Très joli. Chauffe bien.

It replaces an old gas log set. It’s beautiful and looks so realistic. I could not be happier. I haven’t tried the heater yet because it has been too warm. Love the remote that comes with it. I did take out the 3 year extended warranty just in case and it was only $32.00 extra.

I love it! It looks like realistic logs during the day. And in the evening the glowing embers and flame effect look very realistic and amazing. I’m do agree with others that the crackling sound is not realistic so we don’t turn it on. The other thing we did was place a small metal can (altoids can) under the back side to lean it forward a little, so the flames shoot higher. That is a personal preference though.

Although the unit worked as it should because it sits on the floor and it’s meant to go on a fireplace, the heat does not rise efficiently. The other thing it comes with slight hints of gold around the fake looking great. Grate.

What an excellent and affordable option! We've often considered adding a gas insert system to our fireplace (mostly for the ambiance) but between the cost of the insert and installation (not to mention the natural gas cost to run it) we just couldn't justify the expense. This unit exceeded my expectations. With a simple extension cord (fed down the clean out and plugged in down in the basement,) we now have the cozy feel of a fire without the expense. And although we don't really plan to use the heat option very much, it came in handy on Halloween and certainly is a nice option. This unit will be perfect for the long fall and winter nights, now that we've set our clocks back.
