Mr. Heater portable heater MH9B

Tue, 12 Jul 2005 09:42:14 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tom317 - Can't stress enough-this heater will not work at higher altitudes. Even though the company literature states that it will not work above 6500 ft.-we have found that at 6000 ft altitudes-in an RV with some windows open so that we get some air...

Nice Heater, Nicer Price

Mon, 27 Jun 2005 16:36:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jblumb1 - Bought this heater for use in my bathroom in my old apartment. Now, I realize this is not really the proper use of a fan forced heater, but with tile floors and walls in a 60 year old building, you have to take the edge off. I would turn the unit off...

Small but mighty and safer than most.

Thu, 19 May 2005 23:24:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author craftswoman - The Holmes is a great little heater. I have previously had a Presto Quartz Oscillating heater and that lasted about 8 years. They discontinued making them. It was much taller than this particular Holmes heater and it oscillated. (Turned left to...

Holmes 1500 Watt Ceramic Heater HCH4920: a bit pricier then the little electric heater, but worth it.

Tue, 10 May 2005 14:54:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - I reviewed two heaters here – the Holmes 1500 Watt Ceramic Heater and the Holmes Portable Electric Heater. The portable electric heater is much cheaper then the ceramic heater. The main difference is that this ceramic heater is slightly programmable...

Cheap and a little flimsy

Tue, 10 May 2005 14:48:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - I live in Florida, and you’d expect us not to need these small heaters. Actually I expect that they are more necessary in Florida then elsewhere, because it can get chilly at night, but not so chilly that you want to turn a big house heater. I own two...

Made my friends jealous

Wed, 4 May 2005 14:53:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kozlee - I've had one of these for a couple of years and finally got the chance to use it in my tent last weekend. The temp was in the 40's and windy, but I kept warm with my heater. I didn't have batteries for the fan, but can imagine it would have worked even...

Great Heater

Sat, 9 Apr 2005 12:01:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author redflaming - I love this heater. I bought it around 1998, 7 years later the On/Off dial broke and I'm searching to either replace the dial or buy another - same exact kind. I see some people said it didn't last, so I needed to write my experience... it has lasted...

Good space heater, bad "quick heat"

Tue, 5 Apr 2005 15:44:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author truesolace - Bought one of these after our furnace died. I thought it was a little pricey ($69 cdn) but heated our 13 x 13 bedroom very efficiently (on low setting) and cut the cold in our large living room ok. Two weeks later bought another at Target for $10 US...

5 out of 6 Of these heaters died within 1 year!

Sat, 2 Apr 2005 16:47:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author trustmeiknow - Once in a while a product comes along that is so obviously flawed that I feel obligated to warn others. I originally only purchased one of these and the features - timer, thermostat, and backlight (on some models – though the model # didn’t...

Works Great

Mon, 14 Mar 2005 16:19:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author csustudent - I bought this Space heater over two years ago and it works great. I love that it has a fan that blows out the air through out the entire room instead of some other heaters where its only warm next to the appliance. I live near the beach and the weather...

Kero-World 23,000 BTU Convection Kerosene Heater KW-24C: good heater, no problems 3 solid months of use

Mon, 7 Mar 2005 21:34:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author harfnschnarf - Purchased @ home depot for 99 bucks last year. Needed it and a torpedo for home renovations. Have used almost 4-5 times a week since i got it, for several hours at a time. Works flawlessly, i have the Dura Heat version, electronic ignition,...

Corona Indoor Kerosene Radiant Heater SX: My Corona SX-2E Not Corona Beach

Wed, 2 Mar 2005 19:06:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author oldzip - I had a Corona SX-2E for many years, maybe 6, 7 8 years. I'm not too sure. I never replaced the wick in all that time. I only used it. What wick cleaning it got was in the normal course of events. I sometimes inadvertently let the tank run empty, which...

Warm up with the Lakewood C32/A Ceramic Heater

Thu, 24 Feb 2005 17:44:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gaelkm - Since it is still so cold in much of this country, I thought I'd better hurry up and get this review out. I'd recently written a review about a terrific fan, but it probably would have been better submitted during the hot summer months. See my review of...

It almost burned my house down!

Tue, 22 Feb 2005 09:54:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author pszm - This is the second winter I have used it and it was fine the first winter. Halfway through the second one, every time I turned it on, the fan went on also no matter which setting I used (it has two settings, one for just heat and a quick heat setting...

Switches burned out

Sun, 20 Feb 2005 20:55:54 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author cabanalady - Mine was purchased around 4 or 5 years ago. It worked great! (I usually leave the heater on constantly unless I am going away out of town, in that case I switch it off). BUT in the Fall of 2004 one of the switches shattered and fell apart on the floor...

Nice Little Heater

Thu, 17 Feb 2005 12:49:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kate786 - I really like this heater because it is silent and it does put out quite a bit of heat. I also really like the remote control and think it is a nice extra touch. I did find the box to be a bit misleading in that you cannot set a temp on the remote. Also...

Broke after a few months of use

Mon, 14 Feb 2005 18:13:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - Lousy unit. Typically crappy Black & Decker product. First the handle snapped off. We could live without the handle, though it did vibrate and make even more noise afterward, which was a drag in the bedroom. Then the unit completely stopped...

Small Space Heating for Small Rooms

Tue, 8 Feb 2005 12:28:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BlackBear - A couple years ago, I bought a Honeywell Radiator style heater for my room during the winter. As it happened, neither I nor the friend of mine who referred this heater to me knew of a design flaw that eventually lead to the failure of the device. The...

Lakewood Quartz Heater - This One is a Keeper!

Mon, 7 Feb 2005 05:49:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mountainhigh - Last month, I wrote about a H
oneywell
Surround Heater which I returned upon total dislike and came home with a Lakewood Quartz Heater QTV-22 that I had not seen before. As I have written in previous reviews,...

this heater is the worst ever (and dangerous)!

Thu, 3 Feb 2005 14:50:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author waturbaybee - I had it for a few years (bought for me at Sam's wholesale) and it only keeps the chill off a room. That is it. I know the warranty is one year limited but it did something catastrophic yesterday. It cracked and sprayed my bedroom with the oil. It...

Holmes Ceramic Heater HCH4062

Wed, 2 Feb 2005 00:05:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author some_guy5 - The Holmes Ceramic Heater HCH4062 is the little engine that could. I own an older home and keeping it warm is a problem. Now that heating oil prices are spiking an electric alternative is a welcome relief. Our method in the past was too keep the home...

Maxi-Heat Ceramic Heater 681-852: Maxi-Heat CH115B

Wed, 26 Jan 2005 23:57:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author freeflyfreak - Bought for my RV. It heats well. Its noisy. It has 2 shut off switches one for tip over, the other for over heat. Both work well. Collects dust in side and requires disassembly for cleaning on a regular basis, or it will shut down due to over...

Honeywell Surround Portable Heater - Did It Pass My Tests?

Wed, 19 Jan 2005 07:09:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mountainhigh - This past week the temps dipped below to minus 20 degrees, it snowed heavily, and we lost power. We have our home set up quite well when we lose power since we have a generator that is directly wired into the home and we have a wood furnace for the heat...

Very glad I found it

Mon, 10 Jan 2005 11:04:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beauanderson80 - One night while driving around aimlessly and fighting with my wife we spotted a large 'garbage' pile that someone had made after cleaning out their garage. This happened to be in a semi-upper-middle-class neighborhood on Eastern Long Island by someone...

Great space heater, but needs one simple improvement

Mon, 10 Jan 2005 01:47:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author darmstro - The Honeywell HZ-519 is very similar (and may have replaced the HZ-514). Recently purchased the HZ-519 for about $45. This is a radiant heater, so there is no fan; so it's ideally-suited for a space where noise is a concern. Bought this heater...
