Hot water in my flask doesn't stay hot enough for a whole day out, and this is a good way to bring my tea or coffee up to temperature. I haven't tried heating water from cold it is always at least warm when I start. It takes several minutes and the wait can be a bit tedious, but it does a good job. The clip which is supposed to hold the heater onto the side of the mug doesn't (it flops about), so I have to hold it to keep it properly immersed. It cools off quickly and is reasonably easy to clean with a small brush.

This is a good product. I use it in a stainless coffee mug in the car. Sometimes the cigarette lighter plug on the Road Pro will melt if you leave it on too long. Radio shack part number 270-1521 is a much more robust plug. I just crunch the old plug up and cut the metal tabs with the wires soldered to them from the original plug and put them in the holes in the Radio Shack heavy duty plug and it is fixed and lasts forever. I leave the LED connected and it indicates when it is plugged in.

Great gadget. Much better than the plug in mugs that fail quickly.

I purchased this item as a gift for my son. He is an over the road truck driver and I thought this would be nice so he could make coffee of a morning. He used it twice and it burned out. It may be that it was just a defective product, but on the other hand at a cost of about $12, it is not worth taking the chance. I would have returned the product, but it may be months before I see him again, and he had already discarded the packaging. My loss could be your gain. Don't buy!

I bought this item to heat water so that I could keep hot coffee during a 5-day cross-country road trip. (Without having to pull over to purchase it...) The product specifications indicates that the so-called "metal" clip would attach neatly to most "CERAMIC" coffee cups. Firstly, the "metal clip" is NOT METAL but some type of hard plastic. I chose a ceramic cup with the narrowest rim to be sure it would accomodate the space allowed for the clip to engage. However, as soon as I placed the clip on the rim of the my cup, the clip snapped off! (With little or NO pressure!!)

I just finished the trip on Saturday Sept. 4th and any hot coffee during my trip was purchased from various vendors enroute so I wasted $16.98 on the item and shipping cost. WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!

Although the other reviews were not promising I gave it a chance. Wrong! The heater was in pieces on arrival, the tip was unscrewed. I put it back together, used it once and the tip melted. I had used the 110v units years ago and although they didn't last very long, I decided to give this a chance, as I work from a vehicle. Don't waste your time or money.

The pit looks great just like in the picture. Sturdy construction and nice attention to detail. It's probably the best pit you can get for the money. However, the main reason why I'm writing this review is not because of the product, but what happened when I ordered. Yeah, I know this is supposed to be a product review, but bear with me.

FedEx had delivered the box in a sorry state. The deliveryman basically gave me a tattered ruin of a box and said sorry. When I opened it all up, the table was missing a leg and the mesh grille top was dented and mangled. Who do I call about this? FedEx? Amazon? Uniflame, or the distributor in Illinois? I decided to call Uniflame first and I'm happy I did. Within three minutes I had ordered new parts for free, and was told to expect them within a few days. The customer service reps were extremely friendly and understanding and trusting of their customers. What a company should be. Thanks!

It's like having a campfire in your yard. I have a wood burning fireplace but the ashes, some smoke, and worrying about the tv have me hesitant to use it much. This firepit for the price is fantastic. The stone edging looks great. I was worried it would be too small, but it fits 3 pieces of wood just fine which is all you need. You COULD put 4 or more but it would be crowded and the fire would probably be too large. Put your feet up, sit a mug on the ledge and enjoy. DO keep some tongs or a poker nearby to keep stirring the wood but that's normal when burning real wood. It went together very easily though I used a 12mm(?) socket wrench instead of the included flat wrench. I have not used the cover while the wood is burning it doesn't look like it will stand up to much heat. But I think it's great for covering once the wood has burned and you have ashes/coals left. My wife and I can't stop talking about it and enjoying it and the kids like it too.

Some details:

The bowl does have a few holes in the bottom for airflow.

There's only 1 bowl so the bottom will get hot. Just watch the kids running around. Wonder if a double bowl would help.

The legs have rubber feet but are not adjustable in height so you have to rotate it until you find all 4 legs are touching the ground at the same time.

The copper accents are little copper squares inlaid in the tile.

The metal is painted and if chipped, might possibly rust.

Assembly is 2 screws for the handle on the cover, 4 cap nuts on each leg (16 total). All use lockwashers.

There's a small circular grill for holding the wood off the bottom (to promote airflow I presume).

I recommend getting a cover that has elastic or buckles. The cover I purchased has both.

I look forward to many evenings in the backyard.

I bought this fire pit as a result of the positive reviews. I have used this fire pit for only one season. I am able to bring it into the cellar so it doesn't sit out in the rain. (although i did purchase a cover for it too) I have had maybe 15-20 fires in it thru the spring and summer and it is slowly coming apart! The tiles are coming loose and then falling off! The material used to keep the tiles together is disintegrating with each use! Pretty soon I am gonna be left with a black shell and a bowl. VERY DISAPPOINTING!

We have enjoyed using the firepit, which is attractive and functional and easy to assemble. The carton arrived somewhat worse for wear, but the parts were all present and undamaged.

The main limitation is that the screen is fairly coarse (roughly 1/4" mesh), so small sparks sometimes rise in the air for some distance, and occasionally land outside the firepit while still glowing.

We have the firepit on our deck, over a fireproof mat, which is in turn on top of some concrete pavers. That is quite enough to keep the deck safe, but the firepit should not be used over bare wood, given how hot the bowl gets. It would probably not set a deck on fire, but it might well scorch it a bit.

This fire pit is the best quality of all the ones I have reviewed and have seen in action. It was so easy to put together. It goes great with the patio set I have. My husband and I enjoy sitting on the deck at night around the fire pit. The only thing I could recommend is that a poker with a lever for easy handling when taking off the screen should be included. You need to keep a oven mitt handy...

This product is great for grilling! I love the long length of the handles and the sleek design of the stainless steel and wood handles. They are definitely stronger and sturdier than other tongs, and can withstand higher temperatures for prolonged grilling. These are specifically designed for use with Live Fire smokers and grills, yet it is standard enough for uses with other models, just the same.

These tongs are well made, however, it is very heavy. It'd be OK for someone who was doing a large amount of grilling, however, it is too heavy and the spring is too stiff for my hands. I'm a senior and had a hard pinching anything so I returned it.

These are absolutely wonderful. I have an old one that I've been using for years, and I just bought the newest model as a Christmas gift for a close friend. She loves it, it has all the best features, including safety with a lock for the hot water, and choice of either button dispensing or pump-pot action; easy to use, convenient as you always have hot water for tea, etc., and I'm waiting for my old one to finally die so I can justify having a new one for myself. As far as I'm concerned, this is the best little appliance in the kitchen.

Having grown up in a household with a hot water tap, I'm used to having near-boiling water available at all times except on Shabbat, when, a rabbi told my mother, the tap could not be used (years later, a different rabbi, who had a different understanding of how the technology worked, told me it is permissible!). So once I was on my own, some sort of urn or electric pump pot was a must. I bought this one to replace an old one that died, and am pleasantly surprised by the new features, including the instant dispense button and switch (although they can't be used on Shabbat either, as they make a light go on, but you can still pump out water by pressing the original spot), and the concave front, which allows your cup or teapot to nestle up close. The price is right, the unit works, and my only concern is that I'll run out of water before Shabbat is over! In fact, I just bought another one as a Mother's Day gift and presented it today (now it can be told!).

There are some very good features in this air pot

1)It is smaller than older versions made by other companies with the same capacity

2) It has an electric pump to dispense the hot water

3) It is more attractive than the older designs

4) The price seems lower than the old versions

Some things that could use improvement:

1) The manual pump is like the old manual pumps and will probably eventually develop a leaky gasket

2) The manual pump would be better replaced with a lever action pump that does not depend on a gasket seal.

I like Japanese tea as the same as coffee and tea.

It can be used immediately, keep 3L boiled water and can be washed easily.

If a button is pushed, hot water will come out automatically.

I don't need more functions.

So, I'm convinced that it's enough lower price and stable so far.

We are very happy with our purchase wished we purchased it alot sooner.. Love it love it love it!!! I like the automatic dispenser button you can only use this feature if it's plugged in otherwise you have to use the pump. Overall, I still like my hot pot! Maybe look for a bigger one.

The great room in our addition is large and has high ceilings. This winter has been really cold and the furnace has been running non stop to keep up. The thermostat is in this room and their are two bedrooms above it. To keep the great room comfortable it turns the bedrooms into suanas. This heater has completely solved the problem. Now its comfortable on both levels. I like that the unit itself is not hot to the touch as I have small children. This is the perfect heater for our needs.

The item as described does not translate to the actual use and application for heating an area or space in proximity to the unit. With the inspection of the actual unit, it was quickly determined that the items contains very serious design flaws, thus rendering the heater defective. The unit is aesthetically very nice. However, the heater contains only 1 vent, located at the top of the unit. There are no vents on the side or bottom, which prevents actual heating of the area surrounding the wall space. Upon installation, the heat eminates to the ceiling (burning the area above the vent), and not outward. This is the primary defect! The heat does not project outward to the space near the unit, rather the ceiling above. This unit is ineffective for heating a space, and only serves as picturesque for a wall space. Additionally, this seller (Shadow Ridge Trading Company), should be removed from Amazon's list of approved vendors. The representative of this company is very rude, unprofessional, and very inappropriate. Moreover, the representative for this company, challenged my assertion that the unit is defective, and threatened to withhold my refund. This was insulting! I have never experienced this level of challenge with all my purchases through Amazon, regardless if Amazon was the "direct" seller or not. The unit as advertised does not correspond in any way to the actual use of the heater. Thank you for the opportunity to provide this feedback.

This works great for cleaning a dirty wood stove. I also tried this on old windows that had tree sap residue that would not budge with Windex, paint thinner, or anything else. For some reason I thought about this speedy white and tried it on the stubborn windows. Years and years of build-up came off the first try. Spray on, let sit for a few seconds, and wipe...clean as can be. But be careful not to get too much on the paint.

This Lifesmart heater is a good buy for me and I own just about every different type of space heater available. To start, don't expect it to heat 1200 sq ft, and don't expect the wood finish to be outstanding. The wood finish is not bad, but if viewed in direct sunlight you can see all the imperfections in the wood, though acceptable but not for a picky person. You can always refinish the wood, or darken the stain, so it does not bother me. The buttons make a beep sound when pushed, this could wake up the baby. The thermostat when cycling off and on make a faint clicking sound, this could also potentially wake up the baby.

Now for the good stuff. It is a super solid unit with nice smooth casters for rolling, weighs in over 40 pounds. The electronics are really nice, the thermostat has a 2 degree F. range. If you set it at 67, the temperature will go from 65-67, shutoff at 67 and then turn back on at 65. When it shuts off, the fan continues to push residual heat, the fan does not shut off.

I have a killowatt tester. On low it uses 940 watts, on high it uses 1360 watts, the fan alone uses 32 watts. Don't let the low scare you because the on off cycles can turn it to 500 watts or less.

It seems to push a lot of heat. I was expecting to feel the warmth of the infrared like a typical infrared heater. For some reason I could not feel the infrared, maybe most of it gets soaked up with the copper, but some must also come out. Maybe just not enough to be plainly noticeable.

I was originally thinking this would save me by taking over some work from the furnace. Instead it is saving me in a different manner. It is not powerful enough to heat my main area. I have a 4000 sq ft home. I found it works much better in our bedroom. We were using a space heater on high 1500 watts all night to supplement the furnace. I can keep this Lifesmart on low and set the digital thermostat and it cycles on and off and it does the job using under 500 watts. My calculations are at about a $50 savings per month using it in this manner. Just because it worked out for me, it does not mean it will work out for you. I was originally disappointed that it did not help the furnace with my main living area and was disappointed I did not feel the infrared. I was thinking it was a bad buy and no real use for it. Then I started trying to figure where it might work better, and am satisfied now.

One test I did, I took my next best heaters, a new model Lasko Cyclonic Ceramic Heater 5840 and a Lasko 5812. On a cold night near 0 night, I set it to 3 degrees above the rest of the house, and the most they could do after hours on high is 2 degrees above. I then took the Lifesmart and set it at 4 degrees above, and to top that off I set it on low. In 10 minutes it hit a degree warmer than the other 2 heaters could do in hours of work. So it is doing something, that's for sure. It is just not readily apparent as I would like it to be. I wanted to feel sunshine type heat. I didn't get the infrared feel. I am still very happy with the buy. I figure it should be free in 4 months of operation with the savings. I will recommend this to anyone who is not too picky on the wood finish. This ended up being my best space heater.

This heater works as advertised. I have had it more than a month so the electric bill came in and met my expectations. I turned down my 3500 sq.ft. home central heat from 71F to 69F. No use heating the entire house with all the kids gone. I use this heater for my bedroom during the night and set it for 73F. It brings the room to approximately 71F and turns off. Then it comes on for a minute for two every 15 minutes to maintain the temperature. I went to Harbor Freight and purchased a Digital Electrical Usage Tester to see how much power this heater is actually using. Turns out it uses 1350 Watts, 114 volts, and 11.8 Amps. If it stayed on all night this would be a energy hog, but since it only comes on approximately 4 times per hour, for a minute each time, the energy use is much less than my central air. Therefore my energy use went down for this past month since turning down my central heat and using this heater to heat my bedroom. Overall it met my expectations. Only one thing I had not anticipated is the smell of new wood and glue the first two weeks as the heater broke in.

I bought this heater, exact one for 170 shipped off a seller on ebay. This product works so well in my apartment (1000 sf) that we use it as our only source of heat. The built in heater that came with the unit was costing me 70 dollars in gas bills and up a month to heat the apartment in the winter. I was fed up with paying so much for the bill that I decided to take the plunge and buy this... I keep the unit on Low all day and all night. The unit peridocly shuts on and off (approx 1-2 min every 40-60 minutes) to cycle the heat around the house when the temperature dips below the degree listed on the face of the heater. Right now it is 40 degrees outside and my house is a comfy 72 (listed on the home thermostat, when the lifesmart heater is listed at 72). My new bill for electricity cost me compared to the previous month (no heater) only 10 dollars more, likewise my gas bill went down 70 dollars as compared to the previous month with the apartment heater on. Overall a really great product.

This Lifesmart heater caught on fire in the middle of the night. There were actual flames coming out of it. It was sitting alone with nothing around it within 3 feet. We drug it outside and put the flames out with a hose. It thankfully did not hurt anyone since the smoke alarm alerted us to the situation. It did cause smoke smell damage that is still present. The manufacturer was contacted and they wanted to replace it with a lessor type heater ($99.99) and offered $50.00 for the damage. They stated that in 99% of the time that this happens (does it happen frequently?) it is the outlet that is the problem. This particular outlet is functioning fine and there is no damage to it. The fire started inside of the unit, not at the outlet. The house has to be repainted and the furniture cleaned which will cost much more than $50.00. This has been an unacceptable suggested resolution from this company. I would not recommend this heater simply because of the manufacturer's statement that "when this happens" which tells me that we are not the first customer to experience this. If it was a first time occurrence and they were responsive that would be one thing. This sounded like it was just another incident.

There's nothing nicer than a warm, dry, towel. And in the summer this heater keeps towels from getting musty so quickly. But, our electric bill went up $40 per month and we didn't know why....until we unplugged the towel warmer. Now we plug it in long enough to dry the towels, or to heat them while we shower. Then we turn it off again. Other than being an electricity hog, this is a great product, and we enjoy the feeling of being pampered and comforted with heated towels.

I've been using the Hyde Park Freestanding Towel Warmer and Drying Rack for about one month. It appears to be very well-built it is sturdy and does not tip easily. Towels don't get nearly as warm as they would in a clothes dryer (a clothes dryer uses far more energy). However, it dries them thoroughly, allowing them to absorb more water far more quickly. I put a timer (about $10 at Lowes) on the receptacle, keeping the rack energized only a few hours before and after normal towel use times. This should minimize the impact on the electricity bill.

I live in Southern California and I really appreciate this unit. My husband and I had an apartment in Paris that had a great towel warmer. It's hard to describe the European warmer, but it had more surface area. My complaint with the few units I've seen here in the United States is that they have rungs instead of a tile-like surface heating area, and therefore aren't as efficient and don't do as good a job of heating/drying. However, given that the European units don't seem to be available here, this unit works well enough. We use it to warm/dry our towels, dry swimsuits, etc. without having to start up the clothes dryer. It's also very nice to have a warmish towel when you step out of the shower.
