"Good product when it works" 2010-04-01
By Mr. "Pete" (Dolores, Co.)
We received the product in a timly fashon even earlier than originaly stated. We enjoyed the product except for the sound effect which we turned off and the annoying red light in the center which we covered with duct tape. We used it on its floor stand in our bedroom for a few days and then hung it on its wall hooks in our RV for a few days. And then the fan stopped and the coils overheated and smoked and we turned it off and unplugged it. We reported this malfunction to the Bionaire people, they took down the serial number and promised to send us another one. As stated above we enjoyed the fireplace and it fit perfectly, as measured, in our 30' RV. We wished the product had worked and are a tad nervous about plugging in its replacement. The fan was always a tad noisey so perhaps the replacement will be quieter.

"2 small problems but otherwise amazing!" 2010-02-12
By G. Spicuzza
This heater is truly amazing. The fire looks beautiful and you can dim it so it's not too bright. It warms up my large bedroom in 15 minutes flat and will get burning hot after an hour. The crackling noise is kind of annoying but you can set it to mute. The only downfalls are that you can't set the timer for 3 hours--I wanted the have the heater warming for 1 hour before I goto bed and 2 hours into sleep (3 hours total) but this isn't possible--You can only set it for 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours... and the LCD screen is bright blue while everything else is dim red. That caveats are small and I still love this heater!
  
"Take the chill out!" 2010-01-28
By Jennifer Wright
I bought 2 of these around christmas time. One for me and one for a gift. The shipping was free and came in a timely manner. when I recieved them they both had specks inside the glass. I assume it was fragments from the fake log. That rattled loose during shipping. Never the less you can't get them out. Now there is slight discoloration under the glass on the red back ground. Also make sure you use the short screws to attach the base. The directions make it look like you use the long ones. If you hang it on the wall. It's a pain to take it down, and then attach it to the base. So i'ts really one or the other. As far as being a good heater it is. When i'ts in the teens it helps the furnace from coming on every 10 minutes! I've used it every day for a month now and my electric bill has went up 50.00. So if I would have turned up my furnace to stay that warm. My gas bill would have been alot more than that! So for sure buy one! They give off good heat, and the ambiance is cool too! Also turn off the fake log crackle.It annoys everyone.You will enjoy the ambiance alot more!
  
"Good if you don't mind these annoyances" 2009-12-21
By B.C. Geek (Vancouver, Canada)
The fireplace works fine in it's most important aspect: generating heat. It has a stylish, very contemporary design. The glass front is thick and smooth and you don't need to worry about cracking it. The blue backlit display turns off after a few seconds which is nice. Great remote that supports all functions. There are a few annoyances that were weighing too heavily for us and made me return it, though: First, since the unit is only a few inches deep and it is either wall-mounted or on the stand there is no easy way to hide the cord, which really spoils the appearance. The fan is a little noisy and keeps on running even when the heat is turned off, probably to cool the two lamps and to generate the light effect. The "crackling wood" sound effect sounds hollow and thin but can thankfully be turned off. Finally, the light effect is not realistic at all, just a waving background. If you don't mind these annoyances, it is a good product.
  
"Does the job" 2009-12-15
By Diane F. Hamel (Connecticut)
It's a nice heater, warms the room just fine but not very realistic looking it would be great if you could recess it in the wall then it would look more realistic. I leave the sound effects off as others have said it just sounds like weird crackling it's better silent. Visitors have made positive comments.
