I must say I have been pleased with the overall performance of this product. I had contemplated getting this about a year ago after seeing mention of it in an old issue of the Lawrence Berkely National Labratory newsletter "Currents". The administration had suggested it as a energy efficient solution to many of its staff who found the cooler 68 degree settings at the lab to leave their feet cold. Previous to that individual staff members were bringing in their own 1500 watt space heaters and really driving up the electricity bills.Anyway, I was finding that even if I had the temperature in my house up to 68-70 degrees that my feet would still get cold, especially at the computer desk. Seemed silly and very expensive to crank up the furnace even higher just to get two cold feet warmer. The rest of my body was OK but the feet just got cold and stayed cold. So after waiting another winter I finally bought one. Now with this foot warmer I find that in as little as 10 minutes I...

I bought this last winter (2004), despite the many reviews warning about the odor emitted, and boy, do I regret it! I thought I could tough it out; most people said the horrible skunk smell would GO AWAY after some time, and, to me, warm feet would be worth a temporary annoyance. As some have suggested, I plugged this in the garage first, to try to burn off much of the odor before bringing it inside. I left it plugged in a large part of the day for about two weeks. The smell was definitely horrible, but I guess because our garage is very large, and far from airtight, the full extent of the noxious odor was not obvious, until I moved it into the office. In just a few minutes, the entire HOUSE smelled like a charred skunk. But it was more than a smell, it was a TASTE as well, and we coughed quite a bit if we tried to stay in the office with it, and I got a horrible headace. I turned it off and decided to give it another week in the garage, this time I left it plugged in all the...

Have you ever seen that Seinfeld where Jerry's car is attacked by BO that doesn't go away, and lingers on anything that crosses its path? This has the same disease. Plus, it was clearly a used item - the packaging was repacked and the foot warmer was dirty. Gross, but it's a foot warmer so I thought I'd give it a chance regardless. In its defense, it *does* work - my terminally cold wife liked the warm footsy feel; unfortunately she has a sense of smell. The room we had it in is still stinky! Get this thing outta our house!!! :)

Questions & Answers

How do I turn off the pilot light in my old floor heater?

May 22, 5331 by Bethany

I assume I just twist the long rectangular rod to the off position but I wanted to make sure that would turn it fully off so that I don't have gas leaking out into my home. This is an old 1930's/1940's style floor heater.

Thanks!

if there are 3 positions,,"on,,pilot,,and off",,turning it to "off" will turn it completely off,including the pilot.......dan................ .......*****added later***** i wonder if whoever gave me a thumbs down on my answer has ever seen or worked on a gas floor furnace to even understand the question...floor furnaces are usually in a crawl space,,therefore they often have a long rod connected to the gas combination valve on the furnace end,,and connected to a control knob/handle on the top end so the homeowner can turn it off or turn it on,,even light the pilot from the 1st floor grate,without going into the crawl space!!!!!!!!

Can my rabbit over heat if he lays on my floor heater for too long?

Mar 24, 2009 by Emily

He is about 10 weeks old and he's decided that his favorite place to hang out is on the floor heater whenever its turned on. He always just seems really happy when he's laying there. I know that rabbits can't cool themselves so I'm worried he might over heat. Please just let me know what you think. I just want to make sure the heater won't hurt him!
