It’s a little hard to get it in attic air, but once it’s in it works fine.

timely delivery and exactly as expected

Even though the product is good, it took too much time to come...almost six weeks!

Quick turn around and packaged properly so it's not damaged. Love the Artic Air but the filter must be changed once you see it discolored.
Thank you!

Works great

Emerson Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat with Touchscreen Color Display, Works with Alexa, Black, Energy

Emerson Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat with Touchscreen Color Display, Works with Alexa, Black, Energy Star Certified

Emerson Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat with Touchscreen Color Display, Works with Alexa, Black, Energy Star Certified

I have been in the market for a wi-fi thermostat for a LONG time (like 3 years). My main wish list of features was:

-- Something MODERN looking...like a small cell phone stuck to the wall.
-- Ability to remotely control my AC (obviously that's the whole point of a wi-fi thermostat)
-- Reasonable price
-- Easy programming
-- Maybe cool bonus features like playing music, reading email, etc.

Based on this list, I considered the Nest but then decided against it. Nests have really nice screens, but I don't like the round look. That does not say "modern" to me. Also, I work from home so I really didn't like the idea of having Nest "learn" when I am away (because when I am sitting in my office working, I am not away, but Nest would probably think I was gone).

I also looked at a few other brands, but many of these were already looking older/tired. I kept waiting for someone to come out with a new model, but nothing new ever arrived.

So, when I saw this Sensi thermostat I thought -- hmm, could that be the one? Well, I bought two of these a few days ago from my local big box home store (the blue one, not the orange one). They happened to have a 10% off sale (they were trying to compete with Amazon's Prime day), so the price was really reasonable.

As for the units themselves -- they certainly met my criteria of looking like a cell phone stuck on the wall....so CHECK to that box! They also have a cool back light feature which Emerson refers to as a "night light". If you've ever seen the movie Ex Machina, there are scenes where they show some sort of keypad on the wall that's backlit with very bright blue LED lights. I always wanted something like that, but that's not really what you'll get here. First, the night light is very dim, and the light is just plain white. Sort of a missed opportunity there -- it seems like for maybe 5 cents more, they could have given you the option of multi-colored backlighting with various brightness levels. Ho-hum, maybe the next version will include that.

Anyway, overall I am VERY impressed with these things. The backlight is still pretty cool, even though it's not terribly bright.

The screen is also VERY nice....not quite as nice as a modern cell phone, but much sharper and better than other brands I've looked at.

One minor complaint -- you can't actually leave the screen on full time. Instead, the screen will "sleep" after about 10-15 seconds. At that point, you have the option of allowing it to go full dark, or you can have the screen remain on with only the temp showing, but with a very dim screen. Some of the photos attached to my review show this -- if you see just the number 78 on the screen with nothing else, that's the "sleep mode". It's very dim, but the screen instantly returns to full brightness if you tap it anywhere, so no huge issue.

I feel like this is not a big deal....do you really need your screen to remain on when you're not using it? I don't, but on the other hand the screen is so nice, it would be better to give consumers the option of leaving it on. My guess is they will push out a firmware update that add that option, and even if they don't, it's not a deal-breaker.

If I have any other complaint, it's just that the default temperature setting did not seem to match my room temp (I have other thermometers in the same room reading 84 degrees when my Sensi is displaying 78). Yes, there is a setting in the app to adjust this, but you can only go +/- 5 degrees. In my case, I adjusted the setting by a full 5 degrees, and I am not sure that's enough. This isn't a life or death problem....you can always just set the cooling temp a few degrees lower to make the room comfortable (i.e., I used to keep my AC set to 78, but now I need to set it to 74 because the thermostat thinks the room is colder than it actually is).

Having said all this, I still think these units deserve a strong 4.5 star review....which I'll round up to 5. Yes, they have a few minor issues, but overall they are a solid value if you're in the market for a new thermostat (and no, they don't play music, but really, that wasn't a serious requirement).

P.S. These also were VERY easy to integrate with my Amazon Echo, so now I can change the temp just by yelling out: "Alexa, set downstairs to 76 degrees." This works instantly and seamlessly. Very impressive.

P.P.S. I hate the lack of user-submitted photos, so I have attached a bunch...enjoy!

I was looking for a smart thermostat to replace a 16 year old digital one. I was also hoping to find an option that would no longer require batteries. I researched many styles and brands and decided on this one because of a review for it that described how to add the "C" wire to power the unit, the ability to slow the run cycles down and the sleek look. (I think the Nest is way overpriced and looks like it came from the 1970's) My old unit only used the "Y" "W" "R" & "G" wires which I assumed was all that was available in my home. After reading the review on Amazon I realized that the wire loom between the thermostat and the furnace actually has 7 wires in it. Once I removed the old thermostat and opened up the furnace I found 3 wires in the loom that were unused. Also in the furnace, I found a 2 wire loom that goes to the A/C unit outside. Those 2 wires were attached to the "Y" & the "C" posts in the furnace. (Picture attached) I simply attached one of the unused wires in the 7 wire loom (I chose the orange one) to the "C" post and then attached it to the "C" slot on the installation plate for this thermostat along with the previously used four by following the directions that the phone app walks you through. I then powered the furnace back up and bingo. It works perfectly with no batteries required. I have no idea why this option isn't more well known or utilized but I couldn't believe I've had the option to set it up this way all along. The app also walks you through how to get linked up to your network which was quite easy. Once linked to my network, I can control it from my phone or the unit itself. My favorite thing about it is that it offers the ability to slow the run cycles down. The old digital unit had such a small upper and lower parameter for the temperature setting that it would cycle on and off every 5-10 minutes. With this one you can put it in a setting that widens the parameters so it cycles much less often and runs longer once it does. I would much rather have the temperature range be slightly wider and not run so often which is easier on the igniter and fan. My only knock is that the display only offers for the temperature to be displayed or nothing when it goes to sleep. I think an option to display the time and outside temperature as well would be cool since the phone app does it already. Last note is the nightlight function is a cool feature to make it look fancy but it would be nice if it had more than one dimmer setting.

I have had the older Sensi Thermostat for a couple years now. I love that thermostat and I will still use it. I will be setting that up in my detached garage. Issues I ran into that one with, did come to haunt me with this upgrade. I used to wonder why my old Sensi Thermostat, which was connected to the common wire (black), required batteries to operate correctly. I help a friend out doing HVAC, but I do most of the grunt work. So, after installing this new, Sensi Touch Thermostat, I found it to have no power. This thermostat does not take batteries. I had hooked it up the same as my old Sensi, and as I had finally figured out, my common wire (black) was not actually live. To make sure, our thermostats come with a jumper wire. I used this jumper wire to go from the red (power) to the yellow (air) in the thermostat. I then waited a minute or so, and my unit kicked on. That told me the unit was good and that I had no power to the thermostat. This is the bypass.I have yet to go under the house, but my friend who is in the business, states this is common. I had to take the panel off my outside unit to get to my thermostat wires. I decided, since it was around 11PM at night that I didn't want to go under my house, so I tried using the other, available common wire (blue). I replaced the black thermostat wire, which was connected to the blue wire from the unit, with the darker blue thermostat wire. I was lucky. That wire was hooked up correctly under my house. So, the only reason I share this information, is because I could not find it in Google, on the White-Rodgers/Emerson Sensi Q&A, nor Youtube. I don't want people to give this a bad rating for an experience like mine. It's a great product. I will eventually have both thermostats displaying actively on my app.
I have also seen some reviews stating issues setting up because the person does not have a cell phone, wifi, or ability for apps. This is a Wi-Fi thermostat. I can't go purchase products for a smart home, without smart home capabilities, and expect things to work or install correctly. This thermostat is for those with today's technology.

It's basic as far as a Wi-Fi tstat goes. However, if that's what's your looking for (which I was) then you can't go wrong with the Sensi Touch.
It VERY EASY to install. Emerson does a fantastic job in provided very straightforward directions and the Sensi App takes you step by step through the very short process. I think it took me 10 minutes to set it up and connect to my network.
The unit itself is very stylish and I really like the touch screen.
The app is very intuitive and is really where you should do all your settings and adjustments.
Customer support is outstanding. There is currently a glitch in the software that gives you an error with the current time shown on the unit. I called Emerson and within a couple of minutes I had that fixed. Everything else was perfect after initial setup.
It's not the cheapest unit out there, but you get what you pay for. This one is truly a keeper!

Excellent thermostat. The customer service and tech service is excellent. They will explain and walk you through everything if needed. The thermostat works with GH and Alexa. I used smart hub to connect it and signed on with the sister company wink to connect to GH.
I got it to work. This is how using ALEXA.
I selected FORGET device.
I DISABLED skill.
Quit out of Alexa app.
I went into Sensi app and named it whatever "SENSI MAIN FLOOR"
I went online to the sensi website using browser and opened my thermostat and made sure the new name was there...and it was.
THIS IS CRUCIAL...THE ORDER.
Find the SKILL Sensi and ENABLE it, link it . CLOSE TAB (following the directions).
Then select the DISCOVER box . WAIT for new name to be discovered.
Then give command.
I knew it was working when Alexa stated that it was in AUTO mode.
I tested this method with different names and thats how i know the steps work.

The panel is large and stays on. I like the orange for heat and blue for cooling. The blue should be a more distinguishable color to the grey base color. Schedules can be set with this thermostat.

This is my 3rd wifi thermostat purchase (2 Sensi, 1 Honeywell) which I consider a need, not a want, as we have more than one residence in the oh so hot south so it's imperative that we know if a system has shut down! First off, I received what I believe was a returned item. A tiny screw dropped out upon removing from box (but installer said not important so con't install) but then there was difficulty getting a wire connected due to a semi broken slot. Installed and used it but then there was trouble making solid contact so it would work (was able to eventually wifi connect it tho) so I contacted Amazon who exchanged it w/no problem. The replacement installed w/no problem and it seems to be working fine though I find the click when it powers on/off loud and slightly annoying. My old T stat was practically silent. I also feel like maybe it cycles on/off more than my old one but maybe I just notice it more because of the loud clicks. Other annoyance is that there is no battery backup like the Sensi ST55 T-stat (which I also have) , if the power goes out I'd like it to be able to maintain the settings (and be able to see the temp/humidity in the room) but you cant with the Touch. I also had to adjust this -3 for accurate interior temps, where the ST55 was dead on. I easily connected it to Alexa and it responds to voice requests w/o a problem. Aesthetically speaking-it gets 5 stars (yeah, I'm guilty of choosing form over function-otherwise I'd have just purchased another ST55) but functionally 4 stars due to what I perceive as shortcomings.

Edit! *I forgot to mention you can't connect to wifi using 5G, you must use your 2G! I found this out only after I had trouble and called Sensi support-this info was nowhere to be found in the setup info and the Sensi rep acknowledged this. It's Inexcusable!

Ok first off, I must say i almost returned this item thinking it wasn't compatible with my home. well turns out it is a C wire comes with all homes just have to look for it. I installed it and never knew that my C wire wasn't connected to my Ac unit. well i called customer service, just amazing service guys knew how to guide me step by step . don't get frustrated if you can't connect it just call customer service they will help you and you will have a successful connection. really great product and well build. 5 stars for me thank you sense support.

So the product itself it awesome! Does the job I wanted it to do. The problem with it is if you have a heat pump, some of the newer thermostats have a built in O/B terminal but still looks like it’s plugged into the W slot. I did not realize this and spent hours trying to get the heater and air conditioner to work correctly.
You have to take out the W and put it into the O/B on the new device and you’ll be off to th races. None of their tutorials cover this possibility.

I am in the process of turning my house into a Wi-Fi smarthouse. When I started looking at thermostats, I was a little hesitant at some of the prices (Ecobee, Nest, etc). Then I happened upon this Emerson Touch Thermostat. Though it may not have as many features as some of the really expensive ones, but still has plenty of features to make one happy.
First of all, it has an attractive blue backlight that you can have on all the time or turn it off (I prefer on).
Because it requires a "C" wire (like all new Wi-Fi thermostats) to keep current on all the time for the electronics and my old thermostat didn't have one, I had the HVAC company that installed my Trane unit send a tech in to install it.
The tech was very impressed with the look and ease of installation on the thermostat. Their company installs many other brands, but this was a first for them and they were most impressed.
Before the tech arrived, I downloaded and installed the Sensi app on my android phone. I created the account and left the app open to the installation page. The tech said that the instructions were super clear and especially like the illustrations that were available for the novice.
After he finished installing it (he ran new thermostat wire with the extra C connection), we turned the power back on. The thermostat immediately recognized the router. I followed the step-by-step instructions on the app and was up and running in less than 5 minutes.
I then linked the thermostat to my Google Home account and I can now control the thermostat verbally by command. There are quite a few "tweaks" that you can perform in the app. For example, you can adjust the length and sensitivity of the on and rest cycles. The shorter the cycle, the more consistent the temperature in the house (very few temperature swings). The factory setting defaults to "medium". As the windows in my Florida home are not well insulated, I found too many temperature swings, so I changed it to "fast". The house always stays within 1 degree of the setting and the humidity level stays around 42% (great for a South Florida home for comfort).
You can also set schedules for total automation. There are 4 times throughout the day accommodating for waking up, going to work, returning home and sleep temperatures.
The thermostat also can be set for "geo fence" automation. It senses when everyone in the home is gone and adjusts the temperature to a user-defined setting. There's even an option to pre-cool the home before your return so you never come home to an uncomfortable house.
In conclusion, I feel that this thermostat from Emerson is a far better choice than Ecobee or Nest. The design is very slick and attractive, I have always trusted the Emerson name since my first ceiling fan in the 1970s, and the price is very affordable.
As I said, it may not have ALL of the bells and whistles that the ones in the $3-400 range, but it has plenty of features for the average home and family. I highly recommend this thermostat.

Excellent Smart Thermostat with Great Customer Support!

I did considerable research and picked the Sensi Touch ( Emerson Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Thermostat with Touchscreen Color Display for Smart Home, ST75 ) because of simple, intuitive design, nice looks and its capability with Apple Homekit. Installation and setup was easy, but don't forget that you must use a 2.4Ghz home network for it to connect. My system was a 2-wire, heat only, without a C-wire. I could't easily run an additional wire to the thermostat so, after getting a recommendation from customer support, I purchased a 24 VAC transformer (24 Volt C-Wire Power Adapter/Transformer for Ecobee Nest Honeywell Smart Wifi Thermostat and Ring Doorbell by Fyve Global | 25 ft Cable) to supply external power to the Sensi Touch.

At first, there were a few bugs with the interface between the Sensi Touch and Apple Homekit. I contacted support and defined the problems and within a few days they pushed a new firmware to my Sensi and all was fixed. I have to say, this is one of the best experiences I have ever had with any purchase in getting problems resolved correctly and promptly.

The Sensi is easy to install and setup, has great features and intuitive menus. You can define and name as many schedules that you want with as many as 4 temperatures on any given day. I especially appreciate the large colored screen for easy reading and making changes. It looks good and works well with Siri and Homekit. I tell Siri "Good Night" and she turns the lights off, locks the front door and sets the thermostat to my desired "sleep" temperature. I highly recommend the Sensi Touch to any one looking for an attractive and easy to use smart thermostat, with excellent costumer support!

Miles Kimball A/C Side Insulation Panels Set of

Miles Kimball A/C Side Insulation Panels Set of 2

Miles Kimball A/C Side Insulation Panels Set of 2

This is the first year I've used these side panels for air conditioner units left in the windows over winter. They are great! Easy to cut to fit and definitely a boost to the warmth of the room. I also use a window kit of transparent plastic, because the windows with the AC units can't have storm windows. The side insulation panels are something I'll leave in for the summer, too.

These fit well in two of my three windows. My fault for not measuring them all. The one window is about 1/2" wider than the others so I cannot adhere the panels. I just have them sitting there with the mini-blinds low enough to hold them in. So far, they have worked well. I also used screen door mesh on the outside of my AC's to help keep the bugs out.

I bought these to help insulate the sides of my window AC unit~as they're described to be. Had to trim down due to being a few inches too tall but I just used the cuttings to insulate the bottom of my unit. I bought my unit from a friend so have never had the accordion sides. I used cardboard & duck tape, then put these in over for more insulation. I also used some black tacks to keep these secure. So far they're working perfectly! Would recommend & would purchase again.

Perfect fit. Took a little cutting to make sure the length fit just perfect. Cut it a little longer then you need to stuff it in there good. Ac is working less and more cool air is kept inside. It does what its suppose to do.

They were too large for the particular job, but I was easily able to trim them to size. I have smaller insulated windows (27" wide). The panels were thick and keep out the heat and cold air very well.

Description

Energysmart air conditioner side insulating panels close gaps between AC unit and windowinsulating and protecting your home from hot air, humidity, dust and insects. Simply trim this air conditioner side panel kit to fit; peelandstick adhesive included in air conditioner side panel kit. Set of 2. Each, 18" L x 8 3/4" W x 7/8" thick.



These should come as standard equipment with all new air conditioners. These are much more useful than the remote controls that typically accompany new ACs.

Easy to install and are working great against the Florida heat!

When I bought my replacement air conditioner I didn't realize it had insulating panels so I considered returning these panels but decided to give them a try. They are much better than the panels included with the new a/c and the dark color of the panels blend in very well. I'm glad that I decide to keep and use these panels. They are worth the small cost.

You must measure and cut carefully and you will need some type of adhesive to hold the panels to the upper window frame. I used double faced foam tape that is about 1/2 inch wide and comes on a roll. If you want these panels to actually insulate, then they must be sealed all the way around them.

I purchased the insulation panels to help insulate my window AC unit. They really do the trick, I actually trimmed both panels to fit on the inside and then used the trimmed portion on the outside of the unit. My ac unit is covered by a porch, so no worries about them getting wet. We have has some chilly days/nights, and we noticed a difference.

Woods 50001WD Indoor 24-Hour Heavy Duty Plug-In Mechanical Timer, 1 Grounded

Woods 50001WD Indoor 24-Hour Heavy Duty Plug-In Mechanical Timer, 1 Grounded Outlet

Woods 50001WD Indoor 24-Hour Heavy Duty Plug-In Mechanical Timer, 1 Grounded Outlet

I have several of these little timers to run plant grow lights in my condo that gets virtually no natural light. They are extremely easy to set up and use and they work exactly as intended. Just push down a segment to make it an ON segment and lift up a segment to make it OFF. There's a manual switch at the top of the timer so you can turn your light or whatever on at any time if you need manual control as well.

I use this to automatically turn on and off my reptiglo light for my Russian tortoise. He loves it and I love it. Doesn't make a ticking noise and is easy to program to whatever times you need it on.

It works. Better than I actually expected, even. It comes on and goes off on time. It is just for a single aquarium lamp right now, but I wanted to test this out and see how I liked it. For its price it seems like a great value to control my tank lights. I thought about getting fancy and connecting everything to WiFi.... but why? I have been switching the light on and off myself for years. This works just fine and I would recommend it. Super easy to use, too.

I purchased this item as am am going to be away form home for a few weeks. Connected it to the light. I am hoping that this would give curious people the impression that somebody is home! :-)
As a bonus, I also like the fact that when I come home from work the light is already on.
Setup was breeze, came with clear instructions. This thing just works and much cheaper than other similar mechanical switches.

I needed a timer to plug my Christmas lights into, this was perfect. I was a little unsure of how to use it because it didn't really come with good instructions. However there is a video on this page that explains what to do perfectly. If you're plugging it into a standard outlet and you put it on the bottom, you will be able to plug things above it. I made my mistake not realizing the plug above it was powering my flood lights and had a larger head on it. Still it managed to fit. Great deal works perfectly for the price

Life should be simple, not complicated. The Woods 50001WD Indoor Mechanical Outlet Timer makes life just a little bit simpler by helping you save time and money. The outlet timer is perfect for any 3-conductor appliances that needs to be switched on or off at regular intervals, such as holiday lights, indoor lamps, or fans. Are you going on vacation and worried about leaving your house empty for the weekend? Set the timer to turn a lamp on and off to simulate that someone’s home. The timer works will with both LED and fluorescent lights.



This product works great, and for my purposes I couldn't ask for anything better. I only give four stars because the timer runs a little short of 24 hours, so if you set the timer to turn on and off at specific times of the day, then it will eventually be off because the timer doesn't run exactly 24 hours. I personally have no reason for that, I use it to regulate a heater so that it comes on and off every few hours (the exact time of day isn't all that important to me).

At under 4-bucks each I purchased several for our greenhouse to use on some clamp lights with LED grow bulbs and it’s pretty much 1-timer for each light or a power strip running several. I also use one to control a small space heater and another for some heat pads. They do the job and the price was right.

Best product, easy to use, can set different timers for the day. It is like running 24hr clock with push button timer to on or off at perticular time and length. You can choose multi time and length. E. G I want to start my fan from 11pm to 1am and again at 4am to 6am, you can do it by just pressing buttons. Each button represents 1/2hr

Got these for Christmas candle window lights. Best feature is that they're QUIET. No little clicky sounds all the time. Had a different one in my son's room and he complained about hearing some kind of car or something running outside all night. Not a car, just the timer I had plugged in. Replaced it with one of these, and now he can sleep in heavenly peace.

Wish they were 15 minute increments, instead of 30 minute, but still worth 5 stars.

I suppose this would be easy for those familiar with timers. The directions were very short. I wasn't putting all of the pins down, just one at start and one at end. Anyway with experience you should be fine. Worked well after that.

XPOWER P-230AT Multi-Purpose Mini Mighty Air Mover, Utility Fan, Dryer, Blower with Power Outlets and Timer

XPOWER P-230AT Multi-Purpose Mini Mighty Air Mover, Utility Fan, Dryer, Blower with Power Outlets and Timer for Restoration, Cleaning, Home and Plumbing Use - 1/5 HP, 800 CFM, 3 Speeds, Green

XPOWER P-230AT Multi-Purpose Mini Mighty Air Mover, Utility Fan, Dryer, Blower with Power Outlets and Timer for Restoration, Cleaning, Home and Plumbing Use - 1/5 HP, 800 CFM, 3 Speeds, Green

This fan kicks ass I use it for my kitchen because it does have proper ventilation yet and I have a washer and dryer in my kitchen because that's where the only outlets are right now and I crack my door and turn this fan on and it sucks all the humidity and steam right out the door. I've used it when my oven smoked up the entire house and immediatley this thing sucked out all the smoke. When I mop my hard wood floors this thing dries them instantly. This fan is a. Life saver I've even dried shoes and clothes with it. Also if your kids put crayons in it or small toys it will not turn on and you can easily unscrew the three screws and dump everything out and put them back in and Bam! Fan is working as good as new. It's very sturdy and powerful this is literally in my top 3 favorite items that I've bought on Amazon and I but lots of things on Amazon and I'm very impressed.

I looked at several fans and weighed out the price and features and put all items to consider on the table. I choose this fan for several reasons. 1-can connect to other fans, 2-has a timer that can shut off, 3-powerful yet quiet, 4-price compared to other fans. It delivered all of the above items under 100 bucks!!!! I use them to dry floors for my property management company and they are awesome!!! A few connected will dry out a room in no time flat!! I use them when our company paints, has wet carpets from hurricanes, and just when there is heavy moisture in the air for our oceanfront condos. I am a fan and will buy more!!!!

This thing BLOWS!!! I wasted time on the big gray and black Lazko and I’m returning it. I do wish I could find a more powerful fan than this to help my outside dogs get a breeze in the summer, but this is better than anything I’ve seen so far and is affordable. I’ll be buying more of them.

Bought these for the garage because our SUV's bring in snow during the winter. As it melts it pools up or runs towards the walls. I bought this in hopes it would dry it up before it turned into a swamp. Honestly I was asking too much from this fan however, it performs really well! Yes it doesn't dry it up from two SUV's but if you squeegee the floor and let this do the rest, it can sure do that job no problem! Lets put it this way, I will always own one.

This is an awesome fan. Moves air where it's needed for me. Air to noise ratio is acceptable. I own both a blue and a green fan and I am very satisfied with both. Yes I would recommend it. Update, one of the green fans started making noise on start up. Would eventually guiet down. Returned for a replacement.

Green was less expensive fo hatever reason???..very powerful...built in timer can be over-ridden which to me was important...using it to circulate air in crawl space, so far so goo, running it about 2 1/2 hrs a day

Using this as a fan and circulating the air conditioning air throughout the place and its kicking tail! Feels like a air conditioner is on. And its sturdy, with great quality. Dries a floor fast as well.

small but powerful. Put in 4 car garage and it moves air well.

Use this fan for camping and it’s amazing

This unit did the job perfectly, was quite, and easy to handle. It was used to dry out a damp area in garage and basement.

Emerson Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat for Smart Home, DIY Version, Works with Alexa, Energy Star

Emerson Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat for Smart Home, DIY Version, Works with Alexa, Energy Star Certified

Emerson Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat for Smart Home, DIY Version, Works with Alexa, Energy Star Certified

First off I had a 4-wire thermostat that was on my system with 3 postion switch... heat off cool.. No emergency heat...it's a air conditioner with an electric heater (not heat pump heater) all in one Goodman unit .....

there was a yellow wire. a green wire ..... white wire and a red wire....and a jumper wire between RC and Rh that's all...

I had no C wire and this absolutely 100% works on my system with no C wire the batteries keep the screen lit .......

the wifi everything hooks up fine.....

So 5 stars for the thermostat pretty easy to setup.. Need to start a account with sensi
Free no big deal.. App works great..

Now for me the downside is it doesn't work well with Alexa it doesn't do the basic commands you can go to heat and you can go up and down on the temperature. Couldn't get it to actually turn the AC on or turn the unit off.....

The Sensi app works fine up down temperature everything works great heat ac automatic...

just doesn't work all that that smooth with Alexa. Over all .... So if just a good easy wifi thermostat I would highly recommend this.......

Updated update update update 1/28/18

wife figured it out... works great 10 stars

You have to say exactly

Alexa set thermostat setting to cool

Alexa set thermostat setting to heat

Alexa set thermostat setting to off

Alexa set to what ever degree you want

Purchased this model based on the good reviews and the no requirement for a c-wire. Decided to replace my 17-year old RobertShaw thermostat (t-stat) because I wanted remote capability. I was hesitant to touch A/C wiring whereas I had no experience with A/C wiring. The A/C company wanted $90.00 to install it, but I decided to do it myself since it was just a 4-wire system. (no c-wire). It took me just 15 min to remove the old, and then install/wire up the new t-stat. That's how easy it was. Was able connect the t-stat to my 2Ghz wifi network and used the Sensi app on my mobile. Everything worked just fine. No issues at all with wifi setup and using the app. It works exactly as designed.
You can make t-stats adjustments either by wifi or LTE on your mobile. No delay in signal. My wifi has never lost signal and has stayed up now for 1 week.

The t-stat itself (on wall) has very few settings. Just has temp control, fan/auto/heat/cool and wifi settings. All other settings are done via your mobile. There is also a light switch at the top of the t-stat that when pressed, stays on for 10 seconds, then turns off. BTW: The t-stat light is always off until you press any button. LCD screen is very easy to read with or without the light.

One of my requirements for a t-stat was to have a differential as to how much longer a unit will run once it hits its set temp. This model does not have a adjustable value, but does have a "cycle rate" of slow/medium/fast. I set mine to slow to keep it from turning on/off too many times. From the measurements I have taken with a infrared thermometer, the "slow" cycle has a differential of 0.7 degrees. This seems to be inline with what Emerson says (actually, they say within 1 degree).

Important note: If your home loses internet access, you will NOT be able to control the t-stat, even when you are at home on your local intranet. Some systems still let you access your devices via the local intranet, but this t-stat require cloud access 24x7.
Now, in case your t-stat screen is locked, and you lose internet connection, you have no way to do any changes on the wall unit since the screen is locked and your mobile is the only way to unlock it. In this case, Emerson has a key sequence you can press on the wall unit to unlock the display. (btw: the screen lock is a feature that you enable on the t-stat to prevent people from making changes on the wall unit)

Small issues:
The light switch at the top of the t-stat is hard to find and press. I never hit it on the first attempt. Always have to feel around at the top and press hard.

There is one problem I constantly hit. I goto my Sensi app and change any setting (temp, lock/unlock screen). The Sensi app accepts the setting changes, so you think all is good. However, when I look at the t-stat on the wall, no changes occurred (see attached picture). This has happened numerous times each day since I have had it. Called support and they are not aware of any issues. In each failure, my wifi signal is up - no problems with wifi.
After a few days of this happening, I see the problem. It does not appear to be the t-stat, but rather the Sensi app itself. It somehow is hung up, but gives the appearance that it is operating. If I kill the app, and restart it, the sync up to the t-stat is working again. Each time that the app behaves this way, I just kill and restart it. Works every time. So, each time I use the app to make a setting change, i just kill the app and restart when I need it.

The accuracy of the t-stat is pretty accurate (within 0.5 degrees of my infrared thermometer)

Overall, love the product. I can easily control my t-stats from my mobile or directly from the wall. Makes life very easy now.

Update: 12/10/18:
Product has worked flawlessly. No issues at all with wifi connectivity. Never had a dropped connection. Both wifi and 4G LTE connections always connect just fine. When making thermostat changes on your cell phone (wifi or 4G LTE), changes take effect within a couple seconds. Also, the problem mentioned above regarding the app freezing when your cell gets out of sleep mode, this has been fixed a while ago in an updated Sensi app. All around, everything works great. Love this product - makes it very convenient to remotely control your AC.

I wasn't sure how this thermostat would work for me but I must say I am very pleased. I live in Florida and usually have the AC off when I'm not home. but by using the app for this thermostat I can turn it on remotely before I arrive which is an awesome feature . some people complained that it goes offline and it does from time and you cant use the app but mine only lasts a few minutes . the Install is easy I used the app and watched a lady on you tube do an install and it was simple . Another feature that's great is you can schedule when you want it on or off so even if it the app goes offline it will still run how you like . I'll have mine set to turn on a little while before I get home from work and etc...overall I'm very happy with this thermostat and wish I would've bought it sooner ..oh I almost forgot I also have it hooked up to my Amazon echo's and use my voice to control it as well . many great features :) if your looking for a modern upgrade to your old thermostat this one will do :)

My HVAC Details: Natural Gas Furnace/Forced Hot Air + Centeral A/C with NO C-Wire

I have a rental so I wasn't about to run a new wire from my furnace to the thermostat. I really wanted to replace the $20 Honeywell thermostat which I had proven was very inaccurate at reading the temperature. I decided to get a WiFi enabled thermostat for a couple reasons.

1) After getting a Google Home, I've been making a movement toward home automation and voice activated controls.

2) My gas company offered a $100 rebate toward a WiFi enabled thermostat so I paid almost nothing for it.

Super easy installation.
1) Throw breakers for Furnace/AC
2) Unscrew wire terminals and pull wires from old thermostat plate
3) Remove plate (pay attention to which wire colors go to which designations) and mount new plate
4) Re-insert wires into same color designations as old thermostat.
5) Plug new Thermostat onto new plate.
6) Download Sensi app.
7) Turn breakers back on
8) Open app and follow the short instructions.

Done! The thermostat looks slick (crisp display, Amazon pics don't do it justice) and the app looks nice too. I haven't interfaced it to my Google Home using the Wink app yet.

So far, I'm very satisfied.

So happy with this smart thermostat. I just bought a house in NC and I have never done any electrical work but this was easy to install thanks to the very clear step by step instructions provided by the app. I will say it took us a bit more than 15 minutes, but it's so worth it. Because we both work during the day, setting up a smart schedule makes so much sense to us. We had this for 3 months and it literally already paid for itself. The app is extremely easy to use. I made a lot of research work and I don't believe anything fancier (like Nest) would really save me more money than this. I can't wait to replace my other thermostat downstairs which has zero features (just a number for temperature reading).

I will point out to few helpful things:

- Installation was easy enough but fitting the cables in the slots requires patience. Don't get frustrated and don't wait until your house gets really hot to do this. You will be sweating over the box trying to fit these tiny wires in.
- My thermostat is upstair and my router (it's a modern router I bought of amazon, not the junk the internet company rents you) is downstairs pretty far away. Connectivity works great and the thermostat is always connected. But note I had a C-wire so the batteries are just back-up power for me and I assume this helps.
- Finally, I had trouble connecting the thermostat from the app, when i realized that you have to be connected to the 2.4GHz wifi network in order for it to work. My router is a modern “dual band” router so it uses both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi (we have two different wifi networks). I usually only use the 5GHz network because it is faster, but I just had to connect my phone to the 2.4 GHz network (called "guest" in my house) in order to pair the app with the thermostat. Scary 10 minutes where I thought that after all my efforts the thermostat was not compatible or too far away from the router.

Great thermostat! It is wonderful being able to simply ask Alexa what the thermostat (inside house) temperature is! Fantastic on days like these with night temps in the 30’s and daytime in the 70’s. Just tell Alexa to set thermostat to heat or cool! Change change temperature settings by voice as well. The Sensi app is great for when you are in bed and you don’t want to get up nor do you want to wake up your partner. Just open the app and make your adjustments. Also using the app when away is great! If you are on vacation and your home area is forcast for a heavy freeze, just turn the heat on from anywhere!

Installation was pretty straight forward. Seems that most applications WILL need the “C” wire. I bought the C wire kit but didn’t need it! I was injured and unable to get into the attic. A friend with HVAC experience did it for me. Took about 10 minutes and didn’t need the C wire kit.

Setup wasn’t too bad. Had lots of problems at first and called customer service. The Sensi service was down at the time which explained the difficulty. Once the server was back up, it took seconds to have the app recognize the thermostat and mere seconds to have Alexa ready. Just remember to enable the Sensi skill beforehand!

I have had the unit installed for several weeks. No issues. I don’t use the program schedules as I really don’t see a need when you can use the app or Alexa at any time but a nice feature for those who use it.

I haven’t used the auto mode but I plan to. It appears that you can select heat, cool and auto. I’m curious to see if the unit will automatically switch from heat to cool on its own depending on the household temp. If so, that would make this unit even better than a five star!

I did a lot of research on a smart thermostat before purchasing. First and foremost was the ability to monitor and set temperature remotely, and to properly control my heat pump. An added bonus is this thermostat is compatible with Ecovent systems for my future upgrade to zone control. After studying most of the other units available, I came to the conclusion that while Sensi does not boast as many features, the features it has are extremely useful to me. That was the kicker. The fact that this unit costs hundreds less than the more feature laden units out there is also a key factor.
I am not fooled by features that won’t be used, or used so seldom as to be superfluous. After all, what do you expect a thermostat to do? Regulate temperature – Check; Ability to schedule heating/cooling – Check, Be able to control from a smart phone – Check. Sensi does it all. As for learning behavior and the other features rife on other units. Those features require expensive sensors, tuning and frustrating and repeated calibration. For what? So it knows how warm to keep the house? Can’t you figure it out? It is my opinion you are better off saving the money, setting a comfortable schedule and forgetting it. The other thermostats to me seem excessively expensive and do no more than this one.
Installation is very well done. I had one mystery wire on my old setup. I couldn’t figure out where it went. That was solved with a quick call to the tech support. Other than that, if you can install a light switch or light electrical, you can install this.
The web application and syncing the thermostat to the app was easy. Again, if you can’t figure that out, why are you getting a smart thermostat in the first place? Very basic, very intuitive. Not a lot of functions, but they all work.
This is a well-designed, well-engineered product. You may want more features, but you don’t need them, in fact most people never use those features anyway. Best bang for the buck on the market.

If you are unsure about what you are doing, or if you are not sure if this thermostat will work in your situation, the app or online tools this company provides answer all your questions and give you the reassurance you need. I was very impressed with the clear, simple, detailed, step-by-step instructions, which included optional video links for each step. I also needed to talk with a person from Sensi 3 different times as I installed 10 thermostats at a school. We chose them because of the simplicity of the design and the enormous quantity of professional guidance on the install. It is so impressive that a company in this business market still provides a phone call to a human who knows what they are talking about and is very helpful. If you are not sure which thermostat to buy, especially if you are looking for something in a business setting, I would recommend Sensi. Ease of use means no one will mess up the programming. And the app means you have a very easy way to catch those units that someone in the building kicked on and didn't bother to turn off when they left! This is the one you want!

Everything about this device, set-up and app is pretty good, but there are a few obvious shortcomings.

I have seen one of the more common complaints is that it loses its connection to the wifi sometimes. One thing that can help with this is if you can narrow the bandwidth on your router. Like a lot of home automation equipment this thermostat runs on the 2.5 GHz band. Many routers will have a setting where you can choose the bandwidth for that band (usually 20 MHz to 40 MHz IIRC). If you choose the smaller one you will get a stronger signal. Your data rate might be a little less, but your signal will be much stronger and that might alleviate some of the trouble people seem to be having. I had been having trouble with my phone getting on the wifi in parts of the house and when the thermostat had the same problem I decided to troubleshoot. Lowering the bandwidth fixed both problems in my particular case.

Another drawback is that there is no obvious way to remove schedules, or settings within schedules on the app. If you end up with too many set pts you will just have to enter the same temperature more than once as a workaround. And the display is not the same on every phone. The temperature setting dial is too narrow on one of my phones. So while none of these things are deal killers, but they profess a certain lack of polish and intuitiveness.

Another thing I dislike is that instead of being able to set how many degrees the thermostat will swing before turning on it instead has a short, medium, and long cycle setting which means you can't set a predetermined number of degrees that the thermostat should allow the temperature to fall or rise from the set pt before turning on the heating or cooling again.

The strong point is that the app leads you by the nose during installation so it is hard to make a mistake. Other than that, it works as it should and is fairly attractive for a non-touchscreen model. I just installed two of them in my house this weekend and they are working fine. I like this product very much despite a few problems that could be fixed with an app update, and all that remains to be seen is how it holds up over time.

Got everything hooked up. SeemEd to be working. Turned the heat on and turned the temperature up about 2°. The unit came on but the house got colder by 3°. Then the auxiliary heat came on and the house warmed up. Tried the cool setting. Warm air was coming out of the registers. The unit was working in reverse. With the heat on I was running the compressor as air-conditioner and auxiliary heat at the same time.

Did some research and found out that the reversing valve was set in the wrong direction. Configuration setting number five had to be changed. There was little or no mention of this in the manual.

PRECISIONAIRE 10155.011212 "EZ Flow Spun Fiberglass" Disposable Furnace Filter 12"x12"x1" (Pack of 12)

PRECISIONAIRE 10155.011212

I needed more flow for an overheating furnace so got these and they helped a lot. The end solution was return ducts with built in filter holders to really expand the intake. These filter OK with a lower particle trap rating and give a high flow. If that is what you need then perfect.

These work nicely for our master bedroom AC. They don't put a strain on the AC itself with too much stuffing.

I need two of these per month for my A/C unit and got tired of trying to find the right size locally (no one seems to carry these around here anymore!). So I took a chance that these would work well and ordered a 12-pack. They fit in my A/C perfectly, filter the air perfectly, and since I'm just throwing them out once a month, I'm pretty happy with the price, too. If I had terrible allergies or lived in a dusty place I might need to find something that has a tighter weave, but I'm quite satisfied with these. Exactly what I needed.

I've been using these for 11 years for my central AC system. My HVAC support guys say this is the product to buy - much better than pleated filters.

So much prettier than the green or white ones. Seems to be just as advertised and I am sure it will keep my air ducts nice and tidy

Generic Replacement Air Conditioner Remote Control for Midea Beko Mitsushito Raka Gold Ecron White-westinghouse BGH R51m/e R51/e

My trash can is next to a rave I sit my remotes on & the or conditioner/fan fell in 2 are ago . I lie to keep the fan handy if I get the house too hot in winter & I can"t walk or get up & down by more so the most difficult part of its transaction was finding the right remote. That took a wee of looking. I found it 2 days later it's in my house delivered on a Sunday & I didn't have to add any codes. I just added batteries & pushed the on button & it worked. Yes it does register in Celsius but I"he got the winter to figure that out. I'm happy as an old lady can be!

This is great!! It worked great with my TGM air conditioner. I was able to find this by locating my control’s Model number. It was a great buy.

This product exceeded my expectations. Very good quality and work every single option that on my old one for a Frigidaire Mini-Split. The holder is a very nice gift for my remote. Just great.

Worked for my Goodman ductless ac/heater unit. Important to not it only displays in Celsius not in Fahrenheit.

It did exactly what it was supposed to do.

SpeedClean MSB-KIT Mini Split Bib

SpeedClean MSB-KIT Mini Split Bib Kit

SpeedClean MSB-KIT Mini Split Bib Kit

We've had a mini split for a few years now and I've cleaned the blower wheel a couple of times with a flux brush and vacuum, but you can't do a very good job that way. This summer and fall it seemed like it was really down on performance, so I finally broke down and bought this kit along with Smith Contractor 190216 2-Gallon Sprayer for Weed Killers, Herbicides, and Insecticides and Nu-Calgon 416808 Evaporator Power, 1-Gallon . I underestimated the time it would take by probably 1/3, but only because my unit was so nasty and dirty. I ended up using two of the 2 gallon sprayer tanks with the Evaporator Cleaner, and two tanks with just clear hot water as a rinse. The first bucket that I emptied with the Cleaner water in it, was literally black with chunks of junk floating in it. The second bucket, after the four gallons of rinse water, was nasty enough that my wife commented when she got home 'wow, that thing was really dirty!'. I told her she had missed the REALLY dirty water, this was the cleaner rinse water! The bib takes a little thought to hook up and make work, but I had no problems with leaking. Pulling covers and panels off of the evaporator was the most time consuming, but now that I've done it once it won't be bad in the future. I'm figuring to make doing this service as well as flushing and cleaning the outside condensor (which I did earlier this year with a hose) a semi annual chore. With the equivalent temperatures and weather, I had the mini split remote set before the cleaning at 70 degrees, and my wife was always complaining she was cold. Now it's set at 66 degrees, and she complains it's too warm, so it obviously made a huge difference and it's now working as hard and should save some electricity. Just do it, it's not fun but it's necessary, and for what it costs and the value and comfort return it's a no brainer. The pump up style garden sprayer is probably not ideal for this job, but it worked OK and with the variety of nozzles it has it seems like it's up to the job. The cleaner also seems to work well, it foams and seems to help loosen up the dirt that sticks everywhere inside the evaporator.

I have not been able to find a good way to clean the squirrel cage fan. This item with a small power washer worked great. Ran system after and was working perfectly.

Once you do it one time, it'll be really easy the next. It took a bit to figure out how to attach the bag to the unit the first time around. One thing the instructions don't mention (but the YouTube video does) is putting the tape on the wall around the unit itself, not just on the electronics.

Someone made the comment that you're paying X amount of dollars for a bucket and a garbage bag. That is pretty well it, but the custom bag with the plastic bracket and ribs is where the value is.

Additional items you'll need - a sprayer (get a decent one, like a Smith Performance R200), cleaning solution (like Nu-Calgon coil cleaner), and a whisk brush for the coils (I got a Schaefer, which I didn't end up using since it was mostly my blower fan that was gunked up).

I think the only negative is the price, it seemed a bit steep to me.

Before n’ aft photos of my SANYO mini-split BLOWS MY MIND! Without this Bib Kit, this job would never be possible. One HVAC professional quoted $600 for the job. It took me 2.5 hours to accomplish. My 14-year-old stood by with a towel watching for any over-spray. I have laminate floors in a business environment with computer equipment. There was little cleanup afterwards. The floor remains perfect, the walls remain perfect, and most importantly the AC after 8-years of production WITH-O-U-T cleaning NOW operates as NEW!! Thank G-d! … it was NASTY, but no Legionnaires’ disease 😉.

There are a lot of DIY videos out there, but few recommend this Bib and IMHO they should. I highly recommend. I also used evaporator spray cleaner, and a garden hose with a sprayer attachment that, of course didn’t leak. We are extremely satisfied with the results and the savings. Good luck!

Used this system to clean catch the water from my ductless AC. Works as advertised. I wouldn't want to tackle this cleaning without one.

Feature Product

  • Attaches to ductless/mini-split systems and allows for cleaning with pressurized water and coil cleaner
  • Funnels all water and chemicals into 5-gallon bucket for proper disposal
  • Includes bib, adjustable mounting brackets, adhesive wrap and 5-gallon bucket

Description

Mini split HVAC systems are gaining huge popularity across the country - and the world. In fact, almost a million units are installed annually, and there are millions of units already in service. However, there's no easy way to properly cleaning mini split HVAC systems. Now there is. The mini split bib kit from speed clean quickly attaches to mini split systems up to 44 inch wide using special brackets. It uses the custom bib section to create a barrier against the wall and other surroundings so that you can effectively clean the coils, Fan blades and more with pressurized cleaning systems, like pump sprayers or our coil jet portable coil cleaning system.



I had split units in my sever rooms since the early 2000s and had no good way to clean them. Now that I have them for my home, I want to make sure they run efficient and clean. I use to manually clean these but it’s pretty hard. With the bib I can use the foam cleaner and rinse the coils out after. No more dripping chemicals on the floor.

It's kind of pricey for what it is. It does keep from making a mess inside your house when cleaning your coil unit, especially when using a sprayer. Comes with instructions, a bucket and some clear tape to cover electrical components inside the coil unit.

Complicated Returned it, but it does come as advertised. We just realized cleaning a mini split should be left to the pros

This bib kit did well staying on my split system for the heavy cleaning I had to do. Had lots of black mold buildup because I didn't clean it as often as I should have. Didn't rip or leak on me, but I wish it would funnel through via a hose and not a sleeve as it tends to back up when there's a kink.

I have two mini-split coils to clean each year, it was very messy before I found this product. Cleaning the coils now is a breeze.

Certified Appliance Accessories 15-Amp Appliance Extension Cord,

Certified Appliance Accessories 15-Amp Appliance Extension Cord, 3ft

Certified Appliance Accessories 15-Amp Appliance Extension Cord, 3ft

Great little cord available at a good price. Beware the flat type design of the plugged in end though. The cord exits the plug off to the side (as opposed to straight out). This design allows for a tighter fit against the wall (for applications such as a refrigerator, or an A/C unit plugged in behind a desk or a bureau). The negative is that you can use only one of these (or of this type) in a conventional two plug outlet. I forget to take this into account, so I couldn't use this cord where I had originally intended (there was already a flat plug in use in the other plug of the outlet).

I needed a short extension cord to be able to plug my small window unit a/c into a timer since the plug on the a/c unit is large and cumbersome. It works great and help save on my electric bill. I've been using it for months and haven't had any overheating problems at all.

I'm using the 3' cord as an extension for my space heater, which isn't quite long enough to reach the couch. So far, even when the space heater is on full heat, the extension cord and plug hasn't gotten any hotter than the cord the space heater came with. No melting, unlike the previous extension cord I had that wasn't rated for that type of wattage (before I knew better). I like that it fits into the outlet at a 90 degree angle, which makes it harder to accidentally pull out, and it fits more snugly into our old apartment outlets than the space heater cord alone did.

If you're going to use this for a space heater like I am, measure the distance you'll need and get the minimum length cord. Longer cords have more resistance and so generate more heat, so if you only need a little more length, get the 3' one.

Can I just say Wow! I bought this because it was less expensive than many other extensions cords and it was the size I needed. When I received this, I was extremely impressed with the quality and thickness of the cord itself. It greatly surpassed my expectations. I am super pleased with my purchase. It says this is for an appliance, but I plan to use it as just a regular extension cord. If you need a 12 foot extension cord, you will not be disappointed in this one.

Don't make my mistake when shopping for the low profile extentions. I pluged this in behind our nightstands, (Or any furniture that sits against the wall). It allows the furniture to sit against the wall without damaging the cord. I then plug a power strip into the end so that it can be available for outlets. I usually tuck the strip under the furniture in question. I made the mistake of ordering one similar to this one. It did not have 3 prong slots. This severely handicapped what I could plug in. I LOVE this cord because it has the 3 prong holes.

Nice hefty appliance cable. I used it to extend my Convection/Toaster oven cable... It doesn't even get warm when the oven is pulling enough amps to get to 400°F

I purchased two of these cords, a 6-footer and a 12-footer. They are heavily constructed, yet pliable. I find them extremely useful for so many tasks where a simple extension cord would be inadequate if not dangerous. I've used these to connect an electric turkey fryer with enough length of cord to allow us to set it on the porch to keep odors outside. Also use one to lengthen the cord on a crepe maker so we can prepare crepes at the table. I keep them on a hook in the kitchen pantry, ready to use with any appliance.

Before , my portable electric heater cord was getting very hot and every since I bought this appliance extension cord , no heat whatsoever. Not even warm. Great deal

Worked great to get my microwave plugged in to where I usually keep it. Microwaves come with such a short cord anymore. The cord completely matched the cord on the microwave in size and color which I found that it was meant to be.

My new vacuum's cord is too short so I added this extension and am delighted for more reasons than you'd expect. My old vacuum cord was 30' and the Dyson cord is only 24' so I was faced with having to replug it when I only needed a little more length. It occurred to me that an appliance quality extension should do the trick and 9' offered not only the extra 6' I was used to but an additional 3' that allows me to clean extra places I couldn't before--an added benefit. I should have thought to use an extension like this on the old vacuum too.

So I've now got the range I want without miles of extra cord to deal with, but an unexpected advantage to this cord is that because it has the 90 degree wall plug in, it doesn't pull out of the wall like the vacuum cord itself is likely to and did many times. The connection end to the vacuum cord is snug so it doesn't detach either if it gets caught on something and pulled. Because that plug end is rather bulky and the cord itself is not super flexible, it does sometimes get hung up on a chair leg or something, but is easy to shake free and I have confidence that I'm not harming it or the vacuum. I also appreciate that since the cord is a bit thicker and stiffer, it's not likely to pull under a door and get stuck like the actual vacuum cord does. All in all, I'm delighted and am only sorry I didn't think of this solution years ago. It makes my vacuuming chore so much easier.
