Hardware & Housewares Review Thursday, May 10, 2018 6 Amaze-Heater – Game Changer in Wall Mounted Convection Heater Category By Pete Vangala, Chief Operating Officer, Amaze-Heater LLC Amaze-Heater LLC is the distributor for wall mounted electrical heaters in the United States. Our products are certified to UL Standards by Intertek and the only company to offer three different sizes (250W, 400W and 600W). In addition, we also have a 100W heater for under- the-desk space heating in office settings. Our heaters work on the principle of nat- ural convection and provide gentle heat to the entire room without the use of a fan. Our heaters are energy efficient as all the power is converted to heat. They do not have any moving parts and as a result have a silent no-noise operation. These units are designed for zero mainte- nance and a long life. We are the only company to offer a wide variety of wattages (100W, 250W, 400W and 600W). This gave the home owners some options based on their room size, wall space available, etc. A couple of enhance- ments (Ezymount and Heatguard system) were developed based on consumer feed- back. These developed customer confi- dence and trust in our brand name as evi- denced in the exponential growth of sales. We are not just distributors, but also hold major interest in the manufacturing company. Also, we are owned and operated by engineers and hence, we are interested in developing the best product and are always looking for ways to improve the product. Apart from having three different size room space heaters, we have developed two unique features. Firstly, the patented drill-less mounting system called "Ezymount" and secondly, the patent pending Heatguard system. A point to be noted here is that both these enhance- ments are customer driven. We used to have a couple of com- petitors until last year, but they have fold- ed operation in North and South Americas due to bad product quality issues and bad management. Although we had some product issues in the past, we have always stood behind our products and worked diligently towards customer satisfaction, which is our top priority. We have a warehouse in Orlando, Florida and we have the ability to drop- ship our products to anywhere in the con- tinental United States in any quantity (from single heaters to master cartons or pallet loads). For container loads, the product will be shipped to our customer warehouse directly from India. For more information, go to www.amaze heaters.com, call 407.421.7440 or email cozy.heater1@gmail.com.

New Shaggie Hothandlers By Janey Shekleton, Owner, Sales and Marketing All because Grandma did not throw any- thing away! Grandma B gave me pothold- ers made from her chenille bathrobe and that's how the Shaggies ® got started. Almost 10 years ago, Janey Lynn's started with just five colors of 10" x 10" cotton chenille cloths. Our re-orders just kept coming in so we increased our number of colors. After reaching over 16 colors, we brought in the Shrubbie with an added fea- ture of a nylon scratch-free back for more aggressive cleaning of pans and even veg- gies. Our loyal customers asked for a kitchen towel that would absorb like our Shaggies. Meeting the demand is what staying in business is all about, right? So Janey Lynn's came out with our 19" x 28" Shaggie kitchen towel. As we grew, we introduced "hotholders" and aprons. We have a unique line-up for your spa/bath area as well. Our perfectly sized Spa Shrubbie has a band for your hand to fit under and you can cleanse and exfoliate your face and body. We then introduced a user-friendly Back Shrubber with the exfoliating side and two cotton handles for ease of handling. All of products have the Shaggie high performance and absorben- cy people look for. From dishcloths, wash- cloths, cleaning cloths with absorbency over the top, our products has been expanded into several other versatile kitchen and house- ware uses. The Shaggie fits on the popular dust mops so it keeps the whole "Go Green" concept. Our colors are coordinated for the lat- est styles, or the mood you feel like. The basic premise of the 100 per- cent cotton chenille cloth is the amazing texture and performance, let alone the lifespan of the cloth! This year, we have brought in yet another fun and useful kitchen textile. This year, Janey Lynn's Designs proudly introduces the newly designed and functional Shaggie Hothandlers in the same luxurious chenille cloth that our customers have grown to love. Available in three of our most popular colors: Goosie Grey, Cha Cha Chili and Rin Tan Tan. This easy to use design has pockets to slip your hands into or simply use as a hot pad which makes it a universal kitchen textile. It comes 7" x 29". The Shaggie Hothandler has great potential and possi- bilities for an everyday affordable kitchen lifestyle. MSRP is $16.50. For more information, go to www.janey lynns.com.
