The Fireplace by PurATron Heats Up To 1,000 Square Feet, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although there were almost no reviews avaiable I took a chance and bought this. I was not expecting it to be so loud when the heater is on since the description says that it is a realistic fireplace. Once I got used to the noise from the fireplace I opened the box to assemble the mantle. The instructions are a lot less than detailed, just some pictures, and I receievd more screws than listed on the contents. I dont know what they are for yet. When I started to look at the mantle pieces wrapped in thin white foam, 2 pieces were really damaged (piece #1 and #5)Where they were supposed to be nailed or screwed together they were just flopping. So Ive called govacume 4 times and have not had the opportunity to speak to anyone yet. The last 2 times I called it just rang until it disconnected me. I hope they will make this right. It probably wouldnt be that bad a fireplace if the workmanship and packing of the mantle were better.

Dimplex North America, Ltd. 20'Cherr Elec Fireplace Cfp Specialty Electric Heater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Dimplex CFP3652C 20"Cherry Electric Fireplace looks awesome. The flame is way to dark and there is no controls to make it brighter. The heat it puts out is ok for a small space. Thats all it really is, is a space heater in a fireplace cabinet. The other problem with the Fireplace is it is noisy and can get on ones nerves. The motor in the back makes all kinds of noise after about the 2nd week of use. For the price i paid for this i could have gotten a pellet stove and been much happier. It cost about $40 a mouth to run and that is not savings when you can get a pellet stove for around the same price and save a ton of money and have a real fire place at the same time. Again its nice just priced way to high.

Indoor Electric Fireplace Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is beautiful and feels like real brick, as well as looks like real brick but it does need a hearth under it so that the heat can generate higher and it will look really real. It was delivered undamaged except for a ring mark on the granite mantel which looks like someone put a cup or glass on. I haven't tried to get it out but I am sure it will buff out. I love it regardless of the little things I want to do with it.

Sengoku Heat Mate Portable Radiant Kerosene Heater 10,600 BTU , Beige #HMHR-1101 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this heater for several years and have had no problems whatsoever. About 1/2 the heat is radiant, the other half is hot air rising from the unit.
It will burn for 12 to 14 hours before having to refill its 1-gallon removable tank. During this time, it emits no smell at all. The heat adjustment range is from 90% to 100% - like any kerosene heater, it is not safe to try to turn it down below this range.
The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the electric lighter bulb burns out too easily - it is like a flashlight bulb without the glass bulb - when you press the igniter, the bulb's glowing filament presses against the wick, igniting it - if the wick doesn't break the filament. In this case, a long wand butane lighter works just fine.
It is true that the very first time a kerosene heater is lit, it will stink. Once the burner has come up to operating temperature for the first time, the metal parts become annealed and ready for use. If the other reviewer lit it for the first time indoors, not knowing this, it would have been a very unpleasant surprise. The first time should be outdoors. After that, you can take it inside.

Duraflame 20" Electric Fireplace Log Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was a little worried about ordering this because I'd read a couple reviews that didn't think the fire looked real enough in their fireplace that was never used with a real fire. BUT, ours had been used a few times and had the black on the inside back.....so when the "fire" from this electric log set projects on ours with the black stuff...it looks GREAT! The heat is very adjustable or can be turned off completely, leaving on just the "flames". I actually think this looks better in person than in the pictures. And, most importantly, NO CLEAN UP! ;)

Reddy Heater 30,000 BTU Propane Forced-Air Heater #RLP30 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Can't stand the smell of half burned kero so bought propane. Quickly heats up 1000 sq ft. Think of four high output burners on gas stove at full throttle and you can imagine the heat output. Very noisy, you wan't be able to work long in the same room. NOTE: HD sells the 40,000 BTU for $90. 20 lb tank is extra of course, and $20 propane refill should last 10 or more hours.

The Reddy Heater RLP30 30,000 Btu propane heater is a great option for the home user. For relatively little cost you get enough Btu to effectively heat a well-vented, medium-sized garage or workshop (up to 700 square feet). It's efficient, too, giving you up to 14 hours of heat from a single 20-pound propane cylinder (not included). Hookup is simple: just attach the included 10-foot hose and regulator, plug it in, hit the push-button ignition, and you've got heat. A built-in safety system turns the heater off if the flame goes out. CSA certified. One-year warranty.--Josh Dettweiler

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.

The MH125FAV is the least powerful of Mr. Heater's line of propane forced-air heaters for smaller jobs (see the MH55FAV and the MH85FAV). The heater gives you 35,000 Btu--enough to heat 800 square feet. Though the larger models give you more Btus, each heater in the line shares the same basic features, including an automatic shutoff with loss of flame or power supply and a high-output fan that circulates heat quickly. Hooking the heater up to the 20-pound propane cylinder (not included) is easy, and the 10-foot hose and regulator are included. CSA certified. One-year limited warranty.--Josh Dettweiler

Comfort Zone CZ7007 Deluxe 7 Fin Oil Filled Radiant Heater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We live in a large old home in Central PA, and do not have any heating source on our second floor. We heat our home with a pellet stove in our basement which provides a general passive warmth, and we have three gas cast iron stove units on the first floor, which are on a thermostat. Most rooms in our house have large 6 foot windows, our master bath has 3 of them. The room also faces west, and takes the brunt of most of the bad weather in winter, and is a veritable ice box, with no heat source. We use this heater in our bathroom, set the thermostat at medium, and it warms the room nicely. Our bathroom is about 10x10, with a separate toilet and tub alcove, so not a tiny room. This heater is simple to use, efficient, and we have never had a problem with it, even after several years of ownership.

For dependable light without having to worry about electrical wiring or fully charged batteries, this indoor propane gaslight comes in handy. The unit emits the same amount of light as a 70-watt light bulb and produces 11 hours of light per pound of propane. It delivers long-lasting light without wicks to trim, fuel to spill, or batteries to replace. Even more, the indoor light offers a sleek, classic design that will nicely complement almost any decor, whether in a cabin, lodge, RV, camper, shed, or barn.

To turn the light off, move the gas valve handle to the "off" position. Other details include a standard LP orifice and simple installation. For added convenience a pre-formed mantle comes included for use in cabins and permanent structures, as well as a soft mantle for use in RVs and campers.

Kero World KW-11F 10,000-BTU Indoor Portable Radiant Kerosene Heater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used one of these for about 3 fill-ups now: about 36 hours of use. (I don't think it will ever be 16 hours on 1 gallon, but 12 is fine by me.)
It's flawless. It smells a very little bit at start-up and shut-down, but while it's running it's essentially odorless. And perfectly quiet (a very soft gurgle once every ten minutes or so when it needs to sip some fuel into some internal tank) -- and it puts out a lot of heat.
I have a room that's maybe 300 square feet with 5 big windows. On a cold night (close to 0 degrees F.) this thing can warm up that room by 2 or 3 degrees in 10 minutes, and maybe by 8 or 9 degrees in an hour. If you sit across the room and it's pointed straight at you, you can feel it right away.
It easy to fill up. There's a cannister that you carry outside (garage) and fill from your kerosene container with a hand-powered siphon. Worked the first time. This may not work if your outdoor kerosene container is too low, but then you can just use a funnel. The cannister stands up nicely by itself for filling, on a level surface (like a garage floor).
There's a little window on the cannister that lets you see when it's almost empty during use -- and when it's almost full during fill-up.
When you want to turn it off, you press the "extinguish" button -- the big knob in the middle winds rapidly counterclockwise -- makes a loud noise -- and the flame usually goes out immediately. Sometimes it may gutter for 30 secs or so before completely going out.
At start-up time the flame gutters a little for maybe 60 secs before the combustor starts to glow red, then the flame stabilizes and becomes perfectly quiet. You can't really see a flame except a little bit of blue -- maybe a quarter inch at the very top of the combustor.
It's very easy to start up using the little battery starter device -- you just push a red button, hold it for a second, then slowly release. I've done maybe 20 starts so far on one pair of batteries. You can start it with a match instead if you want to (or have to.) But the battery-powered starter is nice.The back and the top and sides of the unit stay COOL TO THE TOUCH after an hour of use. Probably indefinitely.
This gadget is an example of a perfect combination of high-tech (the way the combustion works) and low-tech (it's .... kerosene, after all.)
There aren't many things this good. Cast iron pans, maybe? And ... um ... windmills that really work ? I don't know.
I don't see how I could ask this thing to be any better.

Coleman 5053A751 ProCat Perfectemp Catalytic Propane Heater with Instastart Technology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this catalytic propane heater to heat my tent for winter camping with my son for his Cub Scout winter camps. I tried the heater out on a three night camp out the last week of October, 2006 at 7,000 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains. Those nights dipped in the high 20's. The heater worked very well with only a few concerns, which were easily overcome. I placed the lit heater in my tent well in advance of retiring for the evening and 6 hours later replaced the emptied propane cylinder right away and re-started the heater for the remainder of the morning. My son and I were nice and warm when we went to bed and stayed warm all the night through. Sure is nice to be able to stand up and dress in a warm tent in the morning. Next we will be trying the heater out at a snow camp in February with temps expected to be in the low teens.
Reading the directions dismissed any apprehensions of opertion. And yes, as another reviewer commented... the unit does throw out a small fire ball when first lit. YIKES! However, should you read the instructions BEFORE USE... you are forewarned about this and the reader is instructed NOT to light the heater facing anyone/pets/tent or indoors because of this issue. Instructions are not placed with the item for looks you know, you have to read them! OK, it spits out a small fire ball at first. Big deal... nothing too intense that an average human can not adapt to.
As for the "hot oil smell," noted by another reviewer... yes, there is a "smell," that emits from the operating unit. How one describes that smell will vary. Each individual person's sensitivity to that smell will also vary. To me the "smell" was simply like sightly hot metal, as with any other heater, and faint enough that it did not bother me at all. However, should one be rather sensitive to the "smell" it may prove uncomfortable.
The battery operated fan that blows the heated air away from the unit is awesome. The fan does not blow the volume of air like a fan on your desk or counter top might. The fan is much smaller, yet it does greatly aid in the ciculation of the heat. Without the fan on, the heat is simply radiated out and the heat is not evenly distributed throughout the tent. One huge issue with the fan... it eats batteries like a child eats candy. Two "D" batteries will run the fan for one full night. That's it, no more. Recharable batteries are strongly recommended to keep the battery budget in check, because the fan really needs to be used.
Some advise... 1.) Light the heater OUTSIDE of your tent (remember there will be small fire ball emiting from the heater when it is lit). 2.) Start the unit and place in your tent at least one full hour before going to bed. That way your tent will be nice and warm when you go to bed. 3.) Keep a replacement propane cylinder close by for replacement in the early morning hours. Should you allow the tent to cool before replacing the propane cylinder and re-igniting the heater it will take a very, very long time to warm the tent up. Remeber... nights are coldest the hours just before dawn (usally) which is much colder than when you started to warm your tent up the previous evening. Also, the larger the tent (or area being heated) the longer it will take to bring up and maintain the temp. I am going to buy a second heater for my large three room tent. This way I can start one heater well before going to bed to heat the tent, and then 6 hours before I plan to wake up I can start the second heater. With two heaters operating at the same time in my large tent the heat will be easily maintained (hopfully even with winds) but also the first heater will will run out of fuel and shut off in the night and the second heater will continue heating maintaining the temp without me getting up to change out the propane cylinder. 4.) Place the heater in an area of your tent in which nothing will come in contact with it. The heater grid gets very hot and will burn you or any other item that contacts it.
All in all, this ProCat Catalytic Propane Heater is a great heater. It is larger than others on the market (the heating head is larger in diameter), including other Coleman brand heaters. It appears to be the only one with a fan to assist in heat distribution. It puts out a good amount of heart. The only serious failing on this ProCat heater is that the output can not be regulated. The heater is either on full blast or completly off.
Please note though, the more ventilated your tent the less effective any heater will be in heating such a tent, let alone this particular heater. Thus, should you have a "summer family camping tent" that is very well ventilated either consider purchasing two heaters to heat your tent, or in addition to this heater purchase a tent that is designed for cold weather (which is less vented than summer family tents).

Lp Regulator with 3 Ft. Hose Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a Weber Genesis e320. However, the squirrels apparently love chewing on the rubber hose connector that came with the grill. So, I needed a long replacement hose and found this one. (I could not find a Weber made hose replacement). This is one of the few long hoses with standard connections. Works well. Hopefully, the squirrels will not like it :)

Dimplex DFI2309 Electric Fireplace Insert Review

Average Reviews:

(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.
