Aloha 5,120-BTU Home Hearth with Thermostat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My drafty little cottage is hard to heat. I tried an oil filled radiator. I tried a triple ceramic tower with fan. I still had to wear my coat. Together those two units cost less than half than this one. I should have just spent the money and bought this unit. It uses the same 1500W (at full power, there's also a 750W setting) and now I wear a sweater. Like the other reviewer I haven't noticed the unit get hot to the touch at all. And it looks charming too. Yeah, it costs more, but it's worth it if you really need the heat.

Chrome Microwave Cart Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I crossed my fingers when I purchased this cart because of the mixed reviews. Worse case scenario, I'd just return it. I'm pleased to say that I am quite satisfied with the cart. I find it very sturdy (the bottom shelf holds up to 44 lbs!). In assembling it, I initially put the bottom shelf on upside down (the lip should be toward the floor). This mistake made the cart very unsteady, but as soon as I turned it right side up, everything came together like a glove. It's a handsome piece with lots of storage space. I keep my crock pot, rice cooker, and blender on the bottom shelf to clear counter space. Keeping these 'heavy' items on the bottom shelf and locking the whells also steadies the unit so that it doesn't move when using the sliding adjustable-height top shelf. I'd recommend it. Hope you found this review helpful.

Kero World KW-24G 23,000-BTU Indoor Portable Convection Kerosene Heater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We live in a 3rd story condo, and are planning a New Years party. We just redesigned our patio built benches, made cushions, and I wanted the patio to be comfortable to sit on while outside. Our patio is open to the east, and also open in the nook to the north. So I needed something that was going to produce enough heat to keep the patio warm. We tried two other heaters (electric) before buying this one. They were horrible!
I bought mine at home depot, and they have the fuel there. I think I have a different model (DuraHeat Convection Kerosene Heater Model DH2304), but it is the same amount of BTU's and the the same design, just looks a little different. This heater is amazing...we filled up half the tank, and have used it the last few nights to test it out. It heats up the whole area and keeps the heat coming! I plan on putting a sheet up in the nook using an expandable rod, (don't worry the sheet won't hang near the heater) I just want to try to block some of the cold air from coming in! A lot of heat comes out of the top, so I am hoping it will keep more of the heat in the patio area!
If you are looking for a great patio heater, this is the one to buy! Especially if you live in a condo! I am pretty sure we are not allowed to have propane, plus who wants a 20lb propane tank hanging around! This heater is ok'd for indoor, and if we ever loose our heat, we won't be cold! As long as we have kerosene!
There are instructions for the care of this heater, and I suggest you read them. There is important information about dry burning and cleaning the wick etc. They stress the importance of these things to keep your heater working properly! I am new to this (Giant Lantern) but the instructions are very detailed and easy to understand! Good luck!

The Kero World portable indoor kerosene heater is great for heating small to medium indoor spaces (up to 900 square feet). Matchless ignition makes this a convenient source of instant heat--without having to plug it in, either. The built-in 1.9-gallon tank gives you up to 12 hours of heat. The manufacturer recommends using only clean kerosene. Two-year warranty.--Josh Dettweiler
What's in the BoxHeater, C batteries (2)

Five Tips for Buying a HeaterChoosing a space heater is a matter of sifting through a bewildering array of types, power ratings, and fuel sources. Let's break it down a little to make the process easier.

What are the different types of space heaters?
Radiant heaters emit infrared radiation that directly warms the objects in front of the heaters (rather than the surrounding air). If you only need heat by a desk or in a small section of a room, a radiant heater is quiet and will use very little power.
Forced-air heaters use a fan to blow air that has been warmed by metal or ceramic heating elements. A forced-air heater is appropriate for quickly heating up a small- to medium-sized room, but can be noisy.
Convection heaters draw cold air from the floor; the air is warmed by heating coils and emitted from the top of the heater. A convection heater is appropriate for quickly heating up a small- to medium-sized room, but also can be noisy.
Radiators work by heating oil enclosed in a reservoir, gradually heating the surrounding air. If heating speed isn't an issue, you might want to opt for a radiator. These are extremely quiet and effective--perfect for bedrooms.


Should I buy an electric or a combustion model?If you want a heater that will be available in emergencies, or that can heat areas larger than a single room, choose a "combustion" model--one that is powered by a gas or fuel like propane, kerosene, natural gas, or diesel. Which fuel type you choose depends largely on convenience and local availability. For example, diesel would be appropriate for a heater you take with you on long car trips.

How powerful a heater do I need?Heaters are rated by BTU, which stands for British Thermal Unit (the amount of heat needed to heat one pound of water by 1 degree F). To find out how many BTU you need:
Calculate the volume of the space to be heated by multiplying square footage by height.
Multiply that number by 4 if your insulation is poor, 3 if it's average, or 2 if it's good.
The resulting number is a ballpark figure for how many BTU you'll need.
Do space heaters cost a lot to operate? As a general rule, electric space heaters are more expensive to use than combustion models. To ensure energy efficiency, a thermostat is a must-have feature for any heater. For radiant heaters, models with a 360 degree heating surface can heat larger spaces. If you need a forced-air heater, models with ceramic elements tend to be more efficient.

Are space heaters a fire hazard?Space heaters are implicated in about 25,000 residential fires every year. To ensure proper safety, always follow the manufacturer's usage instructions and fill out the warranty card to receive informational updates from the manufacturer. Also, look for extra safety features such as an automatic shutoff switch that can shut down the unit if, for example, it gets upended. In addition, choose a model where the heating element is adequately enclosed within the unit.

I love it! I don't know if the other one would be better but it doesn't matter. This one does it's job and then some. It holds a charge long enough to take me through 5 rooms and the cellar stairs and picks up cat hair without a problem. It has very good suction and I like the extendable arm.

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 4-1/2-Quart Round French Ovens Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A month or so ago I was crusing the housewares department here at Amazon.com, looking for a Dutch oven. I'd nearly settled on Calphalon, but I read a review (gotta love these things!) which said that though Calphalon was generally the cookware of choice, for Dutch - in this case French - ovens, Le Creuset was the brand to buy. I took this advice to heart, in part because I loved the cherry red finish, and bought this 4.5 quart oven.
I want to thank that reviewer; it was one of the best pieces of advice I've had in ages. Le Creuset has produced one of the best, most versatile pieces of cookware I've ever owned. This pan heats evenly and holds the heat, but you really have to work at getting food to burn in it. It goes from stove to oven to table with real panache. Nothing sticks. Ever. Really, I'm not kidding here because I did manage to burn something by walking away and forgetting about it for an hour. But after another hour's soak and a scrub with a nylon pad, the residue was completely removed, leaving no discoloration of the lovely cream-colored enamel of the interior. I use it nearly every day now; I don't know how I got on for so long without it.
I would also like to point out that the cherry red color is very jolly. It might even provoke you to speak French (or at least with an outrageous Monty Pythonesque French accent) while you're cooking. "Allo, now we add zee ahnyon. Zut alors!" That sort of thing. Of course if you find the idea silly, perhaps you should buy the piece in a more sedate color.
Bottom line, this is a great piece of cookware. C'est vrai!

Emeril Stainless Steel 5-Quart Soup Pot with Pour Spouts and Lid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think it is important to always start off with something positive, so...
I purchased a 14 piece Emeril Stainless set in 2008, and I have been very happy with it. The fit, finish and especially the base design were all up to the demands of my GE Profile ceramic cooktop, which had mercilessly warped all pans that came before the Emeril set.
I recently purchased this 5 Qt soup pot. When it arrived, I was disappointed to see that a number of changes have been made in the product. So many changes, in fact, that the new pot is not a match for my existing set. The handle, lid and base design have all been modified, and in each case, the appearance, heft and quality have been reduced. The fit of the lid is also poorer. Most alarming is the changes in the base. The core material used here is not copper. The weight and thickness of the base has been reduced significantly (30-40%). There is a large dimple in the base now, reducing the surface contact. (Take note, those with ceramic or high output cooktops) There is no getting around the fact that mass of the base matters. It affects the distribution of heat in the pan, and how resilient the pan will be to abuse.
I guess its partly my fault for assuming that a product sold by the same brand and line (Emeril Stainless) would be the same product. This is not. I will be returning the pot to Emeril, or Martha, or whoever. Oh well it was nice while it lasted.

Tjernlund AireShare Room-To-Room Ventilator - Hardwired, Model# AS1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just installed this fan and am very happy with it. Quiet, moves plenty of air and relatively easy to install. One comment is the instructions don't emphasize that both the fan and the diffuser are directional, that is, they each have an opening which must face the other. If this is not noticed, either unit's housing would block the air flow towards the other unitTjernlund AireShare Room-To-Room Ventilator - Hardwired, Model# AS1. Another thing to note is the possibility of a 'block' in the wall cavity. If one unit is mounted high and the other low, one needs to probe the cavity to make sure there is not a 2x4 block midway. The hard part of this installation is accessing and wiring power to the fan, which can involve cutting access holes in the wall and possibly installing a junction box. Not for the casual do it yourself person.
In short, a professional product and far better than the usual cheap, noisy bathroom fan.

(More customer reviews)I was surprised how realistic the fire looked when I first turned this on.
This is a solution to a thorny problem I faced. I have a rental property with what is either a faux or unfinished fireplace: depneds on your viewpoint. I didn't want to remove it,and i sure didn't want someone lighting a fire in it!
I had available electricity and available gas, but unvented logs, though heat-efficient, can oxygen deficit a room if one is not careful. (And who wants to be careful when sleeping!)
So, I took a chance on this baby at net $175 after using my prime and offered Amazon discounts.
The two speed heater and blower is just about right for a small room.
This loses its fifth star because the designers placed the remote receiver on the wall plg instead of the unit. It belongs n the unit, so you can simply point the remote at your fireplace, and it works.
In my case, the wall outlet is not reachable by line of sight, and so the circumstances rendered the remote control - an otherwise nice feature - unusable, and turn thisinto a manually switched fireplace.

Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 11-Inch Square Griddle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's heavy and dead-flat. What can you say about a griddle except that it does exactly what you wish a griddle would do. There are no hot-spots, and the handle stays cool. (The Calphalon Contemporary handles are big, and may get in the way occasionally -- but they stay very cool.)
One thing, though -- the non-stick surface is *really* non stick. Make an omlette and it'll spread over just about the whole bottom of the pan in no-time-flat -- which is just great, so long as you like really thin omlettes. Over-easy eggs can be a bit tricky because it's so slippery -- it's not that easy to get the spatula underneath! (Part of that's because plastic and coated spatulas are thicker than metal ones.) One time I almost pushed an egg right off the griddle and onto the stovetop. But anyone who's ever had something stick to a griddle will not complain that nothing can stick.
Cleanup is strange. It just doesn't get dirty. I've only had this awhile, but I've used it twenty times, and the nonstick is not only still in perfect condition, it doesn't even show the "bright spots" that, with high-quality non-stick cookware, indicates some mechanical burnishing. I think this will last forever.

Refractory Cement Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We were able to build a small wooden form (16" x 20") to cast a broken fireplace tile with the (2) Refactory Cement. Since it was a smallish frame we lined the form with a 13 gal trash bag to keep the mix from coming in direct contact with dry wood. The mix worked up easily and we kept the product moist for the allotted 24 hrs. Approx. 48 hrs later, we unmolded the new tile and a used a fire safety adhesive to install.

The product worked great and only wish I'd considered adding a design into the cast.

Fireplace Scented Jar Candle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really like the scent of this candle. It think that it does smell like a real fireplace. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because like the other reviewer I was surprised at the small size for the price. Also, the candle did not burn evenly and the wick became drowned by wax after several lights. It is not half burnt and the wick has disintregrated and can't be burnt any more. This scent in a bigger/better designed candle would be perfect!

This doesn't smell like a fireplace candle." Burn it first and you'll be amazed.Our 6.5oz Jar Candle is an excellent addition to any room. The fragrance is delightful and the jar size makes it a great value purchase for long burning.

Survival Fire Pen Aluminum Fire Piston Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just wanted to write a review to offset the other, very negative review this thing's gotten.
The product is an aluminum tube with an aluminum plunger. There is a knurled (brass?) screw set into the bottom, and three bands machined around the tube for a grip. The seal for compressing air is achieved by an O-ring, and this seal is sufficiently air-tight to require the knurled screw, to make a relief valve. The relief valve has its own, small O-ring. Vaseline is recommended for lubricating the O-rings, so they must be made from something other than rubber, maybe Maglight-O-ring-material. Despite Les Stroud's endorsement, his name does not appear anywhere on the product, which is good, because he whinges.
In operation... well, it's a fire syringe. You push the plunger, it heats the air. I was able to get the char-cloth supplied with the thing to light after a couple of tries, and since the O-rings are rubber and lubricated with vaseline, I did not need to re-lubricate between attempts. The char-cloth supplied is rather loosely woven (denim?), and will go out it not blown on---I've made better from tee-shirt cotton---but that's not the fault of the product, and easily remedied. I can see the O-rings as a wear item, the large one from repeated plunging and the small one from compression if the fire piston is stored improperly, with the screw tightened; one spare large O-ring is supplied, and I expect that a dive shop will have the right sizes if needed. It can be a little hard on the palm plunging such a skinny piston, but if it were less compact, it wouldn't be as compact, right? If a lot of practicing seems indicated, bracing the bottom against something solid and putting a concave piece of wood or some thick leather under the plunging-hand palm might make it less painful. Again, you can't get something this compact without making it this compact.
Is a Zippo lighter more convenient? Is a disposable Bic more convenient yet? You bet! This is why we use those to light our cigarettes/barbecues/etc. these days rather than fire syringes! But this thing does work as advertised.
