What our customer's say!

"Yikes look at these reviews! Mine is dead too.", I bought a BAP3175 from Target and thought I was getting a good deal since it was clearance priced ($89). Worked great for about 2-3 weeks then everything went south. When I do get it to run, it only runs on 'Low' and then shuts off for no reason. I had thoughts of trying to fix it, but now I'm just gonna pitch it and buy another brand. I'm amazed at these reviews out here. How can a simple appliance be such a consistent POS? Good Job Bionaire!

"IT WILL MAKE YOU CRAZY!", I've just been reading what some of you other happy buyers of this product have had to say about it.
I say, "DON'T BUY IT! IT WILL MAKE YOU CRAZY!"
It really is a piece of junk.
I bought two (BAP3175) units from Target several months ago. One for upstairs and one for down. Took one back my next trip to Target. Unit was VERY loud and did not turn on after a day.
The second one was much quieter and worked for several weeks.
Then only turned on when IT was in the mood. Only turned off when unplugged.
After reading that other folks have had similar problems, and that the company is not worth talking to, I decided to take it apart.
I know nothing about computer boards, but with a little trial and error and ignoring what the buttons SAY they do, I found that only one button works. The sleep button, but only if I covered the light sensor. Then the unit ran on medium speed. I could not change the speed. I could not turn it off with the power button. The unit turned off when I uncovered the sensor OR hit the sleep button again. Great way to run a $199.99 machine.
REALLY - DON'T BUY IT!
If you already have one, so sorry, give the band aid trick a try.


"Terrible Design, Noisy, and Bad Electronics", I bought this item to replace another air cleaner that I was using. This unit didn't work correctly from the beginning. It would turn off by itself and wouldn't turn back on until you unplugged it and then hit the sleep button (pushing the "on" button had no effect). It was also EXTREMELY noisy even in "low" mode. I kept it in the very lowest setting as a result which meant it ceirculated very little air and was more or less useless.

I lived with it for a few months. Now the timer on the screen indicates the filter needs to be cleaned. After I cleaned the filter, I followed the directions to reset the counter, but pushing the "reset" button doesn't return the screen to show 100% clean filter. After two days of trying the screen still flashes 0% and indicates the filter should be replaced.

Now that the unit refuses to turn back on at all, so I guess it is going to the trash can.



"Quiet and Does the Job", I have allergies. I hate dust and sneeze when working in the yard. I suffered for years, and added two of these units to our home a year ago. Now, with one in the bedroom and den, I can't image life without them. I can tell the difference and I sleep better and hardly sneeze at all. The three stage filters are a snap to clean and change. The unit is quiet and I love the romote on the larger unit. I am a believer in HEPA filters and what they do. I have no negative comments.

"Add mine to the List - DEAD", I had high hopes, mine worked for 2 months. Long story short, DEAD. Customer Service was NO help at all. POS

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Horrible quality Control", I bought the 1130 and this as well. The 1130 air cleaner that was shipped to me worked for less than one day before just stopping. I called Bionaire and after being transferred many times I finally got someone who agreed to ship out a new one. It arrived promptly, worked for one day but then would not turn off. After unplugging it and plugging it back in, it did not work at all! I called again. The third one has been working for two weeks now but I had also bought this smaller version, the 1175 for another room in my house and it too is dead after less than a week - the display panel went blank even though it was still running. Now I have to deal with sending it back. There must be some major problem in the electronics - I would never ever buy one of their products again!

"Disappointed In Bionaire Product", The first Bionaire air cleaner that I purchased in 2004 broke down within 3 months of use...Amazon had it replaced, and now the replacement has also broken down and won't start. What's going on with these Bionaire air cleaners? ModelBAP1175 Quietech HEPA Air Cleaner.

"Defective on delivery", The quality control at the Bionaire plant is obviously unsatisfactory based on my purchase and the other reviews posted here. After receiving the air cleaner I discovered that two of the four speeds did not work. Additionally, the low speed fluctuated between low and high speed. The lighted control panel only displayed the fan speed and not the other functions. I would never buy another product from this company. What a piece of junk!

"DO NOT BUY THIS!", Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to the Amazon reviews before buying and I paid the price. The Bioaire worked fine for exactly one month and then it died. I called Bionaire and they told me to reset it by unplugging the machine for 15 minutes and then plugging it back in. That worked for two days, then it died completely. I cannot believe Bionaire continues to sell a machine that CLEARLY has serious motor issues. In any case, I'm returning it to Amazon and getting a refund. What a waste.

"Horrible quality control, these products don't work!", Here's the letter that I sent to Bionaire...I've yet to receive any "satisfaction" (i.e., my money back or a unit that works).

"Where to begin.... I originally purchased a Bionaire BAP1175 unit from Amazon.com. The unit worked but I could not get it to reliably go into the Sleep setting. After several weeks I decided to return the unit and get a replacement. You sent out the second unit, and that unit worked great...for two days, after which it completely died, and hasn't worked since, and this, after having waited for nearly a month for the replacement. I decided to be restrained when I called, and spoke with a very nice customer service rep., who agreed to send me out a replacement, 2nd day air. The replacement was a BAP1300. This unit worked fine, for one day as well, and now won't turn on. I believe that there must be a fundamental flaw in the design of these units. I am sending this letter as a last attempt at receiving some satisfaction. If I don't reach a satisfactory resolution I will feel compelled to search out every consumer review site on the Web, and post my negative opinion of Bionaire and your air filter products. It's a FAN for goodness sake!! I have to say I'm suprised I've had this much trouble. The unit itself seems quite sturdy, it just simply doesn't work."

Stay away from this product, if you don't want to experience endless frustration.
