Doesnt keep my small living room warm enough. Our temperatures in Fort Worth, TX dipped to 19 degrees.
This heater could not keep up. It stayed 55 in my living room once the temperature dipped to 19 and stayed freezing for 2 days. My DURAFLAM worked better last year during the ice storm we had. I gave it to a friend because I thought the new one would be better..but it wasnt.
Quick setup. The heat output is good, but kind of wished we could direct it downward a bit. Super cute. And my 3 year old loves the high flame setting. Nice cozy addition.
The ambience of this heater is delightful and gives a cozy feeling. The only assembly was the feet on the heater which was very easy to do. It has 5 flame settings. You can set the heat anywhere from 62 to 82. You can set it to go off automatically after 30 minutes up to 9 hrs. Heat output is not strong, and takes a little while to heat the room. The remote does not have back buttons for any of the settings, so when using them (heat, flame, hours for automatic shut off), you have to run through the entire settings and back to 0. Ex: if you set the flame on 2 and then decide you want it on1, you have to run through 3, 4, 5, 0, then to 1. Overall, its a nice heater and I would purchase another.
Overall I like this stove. The shell is all metal which was a nice surprise. The feet are sturdy plastic and I have no worry of them breaking. Youll want a philips screwdriver thats at least 6 inches long to install them. I like that this version of the stove (which seems to be sold by several different companies on ) has no branding on the front. It looks classy all black. I like that the buttons to adjust settings are enclosed behind the glass of the stove door, as its a good safety feature to prevent the heater from being turned on by children. The heater is quite powerful and uses a tube heating element.
The flame effect is surprisingly good. The flames appear and disappear in a realistic way, and if its a repeating pattern I cant tell. They seem random. The only thing I dont like about the flames is they are very dim. In the attached photo and video you can see the stove brightness as compared to a candle. A single candle gives off significantly more light than the stove. The photos and video are of the flames at their highest brightness setting. Most nightlights are brighter than this stove. Its still pleasant to look at, but the realism would be greatly improved with 2-3x the brightness.
Pro tip: a woodwick candle gives a nice crackling sound to make the fire more convincing.
The package came in a day early and that was pleasantly surprising. Everything in the products description is exact. We love our little faux stovetop fireplace, it heats up our two car garage nicely (husbands mancave). Top/bottom, front/back and sides are cool to the touch even on high (82 degrees). Low whir of the fan that is hardly noticeable. So far we love it and any issues I will be sure to update my post.

Heats well
Easy to assemble
It really is cool to the touch everywhere except when the heat comes out.
I love it. I just enclosed my deck and need it for out there this winter.
It really has a nice warm glow.
I love that it comes with a remote to control the great features. The blower is pretty quiet and it puts out a really nice warm heat.
Great flame effect, but not bright enough
