Conair Waterfall Foot Spa with Lights, Bubbles, and Heat

Being disabled with foot pain daily, I did my research first before buying this and it had the best reviews overall, excepting the heater issue, but with the Amazon Return Policy I wasn't worried. This machine has everything you'd ever want in a foot massager like powerful bubbles, shiatsu balls for each foot, light therapy (don't know if it really helps), a waterfall for your foot top, and best of all, it fits my size 13 4E width men's feet! The heater will keep your water from growing completely cold, maintaining it at about 80-85 degrees, definitely not hot but better than nothing. It would be surprising if a manufacturer made a foot massager heater really all that hot, due to the potential liability issues, especially with children. So overall I'm very excited to own this and am not that concerned about the heater. I start the water at about 110 degrees which gives me a 30-45 minute soak, which is all I need. If you are a woman or just concerned about how your feet look, you'll really love this Conair FB-52 since it has all the pedicure attachments you could ever want. I don't even bother with them but now that I've been using this machine for 2 weeks now, I've noticed that all the dead skin and callouses are entirely gone from my feet, just in rubbing the dead skin off while drying after a soak. This machine comes highly recommended from this customer. It would be a great gift for the woman who has everything, and especially helpful for pregnancy foot pain issues at the end of the day. Overall: Great buy for $40 on a product that will get used.

Unit works well with the blue lights, waterfall, and pumice stone. It's not quite a portable spa, but it is better than a plastic tub with hot water. The instructions say that the heat should last about 20 minutes and it does.

What you should know is that this machine does not heat cold water. You have to put in hot water, about 110 degrees, and the machine will slightly heat the water, but not much. With the bubbles, waterfall, and everything running the temperature drops sharply within about 15 minutes.

If you want a relaxing foot soak with passive massagers, bubbles, and a waterfall, this unit is perfect.

Don't expect too much, though, from a $40 product. Was I happy to have purchased it? Yes. It does everything I want and came at a bargain.

I'll knock it down one star because the marketing builds it up to be more than it is.

Buy Conair Waterfall Foot Spa with Lights, Bubbles, and Heat Now

Based on documentation the heater is intended to "maintain temperature of warm water"

First use hinted that it wasn't doing the job, so I ran some tests with a digital thermometer. Hot tap water with the unit not plugged in lost 10-11 degrees in 10 minutes.

Same test with the heat/bubbles ON showed a drop of 28 degrees in 10 minutes. Another test with heat/bubbles plus waterfall shoed a drop of 31 degrees in 10 minutes.

Conclusion: the heater is too feeble to keep up with heat loss from room air being mixed with the water (bubbles or bubbles plus waterfall).

We returned for a refund.

this unit should be another 4 to five inches wider. It hurts around the ancle area because you have to sit tightly and straight instead of being relaxed!

I did a lot of product research before adding this particular model to my wish list, where my husband found and purchased it for me. I saw that it got very mixed reviews (as did pretty much all its competitors), but it seemed the best of the lot, and some of the negative comments might be chalked up to product misuse. Unfortunately I must now add mine to the others (I will be returning the product).

Pros:

Lots of bells and whistles. The lighting is pretty (although it serves no other function), and the waterfall is pleasant. While others have complained about excessive splashing, I did not find that to be the case on any setting when filled to the "max" fill line; it did splash out a few drops, but not enough to be any problem. I wonder if some of the complaints about splashing may have been due to over-filling. When the unit is filled to the "max" line, the water does not cover the foot, so it would seem natural to over-fill it. It has several attachments that look like they might have been useful had they been located somewhere accessible to the feet. The massaging rollers might be quite pleasant for someone with very small feet. Aside from the roller usage, the unit is plenty large enough for big feet (mine are size 10, and I believe the unit would even accommodate my husband's size 14 feet, albeit not with much room to move).

Cons:

The unit is horribly uncomfortable. Although I was sitting with my legs in as vertical a position as possible, the narrower width at the heel and straight sides of the unit means that it was quickly causing bruising above my ankles on either side. My feet are too large to make use of the massage rollers, so I removed them; both came out in pieces. The manual said that if the rollers are removed, the feet may be massaged on the gel insert; however, there was no other mention of a gel insert, nor was one included with my unit. The trough that had previously held the massage roller was sharp and painful with it removed.

Not recommended.

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.

The item was smaller than it appeared (yes I read the measurements). It's all press board. About 10% of the holes were not totally complete or slightly off center. The door panels have clear plastic not glass. The fire looks far less realistic than hoped. The fan is a bit noisy. Basically it is worth about $125 at best (being generous). I would not recommend this product.

Great Northern Popcorn Red Pasadena 8 Ounce Bar Style Antique Popcorn Machine

List Price: $429.95

Today's Bonus: 54% Off

We purchased and received this machine about a month ago from Amazon.com. Since then we've enjoyed using it. Set up was a breeze...nothing difficult to assemble. We wiped everything down to sanatize it and popped our first batch. While our first batch as decent...we had quite a few unpopped kernals (we didn't use enough oil) and have had to refine our technique a bit. The machine itself seems to be of decent quality for $200 bucks. It's worked just fine and we have absolutely no complaints at this point.

This is what we've learned in the past month that may be of use to others. If you don't use enough oil you'll end up with a lot of unpopped kernals. We use about 4 TABLESPOONS of oil with 1 cup of popcorn and it seems to be the perfect combination. One cup of popcorn weighs about 7 ounces and that's the perfect amount for my wife and I.....yes we do love popcorn. If you're not as much into popcorn as we are....you could probably give a nice treat to 4 or 5 people with one cup of unpopped corn and 4 tablespoons of oil.

One thing we'd highly suggest is that you use a product called "Flavacol" which is basically butter flavored salt. You add it right to the oil in the pot before adding the popcorn. We used about a level TEASPOON for one cup of unpopped popcorn and it was about right for us. It's the product that two movie theaters use that we asked....that's how we found out about it. It definately does give your popcorn that "movie theatre taste" we all know and love. We couldn't find Flavacol around town here....so we found you can order it from Amazon or Ebay or probably a number of other places as well. It's cheap...so no worries about the cost.

Buy this machine and go forth and enjoy !

Popcorn tastes as good as the machine looks. It is really an afordable way to go for a small store, church or such. We had used it at our local church for family video showings. We also used it for Bible school events. It has held up well and still looks great. It is very easy to use and clean.

I read the reviews for this and other 8 oz popcorn machines and decided that this popcorn machine would be a good value for the money. I think I was wrong. The first issue is with the drop down door, when opening the glass doors, it always falls off of the 2 little slots for it. Maybe I can install a couple of hinges to hold it in place. The second issue is with the kettle itself. It doesn't fit the 2 brackets hanging down very well. Also, the lids on the kettle flip up and do not fall back down as the popcorn is popping and about half of the kernals come out without popping. It may also be the depth of the kettle (it isn't much deeper than the 4 oz popper I had before this), I don't know. If I was using cheap popcorn, I would blame that, but I use the Gold Medal 8 oz packets.

I was hoping to make movie night more fun and making the popcorn less of a chore but in the end, I believe the 4 oz machine was easier to use and considering the amount of popcorn actually popped, was less time consuming. It's too bad really, I had high hopes that this was going to work for my family. The kids were able to use the last one we had but this one is too much trouble for them to even mess with. For the $225 (with shipping) I spent, I can't say I could recommend this model to anyone else.

We bought this heater to use in our living room and kitchen/dining area. We have all baseboard heat and our heating bills are usually through the roof. This heater does a good job and we are very happy, but there are a few things to point out.

1. It is a smaller heater than you might expect. It is half the price of an eden pure...but be advised that it's about half the size of the eden pure my parents have. That said, I think I'd rather have two of these than one eden pure that way I can space them out more.

2. This thing won't heat a 1000 sq/ft area. We use it in a 250-300 sq/ft living room that has an opening to our kitchen dining room that is about 250 sq/ft. It will heat up the room and maintain when it is as cold as the 20's outside...colder than that and we need to use our baseboard w/ this heater to get it up to temp (in about 10 minutes mind you)...and then this heater will do a great job of maintaining that heat on it's own. We did this down to about 4-5 degrees(F) outside and it worked great.

3. Haven't got a clue on heating bill, but it does draw some serious current. I have blown our breaker more than once by using this heater and our vacuum on the same outlet (always forget the heater is on...see 4)

4. Heater is very quiet and you won't even realize the thing is on except for seeing the orange glow back inside of the heater.

5. The wheels are awesome. We usually heat the living room for a few hours, then wheel it into the kitchen dining room for 20 minutes, then back for a couple hours.....super easy to do as you walk by and keeps both rooms at a comfy 71-74 degrees.

Bottom line is it is a great heater. It is drawing a lot of current but probably not more than 2 baseboard heaters that we virtually don't use now.....which have their own breaker each. I'd recommend it highly as it really gives you the cozy feeling that you don't get with those heaters that heat the air....compared to this one that heats you and the objects in the room. You can really tell the difference.

...you need to invest a little time in thinking about 1) what it is you want it to do and, 2) coming to grips with what it is actually capable of.

A lot of people buy this heater (24%) after looking at the EdenPure portable electric space heater. I am guessing that those who do are looking to save about fifty bucks over the cost of the EdenPure and believe (correctly) that it is a virtual replica of the EdenPure. And that would be just wonderful if the EdenPure portable electric space heater (and this one) lived up to the hype that surrounds it. The problem is neither one does...they are both being promoted with false premises.

In fact, some claims are pure lies. Take this one: "Testing shows, the Dr. HeaterTM has 60% more heat output compared to most other heaters on the market." Ask yourself, what testing and compared to what heaters? You should be highly suspicious anytime a claim such as this is made without reference to the actual testing. Who did the testing? When was the testing done? What heaters were tested in comparison to this one? Odds are that there was never any testing done because the claim they are making is ridiculous. Here's why: Electric heat is electric heat no matter how you slice it or dice it. The only way that a 1500 watt electric heater can have 60% more heat output than "most other heaters on the market" is if "most other heaters" are rated at 938 watts. Period. End of story. It doesn't matter how the electric heat is produced or delivered, if the wattage rating is the same then the heat output is the same.

The makers of this heater also throw around mysterious science sounding stuff like "PTC." So just what is PTC? It stands for positive temperature coefficient and that sounds pretty high tech, too, doesn't it? So what is it? It is a ceramic heating element that is designed to heat to a specific temperature and varies the wattage consumed in order to maintain that temperature. In other words, it's self regulating. That's actually a nice feature and a big improvement over the stupid light bulb in copper pipe design that is employed by the EdenPure. (EDIT: Oops, just noticed that Dr. Heater uses quartz light bulbs with a PTC element so they are nearly as dumb as EdenPure) But does it justify spending two hundred bucks (or more) on the Dr. Heater? Well that depends on what your heating goals are. Let's explore that a little more...

First of all the only way that this heater (or the EdenPure) is going to save you any money at all on your utility bill is if you change your lifestyle. If you, like most of us, live in a house with multiple rooms then you need to realize that this heater is designed to heat ONE room. And, depending on the climate in your location, that might turn out to be a pretty small room. And while this is going on the rest of the house is going to be colder, maybe a lot colder. If you can make it through the winter living in one room in your house then this might be the heater for you. Most of us, however, move about the house from room to room and we enjoy doing so in relative comfort. A portable electric space heater (regardless of brand name) is not going to heat your entire house. And if you did put an electric space heater in enough rooms to make the house comfortable you would absolutely freak out when the electric bill comes due.

Here is a little math to explain that:

Let's say that you have a 10 cent per kilowatt utility rate. Let's also say that the heater is on 50% of the time. There are 720 hours in a thirty day month so that would be 360 hours for 50% operation. 1500 watts x 360 hours is 540 kilowatt hours. Multiply that against a ten cent rate and you get 54 bucks. Think about that for a second or two: 54 bucks to heat ONE room in your house for a month. And remember, that is assuming that it's only on for half the time. What if it's on for 2/3's of the time? Or 3/4's of the time? Yikes! Not good, campers, not good at all. And holy cow, what if you live in New England where it's cold AND the electric rate is over 15 cents a KWH? Double yikes! This is why (with the exception of heat pumps) electricity based heating is your worst heating value. Always has been and always will be.

And if you do live in a place that gets really cold then this "heat one room" strategy could blow up in your face if it results in a frozen and broken water pipe in an area that you aren't heating properly. This could happen quite easily if the electric heater is in or near the same room that the whole house furnace thermostat is in.

So what's the bottom line? First of all remember that electricity is (usually but not always...see below) a terrible value in terms of heating. Then also remember that the only thing that counts with electric heaters is the wattage. The biggest electric heater that you can plug into a standard wall receptacle will be rated at 1500 watts and they all produce the same heat regardless of bogus claims made to the contrary. That is basic science. Third, ask yourself if you really want to live this way: A prisoner to the warmth in ONE room of your house. If these things are okay with you (and if you insist on spending two hundred bucks or more for the same heat that can be had for fifty bucks or less) then go for it. Just don't expect this portable electric space heater to keep your whole house comfortable (it won't) while simultaneously saving you bucket loads of money. It just isn't going to happen.

A better idea would be to invest some money in beefing up the insulation values in your home. Especially look at your floor. You would be surprised how many people live in a home (built over a ventilated crawl space) with an un-insulated floor. Take a look at sealing up cracks and crevices in exterior walls and around doors and windows where warm air leaks out and cold air can infiltrate. These fixes aren't particularly hard and after they are done they last forever. They aren't as sexy as magic electric heaters but they do work.

EDIT/UPDATE: See my comment (dated 3-7-2013 on page 15 of the comments for this review) where I discuss yet another alternative to the overpriced "magical" electric space heater, the PTHP. If you want to spend big bucks on an electrically powered heater then this is THE way to go. It's more than 100% efficient. Seriously, it really is. Best value out there for this sort of thing.

I received the DR Heater, and so far it is AWESOME. I had another brand of heater, and it's in the basement already. Quiet isn't quite the word for this heater. I have a propane gas insert for our fireplace. I thought it had a quiet fan, until I turned the DR Heater on. The fan in the gas insert drowns out the DR Heater fan. I had to put my ear down to it to tell if it was running or not. The heat output is exactly what they clame it to be. It has twice the features as the $400.00 unit. My house is well insulated, so I am not sure how it will work for everyone else. I can tell you that I highly recommend this Heater. It's should be a money saver. This is an update. Whats nice about this heater is the two types of heat output. This heater has only one bulb in it, so when the bulb goes bad, you still have heat output. I had the bulb go out, and the company sent me a replacement bulb. I received great support from DR Heater. Will buy another one.

I found that the heater generally does what it claims to do, except for the size of the room it is supposed to heat. We used it exclusively in our basement rec room and it had to struggle to get the room tempurature over 70 degrees running on high. Outside tempurature was normally in the mid thirties to the mid-forties. It ran very quietly, attractive and the remote system is great. The heater did not get hot, as advertised. It would probably work great in a smaller room such as a bedroom.

In late August I purchased the heater. When we received it we noticed that it made a lot of noise so I called Vincent at the support number. He was willing to return it or I could keep it and get a small refund. I choose the refund which was generous. The noise was like the bearings were loose in the fan motor and Vincent verified that it would not affect the performance. The noise was acceptable in other rooms other than our bedroom so we purchased another unit that was a 2011 model and it is quiet and works well in our bedroom. If you purchase a unit for you bedroom make sure it is not the 2009 model; the 2011 is redesigned with many improvements and larger in size. Overall, I am pleased with my buying experience.

UPDATE:

I have had the 2011 model for about a month. I feel there is a problem with the software changes they made to the display. It only displays the set-point rather than the temperature so you don't know what the temperature is. I tried to bring this to their attention but their email address does not work: . This is very frustrating not to be able to see the current room temperature; it makes no sense to display the set-point continuously. If Dr.Heater reads this, contact me. MC0061439310

I purchased this to provide a bit of warmth while working in my uninsulated northern garage. I liked the very utilitarian appearance and have had good experience with the Patton brand. Unfortunately this unit just does not have enough output to be noticed in such an environment. The small, single-speed fan just does not move the heated air far enough away from the unit; to get any benefit from it I have to be right on top of it. I never expected it to heat the whole garage but I did expect it to provide some noticeable warming in a few foot radius. This it does not do. If you have a very small space that will contain the heated air better, you might find it acceptable. But generally I would advise looking for a larger-diameter blower with at least two speed settings.

With dozens of so called "ceramic" portable heaters on the market it can be very difficult to sort through all the models. Here are the facts friends; Pelonis (Del Rain) pionerred the original fully ceramic portable heaters back in the mid 80's...these models use 100% ceramic heating (disc design) elements and will approximately double the amount of heat available, watt for watt, than all other so called "ceramic" heaters. Why the confusion? the lower cost units (20-30$) use very small ceramic conductive elements which are then joined to long metal type heating fins; (there is only an upfront cost saving); the pelonis disc furnace will pay for itself in less than one heating season! And, by the way, our own space shuttles employ this same type of heating unit on their missions. Case dismissed.

My Dad bought an original Peopnis disc furnace in 1982 because it was used on NASA flights to heat the spacecrafts. How cold does it get up there???

We still have it and it works great.

I have bought over 25 Pelonis furnaces since then. They originally called them furnaces for a reason. Here are the pros and cons. The ones with forced air are not as good as the true ceramic. The ones with out the ceramic discs are not any better than other cheap heaters. The Original ceramic only are excellent par anything They heat up the rooms in our trailer from 25 degrees to 75 degrees 10x12 rooms) and turn off automatically in about 15 minutes. That is unbelieveable The heat penetrates into the furniture and into you. It is not just ehating the air it heats the contents of the room. We did get a black plastic one and it did melt the case when we had it too close to a metal item but oh well, it still runs 10 years later!!! I recommend the original Pelonis with temp control, the browm metal box type. We have had the newer styles and oscilating and no it is not like the original for sure. Thanks for listening

Do not buy this heater or any Pelonis product. I bought this heater two months ago. I turned this heater on and it burned my linoleum floor. I tried calling the number on their web site and it just rings and rings. I sent an email to them and I have not received a response.

I bought the same model twenty years ago and was extremely happy with it. Comparing it with the new model there is no comparison. The new one is built really cheap and flimsy. The are lots of plastic parts with the new one. My old was made in the USA while the new one now made in China.

The fireplace works fine in it's most important aspect: generating heat. It has a stylish, very contemporary design. The glass front is thick and smooth and you don't need to worry about cracking it. The blue backlit display turns off after a few seconds which is nice. Great remote that supports all functions. There are a few annoyances that were weighing too heavily for us and made me return it, though: First, since the unit is only a few inches deep and it is either wall-mounted or on the stand there is no easy way to hide the cord, which really spoils the appearance. The fan is a little noisy and keeps on running even when the heat is turned off, probably to cool the two lamps and to generate the light effect. The "crackling wood" sound effect sounds hollow and thin but can thankfully be turned off. Finally, the light effect is not realistic at all, just a waving background.

If you don't mind these annoyances, it is a good product.

Even though it doesn't look like a tradtional fireplace, I still like it. It fits just about anywhere without taking up a lot of space. I don't like that it doesn't have life like flames; it's just a glowing, moving background. I bought it mainly because it has a REMOTE CONTROL!!! That is a wonderful feature! It has three stages of glowing brightness, which is great. I don't like the sound that is supposed to be crackling wood, but when I lower the sound, it sounds better and more like a crackling fireplace. It's easy enough to carry up to the bedroom, den, basement, wherever you want to put it. Just plug it into any outlet; but because it's 1500 wats,you mustn't have anything else plugged into the same socket outlet. I would recommend it to anyone.

I never write reviews, so you know I must like this product. Enjoy!

Took me over an hour. Then they wanted to argue about the warranty rather than help me to either return the product or to repair it. It lasted from Dec 13th 2010 to March 1st 2011. Was pleased with product until it quit working. Won't buy another Bionaire product ever !! Terrible customer service !

These fireplaces are a FIRE HAZARD. I owned one and it burnt up. Took it back to the store and found out that ALL of them were being RECALLED in Canada. STAY AWAY, PLEASE!

This was a disaster. The third day I used my fireplace it burst into flames. I am so concerned that this product is not safe I was right there and could put the fire out if not the house would have caught on fire. I've reported this problem to amazon and The Nerds, and the manufacturer, and have not heard anything back.

Terri glad to be alive...

This humidifies quite well far better than the tea kettle we were using. At two quarts, capacity, an overnight stoke of the fire will about empty it. Wish it was about one half quart larger. It steamed off almost to the bottom once, due to my forgetting to keep tabs on it, and got so hot the enamel on the interior bottom blew off with a pop. No real damage, since that will always remain under water. It is also difficult to see how full it is when topping off, so keep a hot pad around, and don't drop the ceramic cover.

This is a nice water heater. At first I bought the similar Z-brand VE energy saving unit. Its problems were a AC cord that would constantly fall off and the built-in computer would error-fail every time the unit reached programmed temp; this would require a "reboot" to get it to respond again! The TIGER costs more by a few bucks and holds slightly less water. But it is NICE: The steam rarely flies out of the vents, there is so very little of it to waste heat. The computer is responsive and trouble-free. There is no need to "reboot" the bottle because it reheats only as needed and can discontinue heating to drop a few degrees, to save power. The power savings will add up greatly. I had several "Secura" heaters that were cheap in both price and quality. My Secura units, using distilled water, failed in 1-month, 14 months, and 15 months. The Tiger should outlast those units because the bottom is better insulated. That saves energy and prevents the heat from constantly abusing the electronic control module that sits beneath the water bottle in these water heater/dispensers. One note: the water can be pushed out in two ways: there are a pair of buttons on top, one to enable dispensing, and one to actually dispense; this is fairly standard. Then there is a lockable air-pump control so you can push out water manually if you are disconnected from AC power. Some high priced Z-brand water bottles lack the air pump button, so if you lose power, or take your bottle someplace, you cannot dispense!

Qmark / Marley LFH1502P Portable Electric Hydronic Heater - 120 Volts - 1500 Watts

This a great heater. It blends unobtrusively into the room. Just set it to the desired temprature and watch it take over! It has 5 different heat settings which automatically go up or down depending on the temprature setting. It quietly warms up the entire room without the heat blast "in your face" that other heaters have. Great for the early winter time when you need some heat and avoid turning the full house heat on. I have 3 bedroom floor (about 1000 sq feet) and this heater was enough when the outside temp was in the low 40's and I did not need to turn the house heat on.

This portable hydronic heater works very well on a plug in 120vac receptacle and is very economical versus the regular convection heaters which keep you either too hot or too cold. It keeps my smaller room at a constant and comfortable temperature as per my setting. The reason for the 4 rating is the digital readout and controls are too low. I have to get on my hands and knees to set them, which isn't all too often, however It would be nice if Marley would either incorporate a remote control or position the readout and controls at a more convenient level. I also wish Marley would make this heater in a smaller version, like approx. 36-48 inches as I do have a need for a less lengthy one. Some other manufactures have smaller ones but they all require 240VAC and are not portable since they must be attached to a wall and do require an additional wall mounted thermostat. No thanks, too expensive and too complicated and involved for me!

It keeps shutting off instead of reaching the set temperature for the room . Will not heat long enough to reach the desired temperature .

We are on a budget and wanted a fireplace insert for our custom fireplace surround that we were building. Our major concerns were price (of course), realism and depth of unit. I knew the price and size were good from the description but I was a little leery about the flame effect. I unpacked it and fired it right up and was quite impressed with the effect, it is better than I thought it was going to be.

On the heating ability I would describe its heat output and noise level equivalent to a ceramic heater.

My wife now wants another one for our bedroom.
