I guess I should have learned by now that you get what you pay for. I should not have expected much from this unit. Sometimes you can get a great deal and save a lot. Not in this case.The box arrived really damaged. I honestly don't know how the item itself was not damaged. Among the other less severe damages, there was a hole all the way through the box on one side.
Once we got it installed, I would say "cute" is the best way to describe its appearance. I realize most electric fireplaces don't look like the real thing, but they have gotten much more realistic in the last few years. This one looks more like they did when they first came out, more like a toy than most late model electric fireplaces. We turned the heat on high to see what the heat factor might be on the wall behind it (it's wood). After a few minutes it did get a little warmer. But, I don't think it will do much for the room it's in. Maybe we will be pleasantly surprised but I am not expecting much there. The heater blows from the the top, just fyi.
It started out relatively quiet, but after running for about 15 minutes you could hear the "squirrel cage" inside the unit. Something is a little out of balance I suspect. It's not horrible, but definately noticeable.
The unit I am comparing this one to is a wall mount dimplex. The dimplex costs 3-4 times as much but the quality difference shows. I have seen other units that would compare favorably to the dimplex but they were all much more expensive than this unit.
If you get this unit, be aware it is cheap for a reason.
