The Best Time To Buy This Popular Micathermic Heater Is During A Heatwave

Screen shot from Amazon on July 26, 2013

If you had your heart set on the Bionaire BH3950-U Silent Micathermic Console Heater last winter but couldn't justify the price, now is the time to buy. This particular heater, because of its popularity and high demand, is subject to daily, and sometimes hourly, price swings during the heating season.

During the height of the heating season I've seen this heater priced anywhere from $189 to $300 - which is ridiculous. Especially when you can buy one now from Amazon now for around $83 (plus shipping). This is the lowest price you'll see for this heater at any time during the year. Note: I've also seen this heater sold by a different vendor on Amazon (Connect Buy) for $100, but the shipping is free, so the final price works out the same.

I also did a quick price check today at couple of other outlets. Sears wants $127 + shipping and Ebay has one listed for $117 + shipping.

Why is this heater so popular?
The two main reasons this heater is so popular is its quiet operation owing to the fact it has no fan. Secondly, according to actual owners of this heater, it will easily heat 200 square feet; which is 50 square feet more than most space heaters - with or without a fan.
