How many times I have lit a fire, not knowing that the damper was CLOSED. Now it is perfectly obvious when the damper is closed. A secondary benefit is that one does not have to touch and grab the soot-covered handle of the damper in order to open or close it. I saw a similar product in a local fireplace store at twice the price. THANKS Amazon.

There are lots of reviews here, but only one mentions the noisy transformer problem, so I would like to share my experience with that.

We purchased our first queen Soft Heat mattress pad from Costco about 6 to 8 years ago. At that time, the electrical connector on the pad was smaller than it is on newer versions. After a couple of years, we noticed a faint burnt odor and saw that the connectors had become brown. We contacted Soft Heat, and they immediately sent us a replacement mattress pad with new controllers and an updated connector that was significantly larger. We have not had a problem with the connectors since then.

However, at some point we started noticing a strange noise in the middle of the night. It sounded sort of mechanical and sort of melodic, sometimes like an ink jet printer in the distance, or sometimes kind of like a telephone dial tone. It was one of those sounds that is really hard to locate the source of. It was quiet enough that we thought it was coming from farther away. Finally, weeks later, we held the Soft Heat transformers up to our ears and realized that they were causing the noise. Even when the mattress pad was turned off the noise would be there, and could only be stopped by unplugging the transformers.

We contacted Soft Heat, and they immediately sent us replacement transformers. The replacements also had the noise problem. We contacted Soft Heat again, and they said that their engineers were aware of the noise problem, and were working on a solution. This was maybe in 2008. A recent reviewer stated that the transformers are still noisy as of March 2010.

We decided to plug the transformers into power strip next to the bed, so we could switch them off in the middle of the night. This solved the noise problem in an inconvenient and inelegant way.

If it weren't for the noise, this would be a five star review. They heat well, and we don't feel the wires when we sleep.

The noise is subtle, and it's possible we only noticed it because our street was super quiet at night. But, once we heard it, we found it hard to get to sleep until we had stopped it.

Based on my experience, most if not all of the Soft Heat transformers make a noise. I think other reviewers should hold the transformers up to their ears and report back on any noise they hear.

The good: the concept is awesome you push the button when you start getting ready for bed. The first 15 minutes the unit goes to high and the sheets are toasty warm when you hop in then the unit goes to the setting you selected. Both my wife and I found that LO or 1 was plenty! If you get up in the morning and forget to turn it off... it then turns off after 10 hours. All in all terrific concept and warms things right up.

The bad: the transformers... since the unit is DC there are transformer boxes that sit on the floor. The issue here with both transformers is the high pitch whine / buzz that they make when converting AC to DC. That sound is made worse by the on/off cycling that the unit does based on the temp setting (cycles off more on LO than on HI). There is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it short of unplugging.

The awful: The manufacturer said some sound is "normal" and since both units do it it must be normal. So back to Amazon it went.

Very disappointing because it was nice getting into bed with warm sheets but then not being able to fall asleep because of the horrible sounds... well... you get the point.

This product could not be improved upon. It is soft, you feel no wires. It has a wide range of heat settings. I have not gone higher than 6, which is quite warm, but 1 is very mild, barely perceptible. Although it's a little pricey, I am not sorry I sprang for it, as it allows me to do with minimal heating of the room over night. I'm also happy about the reputation for safetybecause it is always stretched flat, it cannot bunch into a ball, overheat and catch fire as an electric blanket can. Also, unlike how it is with an electric blanket, the heat feels as if diffused throughout the bed, rather than localized in the heat source.

I love this product. I have ordered this mattress warmer for each family member. This warmer never has hot spots. I have had mine, just over 5 years,I wash it as directed at least twice a year. However I never put it in the dryer.I have a new one waiting in case mine goes out , I will have another ready to go.

When I had this warmer for a little over a year, the power box quit working. I notified the company , and had a replacement with in a week.I never want to sleep in a bed that doesn't have this warmer. Any one buying this product will find it much better than an electric blanket.

and safer too.

Everyone loves this pad except for the "transformer noise". The purpose of this review is to explain what is going on and how to remove the noise.

What everyone is calling a transformer is actually a switching power supply. A switching power supply does indeed have a small transformer in it, but the transformer is operating at 14-20 kHz (cycles per second), which allows it to be relatively small. The sound put out by a switching power supply is such a high frequency that many people will not be able to hear it at all. That is why some people say they hear nothing at all while others are bothered by it. My guess is those who find the noise annoying are people who do not listen to lots of rock music. Those of us who listen to loud music have long since lost the ability to hear sounds above 15 kHz.

If you own one of these blankets and wish to get rid of the sound, put a large soup bowl or other bowl over it. The bowl size must be large enough to avoid an overheating of the enclosed powersupply. First time you try this, check to make sure the power supply is not getting too warm. High frequencies will not escape from underneath the bowl provided the power supply is on a carpet or placed on a hand towel.

A safer alternative to the bowl approach is to find a one foot piece of metal pipe with a diameter large enough to put the power supply inside. The pipe will not transmit the high frequencies effectively, and should remove the noise. If you can still hear the sound, try putting a hand cloth in the end facing out. The pipe should be metal to avoid resonating with the power supply.

Finally, if all else fails, buy an acid rock CD and listen to it full blast with earphones. I promise you will not notice the "transformer noise" again.

It was hard for one person alone to assemble and the directions provided could have been clearer. would certainly not recommend but I guess I am stuck with it, since I don't want to go through the return process. Also, there were quite a few dings in the tv stand.

This product was exactly what we needed for my son's apartment so that he could store all of his electronic equipment in a more organized manner. It is very sturdy, but had several nicks and dings, particularly in some of the corners. I realize that is probably a shipping challenge, but it also is a problem with how it is packaged. The color is very dark, probably more black than brown which worked well for our use. The product itself is very good and I'd recommend it. Shipping without damage is the challenge due to the packaging. For the record, the damage was not severe enough that we felt the need to return it, but we did use a black magic marker for some of the repairs. If we had been placing this in a very visible location, it would have been more of a problem.

I bought this to heat up my cubicle, and while it does heat up, it's rather noisy. It's a lot more noisy than I thought it'd be, even when I have it on its lowest setting. I wanted a discreet heater and it's definitely not that. I'll be taking this home to use in my bedroom over the winter, but will have to find another one for work.

Great heater, only uses 750W compared to the normal 1500W. The only downfall is that it's a bit loud. Although I do have it in our babies room and he isn't bothered by it. The feature I really like is that it will shut off once it gets to the desired temp and come back on if it goes below the temp.

I had a 1500w that I was using in an office environment. Every time it was plugged in, my office and 4 others would lose power because the heater was throwing the breaker.

After looking online I saw this low wattage heater and tried it. Not only does it not throw the breaker but it has a high heat output for its size.

I would recommend.

I bought this for my animals. I have several reptiles and their heaters weren't adequate during the very cold nights. I like that it has a temperature control, it will maintain the selected temperature, but it is just a dial with no numerical values. As in other reviews I saw that it was loud, it sounds like a fan.

I don't normally write reviews, but I just had to! This fire looks and acts just like a real fire I saw the video on you tube and couldn't really believe that an electric fire could look like that well, it does. I am truly amazed at it. I do not know how they do it! I was originally looking at the gel fires, but saw the cost of the cans and I knew we would rarely put it on. This fire comes with a remote and after filling the small water tank, you even get a smoke effect!

I started out with a little Holmes heater that was $5 cheaper that i got from wal-mart, but the thing was horrible, took forever to heat up a little room even.

I was skeptical of something that looked decent, and assumed it wouldn't perform all that great... but boy was i surprised.

Heats up real quick, nice auto temp set of 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, and 'Max'.. along with manual settings, and oscillating that creates no more noise than the heater does, which is minimal for a space heater. Also has 4, 2, and 1 hr timers on it.

Only downsides, it beeps loud like a microwave with every button you touch, which gets annoying, and it would be nice if they made space heaters with 24 hour timers on them, to plan heating for when i wake up, but none of the kind exist.

Great buy, i think it was 40ish from wal-mart, very happy with it.

Very happy with this purchase. I previously owned the Lasko 755320 Tower Heater with Remote. That one lasted about 5 years and when it was time to replace it, I purchased this one, Lakso 6410.

The reasons I got this one instead is that for me personally, I found the remote unnecessary and never used it.

This one heats just as well as the Lasko Tower with Remote, takes up less space, more attractive design and cost less.

Many people have ask questions regarding increase in electric bill. I have found that if you do not use the oscillating function you will not see much of an increase in your electric bill.

But with using the oscillating function you will see a bigger increase in electric bill. Not sure why it cost so much more to oscillate but that has been my experience.

Basically when running this heater my gas bill has decreased by 70.00 and electric has increased 20.00.

So overall it saves me about 50.00/month. But it not only saves me money every month it also increases the temperature in my home to a nice, toasty, comfortable level without the fear of a HUGE gas bill.

Just remember, nothing can replace a little weather stripping around your doors/windows and sealing off drafty spots to keep the warm in and cold out.

But Lasko heaters are a great and dependable product that will help increase the temperature inside your home at a minimal cost. Ceramic heaters cost less to run that regular electric heaters, always get ceramic.

UPDATE: 12/26/2010 Since the cold weather is kicking in and people will be looking for new space heaters I wanted to update this review.

This product is still working great but the one problem I have found with it compared to the Lasko Tower I did own is this.......Being in the south, we have no basements, therefore from the floor up to about your knees, the temperature is always colder. Because this heater is smaller in height than the Lasko Tower even if the temperature in the house is at 70, if I set the heater at 70, it wont shut off because it doesnt realize the temp above it is warmer. The Lasko tower heater due to it being taller would adjust better to the rest of the temperature in the house and shut off. So I have to set this one at 65 and when the house reaches 70 it will then shut off.

So if you live in a home with no basement, this is something to keep in mind.

My next heater will be the Lasko Tower with Digital display.

I like this one, it looks good but I liked the Lasko Tower more because it worked better for my personal situation.

If you have a basement this is not a problem you will probably experience. But for those of you who live in the South, you know what I mean and its something you may want to consider when purchasing.

Also DO NOT use this with an extension cord. It will heat up the extension cord to potentially unsafe levels.

After receiving a gas bills of around $250 for two months in a row (and I live in Houston, TX, not in some ultra-cold climate), I decided I needed to do something about the drafts in my house besides just turning up the heat. I researched a number of small electric heaters and finally decided on this one. I have now been using it for about 3 weeks, and even though I haven't received my new gas bill, I am quite sure it will be substantially lower because I've been able to keep the house thermostat low while just using this heater to warm the room I'm in.

Here is what I LOVE about this heater:

* Design it is nice to have something that it attractive sitting in your living room, rather than a plain white or silver tower. Plus, it's fairly small and lightweight, and so it's easy to take from room to room.

* Thermostat this is my absolute favorite part of it. I just set it to the temp I want my room kept, and it will turn itself on and off as needed. I use this in my bedroom at night...it's wonderful!

* Low/high sometimes I just want a little heat near my feet while I'm working at my desk, and I don't want to run it at full 1,500 watts, so it's nice that it has a lower-energy 900 watt setting.

* Quiet, oscillating fan this heater is less noisy than most fans or air purifiers...it's a very quiet hum...and the oscillation is nice because it helps heat a wider area more quickly.

* Price you have to love something that keeps you warm wherever you are, for just $40, compared to gigantic winter heating bills!

I am absolutely THRILLED with my purchase of this heater and highly recommend it!

PROS

This heater looks great and heats up a room quickly(25' X 15' < 1 hour) its big and tall

great for large rooms

CONS

not so great for small bedrooms (hard to regulate temperature)

when u first plug it in you need to press like 5 different buttons to get the settings u want... annoying loud BEEP every time you press a button

only oscillates 90 degrees.

not a true thermostat... more like a glorified timer

Want Lasko 6410 Designer Series Oscillating Ceramic Heater Discount?

To start, I must say that my TRUE rating is for 3.5 stars...the heater is just not good enough for me to round up to 4.

This heater performs as expected. We have the item in our master bedroom due to a redesign of the space, in which the heating vent was moved near the door which allows the heat to escape to the return vents in the hall before it circulates the room. We're in Atlanta, and the nights get pretty cold during the winter months.

The room is 12 x 16, and with the doors (to the hallway and master bath) closed, the room gets plenty cozy with the space heater on high. On low (which is just a lower heat setting with the same fan speed), it gets there, but just not as quickly. However, with the doors open, the area immediately in front of the heater gets warm, but the rest of the room barely feels like its even on. In short, if you're using this to keep a medium sized, closed area warm (just about any bedroom) then this space heater will definitely get the job done and is worth every penny. But if your 'space' is a small part of a large space, don't expect it to even keep the 'area' warm. We need a space heater for a finished basement sitting area, and don't plan on purchasing this one again.

Here are my pros, cons, and comments on items other people have mentioned:

PROS

Design does fit into typical room decor. Doesn't stand out like typical space heaters do.

Oscillation is a nice feature. Its true that it doesn't turn much, but it turns enough to cover a good area.

Timer is a great feature. All space heaters should be equipped with this.

The unit itself does not get warm, which is a plus. Makes for easy handling, even immediately after use.

Radiates good amount of heat for such a small unit.

CONS

Thermostat doesn't seem to be sensitive or accurate. Setting it to 65 degrees (with a digital thermometer in the room), the unit didn't shut off until ambient temp was 73 degrees, and turned back on at 68 degrees.

Again, gets a medium-size, closed space warm, but anything more than that is asking too much of the unit.

Unit needs to be on to maintain warmth for longer periods.

Even though I don't expect it to keep a large area warm, I would expect it to keep a small portion of a large area warm based on its location. However, it doesn't stand up to that test (Why? I am not sure). If the area is not closed off, you might as well try to keep warm by burning a candle next to you instead.

COMMENTS

Some reviews complain about the power cord getting warm, and even hot to the touch. We have run the unit for about 3 continuous hours, and after that, the cord is relatively warm, but not alarmingly warm. I can't attest to how warm it would be after 5+ hours of continuous use, but I don't consider that to be 'normal' use either. If its a major concern, shut the unit off and unplug it for a few minutes here and there, or set the thermostat lower so it shuts off more frequently during extended use.

The fan noise generated is really white background noise. My fiance is a light sleeper, and it doesn't seem to bother her at all. Its no noisier than the heat coming from our vents. Not sure why some reviewers have an issue with this.

At first I was a bit skeptical about ordering fireplace screen online. The fireplaces in our new home are all custom designed and so are much taller and wider than average size. We have been searching for the right ones that would look not just elegant and classy but also not so ridiculously pricey. After looking for months, I finally I went to Amazon to check out the options. When I came across the Toscana Fire Screen, I just fell in love with the looks and its price seemed to be also a real steal. I checked out the reviews and ordered it right away. The service was pretty good. The delivery was fast and the product is just amazing.. quite sturdy and high quality. It will last for years. I checked for any damage. There was none. The set-up was very easy. Within minutes it was up and looking so gorgeous in our library. I could not believe how little I had paid for it in comparison with the similar kind at other stores ranging around $200-$300. Wish I had ordered it much earlier than wasting time looking elsewhere. YES, I recommend this fire screen with 5 stars. Please get this one for your home without giving it a second thought. All the best!

These decorative matches are very pretty and just what I needed to match my room.

There were so many choices its hard to pick one, so I'll be back to purchase some more of these for other rooms

APOLOGY: To anyone I led astray with my original review, I am very sorry that I said these matches light easily. That was when I first got my order of three boxes, and the first few matches I tried lit beautifully. But a few matches into the first box, I started having trouble getting them to light and my ultimate success rate was very poor. The second box I opened did not contain one single match that lit. I have not opened the third box, yet.

These matches are for ARTWORK ONLY. The matches themselves are not functional. If you want a unique matchbox spice up the decor of your home, these are great. The artwork is really unique. However if you want functional matches, look elsewhere because these do not light when struck. They sputter and spark and then go out. You cannot use them to light candles or anything else.

I am a big believer in the old fashioned "bathroom match", but didn't like having a junky looking box of matches in my powder room. These match boxes are beautiful and really add to the look of any room they are in. I just replaced the nonfunctional matches with ones that actually work and they are fine in the bathroom.

The negatives are that they are very expensive for the amount of matches you get and unfortunately the matches don't light. I had been willing to buy them for the artwork on the box, and refill with cheaper matches when the originals are used up, but when it came I realized that there is only one striking surface on the side of the box (instead of two like on most matchboxes). This means that the box itself has a limited lifespan, and when the striking surface is worn down, the box must be discarded. My plans for reusing the box are not going to work out like I had hoped.

Still, it is pretty and classy looking, and if you can afford SIX DOLLARS for a small box of matches that don't light then I highly reccommend these. I love looking at them and get compliments from guests. It is a quirky addition to my home and I think little details like this are what make a house interesting.

I bought these matches for my wife so that she could have an attractive box of matches to keep near some candles. The matches were pricey but I thought they might be worth it. I was wrong, About half of the matches in the box won't fully light. They start to light when you strike them but the coating on the head just fizzles out quickly and no flame ever appears.

The box designs are nice but who needs matches that won't light?

I am very happy with the finished product. It looks a little better in real life than in the pics--looks more expensive than it was, especially considering that it is one of the least expensive offerings of this type of product on Amazon. Has a few glitches though. The one horizontal bar across the front that helps to frame the fireplace was too long, and I spent some time with a couple of sheets of sandpaper to get it to fit. Also, it is supposed to be a media center as well as a fireplace/heater. However, the instructions make it very clear that the heater insert needs to be on a dedicated circuit. Therefore, you need to have an electrician put in a outlet just for the fireplace, so that you can use your other outlet for your electronic media. It really does heat well, though, so for me that will be worth the expense. Make sure to measure your space, since this piece is bigger than it looks.

This model, the 370 ceramic heater, is the best so far. The thermostat works the way it should. The older models that Honeywell makes like the 339, and 341 work well, but the thermostat doesn't work the way it should.

This new model, the 370, works absolutely awesome.

Don't buy the oil filled model. I did some detailed testing with thermometers and timers. The ceramic model heats the room twice as well as the oil filled.

I use all my heaters every day for about 6 months per year. Take my word for it, this model is great.

The plastic will smell for a few weeks though. That seems unavoidable with any model unfortunately. Just run it in the basement or garage for 15 minutes per day for a few weeks and the smell is gone.

Buy this model and you won't be disappointed.

We bought several heaters and tested them out over the last 3 years. We have 2 little girls and use them to keep their rooms at 69 degrees at night (Wisconsin has some long winters). The others we tried were complicated to set or program, but this one is easy as pie. push the center dial, turn to the desired temp and if you want eco mode. That's it!!!!! It heats their 13'X12' bedrooms with ease, I would even say it would heat rooms up to twice that size. The first one we bought over 3 years ago and it is still going strong.

In Closing, if you are looking for a heater, look no further, spend a little extra $$ and get this model it is worth it

I bought this heater for my mother. It had to be easy to operate and automatically shutoff in case of falling over. This heater does everything I had hoped for and it heats the room quickly and quietly. I'm very pleased.

Hi, My name Is Mr. H. Patel and this is my first review on amazon. I never get a chance to write review. But i like this heater so much. I bought this heater from Walmart in clearance for $20 in March-2008. Since 2008 i am using it in 18 X 15 feet room and it's work's great. I am living in northern New jersey where winter is so brutal. sometime temp. drops down in -10 degree Fahrenheit. But this heater never gave up. It has nice thermostat control which turn on of in +/2 degree range of set temperature. Looks tiny but very powerful. also it has tip over safety feature works great. I have carpet in my all room. and i am putting this heater on small stool in corner it works for me.

After 3 winter i used i just cleaned it by opening it's panel from backside. Obviously it has lint kind of stuff clogged on top of ceramic element. I cleaned it now it's ready for 2011 winter.I recommend clean it every 2 years so it will not use extra electricity to heat it up room and work efficiently.

Want Honeywell Oscillating Ceramic Heater, Gray, HZ-370GP Discount?

The Honeywell HZ-370 GP Electronic Ceramic Heater is "just the right size" if you are looking for a compact heater with a stylish design. It can be used for both floor and table top. I especially like the modern, streamlined body of this heater. There is a digital window which shows the room temperature, an energy saver button, a timer which can be set for 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours. Also, the temperature can be set from 45 degrees to 80 degrees, and the heater will turn off when that temperature is reached; it will be displayed, and then blink. It will then turn back on when the temperature drops below the desired setting. There are two heat settings 1500 watts on high, and 900 watts in the energy saver mode.

By pressing the button on the top, the heater will oscilliate. There is a recessed handle on the top for convenience. It is equipped with several saftety devices and has a tip-over switch that disables the heater if tipped over. An Alert Heat Indicator Badge on the grille turns from black to red when hot. A high temperature safety control prevents overheating, and a back-up thermal circuit breaker will shut down the heater if operated a higher than normal temperatures. Also, the heater runs fairly quite for the amount of heat it puts out.

I was impressed with the many features of this heater and how efficiently it performs. It puts out ample heat for the size. If it came with a remote, it would have received 5 stars. This is the only feature it lacks, and I would have preferred to be included. Great little heater!
