Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bionaire BAP825-U Air Cleaner
Customer Review: Loud and useless
Summary: 1 Stars
Bionaire is the worst company to buy a filter from. If they don't do it right away, then you're lucky, but eventually they will begin to buzz at almost any speed. They also seem to do nothing about the dust or smell in the air.
Customer service is the worst part about Bionaire products. They have two centers and if you talk to one one day chances are you will not get the same one the next. So if you fax in a copy of a receipt and call for confirmation, then you have to hope to get the same service center otherwise you will have to try calling again because they cannot transfer you or tell you anything about what is going on in the other center. Slow horrible service.
Customer Review: Unsure
Summary: 3 Stars
Not so sure if this actually is making a difference, but I don't have anything to add to the contrary. It did arrive a little later than expected but overall we are satisfied. I'm a bit concerned with how costly the replacement filters are but will wait to see how long it takes before we have to change them out. Customer Review: Buyer beware
Summary: 1 Stars
It's noisy when it oscillates, and the fan stopped blowing after less than 2 years of use (it still has power, still turns and ionizes, but...)
Much too expensive for this poor quality.
Customer Review: works well
Summary: 4 Stars
The unit significantly reduced dust and dander in the room. The first filter lasted about three months, which is good considering the amount of crud that it had to filter from the air. The noise level is acceptable. It's not silent, but it's not like a hair dryer either. I keep it on a medium setting with the oscillator on, and the noise level is comparable to a desk fan. Overall, I wish I had bought it sooner, as my husbands allergies are greatly improved while he sleeps at night, thanks to this air cleaner.
Also, one thing to remember with the ionizing units like Sharper Image or Oreck, is that they create ozone as a byproduct of ionization. Ozone buildup in a room can be toxic. Additionally, they are silent because there is no fan. Having no fan means the air doesn't get circulated, so the air immediately surrounding the unit is clean, but the rest of the room is not.
Customer Review: Read the instructions and you'll love it
Summary: 5 Stars
This air cleaner works great as long as you read and follow the instructions when initially setting it up (as in, make sure you remove the plastic from the air filters before trying to use it).
I have terrible allergies. I've had to go to the ER more than once because of them. I was breathing much easier the very day my Bionaire came, though. My only issue is that it isn't quite as quiet as I was led to believe, but it isn't too noisy on the low setting. Besides, I'd rather have a little extra white noise in the background than keep wheezing.
For the price, I think this unit would be hard to beat.
