My water heater starts having problem a little bit after one year. Even though it is still under warranty, the customer services are terribly bad. They keep on giving me a hard time and asked me to do different tasks like cleaning, testing, ... The "regular" maintenance is impossible to be done by a regular household without specific knowledge of water heater. It is a pain to due with those customer services. They're really well trained to giving customers a hard time to claim anything under warranty. I surrender! I'll not consider this brand again in my life.

Dimplex DFI2310 Electric Fireplace Deluxe 23-Inch Insert, Black Review

Dimplex DFI2310 Electric Fireplace Deluxe 23-Inch Insert, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It looks amazingly like a real wood fire in our fireplace. It's easy to install, as long as your fire box is big enough, and you have a nearby electrical outlet. This "deluxe" model DFI2310 differs from the standard model DFI2309 by having a larger, brighter, even more realistic flame, for a somewhat higher price. The heaters can be turned off completely, for when it's warm, but you want that cozy fireplace ambiance.
On the "needs improvement" end, the remote control only turns the insert on and off; it does not control the optional heating elements, which can only be turned on or off at the unit itself. Mine arrived with all switches "on" so I got heat as soon as it was plugged in. It would be better to ship with all switches set to "off."
Also, there's no crackle or pop sound, so if wood fire sounds are important to you, this is not the electrical insert for you. However, if crackles and pops aren't that important to you, and you're looking for a very realistic looking, reasonably-priced unit with heating options, this is one well worth considering.

Magnetic Water Softener - Water Treatment Conditioner Review

Magnetic Water Softener - Water Treatment Conditioner

I have to admit, I was a sceptic. But I am also cheap. My "salt-sucking" conditioner died, and I was forced to look for a replacement. I saw this ad and decided to try it. Much cheaper than $400 for a new softener. Our water wasn't extremely 'hard', but without the softener, our skin was itchy and scale was beginning to appear on glasses in the dishwasher. I have had the magnet on our water suppy for about 3 monthes. We also have a inline water filter, which would turn from white to dark brown in 1 month, and need to be changed. I waited 2 weeks, and changed that filter, and the filter is still white, after over 2 monthes!! We don't have the Scale build-up in the dishwasher, and the "itchies" are gone after a shower. With the old softener, we did have great suds, when taking a shower. There is less suds now, but better than with no softener at all. Over all we are pleased with the results.

Sylvania SA307 40 Amp 240-Volt Double-Pole Zip Set Industrial Timer Review

Sylvania SA307 40 Amp 240-Volt Double-Pole Zip Set Industrial Timer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this timer to control my water heater. The unit itself appears attractive & reasonably well-constructed. However, the instructions are quite confusing and not at all user-friendly. Neither do the timing functions make sense. For some unknown reason, using the Zip-Set feature requires setting the clock to U.S. Eastern Time rather than your local time. This makes setting all subsequent on-off times confusing. Far worse--each of the 4 programmable timers seems to allow only 1 on and 1 off setting, forcing you to choose between 7-day, weekday, or weekend mode for that timer, with only 1 on/off option for it. Worse still, only one timer can be active at any given time, so you have to manually switch from one timer to another to activate the one you want next. I spent a couple of hours with a voltmeter programming & experimenting, so I'm confident this is correct. If anyone can correct me, I'd be delighted to be wrong. In other words, to set up, say, a morning on/off plus an afternoon on/off, with different set times for weekday and weekend, would require using all 4 timers AND you'd have to manually switch timers twice a day. The only way to "set and forget" is to pick 1 timer, set it on 7-day mode, program in 1 on/off time, and then use manual override for any other times you might want to heat water. If that's good enough for you, then buy this unit. Otherwise, find another. Given the hours of frustration I experienced, plus the poor result, I would have never bought this unit if I had known how it operated.

This is a great product, the only real drawback is that with San Diego California's extremely hard water, it needs
cleaned and a new anode rod screwed in every six months - I am finally breaking down a buying a wet/vac to make the job much easier. That being said, it is perfect for my condo that has never had proper hot water to the kitchen (in 20 years time). As my condo hot water heater is common to the entire wing, I made sure when purchasing this 4 gallon water heater that I could plumb the "hot" water into the "cold" intake of the water heater, and thus boost my "hot" water coming into my kitchen to a proper temperature for my sink, dishwasher, and front-load washer. To me it is so very well worth cleaning and servicing the unit every six months to have the luxury or proper hot water in my kitchen, and to know that when the condo hot water is on the fritz, I have hot water for my sink and appliances anyway. Since this unit has a convenient on/off switch on the front, I simply turn the unit off when I leave for the day, and turn it on when I want.

I tested the unit and it seems to be quite sensitive to the presence of event small amounts of moisture. The sound level is more than adequate. Installation couldn't be simpler. Just insert a 9-volt alkaline battery and place the unit on the floor adjacent to the water heater. The four pins that extend from the bottom of the case are made of stainless steel.

Average Reviews:

I spent $275 for 13 of these rings. A total waste -- they do NOT raise the water temperature, in fact, it seems as if they keep it from getting warmer when they are on the pool on a sunny day. My pool has been UP to 80 degrees 2 days - all other days mid-seventies. I have not noticed any less evaporation of water or chemicals either. The rings also collect dirt and pool chemicals which must be cleaned off every few days. Then when you take the rings off the pool, you must store them flat, out of the sun, someplace where they won't be punctured. They are very flimsy -- like a cheap toy float material. Definitely not worth the price or the aggravation.

Lux Products ELV4 Programmable Line Voltage Thermostat Review

Lux Products ELV4 Programmable Line Voltage Thermostat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this thermostat (four of them actually) to replace four 28-year old analog thermostats controlling the baseboard heating in a condo I bought as a second home. These digital units immediately let me set temperatures without having to guess and constantly juggle to get a proper temperature as the old non-digital thermostats required. They hold temperatures within a nice narrow range (although they can be programmed via a dip switch to let temperatures fluctuate a bit more for possible energy savings) for each room. Installation was simple (note that you do want to cap off the second set of wires if you have a 120V system -- read the instructions and note how any existing thermostats are wired to make installation easy). The $2 faceplates which can be ordered separately seem to be necessary to get a finished look on the installation since the thermostats apparently do not mount flush to all boxes.
Each unit takes 2 batteries (AA) so get them before you install the unit. They recommend two major brands and no others -- probably a good idea to follow that suggestion. This is not a "rechargeable battery" setup.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had one of these for well over a year. Originally put it in my basement next to the water heater. We had had problems with water in the past (water softener issues, some rain seepage, etc) but we managed to repair those problems. Never heard anything from my little Leakfrog until a couple of nights ago.
In the middle of the night, I heard beeping coming from somewhere. It was enough to wake both me and my dog. Mind you, my bedroom is on the second floor, and the Leakfrog is in the basement. So it's plenty loud.
Finally figured out that it was the Leakfrog coming from the basement. The flexible water line going from the water supply to the water heater had started leaking. I doubt it had been leaking for more than an hour or so; there was only a small wet spot on the floor. So I shut off the valve to the heater and went back to bed. 10 hours and $10 in replacement parts later, it was fixed. Mind you, in those 10 hours, the water on the floor had completely dried, that's how little water it took to activate the alarm.
Had I not had the Leakfrog, it could have been weeks (and possibly causing substantial damage to the water heater or other items in the basement) before I would have noticed the leak. I highly recommend this for anyone that has a potential for leakage that could possibly go unnoticed.

My biggest issue is that the hose is too short. It should be long enough to travel from the floor (where the pump is mounted) to the top of a gallon antifreeze jug and then back down to the bottom of the jug. I couldn't get the antifreeze jug any closer than about a foot away due to the pump's location, so I had to tilt the jug and still could only use about three quarts of the gallon.
I'm planning to extend the hose, but another 12" of hose would have been welcome.

Easy Heat Roof Snow De-Icing Kit Review

Easy Heat Roof Snow De-Icing Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had one of these de-icing cables on the front of my house for a few years and it worked great so I decided to add a few more around the house. I have never had a problem with ice dams but this seems like a pretty cheap precaution especially up here in NH.
They provide you with plenty of clips to attached to the shingles and the process is very easy and is a DIY project if you don't mind being on a ladder. It only took me about 30 min. to install the cable.

Just make sure you buy the correct length cable, the way to figure that is through some pre-planning. Take a look at the area you are planning to install the cable and take some measurements. You should have approx 2 foot loops about 16" apart, so if you have a 30 length of roof you want to cover your already at 60 ft., you also need to figure in extra cable for a double run in the gutter (if you have one) so if you add the 30 ft. gutter x 2 that's another 60 ft.
Then add the downspout, let's just say that another 15 ft. x 2 (need a double run for best results) that's another 30ft. So in total you would need a 150 ft. cable for a 30ft. length of roof with a gutter and a downspout.

1. There's a 3 second delay, causing a huge cold water sandwich, i.e., if you shut it off, or adjust it and it drops below the minimum flow, you'll get a huge wave of cold water for about six seconds, 3 for the delay, 3 more to warm up.
2. No more warm water trickle. In order to get half warm, half cold, you need to adjust the flow to 1.4 gallons/minute, hardly a small flow. The heater will not turn on unless 0.7 gpm flows in the hot water side.
3. Adjustment of temperature is a major job -- you need to shut off the dedicated breaker, remove the plate, and guess at where you want the setting, put the cover back on, restore the breaker. Then repeat the process until the temperature is correct.
4. It requires a dedicated 220 V 40 amp (for my model) line, an expensive item to install. And flourescent lights will flicker just a bit when the heater is on.
We like to wash small cups, silver, or a single dish or two by turning on a small warm or hot flow and rinsing, soaping, and rinsing in one stage, using a small amount of water. Then if we find another dish, it's nice to find the water is still warm. We can turn off and not waste the water between small washings. We've developed this habit due to the occasional water rationing we get here in CA.
Not so with the Eemax... Once you shut it off, you won't see hot water again for about 6 seconds. That's a lot of water down the drain. In general, this system is a huge water waster.
We find ourselves either scalding our hands, or washing in cold water. We paid for a new dedicated 220v line and breaker, and installation, which took a couple of days and cost a couple of grand. It was a collosal waste to buy this for a kitchen. I wouldn't want it in my bathroom either, no more running trickles of water for shaving, and either scalded hands or cold water washes.
The only good thing it does is provide the dish washer with very hot water. It works fine there, and I suppose I'll leave it there. But I'll have to add a small tank now for the hot water tap.
I suppose if you like to fill a sink with hot water for the wash, and again for the rinse, it might work for you. If that's always the way you work.
Save your money. Use a small tank for kitchen or bathroom, use the 110 volt existing line, and forget Eemax and equivalents!

Eemax EX95TS "Thermostatic" Electric Tankless Water Heater Review

If you use a tankless water heater eventually you'll learn that they are cheap, unpredictable and will go out at a moments notice. A back up is
a necessity, I chose this one for my back up and as expected it was needed
to replace the Titan that lasted 6 months. This Eemas ex95ts worked great
for 3 weeks, and then the circuit board sparked, poofed smoke and set off
the smoke alarm. No response from their customer service. This thing didn't even last long enough to get a back up for it. Hopefully someone will make one of these that will last awhile but so far I have not found one and the Eemax certainly has been the worst I have tried so far.
