I've had this window unit for over a year, and I really love it.

First of all, my bedroom is 20x15 feet, one wall has one huge window on it, the second wall separates my bedroom from the garage, and a third wall has THREE floor-to-ceiling windows. Obviously, my bedroom is scorching hot in the summer, and freezing cold in the winter.

I've needed a window unit for years, but was worried about the expense of having one. I shouldn't have worried. First of all, the window unit helps cool down the house, and so the main house unit doesn't work as hard. Secondly, there is an energy saver option to use, so that it only checks to see if it needs to come on every 3 minutes. Turns out that other than the initial cost of the unit, the upkeep cost isn't much different from before I got it.

I love the remote. I love not having to get out of bed if I get too hot or too cold. I had completely dismissed the remote as something that I would care about when I was shopping for window units. Turns out that it's the feature I love the most.

There are 3 problems with the unit though. First of all the plastic accordion thing is too short to completely go to the edge of the window. If your window is any sort of average size, that means you're going to have to plug that up with something (I used a flat board and some foam, which is very unattractive.)

The unit was hard to set up... the directions were TERRIBLE. I ended up having to get someone to install it for me.

Final problem is that the temperature gauge is on the unit... so if you have the unit set to 68, it will shut off if the air next to the unit is 68. A couple of feet away from the unit it may be 74. This is not something unique to this unit... ALL window units are like this.

Otherwise, it's an awesome unit. I love it, and never regretted spending the money on it.

Works well. Keeps a stand-alone bldg cool and warm 12' x 16'. First unit lasted 8 or 10 years. Replaced it with identical unit.

The through-the-wall window unit in our lake home went south. I shopped Amazon for all possible fits so as to avoid major construction. I selected this unit based on fit and price with my fingers crossed I wouldn't be sorry. I am not. I had only to make a couple cuts. The unit fits the area better than the one taken out and for two weeks it has worked wonderfully. I agree with another reviewer the directions are almost worthless. I finally threw them away. I installed the casing, slid the unit in and with some fiberglass insulation, moulding and caulking, it looks very nice. I just ordered another refurbished LW7010HR to replace our other Fedders through-the-wall unit even though it hasn't gone south. The decision was based on the fit, price and how quiet this LG unit is. We have used electric space heaters while at the lake in the winter. I'm hoping this unit will alleviate the need for a separate space heater.

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.

In my opinion, DeLonghi oil-filled portable radiators are one of the best options for safe, reliable room heating. There is nothing to spill, no open flames, and nothing gets so hot that it would burn you instantly. You don't have to fear falling asleep while they are heating. They're nicely designed and unobtrusive, making no noise other than the occasional tick or pop as the thermostat cycles and they heat up or cool down. I find this a comforting reminder that my heater is doing its job. No assembly is required other than rotating the feet out--just pop it out of the box and it's ready to go! The cord has a holder around which it can coil, eliminating the need to tie it up, and since you just wind the cord around it, you don't have to worry that some automatic retraction device will get stuck. This model can be used with the thermostat or without, and both are very simple to operate. All controls were easy to see, even in dim light, and the instructions were clear. It's very easy to move the heater from room to room, even if it is hot, using the little hand-hold. This heater kept a very large bedroom and bath pleasantly warm even on the low setting, while outside temperatures were 36 to 43 degrees, wet, and windy. The color is a tasteful grayish white with dark gray accents, so don't be turned off thinking this is "refrigerator white." I would definitely buy another DeLonghi like this one!

Last year I had 1 that only heated 3 rooms and one room closed off, set on 3 all Winter long, This year I purchased a 2nd one and all rooms are open and heaters are set on 2 and in November we had 19 days in the upper teens & chill factor was in the range of 20* below zero. Comparing my electric bills Nov. '09 and '10, my power bill was $33.00

lower, only $56.00 in my all electric apartment of 978 sq.ft. I am not cold, I sit in front of my PC in shorts & a t-shirt, shoes & socks. You won't be disappointed. The 1st DeLonghi heater is 7 yrs old & still works just fine, its a name that can be trusted. These heaters work better & cheaper than an a/c heat pump or baseboard heaters, I know. I live 6665' above sea level in Nevada and it does get cold & windy. A secret, "buy yourself a 6" desk-fan and set it behind a heater on the floor too warm a room 18' square, works wonders." I have 2 cats and they sleep in front of their own heater now, they have never been burnt. I am 76 yr old male. Try them, you can't go wrong...

Received this in the mail today. So far I'm pretty impressed. At first I was a bit puzzled regarding the instructions and all the switches and dials this thing has but once I figured out how it worked it was easy.

I'm using this to heat up a room that is approximately 10ftx20ft, and this room has a glass sliding door on one wall, and four anderson windows all together on the other two walls (the fourth wall connects to the house). The room does have a very small (about 5ft long) baseboard radiator but it barely heats the room properly.

I have this connected to a Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat, and it works great. I have it set at 76F and while the middle of the room (where this radiator is placed, dead center) stays at 76F the one side of the room stays at 74.5F (where the sliding door is, and it's 55F outside right now) and the other side 75.5F which is acceptable. I do have a ceiling fan in the room on low but I may need to add a floor fan in there to help circulate the air better and keep the temperature more even throughout the room.

Oh, and I have it set on medium power and it's doing the job quite well. It was able to heat a room stuck at 67-68F to 76F in just a few hours. Almost ten degrees...pretty good IMO. I was reluctant to set it at max power (the full 1500watts) over concern it may pop a circuit breaker. Setting at medium power (1,000watts I believe?) did the job. I'm using this heater to provide ambient heating for all my fishtanks to save on electricity (if I had heaters in every fish tank, I'd end up using 2-4x more energy than I would just simply heating the room itself). The advantage to what I am using this heater for is that the fish tanks absorb a lot of the heat pretty easily and keep the room warm when the heater is not on. Even if the heater were to stay off, I'm sure the room temperature would stay pretty steady for a little while before it starts to drop.

Here are the cons:

* The instructions suck... But if you just tinker around with this thing for a little bit you'll figure out how to use it.

* Not really a con but just a warning to potential buyers, you definitely want to heed the warning in the instruction booklet to let this thing run at full power either outdoors or in a well ventilated area for 2-3 hours because it does release an odor at first. But hey, all new products release odors...name one product that doesn't. New houses wreak of pine, cars have that new car scent or a leather scent, books smell like ink, etc. But definitely let it "break in" before you put it where you need more heat.

* I'm still not sure what the "ComforTemp" button does? And the instructions suck. Either way I just have the comfortemp feature shut off since I am using an external thermostat to control this heater.

Who would I recommend this to?

People who need extra heat in a room 200 square feet or smaller, are concerned about fire safety, and want a heater that is pretty reliable. This is the only type of heater I would trust to leave on in a house without being home. So far so good...

I've purchased two of these heaters in the last 6 months. I returned the first one after about two weeks of use because of the very unpleasant odor it was generating. I followed the recommendation of another reviewer (which is consistent with the directions in the owner's manual) and ran the heater on high for 2+ hours in a well-ventilated area to "burn off" whatever coating is applied during the manufacturing process. This didn't seem to help at all as the odor persisted for the next two weeks. Because I liked the heater in general, I decided I would try another one. I ran the second heater on high for two full days, hoping that this would permanently eliminate any odor. It didn't. Months later, the odor is there any time we turn this thing on.

This might not be a big problem if you are looking to keep your basement or your garage warm, but we were looking to use this in our childrens' room. Unfortunately the odor is just too strong and without really knowing the cause, it's impossible to feel good about having young children breathing in this environment.

Clean -no initial burning gas odors that we got with the DeLonghi EW7707CM. It takes awhile to heat up the room, but after an hour or so, you've got a warm room (this one heats a fairly large, 10' x 30' space). The ComfortTemp system, though, hasn't been of much use to us, as our space can get pretty cold (San Francisco) and seems to need more heat output.

We've had it for nearly 2 months now, and have had no problems. It's also nice that it requires no assembly -the wheels fold under.

I wanted a fireplace screen that was freestanding, weighs enough so it won't slide much when bumped into by a pet or small child, had a mesh screen, not just the bars and was attractive. That's exactly what I got in this product. From a distance and depending on how the light hits it, the color is somewhat of a blend of black with a subtle goldentone to it. Very nice and at a reasonable price.

We received ours and are very pleased with the quality. Our fireplace opening is 30" high and 36" wide and it fits perfectly. It arrived earlier than expected which was anice surprise. It was in excellent condition and is really sturdy. Weighs about 14 pounds. Has a subtle brass tone to it, but looks black at a distance.

PROS:

Looks good. Does not look cheap.

Performs well to hold back the flying pieces.

CONS:

The 2 side panels have to be at an abolutely perfect angle to stand up. Depending on the width opening of your fireplace, this may leave a large gap on top between the wall of the fireplace and the top of this screen.

It flattens and falls at the slightest brush up against it. If my dog's leg taps it lightly as he is rolling around in front of it, the entire screen will fall on him.

I will not recommend this product around toddlers and pets, ESPECIALLY if the screen is warm. It is OK if children are old enough to understand to not touch it.

The screen itself is heavy. I am yet to understand why it loses its balance so easily at the slightest tap at it. May be having a thicker base on the center panel will not make it so susceptible to losing it's balance so quickly. Or make the hinges tighter so the side panels won't collapse so easily, creating a domino affect of collapsing the entire screen on a child or a pet.

We bought this to go in front of our first fireplace, mostly to keep the cat from going in the fireplace. It is simple with just enough decoration to look more expensive than it is. Feels sturdy. Haven't used it with a fire yet, but so far we really like it.

We bought this screen to prevent our young child from crawling over to our fireplace and making a snack of the gravel inside. It has done a great job of doing just that while also looking good. The only criticism I have is that there is no way to lock the two sides. As our son would push it against the mantle and it would begin to flatten out and threaten to topple backwards. Just a warning to those with similar thoughts.

Box was in awful shape, screen was nicked from external damage. This is a large screen. Workmanship of the screen was excellent.

I love the design; the weight; the sturdy feel of this screen. I am reserving judgement until I see how long it lasts. It appears that the wire mesh on the front is merely glued on to the horizontal frame in the center. Since that is directly in front of the fire, I can't say how long it will hold. Otherwise, I love it!

The wonderful reviews we read about this product were all true. This screen is beautiful; the craftsmanship is solid and it nicely finishes the look of our newly remodeled fireplace. I was worried it might be too imposing, but it was not; it adds the right touch of elegance. It is certainly a little pricy but totally worth it!

We have a gas fireplace, but the glass front gets dangerously hot. We bought this to use so our toddler doesn't get burned. It's definitely worth the purchase. Not only does the screen not get hot, but it's very non-invasive and you really don't see it. It was the perfect size and our family and friends have actually commented on how nice it is.

This stool/table is a gorgeous piece of furniture. I ordered it to have a small side table, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. I've shopped (looked) in Asian furniture stores--anything like it would cost hundreds. It's well-made and all one piece. Nothing to put together and no parts to fall off.

I've added two photos. (Note, the great chair to the right was also ordered from Amazon.)
