Product Description
Exceptionally quiet, this big air cleaner is recommended for closed rooms up to 488 square feet in size. It has four speeds, a lighted, digital-display control panel that monitors filter performance, a remote control, and two filters. One of the filters is true HEPA, meaning it's at least 99.97 percent effective in trapping extremely tiny particles (as small as .03 microns) and removing smoke, pollen, dust, animal dander, dust mites, and molds from the air. The other is an activated charcoal filter that removes odors from the air and captures large particles before they reach the HEPA filter, prolonging the latter's life. Designed slim so it can be placed unobtrusively against a wall, the air cleaner measures 24-1/2 inches high, 19-3/4 inches wide, and 10-1/2 inches deep. The handles make it easy to move the appliance from room to room. It carries a five-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews:- TRULY THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE BARREL
 Terrible product. NOISY - even in SLEEP MODE. The unit claimed it came with a remote control - it didn't. The LCD doesn't work properly - when i replaced the filter, then the LCD stopped functioning COMPLETELY _ when i called customer service a woman named LISA who said she ran the entire BIANAIRE operation, told me that the most she could do to fix the unit is to CHARGE ME to SHIP IT to her - before her, the person was trying to fix my unit by reading me the owner's manual over the phone - honestly - RUN FROM THIS COMPANY - instead of shelling out hundreds only to be hung out to dry. THis is truly the worst product on the market - and the VERY WORST customer service i've ever encountered on ANYTHING....more info - BAP 1300 - Don't Buy It
 After waiting too long for Amazon to take this unit into stock I finally cancelled my order as we were well past the start of allergy season. I therefore purchased from Bed, Bath & Beyond... anyway, it didn't matter as for the results. My first unit I tried the digital filter usage display stopped displaying some of the digits and I could therefore not make out the true reading. So I ordered a replacement, this 2nd unit didn't work upon arrival. The LCD power came on... but the fan motor inside did not work. I'm really surprised Bionaire would have such poor product quality as to allow these types of problems to go out the door!

 I ordered this product around Jan/Feb 2005 from AMAZON. It has not been shipped yet. It is delayed to Jun17. I am not sure I can get it at that time. Amazon may delay for another one, two or more months....more info - Horrible quality control...they simply stop working.
 Here's the letter that I sent to Bionaire...I've yet to receive any "satisfaction" (i.e., my money back or a unit that works).
"Where to begin.... I originally purchased a Bionaire BAP1175 unit from Amazon.com. The unit worked but I could not get it to reliably go into the Sleep setting. After several weeks I decided to return the unit and get a replacement. You sent out the second unit, and that unit worked great...for two days, after which it completely died, and hasn't worked since, and this, after having waited for nearly a month for the replacement. I decided to be restrained when I called, and spoke with a very nice customer service rep., who agreed to send me out a replacement, 2nd day air. The replacement was a BAP1300. This unit worked fine, for one day as well, and now won't turn on. I believe that there must be a fundamental flaw in the design of these units. I am sending this letter as a last attempt at receiving some satisfaction. If I don't reach a satisfactory resolution I will feel compelled to search out every consumer review site on the Web, and post my negative opinion of Bionaire and your air filter products. It's a FAN for goodness sake!! I have to say I'm suprised I've had this much trouble. The unit itself seems quite sturdy, it just simply doesn't work."
Stay away from this product, if you don't want to experience endless frustration....more info - Strung out by Amazon
 I can't comment on the quality of this product since my order was never filled by Amazon. I ordered the item on Dec 8 when the claimed delivery was 5-7 days. When I came back just before Christmas to check status, expected delivery had changed to "Jan 13 - Jan 31". Then today (Jan 26), Amazon sent me an email asking me to confirm a new delivery of "Feb 28 - Mar 18". This was to be a Christmas present in 2004 not 2005! Amazon has a lot of nerve waiting until the last five days before notifying me of another delay of up to a month and a half! Is Amazon that far out in left field with respect to their suppliers? Does Amazon really think this is the way to grow a business? Doesn't Amazon realize that they are not the only distributor out there? Consider an order through Amazon carefully!...more info
