This it the second that I have owned. The first lasted decades and finally gave out (the gaskets, mostly). This one is working well, has very little to no evaporation and the water level is easy to monitor.

This is the second order for the same model thermostats. The first was correct and is working as expected. The second order though for the same model, had a lower model shipped. The outcome, my heat did not work for a couple of weeks while I wrestled with the manufacturer who is not customer oriented. I will reuse the ETD620W1 shipped in small rooms and try to get the correct ETD620W2 model shipped this time. This could have been a catastrophe.

Have used many instant starting firelogs, some store brands and other name brands. Pine Mountain is without question the longest burning, brightest log available. Starts as easy as others, but truly burns a full 3 hours. Far superior to Duraflame and others. We use it with other firewood and it not only lights then, but oulasts our real wood. We burn four wood logs before using up one Pine Mountain log. Even made in a longer burning 6 lb. log.

These products are so much easier than wood it's nuts.

I just finished a case of these. They are very similar to another popular firelog, Duraflame. All are far better for the environment than the first versions of years ago. However, The 5# burns higher and brighter than I really want...it creates what feels like a _Violent_ fire.

The packaging is very easy to light, red arrows point to the exact 2 spots to light. That's it. I have no idea what the other reviewer meant...maybe they removed the packaging? Don't open or tear just follow instructions, it lights steadily and completely.

We prefer the smaller size log. My Sweetheart often brings one along with a bottle of wine and a movie when he comes for dinner. Both burn about the same time long enough to relax to visit, and also enjoy a movie. But the 5# log burns so much more brightly, it is a bit disturbing. May be better to burn a smaller one unless you get a great deal, or have a massive firebox.

Also Don't stack em. Burn just one at a time.

Consider the multi-colored version for special occaisions.

I installed the fireplace blower myself but had to confirm the wiring with the technical department at the seller. It came with instructions that were for Heatolator Unit but this was a Canadian made knock off. After assurances on how to connect the electrical hook up, thermal switch and fan control I installed it fairly quickly. It turns on about 10 minutes after the fireplace is lit. It will remain on until the fireplace cools as well. My only problem is that it makes too much noise it whistles even when set on the lowest speed setting. I am going to follow up with the seller tech and either fix this or hopefully return it.

The fan works great, but the instructions were horrible. The instructions were incomplete and I had to look them up online.

I paid for this product and never got it because they had it priced wrong. They sent me an email that said that they refunded my money and they were having it shipped back to them. I talked to them saying i paid for this product and it was mine how can they just take it back. I said if I went to Walmart and bought something and as I was walking out they said o sir we did not charge you enuf for the product and we are going to take it out of your cart and give you a refund.

The carrier is made of a cheap plasticlike material but the metal part of the carrier is useful. I will probably replace the actual carrier with a leather or canvas one but the stand alone was worth the money.

This has flimsy made weave with inside coating, it works, but so thin, it is obvious it won't likely last though the winter. I might just make my own out of heavy duty gore tex or denim and just keep the stand. If you don't use the carrier that often will probably be fine. Other than the flimsy weave, it is convenient for getting wood and bringing it inside rather easily.

This is a great tote and log rack perfect for the nights stack of logs. Holds 7 to 10 logs cut 22" to 24" inches long. The handy removeable tote makes trips to the wood wagon a breeze. I got this to use with my parents wood stove and it has worked out wonderful. If you can't or don't want to keep a large stack of wood in the house this is a handy and useful item.

The item works really well. The tote bag is not very strong got a hole about the size of a quarter after only one use. Still not a bad deal for the price.

When I ordered this product I didn't realize it was two pieces. I was surprised when I got it and realized that the main part of it is like a tote that you can put the logs in and carry them to the fireplace and it also serves as a log rack that keeps your logs handy for use. So it wasn't exactly what I expected but I do like it and it was less expensive. Right now I am living on unemployment so cheap is good.

Having owned three Vermont Casting Defiant catalytic stoves (Yes; I'm a very happy V.C. customer of 30 years), I can state that the STEELCAT is by far the best combustor I've ever owned. It does everything Condar states; Heating up MUCH faster than any of the OEM combustors. We immediately found that we are using less wood due to longer burn time. I waited six weeks before writing this review on it's performance. I hope I ham as pleased a few years from now if it also outlasts the V.C. orginal.

Purchased one of these to replace a crumbling ceramic unit. Seemed like a good idea at the time. At the end of one season, the stove became slugish and I was unable to engage the cat by the end of the season. Just pulled it out and the cells have corroded and disintegrated and completely plugged the unit. Be clear, this is not a creosote plug. Would not recomend this unit to anyone.

AFTER the season still feel it was worth the price . Worked like I had hoped ,stove worked like new .

Don't buy this one, buy the ceramic catalytic. We went on the reviews and bought the steel catalytic and it crumbled within 3 months. This winter (2011-2012) has been warmer than usual and the stove use has been lighter than in years past. We called Condar and they replaced it with the ceramic catalytic with no problem! We think that Condar is a great company and stands behind their products!

I purchased this 220 volt heater 5 years ago (Jan. 2008). It works great. I have used it a lot without any problems. I use it (wall mounted) to heat a 750 sq. ft. insulated shop area with a 12' ceiling. In my cold soaked shop at 41°F, it will raise the room temp.10°-12° in the first hour. It is relatively quiet, not annoying. A temperature controlled switch turns the fan motor off below approx.50°F. So, at ambient temperatures below 50°, the fan will cycle on and off until the room temp reaches about 48-50°F. When the heat reaches the desired temp, the fan and heater shut off. When the heater is turned off, the fan runs for a minute or two until it cools down. All in all, it is a great heater for this type of application.

Less desirable characteristics: 1. The temperature control knob is a series of dots in between "low "& "hi". You don't any idea of what temperature you're actually dialing in until you've had quite a bit of experience operating it. 2. The installation instructions are vague. I had to search around on the internet to find instructions on how to wire it.

After trying NUMEROUS space and room heaters, I will ONLY buy Vornado heaters from now on. The first month of the first year I had my new sunroom, I warmed it with the installed Sears air cond/heater and had AN ELECTRIC BILL OF OVER $600!!!! (Usual bill had been $200 in winter.) The second month brought a bill of almost $400. I tried them all; VORTEX IS THE BEST (back to under $200). Even with electric rates going up and up, my VORTEX Heater heats ANY ROOM to a toasty temp, quickly and safely and INEXPENSIVELY. It is SO well made and efficient; I am SO IMPRESSED. I'm planning to buy two more for specific rooms in my house that seem hard to heat so I don't have to keep moving my Vortex around. I look for bargains and try to only pay $100 for each heater; bought mine off of Amazon. Hope my experience will help someone else.

These heaters have a propensity to fail after a year. they never get "really hot", no glowing, wasteful 1500 watt machine... so why do the over heat sensors fail: I've had 4 fail like this. The company wants more to fix them than the purchase price. I like the idea... but inferior parts and 100% of 4 units so far (at removed the overheat sensors and they work fine... but I'd rather them work as they're supposed to).

This product is the bomb.

I have oil heat at home which is expensive to say the least. By using 2 of these little buggers I havent had a winter day in which my apartment drops below 70 degrees. (NO OIL CONSUMED)

Draws off a relatively low amount of energy running these 2 units at full time I only saw a $20/mo increase in my electric bill, PLUS a 5 year warranty!

Constumer service for these units is great as well, I had an issue with one, sent them an email with the product info in it and they mailed me a pre-paid UPS return label.

Each one of these units can raise the temp of a room/apartment by 5-10 degrees.

ADVISE: Once you reach your desired temp in your area, adjust the temp gauge on the heater/fan to what that temperature actually is. This will reduce the strain on the unit and increase the unit life.

Wow what a waste of money. Bought this for our travel trailer (24 ft). Thought it would heat it better than the little ceramic heater we normally used. We hunt in Idaho and Colorado and don't want to use the propane all the time. Soon as we get home I am going to try and return it. We bought it a couple of weeks before our trip and it was too hot at home to test it out. I we don't get good results I will add to this report. Does anyone know of a good small space heater that will serve our purpose?

This heater makes a large room toasty warm. Imagine how such a small and inexpensive heater can heat a large room on the canadian border. I wish I had bought three of then instead of just one of the Duraflame plus the DeLonghi and Honeywell heaters. This is an old house with little insulation. Main heat source is a valiant woodburning stove but it cannot heat two floors and does not really heat the main floor completely. Take a walk into the closed room with the Duraflame and you could be in Jamaica...well, at least in the American south. I normally would not write about appliances. I obviously was not systematic enough in my research. If you are reading this, forget high-priced space heaters and trust in the tiny Duraflame.

Though I work in a space with a central air system, sometimes my cube is just too cold. I picked this little guy up at Walgreens and he suits my needs perfectly. Hot, space-saving, powerful, and safe (auto-shutoff if the spaceheater is moved to an uneven surface), this Duraflame heater is highly recommended by me. I've owned it for about 4-5 months now and haven't had any issues.

I bought this heater to knock the morning chill out of a very small bathroom 5'9 by 5'11, that does not have any other heat source. It heats the space very quickly. There is no noise even when I put it to oscillate. The heater takes up very little space and does not look awkward or bulky. It's very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Very powerful for such a small and compact unit. I'm very pleased with the purchase. I bought it at Walgreens on sale for $21.00.

After much research and side by side comparison of heat output I determined that ceramic small heaters are the best. Do not go by watts . A 1500 watt ceramic heater will give off more heat than a 1500 watt coil type heater. I purchased this heater at bed bath and behind for $15 dollars after the five dollar discount coupon

I found this Duraflame 14T had decent to good reviews. The only question I did not have an answer to was how quiet it was. I had the hardware shop open it and plug it in. It was a quiet as one can imagine. I brought it home, plugged it in and smelled a hot smokey smell. I thought it was burning off the packing chemical/oils however with 3 minutes of turning it on, there was a "POP" sparks flew out the grill and it started smoking profusely.

I am returning it the same day I bought it and HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT PURCHASING THIS UNIT.

If you do, DO NOT LEAVE THE ROOM WHILE IT IS ON!!!!!!!!!

We are full time rv'ers and this is exactly what we needed for the campgrounds who do not have fire pits at each site. This is the perfect size, sets up quickly, tears down quickly and stores neatly and easily in it's bag. Perfect!

Click Here to Read More Reviews >>

We took this fire pit to a recent camping trip in the mountains. Comparing to the size of typical fire logs you can purchase, this fire pit was relatively small but not too small to ruin the experience. Our conventional fire logs of size about 22" x 4" couldn't completely fit inside the bowl, which made us think about being creative and supporting the top two logs with another smaller one that sat under them. This is why I gave it a four out of five stars: after the first round of fire, the bottom grid holding the support log was bent downward, due to the heat and the weight of the logs. While not a big deal, it would be nice if the grids were of better quality and thicker material.

The quality is on the better side of typical products out there however it's not the best. The folding legs are well-designed and stable with three spring pull-out pins that makes setting this thing up a breeze. The bottom of the pit and the edge are about 8" and 15" above the ground respectively so there is a maximum of 7" more or less inside the pit to play with. However the distance between the bottom grid -sitting on the bottom of the bowl to hold the logs -and the top grid -sitting slightly inside the bowl as well for grilling -is a bit on the smaller size (about 3") so there is almost no way you can grill something with some quality logs still burning. However after an hour or so of enjoying the fire, we managed to fit the grill on top of the remaining charred wood and boil some water for a nice round of hot tea. The top lid is hard to fit when there are logs in the pit.

The bottom line is that considering the price, the quality, and the portability, this is a very good fire pit for 2 to 4 people. Make sure you cut your logs into smaller pieces to maximize your experience.

I bought this fire pit to take with me on my RV trips. First of all, it folds up nicely inside a nylon bag that holds everything. The legs fold out and lock for a sturdy feel. It has a nice screen top to contain any sparks. It is made to also use as a grill but I don't plan on cooking on it. I just want to use it for ambiance reasons. It was easy to clean after use. This is a nice portable fire pit that can be used as a grill or just to sit around and enjoy the flames of a nice fire.

This fire pit is light weight and packs away nicely in an RV. It worked great for what I wanted to use it for, an RV park that didn't have fire pits. As others have said, my husband was amazed it didn't melt. Make sure your fire wood is very small since the pit is so small. I would only recommend this item for travel, and for the ambience a camp fire provides, not for cooking or for a permanent structure in your back yard.

Purchased this kettle back in December and have been using it ontop of my woodstove to humidify the air. First off, what's pictured is a bronze/gold colored handle; however, when I got it, the handle was actually silver. It was a little annoying, but it was no bigie for me. I bought this because it has a porcelain enamel finish so the inside would not rust (as opposed to traditional cast iron kettles without an enamel finish). Well, after about 2 months of use, it began to rust on the inside. I looked at where it was rusting and it appears the inside of the kettle was not completely finished in enamel (looks like they missed some spots in the coating process). Contacted the seller and the only have a 30 day return policy so I'm stuck with it. :( Too bad for me, but maybe not for whoever might read this review.

After having Amazon (Thank you Amazon) replace the first pot because it chipped during shipping due to weak packing for such a heavy item, we received the second pot and it went badly from there. They coat the thing in lacquer, supposedly to deter rust, and my wife spent hours trying to get it off the bottom and out of the inside. She never did get it all.

The top is way too loose and falls to the side and hangs and yes it was put on correctly. When you put the springy handle on the pot you have to be extremely careful not to let the pointy edges touch the pot as it will chip. Ours chipped pushing the handle end through the holes. We were stunned at how easy it chipped.

It is now an ornamental piece because my wife will never use it to heat water for tea and the chipped areas means it will not sit proudly on our wood burning insert hearth. I would look around first and make this your last choice. We are already looking for another pot (different brand) from Amazon.

We purchased this kettle as a humidifier for the wood-burning stove. The color is amazing and the kettle is sturdy. You will have to assemble the handle yourself and we found out why: it easily chips the coating over the cast iron. I made it worse by clipping in the handle, then realizing how it is supposed to assemble (lid loops over rear handle hole, metal ring over lid loop, THEN insert the handle). There were instructions for curing the metal, but not for assembly so in my eagerness to put the handle on I realized my mistake. The beautiful coating chipped putting the handle on as well as taking it off. I recommend the kettle, but just assemble it right the first time.
