DeLonghi TCH6590ER, Extremely stupid control..

Extremely stupid control logic
This heater works reasonably well, it’s not too noisy on the LOW setting, but it’s electronic control is designed extremely bad. First of all it has three operational modes: LOW, HIGH and AUTO. Low uses half of its heating power and runs the fan on a slower and quieter speed. High - [...]

WS-2317 La Crosse, Excellent weather for the..

Excellent weather for the price
After many years of using the Davis Weather Monitor II the data link connection to the PC finally gave out and there appeared to be no replacement part available. I decided to try a much lower cost weather station that would allow direct wiring (giving fairly acceptable updates) as well [...]

first impressions and some undocumented features
The price is right on this little unit. The picture is a little better than my previous two portable units. The sound is a little worse (if I could increase the volume just a little bit more it would be perfect). It’s very lightweight. Like most [...]

Lamson HW1190 Outdoor, Unreliable, flaky

Unreliable, flaky
I bought a couple of these to control outdoor lighting around my house. They both failed in the same way after a few months, turning the lights on randomly whenever they “felt” like it. The remote control buttons only worked some of the time, requiring multiple pushes and some cursing.

Pelonis B-6A1, Classic 4, Best compact heater…ever.

Best compact heater…ever.
With dozens of so called “ceramic” portable heaters on the market it can be very difficult to sort through all the models. Here are the facts friends; Pelonis (Del Rain) pionerred the original fully ceramic portable heaters back in the mid 80’s…these models use 100% ceramic heating (disc design) elements and will approximately [...]

DEWALT DW682K Heavy-Duty, A Great Value

A Great Value
First, the rack & pinion design of the fence makes this a very stable and accurate tool. It is powerful and the grip and switch location is convenient. When used without the vacuum attachment, this machince shoots the chips right at the operator. However I always use a vacuum attachment because [...]

Sunpro CP8219 StyleLine, Sunpro CP8219 Fuel Gauge

Sunpro CP8219 Fuel Gauge
I had purchased the Fuel Level sender CP7583 beforehand. Then I installed it and the CP8219 at the same time.
At the turn of the ignition switch to ‘on’ the CP8219 functioned perfectly (which proves I did everything

But if the dial were 2.5ins I would have rated it 5 stars instead.

Black and Decker VF100H, Tip for buying these filters

Tip for buying these filters
Thought I’d pass this tip on to other users of the Dustbuster cyclonic models …
I have the 15.6 volt Hepa model, CHV1500. Needed to get a filter so I called Black and Decker to see if the VF100 (instead of the VF100H) would fit my model. They said yes, but told [...]
