"Bad News Bears"
My girlfriend and myself had carefully reviewed all the indoor heaters featured on this website and came to the conclusion that this product might be the best bang for the buck after reading other reviews. Although, when we recieved the product in the mail and opened the product everthing looked like we had imagined it would. Once we plugged the heater in we noticed that it was only blowing heat out of one head unit (it is suppose to blow heat out of each unit) not two like it says in the manual. I went ahead and plugged it in for awhile hopeing that maybe it takes some time to warm the upper one up but after a half an hour I then understood what a poor product Bioaire had produced. To make things even better the two year warranty that features with this product is as complicated as one can get. You must fill out numerous amounts of infomation on a sheet enclosed with a return shipping money order that should be paid for the trouble of recieving a faulty heater and then they say it may take 3-4 weeks to get a working on back to you. I instead will just take the 80% refund from amazon becuase for one it is a much easier process and two becuase I really don't care to try another one of these heaters again. I think that if this product did not have a history of mechanical errors then it might be worth buying buy I think I am being very fair in my critic of this heater or at least my experience with it. My advice would be skip this brand and try another one in order to save you from a similar mess!

"Remote didn't work leaving the heater beeping all the time"
Just barely picked up the unit and the remote didn't work. The remote wouldn't allow me to not only switch the unit to auto, it didn't switch from celsius to fahrenheit either. You might not think that is so bad except the unit beeps once every 2 seconds until the remote is synced up with it. So $50 later I was left with a beeping heater that really doesn't put out that much heat anyway.

"Great Heating Unit, But Does Have Drawbacks"
This small unit provides excellent heating power in a small, attractively designed package. It does, however, have its drawbacks. One is the annoying design for the control buttons. One button on the unit controls both the heat temperature and the high/low fan (yes, only one button), which means you sometimes have to scroll through a number of temperature & high/low settings before you get to the one you want. The controls on the remote use exactly the same format. Even more annoying are the popping sounds the heater can make when turned on, but in idle mode. I'm guessing this is due to the ceramic heating unit being encased in a plastic shell. As the ceramics heat and cool in idle mode, the unit emits brief, sharp, random popping noises as the plastic elements expand and contract. Over time, I was able to block out these sounds, but think it is something that Bionaire could easily have identified and fixed during the testing phase for this product. In the end, these annoyances may be minor if what you are looking for is a small, attractively designed unit that delivers great heating power.

"I was freezing in the North East"
I would highly recommend this heater. Prior to this purchase, I owned a Pelonis oil-filled heater that looks like a radiator - it broke down in less than a year and was far to costly to have repaired - what a piece of junk. Anyway, the Bionaire heat is magnificent. Its not very noisy at all, heats the room very quickly, and the twisting position system is quite effective. For instance, it took about 20 min to heat a room 10'x12' several degrees, whereas my old oil-filled heater took 30 min just to get warm and another hour to raise the temperature just 1-2 degrees (using the same amount of power). I am very pleased at my purchase. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an excellent heater.
