Find Best Price at Amazon"I began to purchase LED light bulbs as a start, new energy efficient appliances, and then September 2015 the Nest 3rd Generation was released which caught my attention. I asked my father in-law who had the Nest 2nd Generation for information and he had nothing negative to say about it so I was sold. Test your wires one more time prior to uninstalling to make sure no power is running (avoid being shocked or damaging anything). If you have children you can lock it so that a child touching it can not change or disrupt your temperature or any of your settings. Nest will remind you when you should change your air filters on your furnace because it can base it upon how many times it turns on and off. Significant drop in energy consumption can be seen on my gas bill after month 1."
"The nest was not calling for heat and temperature was dropping fast. I called the nest techs which were polite and helpful. They said my nest was wired for a heat pump which I do not have. The nest was properly wired, but when wiring was check via the wi if it said it was erroneously wired for a heat pump."
"** EDIT: I am happy to report that the Nest Thermostat now has a number of options for the Farsight feature, including to display the current room temperature, which I wanted, and to display the weather outside (downloaded from the internet), which is very cool indeed! To charge its batteries, the Nest needs a C (common) wire hooked up; otherwise it tries to charge itself whenever the heating or cooling system is running -- the only time current is passing through it. If I turn the heating system on and set the thermostat to something low, like 60 degrees, so the heat won't ever turn on, the Nest displays "60" rather than the actual temperature in the room. Why should I have to wall-mount a thermometer next to the Nest to replicate its thermometer, just because the Nest programmers won't offer the option to show the current temperature?"

Find Best Price at Amazon"We've tried a few different compact room heaters, but they were too small to heat the area and also way too noisy. We have tried many heaters in our RV and house over the years and they tend to be so noisy. The model we tried before purchasing the Lasko was so noisy we had to crank the tv volume up to hear over it. This sounds like a silly feature to list, but it makes a big difference in heating up a room. Therefore, the area directly in front of the heater was warmed, but the rest of the room was not. The oscillation really helps get the heat moved around the room so that you are not creating hot and cold spots. There are a couple of negatives about this heater: - To me, it is annoying that it beeps for every setting you change. :) I assume Lasko designed the beep so that you would know you changed something while clicking the remote control. Since you have the big unit sitting there in your room, it would be nice if it could be used to circulate air during the day when it's warmer, and then heat at night once the temps have dropped. (PS - we bought it at a local store, not via Amazon, so I can't comment on shipping). One thing I've noticed is that it will build up lint (Ummm... ok, cat & dog fur...)."
"It lacks temperature control on the low heat setting and it has only one fan speed, neither of which is critical except that it is also quite noisy, as are most heaters in this range."
"The maximum safe total load on one 15 amp circuit is 1440 watts even though a 15 amp circuit is rated at 1800 watts. If it is set low 860-900 watts no more than 500 watts of additional load can be added to a single 15 amp circuit and there will be no thermostat."
"I purchased this for my daughter and the cord got really hot and melted after only being on for 30 minutes."
"I used this where my BABY sleeps and it's not eligible for returns so I can't contact Amazon about a return, since it didn't start a fire within 30 days of purchasing it. Cannot contact seller, or Amazon, and manufacturer requires ME to pay to SHIP it to them BEFORE honoring a warranty."
"If she had not started screaming, I can only assume the temperature in the room would have continue to climb and my little girl would have suffered a heat stroke and may have died. This photo was taken after turning the heater off, grabbing my daughter and pulling off her sweat drenched clothes and taking care of her."

Designed to work with the wires you already have, Sensi thermostat does not require a common wire (c-wire) in many cases, so it is compatible with most heating and cooling systems* (U.S. and Canada only). Set your Sensi thermostat to automatically adjust your homes temperature for location-based temperature control with geofencing, or quickly create a 7-day schedule to reduce wasteful heating and cooling when no one is home. Integrates with Amazon Alexa for voice control and Wink smart home platforms, and works with Google Assistant and Google Home using the no cost Wink app.

Find Best Price at Amazon"In my research I learned that my primary complaint the Nest - that the temperature swing was too wide - was addressed by Sensi's "cycle rate" setting. Nest's no-button design is cool, but using a thermostat is not a lecture in UX minimalism, and black-and-chrome doesn't really disappear into the background of my home (white trim and all). Granted, we didn't also install a second Nest to have more temperature sensors, and we didn't buy their $200 talking smoke detectors which also report environmental statistics back to the thermostat. Most people won't care about this but being a network security engineer, I'm impressed that the thermostat has exactly 0 open TCP ports, outbound communication is with one IP, and total traffic is very modest."
"--. I had been wanting to get a WiFi Thermostat for a long time now, but I held off because I was worried that I would buy one that wouldn't be compatible with my home or that I wouldn't be able to figure out how to install it. You select the wires that your current thermostat has, and then the app tells you what to label them and where they will go in the new thermostat. I had never replaced a thermostat before, and it took me under 30 minutes (which includes unboxing, looking for screwdriver, looking for AC unit shut off switch, watching how-to videos included with the app, etc). The app is handy because it also tells you your local Hi and Low temps from the forecast as well as the humidity in your home, upcoming schedule, set temp, actual temp, and the background is either blue, red, or grey depending on if your system is on Cool, Heat, or off at the moment. The only thing this is missing is a few more advanced options for the app, such as specific alerts (like if the temperature is changed manually, I would like to be able to get an instant alert on my phone) and an air filter change reminder that can be set for a certain amount of time (like 1, 2, or 3 months)."

"The clear plastic pieces are adjustable and placement is super simple."
"I bought some steel mending plates at Home Depot for about $2 and mounted them to the ceiling with the vent cover. I can't speak on the deflectors melting since I live in a relatively warm climate location (Houston, TX) and have never set my heater higher than 72F."
"I'm using this on a ceiling vent to divert heat away from the cabinets and into the kitchen."
"They do the job but aren't very durable."
"This changed the whole dynamic of our AC, because if you have a vent right by the thermostat, your whole setup is a mess - not to mention efficiency concerns. As for the device itself, we've kicked it and partially stepped on it a few times and it's not broken yet, it claims to be indestructible, and so far that is true."
"I haven’t had them long enough to know if there really unbreakable I hope so, they are clear appear strong and with strong magnets , they stay in place.."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The actual rotating part of this fan is held into the frame with 3 screws which I removed to make it as light as possible while I was doing the installation. The most ingenious part of this fan is that there is a panel on the frame that has the connection for the flexible duct and the wiring - this panel lifts off after removing the screw that says something like "keep this screw in for grounding purposes." After I connected the wiring and duct, (here comes the tricky part) I was able to hold that panel in place in the hole with one hand and then take the frame for the fan in the other hand and push it straight up into the hole."
"If you want the timer to match the most popular color of light switches and frames available (almond), choose the "light almond" color for the timer."
"I actually wish I bought the lower CFM version as it gets very cold after shutting off water when finished showering. This fan is so strong you can feel a current of air coming from under door when door is closed."
"I bought this fan for a basement bath remodel after reading other favorable reviews. The volume of exhausted air was indeed impressive, and I began to worry about all the heat I was going to lose this winter when my son re-occupies his bath!"

"For those of you who are in doubt of their own capacity and ability to properly install this like I was, DO NOT FEAR. Blow Drying Tip: when blowdrying, rather than blowing at the wrinkled area directly, sway the blow dryer gently around the wrinkle itself and the wrinkle will come out much faster. Feel free to read the rest of my reviews on Amazon: I rarely write reviews here, but when I do, it's because I had a bit of doubt myself when purchasing it, but turned out to exceed my wildest imaginations."
"Have ten windows in the home, so got two Duck 1299529 window shrink film kits, and a low cost Jerdon 1600 watt blow drier. Wiped the dust off the trim with a damp paper towel per window, dried, then used one of the four faces on each alcohol wipe for each side of the window trim. Lift an inch or so of the tape off the roll, grab one end, and pull on one side until you hear/feel a soft pop, then the other side the same way. Peel back the protective cover an inch or two, cut the half inch off of the messed up tape with your scissors, and and fold the cover crease) to one side ninety degrees. Leave at least two or three inches of extra film on each side. I did the top first, then a side, then the other side, then the bottom."
