Dimplex Contemporary Convertible II Electric Fireplace



Dimplex Contemporary Convertible II Electric Fireplace - Still Nice
I bought this fireplace to go outside on my covered porch about six months ago. I was slow to provide a review as I at least wanted to see how it held up in this atmosphere after a few months. Well I really did not buy it for necessarily for a lot of heat , more for looks. And it has not let me down. It does produce heat but since my configuration is outside, I really cant say how much heat it would give off inside. But it is sure worth the try.... i love it and my back yard is an extention of my home.

Cadet Manufacturing 79202 240-Volt White Electric Forced Air Heater, 4000-Watt



Excellent Heater
We purchased this heater as a replacement for a gas wall heater that was disconnected by the power company many years ago, deemed unsafe to operate. The Cadet 4000W was professionally installed, requiring both a carpenter for framing and sheetrock, and an electrician. The heater required a separate 240V feed, which was branched off of the dryer circuit. The Heater was easy to install and works very well. We have approx. 850sqft home in Bay Area, CA. This heater is capable of heating the entire space, but we usually keep a couple of rooms closed off. We had been using 1250W space heaters, the Cadet is a huge improvement, no more blown circuits. It heats the space quickly and is fairly quiet. We did our own heat-loss calcs and decided on the 4000W unit. We also liked that it has a two pole thermostat which means it can be switched entirely off. The one weakness is in the thermostat that is mounted in the cabinet, it does not seem to be very sensitive, but is adequate. For more $$$ it...

Comfort Zone CZ442 Comfort Zone



Perfect for under my desk...
Purchased this little heater last winter. I have used it every day for two winters now and it works well. I really like that it has a safety function so that it automatically shuts off when it isn't upright. Super helpful in the event I accidentally kick it over. I don't know that this would be appropriate to heat a room but it certainly helps with the chill in my office.

Didn't last 6 months.
This heater was ok for the time I had it and it worked. It is still within the year warranty period and it stopped working after a few months. I tried (2 weeks ago) contacting Comfort zone via their website and have recieved no response. Bought for 20 bucks at Wal-mart, cheap junk. Will not be buying this brand or from Wal-mart again.

Lasko 33" Touch Control Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control



Energy saver
SAMS has a couple of these towers available, one being the Lasko, the other a Delonghi (which I never heard of). The reviews of the Delonghi are pretty bad, especially the electronics. In my opinion, the simpler the device the better. Howwever, this Lasko has very good reviews, and I also have their tower fans that have lasted for 5 years plus. Also, in these energy sensitive days, where you pay 11 to 12 cents per KWH, these towers consume electric heating at 1.5 KW. That means 18 cents an hour. So, to save energy in the winter, there is absolutely no need to heat the whole house throughout the night, especially if there are only two occupied bedrooms (or less). So, if you set the room thermostat at, say 55 or 60 degrees,and set the house thermostat at, say 50 (or less for you of envigorating character), you can have a comfortable existance. You can thermostatically turn on the main house unit at say, an hour before you get up to unchill the house. Anyhow, this heater will more than...

it pays for itself
i have gas heat and was paying $350 month for a small house in florida during the winter. i intalled a programmable timer and the heat kicks on for an hour every morning while we shower and dress. the rest of the day i use this lasko in the living area. i stay very warm and my heating bill dropped to $100. the price of this heater is $49 and i save $250 month. def worth it! btw... i love the auto shutoff feature. i set the temp at 76 or 78 and it kicks off auto when the room reaches that temp.

Awesome!
I bought two of these at Sams for $49.00 each and absolutely love them. They are quite and fit in a very small area. After they get to the desired temp they shut themself off and then cycle back on. I think they dress up any room. Starting heating the room up right away!! I am ready for a cold night now!

Holmes Triple Ceramic Heater with Comfort Control Thermostat Gray



Great Product - Arrived Quickly
After seeing how well one of these worked for my parents (for the past 3 years), I decided to get one for myself. I ordered it on a Monday and received it by Thursday. (A week ahead of expectation.) I've seen other reviews of this product and can tell you that its fan is NOT loud and it doesn't stink like burnt plastic when used. The remote control is a great feature and a plus. It's exactly what I expected. I saw it cheaper at Target ($34.98) but they were in season clearance sale and out of stock until next winter in the city where I live. With list price at around $132, this price is still a bargain.

Great customer service
I bought this heater last winter and had no problems with it. However, this fall the heater stopped heating on a regular basis. I began shopping for another brand of heater when I decided to call Holmes to see if there was anything they would do for me, despite not having my receipt.

They very helpfully found me a similar, but newer model heater and shipped it out to me free of charge. They said I could dispose of the one that wasn't working. I'm incredibly impressed by how helpful Holmes was. I will definitely look for more Holmes products as a result of their great customer service and warranty.

Working great so far
I got this only a few days ago, but so far it's working awesome. The oscillation helps spread the heat, the heater sits up off the ground a little so you don't have to worry about spilled liquids or overheating carpet, and the digital thermometer is nice for automatic heat regulation.

The only complaint I have is this... there is no audio feedback when changing the temperature with the remote, and since IR is unreliable you don't know for sure that you actually did change the temperature or if the signal was lost and the temp did not change. Strange oversight by engineering since the reliability of IR really is poor.

Anyhow, I highly recommend this over the more dumb heaters where you just turn it to a preset 1/2/3 and let it continue forever. Temp regulated space heating is the best :D

Northgate Floor Lamp Electric Outdoor Heater



but worked only a week
Received the lamp It is beautiful worked great and then quit. Called the company they told me the fuse must have blown even thought I told them I went out and bought one they said it had to be their fuse So waited for it to come tried it didn't work Called them again they asked me what color was the light bulb and told them black and right away told me it was the bulb and they will send me a new one as soon as they get them in stock which by the way will be about a month The Customer Service department was great no trouble at all (except for the fuse item)willing to help I just hope winter isn't over before we get it working again

Really don't know how it works as I did not put it together. The heater may be the best but not for the use I wanted.
Am returning this product because I did not see anywhere that you could not use it on a balcony until I read the booklet enclosed with the lamp. Bought it for my grandson who lives in an apartment and he does not have the space required to use this type of heater. Was disappointed because I was so glad to find an outside heater that looked so good.
