Heaters Reviews

Amazon states that this unit comes with "on board tools" but in truth it doesn't come with anything other than a 4 inch upholstery tool. And that one was missing from mine. I expected that there would be more than one(note the plural part of tools) but I guess that on Amazon tools doesn't mean the same thing.

This remanufactured item was also shipped with all the parts just thrown into the box-it was not "packed" the way equipment should be.

Most of my disappointment with this item comes from Amazon and their misleading ad.

This product doesn't deserve the star. Amazon required that I at least give it one, but I cannot do so . . . Bought one of these about three years ago. The roller worked, sometimes, and then the housing on the motor cracked. Too costly to repair, so I gave Bissell one more chance. Never again. I emphatically agree with the other reviewer - CHEAP! The wothless plastic mount for the roller brush - a key feature in a steam cleaner Bissell! - broke 6 months after it was put into use. The steam "cleaner" only leaves 1" wide streaks of clean carpet where the soap falls onto the carpet. Tough traffic areas? Hmmm, that's the purpose of these machines right? Sorry, won't do it. Don't waste your money.

This was the second portable air conditioner that I ordered from Amazon. The first one, from an independent dealer, never arrived even after a whole month of waiting -- and I was very annoyed since I spent half the summer waiting for my product. This product, did also take a very long time to arrive, and it arrived four days after the maximum promised time. However, it was well worth it. My house has very high ceilings, and two bedrooms upstairs that get about 10-12 degrees hotter than downstairs. When the central air is on, downstairs would have to be freezing before upstairs feels livable (the architectural design was badly thought out). So I got this for the two bedrooms upstairs, one bathroom (that has no window and the steam from the shower remains indoors unless fanned), and a small hallway. The air conditioner cools the entire upstairs section of the house without any effort. As the previous reviewers say, it makes it chilly in almost no time, and the best part is that I can use it without any water -- cooling off about 5-10 degrees, easily. It's a little larger than I had expected and it's quite heavy as well. It was a little beat up when I received it, and it took two people to carry it up the stairs. The manual is not very detailed and the instructions are not very good, but this isn't something that takes a brain surgeon to figure out. It's pretty much assembled, and it's quick and easy to set up even without a manual. As far as performance, there's no dripping water, and it performs as well as my central air. Definitely worth the buck, and I'm hoping to keep it for a very long long time.

We have an attic room in our house that we always avoided in the summertime because it has always felt like an oven, even though there is central air in the house. The room is approximately 175 square feet. I despise window air conditioners
mainly because of the installation, and also because they have to be removed at the end of the summer. I ordered this with the hopes that this would solve the problem. All I can say is, this thing is incredible!! It was over 90 degrees here last night, and normally that would make that room feel like over 100. This little unit made the room so cold, we had to shut it down early this morning. It was almost frosty....The air conditoner arrived with everything I needed to start, and it took me a total of 20 minutes to set it up and read the instruction manual. It could be set up so it can be moved, or permanent. I set it up so I can move it to other areas of the house in case I want to shut down the central air, or if I just want to cool one room in the house. It is an attractive unit, and fairly short. Since we just put in new carpeting, I had a friend of mine make me a metal pan to place under the unit, just in case of water leakage. I doubt it will be a problem, but I figured better safe then sorry. The pan also allows the unit to be level at all times, as according to the directions, the air conditioner should be perfectly level. It is fairly quiet, not much louder then a window unit.

Edited to add: You can use the air conditioner 2 ways-if you add water to the container in the unit, it makes the air frosty cold. However, the water does have to be replenished every 8 hours or so. You can also use the unit dry, and it will still make the room cool. You don't have to worry about ruining the unit when the water runs out because it is acceptable to use the air conditioner without it. I have found that on the really hot, stuffy nights here in NJ (especially when the sun has been baking on the ceiling all day), that it is nice to add the water and have it really cold. You do have to use a bottle of descaling liquid (to clean out the unit) every few weeks or so 1 of which they included with the unit. Bottom lline is there is some upkeep, but imho, it is very much worth it when you consider how well it works.

I generally shy away from reconditioned products however this deal seemed too good to pass up. I have this portable in my house and it is like an arctic freezer now. I love it.

This thing really works. I have a lot of computer equipment in my room, which needs to stay cool at all times. I have never had one problem since I installed this portable AC. Not to mention I can transfer units between rooms, because it is portable. I reccomend a portable air conditioner to anyone looking to stay cool.

These items are shipped in only the original box thus unable to protect the heater during shipment. All 3 items were delivered damaged.

Bought this last winter and used in my bedroom, works great, would recommend this to anyone.

I just got tired of paying the high price of heating my home with gas. Now, after the hurricanes the price for heat is ridiculous. There's another better, cheaper way.

These heaters are a good place to start. My heating bills are half what my neighbors pay. I own two of these heaters and just bought 2 more for my daughter's apartment. They arrived quickly and in perfect condition. She loves them as much as I do.

I bought mine from Amazon.com a couple years back and have been really impressed with their performance. I have one in the front room and one in the back between the bedrooms. It's quite a large area for just the two heaters but they do a very good job of keeping things toasty. Last week the morning temperature was down in the 30s for several days but my home was nice and warm. And I didn't need to turn on the gas heater once.

The only thing I don't like is that the thermostat is just a dial which you adjust once the room reaches the temperature you like. There aren't any markings on the dial to suggest what temperature you're trying for. But, I don't have any complaints really. It's easy to figure out and use.

I used to have the original Bissell Littel Green model for some time until it started to leak on me. Worked for about ~6months until I got fed up with it. It was really handy and worked real good at cleaning pet mess-ups. After it started to leak I purchased this one for ~$32.00. Worked great the first time, left it on the kitchen floor...saw a small water stain on the floor. Used it one more time, the next day...then it turned into a friggin water sprinkler and spilled everything it had on the floor slowly. I read the reviews before I bought it, thinking it were flukes...but this is why they sell so cheap. But hey, it has a 90-day warranty. That just means I'll get another leaky vacuum.

So I'm better off swapping it for a new one at Wally World. :) They should either discontinue making this POS, recall, or give customers their money back, what a waste!

50 bucks is alot of money to pay for a companies garbage. Then to have to pay my own garbage company to take it away. What a rip off. The first time I used the machine the power brush didn't work so I used the regular brush. It leaked and didn't have much suction and left the carpet really damp. The second time I tried to use it the sprayer won't spray the carpet solution and the heater wouldn't come on. So its garbage because its out of the 90 warranty. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. If I was the company I would be embarrassed to even offer a product like this.

Upon receiving, I went to town cleaning my sofa -- which has seen the filth of 4 children -- and couldn't be happier with the result. Downsides -- using it's own formula of cleaning solution, leaving the sofa a bit more wet than I'd expected, cleaning a bit more difficult on rounded sections. But, it's a lot less expensive than having the sofa professionally cleaned once!
