So is it ANY cheaper on the bill to own one of these, rather than lease one?

The bill is the same, the advantage is that you don't have a contract you can cancel any time !! You have to call to Flex tv of Dish

Don't know why it is cheaper. The unit come in NG and propane versions. You cannot convert from one to the other. Make sure you select the proper one.

I own one of those units. But I have not found manufacture warrenties worth much. I would look to the manual that came with the unit. I have the one I use in a rental, and the manul is there as well.

I bought mine last year from a local major home improvement store they sold it at a significantly lower price, and offered free delivery and installation. I preferred to buy it local as it would be easier if it appears any problem and because of the free delivery/installation.

The "cheaper" deluxe is not really cheaper. It's on sale. It's also a little lighter and has some extra control. Don't think you'll go wrong with it.

No monthly fee. You need a controller unit as a base, then you add as many accessory devices you want.

i guess I was dreraming-- I purchased this with the intent of replacing their DVR-and saving the monthly charge.. Thanks again for the input.

I think ours must run about $30 a month and we live in a high electricity cost area. Friction heating ts a lot cheaper than using a heating element.

Agreed... they need to lower the price. I would buy it here for even $20 more for a new one ($420) so I could get it interest free for 6 months but I'm not paying $80-$90 more

No you have to buy the duplex stuff to install it, it's about $ 90.00 on EBay. I hope my answer did help you in your decision making.

I also already have a contract, and I wonder if you found the MDa anywhere cheaper than $250.00?

Sorry, I haven't used it enough to find out. My experience is, however, that the portable AC's aren't efficient air conditioners, just a whole lot cheaper to purchase and install. If I needed and AC to be operating all or much of the time, I would probably buy the a permanent installation such as Mitsubishi and others sell.

I calculate the monthly cost for this item was around $24.00 a month for the less than 11 months it functioned before it blew out.So if you buy one just imagine you are only renting it. That way when it dies an early death so you won't feel so "put out" at have made such a lousy purchase decision.

One would have to be extremely technically challenged to not be able to set this up. The HUGE advantage that this has over RTI, is that you don't have to be a licensed dealer to have the setup software. So if you can't do it, any reasonably techy person could do it for you, at a lower cost than a dealer that has to charge a lot to cover the overhead of being a dealer.

There are working models available that are more expensive. The $35 offering seems to be a non-working model.

Try the web and buy yr equipment, it is a smart thing. Even try thru amazon and you can get a used one for less than 96.00 which is what you will be paying every year for the renting of it.

I don't think there is a benefit other than the cost savings. You do get the car/house power plugs, and the microUSB cable, but that's really it.
