Hearth Safety Gate Review

Hearth Safety Gate
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

For a little shy of a year this gate was used to block off our fireplace and we never had a need to open and close the door of the gate. When we moved to a home without a fireplace, we stuck the gate in a closet and didn't use it for a few years. Then we moved again, and we needed to block off an odd shaped passageway from our 16 month old. In this new location, the door of the gate was getting moderate daily use. After two months, one of the vertical bars on the gate broke off from the top horizontal bar. This exposed a sharp jagged metal piece.
I realize that the gate is a number of years old, but in terms of actual usage, it is quite new. At the time, I paid over $200 for the gate. I would have expected better performance.
I called the company to alert them of the problem. They seemed to not give concern to the problem as a real safety issue, and they informed me that as the warranty only covered a year, they cannot help me. I wasn't looking for a free replacement gate, but I would have thought that a company of their reputation would care about the problem.
A number of years ago I had a safety concern with a product from a major children's manufacturer. When I called the company with my concerns, they asked if they could take the damaged toy back so they could research the cause of the problem. A few weeks later they followed up asking questions in detail about how my child was using the product, my child's size, etc. They really wanted to get to the bottom of what went wrong. (I happened to notice, two years later, the same toy, totally redesigned. I wonder if I was a part of it.) I was very impressed with how they handled the problem and would not hesitate to buy their products again, despite my initial bad experience.
In contrast, Kidco displayed a complete lack of caring in terms of identifying, or perhaps rectifying a potential hazard. Luckily, in my situation, my baby did not get hurt. But I could easily see a child poking out an eye, or getting their head trapped between the bars.
At the very least then the manual should include a warning such as: "Do not use this gate for more than six years - you must buy a new one if you plan a second child a few years later" or "The door of this gate is not meant to be used. Opening and closing the doorway of the gate will cause it to break."

I am using this fan to blow heat from the room my wood stove is located in, past the stairs to the second floor, to heat the rest of the first floor. Before installing the fan, the second floor was sweltering hot, while the remainder of the first floor was too cool, even with mild outdoor temps. With the fan in place, it is moving the heat to where it needs to be and keeping most of it from just going up the stairs. It is USA made and has a heft that suggests a good heavy duty motor. Also has a nice long cord to reach low outlets. Has two speeds, according to the box, delivering 60 cfm and 90 cfm, consumes 25 watts.

I purchased the Bainbridge II Dual Fuel Freestanding Stove with this optional blower attachment. The Stove works great for its intended purpose. The blower on the other hand did not work at all. When I purchased these items I believed they were going to be brand new products like the item description stated. The blower came in a box that had the return receipt of another customer still inside it. So, someone else returned it because it didn't work and then the company resells it to meas brand new! I have exchanged a couple of e-mails with the company about it but then nothing. They have gone unheard of! I'm now out $100 because this company refused to stand behind their sale. Look around for a different seller.

I was pleased with the realism of the flame function, but somewhat disappointed with the amount of heat it generates. I have a Dimplex stove-type as well and it outperforms the insert. Someone wanting the ambiance of a fire in the hearth, might consider how the Dimplex Stove would look in the firebox instead of the insert if heat is a primary consideration.

This is a very well made product that should last a lifetime. Sometimes you can tell quality just by holding it, and this is one of those times. The finish is excellent and welds look very strong. I used the tongs on some large maple logs and it handled them with ease. The stand is so strong that I think it would support my weight on each hook.

Average Reviews:

I have a nickel trimmed wood stove and at first was shopping for a right angled brush set to pull the ashes into the hole that sits above the ash box. After seeing that this minor modification commanded an unjustified premium, I instead decided to price out sets that had nickel or brushed steel accents. I had almost given up in sticker shock when I found this set from Aiden's Hearth. Thinking that it probably had flaws to reveal when received, I went ahead and ordered. It is absolutely solid and heavy duty, and looks fantastic on the hearth pad. I will gladly use a hand brush inside the stove if necessary, because I want to keep this one looking new. It will still sweep the exterior just fine. The nickel rail around the base is solid, the handles are solid, there are no cheap shortcuts on this set and I can't recommend enough saving $100 or more with this product over similar sets that can't possibly be superior in workmanship. I'll quit now before I sound like a shill - just a very happy customer.

12ft Woodhaven Firewood Rack - Black Review

12ft Woodhaven Firewood Rack - Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Rather than the recommended two wrenches, I used a socket and socket adapter with my portable drill to turn the bolts, and a crescent wrench to hold the nuts in place. Then I made the final tightening with the socket wrench. Not counting taking the parts out of the packaging and reading the directions, it took about 20 minutes to put together. All but one of the holes lined up perfectly. The one that was off, was still open enough to force the bolt through.
Everything appears to be well made. The instructions aren't clear about whether the "feet" should be angled in or out. I have some of both, and it appears to have not made any difference... but it would be better if the instructions indicated one way or the other.
So far, the black vinyl-fabric cover has survived a full New Hampshire winter and summer with no signs of decomposition or wear. However, I strongly recommend to the company that they punch a few grommets on the flap hems so that users can attach compression ("bungie") cords or rope or other method of tying-down the flaps. Just a light breeze lifts them up and off, despite the almost worthless hook-and-loop strips at the ends. I wound up running two tie-down straps completely around the top and bottom after I filled the rack with wood, and that worked.

INCLUDED COVER: This uniquely designed cover keeps the top row of wood completely dry and ready to burn, and allows for air to flow through the firewood to reduce mold and mildew and promote curing! All of the covers fit around the four uprights of the rack and move down as the wood stack gets smaller. The cover is made out of top quality coated canvas, and has velcro front sides for quick access to your firewood. This included cover is only available in black. OPTIONAL FULL COVER: This is an additional full cover designed to be used in areas with extreme weather conditions only during the burning season after the firewood has cured. It is made out of the same material that our standard cover is, with the front flap held down with Velcro strips on each side. The optional full cover is only available in black.

Although there were almost no reviews avaiable I took a chance and bought this. I was not expecting it to be so loud when the heater is on since the description says that it is a realistic fireplace. Once I got used to the noise from the fireplace I opened the box to assemble the mantle. The instructions are a lot less than detailed, just some pictures, and I receievd more screws than listed on the contents. I dont know what they are for yet. When I started to look at the mantle pieces wrapped in thin white foam, 2 pieces were really damaged (piece #1 and #5)Where they were supposed to be nailed or screwed together they were just flopping. So Ive called govacume 4 times and have not had the opportunity to speak to anyone yet. The last 2 times I called it just rang until it disconnected me. I hope they will make this right. It probably wouldnt be that bad a fireplace if the workmanship and packing of the mantle were better.

Hi: The Amish people do not use Electricity.
If you watch the commercial. You will see actors with glue on beards impersonate Amish men. This is like saying Catholic's make Christmas Bulbs.
The wood is not what they say, but stained popular.
Worst of all the heater unit is made in China. Not America.
Do the math. How can a 1,500 BTU unit use less energy than a coffee maker.
This is more like having 100 light bulbs in your home all burning at once.
There are good units for sale, but this company is making profits off the name of a fine group of people. "I am not Amish".
These units are not even recommended for houses, but apartments, trailer homes etc. Not large rooms.
It is true that a good electric (say oil filled) heater will save you a ton of money. But buy a different type of unit from Amazon than this.
You have been warned... Their employee's for the most part send in the good review's on the internet.

Char-Broil 463271309 M580 Quantum 4-Burner Infrared Gas Grill Review

Char-Broil 463271309 M580 Quantum 4-Burner Infrared Gas Grill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Well, I have owned the four burner Quantum for one year now. I purchased it at Lowes for $450.00 It's held up well, however, some shock adjustment was necessary, especially after the first few rains that it survived. It's kept covered, so I was in shock to see that the grates completely rusted after about a month on non-use and a few rain storms. However, the rust was only superficial, and cleaned off easily. All of the other exterior stainless steel does indeed stain if not kept relatively clean. Also, keep in mind that the tops of the side work tables and the cabinet base are not stainless steel, just painted with silver paint. While those surfaces have not rusted, any grease splatter left on the paint will permanently stain it. The thermometer on the hood was immediately rendered mostly useless by overnight dew after one nice summer night that the grill was not covered up. It still registers the last 1/3rd of the scale, but it's stuck 2/3rds of the way. Much of the silkscreened black printing, especially the safety instructions, on the bullnose of the grill have started to wipe off. There is some slight pitting of the chrome handle mounts on the lid, but no actual rust.
Regarding the performance. I almost NEVER clean the grates. It performs well even with stuff on the perforated infrared panel. I normally just preheat the grill for about 15 to 20 minutes, and most of what ever was previously there turns to ash. It still sears steaks beautifully after one year.
I made sure to contact Char-Broil within the warranty period to get replacement parts for ALL of the grates, the thermometer, and the lid handle. I should have also asked for a bullnose with readable silkscreening. So far the gill has performed very well. With regular cleaning and maintenance, the original grates will probably not rust through if they are regularly used. If the grill is not regularly used, the grates, and firebox will quickly rust away, probably within three to four years. However, with replacement parts, this grill should be serviceable for at least five to seven years. And, it will probably look reasonably good after that time.
It's not a "high-end" multi thousand dollar Stainless Steel grill that will become a family heirloom. For the $450 that I paid, including the in-warranty replacement parts received, it should last a reasonable amount of time, while still having the clean appearance of a Stainless Steel grill! But most importantly, it really does perform just as well as the multi thousand dollar grills. I have used Viking, DCS, Dynasty, and Ducane grills and this Char-Broil can do anything they can, (but it reaches searing temperature much faster and with better results)!

Its 580-square-inch main cooking area accommodates anything from hot dogs and hamburgers to steaks, veggie shish kabobs, and slabs of fresh pineapple, while the 200-square-inch upper warming rack comes in handy for keeping hamburger buns toasted or cooked food warm until it's ready to be served. The versatile grill also allows for adding wood chips directly on to the cooking grates for deliciously smoky results, plus it comes with a flush-mounted 13,000-BTU side burner for preparing side dishes quickly and efficiently. The Outdoor Stovetop side burner can also be used with the Stovetop Griddle accessory (sold separately) for making pancakes, eggs, and more. Other highlights include Surefire electronic ignition for easy start-ups, durable stainless- and painted-steel construction, and a dual fuel-source design that easily converts to natural gas with a conversion kit (sold separately). Fully assembled, the gas grill measures 59-1/4 by 22 by 46 inches.

I purchased this item but the heigth was a little too low, so I bought 6 in high pavers to put it on and it was perfect. I would like to know approx how many hours you get on a tank of propane. I'm excited to get many hours of enjoyment after the rainy season. Also the color shown on the web page is not correct. I was a little worried about the blue stones and was prepared to spray paint, no need the color of the stone is somewhat a putty, light olive green color. I also purchased to extra logs fromStonegate Propane Fireplace a local fireplace store and that was helpfull with the look while burning.
