The heater stopped working within the first year under warrenty. The company made me take the unit apart, not an easy process, and mail back one of the components at my expense ($35.00 in shipping). Received the part back supposedly repaired a few weeks later and had to put everything back together again, which was again very difficult to assemble. Product then overheated and melted 3 electric outlets, all of which had to be replaced. You could feel the heat in the wall around the outlet. Lucky it didn't start an electrical fire and burn the place down. Then got rid of it. No response from Sunheat about this.

I own a gift store in the high sierra mountains and needed a heater for the store floor. This heater does a great job. It has a good heat throw without being overly hot and I can't tell a difference on my electric bill for the store. I'm buying 2 more. The price of the heaters will be cheaper than one month's natural gas bill. Good buy and great product!

I have owned this fireplace for about a month and it has been fabulous. The Symphony flame effect is the best I've ever seen and I've owned 3 others, though not in this price range. The Timothy came disassembled in a large box. It was packed well and there was no shipping damage. However, I found several of the assembly screws rolling around inside the shipping crate. Thankfully, I was able to find all of them. The high quality of the wood and finish was evident upon opening the box. I quickly unpacked it and began assembly. The instructions were fairly basic and probably aren't required to assemble the fireplace as there are only about 10 parts to the fireplace. The firebox simply slides into place and is not really attached to the wood mantel. I assume this eases filter replacement. This is an excellent fireplace. The only noteworthy complaints are: (1.) The simulated firestarting mode (where the fireplae can slowly build and extinguish) does not work (not really a problem for me as I don't mind it turning instantly on or off). However, as this is an advertised feature and described within the operating manual, it is worthy to note. (2.) The sliding firebox will likely end up scratching the wood on the bottom of the fireplace over time so I consider that a design flaw. (3.) there was a small but noticeable gap between two pieces of the mantel. It isn't large but large enough that light could be easily seen streaming through. I fixed that with a 2 foot long piece of electrical tape applied to the inside/rear of the mantel.

Cheap Nordic Pure 20x24x4M12-1 MERV12 AC Furnace Air Filter, Box of 1

Understand that when you receive your box, the filter itself will be unwrapped and will not have any identification on it. If your box arrives unsealed (and 2 of my boxes have) you may suspect a scam when the outside package is genuine, and an unscrupulous reseller has replaced the contents with junk.

Nordic says that they don't print the Nordic name on their product to save money. They do print the size and air flow direction, so adding their name won't change their cost. At best, it allows them to manufacture for bulk sale to other companies. Wonder who is reselling re-branded Nordic filters, and do they cost less???

Printing an ID on the filter...

1) Adds marketing push to the Nordic brand,

2) Assures the consumer they've received the quality they think they are purchasing, and

3) Puts the Nordic name in front of the consumer when filter replacement time comes.

I can't assure you that I received a MERV 12 filter, but it does resist airflow more than the MERV 8 filter I replaced does. This could just be thicker filter material or reduced surface area, not better material that will stop more and smaller particles. Nordic, despite the product picture, doesn't identify the filter as even Nordic, let alone MERV 12. {Minus 1 star.}

PS: Other vendors such as Honeywell have upgraded their standard filter MERV rating. If I re-order the part number on Honeywell sticker on my furnace, I will now get a MERV 11 instead of the old MERV 8, and pay the lower MERV 8 price. {Minus 1/2 star.}

PPS: What Nordic calls a 4" filter is actually 3 1/2 inches thick. Other vendors 4" filters are actually 4 3/8 inches thick. Measure your old one, and read the manufacture's dimensions CAREFULLY. {Minus 1/2 star.}

These filters appear to be doing a good job. We're seeing less dust around the house which is great.

One comment once I got the filter out of the box there wasn't any info on the filter itself documenting the MERV level, and in fact the shipping box was somewhat unclear as to whether I had received a MERV 12 or MERV 13 filter. To Nordic's credit they answered the phone, talked to me about the product and how they make it, and I was convinced I made a good purchase.

I will certainly look to Nordic Pure as my go to filter in the future. Very nice company, good product, good price.

I wish I could give this a better rating. The 'jaws' clamp down on the ese pods and make a great cup of espresso. The large water storage unit is clean and a great idea. the only problem was that after approximately 80 cups the pump burned out and the warranty service is in Italy.

I have had this machine for 4 months now and I've used it to demo coffee pods that I sell in multiple small businesses around the area I live in.

It has gone through 2 boxes of 200 pods each (so 400 pods) and it has never had a problem. I just like the way it really clamps down on the pods forcing ALL the water and pressure trough the coffee and not out on the sides. It works great for me and the fact that I can just pop in water bottles in the "tank" is just great and avoids a whole lot of mess and spills.

Compared to other machines I've had it just performs better. And I am not sure about after sales assistance, but my guess is that getting in touch with whom it was purchased for should get the help needed, or alternatively, it's not exactly a space rocket, any decent repair shop should be able to fix it.

Be aware that the user must rig a water reservoir for this machine, oddly the design includes only a holding chamber for which user must insert a water bottle or similar improvisation, then run tubes into it. I used liter bottle of water, works fine. Instructions are Italian badly translated English so close attention required. For example user who is baffled by the instructions will pour water into what appears to be reservoir, only to find it runs immediately onto the counter. I had to return the first product I received due to careless packaging but eventually got everything working. Makes great espresso.

This surver was better then I exspected. I ordered two and surved 25 for christmas dinner. They kept the food hot all afternoon no one had to have cold food.The 2.5 quart pans are pefect if you need to feed a large group and clean up is a breeze .

We have had ours two months and have used it three times for entertaining guests in our party room. Works as expected. Keeps food very warm to hot, but not so much as to dry them out. We've used for chicken wings, toasted ravoli's, pizza rolls, meatballs, bacon wraped lil' smokies, and more. Worked perfect for these. No reason to think it will not work well for other items. Easy clean up.

We find that the product base is make of very light materials that flex when you move it. The frame surrounding the serving pans is very light material too. Pans are good. Lids are light could easily chip or crack? We worry about durability. I suppose we could have got better if we spent more. For this reason we took away one star from an otherwise great working product.

As you look at other servers be aware that some of them are much smaller although they might not look like it in the photos. Instead of getting one of the ones that were on sale for $30 everywhere at Christmas, we paid a bit more for this one as the servering pans were twice as big. Can be used as a hot plate also.

Edit 10-2013: Used 20 times over the past year and a half. Still in excellent condition. Lids turned out to be just fine. Great product.

I spent hours searching for the right buffet server and the Oster did not disappoint! The much larger trays will fit all the food you need for entertaining, you won't be hurting for space with this model. I had food out for my son's birthday for over 5 hours and everything stayed warm. I used it a few days later for a build your own fajita party outside and no problems keeping food warm on a table outside. It's a large piece but with it's size you won't be hurting for room to serve all your food at once. I'm glad I bought this and plan to put it to good use over the holidays. No more lukewarm meals!

No more juggling side dishes in and out of oven trying to make sure everything is warm. No runs to microwave to heat a plate.

I tried putting food in from fridge and after about 2 hours was luke warm so I put the sides in the oven to heat them up then transferred them into the buffet server and put on high.

Kept everything warm, burnt dressing a little on bottom so I would say leave on low if you have already heated your sides.

Did not give it 5 stars because there was no opening in the top for serving spoons.

Krups has done a great job with this tea kettle! This item makes a perfect cup of tea! I was not so sure about purchasing it since it is a new item and hadn't been reviewed before. It arrived in just two days and I used it immediately. It is very simple to use. So simple that you wonder why it cost $100. But really, that's a good thing. You are definitely paying for the quality and it is very well constructed. I wasn't sure if the infuser basket was glass or plastic. Turned out it is plastic. The directions talked about a plastic taste that you may experience at first use, but I heated and disposed of two kettles of water with the infuser lowered prior to actually brewing tea and I experienced no plastic taste at all. I would hope that Krups would have made the infuser BPA free, but I can't find any evidence either way. The water heats quickly and the multi-temperature function is great for brewing various types of teas. Also, once you brew, the pour spout has a fine mesh screen that will prevent any loose tea debris from escaping into your tea cup. I brew a lot of rooibos tea which is very fine and some of the tea does escape the infuser. The other good thing is that it has a double infuser (a basket that the actual infuser sits in) which allows you to place other items that can use a longer brewing time into the basket prior to lowering the tea infuser. For me, I like to add a little fresh ginger into the basket. Clean up is very easy as well. Only thing is, I would have loved to see some intermediate measurements on the carafe in addition to the max fill line. All in all I've been enjoying this product and would definitely recommend it. It's all a tea lover would ever need to brew a great cup of tea!

I emailed Krups and they said that the plastic infuser for this product is BPA free, but i do wish it was glass or metal instead.

Works great.. only thing that could make it better is a noise to let you know its done heating up.

The Breville model similar to this one has a feature where you can heat in 5 deg increments and a timer to start boiling water for people who want their tea before work etc...and i believe this informs you when its done heating.. but for $230 for the Breville model the Krups is a cheaper alternative.

The tea kettle works great. I don't use the infuser, though i tried it once and it worked fine. i use it as a water heater with different heat settings.

Now for the reason it is not a five star.

the heat settings listed don't match my 2 test thermometers. I wanted a 165 setting that the product doesn't have.

I found that mine actually has one, because all the settings except boil are about 10 degrees lower than the listed temperature, so if i want 165 degree, i set it at 175 and so on.

so, for me it works, just, if you get this product check the temperatures.

Just so you know, i purchased this about a week ago. I do use it about 4 or 5 times a day

april first 2013 and still working well

Honest reviews on KRUPS FL700D50 Electric Kettle with Incorporated Tea Infuser

Pros:

Very attractive and functional kettle. I especially like the hold temperature setting that keeps the water at the selected temp for an hour great for grabbing that last-minute coffee before heading out the door in the morning. The glass kettle is sturdy and the spout pours well.

Cons:

The base unit quit working after less than six months. Luckily I had registered the product with Krups and they were able to look up my purchase and issue an RMA over the phone without a receipt. They also sent me a pre-paid shipping label to send the kettle to a local authorized repair station. I'm sending it out today for repair/replacement. Hopefully this malfunction is random and not indicative of a design flaw.

UPDATE:

After owning this kettle for six months (including the month or so it was being repaired) the joint where the plastic spout attaches to the glass has begun to leak, which results in a teaspoon of water dribbling onto the counter each time I pour a cup. I hesitate to send it back in for repair because it is twice as fast compared to heating water in the microwave. I will post an update about my experience with customer service in the event I do decide to send it in for repair again!

I had high hopes for this kettle and it certainly delivered! It boils water very quickly. It isn't heavy like I expected (since it's glass) even when it's full. I don't plan to use the tea basket since it's plastic, but it is also very well done. My only complaint is the tiny bit of silicone in the bottom of the kettle, but considering i was using a completely plastic kettle before, this is a major improvement! Having multiple settings for different types of tea is very cool, but i can't say i use it as much as i expected to. It's still nice to have the option though. Love this kettle and highly recommend it!

The photos make this fireplace look MUCH more attractive than it actually is. The outside is very nice but the flame pattern is not even close to the photos.

The flames actually only go up about 4 inches from the bottom and are very hard to see, even in low lighting. As a matter of fact the reflection off the bottom shelf is easier to see than the actual flame pattern itself. And this reflection would disappear as soon as you placed the stones on the shelf, which I will not be doing because I am packing this thing up and sending it back asap.

Also the photos make the unit look much more "flush mounted" than is possible. Looking at the photos you see a SMALL shadow around the outside lip of the unit, but all together this thing sticks out from the wall over 6 inches. And you can't set it into the wall because it vents to the sides and top so it would be a fire hazard.

This unit is especially disappointing because we have two other electric fireplaces in the house already, and we are VERY happy with those! The other units are the free standing kind built into fireplace surrounds.

The second star is only because the unit is very attractive from the front, but in the "off" position!

We were pleased with this product. We bought it for our bedroom and it puts off a nice ambiance. It looks just as it does in the picture, but I do agree it sticks out a little bit further than expected. We initially thought we would recess it in the wall, but the heater blows out the top so that is out of the question. It would not prevent me from buying it again.

It doesn't put off a ton of heat, but it will get the room (with the door closed) cozy after it's on a bit. The flames are sufficient. It comes with a remote control which can be used to dim the flames or make them brighter.

I would purchase this product again. It would be perfect for a 3 seasons room or bathroom with soaking tub.

In my effort to find an attractive "space heater" for my kitchen I found this item. I do like it and it is serving its purpose. That said, I found it a little beat up upon arrival but something I could repair myself. Secondly, the unit really needs to be placed on a wall that is only seen from the front side as it protrudes a bit from the wall which makes it unattractive if you enter the room seeing if from a profile. My remedy since I did not have a wall as described was to corner it. I built a corner support unit so it is properly suspended off the floor. I think they should offer one for purchase for those consumers who would like this but need to corner it.

Let me explain what I think about this unit. I have 3500 square feet house in Central Florida and top of the line heat pump Central Air just installed a few years ago. All works perfect except one thing: I have to cool the entire house with it and at 4500 Watts in case of power down my diesel generator at 6500 Watts is just about running it when 1100 Watts refrigerator and lights are on at the same time. Another thing is Central Air conditioner will get you over 250 bucks electric bill during summer and this is when thermostat is set to only 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, I ordered this unit thinking it is going to be so-so portable that can subsidize cooling now and then. The unit came in UPS, it is about 84 lbs, has wheels, is very quiet, does wonders drying the air, very nice quality built and components, remote, digital thermostat, can be converted to auto drain with just additional hose if you really must, runs on 1100 Watts, and is pleasant to look at. At 9000 BTU it is very nice gizmo indeed no vibrations, smooth working and very well made. That very same day I received it and run it for entire day, I ordered another one just like it. I hope that explains how good and useful this thing is. Get one if you need one and you will be happy you did. BTW, packaging for shipping was absolutely exemplary this thing would have to be dropped from 2nd floor on concrete to get damaged in all that styrofoam and cartons. I am very happy with this purchase. Remote is also quite handy when you use it in the bedroom at night. Water tank that had to be emptied is actually good thing, because no worries about over flooding the unit, and you can distilled water for ironing or car battery if you ever need that. The conversion adapter for continues water drain is included if you need that. I am somehow puzzled with negative review posted under Alesia, because I went to this individual's "see my other reviews" and there were like a HUNDRED of portable units, all with the SAME REVIEW and all purchased on the SAME DAY. That is very strange indeed. It is either mistake or overdose. Anyway, I think this unit is working well and it is worth the money. I use it already for over a month and it is better then ever.

We received a SPT WA-9000E 9,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner on 6/11/10. There was an odd odor the first couple of times that we turned it on a plastic smell would be the best way to describe it. After about a week, my husband called (909) 468-5288 and left a message (no one returned the call). Later that day he called (800)330-0388 and spoke with a women who told him that as long as it was blowing cold air there was not a freon leak. She mentioned that the smell may be attributed to the styrofoam packing inside the machine. We just assumed that it smelled odd because it was new. We used it four or five times for maybe 3 hours each time. Well today is 7/6/10 and it hit 100 degrees outside; there is no longer any smell BUT THERE IS NO LONGER ANY COLD AIR BLOWING OUT OF THE MACHINE. I have sent an email to Sunpentown through the Amazon site. I want everything in writing with regard to how to get this 80lb piece of crap back to them. The financial burden should not be mine after having this item for only 25 days. I will update with their response.

Update: July 7, 2010 Customer Service has been very nice. An exchange is in the process . . .

Update: July 13, 2010 Semi-disaster. We received the replacement today but the coolant leaked all over it. I called customer service and was told UPS must have dropped the box. He told me to put it back in the box and UPS would pick it up tomorrow since it was damaged, and ANOTHER replacement would be sent out today. A return label was sent with the replacement in order to exchange the first air conditioner. I was supposed to take that one to UPS myself and use the box from today's delivery, but today's delivery is going back. We just want to be done with it. I called back to request a refund rather than take a chance with AC #3. Fortunately, UPS will pick up AC #1 the same time that they pick up AC #2. I was on the phone with sunpentown several times today and they were nice and patient, but this is such a hassle. At least I found another box big enough to send back AC #1. Free Super Saver shipping was not offered when I purchased this item, so I hope my shipping charges are refunded as well. (I don't have the heart to call back to ask since I have tormented the poor representative enough today.) To be continued . . .

Update: July 14, 2010 UPS did not show up. The short version of the saga: Stayed home to wait for UPS man but found out late in the day (after numerous cranky calls to both Sunpentown and UPS) a "damage inspection" needed to be scheduled, before a pick-up could be scheduled. Sunpentown rectified situation by scheduling a pick-up for Friday (7/16/10) and UPS will inspect the damaged item (AC#2) on their own site. Unfortunately, they cannot pick up AC#1 with AC#2 (different circumstances, hence different trucks and drivers). So I am lugging AC #1 to a UPS site tomorrow. I want these God forsaken machines out of my house!

Update: July 28, 2010 Both machines were returned and received by Sunpentown on July 21, 2010 (verified by UPS tracking #s). I just sent them an email inquiry through this Amazon site about my reimbursement.

Update: July 30, 2010 No response to email; I just sent another.

Update: August 1, 2010 Full refund received.

We purchased this unit to help cool the 3rd floor of our townhouse which has been over 82 when the house AC is set to 77. (Temps have been in the high 90s here in Northern Virginia). The unit is fairly quiet given the size. It has carrying handles on the side that made it easy to lug up our 3 flights of stairs. The unit must be vented to the outside to release the heat. The hose was of moderate length and the adapter piece for the window was adequate. We had to cut it to fit our window. We also had to make a trip to Home Depot to purchase insulating foam and tape to help hold it in place and plug the air leaks. We have the unit in a small bedroom and it blows cool air into the hallway, a distance of about 7 feet. As far as water accumulating in the unit, we haven't had much. In our house it's about half full after running it for an entire day. This may change when the humidity comes back. I am very happy we purchased this unit. We have been running it for 5 days and so far I would recommend it.

I received this product via UPS heavy load. I set this thing up, in hopes, of a portable A/C for our kitchen...not good. One, it is way to big and bulky for any room. Two, the exhaust hose, that you are required to use, cannot be flexed in any way. In other words, the unit has to be at least 4-5 ft away from a window and sit in the middle of a room. The window attachment could not be set up in our wndow, if used, I had to hacksaw it to make it fit. I decided that it would not work for me. I then had to pay UPS to send it back, to the tune of 150.00! So, this is a product that cost more than 1/2 its price to return...so you better be sure its right for you..

The unit does not cool as much as I expected. A 5,000 BTU window unit did much better and much quicker. It is the ducting kit that keeps it from cooling very well. That hose puts off a tremendous amount of heat. I saw one persons review and they had to actaully try and keep the duct hose cool?! I know it should get warm, but this one gets hot!

The ducting kit for this is flimsy and does not install very well. Mine actually has a problem with one end of the ducting kit. So I contacted them via e mail on their website, three times, not once did I hear back from them, not once. How does a company literally just ignore customer requests?! I was not asking for a new unit, i was asking for help with the ducting kit or at the very least a new ducting kit. Nothing, no response from them.

I would not buy anything from that company again, ever.

I recently remodeled our master bath and needed a heater. After considering 6 units I settled on this one. Installation was very easy (except for getting a 220V wire there). This is really nice unit. It's small, attractive and the LCD panel is well thought-out. You can see the room temp at all times and the controls are logical. Hooked up to 220V it's surprisingly powerful. It heats this small bathroom in minutes. It was a good choice for me.

Since writing the above paragraph I've had two F8 error codes, indicating a fault in the control. Both cleared and it has not had another in several weeks. One more and I'm asking for a replacement unit. Still, it was the best heater for my bathroom in many ways.

I bought this for my small office and wish the return shipping was so expensive or it wouldnt be here. It doesn't put off any heat but rather a very noisy circulation of air. In fact the noise bothers my co-workers.

I bought this thing about 3 weeks ago and it's already blowing cold air. In the three weeks I had it, it was doing OK, but suddenly even the high setting won't blow nothing more than a semi-warm draft. On low, it's nothing more than a room fan, no heat at ALL. Get something better if you need to warm a room. This heater is priced in the same vein that "you get what you pay for".

A waste of money.

While it adequately warms the room, it is distractingly loud. At times, I have to turn it off to hear someone speaking on the phone. I believe there are better Electric Heater fans out there.

The heater had obviously been returned when I opened the box. Plugged it in and it would not heat up. No wonder they returned it. I did the same. Think I'll find another item.

This heater worked fine for about 6 months and now just blows cold air. It is impossible to find who to talk to about getting a replacement.

Easy to install, but you only get 6 new heater wire holders, So make sure you don't break more than 6 getting the old heater wire out.

Direct factory replacement part for my dryer. Medium difficulty for install, saved me $100's over getting a new dryewr or calling a service person. Dryer drys clothes faster than it ever did before.

My dryer timer stopped advancing in the automatic cycles. In fact, one of the heating elements was broken and it had nothing to do with the timer at all.

After researching which part was needed, I ordered this heating element. This replacement fixed the problem. The directions are very good, and easy to follow. Getting the coils strung is a little tricky, but now the dyer works just fine.

My husband kept telling me to get a new dryer. But honestly, right now there are more things on which we need to spend the money. An inexpensive fix if you are wiling to attempt disassemble your dryer a bit. Downside is that I don't have a new dryer...

The part was correct for my GE dryer model DBXR453ET3WW. No issues with the condition, fit or function. The dryer was just getting warm, and the timed dry hadn't worked properly in quit awhile, now, the dryer works better than it has in years, and the timed dry works properly.

I thought my wife and I would have to buy a new washer (and matching dryer). It took me six hours to replace the heating element and drum bearing. That was a close one. We saved, at least, $1500.00 with this purchase.

Cannot say enough good things about this "stove", and I was a skeptic!

Must note: This does not come with a remote, and it uses 40-watt chandelier bulbs (no LED that we can detect).

In case others are going through the same thought processes, a little background... I've had my eye on gel-can "fireplaces" for some years now while watching the prices drop. They've not dropped enough, though--at least not on the more realistic-looking models. Since we had an oil-filled, rolling radiator in our budget for October (already have one and love it), before we pulled the trigger on that I thought perhaps we should combine the supplemental heat with a bit of ambience. So I amped up the research on faux fireplaces. Concerned about the recurring cost for canned fuel in gel versions, not to mention the smell it can give off (I've witnessed it, and yuck), I put some time into researching electric versions. It's been many years since I saw any in person, and they've come a LONG way! We decided gel was out, electric was in. Also, "fireplace" was out, "stove" was in; we wanted something mobile, and fireplaces obviously need to be up against a wall to look remotely authentic, plus vents and power buttons are hidden in some stoves. But since they're little more than space heaters with fancy tops, the questions were 1) will the stove heat as well as a radiator?, 2) will it look decent as furniture goes?, and 3) how realistic is the "fire"?

I spent hours looking at the leading manufacturers' offerings before I ever saw this product on Amazon. The heating claims are basically the same for this size stove, no matter the manufacturer, so it came down to aesthetics. There are videos aplenty online, and it's worth seeking them out. I was unimpressed with the look and behavior of the "embers/flames" I was seeing until I happened upon Muskoka's company promo video. The designer said he felt they had the most realistic-looking ember/flame design of any out there and, though I was still skeptical when I ordered it, now that I have it in front of me I can whole-heartedly agree. That aspect, along with the size and design of this stove in particular, makes it stand out among similar electric stoves.

Form: The box is metal (top, sides and back), as is the screen on the doors. Everything else is molded plastic. We're fine with that because it's done well, and it keeps the unit from being too heavy. The design touches on this unit really set it apart, and the doors and screen make the most difference. Not only are the power buttons hidden, so is the glass front--the glare from which, on doorless models, screams "faux!" on first sight. You can't see the heater at the bottom unless you're 12+ feet away or sitting on the floor; it's tucked under and centered. The power cord is 6 feet long, and though the manufacturer does advise against it, they nonetheless approve the use of a short, three-prong, heavy-duty extension cord. And the flame effect? Pretty astonishing. We had a friend walk in last night who thought it was the real deal. (I'm putting up an image but maybe we'll shoot a video as well.)

Function: The low (half) and high (full) settings on the heater work appropriately, there's not a lot to say there. It's forced/fan heat, so the effect is instantaneous as a floor and foot warmer, as compared to radiator-type heaters. Whether or not it will make a big difference in our living room space overall remains to be seen. (If it fails I'll add an update in deep winter.) But we have wood floors that get ice cold in the winter, so I imagine some hot air moving across them will be helpful. You can use the flame effect without heat if you're just looking for ambience.

Price: I'd say this unit is appropriately priced. There are far more expensive models out there which just don't look authentic. And yes, there are cheaper models, but those also look cheaper.

Packaging: It was packaged just fine in a sturdy box, with styrofoam on the top and bottom, and with plenty of air/space inside the box to prevent dings and dents. The unit arrives intact with no assembly needed.

Bottom Line: 100% happy with our purchase. And I swore I'd never go faux! Of course you can't beat the ambience of a real fire, but we all know the smoke's no good for us. This unit is a nice alternative. Unfortunately the first unit we received was defective, but Amazon was quick about picking up the return and sending us a replacement within two days. Had that not have happened I'd give this unit five stars, but we're a little nervous now. Hopefully the duds are few. Happy fall and winter to all!
