This shield does protect my sofa from the pellet heater,

which is placed just 8" away. I did place a 1 1/2" foil

faced insulating board between the shield & sofa.

Painted both items black so not noticeable.

Don't use just a foil shield, as it could melt.

The high cost of flameless candles has kept me from purchasing them so when I saw these I was thrilled at the value. The remote control feature is what sold me on these candles since even the pricier candles sold at retail don't generally come with a remote. The remote control works when you switch the candles to the on position and it easily turns them all on and off. What they don't tell you is that when the candles are off, but the switch stays in the on position, the battery is still being drained. Therefore, the batteries in all 6 of my candles are now dead after only 3 weeks on my wall. So although the remote is a novel idea, having to manually switch the candles on and off before and after using the remote defeats the purpose all together. The brightness is only fair on these candles but they do look fairly realistic when on and off.

I thought I'd offer a general guide to flameless candles, since I have a vast number of these and have tried all kinds. First: It can be hard to shop for these online, because there may be a greater difference between the appearance of the candle and the appearance on your screen than is the case with most products. So, first of all, I'd recommend buying flameless candles locally, where you can look closely at them. You can find them in gift shops, hobby and craft stores, card shops, drugstores and dollar stores.

Second, avoid those with lithium batteries. Those little disk batteries are expensive, and before you know it you'll have spent $100.00 on your $6.99 candle. They're also prone to turn on and off unpredictably due to the batteries not fitting into the slot as accurately as other batteries. They have to sit in there perfectly, which means the place where you insert them has to be perfectly configured to receive the battery. These aren't expensive items, so you'll find they rarely fit in as snugly as they should or else are too snug and won't turn off. Other types of batteries are held in place by little springs and are much more likely to stay put and work without fiddling on your part. If you plan to use flameless candles throughout the house, as I do, it will be well worth your while to buy rechargeable batteries and a charger. This will cost you a little more as an initial output, but a good rechargeable battery, such as eneloop, will keep your flameless candles flickering almost indefinitely. Some now come with remote controls or timers built in, where the candle, when set appropriately, will burn for six hours and then turn itself off saving the battery for when you really want it.

Third, if you want your candle to look real, choose one with a little bit of wax drip on the sides. Without that, your candle will still be pretty but much less candle-like. Also, a drip on the sides makes the flickering light inside appear more random. A consistent looking light, even when flickering, is less like the random flickering of a candle's flame and looks noticeably less real.

Fourth, take note of where the "flame" is located. You shouldn't be able to see it sticking up over the top of the candle because, if you can, it can plainly be seen for what it is a plastic "flame", not a real one. Some candles exhibit the opposite mistake the "flame" is too far down inside the candle. Remember, a real candle illuminates a little of the area around it. A flameless candle with the light source too far down will only illuminate the inside of the candle but not the area above it at all. This dilutes the candle's effect and gives it away as a fake candle. Ideally, from a a few feet away and in a room that isn't bright, the best flameless candles will be indistinguishable from the real thing. To achieve this effect, it's critical that the source of light not be too far down inside the candle. In part for this reason, the most convincing and real looking flameless candles tend to be no taller than 5 to 6 inches, with the "flame" close enough to the top to illuminate an area above the candle but not so close that the "flame" itself can be seen. Taller candles almost invariably have the "flame" much farther down inside the candle, providing less light and a less convincing candle effect.

Fifth, with a little imagination these candles can be more useful than you'd think. For instance, I live in an old house where the upstairs and downstairs halls have no overhead light or electrical outlets. I use three of these candles in each hall at night and they provide more than enough light to avoid bumbling into the furniture in the dark, as well as creating an effect of cozy prettiness. Overnight guests in my house almost invariably tell me that they're going to recreate this inviting effect in their own hallways instead of the night light or overhead light they used before. Carefully placed, these will adequately light your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night but without the shock of bright light.

Last, be a careful shopper and, as already mentioned, try your local stores first. If the price is more than $15.00, the law of diminishing returns begins to operate. You can get the best quality flameless candles for this price, and paying more will not get you a better quality light. The two prettiest and most convincing flameless candles I have came from a post-Christmas sale at a local drugstore. Six years later they're still working perfectly and appear exactly the same as the day I bought them. Expensive is rarely better when it comes to flameless candles.

I absolutely LOVE these! I was looking for a couple of "smaller" type candles that would fit in the sconces on my wall that I can't reach without a chair. I wanted something that I would not have to touch to turn on and off.

When I began the search I was suprised to find that the smaller candles that would fit in my scones did not have a "timer" option to turn on the same time every day and then automatically turn off after 4, 6 to 8 hours.

I was so happy when I found these but leary of the remote control. When I received them I was so happy with the setup! I like them better than the auto timer. They look really nice and I can easily turn them on and off with the remote whenever I want.

The batteries last a really long time too. Well worth the price.

Thanks Amazon!

These candles are a good idea, and they are beautiful "off". However, when they are turned on they do not resemble a real flame and seem very orangy and fake. Also, other remotes besides the remote it comes with (ie TV remotes, etc) seem to power them on and off not a happy feature.

This heater which I use at the office has been nick-named R2D2 by my office mates (guess why). It is a lot bigger than I thought it would be standing almost 2 feet high. Temperature settings are only in centigrade and the thing turns off before reaching the desired temperature and has to be reset to get it going again. The resetting is an inconvenient process. The timer can only be set for 1 hour intervals. I don't like the damn thing. I might give it away and by another type of more user friendly heater.

This is an relatively expensive fan and it does have the necessary safety features to be allowed by fire code in our office that is a good thing. But the heater will turn off at a certain point and never turn on again. The oscillation features makes it heat up and smell like it is malfunctioning. Also, the fact that the temperature is only in Celsius just makes it confusing and harder to use than it should be. I wish there was a way to convert this.

First, the ambient temperature never came even close to what I set (reached 80.2f and it was set at 86.0f). Also, the manual says the fan is supposed to always stay on while the heater turns on and off. The fan turned on and off with the heater. Returned mine for a refund so I can get a better-working one.

I've had this heater as the only heat source in my 10X15 ft. office through two Florida winters. It puts out plenty of heat on "low," and is so quiet that I don't know whether it's on or off without looking. The only problem, sadly a big one, is that the thermostat only sets in 5 degree increments and allows too much heat variation before it turns on, so I'm always a little too hot or too cold. I'm thinking of replacing it with one of the competing Lasko ceramic heaters. A friend has one, and it seems to be just as quiet and efficient as the Holmes, but does a better job of maintaining a stable temperature. I have waited and waited for Holmes to come out with a ceramic heater just like this one but with a better thermostat, but I guess this isn't going to happen. Oh, well.

Click Here to Read More Reviews >>

Holmes makes an excellent compact and portable ceramic space heater that really gives off a lot of heat than my older one does! Moreover, the unit is very lightweight and easy to carry although of course I wouldn't carry it while it's working or just after it's been shut off.

The heater is reasonably priced as of the time I am writing this and I sure hope that Holmes continues to make these; I would like to get one for my father. The unit is completely quiet--in fact it's so quiet that you'll never know that it's there unless you see it. It rapidly provides a good amount of heat to areas like bedrooms and offices.

This heater by Holmes is best used for spaces that are roughly 100 square feet or slightly more; I wouldn't depend on it to heat several rooms or a combination living room/dining room all at once. For that you'll either need more than one of these space heaters or you'll have to use this unit along with your central heat or oil heat, whatever you have.

I also like that the unit turns itself off automatically of it should accidentally tip over. That's good protection against fire or ugly marks on your carpeting that could be tough to remove.

If you look at the fourth picture of the unit at the top of this page, you can see for yourself the way you can control the temperature. You get "on" and "off" buttons; and there are five specific temperatures from which to choose. You can adjust the temperature a bit more simply by pushing the "hi" and "lo" buttons. Great!

Again, this is one awesome space heater that's more than worth the current price. I highly recommend it.

I just ordered two more of these units. We've been using them for the last five years or so and love them! We need more because we keep giving them away to our kids, who ask for them specifically. They run quieter and put out more heat (double ceramic heater) than any other fan driven area heater we've ever used. We also love the thermostat features and tip-over shut off. I don't think Holmes is making this model any more and it's a shame. I thought I better get a few more while I can.

Read Best Reviews of Holmes HCH4953-U Ultra-Quiet Dual Ceramic Heater with 1-Touch Electronic Thermostat Here

I have to say I've enjoyed my unit. It's the only heat I've had in my large north-east exposure, 2nd floor bedroom over a 2-car garage and still kept it toasty warm. We've had cold weather much more snow than we've ever had at one time and it's been a great little heater. I doubt the thermostat is correct ... I just adjust it up or down as needed. So glad I got it. The 2 Laskos I had were very loud and ineffective. They stopped after only a couple of weeks and not during our coldest weather. This has been very quiet and I really like it. I bought mine from Amazon, and now I see it's sold by a vendor I won't use at $11 higher price than I paid. I bought mine mid-December 2009.

It's been safe to have around my small dog and my 2 yr. old grand-daughter. I would buy it again if Amazon is the vendor and it is a reasonable price.

I hate being cold.

Update (3-28-10) It suddenly quit. Not sure why yet. The temperature can still get cold so I'm not happy. Like another reviewer said it turns itself off no matter what. So what's up with that? It's been about the same 4 month time frame as the other reviewer mentioned. Have to figure something to do about it. Not too sure I would give it the same rating now. I hate being cold.

Update 04-01-10 Discovered that the heater melted the plastic outlet on the heavy duty extension cord I had to use because of the heater's short cord. At first it looked like the heater plug had arc-welded itself to the extension cord. But instead it melted everything inside the extension cord outlet. Thank gooness it was the only thing on that extension cord and the only thing plugged into that wall socket. We thought after prying it loose from (and destroying) the extension cord that the heater was fine since its plug looked normal. But something's changed the prongs, and it won't plug in anywhere.

So lesson learned don't use even heavy duty extension cords (even with a built-in breaker and being the only item plugged into it and only thing plugged into the wall socket). I don't trust this heater enough to buy another of it's kind. I feel fortunate it didn't catch my house on fire.

This heater works great. Extremely quiet and puts out an incredible amount heat for its size. I did a lot of research before purchasing and am very happy with this heater. Safe, quiet, and will heat a room in very little time. The only thing I could think of to make a good product better would be the digital heat settings. They are adjustable in 5 degree increments, which seem to be accurate in terms of actual temp, but it would be nice to have the option of setting it for each degree in between. I always set the thermostat to 70 and let the heater do its thing. Very pleased with its performance.

I live in a small apartment which has wall-to-wall carpeting. There is a small dining area off the living area. I have oriental rugs everywhere, but I had hardwood floors in my houses and other apartments and was sick of all the carpeting. I ran across these Bamboo rugs, liked the look of this one and decided to try it.

Not only is it beautiful, but it is also sturdy; and it breaks up the monotony of carpeting. I've discovered that cleaning it is also much easier than cleaning hardwood floors. I use a soft, damp cloth sprayed with Murphy's Oil Soap and the dirt comes up and the "rug" has a beautiful sheen. I highly recommend this product.

Pretty good value for the price. I do wish it were one piece, as opposed to three. The poker, shaft, and handle are all separate pieces that screw together. They always seem to loosen on mine. I use mine for outdoor campfires, so I may be a little rougher on mine than most.

P.s. If you use yours outside, I've found that a couple pieces of reflective tape on the shaft will help you find it in the dark.

My wife loves a good cup of tea and in the past, we just left the kettle on very low heat on the stove. The other night I came home to the smell of gas. The breeze had blown out the flame and my wife, who had a really bad cold, was upstairs and could not smell the gas.

Time to get something a bit safer while we still had a house! After some research, we ordered this electric kettle (to the joy of my wife's British friends who think we are barbarians for not having one.)

I was astounded at how fast this thing heats water, maybe 5 minutes for a mostly full pot from tap-cold to full rolling boil.

The automatic shut-off works perfectly (and has a small light so you need not guess if it is off or on) and we no longer need to worry about errant gas fumes and whistling kettles.

The kettle is well-made, attractive and seems to be sturdy and definitely works a treat. Get one and you won't be disappointed. Needs a three-prong outlet, so make sure you can use it first. Sides do get hot but the handle stays properly cool and the safety lid works very nicely with no drops or leaks that I have seen.

Update, March 2012: About two years after the original purchase, the kettle died. We replaced it with the same model and that one has been going strong to this day. There's almost never a day it does not get used and other than cleaning it with vinegar once in a while to get the minerals out, it just keeps on chugging.

My wife even does hard boiled eggs in it using Alton Brown's method.

Good stuff, well made and at a fair price.

In replacing our stovetop kettle with an electric one, I was looking for one to match the stainless steel & black appliances in our kitchen, and this one is great. This heats water much faster than the stovetop or microwave, and is pretty quiet in the process; the sides get a little hot during the heating, but the bottom stays cool enough to move straight to the table (sans trivet!) I don't know if the "scale screen" included will help any, but otherwise I think this a great purchase!

I'm from Australia (and have also lived in the UK) and consider an electric teakettle a basic staple in the kitchen.

Two major gripes:

1. If you look inside there are actually silicone(?) fasteners used that touch the water consequently any water you boil in this one smells and tastes like metal and plastic/rubber, even after you've brewed it into tea. Completely unacceptable. Baking soda doesn't help much.

2. The stainless steel finish is HOT to the touch. Scalding/burning hot. I can't believe this thing is actually a consumer approved product. There is NO insulation whatsoever, yet this is a counter top product. You might as well just use a pot on the stove. Imagine if your stainless steel toaster burned hot on the outside.

Three minor gripes:

1. The lid is not solid and seems like it would break in a fairly short lifespan of use.

2. You pretty much have to fill it by lifting up the lid. You can't use the spout for this, like you can with a lot of models.

3. This thing is heavy. Heavier than a pot you might use to boil the same amount of water. This adds to the risk of burns.

On the plus side:

1. It looks fine.

2. This does boil your water quickly... so if you like the sound of bubbling water and that's all, then I guess you could buy this.

Unhappy buyer this one's going back. I wouldn't want this if someone gave it to me, let alone pay for it.

I gladly agree with most of the reviewers on these pages--this is a nice kettle that boils water very quickly. I like how the switch works, and the little light that tells you it's on, and I figure that for 40 bucks I got my money's worth already. But I have a few gripes.

As some other reviewers noted, the metal outside of this kettle gets much too hot. Don't do what I did and count on its insulating qualities when the kettle is too close to a plastic bag left on the counter. And don't touch the thing!

Also, the little button that opens up the lid, it don't work so good, so to speak, and if I want to open the kettle I have to pull the lid open with my fingers. That's not good design, dear Chef's Choice people.

I probably bought the wrong kettle. What I really want, and what I'll look for next time, is a kettle that has a separate heating element, so that the actual kettle is just that, a kettle, with a wide top--so I can heat broth in it for risotto (and then be able to wash it) and boil eggs (this opening is too small). I should have looked around more, or perhaps spent more money. Don't get me wrong, I've been pretty pleased with this kettle: if you want a nice-looking appliance to heat water fast, this is it. If you want more, well, keep on looking.

Update (after three years of almost daily use): the other day, the kettle seemed not to turn itself off properly anymore, as if the switch wouldn't click all the way up anymore. I took off the bottom and jiggled the mechanism a little bit, and now it's working properly again. Still, I'm keeping my eye on it and don't fully trust the auto-off feature anymore.

I would not recommend this teakettle because the plastic lid seemed to off-gas a noxious smell and taste when boiling water. The off-gassing only started to dissipate after many boilings. I followed the instructions and boiled and emptied the kettle once before using, but my family and I noticed a distinctly unpleasant taste in our tea which coincided with the chemical smell emanating from the kettle as it boiled the water. It was also quite noisy.

When I saw this heater at the store a couple of years ago, I loved the idea of it. But when I went home and looked at our setup, I saw no space between the umbrella pole and the hole in the table to fit the cord, so I let it go. Then I recently received this as a gift. I was concerned about how I'd hook it up, but it was worth trying since we have some chilly evenings where we like to still sit outside. It was QUITE an adventure to get it set up. Our umbrella pole is a full 2" diameter....the max you can have with this heater. And the cord is t-h-i-c-k. It wouldn't fit in the tiny space left as the pole went thru the table hole so I had to rout out a groove in the wood umbrella pole so it would have a place to rest and not be pinched. Then there was the rest of the cord issues. The cord is only about 8-9' long and the instructions say to not use this with an extension cord. OK----good luck with that. Unless you have an outlet right under your table, that's not gonna happen. The the bigger issue at hand was the plug on the end of the cord. It's HUGE. So big, it would not fit thru the hole in our patio table. There's nothing unusual about our patio table. The hole looks completely standard, but this plug with it's GFI Test buttons and all would not fit through. So we started to dismantle it. In the end, we had to remove the wiring from the cord completely, then slip the cord thru the hole, then rewire it. So as not to have a 14G extension cord running along our deck, we wired it directly with 120 standard home wire underneath the deck, then connected the big plug at the other end right by the outlet. You wouldn't have to do that, but we did since we had the cord apart anyway. All's well right? It lights up....it heats....it has good ambiance....and then we had a rain storm. The heater is under the umbrella, but with heavy rain that umbrella will start to leak water. I wonder if the heater is waterproof??? NOOOOOOOOOO. The instructions clearly say that it cannot get wet. Water can't drip into the heater blades or the center motor. What the? This is supposed to be for the outdoors!! And now that our heater is unremovable from the umbrella cuz we'd have to dismantle the big plug again, we can't just take it in the house. For the immediate storm, I covered each blade with plastic bags, but the center motor was still exposed. For the long run, I sewed up a permanent cover for the heater out of some old patio cover fabric I had from another project. But you would think this would have been designed to take a little moisture without issue. Big design flaw in my opinion which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I otherwise love the heater in operation and the soft light is nice at night.

This blower is small but quiet and moves enough air to heat a small room. Fits almost under any fireplace. You need a thermostat switch in order to make it automatic.

This works very well. I only gave it 4 stars because it is a bit noisier than I thought it would be. We have grown accustomed to it and don't notice so much anymore. Still this product works very well to move the heat from our gas fireplace.

The fan does move the air, but not near as much as the original blower. This unit is smaller and lighter then the old unit. It is so light that they send "sticky tabs" for the bottom of the unit so that it does not vibrate out of placement under the fireplace gas logs. Air movement is probably about 1/3 the movement as the old unit. Plus the cord to plug in the new unit needs to be about 12-18 inches longer. This unit cost about half of what a new more powerful unit runs. And the saying is true you get what you pay for. In the future I will go back to the original type fan and pay the additional amount.
