NewAir AH-410 700 Watt Oil Filled Radiator Heater - Low Watt Comfort



Great little Space Heater
This little heater works quite well. The snap on feet made it very easy to install no tools required. The adjustable thermostatic also works well (unlike some others I have tried). It is a simple dial control which made it perfect for my older people. I haven't yet fully tested the high heat setting, but on the low setting, it kept my 10 x 14 foot room quite comfortable. Best part of the heater is that It makes no noise that I have been able to tell, except a very slight click when the heater turns on at the thermostat setting.

broke after two months
I had previously given this heater a great review. however, it worked great for two months, then the on/off switch broke. woke up in the middle of the night, freezing. even when I managed to turn it on, it would switch off.

I had bought the heater directly from the company website. the company refused to pay for shipping me a replacement. then they wanted me to pay the shipping back to them if they gave me a refund. after a few phone calls and the supervisor not bothering to give me a requested call back, I got them to send me a label for sending the unit back. and they gave me a refund.

so, the heater gets one star and the company gets one star. its unfortunate, but, they didn't care that the unit broke after only two months. so, will never use the company again.

Returned it...
The heater is simple and easy to use. But I had to return it because of the smell it makes in just about 5 minutes of turning it on. I had it running for about an hour and the smell gets worse. So I've decided to quickly pack it up again and return.

AirVac Deluxe Garage/Car Tool Kit LNVMGAR



Great quality product
This garage vacuum kit works wonerfully. The hose is much better than I thought it would be and doesn't kink. The telescoping wand is very handy for either high places or close up places. It has all the attachments that you need to do any task in the basement or the garage. I am very happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone.

Great addiction to my whole house vacuum
Our whole house vac is located in the garage. I am able to use the unit for my car and decided instead of taking my house attachments outside for the car, I would get an extra set. These attachments work well and the multiple tools are great for various needs. I particularly like the brush tool for the vents in the car. The only tool that was so-so was the skinny one to go in the crevices - it has wholes in the side and I feel that creates less suction and I can't get up little things that I thought would pop right into the hose. Other than that, this is a very good product

Cost effective!
While this says it's for the garage/car, it's quality for the home, too. Tough hose, and attachments work great on my tile floor. Hose works with my beater brush head, too. Came quickly and no issues. Fits my outlets perfectly. Love the telescoping wand, too. So happy!

KitchenAid 10-Cup Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker



Fails to meet KitchenAid or my expectations
I originally ordered this coffee maker from another retailer in August. Waited and waited. Finally cancelled when Amazon had it available. First pot of coffee was made without pressing bold button. Coffee was weak and temperature was cooler than I expected. By second cup, I would describe the temperature as warm but certainly not hot. Also, I typically make 4 cups of coffee for myself. This coffee maker has a button labeled 1-4 cups which you are supposed to press to make less than 4 cups. I thought perhaps it would raise the water temperature for smaller quantities. It doesn't appear to do anything. I contacted KitchenAid who stated that the brew water temperature should be 200 degrees and that the bold button only changes the way hot water is delivered (small spurts, longer wait time). They also stated that the 1-4 cup button would allow you to make a maximum of 4 cups of coffee even if the reservoir is full. I used a very accurate electronic thermometer to measure the...

Is this why they call it DRIP coffee?
My husband bought this coffee maker because it was KitchenAid. If KitchenAid wants to keep their good name they need to take this machine off the market. The coffee that actually makes it INTO your cup and not dripped all over the counter is not even hot. We have to put our JUST BREWED cup of coffee directly from the drippy carafe into the microwave to get it hot! And like others have said you have to turn the carafe practically upside down to get the last half of the pot of coffee out. And we're not sure what they are calling a "cup." We don't seem to get as many "cups of coffee" as it says it's making. Truly disappointing product for the high price.

The Greeks did it better
I had a beloved 12 year-old thermal carafe coffee maker which broke, and I couldn't wait to try out the new models, which might make better tasting coffee. KitchenAid has such an excellent reputation that this item seemed to be perfect. Unfortunately, newer does not mean better. While the machine makes reasonably tasty coffee,the spout on the carafe causes about one fifth of the coffee to spill all over the counter. I have tried pouring at every speed and angle, and it still makes a mess. The spout is squarish and flat, requiring an extremely slow pour, while the lid above the spout interferes with the pour. Additionally, the shape of the inner carafe makes it necessary to hold the pot at greater than 90 degrees in order to get the last cup of liquid out. Bottom line is that the "ten cup" pot ends up serving less than eight. Those eight aren't even very hot. This has a metal carafe which is not as heat retaining as the old glass types. All of this is puzzling to me, as...

Whirlpool Part Number W10450187: GRILL-VENT



Excellent Product
Great product for the price! I was skeptical before I received the product, but I was surprised when I received it. The grill was as described by the seller, brand new and the instructions sheet is easy to read and understand.

Defective Item, they will not refund...
I bought an item(vent grill) for my Whirlpool Microwave, used for about 3 months & the bracket has broken off..I contacted the company...Because it was over the 30day period(thought a brand new item should last longer), they will not refund the item I had purchased..I would not recommend buying from seller..

Savoy House 52-ECM-5RV-SN 52-Inch First Value Ceiling Fan, Satin Nickel Finish with Reversible Rosewood/Maple Blades and White Marble Bowl Light Kit



Great product.
I knew what I was looking for but I didn't want to pay over 200 bucks for a basic fan. I wanted something clean, modern and inexpensive. It looks just like the picture. It is a great quality product for a reasonable price. Note: The blades for the fan had one white side and one "weathered side." The white side is great. The "weathered" side looks like watered down paint - it's not a great "weathered" look if that's what you are looking for. I wasn't really concerned because I am using the white side - but I just thought I'd note it for others.

Its Beautiful adds class and charm
It's a beautiful fan and light it was a bit heavier than I expected but was still a room charmer and added class to my bedroom. Absolutely love it keeps the air circulated and helps even out the room temperature, saving on the gas bill and electric bill got to love that.But it does have to be put on a electrical box from the ceiling that can support 50lbs.so something to thank about if you live in a house like mine that was built cheap LOL but no problem putting in a box that could support the weight. Well worth it!!

GE Stove Burner Surface Element WB30X348



as advertised
Product shipped and received on time. Packaged very good. All parts, including screws,insulators, and connectors were included. Burners fit as advertised. This was a great way to get the right parts for my stove.

GE Stove Burner Surface Element WB30X348
Made in China but it does the job. When you install it, lift the hook all the way up otherwise it will not sit properly. Use one hand to push it up, while the other hand screw it in. It's a little inconvenience, but you can do it. So far, it is working really well for me. This ones cost $20 compare to the GE cost $70. It's worth it. Definitely would recommend it.

A perfect replacement
This element was a perfect it for my electric stovetop. They are priced 75% less than the GE site was selling them for.

GE WE16M15 Blower Wheel for Dryer



It's a replacement fan alright.
I replaced the fan but what? the fan slides ever so slightly off the end of the shaft? You really need to crank the screw down tightly without breaking the plastic to secure it to the dryer motor. That's a really cheap, not great method to attach a fan I have to say. After hearing the rubbing going on I discovered the fan had slid to the end of the shaft and was eating the teeth away on the sheet metal. Nice. After putting it back on, the fan and motor are purring quieter than ever.

By the way, the original fan had warped beyond reasonable planarity which is why I replaced it. The only reason I can think this might happen would be due to excessive heat on the fan. Terrible design really.

make sure you need this product before ordering
Hi
After watching the Blower Wheel replacement video (part#WE16M17) from repairclinic dot com on youtube, went ahead and check my product on GE dot com for the correct replacement piece, then ordered WE16M15. There is tension clip that needs to be adjusted to fasten the wheel to the motor shaft. This task can be accomplished without removing the motor. You may not need to replace the blower wheel you have, rather tighten the tension to secure the wheel. If you do not clean the lint from this wheel every 5 to 10 years depending on use, the lint will jam the wheel and cause the devise to loosen from the motor shaft. Regretfully I order the part before disassembling the motor from the base. ( I am not the first to order this wheel from Amazon when they did not need it, since the product arrived in an open box). Wanted to post this review to prevent Amazon customers from ordering this product when they don't need it. Hope this is helpful!
Thanks
