Bionaire BH3930-U Galileo Digital Console Heater with Remote Control

The BEST heater money can buy!
This is absolutely the best heater available. It is essentially the same as the Bionaire BH3900 (see reviews there), but this one has a wireless remote control that allows you to set it at a certain temperature, and it will maintain that temperature consistently. Just like the reviews said about the BH3900, this unit is almost silent, except for a soft "click" when it toggles on/off, as well as a slight crackling sound, which is produced as the elements expand and contract. It is very safe, as the heat comes up from the top, not the side, so the side will at most feel warm, not dangerously hot. The remote makes this heater from good to GREAT, because you can set the heater to the exact temperature that you want. No more guessing and playing with unlabeled dials. Also, you can set the remote to the other side of the room and it will only turn off after the entire room is warmed to that temperature. Then, when the temperature drops by one degree, it will kick on again to heat...

Bionaire BH3930-U with Galileo Remote
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST, provided the remote does not break. Without the remote you can set the heater to LOW or HIGH and in either case the room becomes a sauna! I have three of these heaters in my house, one for each bedroom, and with the remote they are really AMAZING (read the other reviews, they are 100% accurate). But I have broken one remote (the mode button is stuck) and misplaced another remote, and BIONAIRE does not have any additional remotes for sale. In fact they suggested that I return the heaters (even though I bought them 3 years ago at Sharper Image) and they would replace them with new BIONAIRE BH 3900, which are the same heathers but with no remote. So I think that Bionaire kileld this product because without the Galileo remote the heater is useless. That said I would pay just about any price to have two remotes, or for Bionaire to introduce a new units with BOTH a remote and an on board thermostat.

This is the best electric heater, period.
We are using this heater for three years and it still works great. There is really only one way to make a heater to keep an accurate room temperature - to have a remote thermostat. It's so surprising that other manufacturers don't get it, so far I've only seen Bonaire heaters with remote wireless thermostat. We use it in our daughter's bedroom and for three years the heater kept the room temperature between 68 and 69 degrees at night. We also have a LaCrosse wireless temperature sensor installed in the same room and the temperature never fluctuated more then 2 degrees from the Bonaire setting. I think it's the best portable heater on the market.
