Maintains water temp within a 10 degree range so there is less need to adjust at faucet. Ad states "sweat", however item recieved was threaded, requiring sweat adaptors that take up more room. Very happy with product, price was reasonable.

LG : WM2050CW 27 Front Load Washer, 4.0 cu. ft. Capacity - White Review

LG : WM2050CW 27 Front Load Washer, 4.0 cu. ft. Capacity - White

Updated review:
I love this washer! I did a lot of research on front loaders and chose this model over other LG's because it had the features I wanted and was significantly lower in price than similar models. So far I'm very pleased with this machine, which was rated a CR best buy. It was on sale at a local large chain home improvement store, and it qualified for our state's highest Energy Star rebate. We've had none of the problems that I had read about front loaders in the past--no excessive vibration on a wood frame floor, no water hammer noise, no odor, and the low water usage works fine. This machine has the features of similar models (other than the steam washers) except for the internal water heater/sanitize cycle, which I didn't need. It is very easy to use, easy to add options such as extra water or an additional rinse, and easy to change the wash/rinse temps, soil level, spin speed, etc. of the pre-set cycles. It has a stain cycle which I've not needed to use yet. You can also customize a cycle with your favorite options and save it. It holds a lot of clothes, gets them very clean, and is quiet. I thought our clothes were clean with the old washer, but this one cleans better, removing lots of what I had thought were permanent stains. I have yet to load it to capacity; our loads usually show only 2 of 4 possible bars. A queen blanket and lightweight coverlet and a couple of bath towels also filled it only about halfway. The cycles run longer than my old top loader, as all front loaders do. Most cycles are running between 53-73 minutes. (In my original review I had erroneously said 113 minutes; it was actually 1 hour 13 minutes, or 73 minutes.) It also has a quick wash cycle for lightly soiled items. Uses very little HE detergent and a tiny amount of bleach (I use 1 tablespoon of Charlie's Soap powdered detergent) because it uses so little water. We would recommend this washer to anyone. The matching gas dryer works very well, too. I wanted the pedestals but didn't want to pay the outrageous price for them. I've found that sitting on a stepstool or chair to unload the machines works fine for me, so I don't miss the pedestals.
Although this washer has a hot water wash option, and hot water does go into the machine, there is such a small amount of water circulating through room temperature clothes and a huge room temperature steel tub that the water cools off to just warm almost immediately. I don't know if the models with internal heaters keep it hot or not. But the machine cleans very well anyway, so this isn't a problem for me.
Some added info- For those who have had the odor/mildew problems in a front loader: In researching front loaders, the odor issues so common a few years ago were often caused by detergent and fabric softener residues that build up in the outer tub. Bleach kills bacteria but does not dissolve these residues. To prevent this, use only about half the recommended amount of HE detergent, or use a HE detergent that doesn't have any additives or residues to accumulate. (The "green" detergents such as Charlie's Soap are the ones that usually don't have any residues.) Also, don't use liquid fabric softener as it leaves lots of residue in clothes and the washer. We've had absolutely no problem in this machine.

Samsung WF330ANW 4.3 cu. Ft. High Efficiency Front-Load Washer - White Review

Samsung WF330ANW 4.3 cu. Ft. High Efficiency Front-Load Washer - White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This machine doesn't have the annoying buzzer that our last machine did. It chimes. At first the dial with all the buttons was intimidating and I thought I would have to read the manual from cover to cover just to run it. However, I soon found out after turning it on how really user friendly it was. It even alarmed letting me know that it's hot water hose was crimped. Sure enough the hose was crimped and after getting it straightened out it was good to go again. It is really easy to pause the cycle too. This machine uses very little water and is very quiet so if your like me you may think something is wrong with it and sit with a flashlight looking in watching in amazement. You can really cram a lot in it and it all come out clean, and unlike top loaders it uses less soap and won't mess your bras up around a central spindle.

Seisco 22 Kw Electric Micro Boiler (75,080 Btu) for Hydronic Space Heating Review

Seisco 22 Kw Electric Micro Boiler (75,080 Btu) for Hydronic Space Heating
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As others have said, this company and products should be completeley avoided. We are residential builders and installed two Seisco units in a home we built. Circuit board for one unit had to be replaced within months of install.
Now a few years later the circuit boards for both units have failed and customer serivce says they will not have another circuit board to send us for a week. That means no hot water for the home and residents for a week or more. Simply unbelievable.
They do not take their business seriously it seems and when we have tried to contact David Seitz, the designer and apparent owner of the company, he has never responded. Years ago there were only a few manufacturers that made whole house electric units. Now there are many more and most of the large companies have product offerings. If you are dead set on using an electric on-demand unit our advice is to stick with a large company and prferably a known brand.
Needless to say we will never buy products from them again.

LG : LDF6920ST Fully Integrated Dishwasher - Stainless Steel Review

LG : LDF6920ST Fully Integrated Dishwasher - Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We bought this stainless steel dishwasher about a month ago. I loved the look and the price, along with its touted quality. After many uses, however, I am not very impressed. I hope that with a different detergent I will get better results.
Pros:
-it's pretty.
-you can put a lot of plates in it.
-it's very quiet.
-it has lots of timing options.
-it has a cool sounding ding when you press the buttons (which are hidden: an added pro).
-price, considering its appearance.
-built-in garbage disposal. (I do feel that this is somewhat misleading, since if you put your dishes in with that much food on them, the likelihood of them coming out clean is low.)
Cons:
-I have only used one detergent in it (Electrasol Advanced), but have repeated trouble with unclean dishes, even when using the power scrub setting. Granted, I am putting knives coated in peanut butter in the dishwasher, but considering the brand and price, I think this is not unreasonable. The knives generally come out streaky and I have to scrub them and rewash. Ceramic plates seem to come out fine (plastic children's ones not so much, for some reason - more caked-on PB?), but I have trouble with cutlery and anything that had food stuck to it.
-the top rack does not adjust.
-the bottom rack, when pulled out all the way (like "normal" all the way, not "on the floor" all the way), ALWAYS comes off track and you have to fight with it to get it back in the dishwasher. This is perhaps my biggest pet peeve about this dishwasher.
-when opened, the handle rests on the floor. Mildly annoying, except when your foot happens to be in its path.
-due to the poor wash quality, I almost always have to use the power scrub setting.
-it seems that the wash cycle takes FOREVER. I realize I am using the power scrub setting, but really. My old Kenmore did not take nearly as long, and cleaned better. I can't believe I am saying this about a Sears product.

Aube by Honeywell TH140-28-01-B/U Hydronic Heating 7-Day Programmable Thermostat Review

Aube by Honeywell TH140-28-01-B/U Hydronic Heating 7-Day Programmable Thermostat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The thermostat works great (bought three). It is quick to install and works on low-voltage and two wire line volt baseboard heaters. Only drawback is the loud click when the thermostat turns on or off but the sound is easy to get used to (so long as it is set to 15 minute intervals instead of 5). The unit is very slim and the faceplate is easy to remove from the wall mount for quick programming of a few side by side. The mounting (all electrical wires are hidden) is only the size of a light switch and would be easy to paint around.
Overall very satisfied and shipping was 1 1/2 weeks from US to Canada and well worth the wait.
