I have a house that wasn’t designed for year round habitation. there is a fireplace it is not very useful. placing this in it makes it useful Works better than our electric baseboard heaters and a mixer room have a cheery glowThe heater fan could be better but overall it works as advertisedWe were looking for full size inserts when we came across this. It is better than I could have hoped for. Easy to install, easy to use, brightened and warmed up the living room. If I needed another I would buy it immediately.I love my fireplace. Its warmth & life like flames really do create a nice cozy fire.What a great surprise. We bought this because of the great reviews it got and it looks great and fits great. We LOVE it,Absolutely fantastic for our closed off fireplace!!! Looks so realistic!!! Light weight and seems like quality construction! Love it!Works great, looks great! Outlet is on the right side of the unit. Control is a little hard to useI really like the life like logs. They look like real burning logs. I use it in a 3rd bedroom
