Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

For instant warmth plus ambiance, this electric fan heater features realistic glowing logs and embers for the beauty of a fireplace without the hassle of cut wood, an open fire, propane, or fumes. The unit requires no installation and can be placed in any room with its sturdy floor stand or wall-mounted with the included hardware. Simply plug it in and turn it on. Heat emanates from vents below the glass, quickly heating up the room, and the realistic flame effect can function with or without the heat. Push-button controls and an easy-to-read programmable digital display makes it effortless to operate. The unit's thermostat allows for setting the fireplace to a comfortable temperature, while its 12-hour on-off timer can be set to preheat a room or to automatically turn the heater off after a specified amount of time. In addition, the unit's remote control works great for adjusting the temperature from across the room. Safety features include tip-over protection and overheat protection, which automatically turn the heater off if it accidentally gets knocked over or starts to overheat. With its sleek modern design, the fireplace heater measures 31-1/4 by 4 by 23-7/8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bionic fireplace space heater, January 19, 2009

By	E. Smith (Philadelphia, Pa.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bionaire BFH5000-UM Electric Fireplace Heater with Remote Control (Kitchen)

Even though it doesn't look like a tradtional fireplace, I still like it. It fits just about anywhere without taking up a lot of space. I don't like that it doesn't have life like flames; it's just a glowing, moving background. I bought it mainly because it has a REMOTE CONTROL!!! That is a wonderful feature! It has three stages of glowing brightness, which is great. I don't like the sound that is supposed to be crackling wood, but when I lower the sound, it sounds better and more like a crackling fireplace. It's easy enough to carry up to the bedroom, den, basement, wherever you want to put it. Just plug it into any outlet; but because it's 1500 wats,you mustn't have anything else plugged into the same socket outlet. I would recommend it to anyone.
I never write reviews, so you know I must like this product. Enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good if you don't mind these annoyances, December 21, 2009

By	B.C. Geek (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bionaire BFH5000-UM Electric Fireplace Heater with Remote Control (Kitchen)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT fireplace !! Get THIS one !!, December 28, 2008

By	Kenneth Gehan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bionaire BFH5000-UM Electric Fireplace Heater with Remote Control (Kitchen)

This fireplace is OUTSTANDING!! A truly First-class product. It's well worth the money. It even comes with a remote control unit, which I don't think was mentioned in the advertisement. The other so-called "fireplaces" shown are very inferior to this one. The Bionaire is the ONLY way to go!
