Toasty Purchase - my new review

Bought this last fall and it works great! The wires for the control were a little short, less that 3', which meant the switch would need to be very close to the blower. For me, this would mean near the floor by the fireplace - not where I want or need the switch.The heat sensor seems to be sensitive enough, but need to watch where it's placed. I had it on the firebox where there wasn't any firebrick and the wiring got very hot. Too hot in my opinion. Moved it to where a fire brick was and it works just fine. Just a little longer of a delay while the firebox comes up to temp.Fairly easy to install if you have basic electrical knowledge. There are instructions which were just fine for giving the gist of the install.It does come with a power cord, but direct wired through the rheostat switch and it does fine. Only it doesn't seem to have any speed control - simply on or off.

Pros
  • Great product! Works very well, and is reasonably priced!
Cons
  • Could not use product. Was defective, have had no notice on my return product
