Beautiful, and works well for my small basement room. I am really only using this in addition to our central heat, though. So, I haven't even really tried the high heat mode, other than to just turn it on, and make sure it works.Since my room is in the basement, it can get down right frigid, even though it does have a central heating vent. Of course, it's not surprising, since the rest of the basement around my room is completely unfinished, and not connected to the heat.The flames have been on all night, every night, whether I have the heat on that long, or not. And I have run the low heat all night, a few nights. But most of the time, I just run the heater part for a couple of hours, before going to sleep. And, of course, I shut everything down before going to work.It runs almost completely silent, with just the flame effect on. And, other than the minimal noise required for the blower, it's super quiet with the heaters, too.What I love most, is that the top and outer sides don't get hot. So, if I brush by it too closely, or my cat hops up on it, we don't get burned. My room isn't any bigger than an average bedroom, so that is important. And it has just enough clearance beneath it, that the carpet doesn't get hot, either. I was pretty paranoid about that the first day, so I kept checking it about every 30 min for the first couple of hours, then every hour for the next couple. The area of the unit around the heater, itself, got pretty warm (so, don't let anything touch the bottom of that directly!) But the carpet really never seemed to change temp, much.Wish I could take a better pic of what it looks like 'burning'. It's beautiful. And really nice not to have to worry about smoke and embers. Haha. And since I have a Japanese style bed on the floor, it's the perfect height to lay here and enjoy it. Can't wait until my boyfriend comes back home, so we can snuggle in front of it. ;-)Since this was almost $200 I did purchase the square trade warranty with it, just in case there are any issues with this unit in the future. But, hopefully, it'll keep running just like this. :-)

It is cute and looks very much like a metal wood stove although it is not completely so. I put it inside my fireplace where it looks even more authentic. I have it in a small room and if I shut the door it heats it up pretty well. I don't think it would work too well in an open space. The fan is pretty quiet and the flames and coals are quite lovely. All in all a good buy for the price. And great service from this company.

Lightweight, portable and heats my basement family room 12'x20' just perfectly! Putting the legs on was as easy as could be, you just need a Philips screwdriver. For the price this is the best looking and best heating electric fireplace that I have found! I like it that you can adjust the flames independently from the heat. The little doors open and close to hide the electric controls. I have an old house (with old wiring) and was worried, as some of the bigger stoves of this kind will blow fuses. But this one does not! I can have the TV, DVD player and this handy stove going with no problems at all.

Beautiful and compact, this little heater brings warmth and comfort with ease. The fan is quiet and the flames are very realistic. My only complaint was the interior of the fireplace doors are very easily distinguished as plastic. Other than that, I'm in love!!

What a gem! Heats very well for its size and is as cute and cozy as a bug in a rug! Came very well packaged and was easy to put the legs on (all the 'putting together' you need to do). The black part of the doors are made of pretty weak feeling plastic which is the only reason I gave this 4 stars...but I'd buy it again in a heart beat.

Looks good in living room, Especially in low light. The flickering flames effect not bad. Makes the home feel a lot warmer.

Really heats up the room. And you can put on low or high depending on the size of the room. Attractive and easy to move where you need it.

I absolutely love this electric fireplace! It is adorable, east to assemble (just screw 4 legs on), and warms up my place perfectly.It creates ambiance that is perfect for any time of the day.It is a great addition to my furnace, which doesn't have to run as much when I have the fireplace on.I will most likely purchase another one for my upstairs.

Very nice looking, but it came broken. The heater only worked on high heat. The temp controls did not work at all. Only the low setting turned on and it only produced very high heat. The high setting did not go on. I did not even ask for an exchange. This type of item should be quality controlled.
