We bought this item originally as an inexpensive, alternative heat source in the Winter, when we can lose electricity for hours, even days, when a bad storm rolls through.

It quickly became our main heat source -as unlike the two, 15,000 btu, electric space heaters we'd been using -this can heat a cold room within 30 minutes. And, all by itself, heats the entire house better than those two other heaters running together. And we only once turned it to the third setting. It usually stays on 1.

To clarify, we live in a very small space: 750 square feet in a very old, single-wide, with windows that no longer seal well. The weather here is moderately cold -we drop into the teens rarely, but stay solidly in the mid 20s-early 30s at night in winter. Days stay in the 30s. With the exception of if we have one of those storms, then all bets are off.

We ran this, with a little supplementary electrical heat during the day -I suspect if we'd got the 30,000 btu one, it would have heated the house completely, even on the colder days.

We don't run it at night, as it's in the living room. And because we're a little chicken of running propane when we sleep. But, in the morning, it brings the room quickly back to toasty -never more than 30 mins.

We installed it ourselves -with a bit of help from my uncle. Runs with two 50 lb=10 gal tanks. One tank lasts just about a week in the colder weather, and costs $24 to fill. So it's only a hundred a month -half what our heating bill was last year.

Last year, even with 3, electric, 15,000 btu heaters running, the house was never as toasty warm as it is with this propane heater.

Only note: If you use the tanks, only turn the knob slightly on. We found it eats through propane quicker if turned fully on. But has no apparent ill effect if the tank is only barely turned on.

And?

The blue flames are just lovely. :)

Highly recommended!

This has been a good little heater for me so far, I am using to heat a fish house. I'm not sure about the review stating that it need to be professionally installed though, to connect it to a 20 lbs cylinder (BBQ tank) you need buy a separate house with a regulator. It is available through Mr. Heater, part # F273072 (12' Propane Hose/Regulator Assembly), I purchased this at my local hardware store.

My only complaint on this heater is that the built in fan doesn't move any air. I'm not even sure why they put it in there, because it really doesn't do anything. I just bought a separate fan to circulate the air and have been pleased with it.

I recently installed this unit in my two car attached garage. I ran black pipe through the wall and attached it to a 20lb LP tank from my grill until I can get a bigger tank. The unit puts out good heat. It comes on at full so dont think you can adjust the output. But what it does do is bring the room up to temp then cycle off per the thermostat. Has some odor but I think that will disapate as it ages and burns off any newness. Battery operated ignition works very well. The only fault I find is the fan. It appears big enough but does not move a lot of air, design flaw perhaps. What it does do well is cycle on and off on it's own if you put it on the auto setting, good feature. I have not had it long enough to determin the gas usage, have my fingers crossed on that one. Overall I am very pleased as it out performs my electric ceiling mounted heater as well as a 23000 btu kerosene heater.

I have one of these heaters that I bought locally. If you want to connect it to a BBQ type jug you have to buy a hose and regulator. This is no big deal and anyone that has ever turned a wrench can hook this up.

Puts out lots of heat! I'm very happy with mine.

4D Concepts Deluxe TV Stand

I felt like I was shopping for a TV stand for years when I found this one and it was a great choice. For someone who has put together furniture like this before you'll find the setup is very easy and straightforward, took me about 90 minutes by myself (I'd recommend two people though, could easily shave off 30 mins with another set of hands). As someone with three small children I was very concerned with finding a stand that was sturdy and not a safety risk, I can't imagine a stand with legs any sturdier than this one... it's not going anywhere! I feel it looks even better than in the picture, it's certainly one of the nicest pieces of "put it together yourself" furniture I've ever owned. Packaging was also very good, not a scratch on it when I got it, and it would take quite a feat to mess it up in shipment.

Pros:

-Sturdy

-Higher quality door latches then similarly priced items

-Value from all the other stands I've seen this could easily sell for 2x as much

Cons:

-Glue! Gluing the little dowels was tedious, but adds to the sturdiness and clean look

-Height The dimensions are listed and are correct but my personal preference would have been something a bit taller, the image in the item description didn't help matters, just measure it out before you buy.

-Hardware Most furniture like this comes with a couple extra screws and dowels, not one spare to be found here, not that I needed it but there was a brief moment of panic when one of the screws ended up in the trash pile.

Bottom line, if you're looking to spend under $400 on a TV stand and don't need something 4' high, you cannot go wrong here.

I ordered this based on previous customer reviews on amazon.com and it did not disappoint. This is not a piece of furniture from a fancy store, so if you set your expectations right you will not be disappointed. It is well packaged, looks good, is solid and was easy to build. It took me a little less that 2 hours for the build (though I do have experience with a lot of Ikea furniture of all sizes). The instructions are very clear and there were no random pieces left after I was done.

Weber "Style" Pizza Stone

I bought this after a fair amount of research and reading other people's reviews on pizza stones. The main complaint seems to be that pizza stones crack due to manufacturing defects or operator error.

We needed a smaller pizza stone for a chiminea in a vacation home. Although this is a new product and hadn't been reviewed, I have a good comfort level with the Weber brand.

Although the pizza stone is intended for the grill, we used it in the oven as our grill isn't assembled yet. It worked beautifully, and the pizza crust was amazing. The metal tray that comes with it makes it easy to handle.

In fact, we liked it so much we are buying another for our other house.

I gave it four stars as I don't know how durable it will be, but my fingers are crossed.

It's a cute little set built out of quality materials. It doesn't wobble and you won't worry about stripping out screws during assembly, it's made of some thick steel stock and they include quality 1/4-20 button head allen screws. Everything you need is included and assembly is a piece of cake with the supplied tool.

Nothing in this set is flimsy. The shovel is thick gauge steel and solidly welded. The broom is this nifty looking barrel shaped thing that's narrow enough to not "oversweep the shovel" if that makes any sense. The whisk broom is narrower than the shovel, that's what I meant. It's straw that's hand-whipped with twine and they even wove in a clever pattern near the joint. I really like it.

What can I say about the poker, it's a poker.

The only things that are a little bit mickey-mouse are the plastic pads on the feet to protect whatever surface you put it on. It's not that they're cheap, they just seem like an afterthought on an otherwise great piece.

Lasko 5365 Ceramic Pedestal Heater with Remote Control

Customer Ratings:
List Price: Price Unavailable
Sale Price: $49.99
Today's Bonus:

This could be a very good heater option for some people, if the features fit what you need.

It takes up relatively little floor space, and the pedestal design puts the heater up a little higher, if that suits your needs. (A regular tower heater might be fine for lots of people, though.)

It's 30 tall" and the base is a 12" circle. The top part is about 7.5" wide at the top (the widest part).

Pros:

High 1500W (5118 BTU) and low 900W (3070 BTU) settings. And two fan speeds to go with that the fans runs more slowly and quieter on low which is a feature that's missing on many heaters for some inexplicable reason.

Quiet for a heater with a fan, especially on the low setting. (But that can't be used with the auto thermostat setting, see below!)

Well built, and well packed.

The light weight and convenient handle, at the top of the back, make it easy to carry and move around.

The controls are well placed, easy to read, and make sense they do the things you'd think they should.

The LCD shows the room temperature and the thermostat setting, exactly no guessing on a dial with marks around it! Both seem very accurate it matches a digital thermometer I have in the room.

Cons:

The biggest one by far for me the auto setting (to maintain the temperature you set) only uses high heat. Low auto isn't an option.

No automatic shutoff if it tips over. Maybe the overheat protection would take care of it, and it doesn't really get that hot but I'd think they'd want to have that in a heater with this design.

The base looks a little big 12" across but I suppose it has to be to make the pedestal work.

There's no auto low setting which was the main reason I wanted this heater, to have something quiet that could maintain the temperature in a bedroom at night. That would also mean it would switch on and off fewer times, and draw less peak electric current. Big oversight on the manufacturer's part.

Though otherwise, it's about as quiet as fan heater could be, I imagine. If you need something quieter, look at something like the DeLonghi HHP1500 Mica Panel Radiator very quiet, but the heat circulates only by convection (hot air rising), which might not work for all situations.

This heater requires some assembly of the pedestal and base. Just tightening some screws, really, but it's a little cumbersome since the top piece can't rest anywhere given the shape. Just plan on it taking ten minutes or so.

The manufacturers website, laskoproducts.com, has more info and you can download the owners' manuals in pdf form.

There are multiple model number versions of this heater 5355, 5365, and 5350 and as far as I can tell they vary only in the colors and what stores sell them. You can read lots more comments on a similar version of this heater at the HomeDepot website.

This heater works great! Now I have to give a little disclaimer: I don't have much experience with many different brands or types of space heaters. I do know however that this space heater kept a 20'x25' room at 85 degrees no problem. I should mention that one of the walls in this room is almost entirely windows (which lose heat quickly).

Pros:

-Comes with remote

-Is quiet (It sounds like a fan on a low setting)

-Heats well

-Space efficient (takes up little room)

-Very lightweight with handle (easy transport)

-Won't start a fire! (I touched the face of it and held my hand to it on high setting, it is warm but not painfully hot. The entire rest of the unit stays so cool it is amazing!)

Cons:

-Control Panel is only visible from almost directly in front (I thought there was something wrong at first because I couldn't make out anything on it)

-Timer Function: You may only set the timer to go for a certain length of time. I was under the impression you could set the heater to START after a certain time (e.g., to warm up the room before you get home)

Other than that I found that you have to keep it on oscillating to really keep the room warm, otherwise it only heats the area in front of it and continually switches to low power, never getting the entire room to the desired temperature. I went through a ton of these reviews on different heaters and one concern I saw in a bunch of them was that the power cord might not hold up (i.e. cause electrical fire). I got the heater for my girlfriend so I wanted to be sure this wouldn't be a problemI ran it for over 14 hours straight on the high setting and the cord wasn't even warm, so that put my fears to rest.

I've only owned this thing for about a month so I'll give a durability assessment later. If I don't change my review you can be sure that it hasn't broken downI will absolutely complain if this thing malfunctions within the next two years.

Update:

So she left it at her parents place over the weekend, and after setting it up they decided they wanted one for themselves. Just another testament to how well it works!

We try to reduce our heating bills by keeping upstairs doors closed, setting the furnace thermostat down and using space heaters for the room we are in. Last year I tried several space heaters. All but 2 stopped working. This year I bought the LASKO heater. After a month of using it I ordered another. We use them constantly. What we love about it: the base and shape of it, extremely quiet, heats a small room well, the timer feature and remote are very nice. Dislike: haven't found anything yet. If these continue working all winter, I will be very pleased. So far we have ran them to death and had no problems with them.

12/07/09 Update on this heater. I bought these two space heaters over a year ago. I covered them during the summer to prevent dust and the one other thing we don't do is use the oscillating feature. From trial and error with other floor heaters, that seems to wear them out quicker. Both these units are now into heavy use over the last month for their second winter. We have had no issues. I am about to buy 3 more because we fight over which rooms get these. My favorite things about these heaters are: (1) they are very quiet, (2) the timer feature, (3) physically do not seem to get hot like other heaters, (4) pedestal design gets the heat where you want it, (5) they work they heat a good sized bedroom. We've had no problems with either unit.

I love this heater.

It really does a good job keeping the bedroom warm. Sometimes I'll wake up and it'll be too hot that I have to turn it off... did I tell you that it comes with a remote control????

It's a great thing to have by the night table especially when you wake up in the middle of the night and don't feel like getting out of bed to shut it off.

I also love the fact that you can adjust the temperature to what you want and also how many hours you want it on for.

It's a excellent heater to have It's especially great for those of you who have Landlords that are too cheap to give you heat.

I had been searching online for a heater for months. I looked at every review. I got one at target for $50 and had it for about 1 month. The air started coming out cold once the heater felt the room was warm enough! Finally I started to borrow my roommates heater this one. It was awesome. Heats a room really fast. You can feel the heat right away. The cord gets a little warm when it's on too long but it turns off by itself if it gets too warm so no worries there. My roommate has had hers for about 3 years so I'm confident mine will last a long time.

Buy this! You'll be glad you did.

This is a great kettle. I've used plastic electric kettles for years but with concern about plastics in the food chain, I purchased this kettle. The design makes the kettle very stable on the counter. Wiping the kettle down with a microfiber cloth will keep the brushed stainless finish looking fine. Instructions say not to use vinegar to remove scale that builds up in the kettle. I do it anyway as I have done in all kettles I've owned. Boil 1 part vinegar and 5 parts water in the kettle, let it rest for awhile, pour it off and boil a pot of plain water to get rid of vinegar and scale residue and kettle will run quietly and efficiently. Enjoy!

Severe disappointment. This is the second of this model in less than 12 months on which the on/off switch has gone faulty. It's not true 'Russell Hobbs' like the old British days -that name was sold off. If you boil water only two or three times a day, this might serve. I use it an average of once every hour to 90 minutes, and the switch is not up to the job.

It's a relatively quiet, fast boiler, and is a handsome brushed steel finish. Be aware that the lid is a bit too snug, so you may need to adjust the tangs that hold the thing on (use needlenose pliers). It's attractive enough and stable on the base. To keep the inside clean, empty out the unit and stand it upside down with the lid off, overnight.

The fact that it's made in China is not itself a negative. It seems that most electric kettles, cordless or otherwise, do not live up to the reputation of their predecessors.

Got this oil heater from Target a month ago. I was dubious about these types of heater because of the smell. I placed it in the patio for 3 hours and brought it into the garage for another 2. The next day the garage still had some smell. Took it inside to the family room and the smell was all gone! I used the 1500W setting to burn of the smell but tripped the line plug switch. I only use the 600W & 900W setting for cost reasons.

I purchased this Holmes oil-filled radiator at our local store. I've owned several different brands of oil-filled heaters over the years. My first one was a Lakewood and it was an excellent heater. They don't seem to be available anymore. My second was a Honeywell with digital controls, likewise an excellent heater while it lasted. I also tried and returned two different DeLonghi heaters. Both DeLonghi heaters continued to put out irritating fumes even after the break in period. Alas, that was also the fate of this Holmes heater.

I unboxed the Holmes and set it outside, plugged it into the outdoor outlet and let it run on high for more than an hour. When I brought it inside it was still putting out fumes, but they didn't seem too noxious just a low level odor of warm plastic. My mistake. By bedtime, I didn't feel so good. The next morning I awoke with a headache. When I left the house my headache went away. When I came back, so did the headache. I turned the heater down to the 900 watt setting so I couldn't detect any more odor; however, the next day my headache was much worse and I was feeling nauseated. The Holmes was packed up and returned immediately!

I'm sticking with the Honeywell HZ-709, also available at Target. I brought one home and cranked it up the same day I returned the Holmes. It's running right now and I'm perfectly comfortable. I swear it puts out more heat. Best of all no fumes! It costs more, but it's worth the price. Apparently Kaz (the manufacturer) cares enough to use better quality materials which can withstand the heat without continually outgassing toxic fumes into the air you breathe. You can see my review of the Honeywell on its product page. Honeywell HZ-709 7 Fin Oil Filled Radiator Heater with Digital Controls Thanks for reading my review(s). I hope they are helpful.

I bought this item from Target on special offer as I thought this would be a useful background heater to boost the room temperature. It was easy to set up, simply clipping the wheels onto the bottom of the unit using the clamps which are tightened by hand.

The radiator has a variable thermostat to control the temperature and two separate power settings which can be combined to make a third. Settings are 600W, 900W or 1500W (both heater units on).

The surface of this radiator does get very hot, which is what it's designed to do, so I am not sure about the meaning of the phrase in the description that it has "specially engineered thermal fins to maximize heat flow, yet have a low surface temperature".

The radiator is easy to move on the wheels BUT I take away one star as it would be useful to have insulated handles on both sides of the radiator so that it can be lifted when hot, and not just one side for wheeling.

This shortcoming was noticeable when I had to move the hot radiator downstairs and so had to carry it with one hand on the insulated handle and the other on the opposite wheels. The unit is not particularly heavy so this was not a big problem, just an inconvenient design.

Other reviewers remarked that the radiator smelled bad, but we have not noticed this at all.

Overall I would recommend this product.

I don't like any of the heaters that have coils in them that glows red, just something about naked heat that scares me, therefore I decided to get one of these old fashioned oil filled heaters. I say old fashioned because these are the type of heaters that I see in old houses or pictures of the old days.

I too don't like the smell of burning radiators so before I plugged it in, I checked all around to see every like piece of packing plastic was removed and when I turned it on I did not get any burning plastic smell. There was some new smell of hot metal, but after a short time it went away.

Heatwise, I'm very pleased with this. I'm using it to heat a small room that doesn't have double paned glass and with this heater I don't even need to turn it on high. I just use the 900W button and turn the dial about 1/2 way and I'm fine. The heater does get pretty hot so I'm careful not to touch any metal parts. The best part about these oil filled heaters with a fan or any moving parts is that it's quiet.

Overall, I'm very pleased with this heater.
