As my wife and I are perfectionistic designers, sifting through the vast variety of the space heaters available on the market was some task. We finally decided on one which would provide a slow constant wamth versus the hot air bast-types such as heat fan elements, coil heaters, etc. resting on the idea of purchasing a radiated type. We read the reports on DeLonghi products in general which overall had been favorable. We made the decision to purchase the non-timer version of the TRH0715T, the TRH0715. Although slighlty less expensive, in hind sight I think we would've spent the extra money and got the timer version. We have still to recieve our electricity bill, but guess it much more economical than slappiing down $1,500 for heating oil. The two we purchased, heat our main floor nicely (1,300 sq. ft.), and is not too inconvient when moving heaters from room to room if/when necessary. The overall design is thoughtfully provided in the form of a stealth high-heat resistant plastic handle, 4 castor-roller type wheels, a cord wrap attachement, and aerodynamic heating fins. The heat is slow and constant and does not get "burning hot" like coil-element heaters (I still don't suggest touching it however). This was a good purchase and we feel very good about the price we paid. If you're looking for a non-avant garde designed heater which provides a good steady soft heat, this is the one!

This little heater works well! The snap-down wheels made it very easy to install (no assembly required). The thermostatic variable control works well (unlike some others I have tried). Some reviewers reported smelling an oil or paint smell when they first turned it on, however, I did not have that issue at all. Since I only obtained my heater at the end of this years heating season, I haven't yet fully tested the high heat setting, but on the low setting, it kept my 20 x 14 foot room quite comfortable this spring. It makes no noise that I have been able to tell, except a very slight click when the heater turns on at the thermostat setting.

I got this for our 3-year-old daughter's room as for some reason she does not seem to like the sound of a radiant heater. It does a decent job of boosting the heat level in the room, which she needs because she tends to kick off her blankets during the night. I wouldn't rely on this alone to heat a room unless it was a very small room. The top and back do get hot, although you'd have to keep your skin in contact with it for several seconds to actually get burned; bumping into it should not cause any burns. I haven't noticed any odors or noises from it.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi TRH0715 Oil Filled Radiator

We've had this for about a week. It does a great job of keeping my daughter's 12x12 foot room warm all night when on low setting (700 watts) and about half on the thermostat setting. We left it on full blast in the garage for three hours when we first got it, and it definitely gave off an oil smell. We moved it to the bedroom after that & no smell at all. It does get a little hot to touch, so not for use around small kids, nor can you put it against draperies or furniture.

Have owned a heater just like this one for over five years now. It will not burn you, or a child, but gets very warm. With a box fan running quietly on low next to it to keep air moving over it, can keep three rooms relatively warm all night in coastal NC with one of these. It will drop into the teens here sometimes at night.

Feel safe with this heater for it would be hard to accidentally start a fire with it. Just ordered another one for I am going to let my LP gas provider have their tank back as soon as I use most of the fuel in it. Then, purchase my own LP tank. It's cheaper to use this along with my heat pump instead of just the heat pump alone. With LP heat for backup, Stay cozy no matter how cold it gets or if the power grid should fail.

Update: Do not understand the negative reviews outlining so many problems. Received my second oil filled heater, tested it for many hours and found it to work fine just like the one I have been using for many years now. Have owned many types of electric heaters. Like these oil filled units the best. Do not mind leaving my home with one running but it is definitely best to turn all portable heaters off when unattended. It has an overload/high temp automatic safety shutoff for safety. Use a 15 amp power strip on them with a 15 amp circuit breaker for extra safety.

Feburary 13, 2010: Both of my electric oil filled heaters are working fine as usual. Have had no problems at all with either of them. It's currently snowing outside tonight. Am using nothing but my two oil filled electric heaters with fans running quietly next to them to keep my home cozyhave shorts on. Propane prices are currently right high around here. Have plenty of propane gas on hand if the power grid should fail. My older model heat pump is not all that energy efficient. Like these cozy and quiet little heaters. Got another electric bill today. It was much lower than I thought it would be using these heaters with the thermostat on them set at a reasonable level.

Have popped plenty of 15 amp fuses and tripped breakers with 1500 watt portable electric heaters over the years. Especially in my motorhome. You can use a long, heavy duty, 12 guage extension cord with it on a 20 amp circuitno problem. Don't use anything lighter than a short 14 guage cord. Personally, will not be using a 14 guage extension cord, of any length, with a load like this. Have spare fuses on hand unless you have circuit breakers or are using a 20 amp circuit. It's a pretty heavy load for a 15 amp circuit.

Dec. 7, 2010: Am again using my two trusty oil filled heaters with box fans quietly running on low next to them to keep my house warm. An Artic blast has hit early this year. It's cold outside. Have five smoke alarms in my home for safety. Am just wearing shorts as usual. One good thing about these heaters for me is that I can sit a stock pot, tea kettle or whatever on top of them in order to quickly get more moisture into the air. Just don't let any water spill onto the control unit side of the heater. Be forewarned that if you use a fan to increase the heat output and move more air through these heaters, you'll keep the heater cooler and thermostat energized putting out more heat in your home. Therefore, it'll use more energy unless the thermostat is set on a really low setting.

March 2012: Have gotten through another Winter with these same two oil filled heaters, saving significant money on energy in the process. Am quite fond of these two heaters. Feel safe with them and late model ionization AND PHOTOELECTRIC smoke alarms throughout my home. Photoelectric smoke sensors are important to detect slow smoldering fires before the fumes get you. If paper or something similar falls aganist the bottom of one of these heaters, it's just no big deal. Being able to use one with a stock pot of water on top of it to get more moisture in the air makes a big difference. Higher indoor humidityat least 40% is MUCH better for the respiratory system in the Winter. When the water is gone, I can soon tell without even looking to see if it is empty. The water gets warm but not too hot to be hazardous to anyone. Just keep the water away from the control unit side of the heater.

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.

Product performs as expected. the one bit of advice to anyone purchasing this item is READ and pay heed to the INSTRUCTIONS! I went through 2 before I realized the reason they didn't last long was that I was letting the liquid go past the point of damaging the heater. in other words don't walk off while it's immursed for it takes one time and one time only to damage it. It takes about 5 minutes to heat water to 180 to 190 degrees perfect for tea. if you do this it will last a long time.

The name of the product is pretty self explanatory.

Its PORTABLE.

Its IMMERSIBLE.

And it HEATS.

So why would anyone not think this works well?

You can't heat soup, or lasagna, or hot chocolate or even coffee or tea if you follow the directions to the letter. You can heat WATER. PERIOD.

Anything else and you're likely going to be disappointed that the unit dies a premature death.

That immersible thing is tricky too, because the cord is short.

You can't plug it in before you immerse it.

You can't remove it while it is still plugged in.

You can't let it boil off the water leaving it above water level (meaning you CANNOT leave this unattended).

Follow these three simple rules, and I think you'll be more than pleased with yours.

One that I had lasted over a year...until-distracted-I forgot about it.

Came back to find a half full cup of water and a dead heater.

My bad.

This is the third immersion heater I have used and it is the best. I paid twice as much for the others and this one heats water to boiling within about five minutes as opposed to ten or more minutes with the others. I got this one at ACE hardware.

Honest reviews on Norpro 559 Immersion Heater, For Beverage/Soup, 300-Watt Kitchen

I bought this immersion heater to take with me into the hospital. I was having radioactive iodine treatment for thyroid cancer. I knew I'd be able-bodied, but bored, under orders to drink lots of fluids, and seeing very little of the nurses, as they do these treatments in special isolation rooms. It was such a good thing to be able to have a cup of hot herbal tea, or some cocoa, whenever I wanted, just as I would at home. The immersion heater worked perfectly. The key is to remember that you must never plug the heater in until the coil is immersed in your cup, and never remove the coil from your cup until you unplug it. The heater boils water so fast, you really do need to watch ita watched pot may never boil, but a forgotten immersion heater would boil your cup dry very quickly. I had to put my heater away in a box with the books I read in the hospital, as they scanned my stuff with a Geiger counter when my treatment was over, and it read "hot". Everything will be safe to use again after a month, and I will be glad to have the heater to use when we travel. My post-treatment scan gave me a clean bill of health, so I will be enjoying this heater for a long time to come!

Works great if you ALWAYS follow these steps:

1. Fill your cup with water

2. Insert the heater into the water, THEN plug it in.

3. It takes a couple of minutes to get the water boiling.

4. Unplug the heater first, THEN remove it from the water.

With dozens of so called "ceramic" portable heaters on the market it can be very difficult to sort through all the models. Here are the facts friends; Pelonis (Del Rain) pionerred the original fully ceramic portable heaters back in the mid 80's...these models use 100% ceramic heating (disc design) elements and will approximately double the amount of heat available, watt for watt, than all other so called "ceramic" heaters. Why the confusion? the lower cost units (20-30$) use very small ceramic conductive elements which are then joined to long metal type heating fins; (there is only an upfront cost saving); the pelonis disc furnace will pay for itself in less than one heating season! And, by the way, our own space shuttles employ this same type of heating unit on their missions. Case dismissed.

The Pelonis Disc Furnace is the most efficient and safest small space heater ever built. Dispite their small size, they can easily heat a large room.

The B-6A1 ceramic space heater is one of the best I have used over many years experience...It far exceeds those which cost less, such as the one's offered at Lowe's, Home Depot, K-Mart, Wal-Mart and elsewhere...In my opinion it is better buildt and puts out more heat than others...It is also far quieter and has a varible temp. selector...You will find that this heater cost more, but you only get what you pay for...It will give you years of good service..

Honest reviews on Pelonis Classic Ceramic Heater

My Dad bought an original Peopnis disc furnace in 1982 because it was used on NASA flights to heat the spacecrafts. How cold does it get up there???

We still have it and it works great.

I have bought over 25 Pelonis furnaces since then. They originally called them furnaces for a reason. Here are the pros and cons. The ones with forced air are not as good as the true ceramic. The ones with out the ceramic discs are not any better than other cheap heaters. The Original ceramic only are excellent par anything They heat up the rooms in our trailer from 25 degrees to 75 degrees 10x12 rooms) and turn off automatically in about 15 minutes. That is unbelieveable The heat penetrates into the furniture and into you. It is not just ehating the air it heats the contents of the room. We did get a black plastic one and it did melt the case when we had it too close to a metal item but oh well, it still runs 10 years later!!! I recommend the original Pelonis with temp control, the browm metal box type. We have had the newer styles and oscilating and no it is not like the original for sure. Thanks for listening

Do not buy this heater or any Pelonis product. I bought this heater two months ago. I turned this heater on and it burned my linoleum floor. I tried calling the number on their web site and it just rings and rings. I sent an email to them and I have not received a response.

I bought the same model twenty years ago and was extremely happy with it. Comparing it with the new model there is no comparison. The new one is built really cheap and flimsy. The are lots of plastic parts with the new one. My old was made in the USA while the new one now made in China.

I am extremely pleased with these filters. I had bought a Filtrete filter at home depot that was supposedly the same size but in actual measurements was way too big for my older Honeywell air cleaner unit.

If I remember right, that mistake cost me thirty dollars or so for the one filter as I mangled the filter trying to force it in.......

I bought the Nordic Pure filters and was delighted that because of their smaller actual measurements they fit perfectly. They were also well packed and arrived in perfect condition.

Frankly, because it cost half the price of the second choice GE model, I placed my order with reservations that it may not be an effective appliance, and was prepared to return it if the trial didn't work out. Instead, I feel fantastic about choosing the economical Sonya over better-known brands. After researching many brands of apartment-sized dryers at all price points, the higher-capacity Sonya portable became my first choice. It was highly reviewed on several other websites, including those that specialize in small-space living.

My husband and I completed a traditional outdoor vented installation yesterday. This dryer, plus a vintage Lady Kenmore portable replaced the landlord's Whirlpool Duet high-capacity stacking system. Although the stackers were very nice, their bulk made our tiny laundry area ineffective. The Sonya dryer is at least 8 inches smaller in all dimensions than the previous dryer, yet it holds an impressive load of laundry. In arid, high-altitude Montana, it completely dried each load 6 so far, including one with 4 pairs of 40"x36" cargo pants and several T-shirts in about 90 minutes. Another plus is the included hardware for a hanging installation; this feature saved $100 over other models that require separate purchase of a stacking rack. The Sonya far exceeded our expectations. I would recommend it highly to anyone needing to squeeze every inch of performance from a closet-sized laundry area.

July 9, 2013 Following up on my original review after a month of use: My husband and I are both impressed with the Sonya high-capacity dryer. Other reviewers commented that this machine doesn't seem to get hot, or that it takes a long time to dry. My experience has been quite different. As long it is not overloaded with heavy wet clothing, a load of mixed garments will be completely dry in 90 minutes or less and be toasty warm when removed from the dryer!

Tips on effective use:

The installation directions for hanging the dryer do not mention installing two (included) 4" metal and rubber feet to the back-bottom of the dryer. There are pre-drilled holes in the chassis. YOU MUST INSTALL THESE TO KEEP THE DRYER FROM FALLING OFF THE HOOKS!

Install with flexible aluminum vent pipe, not the cheaper accordion plastic type. Connect the 3" vent into a 4" dryer vent in the floor or wall; a 4" to 3" adaptor, available at most hardware stores, makes the transition smoothly.

Keep the dryer lint traps clean. If the exit air vent is blocked with a blanket of lint, the steamy air remains in the dryer.

RUN THE SPIN CYCLE TWICE for loads of extra heavy clothing to extract as much water as possible before drying.

Process larger (Queen or King) bedding in 2 loads: one for the bottom sheet, a pillow case and a few T-shirts, and another similarly loaded for the top sheet.

Enjoy!

I ordered this product for our two bedroom apartment. We do laundry for two adults a 6 year old and an infant. This product is amazing! The dryer shipped quickly and got here fast. I did have to call in and figure out how to put the rotating band back on. It was a quick call an email later and a few basic tools to undo the back and just two hands to put the band back on. (They say during shipping it can come dislodged but it's a quick fix) after that I did a quick wash. (I handwashed our first load of laundry bc we had not ordered the sonya washer yet. It took a little longer to dry since I was unable to get all the water rang out of the clothes properly.

Either way this dryer is amazing. It handles big loads wonderfully.

This is the first time I have ever left a review. This is worth the money!!!! So worth it. Our electric bill has been level for the amount of clothes we wash and dry I thought it was going to higher but it has been pretty much the same.

I more then please with product!!!

Hope it does just as good for you when you purchase it. \(^_^)/

Best Deals for Sonya Portable Compact Laundry Dryer Apartment Size 110V 13lbs/3.75

I'm rating this dryer as 5 stars keeping in mind that it is a smaller dryer better for apartment sizes and for use with the smaller size portable washers. I'm using this with a HLP23E by Haier which is a 1.5 cu.ft. washer. I purchased this vs. one of the other even smaller dryers because as I understand the rule of thumb is to choose a dryer that's at least twice as many cu.ft. as your washer in order to dry clothes more quickly and more efficiently.

Now keep in mind that this does only use only a standard plug. Although you really do almost need a plug with it's own circuit. It's rated at 1400W/800W which W/V=A so it's 11.6/6.6Amps respectively. If you're using this on a 15A circuit with a bunch of other things you're going to be making a lot of trips to your panel and wearing out your breakers especially if you press the "high" button in on the dryer.

How I have it set up is next to a window in my kitchen. Unfortunately my whole apartment is run off two 15A fuses so I can't run this at the same time as anything else on the same circuit and it's best if I can set it up to run right before I go to bed. More on that to follow. I don't like venting it into my kitchen and throwing up dust everywhere especially since both my wife and I have allergies. Those little indoor dryer vents are about as code as my apartments wiring. I advise if you absolutely must vent inside (again, not code) that you vent into a HEPA vacuum bag. You may need some serious dehumidifying too.

In order to vent the dryer I took a piece of cedar board I had left over from another project and cut it so it would just fit into the upper stile of the window. I then cut a hole in it and screwed a standard dryer vent in. I carefully used insulation foam tape all the way around the board to seal any gaps. Standard dryer vent line is 4" but the exhaust on this dryer is not so I used some spring steel wire cutters to clip out a few of the vent tube reinforcement rings so I could zip tie one end of the standard exhaust tube over the smaller exhaust coming from the dryer. I removed the felt screen on the dryer vent since you wont need that venting to the outside, it seems just like a futile attempt to catch more dust from this thing. I also put up an 18" valence and with the dryer next to the window it hides the exhaust tube and the cedar board. I'm going to put some of the vinyl stained glass peel and stick(sort of) covers over the remaining exposed glass to further disguise my transgressions to this window which just looks out on a neighboring house anyway.

So about the power draw on this thing. I suppose if you were to leave it on low power by not pressing in the white button to the left of the time selector you probably could let it run through the whole cycle and it would get your clothes dry without wasting a ton of electricity. If you set it to high though it will get a load dry in a little under an hour and a half. I think you need to turn the knob to the max setting for it to get to max hotness which also gives you max time. So do you wanna sit around and wait while your clothes dry and not run anything else on that circuit in order to stop the cycle an hour and some odd minutes later? Neither do I. I know there are hourly countdown timers but am hour doesn't seem to be enough and the clothes are still damp. Luckily I picked up a mechanical countdown timer on E-bay that I won in auction for like $5 with shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121126923369?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 It's sold by weiproducts-us. They have a two and three prong version. They also have a two prong version of a digital timer with countdown function and say there is a 3 prong version but they don't have it yet. You need a three prong timer. I just plugged the dryer into the timer and set the dryer to max heat/time then set the timer for an hour and a half before I go to bed or leave, works every time.

A little more on the lint filter. I'm not sure how traditional dryers work but this thing has a belt driven drum and on the back of the drum is an in line turbine to push air out and is sealed around the sides by brush bristles. I don't think this thing will ever get hot enough to start a lint fire but after years of use those bristles are bound to rub down and fill the inside of the dryer with lint and moisture and eventually ruin it. I'll probably pull the back off this thing to check on the state of the bristles every few years and hopefully the company will provide a replacement kit should it be worn out. Although who knows, it may be durable enough that the bristles will last 20 years I'm not sure. Some humidity must still be escaping into the inside though so if it suddenly stops working after warranty it might be worthwhile to check the connections for corrosion inside. It is a pretty simple design though and although it's in line with the costs of comparable style dryers I think all these things should probably cost about half of current prices for what they really are.

Honest reviews on Sonya Portable Compact Laundry Dryer Apartment Size 110V 13lbs/3.75

This dryer works perfectly with the sonya apartment washer. My little apartment is able to house both of these in a small bathroom without sacrificing space. The dryer works very well, is quite quiet, and fits on a shelf to be out of the way. The fact it plugs into your standard outlet really helps since my little apartment doesn't have a 240v outlet. I'm saving time and money by being able to do my laundry at home. The lint trap is the only slightly inconvenient part of this dryer with it being all the way in the back. But it more than makes up for that with how quickly it drys clothes for its small size and it's ability to fit far more clothes than I expected. I also received this item two days after ordering it, very fast shipping. I highly recommend this product and the sonya apartment washer. Very satisfied customer.

I purchased this product to heat and cool a small well insulated office space of approximately 160 square feet. It's supposed to heat 350 square feet. During the summer months I was quite pleased with the cooling. When I needed heat this fall I was greatly disappointed. The air from the front grill is barely warm. It took an hour and forty-five minutes to raise the room temperature from fifty-five degrees to sixty-five degrees. When I called Frigidaire's Customer Service I was told this unit was only to be used as a "supplemental heat source". Meaning I had to have a primary heat source to heat the room before this Frigidaire heater would do any good. Nothing in the advertising information says anything about this being a "supplemental heat source". Instead of purchasing this product, go to Walmart and buy a room air conditioner for $150 and two small "milkhouse" electric heaters for $40.00 each. Even one 1800 watt "milkhouse" heater will put out more heat than the Frigidaire and be much cheaper to operate.

I would not recommend purchasing this product.

I was surprised that the unit was in such great condition (it still had all of it's original display stickers and everything) at the price I received it for about half of what Sears was charging online.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire FRA08EHT1 8,000 BTU Through-the-Wall Air Conditioner

We were searching for a wall unit for a bakery. After a lot of searching and having to narrow down our search to a 110v machine, this was a great choice! It runs quietly and keeps our 20 x 20 room quite comfortable. If you are looking for a 110v ac and heater, you really can't go wrong.

I paid a contractor to remove my old unit, the only source of heat in the condo. He installed the Frigidaire and everything but the heat works. The heat comes on for two minutes, then shuts off, all the lights start blinking and it beeps until I shut it down. I've been on the phone with Frigidaire, who state that the unit is unfixable and also that they cannot find any Frigidaire contractor to replace it. Therefore, the only option is that they will refund my money for the purchase but not my installation costs. In the meantime, it has been a week and a half.....I have no heat. I have to find the serial number stickers on the unit to return with my receipt to Frigidaire in order to "start" the refund process. (my contractor will have to come back over to do this and I will have to pay him again.) I'm very upset and now will not purchase anything frigidaire again.

I really liked the design of this fireplace and after shopping and comparing MANY options... even others of the same design at other stores that were nearly twice the price, I decided to give this one a shot... wondering if the lower price meant it would be lesser quality.

I've been completely happy with this item. The fire is very realistic for an electric option. The heater cranks out the warmth and its contemporary design fits great in my modern home. While I"d love to have a REAL fireplace, this has been a great alternative for cozy winter nights. I even had a Christmas tree and stockings around it for the holidays.

It looks nice and puts out good enough heat for a single story room. However the mounting hardware was useless to we who have drywall instead if concrete or block walls. The hardware provided was concrete anchors. So you will need to head over to the nearest Lowes to buy any other type anchors you may need for the wall it will be placed on. "Drywall, partical board, wood etc.

beautiful fireplace but didn't have the same luck with the remote control, the original never worked and we are going for the 3rd one trying to make it work.

Honest reviews on XtremepowerUS 35" ELECTRIC FIREPLACE

PROS: The unit is attractive, flames are very realistic, Throws nice heat on both 750W and 1500W. Able to have unit on with flames while heat off. Appears solidly built. Easy to hang.

CONS: With lights on in room the flames are a bit dim even on brightest setting. Fan is a bit noisey but tolerable. Heat is directed out of top along wall not outward. Need a ceiling fan in reverse to circulate air to be effective. remote control intermittently works. Manual controls difficult to acess if at chest level. Cord exits from top of unit (poor design). Generic brown box poorly packaged with rolled up blister pack creating huge buldge on side of box. Packing tape slopped all over with hole in the side. Embarrassed the way it presented as Chritmas gift.

OTHER THOUGHTS: This unit appeared used. as a heater, just OK. As a converation piece, it is good

I heat my house with wood and have a wood stove (that has glass door) and a fireplace. For me there is no other way to get warmreal wood is the best. I built my man room by cutting off part of my garage and I have all the manly stuff one could want (big tv, bad ass music system, bar, reclining chair, etc...) so when my mother in law suggested that I put in an electric fireplace below the tv, I was really skeptical! She has really good instinct for style and decoration, and I trust her advice all the time. I settled on this electric fireplace mostly because of it's looks. Now that it's in, it's really pretty cool! It puts off good heat, and I would of given it 5 stars, but it is a little noisy. I think someone else reviewed that noise as "crackling", but it's notit's the fan turning. The flames look fake, but, for what it is it's really cool.
