Old Mountain 10129 Pre-Seasoned 2-Quart Cast Iron Tea Kettle

Old Mountain 10129 Pre-Seasoned 2-Quart Cast Iron Tea KettleA good kettle for adding humidity to the air on top of a woodstove. Do not buy this for drinking (tea, etc...) it was not made for that; it develops an interior rust crust after about a week. I would buy this again for my woodstove.

The kettle arrive quickly and in good shape. While I originally wanted a larger kettle, I have to admit that this one is easier to handle than my old one. It says that it is pre-seasoned, but it began to rust inside immediately and even shows rust aroun the rim under the lid. One good thing about cast iron, though, is you don't have to worry about it boiling dry as you do with other kettles.

This was a good buy for us. We live in Wisconsin and have a woodburning stove in our house. The kettle makes a noticeable difference and makes the air less dry. It also looks nice because it matches our black stove.

I guess the inside is not treated because it rusts pretty badly. The outside, however, stays nice and black. Also, it is pretty heavy to move so we have been taking a cup of water TO the stove to fill the kettle, instead of bringing the kettle to the sink.

Want Old Mountain 10129 Pre-Seasoned 2-Quart Cast Iron Tea Kettle Discount?

Like other reviews I experienced rust boiling water as instructed. Had to season it myself -not sure it was ever seasoned. Made in china. Don't trust the production standards there. Could have been painted for all I know. Good for use as a decorator item and humidity source with a wood burning stove. However, it will rust if used as a humidity source. I won't drink anything from it.

Mini Digital Thermometer Hygrometer Temperature Humidity Gauge

Mini Digital Thermometer Hygrometer Temperature Humidity GaugeI callibrated the Mini Digital Thermometer Hygrometer Temperature Humidity gauge with the Bovida One Step callibration kit 75% pak and compared it with several other humidity gauges,...including the analog hygrometer by Western Humidors, the Zilla Humidity and Temperature gauge, and the AcuRite Indoor humidity moniter. The Zilla was about 25% too low and didn't even register on the scale in about 20% humidity. The most accurate gauge was the Mini Digital Thermometer hygrometer.

My intent was to measure the humidity level in my acoustic guitar cases with a good hygrometer. The Zilla gauge failed miserably. It may be ok for reptile environments,...but I would certainly not recommend it for guitars or anything else.

Instead,..I would recommend the Mini Digital Thermometer Hygrometer by CT Power Tools.

Shows time infinite (does not automatically reset) temperature and humidity highs and lows with the push of a button. The manual reset feature is preferable to me the high and low readings for any length of time can be recalled until you push the Reset button how else would you tell how high or low the temperature was over a weeks time or longer for example you don't have to catch the readings before it resets as in an auto reset type. Compact too.

Liked it so much I bought a second one and it's just as accurate as the first when compared to a more expensive gauge.

I'm very pleased with this device. After much reading of the reviews, I just ordered the least expensive and most simple looking device of it's type, since I figure none of these are exactly accurate. It does what I need. I compare it to Weather Channel measures of temperature and humidity, and this little thing provides almost the same measures. Considering the 1 by 2 inch size of the device, that is pretty impressive. I'm happy I went with this one, and would recommend it to anyone who just wants a small, simple device that gives a rough measurement of temperature and humidity, within a few degrees of more costly and complicated equipment. It couldn't be easier to use either. You don't need to mess with salt tests or anything. Works right out of the box without even needing to read instructions. Simply the best for price and casual use.

I bought this and the Quality Importers HygroSet II Round Digital Hygrometer, both from Amazon. The latter costs less, worked better out of the box, and has a knob that can be twisted to recalibrate the humidity reading. That means that when I set both hygrometers in for the saturated salt test, and the Mini Dig Therm Hygrom reads a full 8 degrees too high, I am stuck with a way-off hygrometer. Of course, I can stick a piece of paper next to it, reminding me to always subtract the 8. The Quality Importers one, for $2 less, didn't read at 75 either, but twist the knob and presto! now it does!

However, the Quality Imp. doesn't come with the min/max capture. Rats!

By the way, the salt test is described on Youtube. You don't need a calibration kit unless you can't round up the following: baggy, bottle cap, salt, water.

I just received my guage and tested the hygrometer using the salt method. It read perfectly accurate. I will be ordering another one of these! It's small, which is great since I use it for hatching chicken eggs.

HoMedics UHE-OW14 Ultrasonic Cool and Warm Mist Humidifier

HoMedics UHE-OW14 Ultrasonic Cool and Warm Mist HumidifierThe product worked great for a few months and then stopped working randomly. I looked at the bottom of the machine and it seems a fuse burnt out (the misting function). There was a burn mark on the plastic base and mist was no longer coming out of the humidifier.

I wish it had an timer rather than continuously running. I found that when I used it in a smaller room it would get too steamy and would not shut off unless it ran out of water.

It is quiet and provides a good about of mist in the air. However, the rotating function makes more noise than the actual humidifier lucky you can turn it off.

Bought this despite reviews. What a mistake! Worked all of one night and then died! Had to ship it back and still waiting for another one. This is the time of year when I need it,and I'm playing shipping games with the company! I would never ever ever buy from them again! I am just hoping this new one works. And if it does, I will constantly be worried that it will stop at any time!

I did not want to believe the reviews and purchased the unit, I love the design and the fact that it is tall and distributes the mist high and far. It worked for couple days then it started to make a noise and then it stopped by itself after a few minutes of use, I could not get it back to work more than a minute. This is my third unit and all have had the same problem, now I'm done with this model and I purcahsed a smaller unit that stays on all night. Do NOT buy!

I love this humidifer! This is an extremely smooth operating humidifier. It has a sizable water tank, you can control the output of humidity and there is a contant steady flow of mist, as much or as little as you want. It also has an oscillating feature that works beautifully. It's taller than many humidifiers so you can set it directly on the floor and it's sleek so it's shape is not intrusive. I think it is a far more efficient and easier to use than most and if I want to move it while its running i just pick it up bt the center opening and water doesn't get everywhere. I love this humidifier and use it year after year.

Hunter Savoy 20516 52-Inch 5-Blade Ceiling Fan, White with White/Light Oak Blades

Hunter Savoy 20516 52-Inch 5-Blade Ceiling Fan, White with White/Light Oak Blades
  • Desinger white finish with reversible White/Light Oak blades
  • Energy Star qualified for greater energy efficiency
  • WhisperWind motor handles large rooms with greater efficiency and less noise
  • Three position mounting for flush, straight down or angled installation
  • Designed for large rooms up to 400 square feet

There is not much more to say about this fan beyond what I have indicated in the title of this review. Perhaps, however, a bit of elaboration is in order.

A comprehensive and easy to follow manual made the installation of this fan a breeze! The apartment in which we installed the fan was already wired for just such a device, so that was not a concern for us and I cannot address that issue except to say that the aforementioned manual does cover the topic of finding and preparing the right space for your fan. With a space already prepared for ours, it took us just under two hours to complete the actual assembly including wiring and installation.

The fan, with three speed settings and reversible air flow, has kept us cool through the torrid Florida summer and remains quiet as a whisper as it delivers its soothing zephyrs.

The blades are reversible, offering a choice of basic white or faux oak.

No light fixtures here if that's what you're looking for. Just an efficient fan that has proved, for this user at least, a quality product.

I purchased this fan about 3 or 4 years ago and I have only good things to say about it. I specially ordered it from Home Depot and I've been totally pleased with it. It is very quiet unlike many other fans I've seen around. One thing I can say about the Hunter fans family is that they are definitly quality fans. My mom only buys hunter and when she found out I was in the market she insisted I look at only the Hunter fans. I don't always do as mother says but this time I did and am glad I got an excellent fan with not problems at all. I would give 10 stars if theywent that far. I also like the idea that we have never had to balance the blades and no a bit of wobbling from the fan itself.

I have alway been very pleased with the quietness of the hunter fan. And this is just another hunter fan that I am very pleased with. I purchased the correct switch that goes with this particular model. Very pleased with the combination.

I have 8 of these Savoy fans. The last one purchased is different than the others most recently purchased in 2006. I have never had issues with the older ones. This one has not been quiet. I made a warranty claim and got another. The one sent to me as a replacement made more noise than the original. There is a distinct hum every revolution. They tried to blame it on the wall control unit since it was not a Hunter. I then went out and bought a Hunter control and it made no difference. they then said I probably damaged the unit by using the non Hunter control unit. Unbelievable! When I compared the older units to the new one it is apparent that they are using a smaller winding in the stator. I'm sure some engineer said they could get away with it and save some money. I will not be buying any more Hunter fans.

Hunter 20511 Savoy 52-Inch 5-Blade Ceiling Fan, Antique Pewter with Black/Cherry Blades

This product should be marketed as a KIT. Its innumerable parts required a couple of hours of assembly, and the mounting screws provided were too short.

It functions well, and eventually we may forget how long it took to get the fan in place, but don't figure on taking it out of the box, putting on the blades, and installing it. It isn't rocket science, but you'll gain some experience you may not have anticipated.

I order this thinking it was that exact same type of filter. It is an off brand not what is picture on website. To send it back it would cost me the same as I paid for it. Really be sure you want an item from this company the due charge a re-stock fee and will take some back for return shipping. The filter is like a honeycome style filter only half as much surface area. I did not receive any type of resolution after my inial email so I'm going have deal with it and buy directly from the manufacture.

I made it work in the humidifier but the filter did not have a frame around it as pictured on the site; just the center 'fins'

Original Bemis-brand pleated filter would evaporate a full two gallon tank of water in 24 hours. This product takes 36 hours to evaporate the same amount. Lower price of this version attracted me but will buy a Bemis style filter next time. A case of getting what you pay for want cheap? Then buy this product. Want better performance, buy a Bemis brand filter.
