I bought this last week with the intention of only using it when guests came over. Well that went out the window as soon as I got it home. It's so warm! It really takes the cold bite out of the australian winter air.
It warms the living room up much faster than the TWO fan heaters we were running put together. The flame certainly doesn't dissapoint. If anything the videos don't do it justice. At full blast the flames are bright yellow and climb up about 30-50cm from the base (you can turn it down as you please). Plenty enough to light the room and put on a good show.
At the moment the only complaint is trying to figure out the ''scent channel'' feature. Basically under the slider cover they've knocked a big dent in the metal where you can drip in some girly scented oils etc.
The problem? If you leave the dent uncovered the oils instantly catch fire, if you cover it they don't evaporate properly and you end up with a burnt brown mess under the cover when you slide it back. I've emailed the company, I'll let you all know what they say.
Still giving it five stars for performing better than imagined in every other respect. Can't believe there isn't one of these in every home.
If you'd seen it work, you'd want one.I purchased this about a month ago and have been using it almost daily ever since. The winters here in South Florida don't last much longer than this month so I'm using it while I can. It burns clean with no soot,smoke, or odors and can heat a medium size room several degrees in a fairly short period of time. The fireplace is well built and very heavy and has inside the burner a ceramic cloth that controls the usual flareup when you first light it. The liquid ethanol fuel (unlike alcohol gel fuel) lasts forever in storage and is easy to store since it stores at any temperature. The flames are bright yellow and quite lively which again is much better than gel fuel fireplaces. Overall the unit is high quality, thick, stainless steel and I think well worth the money.
