Taking a somewhat unusually artsy approach for the product type, the Bionaire space heater line carves itself a piece of the marketplace through oddly beautiful heaters, rather than sticking with ordinary functional designs. With a brand name that plays on the word ‘millionaire,’ an attempt is given at an impression of luxury, but at a more commonly affordable price. The company has been around long enough, and been successful enough, to have created very substantial lines in most of the realms of indoor atmosphere and temperature-influencing devices, including even some pet products. The end result is a company that has a great deal to offer anyone looking, but also a great deal of differences from product to product that are worth taking in before settling on a purchase. Products currently available range the full gamut of fan-based, ceramic, radiant, convection, oil-based, and even electrical faux-fireplaces.
Regardless of whether you’re looking at Bionaire ceramic heaters, radiant or quartz-based or any of the other multitudes available, you’ll also find many structural differences from one product to the next. This has both positive and negative impact. A rainbow of colors and many different overall shapes allow you to select a Bionaire heater that works well with your interior decorations, no matter what the theme may be. However, it’s unfortunately impossible to ignore the negative deviations that come with this freedom of choice. The company has done a great job of providing everything anyone could want for heater purposes, but not necessarily with equally great quality control.
For example, many customers have reported trouble with particular Bionaire heaters being especially noisy, to the point of interfering with sleep. To contrast this, widespread opinion on some other select and completely different models indicates a complete lack of noise, but instead an accompanying highly unpleasant odor (not related to anything so insubstantial as burnt dust). This is far from universal or even commonplace for Bionaire products when taken as an overall look at the company’s vast catalog, but it just goes to show the range of quality and design issues that come from such variety of heaters.
Even the simplest and seemingly most reliable of Bionaire electric heater products aren’t completely exempt from this. Construction is generally efficient but not necessarily top of the line, as the company aims for affordability as a primary virtue. As a result, that beautiful heater you bought for a low forty dollars could very easily break if man-handled. If treated with a little care, most products should outlast the warranty easily, but ultimately the company sets no surprising marks for longevity within such a low price range.
All these points simply emphasize that any given Bionaire product within their heater line must be taken in and of itself, and researched carefully before purchase. While far from overall shoddy in craftsmanship, the company nevertheless appears to encompass, in its philosophy of providing as much choice as possible, the ability for a customer to choose wrongly.
