How does this one compare to the $289 TWFP1500 that you can find at sunheat.com or sunheatinternational?

I don't know the TWFP 1500. I do know we are very happy with our Duraflame. It provides a comfortable warmth during the cold winter days in our small home and is very eye appealing, like sitting in front of a warm fire.

I am sorry but I cannot help you with this, as I have never heard of that particular model. I do know that the one I have works great for me. I have an extra large living room area with cathedral ceilings and I use this for supplemental heat in the winter.

it has 2 settings, 400 watts and 800 watts. It won't heat your 15x20 room...it's more of a spot heater at the 800 watt setting. If you want something that can easily heat up with those dimensions, I would go for a Living Pure heater that puts out 1500 watts and which radiates the heat in all directionsI don't even use the oscillating feature because then the heat dispersion is uneven

I do not know that much about the solar water syster. I am using it in a hydra hot furnace in a motor home. Have had very good luck with it. Check to see what the boiling point is compared to sierra. $92.00 a gallon seems rather expensive compared to the Camco product. My problem is that my unit uses about 8 to 10 gallon per year. The concentrate is much more affordable for my use.

I believe the 2900 is 440 watts and has 10 year warranty vs. 3900 is 600 watts and 5 year warranty.

Please post a link if you know this specific model is on sale somewhere! :) I've seen the lesser versions (1810TZ and 1410) on sale and people confuse them with the 1810T, but this is the specific one I'm hoping to buy ASAP!

Tl;dr- China, and maybe.I bought this for my g/f and she and I are both pretty happy with it, but it isn't like buying a hakko or metcal where you expect it to last until the sun dims. Having said that, when I cracked the heating element it was quick and easy to find parts both locally (Fry's) and online. Whether that will be true in ten years remains to be seen.

I did a web search on the model number, and at a site elsewhere, it was listed as "Energy Star Compliant", and a second site (a wholesale site) listed the watts as 320.

I'm hoping the PK1200SS replaced the FCP412. The FCP412 seems, from looking at reviews everywhere, to have had a flaw with the heating element, which would fail after a year or two. If that's the case, let's hope they got that problem fixed this time around.

A 1500W Allied Precision pond heater costs about $20 less and is is probably better suited to your purpose: Allied Precision 7521 Floating 1,500-Watt Pond De-Icer/Heater

Hi. This is a professional model.. The $80 or so ones are not.. Look at the specs 100 power level settiings, cheaper models give you about 10 and they are not anyway near as precise. I do not have a cheaper model so my comparison is by a lot of research I did, reading reviews, etc. etc.I own 2 of these and do not regret the expense at all but then I am into precision cooking also.Good luck in your search Glenn

I don't know. My first was wonderful but developed a silver dollar size hole after two weeks. I did everything exactly as told so was shocked. I ordered new. Wanted to return first one but got sick and didn't. I would like it at the moment but too much pain to get it.I ordered a heated mattress pad and used it with great results instead. Mattress pad was Sunbeam about $40, twin, through Amazon and worth every cent. Never needed above low.sorry, long reply yet without clear answer for you. Good luck!

I have purchased several of the Sunbeam units over the past 15 years. I found it was hit and miss - you get a good one or you get one that leaks and have to take it back. About 5 years ago I switched to a Rowenta portable steamer, which cost a little more, and would not go back to the Sunbeam.

It heats up pretty fast but I recommend another flat iron that I bought on AMAZON for less money and it's Fantastic!!!! Go look at the reviews for FHI G3......THE BEST ..,.IT HAS INFRARED AND CERAMIC PLATES heats up really fast and 3/4 the price!!!!! So much better than this flat iron!!!

I've never used the sunbeam ultraheat but I do think this one keeps a very constant heat, honestly I have had to turn it down at times as I was thinking it wouldn't get too hot but it really does the trick and my wife likes it as well.

This is my review I posted on these heaters....you will probably need an new transformer/ignitor part #75-025-0100...see my review below I purchased the smaller PT-55-SS Pro Temp Sun Stream version new and within 6 months it needed a new transformer which costs $75 w/shipping and are on a 6 month back order so I purchased another one called a Heat Hog which is the same as the Sun Stream and after running about 3 tanks of kerosene through this one it also had the transformer go out so I waited for my back order transformer to get here and when it did I installed it and once again within 3 months that one failed also...I followed all the instructions which include letting the heater go through its "cool down cycle" when turning it off and before restarting and they still burned out. My old Knipco heater lasted 15+ years with very little maintenance I should have never replaced it with these overpriced throw away models from Pinnacle. No use trying to argue your case with Pinnacle customer service since no matter what it cannot be their fault you must not have been using the heater properly.

I agree with Gordon Levin. Look at Stiebel's Eltron sizing chart. Your electrical service, and your seasons have a huge bearing on the unit you choose. I have had the Tempra 2 Plus for 6 mos running the laundry room, 2 children's bathrooms and the kitchen without any problems in Houston.

The only difference is the 36300 doesn't have an outside thermometer. And the weight difference would be the temperature probe and the wiring (although I just looked at the product pages and it seems like the listed weights are swapped (although the listed weights and measurements on Amazon are almost always wrong)). I got the 36500 and I'm pleased with it except for the fact that I think it should have an inside thermometer also (though I haven't seen any that do) and the fact that the map lights are incandescent rather than LED (and I just bought it last winter, that's very strange in this age of everything going LED), but they are easily changeable to LED (it's just a matter of finding a decent led replacement bulb (most of them are cheap china junk)).
