I love this heater. It puts out however much heat you need and the thermostat keeps the room at an even temp. The “fire” looks so real that the daughter of my friend kept insisting it must be a real fire! Also love that the heat unit and the visual fire are separate so even when you dont need the heat, you can feel cozy. That’s a big plus in a humid southern area when it should be cold but isn’t! Another plus is that the unit doesnt get hot to the touch. I bought another for my niece for Christmas. The price is great for the quality as well. Highly recommend!
