VORNADO Personal Vortex Heater VH101 (Red)



Love love
We have 3 of these fans, two in black and one in white. I love the white one it is stylish and modern looking and it works a treat. The first one we had lasted four years of nearly everyday use (fan) and lots of use of the heater too. Ideal for small spaces but probably not bigger rooms.

Personal Heater
I chose this because my feet get cold when I lay on my couch. I set it on a stool, turn it on, and It keeps my feet toasty. This would be great for people that work in a cooler than normal office environment to keep chilled feet warm.
I highly recommend it!

LASKO 5965 PIVOTING CERAMIC HEATER with ELECTRONIC CONTROL



Small, flexible and does the job
I've used it for two winter seasons in a 20 x 20 room over the garage to supplement the faint wisp of air that comes from the main house HVAC system. The room use to be a constant 55-60 degrees. The Lasko is set from November until April on 70 degrees. It has worked very well with no flaws as of yet.

Perfect Fit
I have used my heater for more than four years as a supplement to the central heating in my office in three different buildings. It has worked flawlessly and continues to provide excellent service.

Made in China, need we say more
Received this as a Christmas gift. Used very lightly in my office. Died after a few months of use. Simply won't turn on. I imagine the electronics fried in it from the heat. More likely, there is a chip in there that causes it to die shortly after the warranty is expired.

It's another piece of junk made in China, now destined for a U.S. landfill.

Don't waste your money on Lasko.

Classic Flame Beverly 23MM374-O107 MANTEL ONLY.



Electric Fireplace
This unit is truly prettier than I thought it would be. It matches my other oak furniture perfectly and the fireplace unit makes for cozy ambiance. It was very easy to put together and I got it together in a couple of hours. I did have help screwing in the small screws in the back since I was getting tired at that point in the evening but it was really very simple. I'd highly recommend this unit.

Fireplace is electric forced air, does ok
Mantle and electric fire place is the easiest i have ever assembled. dowel rods and a few lil screw bolts. looks decent, has a darker stain than i wanted, is not real wood. it is particle board with oak face. a little expensive but is not an eye sore.

Lakewood 792/JR 750/1500 Watt Fan Forced Utility Heater



Great little heater
I bought this heater a few years ago for my RV and it has performed excellent. On one trip it to Alaska it was on full power for over 2 months and no problem. A very vell made little compact unit. A+++

I like mine when its running
I like mine when its running. I have only had to fix it about 15 times. I do like it because it was cheap, 17 bucks at Walmart, and puts out plenty of heat. These will cut off sometimes if they have to much dust in them, may be a safety feature. I had one little wire in it that kept coming loose or arcing. Had to fix that about 10 times or so. The last time must have been the trick. Someone at Walmart told me she had about 20 in the back that people had brought back. In other words, nothing but problems. But if you can fix stuff its not that bad. The case is actually very durable. Simple basic design. I may have just got a bad one. Kinda reminds me of an old car I had that ate a starter every 80,000 miles. Got so use to fixing it that it became no big deal, and only took a few minutes. I know.... strange review.

Fire Hazard!
After 2 months of use, the fan stopped turning in this heater. This caused the heater coils to turn bright red and overheat. It started smoking profusely. My circuit breaker did NOT trip, nor did any fuses within the heater unit cut off. Luckily, I just happened to be nearby and smell the smoke. Another few minutes and my house would have likely burnt down. I will be filing a complaint with the BBB for this Lakewood product.

Real Flame 2610-B 18" Convert to Gel Log Set



Just what I expected
Hubby has allergies and didn't want me burning wood in our fireplace. I really wanted a fire for those cold evenings. This was the perfect compromise. It looks pretty real, the gel crackles like a real fire, and it creates a little warmth. I wish it put off a bit more heat, but I'm happy with it. If used a lot, the gel is kind of expensive though.

gorgeous
not as large as a real fire, or even the photo, but the fireplace is very pretty, it does have an odor the first few times you burn it.

Holmes Compact Heater Fan Model: HFHVP3



Runs forever
I've owned this for 4 years, and have used it every night for at least 365 days. Still runs beautifully. Quiet. Turns itself off for safety if it gets knocked over. Perfect! Get it. Not the best looking, but does the job.

nice heater
I really like this portable heater. I left it on at night and it kept me warm.

I have dropped the heater a couple of times and it still worked pretty good. It blows the heat out quickly when you turn it on.

I recommend this heater.
