BioLite Avaliações 

⁸I have a SolarHome 620+. It stopped working. I requested help from Biolite, who provided plenty of information but just not enough to enable me to troubleshoot whether the solar panels or the machine was broken. This is either due, I think, to the customer service person not engaged enough to bother to find out, or to company policy to keep this useful information unavailable. Maybe to protect their USP.

As this company claims to provide help to people in poor countries, this attitude will mean that those unfortunate enough to be provided with these items will not be supported by Biolite, but will be prey to other people whose scruples don't extend to helping, but will be more than happy to exploit these vulnerable users of Biolite products. It's sad, but this attitude of unhelpfulness to the less fortunate has become more prevalent of late.

I will just have to throw away my SolarHome 620+. A waste of the earth's resources, but without data from Biolite I can't begin to repair it.

It would be better if Biolite supplied information sufficient to enable users with dodgy Biolite equipment enough information for them to diagnose the problem. Particularly those who do not live the the US where they can get other Biolite equipment to help.

Update: Biolite is replacing the unit as a result of further discussion.

Received a FirePit+ for Christmas. Upon opening, I found one of the bottom rack legs had broken off the rack. Used their website request form for assistance. The next day, they responded to my request and were immediately sending me out a new bottom rack. Amazing customer support response.

I have been a customer of BioLite for several years. It all started with a camping garland. We bought one set and we liked it so much that all our friends bought them too. How wonderful that the manufacturer made it possible to connect them together! Then I used their power bank and solar panel, my friends bought a stove and were also very satisfied. Recently I bought their largest power bank for traveling in Ukraine and did not check it in the store and went to Poland. It turned out that it was defective because it did not work. Unfortunately, I could not return to Ukraine because of the war and wrote about this problem to the manufacturer. BioLite responded quickly, they answer in less than a day and said that they would send me a new one to Poland without any problems. This is the best warranty experience I have ever had. This is a company with a capital letter and I will be with them for many more years. I recommend it to everyone!

The battery of my Dash 425 headlamp lost the ability to recharge after about 18 months. An awesome BioLite customer service human had me test the battery in a systematic manner. After confirming that the battery was not working properly he was able to get an out-of-warranty-exception for my headlamp and it is being replaced free of charge. I am grateful.

I received a solar light that did not function. I got ahold of Biolite and they replaced the light. I greatly appreciated the service and conversing with an actual human.

Scammers. Do not order from this company. I purchased a goal zero yeti 300. I never received it, it has been a couple of weeks, they never sent any tracking information and the company is telling me that they can send me a return label to return the item the didn’t send me? What an absolute scam. I reached out to Goal Zero to let them know this is not a trustworthy company.

Received a lemon product from these guys (its rare but happens). I wrote to CS and, within 48 hours had a solution. I was working a real human (not some AI bot) who cared, was polite and understanding. I've used biolite products for a very long time and was so pleased to have a solid CS experience with their team. If management reads this, please make sure the people who assisted me are recognized and rewarded. These are the types of employees that create brand loyalty and trust. Thanks to Lala and Naomi for being great!

Bought the biolite 2 from Altitude sports. Delivered in less than a week. Suits my needs. Will be getting the fire pit this summer! Good buy for the cost!

I purchased the BioLite 500 range I liked it so much that I ended up going back to purchase another for a gift. It also included a free Luci candle. I failed to include the Luci candle so I had to contact customer service. I dealt with La- ny (sp). She was exceptional She was able to cancel my order and then had me place another one to include the candle so I will be able to get what I wanted.

UPDATE:
December 27 2025

Well BioLite took my complaint seriously and resolved my issue.

I haven’t had a chance to try out the resolution yet but I trust that it will work properly.

Thank you very much for taking my complaint seriously and resolving the issue BioLite. Although much later than I required I’m really impressed that BioLite followed through and resolved my issue without unnecessary costs to me.

Thank you very much BioLite

My ORIGINAL review Nov 25 2025:

BioLite products are good but VERY expensive. I own a number of their products but this review is about their fire pit.

Their customer service is the worst I’ve ever experienced.

For the money you pay Customer Service should be excellent. It is certainly not - it is awful.

I spent almost $800 US for a Biolite fire pit. It worked great until the fan and battery stopped working.

I reached out to BioLite asking to buy a replacement and all I’ve received is a runaround.

First I was told I had to wait three months for the fire pit’s fan to be available – and today, I was told I have to wait three MORE months! Six months!?!? Ridiculous.

I asked BioLite to take a fan and battery pack out of an existing fire pit and send it to me. I was willing to pay for it.They refused.

“ We’re not able to break down or disassemble new inventory to fulfill individual replacement part requests.….”

So it’s OK to take my money to buy a piece of equipment but when something needs to be replaced (which I’m willing to pay for) BioLite turns their back.

BioLite has no way to provide customer support and no inventory to provide customer support either. It’s ridiculous that I’m forced to wait SIX months for replacement part.

To add insult to injury, I was told to go ahead and use the fire pit anyway. I was offended. This is just like digging a hole in the ground and lighting a fire - there’s no difference. The beauty behind the fire pit is the battery powered fan.

Do yourself a huge favour and don’t waste your money at BioLite unless you’re sure you’re never going to need any support from BioLite. Once they have your money they do not care about customers.

I regret buying any BioLite products. Support is just as important as the item you buy. I wish I had known. Now you know.

Buyer be ware.

Follow through, knowledge,

New, Light Not Charging
Agent (BioLite Customer Support) not helping.
I was given a BioLite Solar Rechargeable Luci String Light for part of gift package from my co-workers ( retirement gift )
Retirement is great.
Broke out the Luci String Light, it was new, box sealed. It had the charging cable inside, and the top solar charger. Plugged it in, will not charge, tried multiple different chargers, including direct to wall with adaptor. No charging, no little lights. Over 24 hrs.
Tried Solar, no charging.
Sent message to BioLite, as you can not call them. No phone support, only email messages. Got a message back from
Agent (BioLite Customer Support) in PI.
She gave me information on re-booting, already tried that, then she suggested I go back to my office ( where I retired from and got the great gift package goodies ) and ask the group for store receipt. Yup, go back and ask gift givers for receipt for gift I got in Sept 2025. This light is new, I broke the seal on box. BioLite will not help. Do not buy. Oh, and that internal battery is not replaceable. Yes darlings it has a battery. What kind of environmental light is this? Oh, forgot to add this will work ( light turn on ) but you have to have it plugged into charging source, wall outlet, etc.

I received my first Biolite product as a gift. Worst customer service ever! The fan on my firepit will not pair via Bluetooth. After 1+ months of "troubleshooting" and jumping through hoops via emails, they constantly blame my phone (which is a very new Samsung), and won't take any accountability for their poor product.
They also will not send another fan for me to try. I will never buy any of their products, and will tell my friends and family to do the same.

Great product, needed to replace a part, I was worried that it may not be available but it was! I've been a Biolite customer since the begining and love all the products that I've purchased over the years. However, the great products are only as good as the the company's willingness to stand behind them and that's where customer service comes in. All three times I've need to contact Biolite the customers service has been spot on and think it has gotten even better each time so for that they get 5 starts! Quick response and helpful to take care of my situation. Thanks Naomi!

Bought a Biolite Dash 450 head torch from Go Outdoors for a camping trip a year ago. Used it once, then put it away in my storage cupboard. Got it out today in prep for a trip and it no longer charges. Basically paid a sizeable amount for a head torch that got one weeks use. Gone in the bin as warranty is now out of date. Won’t buy from these cowboys again, back to the trusty Petzl.

Excellent response from Biolite support following my head torch developing a fault where it simply switched off unexpectedly, despite having plenty of power available, and would not switch on again. It was just out of warranty but they made an exception and sent me a new upgraded unit. Great customer service!

I had a problem with my Biolite headlamp 800 Pro. When I spoke to the customer service about it. The needed some info and after that they replaced the entire headlamp.

I had a great experience with the Biolite support team, the representative that worked with me was amazing. I had issues with my AlpenGlow 250, a light I really enjoy, and I reached out to the service team to see if there was a trouble shooting option to remedy the issues. They were very responsive as we trouble shot the issue through sending videos, addressing use scenarios, and giving temperature ranges to try find the issue. They ended up sending a new light to me as we came to the conclusion that it was a faulty light.
This was the best customer support experience I've had.

Had an issue with my BioLite Campstove 2 so raised this to support. Although my warranty had ended, customer support went the extra mile and arranged for a new unit to be sent to my address anyway.

Top class customer service

Great service. Fast responses and delivery.
I love the products too!
