I guess you get what you pay for...but I just wanted the ambience of a "flame" in my living room. The heat is a bonus. I was replacing a previous electric fireplace. The flame "effect" has already stopped working, and I've only had it for about a month or so. If I "bang" on the back of it, the flame tries to work, but makes a grinding noise and quits again. My advice is to spend more money and get something a bit better than this.

I purchased this item on Sunday afternoon and it arrived via UPS ground this morning (Wed). I noticed instantly that the unit does not resemble the online or box photo. The handle is very shiny brass and the front door is shiny plastic (like a child's cheap toy#. The rest of the unit is made of thin, shiny metal #again, like a child's toy#. The legs are platic. It took about ten minutes to remove from the box and screw in the legs. It turned on instantly and has been running since #for about two hours). It makes more noise than I had anticipated but it's not overpowering. I am rating this four stars because I have no previous experience with electric fireplaces and I am not sure how what I have described compares with other units. If you are looking for an affordable, small, ambient, supplemental heat source that looks nice from across the room then buy this unit. If you are looking for something substantial or authentic, you will be disappointed.

This small stove looks nice, but is very cheaply built. When you open the front door, the plastic bends almost to the point of breaking just to overcome the magnet that holds it shut. The fan is very noisy sometimes, other times it's quiet. The bearings act like they were going out from day one. The flames work.....sometimes. If they don't move, bang the sides and they usually take off. I should have sent this back, but it really wasn't worth the effort after assembling it.

This stove has a great flame and has a more rustic style than other stoves we looked at. It is a excellent heater for a smaller room or apartment.

I just received my new stove today. I love this thing! It is a great size and the "flames" are more realistic than I thought they'd be. The glowing embers/logs also look very good. You could never mistake the burning effect for a real fire, but it looks much nicer than I ever thought it would and it provides great ambiance.

The heater also works very well. The best surprise of all is how quiet it is. You can hear the heater when it is on, but it is far from intrusive. It is completely quiet when the heater is not turned on.

When I first turned the unit on the flame effect was quite noisy. I tightened some screws that obviously loosened during shipping. Now it is as quiet as a church mouse.

You should be aware, however, that the stove doesn't look matte black like in the pictures. It is a gloss black, and the the handle is shiny brass. I like it better this way, though. It resembles one of those beautiful enamel wood stoves.

All in all, this was a great purchase. If you are on the fence I wouldn't hesitate, Amazon has a great return policy if you don't like it.
