Bonaire MB5

Problems from day one. Installation and unit issues from day one. Installer condescending! Service terrible. I gave up after nothing but problems for 2years.
Every winter it’s frustrating.
Tonight is apparently 29 degrees in the house apparently!!!! ( we are sitting with blankets and jumpers on) To get the remote to change temperature we have to place outside for the unit to come back on.
Paid extra for dampers/ zoning have never worked. !!!
Absolutely terrible.
Will never recommend a Bonaire.

I bought the 5 star ducted gas central heater on the 3rd April, 2012. It always stopped without any reason. I have to turn off the heater for one day, give it a rest; then turn it on again to get the Heater going. It is not the ideal Heater. Also, every year I have to hire a Technician for service; otherwise, the Heater just does not work.

It warms well enough for its age. Have had no trouble I. All the years we have used it. Cannot fault it or the cost originally. Good overall heating unit have used Bonaire products in the past and will still do so. . . . . . . . . . .. . .

Was installed and not tested by installer. Went to use did not work. Was not working from the day of installation. AGL would not replace the unit but got a serviceman to repair. A faulty component was replaced. Will see what happens when we go to use hopefully it goes ok. In my opinion we were over charged for this heater by AGL so pays to look around for a good price. I believe installation was very poor and it should have been checked before they left. Not happy at all.

Broken down four times in t...

I've had this ducted heater for two years, and have had no problems with it so far.

The zoning works very well.

The only criticism I have is the outside unit is too noisy. The noise comes from the flue, it seems to be designed to make the noise, like a whistling kettle. Unnecessary.

Update..............

The heater stopped working recently. It took a week for a repairman to attend, peak winter period so probably understandable. The unit was still under warranty so no cost to repair.
