ODL EZ14SCPNH 14"" Severe Weather Tubular Skylight Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)ODL Skylight
I bought this product because I read such glowing reviews on the HD website and on other websites that talked about different brands of tubular skylights.
It took 3 attempts to get an undamaged skylight delivered from ODL. I needed the 14" which Home Depot did not have in stock so I ordered online from Home Depot. The product comes directly from the manufacturer however. Before installing the skylight I blamed FedEx for rough treatment and the flimsiness of the box it comes in for the damage. After installing the skylight I see now that it is extremely easy to bend and damage just by handling it and trying to adjust the angle.
My husband and I are very experienced do-it-yourselfers. There are few remodeling projects that we have not tackled. I thought this would be a really easy project based on the video and what I read from other's who had installed it. It probably is fairly easy if you have a straight shot from the hole in the ceiling of the room through the attic to the hole in the roof. We unfortunately did not have this situation. We required 2-48" extensions. Because of having to deal with an awkward angle and the extension tubes this project took us the better part of a day - approximately 7 hours.
The installation in the ceiling is a snap. The roof was pretty straight forward. It was working with the tubes that was a hassle.
My biggest complaint is that the angled parts of the tube do not slide easily and get bent up as you try to adjust them to the angle you need. In general all the tubes bend and dent easily causing them to be difficult to seal when you attach them together.
While trying to adjust the angled tube from the roof it came apart and no matter how hard we tried we were not able to get it back together and just had to tape it which did not give a good seal.
I was so excited to get the skylight installed and bring light into my dark kitchen. The end result was disappointing. I'm not sure why, but the skylight does not bring much light in and certainly not the amount as was advertised even on a clear, sunny day. It could be because of all the difficulty we had with the installation and the bent up tubes.
If you plan to buy this product I recommend only buying directly from the HD store. That way you can return it if you have the kind of trouble we did - damaged when you open the box and parts breaking during installation.

Hunter 21894 52-Inch Westover Heater Fan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Installed this fan in a smallish home office as a replacement for an old standard fan. Installing was easy and straight forward. The unit has a small fan for the heater that sounds like small jet engine. Not only is it annoyingly loud but wholly inefficient. I would never recommend this for heating a room, or even supplemental heat. Save your money and buy a nice fan instead.

The Westover Four Seasons Heater Fan cools your home when the weather is warm, heats it when winter comes, and looks great the whole year through. Ideal for adding comfort to a bedroom or family room, the Westover may also act as the sole means of cooling and heating a space year-round. Either way, this fan is sure to help you heat, cool, and save on energy bills all year long.
Energy Efficiency EverydayHunter ceiling fans are designed for energy efficiency everyday, which means they get better performance using less energy. Other ceiling fans may claim efficiency with low-wattage motors, but they move little air. Competitors also compromise on blade pitch and blade surface area, which makes a fan even less efficient. Thankfully, Hunter ceiling fans harmonize precision craftwork with a one-of-a-kind motor for air movement.
Exclusive WhisperWind MotorThe WhisperWind motor found in the Westover Four Seasons Heater Fan Fan delivers ultra-powerful air movement with whisper-quiet performance, so you get the power you want--without the noise you don't.
Like all Hunter motors, the WhisperWind motor features copper wiring that has a balanced temperature rise in each winding. This eliminates hot spots for increased motor reliability and longevity. Additionally, the motor utilizes precision-engineered large and small ball bearings that provide minimal resistance and friction for virtually noise-free operation. And for even greater efficiency, the motor features an internal impeller that facilitates air circulation to keep the motor cool and to ensure long life.
Combined, these exclusive Hunter motor technologies result in 15% improved performance, 20% longer life, 20% less noise, and up to 47% savings on energy costs.
700-Watt Illumi-Heat Lighting FixtureThe Westover is unique among ceiling fans in that it features a 700-watt Illumi-Heat Lighting Fixture and PTC ceramic heating element that can keep your home feeling cozy during colder months. The aerodynamic design directs heat downward, and the fan offers three-speed downdraft and updraft options. Also, the blades help circulate heat evenly throughout a room, helping to prevent cold spots and to lengthen the time between each heat cycle.
Savings Without SacrificeIn the summer, use this unique fan conventionally to cut back on air conditioning--without sacrificing comfort. When it gets cold, make the switch to heat, so you can stay warm at a lower thermostat setting. Ideal for adding comfort to a bedroom or family room, the Westover may also act as the sole means of cooling and heating a space year-round. Either way, this fan is sure to help you save on energy bills all year long.
Durable Fan is Easy to Install and OperateDesigned with homeowners in mind, this fan features Hunter's patented EZ Hang Mounting System, which makes installation simple and safe. The Westover installs just like a standard ceiling fan with no dedicated circuit required. For further convenience, the fan can be mounted two different ways--in a standard or angled position--for strong, Wobble-Free performance.
Made to perform beautifully for years to come, the Westover features an integrated 120-watt bowl light fixture that uses three 40-watt candelabra bulbs (included). A remote control is also included for separate operation of light, heat, and fan functions.
The Westover is backed by Hunter's famous Limited Lifetime Motor Warranty.
About Hunter: Building the Best Since 1886Long before the widespread use of electricity, people around the world counted on Hunter ceiling fans for cool comfort. Today, Hunter combines this heritage of 19th-century artistry with 21st-century design and innovation to create quality ceiling fans that look good and function quietly. And Hunter ensures all of its home comfort products--air purifiers, humidifiers, thermostats, portable fans, and bath exhaust fans--are as tough on the inside as they are beautiful on the outside--just like every Hunter fan since 1886.

Wayne WLS200 2-Horsepower Cast Iron Lawn Sprinkling Pump Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This pump does all it says it will. I have one that just had the shaft seal go after 16 years and I am buying another one. It primes quite easy. You have to provide your own wires to plug it in, which is a 15 minute job. I use it daily in the summer, and run it between 8-12 hours per day....so this pump/motor will hold up. It is rebuidlable, and I will do that, but am buying another because it is quicker and am not sure of extent of items that are wore out

Broan-NuTone 744FLNT Recessed fan/light, Energy Star, 70 CFM, 1.5 Sones, 6" white trim. Uses 14W R30 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this fan/light combination for a bathroom remodel. It is fairly quiet, not silent but definitely not annoying. My contractor, however, broke the light bulb that it came with, and I spent 2 months looking for a replacement. Its a special bulb, requiring a 4 pin connection. The only 4-pin bulbs that are commonly available are shaped wrong for this fixture. The only source I could find was to order the replacement from Nu Tone. At $20 per bulb, that hurts! It is CFL, so should last, but ...
Bottom line: calculate in bulb replacement costs. Its a quality product (my electrician was very impressed with it), the ONLY problem is bulb replacement.
