the fitpc3 comes wirh everything needed to use it. it ois a great device that is low emf and low power consumption. The only issue it has is the amount of heat it generates when warching a video or movie. if you watch for more than 15 minutes the external heat sink case becomes too hot to touch. I'm not sure how this affects the device long term.

I have had issues like this in the past. I contacted the seller and they just sent me a new one free of charge, so that is where I started. Also, these units are generic and surfing eBay can yield all kinds of surprises. I paid too much for my unit here, as I found the exact unit on eBay today for less than half price of here . That being said it may be more reasonable to purchase a new unit.

Hello, The Lifesmart Heater i bought never worked good. I believe that i got a defective model. I fixed it myself and found loose wire connections inside of the unit. It reduces my electrical bill about 25% but i use two heaters in my house. One is the Lifesmart 1500 and the other is a different model Diva Tranquility 1500 model. I like the Diva model much better and the two infrared heaters combined heat my entire house well. My home is 1,260 sq. ft. and i set the heaters at 65 degrees and dont use my big whole house heater all winter. I do save some electricity in Kentucky. Our electric is expensive here and higher than a lot of other places we lived. I hope this helps you out! Hello, The Lifesmart Heater i bought never worked good.

Good heavens, at $5.95 & free shipping, what do you think you're going to get? Read the ad closely, and order what it lists. You will need to order a tens unit separately. Check for them here on Amazon. You probably won't find a better price. I found one for about $30-35.00. You have to really look though. Electrode pads are cheap enough, as evidenced by this tru-medic ad. Oh, BTW, the pads and the tens unit don't have to be the same brand.

Contact customer service I have heard they are very good about replacing defective units, mine is still working without any problems. I have read about complaints of heater unit failing, I'm crossing my fingers my unit is still working okay.

Thank you! I thought my unit was defective and I had a new one (different manufacturer) in my Amazon cart, ready to buy. I thought I'd try a quick search for help before buying a new one and am so glad I did!

If you bought the same unit I did the 83/200 didn't provide the downscan and HDI promised. Had to buy the HDI transducer after the fact. I called Lowrance and asked them about this. The guy I talked to said some people don't want the HDI downscan feature of the unit. I said really? Why would you buy an HDI finder if you didn't really want it? Anyway, no. Hook up the new transponder to your unit and keep the old one if you plan on adding another finder to the bow on a trowling motor etc... I'm thinking of selling the 83/200 on e-bay or my local shopper for the ice fisherman. The angle of the transducer is also important. need to play with it a bit. great unit, enjoy!

I hard wired it into my main electrical box; thought it was a better & safer option. May be possible but I never considered it. I really like the unit but it is a bit noisier than I originally thought. Not a problem at all. I am very very happy with the unit!

My unit fan runs continuously no matter what the setting. I never hear the compressor kick in.I am concerned about my electric bill also. How did any of you speak to a representative? All I got was to e-mail them and I have not heard back. Right now I am trying to use the bucket and see if shuts off when the bucket is full. What is a good setting for a large basement? I would appreciate any help.

Oh boy.....that is the LAST thing I want to do.....I'm actually using it just fine right now with an extra AC Adapter I had laying around the house. Maybe I was just shipped the wrong Adapter? I have no idea. I guess I will call Amazon tomorrow. Thanks for the reply!

I'm sorry, the last dynamometer that I sold was on sept 29. So you probably made a mistake with your email.... We can't find anything to your name. Please send us your order number so we can help you, if you bought fram us.

"What am I doing wrong?" Trying to save money. Mine worked ok as long as I was within 6 feet of it. I needed it to work at 25 feet so I bought a professional unit from a music supply store and haven't had any problems since. IIRC, there's a switch on the side you might have missed but this is a cheap sketchy little bit of electronica so don't expect much.

The unit I purchased was new. It still operates well. If you'll recall, I was railing against refurbished units and a reader directed me to a site where new units were available.

Mine was "like new" and I can only say how happy I have been with it. :-)I have purchased a number of refurbished products over the years and rarely - rarely - have I been disappointed!I also know of some that have not worked for friends; but rather than "going back" for another, they chose to go "new."We all have different levels of acceptability or patience. I do expect the units I get to work as if they were new! I understand the "refurbished" moniker and feel it is a great way to "sell" an "almost new" unit. Good luck with yours, if you choose one!

This is a (2) prong outlet device. Try calling the company who makes and sells this product and ask if they market a (3) prong version in your area and what stores carry them. The other would be the vender who is conduucting business using Amazon as a method of transaction or lower cost for sales. More than likely the company would be more suitable to answer your questions regarding the existance in inventory and retail stores that should have them in stock.

Hi, I would like to know if you need the probe plugged in to detect EMF. I see two conflicting answers below. Is it a yes or a no?

Why does 90% of the population think that it easier and more helpful to post a question on Amazon than to use 5-10 minutes using their brain to diagnose the problem and find a solution?There is the slight possibility your unit is defective, but it's almost certainly an issue of putting in the batteries incorrectly. There are only four (4) possible ways you can insert two batteries. Try all four (4) and reevaluate whether posting a question on Amazon will help you in any way whatsoever.
