Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fireplace Chimney Draftstopper Plug Balloon (Large Pillow - Fits Any Masonry Fireplace with dampers up to 38x16")
Customer Review: garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
Unless you have a gaping hole in your chimney or a flue that doesn't close, save your money. I bought this and read the directions assembled and installed this in under 5 minutes This is exactly what it looks like, a heavy duty plastic bag with a plastic kickstand to hold it up in your chimney.Pretty expensive for a plastic bag that you have to inflate. And what better way to ensure that customers don't return it. Once you open it you own it. So do yourself a favor and repair your chimney and don't waste you time with this item.Customer Review: Not a very tight fit on my fireplace
Summary: 2 Stars
It's really hard to get a tight seal with this product. I have a 1965 contemporary with a brick fireplace. The fireplace is a bit smaller than the actual pillow and when the pillow is inflated, the pressure causes the balloon to bend in the center and at the corners, creating gaps in the seal. Inflating the pillow less helps, but creates gaps in other places. I purchased this through Home Depot, so I think I can return it. I will try a Chimney Balloon next since that product comes in different sizes.Customer Review: bad design - didnt work
Summary: 1 Stars
I am not normally a person to review and complain but I had to pipe up on this one. I read the other reviews and figured i would take my chances on this product. I wasted my money. This product supposedly will fit "any size fireplace" and it does not. The pad was way too big and you had to cut a slot in it for the flue bar and it looks like crap jammed in the fireplace. There is no way this will work and they offer no other rectangle size options. Thumbs down - way down.Customer Review: happy happy happy

Batic Door Energy Conservation ... I purchased two fireplace pillows from this firm. From order to receipt took 3 days. Installation was as easy as the instructions said it would be. One of them failed. I sent an email to Batic and within one day, the replacement was on my doorstep. I installed it, same day, and it is holding up and working just fine. Thanks for exposing me to such an easy inexpensive method of reducing drafts in "this old house"! C E FraserCustomer Review: Total waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't waste your money. I got this balloon thing, and no way would it fit. They adversise that it "Fits any Masonry Fireplace". Nope. So you'd think they'd cheerfully refund my money, right? Nope. They agreed to give me a refund, but less 15% "restocking fee", not to mention the shipping I paid both ways. Expensive lesson. Better you simply rig something up with materials from the local home improvement store.
