Bionaire Micathermic Convection Heater with Fan

Quick Review: + Convection and Radiant Heat + Thermostat worked as expected, unlike most heaters. + Light - Only lasted 4 months - Went out with a bang, and sparks... - Made loud banging and popping sounds intermittently - Fan was tiny (read: worthless) and made a whiny high-pitched sound - No fan switch - it just turns on when heater is set to "high" instead of "low" Full review: Well, I guess since the heater just went out, It's time to write a review of it. It lasted slightly over 4 months, which is just pathetic in my opinion. It is still in the 1 year warranty, but I will not be seeking a replacement (reason below). As for when it DID work, I still wasn't the greatest heater I've had by a long shot. My Marvin Marvin Convection Baseboard Heater - 1500 Watt, Model# 3150 is still going strong and silent... too bad the company isn't around anymore. I'd buy another if they were. If you're expecting a silent heater, keep looking. I would call this heater "mostly silent." In a quiet room, it is silent except for every few minutes. I'll do my best to imitate what you may hear when using this heater, from on to off: <on> click BZZZZZT POP POP POP. . . . . . . . . . . BANG . . . . . . POP POP . . . . . . BANG . . . . . click <off> . . BANG . . POP BANG. So, yeah, definitely DO NOT recommend for the bedroom at night. Oh, and the fan inside is tiny, and therefore has a rather whiny noise to it when turned on. I kept it off. What I did like about it was the way it heated. It puts out lots of convection heat from the top, but a very slight infrared-type heat as well. It's enough to warm the carpet within about a 2 ft. radius, but not enough to burn anything without putting it directly above or beside it. What I HATED about it was the way it failed: it made a small fireworks show. Not a nice thing to wake up to at 2am. Nothing caught fire, but that is still very unacceptable. I would only allow this type of heater away from anything flammable.
