I am very pleased with the performance of this water heater. I have burnt up coils before, in just a few days, so I was reluctant to spend the money. I'm glad that I did. This heater worked fabulously on a 3 week trip to Peru at 220 voltage, and a week in Jamaica at 110, and is still going strong. It can bring water to boiling surprisingly fast. It takes up very little space in the suitcase too. I'm taking this baby with me everywhere I travel.

My wife and I travel 3-5 times a year. We both enjoy either tea or flavored coffees. Hotels and cruise ships do fine for delivering ready made coffee, but hot water is not always hot. By the time it goes into their thermos or pot, then is poured into a cold ceramic cup/mug, it is not at all piping hot! So, we either run water through the coffee maker without coffee and get that wonderful acidy after taste, or use the luke warm water provided.

This little travel pot is great. It is faster than our previous Frantz unit, and works perfect. The first dozen or so uses had a plastic tasting flavor, but we seem to have worked past that. Weight is not bad, size is minimal, and the piece nest together nicely for packing in a suitcase. The voltage can adapt to whatever country you are in, and we've never not been able to use it. Hotels, cruise ships, even bed and breakfasts. This unit gives us the flexibility to have morning or afternoon coffee at our leisure, and to have it HOT!

I looooove this gadget! It heats water real quick and it's very lightweight. I am a flight attendant and I fly international and in most foreign countries other than UK and France it is hard to find a Water Heater in the room. It's dual voltage so its a plus for me. I put it in a little puch and throw it in my suitcase and there we go. It's very lightweight and the cord wraps around it nicely.Also it brought a little 110 plug,how sweet.It's been already to Africa and Paris,not that you can't get a great cup of cafe au lait in Paris.But it's very convenient while I'm getting ready having a nice cup of tea or coffee. Haven't tried for soups yet,but I guess it'll do the trick as well.I totally recomend it.

I'm a frequent business traveler. I've had multiple immersion coils fail after a few uses so as far as I'm concerned they're worthless. Plus they don't work well anyway. This heater does a great job and is relatively small so I can take it with me when I do just carry-on luggage. I've had it for a month and so far it's lasted longer than any coil. If it fails I'll come back and let you know. Highly recommended

Works as advertised. Great for travel. However, you need to be careful that you do not remove it from the cup before you disconnect it. There is an internal fuze that turns the heater off if it gets too hot. Once that happens its shot.

I liked this product but nowhere on my box did it say that if you ever let it boil dry or get too hot, it would be PERMANENTLY disabled! Believe me, I looked when mine stopped working suddenly. I only found out what had happened when I went to buy a replacement. Works great but $15 plus shipping is a little steep for a product you can destroy so easily. How hot is too hot? Just a big caveat.

Bought 2 one these, one for a friend. Mine died after 4 uses and hers after 2. Thoroughtly disgusted with this product and would not recommend it to anyone.

Read Best Reviews of Travel Immersion Water Heater - Dual Voltage Here

Cheaply made, designed with a self-destruct fuse that permanently kills the unit the first time it senses the unit is hot. Might fail your first use, might last up to a dozen uses, but it's designed to fail pretty quickly. I've bought at least three dozen of these various places during my years of constant travel, and they all fail, no matter how religiously you obey the instructions, don't blame yourself because THEY ARE DESIGNED TO FAIL.

I just think of them now as disposables. If one lasts two uses, I've broken even vs. the price of a cup of coffee. If it works the third time, I'm ahead in savings and convenience; if it lasts a fourth use, I've doubled the price I paid in savings over room service/Starbucks.

Like other reviewers I'd gladly pay much more for a reliable product that does its simple job without self-destructing, but quality US immersion heaters are no longer made. Another industry sold off to China.

One alternative if you're going to Europe/UK: buy a heater locally, you may find better quality, not all there are made in China...yet.

A bulkier less convenient option is to buy a $15-20 variable-dial electric travel 'hot pot'--they too are cheaply made in China, and you're boiling in plastic, but they last much longer than these coils, and with many models you can make soup, boil eggs, etc. See reviews there.

My dad travels a lot and he was looking for something like this which can heat up a cup of water in a jiffy. This does the job beautifully. He lives in an asian country where the voltage is 240V and this worked perfectly. A cup of water comes to a boil in less than 3 minutes ! Pretty darn amazing !!

We bought this to use our awesome Max Burton induction burner with some aluminum pans.

Put it on the burner, put an aluminum fry pan on top, with eggs in the pan, turned on the induction burner, and we waited...

Half a second later, there was a series of loud metallic pops. This kind of freaked us out, as you don't normally see that kind of behaviour in major appliances.

Upon immediately turning it off, we examined everything and noted rather large blisters in the thin metal sheeting on this disk. It no longer sat flat, and very little of the disk would make contact with the burner any more.

It lasted an incredible half of a second before breaking.

We contacted the company from which we bought it on Amazon (don't remember who it was so consider this review to be of the item, not the seller), and heard nothing back.

Fifty bucks flushed down the toilet.

NOT recommended.

This item does everything the manufacturer claims. All cookware can now be used on an induction cook-top, the tri-ply disk distributes the heat evenly, and the silicone handle is comfortable to hold, remaining cool in use.

I have an aluminum pressure canner, a non-stick hard-anodized sauce pan reserved for milk-based sauces and custards, a glass vacuum coffee pot, and several other items of cookware made of non-magnetic materials which are not induction compatible. Were it not for these items, I would not have bought this interface which effectively reduces the controllability, instant response, and efficiency to below that of a radiant cook-top.

Buy this item if you must retain cookware which is not induction compatible it will work well with them.

BUT... it makes absolutely no sense to hobble an induction cook-top's capabilities after paying its premium cost.

AND... It is far more than twice the price I would expect to pay for this item when comparing it with the price of an economy set of tri-ply, induction compatible cookware (which can now be found for around $150).

Sooner or later a competitor will challenge this manufacturer's monopoly and prices will fall. Until then it merits a very reluctant overall score of 4 stars. Were it not for my "special" items of cookware, this would warrant 2 stars.

This interface disk worked great when boiling water in my NON-magnetic tea kettle... And it DOES let you use just about ANY pot or pan you own on an induction cooktop. BUT, for it's simple design and manufacturing, the price is DOUBLE what it should be !!!!!! Go ahead, bite the bullet.. what else can you do to be able to use your existing pots and pans ?? By the way, 4 cups of water boiled 30 seconds FASTER using this AND the Burton induction cooktop, than it did on my smooth glass cooktop on high ! I just HAD TO compare the two !!!!

Read Best Reviews of Max Burton 6010 8-Inch Induction Interface Disk with Heat-Proof Handle Here

I thought this interface disk would be a nice adjunct to the old pans, especially popcorn popper that wouldn't work on the new induction oven. I was wrong! Just today, I tried it for the first time on popcorn. When the "test" kernels weren't popping, I checked the temperature of the bottom of the pan. It was MUCH too low. Then I checked the induction plate temperature with both a digital probe as well as infrared temperature. Way Low! I switched to a regular induction pot and the temperature zoomed right up and the popcorn was done promptly. In order to shake the pot and not scratch the glass top surface, I placed a paper towel underneath during cooking. While it browned a bit it worked like a charm and I was able to shake the pan on the cook top without it scratching.

I hope you read this and NOT buy this product! It was a waste of money!

Want Max Burton 6010 8-Inch Induction Interface Disk with Heat-Proof Handle Discount?

I was really looking forward to purchasing an induction disk so that i could continue to use my non-induction ready pans on my new Kenmore Elite slide in stove. First use, the stove's induction cooktop instantly recognized the disk's magnetic characteristics and kicked right in. A few seconds later the stove went into error mode and the stove completely shut down and would not respond while the disk remained on the burner. The error code would not clear while the disk was on the stove. Once I removed the disk and replaced it with a magnetic pan, the error code went away and the stove resumed to work like a charm. I repeated the process several times. Each time the disk sent the stove into a error mode. Previously and since, the stove works great with all other magnetic fry pans and pots. I don't know why I had a problem with this disk. Perhaps other stoves would not experience the same difficulties.

I am very pleased with this product. It looks beautiful in my bedroom. The appearance of the flame is very real. It does not put off a ton of heat, but it is a great supplemental source of heat.

I first want to let everyone know who buys this, probably MOST of these fireplaces come in 2 boxes so dont worry when you just get 1/2 (1 box is the insert and 1 box is the mantel)

That being said, I am absolutely in love with this Fireplace. My home is very open and very white so this was a perfect choice for what I need, The color is off white and the details on the mantel are very simple but quite classy.

Putting the unit together was very easy, the directions were very strait froward and easy to follow, everything was numbered correctly even the hardware bag with the screws and dowels. (only needed a Philips screw driver )

Once put together the fireplace feels very solid and sturdy. (I have the fireplace on carpet and a very fat curious cat so was worried about tipping, that wont happen) . The flames look great (as 1 person said they look about as real as any fake flame could look) The heating unit puts off a good amount of heat and the blower sounds about what you would expect,(blowing) I dont find it bothersome or loud.

Over all I am finding this to be the perfect addition to my living room and I feel quite confident in recommending this fireplace for durability, quality, ease of putting together, and above all beauty!!

The fireplace does look very nice. However, the flame effect is not as realistic as another fireplace I purchased from Lowes for $250, which was a bit of a disappointment.

THe major issue I have with this item is that the flame effect has become increasingly noisy. THere is a continual knocking sound, which is caused by the servo motor that spings the reflector to create the flame effect. Its too noisy to switch on, and I fear that soon it will break altogether. Not what you expect for $500.

I should have bought a better quality one.

I live in a small apartment which has wall-to-wall carpeting. There is a small dining area off the living area. I have oriental rugs everywhere, but I had hardwood floors in my houses and other apartments and was sick of all the carpeting. I ran across these Bamboo rugs, liked the look of this one and decided to try it.

Not only is it beautiful, but it is also sturdy; and it breaks up the monotony of carpeting. I've discovered that cleaning it is also much easier than cleaning hardwood floors. I use a soft, damp cloth sprayed with Murphy's Oil Soap and the dirt comes up and the "rug" has a beautiful sheen. I highly recommend this product.

Napa Forge is an incorrect name. It's made in China, Wung Ho Welding Shop would be a more appropriate name as the manufacturer. Quality is OK. One leg is shorter than the other three. I had to put some cardboard underneath the leg to make it stand evenly. It's only about a quarter of an inch off, but still it's off. The appearance looks good on the hearth and it accentuates the wood stove. Very strong! I stack it with wood every day and it is holding up well. The tools are well made and are meant to be used. Too often fireplace tools are mere accent pieces. That's not the case with these, they are tough.

This heater is phenomenal and for only 43.00 bucks! I have a kitchen and 2 large rooms downstairs, this heater heats all three rooms nice and toasty. I come home from work, turn the heater on and the whole downstairs is warm within 15 minutes. I don't understand the people that gave this poor reviews. It's very pretty and it does a heck of a job heating up even large spaces. The odor that comes from it comes from all heaters including my baseboard heat when 1st turned on for the winter. The smell from this heater goes away after a few uses.

This heater has a timer feature, oscillate on/off, hi/low settings and temp. settings from 60 to 85 in 5 degree increments. No remote, but seriously do you want to pay an extra 10 bucks to have a remote for your heater?!! Seriously!!! Also I like this heater so much I'm getting 2 more for the basement and bedroom. Instead of having my baseboard heat all the way up to 74-76 in the winter I have it set to 68 and just have the Lasko on. That's all I need.

Also, forgot to mention this heater is whisper quiet. No louder than a purr!

I waited until after I had used this an entire winter before writing a review. I admit that my house is kept pretty cool because of the expense of the propane we use to heat it, which over the previous three years averaged just over $3100/yr. I used this heater in the living/dining/kitchen area (about 500 sq.ft.) during the day while I was up and about and left the thermostat for the entire house at 55 degrees 24/7. At the end of the year my heating bill was down $1600 and the electric was up $140. And this past winter was colder than usual! I've already talked my sister and my niece into buying one of these.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This unit arrived on a cold damp grey drizzly 50 degree day that saw me spending three hours in a chilly detached garage working on a project. ( one of those days where a hot cup of tea or soup goes a long way) Assembly is quick, a simple twist of the base to install, run the cord through the provided slots and plug it in. Almost instantly the unit heated up and began driving off the chill. On low it produces a cozy orange glow, on high it's bright, and a bit glaring to be honest. It will very quickly heat up not just you, but the room. I tested the thermostat and setting it and having it cycle on and off was flawless. ( read the instructions on how to do this). I also knocked it over and tested the tip over protection, it worked instantly.

Later that evening after dinner I was listening to some soft music with a cup of tea and a book. ( just some soft background piano) My toes were cold so I turned on the heater and quickly found that listening to low music or background TV while operating the heater just wasn't going to happen. Even placed a bit farther away at the edge of the Infrareds effective range the noise still intruded. Under normal TV volume it's not that bad, but relaxing with a book and some music isn't going to work.

The flaw is that it has a constant speed fan. On high the unit pulls 1500 watts and on low it pulls 900. If the fan speed lowered 40% like the power output when switched on low it's the perfect heater, but it doesn't. (this couldn't cost more than 0.50 cents to do) I do understand the need for the fan for optimal heat output and keeping the unit cool, but you're stuck with it on high regardless of heat setting. In a bustling noisy household, commercials blaring on TV, kids running and shouting you'd hardly notice it I imagine.

But on a crisp clear evening after a long day, quietly unwinding to some soothing music, you won't want this in the room.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I expected this heater to be smaller than it is. From the photographs, I thought it would be about a foot tall. It's actually just over two feet tall and a foot wide, with a base a little over 17 inches wide.

And it does what it says -it heats a room, and you, fast! It only takes a second or two for it to come up to full heat. And that's a wonderful thing when you're trying to chase away a winter chill.

There's something about infrared heat in the way it penetrates to warm you all the way through. That's what makes a fireplace so warming. And this heater does that, plus you don't have to wait while you build a fire. You just plug it in, switch it on, and in seconds you are feeling the warmth.

There are two settings -on low the heating element has a bright, but still cozy orange glow. High has a very bright glow. A fairly quiet fan runs on both settings. There's also a thermostat. Of course the front screen gets hot, but the rest of the heater stays relatively cool to the touch.

There are lots of important safety instructions for using a room heater like this. For example, don't use an extension cord with this heater or plug it into a power strip; always plug it directly into a wall outlet. And keep the unit away from fabrics (you'll be surprised at how fast it heats up your clothes), and make sure it is set back from furniture. A brochure is included with the heater that covers this and and several other safety procedures.

The power cord on the unit measures six feet long, enough to get the heater near the center of an average 12' X 12' room and away from furniture.

Assembly is pretty much a one-step process. You just twist on the locking base and snap the power cord into its slot.

It has a carrying handle in the back, and molded-in cleats on which to wind the cord. And it is fairly light, so it is a very portable unit.

This thing's a winner.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am updating my previous review because of some major issues with the heater. After owning it for a month, it would not stay on. The thermostat is supposed to regulate the heater so it turns off and on depending on the temperature in the room. It reached a point where immediately after it came on, it would shut off again after a few seconds. Then, it would not come on at all. Amazon kindly replaced the unit but now the same thing is happening to the new one. There seems to be a problem with the thermostat and it will not work properly.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program We don't often need heavy-duty heating in Arizona, but it can still get mighty chilly in the winter (or, as we had last week, during an unexpected cold snap). Ordinarily we depend on the heat pump part of the air conditioning unit for heat, except that the heat doesn't work well on the A/C at the office/bedroom side of the house. Mostly that isn't a problem since our computers and servers (let's not talk about how many many...) generate plenty to keep the offices warm. But our bedroom suite is cold, so for the past few years we have relied on space heaters. I don't want to take a shower in a room that's brrrrr 62 degrees.

These gizmos don't seem to last long, though. At least, I had to replace one a few years ago (I got a Lasko 755320 Ceramic Tower Heater in 2010, which is still cranking along). So I was particularly attracted to the Amazon Vine offer for the Bionaire BHH7522M-BM Instant Comfort Infrared Heater, which promised, "The Xpress Comfort Infrared Heater heats you and your room up quickly. This heater was designed to provide users with Instant Comfort. Within 3 seconds of turning the unit on, the heater starts to warm up users, allowing them to restore their comfort level quickly." And that, I'm pleased to report, is actually what I got.

And, since both of these are working fine, you get the advantage of a comparative review. Though really, the bottom line is that both do a very good job.

* The Lasko unit I got has the advantage of movement; the oscillation means that the heat is directed around the room, not just at ONE person's toes. (That's okay. I steal the quilt from him anyway.) But I haven't found that this makes as much of a difference with heat as it does with a cooling fan; once the heater gets the room to temperature, it's the ambient warmth you care about rather than the "huddled around the campfire" moment after you turn the thing on.

* The Bionaire is larger, which might be meaningful if you have to fit your space heater into a small space. It's on the ugly side, but I don't think that we buy these for beauty and nobody's putting the Lasko unit up for a Best Dressed award either.

* The Bionare heating element is very bright. That is, it glows enough that it serves as more than a night-light. Right now the unit is in a hallway, but it might be bright enough to be bothersome in the bedroom.

* The Bionaire controls are a bit more straightforward: no remote control (that's just another thingie for me to lose; maybe you care), just knobs. But it has only a 1-5 scale, which means you might need to fiddle with it a bit more to get the temperature just right. The Lasko lets us set it to, say, 72 degrees and it turns on and off to match that temperature. I have no idea how warm the room is with the Bionaire going.

* The Bionaire _does_ put out heat faster. With the Lasko, I find that I have to remember to turn it on 20 minutes before I want to go into the bedroom to shower. I haven't done a full side-by-side comparison (sorry, friends, but I'm not that dedicated), but the Bionaire does feel as though the room gets warmer a little faster. That sounds like a meaningful advantage, except that once I have a space heater going, it just generally stays on. The length of time from "Brrrrr" to "nice and toasty" isn't that big of a deal.

* Noise-wise, I think they're about equal. They aren't precisely quiet, but it's a "fan" noise that just becomes background white noise.

What I can't tell, without more research, is whether there's a meaningful difference in power consumption between the two units. Does that "instant comfort" mean a higher electric bill? I'm not motivated to play with the numbers since, honestly, a relatively high heating bill in Arizona is nothing in comparison to my air conditioning costs. (Don't ask. Really.) That isn't where I pinch my pennies. But you might think about it.

Both are good. Both do what they promise. If I were to buy only one, though, my vote would tip slightly towards the Lasko unit. First, it's a little cheaper; second, I appreciate the ability to set the temperature and let it adjust on its own. That's just a mild preference, though. You won't go wrong with either choice.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a nice big infrared heater with a fan and uses ~900 Watts on low setting, so you'd expect the heat output to be significant. But it's not, I can sit 2 feet from it in a 60 degree room and am barely warm, not hot. The fan is somewhat noisy but doesn't blow the warm air very far.

It has two controls, one thermostat knob (not marked with any particular temperatures), and one off/low/high knob. The thermostat controls at what temperature the heater will come on, so turn the knob if you're cold and you want more heat. But the thermostat needs work, the heater will turn on for only 5 or 10 seconds sometimes, the air gets warmer and then it turns back off. There needs to be a minimum time it will run once triggered, maybe 2 to 3 minutes at least.

The construction is plastic but seems solid enough. It's fairly understated and won't really stand out in a room. The heater element and front grate is of course metal. The top where the controls are is concave, which is an odd choice and seems like it would accumulate dust.

The heater will turn off if tipped, even a little bit. That's a safety feature, not a big deal.

Overall the heater works well but the fan is fairly noisy and doesn't seem to project the heat very far. It might heat a room but only a small one and at the 1,500 watt setting.
