I wanted a fireplace mantel for so long but everywhere I looked they were super expensive until I found this Mantel on Amazon.. I was nervous to order through the internet but based off the reviews I took my chances. I was scared that it would be to good to be true, but I must say it is amazingly beautiful.. The Mantel looks like we spend thousands on it... It was easy to install, affordable and beautiful. You can't ask for more... Especially for this price... I would highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed. So happy with my purchase :-)

I couldn't be happier with this product. First, the shipping couldn't have been faster. I ordered on a Wednesday evening, and they called me on Friday afternoon to arrange a delivery time. The product arrived at the agreed upon time. The packaging was first rate and the product exceeded my expectations in every way. In short, EXCELLENT PRODUCT! Highly recommend.

This mantel way exceeded our expectations in quality and style and it was the lowest priced mantel we could find. Everyone that sees it comments on how nice it looks. We chose to have a contractor install it because it needed to be installed at the same time as the custom tile insert and tile base that we had added. However, it looked pretty easy to assemble and install if you are the handy-type. It was delivered quickly ahead of schedule but they kept me updated, so I knew when to expect the package. It needs to be painted, but it looks really great right out of the box with just the white primer.

Sadly, I was unable to use the product because it was damaged during shipping. I did get to look at it and it was nicely made and of great quality. I would still rate it with 5 stars because it was definitely the shipping company's fault since my son and I both witnessed the deliveryman drop the box on its side. It is just too bad that I couldn't have been shipped UPS instead of freight.

Nice good gauge screen. But the panel widths actually measure 23 1/4" instead of full 24". They barely overlap for closure. The 24" panels would have made a perfect fit/closure. Just allow a couple extra inches on the width and you will be pleased with this product.

We own one for over 6 years now. Love it. Only problem is that because it's mechanical (air pump), that eventually wears out. I think the seal in the pump need replacing. It used to to fill a cup with just one pump, but now takes 10 or more pumps.

Other than that, I love it. I am looking at purchasing a new one, the kind that uses electric pump.

I bought the electric air pot to address a number of issues that needed attention: I wanted to minimize the use of the microwave as much as possible, and I wanted to replace a diet soda pop habit with more healthful drinks. I had an electric kettle, but it was plastic and could not keep water warm throughout the day. I used to have a regular kettle, but I have lupus with some cognitive issues, and that kind of forgetfulness just doesn't mix too well with stove top cooking. I trashed two regular kettles before I got that one through my head.

After getting this product, I am wondering what I ever did without it. I no longer worry about carcinogen exposure from heating water in plastic. The air pot has a nonstick interior, but all of the research I looked at indicated that if there is any risk from unscratched nonstick surfaces, it happens only at temperatures over 350 degrees. Water boils at 212 degrees. Additionally, the interior of the air pot is well-constructed, and there doesn't seem to be any way I could possibly scratch it unless I used a fork or steel wool on it.

It keeps the water a good temperature for most teas, for soups, for getting a head start on pasta or rice, and for making coffee with a french press. The water tastes much better than it tasted after boiling in my plastic kettle. I have added an appliance timer to turn on the airpot before I wake up in the morning so that I do not have to wait for my first caffeine of the day. Zojirushi makes more expensive models that take care of the timer aspect, but I didn't want to spend the extra money.

What I did spend was not too much more than I would have for a non-plastic electric kettle (which, if you look at the reviews, might very well turn out to have plastic parts that have contact with the heated water) that was safer than a regular electric kettle, that was more convenient than a regular electric kettle, and that is already saving me money. I don't drink diet soda anymore, and I don't waste old, cold coffee or tea. I can make what I need as I need it, because the hot water is always readily available.

______

Love it even MORE now!

Months later, I am using the airpot every day. It works perfectly. In addition to using it to make coffee and tea, I use the hot water to get a head start on steel cut oatmeal, pasta, rice, soup (wait, that's not a head start that's the whole thing), just as I was when I first bought it.

However, I have also started using it for non-food applications! I had no idea. Hot packs for sore muscles, in my mop bucket to clean the floor, the extra heat makes a huge difference.

Finally, I have not had any need for this information, but I was contacted by someone who read my review about finding replacement parts. According to Zojirushi's website:

"Replacement parts may be ordered from our online Zojirushi Store or from our Customer Service Department by calling 800-733-6270, M-F, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST. Please have the model number ready when calling."

In short I found this airpot to provide nice hot water and be energy efficient too though I have only been testing it out for several days. As I say below, at 14.7 cents per kilowatt it uses $48.93/year. Now to be more verbose...

After completing the boil and having the water maintained at 208, I decided to check it out with a thermometer. I poured a cup and stuck the probe in, but my digital food thermometer only showed about 170F so I tried another one with similar results. Finally, I just made my self some coffee and it was nice and hot even after adding milk so so much for my thermometers. The only things I have to compare this to are my old airpot (5.5 quarts = 5.2 liters) and my 1500W electric kettle. Compared to my old airpot this one is amazing as my old one had the water barely hot. Compared to my kettle it obviously is not as hot since the kettle gives you freshly boiled water, though you can still add a bit of milk to the water from this airpot and enjoy a satisfying cup (for some reason I imagined 208F to be hotter with respect to how much milk you could add and still be left with a hot cup, but it still gives a satisfying hot cup).

After the initial boil, I remembered that I had a "P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor" (you can check it out on Amazon) which allows me to measure its electricity usage and on my unit I have entered the price of electricity as 14.7 cents per kilowatt. The longer it is connected the more accurate the reading is. Unfortunately I did not connect it before I began the boil but I hope to do so with my next main usage of the airpot this Friday (UPDATE: boiling 3 liters of water cost 3 cents). In any case, I have had it connected for 5 days now and the pot has gone down from full to 1 liter of water left and the reading says it uses $48.93/year or $0.13/day (of course this is assuming you don't add any more water to reheat when it gets low, though at 3 cents a boil it shouldn't add much to the cost) . This is quite amazing. As a comparison, my last 5.5 quart "airpot" that kept water barely hot used $144/year. My 1500W kettle costs me a penny to boil about 3 cups. My second usage had the yearly cost at $54/year but I attribute this to not using as much water in it as I did in the first time I had used it and I figure that the more in it the more energy is needed to keep the water warm.

I would definitely recommend this airpot. I was looking specifically one that did not use electronics to pump out the water and this one fit the bill.

Tevila info: For those who understand what I am talking about I dunked it on a Wednesday morning only until all surface areas of the airpot were covered before taking it out (i.e. did not wait for bubbles to stop). I left it out and open until Friday when I first used it and it worked fine.

I bought this as a college student tired of having to steal everyone else's hot water. Works great just fill it, plug it in and forget it! It's virtually silent, and it's great for tea when you're writing essays all night long.

We love this pot, and keep hot water available 24 hours--nice to grab that lunchtime soup or late-night cup of camomile tea. It is easy to use (pour in water & plug in) and pour (push down on circle which depresses on top of lid). Great value! This was a surprise appliance in the best possible way--never expeccted to like it so much or use it so constantly on the kitchen counter--good looking too! Jill

I bought this for my fireplace insert to enable more consistent temperature control. The magnet base secures it well and the temperature indication seems pretty accurate when compared to an infrared thermometer.

The design is classy and is not gaudy. It works well for my application.

We have been heating with wood for the last three years and this little puppy works great. We can walk right up to the stove and see if it is burning at the right temperature. The colors are nice because they don't distract from the stove like many others we looked at. We liked it so much we purchased another to give as a gift.

I have a Rutland stovepipe thermometer on the stovepipe of our woodstove, and wanted another themometer for the stove top. This thermometer is smaller than I thought it would be and the printing is not very clear. When I put it side by side with my other thermometer on the pipe it read almost 100 degrees higher. I moved both thermometers to the stove top, the Condar read about 75 degrees higher. Seemed like one of them was not accurate, so I put them both in our oven next to the oven thermometer. In the oven set at 400 degrees they read the same. So I guess the are reading accurately, and the temp is just different on the stove top or stove-pipe within a few of inches.

All in all however, the Condar may be less obtrusive as some reviewers have said here, but I find it harder to read. If your intention is to be able to read your stove or insert temperature for safety purposes, I would not be so concerned with "looks". The Rutland is about 10% larger, and much easier to read. I do like that the Condar Medallion has a little wire "handle" that swings out if you want to pick it up and move it.

I purchased this because of the design, wanted something a little different. It has a nice weight to it and appears sturdy and solid. The color is Colonial Brown, which is a very dark brown. It matches my fireplace beautifully and I am very happy with this purchase. Forgot to mention that I also purchased a fireplace tool set with matching design.

It looks nice....not terribly sturdy, but does the job (especially for the price). You can fold it, so if you need to store it away for the summer, it doesn't take up too much space. It's made out of fairly thin metal, but it really doesn't bother us. It looks good and holds the logs, so what more can you ask for at this price?

The rack looks just as pictured. I had read other reviews before purchasing. One said it was small. That was perfect for me because I wanted to place it on the hearth. Actually, when opened, it is even wider than I would have preferred, but it fits! One said it was flimsy. I didn't find this to be the case. It is not solid metal, but I don't drop armfuls of logs onto it, either. This has no problem supporting a full load of wood that has been placed into it. Structurally sound and a good value.

This is not so much a product endorsement as a testimony to genius. Can you wrap your newspaper tightly enough to burn for an hour or more? I don't think you can. But this can. Can you think of a gift more appropriate for earth-conscious senior citizens with lots of time on their hands, but no way to get to the store for Presto Logs or some other unholy pressed substance to stick in their fireplace on a cold and wintry night? I defy you to produce anything so fitting as this singular invention.

The only expensive part is the switch you push your leg up against for variable speed control and those ain't that expensive. Anyone can build a wooden jig to hold the drill in place and press the trigger that controls the drill.

The drill bit attachment is obviously a drill bit centered with epoxy or some other putty type medium and two rods coming out the other end. You painted them pink. As you did the wooden Jig for the switch and the jig for the drill itself. I would say at tops you have $10 to $15 worth of materials. To me this is not even a invention. It is just jigs anyone and his kids can make. It must have cost a fortune for those two new water hose clamps? You don't even include the main part to the product, the drill itself. That is the largest expense.

I would have used a electric motor on a platform with a half tube large 4" PVC type sewage pipe and have those rods attached on the motor and make it look somewhat like the log rollers with the hand cranks on them and have a long bar roller on top spring loaded to keep the newspaper tight and feed paper like you did. For that matter just buy a hand crank one and save electricity.

For that matter just make a attachment to the crank rollers already on the market where they have a pressure roller coming down from above to keep the log nice and tight as you feed and crank. Your deal here is not a patent, it is a jury rig log roller with a drill and jigs.

Now since I gave everyone the idea of how to change existing log rollers more than 5% to be patented I would appreciate at least 10% of the profit you make with your patent? That is if you do it.

What I learned with tight paper logs rolls is that unless you already have a fire going with some good hot burning wood those paper logs do not burn easily. You need something in it to give it more combustibility like lent form your dryer lent trap in-between the pieces of compressed paper. Or even candle wax mixed into the paper. Have your kids take crayons and draw all over the paper first then roll it up. That will work? :) What you have here is a joke and a rip off though.

Purchasing:

It took a total of three orders to finally complete this purchase. One through an Amazon reseller that wouldn't honor the posted price (Unbeatablesale.com), the second through Amazon, but with a 2-3 month fulfillment window, and lastly one through an Amazon reseller (Price Pros) with Amazon customer service providing a credit for the price difference between reseller price and the unit that would have taken Amazon months to deliver. Once again, Amazon customer service comes through in the end.

Product:

This is a substantial piece of cast iron (53 lbs.) that fit perfectly into an 18" high by 36" wide fireplace. It's also perfectly sized for my 24" long Peterson (RealFyre) gas logs. The fireback was installed leaning directly against the rear firebrick wall without fireback feet, which would have positioned the top arch of the unit above the fireplace opening.

Performance:

The grate, burner sand, lava gravel and burning embers were all refreshed or replaced after the fireback was placed behind them. The logs were repositioned to allow the raised sun image to peer through the fire. This unit now radiates heat 8-10 feet into my family room, which is roughly two times as far as the previous setup without a fireback.

I have a wonderful big fireplace, which throws off a good amount of heat. My main source for the living room.

I've been looking for ways to increase the heat output for a yr and finally decided to try the fireback as my cheapest alternative. I had heard both good and bad things about firebacks.

Got this quickly after ordering. I Just had the chimney sweep 10 days ago, so the draw is good and I cleaned out all the ash, before placing this on the back wall. It is a nice heavy fireback and had hope for it.

Unfortuneately, it seemed to rob the heat output. I've been living this way for 3 winters, so I know what it should be, but the room stayed cold using this. Tried it a 2nd night and the same. I made a fire last night without it and the heat was back to normal. I will say all 3 nights the outside temp was bet 25-30 degrees

I am sending it back tomorrow and will continue to live with my wonderful fireplace the way it is.
