Chimney Balloon® Valve/handle Extension 16" (For Use with Any Size Chimney Pillow®)

First let me affirm that using a chimney balloon makes a significant difference in terms of heat loss and drafts from a conventional fireplace with a modern safety damper that does not close all the way. This tool is very useful for inflation because it allows you to place the balloon higher in the chimney, well past the damper, while still being able to reach whatever device you are using to inflate it. The original balloon design has a very short valve, which if you are to reach it to inflate it, might not allow the balloon to be out or range of interfering with the operation of the damper itself. This extension allows you to position the balloon much higher to avoid this problem.

However, you still need to make sure the balloon is within reach, since once you remove the extension, you will still need to close the valve at the bottom of the balloon before you can seal it in place above the damper. So there is still the need for fireplace gymnastics once you have the balloon inflated in place to remove this extension, close the balloon valve, and then close the damper off. Not a perfect solution, but perhaps better than nothing at all. In principle, if you could leave this in place, you would not need to do that, but the stiffness of the rod will probably prevent many dampers from closing, and it also could detach at the balloon end, leaving an exposed valve there so the balloon would lose pressure.

The ideal design would be a telescopic one, so you could leave the extension rod attached and shorten it if you want to close the damper, but then reach up and extend it when you need to inflate or deflate the balloon. Undoubtedly, such a design which was also reasonably airtight is beyond the price point that would be required for an accessory such as this.

IMUSA MEXI-1000-TORTW Tortilla Warmer Microwave Safe Base BPA-Free 8.5-Inch, Brick

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $9.99

Anyone that's ever been to a Mexican-themed restaurant knows exactly what this item is. This particular one is fairly large and will hold my home-made 8" tortillas nicely. With a damp washcloth (folded twice) and a layer of wax paper on the bottom it will easily hold a dozen home-made 8" tortillas. To reheat tortillas just place the container with the washcloth, wax paper and tortillas into a microwave for 30 seconds to two minutes. (Amount of time depends on: number of tortillas, how cold the whole container is to begin with, and dampness of the washcloth.) Also keeps my tortillas in the refrigerator nicely for a surprisingly-long amount of time.

This thing is good at keeping tortillas warm, but it's not deep enough for a batch of homemade tortillas. It will hold two 10 packs of store-bought tortillas that are thin, but the homemade tortillas, which I can never get as thin as store-bought, keep the lid ajar. The container is deep enough, but the bottom of the lid has a "dip" in it that presses against the tortillas and keeps the lid from closing tightly. What a shame. I guess I'll be purchasing the larger warmer.

With tortillas getting expensive AND being filled with hydrogenated vegetable oils, I finally found a SOFT tortilla recipe that I can easily roll out with a rolling pin. It's 3 cups of self-rising flour, 1 cup of warm milk and 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix it into a ball by hand or in a food processor. I don't even have to let them sit for 20 minutes. Just divide into 12 balls, lay a damp paper towel over them as you roll each out (roll from the center out) and then cook for about 30 seconds per side in a skillet. Other tortilla recipes were difficult to roll out and tasted hard like crackers.

There are already several reviews which point out the advantages of this product. It keeps your freshly made tortillas warm at the table and lets you reheat the leftovers in the microwave if you have them later. Just include a wet cloth or paper towel to make some steam so that they don't dry out when they're reheated.

Several reviews have complained about the packaging and the difficulty of getting the glue from the label off the outside of the tortilla warmer once the label is removed.

I just bought one of these here at Amazon, and the good news is that in addition to being useful in the ways already noted, the label was not glued on. The tortilla warmer I received came packaged in a cardboard sleeve which simply slid off. Great!

Great product, made in China like everything else, but what's up with the adhesive label covering half of one side. Tried soaking it in hot water, dish detergent, used the back end of a butter knife but NOTHING gets that label off without leaving an adhesice mess behind. Even using Goo Gone (a citrus solvent) it took a good five minutes of aggressive peeling and fingernail work to get it cleaned up. This was completely UNECESSARY! Wake up, Imusa, get a sticker that peels off please!

This is a piece of junk. It can barely keep wine cool in the winter with the heat off. The fan runs all the time no matter what. Furthermore, when the room temperature is a tad bit above 70 degrees, the light starts flashing along with a constant beeping. The only way to stop this, is to unplug it.

The manufacturer offers no suggestion other than saying it's probably the pc. In my mind "pc" is personal computer, not microprocessor which is probably what is controlling the light flashing and beeping. The manufacturer offers no method of getting a unit which is properly working, even though they shipped the original flashing and beeping unit. They consider it yours because you, well, opened their box. This is the kind of treatment that gives a bad name to internet shopping.

It worked well for a while.

Sure it took a couple days to truly cool stuff, but then it totally died days after the warranty.

Zero. Nothing. Nada.

I'm very sad it was a wedding present with best intentions, and we enjoyed it immensely.

Now this "thing" is in a Florida landfill.

Consider a real refrigerator if you really care about wine temperature.

Refridgerators cost more to operate, but failure is rare, even at the low-end. Add up your costs and you will conclude as I have that this technology is unreliable. Search the internet and you will discover many like me.

Stay far, far away from anything manufactured or "serviced" by Sunpentown.

After five months of owning this piece of garbage, it just stopped working. Just went dead, for no apparent reason. Rather than honoring their warranty and sending me a replacement, they made me SEND THE UNIT back to them, at a whopping price of almost $40 in postage. (Looking back, I was a complete fool for falling for this.) Then they alerted me that the unit had arrived "damaged" but out of the goodness of their hearts they were willing to send me a RECONDITIONED unit for $70. How long do you think the reconditioned unit would have lasted if a NEW one lasted only five months?

I'm now on a one-man crusade to make sure nobody else makes the mistake of buying these terrible products. They're garbage and the company that sells them is unethical. They dealt with me in very bad faith. Do yourself a favor and look for something more solid, with better craftsmanship and most importantly, a company that STANDS BY ITS PRODUCTS AND ISN'T DEVOTED TO RIPPING OFF CONSUMERS.

You gave the measurments incorrectly....the first number is always the width not the depth so I had to return it. Hope I get my money back because it would not fit.

I bought this heater based on the features and a good CR review as there were a limited # of reviews on Amazon. One thing I liked about this heater is it puts out heat at approx. 24" off of the floor. I use it in my home office and my two previous Holmes ceramic heaters were very low and would direct the heat into my computer air intake which wasn't very good for me or my computer. Although I really didn't think I needed a remote to change the heat settings, I find it very useful to control the oscillation or temp setting. You can change all settings manually on the front panel if you loose your remote. It seems to throw out much more heat than any of my previous 1500W heaters and easily heats my 16 x 16 ft room in short order. The LED display is well lit and the construction is fairly impressive and sturdy. The fan seems to have much more CFM than your average space heater, but without any real dicernable noise especially when on the phone etc. About the only thing I can complain about is that in the Automatic temperature control mode the unit will only run in the high 1500W mode. If you use the Auto thermostatically controlled feature and it's relatively close to you, it will get a little too warm which is easily resolved by turning the temperature down or putting it in the manual mode on low. I think for this heater to keep you warm, it doesn't really need to be within 5ft as you can place it anywhere in most rooms in the auto mode to keep the whole room temperature constant. For the cost, I don't see how anyone could complain about this heater, but I'm sure someone will! I just ordered a second one for my family room which is much larger, but I feel it will handle it with ease. I would have ordered two as I am giving one to my Mother for Christmas, but they restocked and sold out all but one in 24 hours! I'm sure that a lot more people will say good things about this heater. BTW I checked the kW per hour usage with a meter, on the high setting and it uses around 1.36 kWh or around 15 cents/hr at average electric rates, but it is very unlikely that you would need to run this heater constantly on high unless you were heating a very large room. I would assume that it would be about half that on the low setting (750W).

Great product! Immediately turns out a lot of heat but the heater itself stays cool to the touch. Love the setting to have the heater automatically monitor the room temp and switch on and off in order to maintain the desired temperature. The only thing I do not like about the heater is that after being turned off, when you turn it back on it goes straight to the heater setting instead of "remembering" that we had been using the automatic temperature monitoring setting.

I put this heater in use at the beginning of December, 2012 and kept track of the power usage with a Kill-A-Watt meter for that month. I ran it for about 8 hours every night set at 65 degrees to keep the master bedroom warm while the whole-house thermostat was set at 60 degrees. For the month of December the heater used 112.39 kwh which at my electrical rate in Michigan cost $7.83 or 25.2 cents per day. I consider this to be very good. The house is well insulated with outside storm windows on the bedroom. The bedroom is 14x17 ft with an 8 ft ceiling that slopes up to 14 ft.

The only downside that kept it from getting five stars is that it is a bit noisy.

The heaters are relatively inexpensive and very compact. Overall, I think they are worth the money. The only complaint with the unit is that, unlike a lot of others I've had, it doesn't automatically shut off upon tipping. The manual says it will shut off if tipped, but it isn't immediate. Would prefer to see that safety feature improved, however I may be missing something. The unit remains cool on the outside and presents less hazard in a lot of ways to others, so a plus there.

The heater pictured is different from one I ordered and recieved. I think I got a newer model, I had the one pictured for several years and it worked fine. The one I recieved does not work on all settings, only low. It worked fine when I first got it and now after a few weeks it does not. I use it in my office and it is quite and would be fine if it worked and didnt shut off on some settings. Not sure if I just dot a defective heater.

This little, inexpensive heater puts out a fair amount of heat for its size. I used mine to heat my motorcoach (about the size of a small apartment) and it performed really well. The fan was quiet (like white noise) which, at bedtime, was quite soothing. Unfortunately, the pedestal base is inadequate for this fan. Mine tipped over too many times to count, and was very unstable (tipping over at the slightest vibration). To make matters worse, there was no safety cutoff. If the fan tipped over, I had to be Mr. Johnny-on-the-spot and right it before it burned a hole in my carpet. The last time it tipped over, it took me about 10 seconds to get to it. By the time I righted the unit, the motor had burned out and died. No smoke, just dead. I took it apart to fix it, but it is unfixable. It's a powerful, efficient heater, but the design sucks. I will be buying another one of these (assuming the company doesn't swap it out for a different model, like one commenter stated), and I will be reinforcing the pedestal so the dumb thing doesn't tip over. I've tried a lot of heaters, and for the low price, this thing is a gem -just be sure to nail it to the floor!

It doesn't have a thermostat. I don't know where they got that idea from. I only needed a heater for a couple of months and this was on clearance at Target for $3.50 so I thought I'd give it a try. It'll heat up a room....eventually. And it's very loud, even though it's so small. I have to turn my tv up two times as high as usual when the heater's on.

I needed a sturdy "arm" to install under my patio cover, to get my hanging baskets out from under the shade and into the sun. I looked everywhere, and this looked about right. It was designed to install with the screw inserted on the "front" side, but I was able to do it from the back, so that the hook extended out. I have a gutter in the way on the sun-side; hence, a need to install from behind the patio support).

It's a great length, and VERY strong. I couldn't be happier with this solution.

Very easy to install and does a very good job to turrn a normally cold room into one that is very comfortable. The only downside is the thermometer. It seems to do the job of getting hotter as the number goes up, but the actual use of it to serve as a thermostat for the room is not so great. I might consider an external thermostat for my next version instead of it being built in. Overall, a good heating solution for a small to medium sized room.

This is a very elegant heater for small spaces. It's a nice matt white finish out of the box, and the textured ceramic finish is paintable. I bought this to replace the TERRIBLE Envi 220V heater a customer had me install (malfunctioned, right out of the box; customer service wouldn't accept the return without the box, nor pay return shipping in any case). The finish appearance, installation process, and the fact that the thing worked, were all refreshing improvements over the Envi heater. I was able to convert my 220V hard-wired connection to a shallow-wiremold surface mount 120V duplex receptacle on a 15A GFCI circuit breaker. At only 400W, there's no need for 220V for this type of heater, anyway. Now, the customer gets an extra GFCI receptacle socket so they could shave and use a hair dryer at the same time, if they wanted!

The installation in wall-board or flat masonry walls was very straightforward using the supplied integrated-standoff-and-wall-anchor device.

Single-use anchor/standoffs could be a problem for some users / applications

Should you be mounting to a wood wall (maybe you shouldn't, due to heat or potential malfunction and fire?) or some other material that does not support an expanding plastic anchor fastening method, you may be out of luck. Also, measure three times before drilling for the anchors (masonry bit supplied) or installing them, since the unit ships with only the 4 you will need, and you won't find anything that will work as a substitute at the hardware store. Don't lose, use in the wrong location, or break these anchor/standoffs!

Thermostat defaults to 72 whenever power is cycled off and back on.

The integrated logic-controlled thermostat seems to work well, although it does not remember the user setting after cycling the power off; it defaults to 72 degrees Fahrenheit as the set temperature when turned back on. Setting memory would be nice in case you want to operate it through a wall-receptacle timer device. 72 is not too bad a default setting, but users may wish they had more options to set their own target for when the timer turns the unit on again after down time.

Not for use in bathrooms?

The instructions state that the unit is "not intended for use in bathrooms or other areas where users could be in contact with water while operating the unit". I presume the manufacturers don't trust your existing receptacle to be GFCI-protected (many older bathroom, laundry, kitchen and basement receptacles are standard type where they should be GFCI-protected due to the likelihood people may be solidly grounded to water pipes or wet masonry floors while contacting the receptacle device, it's cover, or a cord-connected appliance that has a dangerous ground-fault. I consider that when connected to a GFCI in a plumbed location like a bathroom, the T400 U unit should be safe to operate.
