating, this device works well, so I will not talk about that feature any further. For cooling, this device may not work as well as you would like it to. Let me explain:

In the summertime, if your bedroom is uncomfortably hot, this device will probably help cool your bedding, but not to such a degree where you can turn off your air conditioning.

Let's say it's 30c and you'd like it to be 20c under the covers. This modestly powered device won't be able to close such a gap in temperature, as it's working against the ambient temperature of your room as well as your own body heat. It may be able to lower the temperature of the water 7c, but it could take several *hours* before a noticeable cooling effect can be felt. Remember, it not only has to cool the water flowing thru the tubes, but also the surrounding bedding, and eventually your body.

In short, this device will not replace your air conditioning if your room is too hot.

But even if the device could dramatically cool your bedding, this wouldn't be practical. Such a difference in temperature would create a large amount of condensation. In fact, condensation is already a problem when lowering the temperature by ~7c. On the hottest nights, I'll have damp bedding in the morning.

My conclusion, after using this product for an entire summer, is that the Chilipad works best in a room that is slightly too hot, but not extremely hot. You may have to use the AC to reach this ideal temperature, which may lead you to feel that this device is pointless. It probably is pointless for some people in some environments, but clearly, some find it greatly beneficial to their quality of sleep.

Another problem to consider is the noise of the device when operating at its maximum power. It produces white noise that is a bit louder than a room fan, as well as some gurgling water noises. If you are sensitive to noise, you'll definitely want to wear earplugs, but even then, you'll still hear it.

I use the Chilipad during the winter months to keep my bed toasty warm. In the autumn and spring the device works well to keep my bed at a reasonable temperature. But during the hot summer months when just about everyone sleeps with the AC on, this device simply cannot beat the heat on its own.

UPDATE Sept 2013:

Unfortunately, I constantly found myself going to bed too hot, and waking up too cold. I could never find a comfortable temperature setting with the Chilipad and the whole ordeal became detrimental to my sleep. As such, I didn't use it for the entire summer for 2013.

I've grown to realize that the product is made for a room that already has a comfortable ambient temperature. The unit simply regulates the temperature of the bottom bedding, preventing things like sweating into the mattress at night. But as I said before, if your room is too hot to begin with, the Chilipad isn't going to help much.

I still plan to use the Chilipad all winter long like last year. It's really quite suited for that.

Just got one of these, and after two nights I think it is great. I have a latex foam mattress, and my only complaint has been that it is hot. The Chilipad fixed that issue. Good customer support too needed for someone who does a poor job of reading the manual.
