Which is better, this or the Honeywell HeatBud? The heatbud looks nicer, but you could almost get two of these for the same price. How do they compare

Not familiar with the HeatBud. This Lasko personal space heater works very well to heat my personal space on my desk. There is no heat setting; only on or off. For the money, it fits my needs.

I feel HeatBud should be better and I am going to order one and return one of my Lasko Myheats back. I found Myheat's fuse seems to get blowed easier. I have exchanged two of them. The third one I decide to get refund.

I've never used a Honeywell Heatbud. As for the Lasko, it's on the floor under my desk and out of sight. I'm happy with it. If you need to make a fashion statement, go with the Honeywell.

The heating device makes no difference (as long as it does not draw too much power -- check specs); the only complication is the temperature sensor and how/where it is placed. The Honeywell unit does not come with a sensor and it will be tricky, but possible, to get the correct one from Amazon.com. I just used my old sensor, but had to experiment a bunch to find the needed series resistor to use with it to get it calibrated to the Honeywell unit for the small temperature range we cared about. I had installed the old sensor in a tube under the floor just under the tile and floor mats -- I had easy access from the basement ;-) The heating device makes no difference (as long as it does not draw too much power -- check specs); the only complication is the temperature sensor and how/where it is placed.

Sorry Deborah I never tried it against another unit. Are they Honeywell units? If so I would buy one to find out. I purchase 100's of these for crawlspaces and always use the same brand with no trouble.

I am not familiar with the other one. This one is well constructed. Looks great. Rolls easily. I have it in my living room that has 2 6ft openings on each end. It heats this room well but takes a little time to get there. I use to maintain temp in the room. It is located below my thermostat. in a more closed in area it would really heat well. I plan to get another for basement when I finish off a room. the remote works well. This is my second heating season with it. blower is a touch loud but not bad. I turn up TV just a bit. But its not annoying in any way. I get lots of compliments on it. I recommend it I am not familiar with the other one. This one is well constructed. Looks great. Rolls easily.

I have not tried the RED cyberQ but have read what they claim to be the difference. I can only tell you that the Cyber Q that we have has been a blessing and maintains the temperature as advertised and has allowed by husband more freedom without having to constantly watch the gauges. According to my husband, the temperature and timing is an individuals preference and comes with trial. All I know is that I have been on the receiving end of some fantastic BBQ.

I have a device that reports temp on the outside with a probe and when i bought this thermostat I did not care about that feature but i kept checking just to see how accurate it was and it is always within 2 degrees from my device which is pretty good considering it is getting it from the internet. I really like this thermostat which is why i updated the threads on this purchase but rarely do on my other purchases. I am really glad i did not get the nest because of what my friend told me about his and the fights he had with his wife because he has to tell her not to change the setting cause it will learn what you do!

I have not compared these two products. Mine are as loud as any that I have tried. I have enjoyed mine.

I think the black one takes higher heat of a BBQ. The company does have a web site explaing their various products.

The ZappBug Heater has one heater (the red square box in the product picture). There is uniform temperature in the unit due to the way it is designed, including several vents around the sides that allow for air circulation and even distribution of heat. We hope this answers your question. -ZappBug

they're both the same. just different prices. go for the less expensive. i have this one and paid only $262.00.

I wish I knew, I don't know. Check the BTUs but the one I bought works great. Nice and warm in the in between seasons. For everyday use the home version is fine. Possibly the grade of metal is better?

It's just ok. I haven't figured out if it uses less energy (haven't done the math on my electric bills). I used to have a cheapie Dura Flame fan heater and it was way better at heating my bedroom. I would leave it on & close the door & the room would get toasty. Same thing at my office with a small Holmes heater. For the price, I'm not sure if the Vornado is all that better even though it has such a high end reputation...

We bought a Honeywell 980. When it came it did not work. It cost $94 to send it back. We also have a Edenpure. No problems with that one for 4 years. Buy one from a store where you can return it.We just bough one from Walmart. Works great.

there are two different brands. I discovered that the Hape one was better built. If you found the Hape one for cheaper grab it!

It is mainly body heat that warms you up, but I have both this one and the mesh one, and the zip down panel does make a difference. I'd say which to get depends on where you live... it has to be pretty hot (like, over 85*, for me at least) before the mesh helps much... and the cotton is softer and generally more comfortable (though not by a large margin). So if its hot a lot where you live, go mesh. If heat isn't an all-the-time issue, go cotton

Sorry, I can't compare products... I only have the one I reviewed. I have had this NotePal for some time now and I am still very happy with it. I am confident that as long my laptop is on the NotePal it won't overheat. The fan is small and you have to remember not to block the air vents in the front of the unit [the side that faces away from you] but I think it moves enough air to get the job done. When you turn off the computer the fan stops as well and when you boot back up the fan comes back on. The fan stays on as long as the computer is on.

mine was purchased at a local, private lumber company. I personally do not recommend edenpure for efficiency, I would rather an oil filled radiator heater. they are quiet, slow and steady heat. takes a bit longer to bring a small room to temp, but once you have it set where you want it, you'll forget it's even there. these can be found at amazon, walmart, home depot.etc. costs range from 35 to 60 dollars. there are some with digital thermostat, to set precise temps. I prefer the ones that have dial and switch settings as they are less likely to fail. donny
