Shipped fast and I did not know how it was going to work, but it worked great, and it is re-usable. I just keep filling it up with the Pure fire Citronella green lamp I bought also. All you have to do is make sure a little piece of the wick is above the liquid, to light it.

If this piece of furniture was built out of solid wood instead of particle board, I would have given it five stars. The big problem with the particle board here is, if you scratch the black paint coating, you instantly see the white board underneath. So, if you move often or have pets with claws, have some black paint on-hand.

Besides that, the thick, heavy duty smoked glass shelving and glass-ember fireplace insert are outstanding. Truly adds a new level of comfort to my basement's home theater. And this is the *only* electronic fireplace console I could find that was able to hold my Integra DTR 8.9 which fits perfectly in the lower shelving.

This product was delivered on time, no broken or missing parts and packaged well. Instructions were clear and product was easy to put together. Product produces a good amount of heat and in my opinion does use less electricity. I do not feel that product is able to heat the area claimed in the advertisement. All in all I am pleased with the purchase.

I have a 200 square foot poorly insulated space (its a solarium addition ie three walls of double paned glass). I figured with the claims of being able to heat 600 sq feet this unit would more than compensate for all the windows. NOPE had to return it. I purchased four (ugly) baseboard units and that did the trick.

There is most obviously a lot of money to be made off of people who are just convinced that you always get what you pay for... in this case, four hundred bucks just HAS to result in amazing comfort at mere pennies a day to operate. Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news... well, no, that's not exactly correct... I actually get a kick out of debunking these stupid things... but, this heater is not magical. There isn't a little leprechaun or genie inside of it that spits out heat for nothing. And yet, this is what the seller would have you believe. Let's take a look at their product description line by line:

"The Solar Comfort has lower operating and maintenance costs." Compared to what? This is a throwaway line. Since there is no qualifying statement it is meaningless. Calling it "Solar" is stupid too, by the way.

"There is only one moving part, the fan motor, and is equipped with quality trouble free controls." They toss this out there as if this is a big deal. It isn't. Most electric space heaters have one moving part: Of course it's the fan. Some electric space heaters have zero moving parts. Does that make them better than this one? And most electric space heaters have the same type of controls that this one does. Whoop dee doo.

"There are no burners to rust, corrode or adjust; no pilot light to waste energy." This is really comparing apples to oranges. It's true. There are no burners or pilot lights with this unit. But it isn't going to heat your whole house like a traditional furnace does, either. As a side note: Furnace and boiler manufacturers quit using pilot lights a couple of decades back.

"Safe, clean, long-life infrared lamps provide the heat energy and are replaced easily and inexpensively. (Average lamp life is 5000+ hours or approximately 3-5 years)." They say this like it's an advantage or something. Light bulbs burn out. In my book that's a nuisance. The heating elements in traditional (and vastly cheaper) electric space heaters almost never burn out. Light bulb life is drastically reduced by vibration and since this heater is portable (and has "one moving part"), the notion that you are going to get 5000+ hours per bulb is ridiculous.

"The Solar Comfort is constructed of lifetime metals, copper, galvanized steel and aluminum." Again, big deal... so is just about anything else out there. I mean, seriously, what else are you going to construct a heater out of? Tissue paper?

"The Solar Comfort provides even heat distribution and warmer floors. The Solar Comfort thermostatically controls, circulates and recycles heated air at the floor for maximum use and comfort. The floor to ceiling temperature differential is minor." This is utter nonsense and implies that it defies the laws of physics. Warm air rises. Cool air settles to the floor. I guess if you left the dinky little fan on you might get a tiny bit less temperature deviation between floor and ceiling but you sacrifice electricity (to drive the fan) to get that done.

"Solar Comfort zone heating does not remove humidity from the air, it actually helps to maintain humidity levels. Water does not readily condense on windows as with conventional systems. Even heating and humidity provide more comfort at lower heat settings with less static electricity." Total BS. I mean it: These are pure lies. No heater can remove humidity from the air. Winter air is drier than summer air and that's just a fact of life on planet Earth. Dehumidification can only be accomplished by chilling air below its dew point. You see this when water forms on the outside of a glass of ice water. It's why you use coasters. Heating air NEVER lowers humidity. Oh yeah, the only type of heater that could possibly cause condensation on windows would be a "ventless" gas heater. That's because one of the products of combustion (with any fossil fuel) is water vapor. Most gas (or oil) fired heating appliances are vented. This means that all of the combustion gases (including water vapor) are vented to the outdoors. Static electricity is a function of lower humidity levels that, as mentioned, are just part of winter weather. The Solar Comfort space heater has ZERO effect on humidity. It can't do anything else.

"As the Solar Comfort operates, you will notice that its heating ability does not depend on a high-speed flow of air. Instead, its gentle airflow promotes more effective heat mixing action and air stability at the floor. Soft heat." First of all, there is no such thing as "soft heat." When marketing people make up crap like this it's because they think you are stupid and will swallow anything they feed you. As for the rest of it: No, its heating ability has zero to do with air flow. The same amount of heat is produced regardless of air speed. They do, however, have to drive the air very slowly because so little heat is being produced. If they drove the air faster it would seem cooler (even though the same heat is there) and that's not a very good feature. So they drive the air very slowly so that the dinky heat output feels warm.

"The Solar Comfort does not burn, dry out or otherwise pollute the air with impurities. This protects the humidity level and air quality important to health and breathing comfort." Other than the aforementioned "ventless" gas heaters, NO heater pollutes the air with impurities. And NO heater burns air. You can't. Air isn't a fuel. It's an oxidizer which means that it is needed for fuels to burn. But you can't burn air. It simply isn't possible. And again, as previously mentioned, you can't affect humidity levels with heat.

So that's it. Those are their "selling points." Pretty impressive BS, right?

Here's the deal: This heater isn't any better at heating a space than any other (significantly cheaper) electric space heater. You get to heat one room in your house with this thing. That's it: One room. So in order to get the so-called savings you have to live like a peasant in some third world people's paradise and let the rest of your house freeze. This is the United States of America! If you have to live like that to save a few bucks on utilities then maybe you have more house than you can afford. And if you want to shell out several hundred bucks for a 1500 watt heater well, that's your business. Just don't say you weren't warned.

hi, I also live in upstate new york where the temperture can get down to zero and lower...... first let me say for the price $349.00 it's cheaper than a enden pure unit ! it is made solid and uses four screw in infared 375 wATT BULBS. ( the bulbs can be purchased on amazon.com for $ 6.54 each. WHICH IF YOU HAD TO CHANGE ONE IT TAKE FIVE MINUTES. the unit is bigger in size than an enden pure unit and double the weight. now lets get real here , this unit can not heat your house from a cold start..... my wifes hair dryer puts out 1800 watts. the way these unit work is first heat your room or area up by your home heating unit,let say 75 degrees.... once the area has been heated and i mean heated for a day or so, now place the infared unit in place and turn it up to the highest setting, now cut your home thermostat down to 58 or 60 degrees the infared heater will now maintain your room to that set setting or higher with out having your home heating system come on. I've been using this sun could unit for years and they work fine. today the cost of electrcity is cheaper than oil and lp gas. the best way i can tell you how they work is when you get in your car on a cold morning it may take twenty minutes for the car to get warm , now when your car is warm cut the car heater off wait for the car to get cold again now put the heater back on......you will be warm in only five minutes or less . i hope this help someone out there ... and sun cloud or solar comfort is the only unit i recomend.

We are very impressed with the quality and beauty of this product. Equally impressive is the company, Southern Enterprises. When we received our fireplace, the box was quite battered and we feared what we would find inside. Surprisingly, only one piece was damaged, but of course it was the stone panel and the damage was not able to be hidden. Disapppointed, I called the 800 number for Southern Enterprises, anticipating the hassle of having to repackage the entire fireplace, shipping it back and awaiting a new one. The woman I spoke with was delightful, friendly and helpful. Without hesitation, she offered to send a replacement part immediately. No questions asked. No request to return the damaged piece. She verified my address and the part number and within a couple of days, the new part arrived, intact. It is a pleasure to see that there are still some companies out there who will stand behind their product and put customer satisfaction first. We will definitely consider this company for our future home furnishing needs.

I give this 4 stars because I like the appearance of the fireplace and the heater works well. The wood finish is very nice, and the faux stone looks good. One caveat, my TV universal remote will also turn on the heating unit. It took me awhile to figure that one out. As long as I am careful where I aim the remote, i have no problem. The assembly instructions could have been made easier. The Chinese translated English left a little to be desired. Fortunately I have assembled cam-lock type fasteners before. Overall, I would recommend this fireplace.

The best part about this fireplace is that it looks exactly like the picture. No surprises. It looks great in the photo, and in person. The LED lights used to simulate flames looks as good or better then any other electric fireplace I've seen. The heater works well, and it comes with a remote so that you don't have to get up to adjust the flame, the log glow, or the heat. As far as assembly goes, it's not bad. If you've put together department store furniture, then this is easy. If you haven't, it's a good piece to get started with. It's best to have a second set of hands to help steady things, or to move stuff around before it's all together, but you can do it yourself. I assembled it by myself, taking my time and it took an hour, maybe a few minutes less. It looks and works great, and it's sturdy. Very happy with it.

I thought I would rebuild my Hayward CL110 chlorinator. The bill at my local pool store came to $96 for them to order the necessary parts. Checked out Amazon as an after thought and found that I could have a "used" CL110 for $36 (Including tax and shipping). The chlorinator was sold as "used" but arrived in new condition with all parts necessary to complete the installation.

Needless to say, I cancelled the order from my local pool store.

Put in 3" chlorine tablet which barely fits in this tiny unit. Tablet turned to mush and clogged the unit, never worked. I threw it away after a month of it doing nothing. I am going back to manually putting in granulated chlorine. If I do ever decide to try a chlorinator again, it will be a much larger unit. This one is junk.

I wish we would have known about these a long time ago. We have a gas log stove that is at least 10 years old and has only a manual on/off switch. If we were gone for the day our house was either too cold or too hot since it didn't have an automatic thermostat. We found out about these about a month ago and decided to order this one to see if it would work on our stove. My husband had it operating in about 20 minutes and it is great!! Since our stove does have a built in blower we are keeping it on at about medium speed and so far it's been a perfect set up. We are now hoping this product will last for some time, but for right now it is the best $100 we have spent in a long time!

Bought this thermostat and when installed tested it agains the three other thermostats in my house and it was four degrees off consistently. I contacted Skytech and they said it is normal to be off 2 to 3 degrees. They said I could send it back for calibration. I just received this. I wasn't about to send it back. Now after programming several times, there is a glitch that on Sunday the set temperature is glitchy and continues to run past the set temperature.

I like it but it has many problems.

Stanley High-Velocity Blower Fan, 655702

List Price: $56.99
Sale Price: $54.99
Today's Bonus: 4% Off

I purchased this unit to replace an ailing Patton 20" blade fan which is used to exhaust stale air from the basement. Given its size, I was skeptical about the Stanley's ability to move enough air to at least match the Patton's performance. Suffice it to say, the Stanley blows significantly more air than the Patton and is much quieter than the jet engine roar of the Patton. Being able to direct the Stanley airstream right out the window is a major plus.

At the same time, I also purchased a Lasko 4900 to satisfy comparative curiosity more than anything. Well, the Lasko puts the Stanley to operational shame. Being slightly larger than the Stanley and with much larger air intake grills, the Lasko moves significantly more air, is quieter and appears to have superior build quality. The $10 premium for the Lasko is well worth the additional investment. So much so that I purchased another Lasko to circulate the air in our family room. I found by "bouncing" the airstream off the ceiling, I could noticeably improve the A/C performance in this western exposure, 600 square foot space. And for those concerned, operating on speed 3, the Lasko is quiet enough not to interfere with one's ability to hear the TV.

All considered, I would recommend the Lasko 4900 over the Stanley 655702

Every once in a while a product comes out and I am simply amazed at how useful it is. I used this fan recently and I can say that this is a great design that is well constructed. Though using this as a room fan works fine (there are three speed settings that allow you to adjust the airflow the highest speed moves A LOT of air), what makes this fan truly shine is its directional capabilities. The stream of air being pushed by this fan is pretty narrow (focusing the air movement just where you want it) and the up/down swiveling nature of the base means that this thing can be pointed at the exact spot where air is needed (like a wet spot on the carpeting, or your back as you stand at your workbench on a steamy summer evening). The grounded outlets are simply icing on the cake.

I have seen this fan for significantly less at other stores (Menard's), so shop around. Otherwise, I recommend this as a well designed, quality product!

May 9, 2009

I bought one of these fans to replace a standard 10 inch personal fan to use at work that just wasn't keeping up. I am an electronics technician, and use it to both stay cool, and to keep the air where I am working clear of dust and fumes.

I am impressed with the quality of this product. Sure it's plastic, but it still feels like a solid product. I have been using it steadily for almost 7 months now.

Something to note, it fits in a standard upright locker. I store it in mine at work ever day. I actually hang it by its handle on the coat hooks in the top-back of the locker, leaving room for my tool box in the bottom of my locker. though this might not work for you if your locker has junk hooks as this fan weighs in at more than 8 lbs. Mine has stood up to this sort of use well. It still has minimal scratches and dings on it.

As for use, it has a good design. The blower drum is divided, so half the air is drawn in under the control and outlets and across the motor housing, and the other half through a large intake on the opposite side of the unit. This means I have no worries about the fan overheating even in warm weather. It does however mean you should pay attention to whether or not this fan will be drawing in bad things along with surrounding air. The wiring inside does appear to have been sealed, but I doubt I would trust it against anything more than minimal damp or high humidity. The motor however appears to be a high quality unit. It has a metal casing, and appears fully sealed. Due to everything but the motor being plastic, I have to take extra care not to introduce it to my soldering equipment of course, but that's not been a major problem.

At work, when it's too cool to use the fan directly, I actually use it as a fume extractor, and it's far better than the fans design for that purpose. It can draw the fumes away more effectively, and from a greater distance then the one my company provided to my bench. I just make sure I use the side opposite the controls so the dust and fumes are not drawn into the side with the motor. I have had to dust out that side of the fan more often as a result of course, but compressed air works well. I have also used it indirectly, pointing the fan at something, like the underside of a shelf, and having a much gentler stream of air as a result.

The outlets on the side are useful. They are 10 amp rated, and I have used the fan as a short extension cord. The fan has a 10 foot cord, so while the outlets might not be terribly useful to everyone that buys this fan, they are useful if you need that extra outlet.

I would not however really recommend this thing for bedrooms and such. While it is not loud like a box fan or the other types that do the same job as this fan, you can definitely tell when it's on. That being said however, its only a bit louder than normal fans at its lowest setting. Its extremely quiet for its size and what its accomplishing. Its a very good alternative to the old fashioned box fan, and probably more useful too.

01JUN11

I still have my fan and I love it, its some of the best money I have ever spent.

It has held up extremely well. It only has routine scratches and such. It feels as solid as the day I got it and the only consideration I have ever given it is the understanding that it IS plastic.

Its only real shortcoming is that you cant run it at very low speeds, meaning that if you only need a little, you either have to move it far away, or use it indirectly by pointing it to hit something else first in order to lessen the breeze from it. so you should only get it for medium or larger needs, but with some creativity, you can use it for those smaller applications as they come up.

The only maintenance it has needed was the occasional use of compressed air to clean it. Because of its design, that's a lot more involved process than for a normal fan, but easy if you have access to either compressed air or a can of computer duster. If you don't want to disassemble the entire fan, you have to use mainly reverse airflow to knock dust and dirt free, and either vacuum the stuff from the intakes, or run the fan to blow the dust/dirt out, or some combination of both.

The outlets on the side have been very useful the couple of times that I have needed them too, but if you don't use them often, check them before use, there is enough airflow in through them that some dust will accumulate in them.

This is an awesome blower. I originally picked it up to air out my apartment after the annoying neighbors under my apartment filled my unit with disgusting cigarette smoke. It did a great job shooting the smokey air right out the window. Its high-power, directional fan makes it great for a variety of uses.

I was particularly impressed by its quiet operation. Even on its highest setting, I was able to run it through the night and sleep in the same room with it. It's not quite as quiet as a conventional fan, but this isn't, after all, a conventional fan. Speaking of which, I'm sure you'll find many uses for it (e.g. airing out a room where you're painting, drying carpet, zapping the burned microwave popcorn smell), but if you want something to blow a gentle breeze around a room, go with something standard. I wouldn't recommend it for cooling yourself as with a regular fan it's really better at exhaust and circulating fresh air. I suppose you could use it as a fan if you're stuck under the sink repairing the plumbing (as is the case with the guy pictured on the box), but that's really not what it's best at.

The unit itself is very sturdy. One of the previous reviewers claims the construction is cheap, but this was not my experience at all. He may have a defective unit. Mine has taken a fair amount of abuse without flinching. I've had it running 12+ hours without even getting warm. The power cord is equally substantial. Ten feet is a good length and the cable is heavy-duty. The extra outlets are a welcome bonus Stanley (or Lasko) went above and beyond.

With so many possible uses, this is a great fan to pick up. If you already have a use for something like this, look no further this is your best bet. Highly recommended.

I am on my 3rd one of these fans...not because they break, but because people keep borrowing them from me and not wanting to return them because it is such a great little fan. I have been using it for almost 4 years now and would never purchase a different one. It is perfect for just about every job needing a fan. We use ours primarily in the bedroom at night when sleeping because it is the only fan we have found within this price range that can move air across our giant bedroom...plus it also makes a wonderful & even humming noise that is perfect to sleep to (much like a white-noise maker).

I like to clean our own carpets monthly and this little fan works wonders at drying the carpet within minutes (yes, minutes vs. hours like other fans). You could go buy one of those fancy, huge, professional carpet drying fans and spend approx $200 and get the same results with this much less expensive fan.

I don't use the 2 outlets on the side of the fan, but I imagine they could come in handy for some folks. The power cord on this thing is quite robust, which is a good thing if you were to plug in power tools. The cord is of a decent length, too. One of my favorite things about this fan is the rubber feet is has mounted on the bottom to keep it from scooting around. It's electrical areas are mouted a few inches off of the ground so I don't worry when placing it on wet carpet or tile.

Now, this fan has a very narrow direct route of air-flow and really doesn't do a good job of moving air across a wide area, you have to gradually move it if you wish to dry a wide area. This doesn't bother me because I wasn't looking for that in a fan. One other negative to is is the plastic housing...it shouldn't be dropped. I have dropped mine a few times on mostly carpeted floors and I can see where the seam in the middle is spreading (not breaking, just spreading apart). This hasn't affected it in anyway, but worth noting that it is not so durable if dropped. Only other thing worth mentioning, is the fact that it should be cleaned often if exposed to a lot of dust because it can get trapped inside & cause the fan to make a very annoying whistling noise.
