Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bionaire BH3955-U Silent Micathermic Heater with Digital Thermostat
Customer Review: A decent heater for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
I have this heater (from BJs), and it runs well, but it's not exactly silent: in "hi" mode with the thermostat, it sometimes beeps five times in a row, slowly. I have no idea what this means, but these beeps do wake up our son (it's in his room), so I have to say, no "hi" mode for us.
The thermostat isn't exactly accurate, either. To keep a room at 72, I have to set the machine to between 75-78, depending how cold it is outside.
Customer Review: Caution
Summary: 1 Stars
Be very careful with this product and do not leave it unattended. We purchased our Bionaire last December and, suddenly in the middle of February, it started smoking. It also made a terrible smell, which we luckily noticed right away and unplugged it.
Also, please be aware that although this product comes with a 5 Year limited warranty, the shipping and handling costs exceed the price of the heater - i.e. it costs the same amount to send the item to the manufacturer for repair or replacement as it does to re-purchase the item. Because there is no guarantee Bionaire will honor the claim and make the repairs/replacements, the warrary is rendered effectively useless.
Customer Review: If it's Bionaire: Buyer Beware!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this item thru Amazon and received it on 11/29/06 with its two wheels and rear axle (enclosed in Bionaire packaging) unmountable because they were the wrong size; as such the heater can't stand up and is unusable. I contacted Bionaire customer service and was told they are no longer manufacturing the item, dont have any parts for it and therefore would not honor the enclosed warranty which covers parts and service for 5 years telling I should get the wheels from Amazon?!!! Bionaire is clearly a company I would not recommend buying anythinG from. They are probably dumping unsold redundant products and could care less about the suckers that buy them.Customer Review: Useless Plastic garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
I was sent this device as a replacement when a Holmes heater I actually liked, the now-deleted HQH 306, began to malfunction on its low setting.
This heater, in a cheesy plastic shell, is a useless little disaster. At the highest setting, a tiny amount of heat is radiated upwards for a functional distance of about five inches from the unit's surface.
It's a darn good thing I didn't pay for this unit. It's so bad I will continue to use the Holmes heater on the high setting, turn the thermostat as low as possible, and move it physically further away.
