BioSmart 1500PA 4 Element Breathe Easy Infrared Heater - 2013 Platinum Model



infrared heater-air-purifier combo - works perfect
My experience has been different from the other reviewers.
I have already bought some of these in the older model and absolutely love them. Have saved me lots on heating bills,
I rarely ever have to use my furnace. Plus, I've grown to love the feel of infrared heat. It's definitely got a different feel to it.
The CZ Infrared and it's newer generation, the BioSmart, are still among the better ones on the market in my experience.
The main company's website is also the most comprehensive and not just a one-pager selling a generic re-branded IR heater with no company info.

Reason I bought this one is because it also has the all year round air-purifier where I can turn off the heater part and just
run it as a stand-alone air purifier. So it has functionality even in the summer. I have lots of pets, so really wanted that feature.
This one puts out even more heat than the older models I have, which, by the way, are still going strong and I still love...

Almost Burned My House Down!!!
*** WARNING *** Plug almost burned my house down! It was working great for quite a while then about a week ago I kept smelling something when I would turn it on. I couldn't figure out what the smell was and I tried to locate the smell with no luck. Then last night I plugged it in and could smell it again and again I looked around and smelled around the heater. I finally decided it must be a little bit of dog hair burning off inside of the heater since I have dogs and they will walk by the heater, etc. and their hair gets into everything.

I later went to unplug the unit before bed and got a good shock as I unplugged it and the socket was BLACK!!!!! The cord was literally melted where it goes into the wall! I'm literally sick to my stomach thinking about what could have happened had I forgotten to unplug the unit for the night! The whole idea of these units is that they are supposed to be safe and not a fire hazard like the cheap space heaters you buy at the big box...

Awful customer service
One star is still too many. When your heater breaks down - and it probably will - you will not be able to reach customer service/tech support. They do not call back or answer email questions. You will end up with a heater broken and useless. You may get a season out of your heater.
