I just purchased and installed two units in my home.
We hope to gain a little bit of heat in our small bedrooms. Our thermostat for our forced hot air is in on the second floor and our bedrooms on the first. There can be a 15 degree difference between floors. The bedroom windows are large and aluminum framed and just suck the cold in. The forced hot air duct is in the ceiling, that are ten feet high. There is just not enough pressure to get the heat down and enough strength to overcome the aluminum framed windows. Every year we install patio door sized 3m film to the windows, draw the drapes sealed outlets and so on, this improved the temperature difference by ten degrees. Hopefully theses envi heaters can even everything out and work in combination with our forced hot air and our winterizing efforts.

Be warned the installation could go wrong if you follow the instructions. Our carpeted floors are not level and neither is the baseboard. Just tape the box to the wall, making sure it is level.

I will post a follow up to this review once it gets cold here in Boston.

Can we talk electric grills? I have a lowes brand "perfect flame" grill that is legal to use on our condo terrace. It isn't nearly as good as my smokey joe was, but does an average job. I needed to add a stovetop smoker to make up for the lack of charcoal when grilling some things. You just can't beat hardwood smoke on grilled meat.
I believe electric grill are hard to find, and my assumption is most apartments or condos prohibit open flames on decks. So can the apartment therapy staff or members compile a list for us limited by law or condo and lease aggrements?

We use the counter bar, when we are eating with our hands, and breakfast. Otherwise we eat at the dining table.

Consider your utilities as the "veins" of the home, if the structure is the "bones"

Oddly enough I was in Manchester Vermont two winters ago and the brick and mortar store was closed. Needless to say, we were bummed.
