Customer Reviews of Holmes HQH319-U Quartz Tower Heater with 1-Touch Electronic Thermostat
Customer Rating:   Summary: Decent heat but not overwhelming Comment: I purchased this Holmes Quartz heater about a month ago for my wife, who likes a *lot* of heat. She did not find it adequate -- it puts out a decent amount of heat, but it is not "burning" by any means. On a freezing day it does not heat her 12x12 office to 75+ degrees as she likes it. She switched to a heater with a parabolic "satellite dish" to focus the heat directly at her. That parabolic heater does not warm the office either, but it heats up anything right in front of it, to the point of discomfort, which is how she likes it! I'm not "cold-blooded" like my wife, and I find the Holmes heater quite acceptable. Running it for 15 minutes warms up my 15x15 office for a few hours on a freezing day. The fan is a bit noisy like a typical desktop oscillating fan, but it's just more white noise in the office. The safety features are good, and maybe you'll like the thermostat control, though a simple on/off switch is enough for me. Customer Rating: Summary: excellent heater Comment: this heater does an excellent job, it is easy to use and thus far quite reliable. the only design changes that would be helpful, would be a slightly altered hand hold for moving it from place to place, and an adjustment to the on off button so that it could be shut off by pressing an on off button separately from the thermostat button. Customer Rating: Summary: Lightweight, easy to operate Comment: Arrived in 2 days; portable, easy to operate, keeps furnace from kicking on as much. Customer Rating: Summary: Holmes Tower Heater Comment: Very satisfied. Product performs as stated. Heats a good sized room quietly & quickly. Customer Rating: Summary: You Will be Pleased Comment: I needed a space heater for a 650 sq ft room where I spend most of my day. I placed this heater behind my desk about 4 feet from where I work and under a window. I am pleasantly warm and during the day the room even warms nicely. Don't expect this heater to be a room heater. It is meant to warm objects near it and this it does wonderfully. I keep the main furnace thermostat about 4 degrees less than the heater thermostat and the main furnace only kicks off when I shut off the space heater at night. I highly recommend the Holmes Quartz heater for those who are fairly stationary during those cold days, but want to be warm without constantly running the main house furnace/heating system.

Choosing Appliance -> Ovens Most avid bakers prefer separate, even-heat double electric ovens. If that describes you - and you have the space - be sure one of the ovens is equipped with a broiler that provides at least 3,000 watts of cooking power. Also look for racks that pull all the way out and lock in place for safe, easy access to the oven. On the inside, a dark interior shows less baked-on grime, while a porcelain interior is easier to clean Choosing Appliance -> Cooking Pans This is another area where spending money is justified. The best pans combine different metals like aluminum or copper on the outside and stainless steel on the inside. Aluminum and copper are valued for their ability to spread heat evenly over the entire pan, and stainless steel is valued for its non-reactive qualities. Buy pans which are heavy and thick with solid handles that are well fastened to the pot. As with knives, buy the highest quality cooking pans you can afford one at a time, starting with a saute pan and a 3 qt. sauce pan. They will last forever. At some point, a stock pot (which will be especially pricey) should be considered for serious cooking. Holmes HQH319-U Quartz Tower Heater with 1-Touch Electronic Thermostat
