When I flatten out the briquettes so I can put my grate on, not all the briquettes are burned uniformly so I wait another few minutes for the top large pieces to burn to gray, because I don't want cancer. New me: No lighter fluid."
"We were pleasantly surprised with this chimney starter not knowing what to expect when we used it the first time. It truly is a chimney as it superheats the charcoals and sends up smoke and intense flame."
"Not only is it fast, the coals heat evenly and we've saved so much money, no more buying lighter fluid- just a few sheets of newspaper."
"I was amazed at how fast the coals were ready."
"For anyone who loves grilling using charcoal, this is a MUST HAVE!!!"
"Another side effect of using this is that the smoke from the burning newspaper seems to keep the mosquitos away!"
"Hands-down, this charcoal chimney is absolutely the best accessory I've ever bought for my grill!"
"It makes food taste better, as so many have went to using the charcoal briquettes that have the lighter fluid in it already."

If I had to rate the effects of this stove from 1 to 10 (With 10 being a real fire), I'd have to give it a solid 8! With that said, don't look to use this heater as a main source of heat (Unless you live in a warm climate to begin with). 5,000 watts will not bring a house to a pleasant 74-degrees if the outside ambient temperature is like 30-degrees! Instead, look to use this heater as a supplement to your main heating system to keep your home (or medium room) a bit more comfortable."
"The remote will adjust levels of the fire but will only turn the heat on or off not adjust temperature, It can also set a timer. The light adjustments for the fire are cool too, allowing you to adjust different levels of flames."
"I've used Duraflame / Dimplex electric stove heaters for many years, and actually turned off my Natural Gas central furnace, and use my electric heaters full time during NY winters. I have a Dimplex CS33116A Compact Electric Stove Dimplex CS33116A Compact Electric Stove in each room in my home with a Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat plug-in thermostat to control each separate room as in zone heating. My electric bills are reasonable from using the electric heaters instead of the gas furnace, and the electric heaters are much quieter."

"For 40+ years I've made a little pile of charcoal and/or wood, soaked it with fluid, hit with a sparker and wham, big ball of flames! While visiting and watching me create the usual towering inferno, my friend Wayne suggested getting a chimney starter. There's no satisfying ball of flame, but wait 10-15 minutes and the coals are perfect; remove the chimney, flatten the pile of coals/wood, add some bigger pieces of wood if needed, and there you are."

"It kept us very warm at night even during the coldest of nights (lowest at night was 9 degrees F). I did run 4 space heaters (this one, a Lasko, and a radiator heater, plus one small 1500 watt utility heater) in 2 bedrooms, the living room & the washroom. We are still in some cold weather and I have learned to close off rooms that are not used, also put up curtains to close off rooms without a door (like the hallway that connects to the living room and the kitchen door that goes into the den) which helps to keep the warm air in that certain area without allowing in drafts. Closing off sections of the house we are not using in the cold days and nights has helped greatly to keep the rooms we are in warmer. it is one of the best heaters I have and would buy again from this brand. My reasons for picking this heater is because I wanted something that will stay cool to the touch and is hard to knock over because I have a 3-year-old and cats that are curious about anything in the house and I don't want any of them getting burned. I wanted a heater that would comfortably warm an ice cold room (old house, it gets very cold) both day and night and one that will last not only this winter but the next winter too."

It's also not hot to the touch, which I was worried about since we often have customers with children who may try to touch it!"
"Early last Fall (2015) we moved from NE Florida to N. Virginia and we were warned that the gas furnaces in this house would not be able to keep up with the cold during the Winter. I'm a career network engineer, so I'm a pretty techie kind of guy, I've had to arrange for power for large computer operation facilities,etc. So, I don't care whether it's quartz, infrared, how electricity it's using, or whether or not Dr. Heater is exaggerating the performance of their product, or whatever -- it heats, it works. It's not very heavy so I don't know why it has casters on it, but I guess they make it easier to move for changing direction of the air flow or whatever. And now I don't have to worry about anything to do with heaters and can move on to other more important things in my life (like some of the other reviewers here clearly need to do as well)."
"The last thing I tried before this was a radiator heater, which would've worked well had my AC not been leaking cold air all over the apartment. This heater heats up the entire apartment (not sure the exact size, but a small one bedroom one kitchen) perfectly. I've had it running since I got it yesterday, and unlike the radiator heater, its surface stays cool. Also, the problem with the heating mentioned in my second edit still stands: I was only able to bring the room up to 65 degrees with another heater I was running. On top of that, the customer service is completely unresponsive to my contact, so I can't even utilize the warranty to fix all my problems with the heater."

"A full container isn't that heavy, about 13.5 lbs, to carry with the single handle and to dump. I have a very large basement that had a high humidity of 60-70% or so it would fill the 13.1 container pints within the day, 12-24 hours. It works best in warmer weather (70's) which is when the humidity is high and mold can grow, warm and moist. I used the bucket for about 2 weeks to try it out and then I switched to the continuous drain tube which I connected a piece of clear vinyl tube (1 1/4 inch outer dia, 1 inch inner dia) from Home Depot which I connected to a "T" connector that I installed on my A/C condensation line that runs outside."
"I will never purchase another Fridgidaire product due to poor quality control and inept customer service, and the replacement dehumidifier that I purchase will always have the extended warranty through Amazon from here on out."
"The humidity sensor must be placed in the reservoir, because as soon as the fan clicks off, the humidity readout immediately starts climbing quickly. The poor sensor placement in the design makes the unit think it is 55% when it truly isn't. So it will click off at 45, then 10 min later it thinks its 55, the unit will click on, and immediately when the air flow is resumed, the sensor sees that its not as high as it thought, and you'll see the readout drop quickly back down. This unit could actually use a ton less energy if the sensor was placed in a location to get more accurate readings (maybe in a isolated chamber with vents directly outside of the unit, instead of INside the unit where all the water is collecting?)."

Find Best Price at Amazon"To the point that over the past month we have both been having major issues with the pollen and smog in the air, even with being home most of the time! With a true HEPA filter that you replace once a year (opposed to once a month) it would save money in the long run. Set up was easy straight out of the box, and I put it out of traffic areas in the house. In fact with it on high I noticed a tag on the other side of the room (directly across) was moving on one of the toys yesterday as I was cleaning. I am super excited at the thought of having better air quality in the house so we dont have as many issues, and I know it will take probably a good month for me to be able to judge that (and trust me I keep up with our flair ups b/c my son sees a specialist so I can tell you if it will make a difference or not). Sorry took me so long to come back and update =) Fortunately if you see below I did give a heads up three weeks in we still loved it. Within the first month I stopped waking up with a stuffy nose, and it was taking particles out of the air so I wasn't seeing as much dust. We have since moved to a larger place, that has more sq footage in the den, and also two open doorways leading to other rooms. I think a big contributor to not catching it is because we had this unit running on high with the uv light."
"The home filter cost me $20, and after cutting it up into 3 pieces each filter for the guardian really only cost me around $7."
"I took it to the garage where the odor was not present and sniffed around the vents, but I still wasn't sure if the GermGuardian was the source of the burning smell. The crazy part is the unit was still functioning - still blowing air and appeared to be working normally."
"I was told that the cable was not a replaceable part, that I needed to ship the entire unit back to them, and that I would have to pay for shipping. The exact wording in the email was, "Per the terms of the warranty as stated in the manual, the customer is responsible for the shipping costs..." The product manual doesn't state this. Guardian wants me to pay a third of my original purchase price in shipping charges in order to exercise the warranty on their faulty product."

Within 5 minutes of turning this thing on it was like an angel had come down from heaven and began to personally blow cool air on my face. If this thing only lasts a month it will have been worth the money."
"Oh man, this thing is awesome, I may never use the AC again."
"I was surprised at how tall it was, but anything smaller probably wouldn't be as effective in my kitchen/dining room/living room combined space."
"I will come back and update my review as time passes, but I wanted to get some info out there. Standing fans we have had in the past were easily tipped and the front metal plate or sometimes plastic was quick to pop off as it hit the floor blade still going strong. My experience so far: *auto shut off. The first day I was quite worried as the fan had tipped (my husband the larger child in the home was playing with it) and it would not turn back on. *packaging. I was very worried when it arrived as it was in the thin box the fan comes in rather than amazon packaging. Update: It has been about a month now and while my toddler has tackled this fan with his full body weight it is still fully functioning. Now that the weather is warmer it is still blowing cooler air than any other fan in our home. Update: It is now June 2014 and we own two of these fans and both are going strong despite a toddler and autistic 6 year old who can now reach the buttons. The air kind of gets lost, so what I do to help them better cool a room is put them on opposite corners and face them at each other."
"I purchased this Lasko 2551 Wind Curve Platinum Tower Fan With Remote Control and Fresh Air Ionizer because it really gets warm in our room during summer. First of all, I really liked the looks of this fan."
"Now I will not have a hot home come summer and that equals less anxiety since heat is a trigger for me!"
"In the meantime I bought another lasko fan with twin grills which I thought sucked because it was so weak. Whenever I had a guest come over they would comment and ask if I could put it on full blast since it felt so it weak."

"I purchased THREE ultrasonic cool must humidifiers last week (one for each bedroom in our house) and after using them for several nights, I absolutely LOVE them!! Update--I have now been using these humidifiers for almost one month, every night. My eyes are not dry when I run these every night, but when I travelled to D.C. recently and stayed in a hotel (and didn't have my humidifier) I got a nose bleed in the middle of the night and woke up with bone-dry mouth and eyes."
"I would have given it 5 starts if it weren't for having to fill it so often even on a low humidity setting."
"Maybe we received a defective unit but it worked for almost a month before we noticed that it was leaking. Running it on low seems to be fine but on high, ugh, water is everywhere the next morning if you don't realize it soon enough."
