The fireplace works fine in it’s most important aspect: generating heat. It has a stylish, very contemporary design. The glass front is thick and smooth and you don’t need to worry about cracking it. The blue backlit display turns off after a few seconds which is nice.

Great remote that supports all functions. There are a few annoyances that were weighing too heavily for us and made me return it, though: First, since the electric heater is only a few inches deep and it is either wall-mounted or on the stand there is no easy way to hide the cord, which really spoils the appearance. The fan is a little noisy and keeps on running even when the heat is turned off, probably to cool the two lamps and to generate the light effect. The “crackling wood” sound effect sounds hollow and thin but can thankfully be turned off.

Even though it doesn’t look like a traditional fireplace, I still like it. It fits just about anywhere without taking up a lot of space. I don’t like that it doesn’t have life like flames; it’s just a glowing, moving background. I bought it mainly because it has a REMOTE CONTROL!!! That is a wonderful feature! It has three stages of glowing brightness, which is great. I don’t like the sound that is supposed to be crackling wood, but when I lower the sound, it sounds better and more like a crackling fireplace

It’s easy enough to carry up to the bedroom, den, basement, wherever you want to put it. Just plug it into any outlet; but because it’s 1500 wats,you mustn’t have anything else plugged into the same socket outlet. I would recommend it to anyone this fireplace electric heater from Bionaire, especialy but the price, about $180 for your pleasure and heat.
