The Bionaire Safety Smart Heater, is the radiant type, which is really designed to provide heat to nearby people and objects, not the entire room. The Bionaire Safety Smart Heater, uses infrared radiation to heat up people and things that can be reached directly by the waves of energy emitted from the heater. Radiant space heaters like the Bionaire Safety Smart Heater, are more cost-efficient in energy consumption when you wish to stay in a room for a few hours only. This way you don’t need to heat up the whole room; you only need to stay directly in the path of the infrared radiation. The Bionaire Safety Smart Heater, is fitted with several levels of protection to ensure safety during its operation. It will turn off instantly if it tips over. It is thermostatically controlled, i.e. it shuts off automatically when temperature settings are reached, and comes with a sleep timer. Individuals in the family, who are sensitive to cold, or the elderly, will find this radiant heater very appropriate for their needs. This is an electrical device so safety should be a prime consideration when you’re using space heaters. Place it in a location away from foot traffic, and keep children and pets away from it. Life has no reset button, think safety!
