Not sure why. I had it on temperature setting of 78 degrees doing the circular fan mode and started smelling something like burning plastic. I'm watching it and then poof spark and a flame. It burned out pretty quick but still considering how tall this unit stands I wouldn't trust it. I warmed a small area in my RV and did a good job cutting off when the temperature was reached but after seeing this thing just catch flames, I wouldn't recommend it.

I purchased this heater and after one use (4 hours) in my daughter's room, it blew a flame spark and died. Luckily, the floor was not carpeted or else the flame spark could have started a fire in my 5 year old's room. Make sure you don't place the heater too close to the bedding or the bedding could have caught fire.Best Deals for Bionaire BCH9221-UM Ceramic Tower Heater with LCD Control
November 11, 2010:I got this in October the day before Halloween and have been using it in place of gas heat in the house. It is amazing. It heats up my 12x12 bedroom nicely and very quickly and leaves no plasticy or metal odor. It also surprisingly stays very cool. When I am wanting to take it to the living room I hit the OFF button, it gives you a count down while it runs a cooling fan, and then it shuts off without you having to worry about burning yourself. I carry in the room and I want and start over! It has a temperature you can set it to and it will heat the room up to that temp, shut off, and restart again when the desired temperature has dropped. It's awesome and we're looking into purchasing another for the guest bedroom.
Honest reviews on Bionaire BCH9221-UM Ceramic Tower Heater with LCD Control
I've only had the unit for a week or two so my comments are just based on first impressions. I've had many space heaters over the years and ship them off to electronics recycling after a few years when I start getting paranoid about the age contributing to a fire hazard. The only space heater that has ever earned my notice was a Bionaire tower that I bought several years ago. So I decided to purchase what I presumed to be the updated version. In this case, newer does not mean better. Nothing major to report just little things. First thing I thought was strange is that the display no longer reports the room temperature. It seems fairly basic and important to know what the temperature of the room IS, in order to decide what temperature that you'd like to set the unit. Honestly, I'm used to the old display showing the ambient room temperature so I find that having it missing is really irritating. Second, I miss the handle for easy lifting/moving rather than the new partial grab spot in the back. Third, the buttons are hard to depress I'm not sure if it is the buttons themselves or the strange tilted angle of their placement. Because the buttons are so hard to use, I am forced to use the remote control. And lastly, the unit is so much lighter that the tipping potential makes me nervous. However, we are careful to leave the unit on only when an adult is present for supervision. I'll reserve final judgment after more use.UPDATE: I would rate this at "zero" stars if I could. It lasted approximately 3-4 months with very limited use. Like many of the other reviewers the heating element blew out with a giant spark flying out of the unit and the smell of something burning. The best I can say about it is that it didn't burn down my house.
