What exactly does the "Eco" mode do?

It turns the heating coil from max to min several times to save electricity. This would be fine except when the heating coil goes from max to min the fan spins faster and much louder so it actually is annoying. For some reason, the fan is louder on the min setting (which DeLonghi calls "1"). Here is a quote from the instructions: Eco function In this operating mode the appliance will automatically set the power level to gua- rantee the best comfort reducing the energy consumption. In this operating mode the unit may switch the heating power level from maximum to minimum and viceversa, several times in an hour.

I use Eco mode for close-up heating - - when I'm sitting at the computer and just want to heat my immediate area. It doesn't force the heat out to the same extent as on high, so you can keep it closer to yourself (or whatever you want to be warmer). I don't think it makes sense to have it oscillate in Eco mode, since it defeats the purpose of lower heat for a smaller area.I also use Eco mode in my bedroom - - so I can keep the rest of the house even cooler - - so the fan doesn't alternate higher and lower, disturbing my sleep.

No where is it written in the package insert that this heater is energy efficient. So I doubt that it is. However, there is an "EC" setting (Eco-Smart) on some Sunbeam heaters. On this setting the heater cycles between high (1500 watts) and low (750 watts) to conserve energy. My heater is packed away for the summer months, and I do not remember if the EC setting is available on this particular model. Sorry I couldn't give you a definite yes or no answer.

Don't know the Ecotech, but the Hydor is a simple on off timed switch. If you set it to 10 min, it will run for 10min and off for 10. Or change a setting and if you run 2 power heads you can have 1 on and the other off alternating on-off.

You put the Eco Filter inside of the K2V Cup,(the brown one). It works exactly the same is if you were to use a normal K-Cup. You take the (brown) K2V Cup then put then Eco Filer or Kcup inside it, then just put it in the machine, all done!

Since each mode(sport, economy, track, etc) on the performance control has a different level of exhaust loudness, I don't believe the current version will do anything worthwhile but maybe a C7 version is in the works. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Mode 16 allows you to turn on and off the load by pressing the red button. Mode 16 ignores whether or not it's receiving solar power.

I believe that's part of what it does to provide clean power, but there is no setting for this. Auto for sure.

We have it in a media cabinet behind a glass door but the back panel of the cabinet is off allowing heat to be released. Haven't noticed much heat output and I believe it has an eco mode, allowing it to run on a cooler temperature. I'm really happy with this unit

There are multiple modes and it will do either of those things depending on which mode you choose. I generally leave mine in multicolor mode which changes color with each beat.

Eco Breeze has two fans an intake and an exhaust, together they create a circular air flow. The intake is located on the side, bringing fresh air into the room and the exhaust is located on the top, drawing out hot air from the room's ceiling, exhausting it outdoors. The circular air flow will exchange the air quickly, but there is not an exhaust only mode.

Mine seemed to do the same for a day, but it eventually kicked in and works like a champ now. If you tipped it sideways or upside down during installation, you can upset the cooling agent which will cause it to not function properly. Hope this helps and yours ends up working. Mine does over 1000 square feet with ease and that's on eco mode, too.

I've been using my Eee Slate 4gb/64g version since the end of Jan. I can get 4-4.5hrs easy on battery in power saving mode with the screen dimmed, and at it's lowest setting its quite bright and clear. This is no noticable lag, only glass effects are turnedoff in power saving mode. I did this yestuday while in a meeting, running excel, ie8 or or ie9, and an X-server (cygwin) using wireless and keyboard/mouse. The latest service pack (Win7 sp1) stopped the fans from running too.

In tow mode you can get some smoke putting your foot in it. Have not tried Power mode...don't see smoke in Economy mode.

That is a question I really can't answer. I would suggest calling the Ecofan Customer Service people as they are very helpful and will answer your questions.

The time and date are displayed in a dimmed state whenever the main power switch at the rear is on. I find this to be distracting and non-ecofriendly, so I turn the radio off with the main power switch. Doing this, however, requires it to be turned on the same way, negating the convenience of the remote control power up. Oh well, guess you have choose between eco-friendly and convenience. A minor annoyance with an otherwise excellent radio.

Good enough. It doesn't remember the last mode it was on after restart... Thats a handy feature.

First I bought the eco and then I upgraded to the mini advance. The egg turning is a factor, but heck, it's not that hard to turn the eggs. Then there's the temperature alarm on the advance, it really helped me. I could BARELY read the thermometer on the eco, they put it in a difficult location. It was so much easier to have the digital with the alarm. I never had to check the temperature and I appreciated that it was one less thing to worry about.
