First I want to point out the excellent packaging of this item (something that I never bother to review). I dont remember when was the last time Ive seen a product packaged so well. Great padding all around the fireplace made sure that it was in pristine condition. If only all products are packaged this well!
As for the fireplace itself, I was surprised by how light it is when I pulled it out of the box. That made me question if it produces enough heat. I set up in our bathroom. We have an open shower that is all tiled, so it gets really cold, especially during the winter. I had the heater pointed straight at the shower and it definitely warmed up the shower area. By the time I finished the shower, I was able to take my time to dry myself (something that used to be a rush job because of the cold).
I also tried pointing it at our bathtub and it worked well too. Turing the fireplace around to face the bathtub was easy because it is so light. It used to be freezing when I got out of the tub, but now I can sit and dry myself without catching a cold!
The look of the fireplace is also nicer than I expected (thou that was not why I got it). The remote control works great and Im really glad that it came with one. All in all, Id say this little fireplace exceeded my expectations.
Pleasant surprise!
