The Classic flame insert is very realistic and I love sitting in front of the fire when it is cold or just for the atmosphere.
Would highly recommend this insert.

Not sure why. I had it on temperature setting of 78 degrees doing the circular fan mode and started smelling something like burning plastic. I'm watching it and then poof spark and a flame. It burned out pretty quick but still considering how tall this unit stands I wouldn't trust it. I warmed a small area in my RV and did a good job cutting off when the temperature was reached but after seeing this thing just catch flames, I wouldn't recommend it.

I purchased this heater and after one use (4 hours) in my daughter's room, it blew a flame spark and died. Luckily, the floor was not carpeted or else the flame spark could have started a fire in my 5 year old's room. Make sure you don't place the heater too close to the bedding or the bedding could have caught fire.Best Deals for Bionaire BCH9221-UM Ceramic Tower Heater with LCD Control
November 11, 2010:I got this in October the day before Halloween and have been using it in place of gas heat in the house. It is amazing. It heats up my 12x12 bedroom nicely and very quickly and leaves no plasticy or metal odor. It also surprisingly stays very cool. When I am wanting to take it to the living room I hit the OFF button, it gives you a count down while it runs a cooling fan, and then it shuts off without you having to worry about burning yourself. I carry in the room and I want and start over! It has a temperature you can set it to and it will heat the room up to that temp, shut off, and restart again when the desired temperature has dropped. It's awesome and we're looking into purchasing another for the guest bedroom.
Honest reviews on Bionaire BCH9221-UM Ceramic Tower Heater with LCD Control
I've only had the unit for a week or two so my comments are just based on first impressions. I've had many space heaters over the years and ship them off to electronics recycling after a few years when I start getting paranoid about the age contributing to a fire hazard. The only space heater that has ever earned my notice was a Bionaire tower that I bought several years ago. So I decided to purchase what I presumed to be the updated version. In this case, newer does not mean better. Nothing major to report just little things. First thing I thought was strange is that the display no longer reports the room temperature. It seems fairly basic and important to know what the temperature of the room IS, in order to decide what temperature that you'd like to set the unit. Honestly, I'm used to the old display showing the ambient room temperature so I find that having it missing is really irritating. Second, I miss the handle for easy lifting/moving rather than the new partial grab spot in the back. Third, the buttons are hard to depress I'm not sure if it is the buttons themselves or the strange tilted angle of their placement. Because the buttons are so hard to use, I am forced to use the remote control. And lastly, the unit is so much lighter that the tipping potential makes me nervous. However, we are careful to leave the unit on only when an adult is present for supervision. I'll reserve final judgment after more use.UPDATE: I would rate this at "zero" stars if I could. It lasted approximately 3-4 months with very limited use. Like many of the other reviewers the heating element blew out with a giant spark flying out of the unit and the smell of something burning. The best I can say about it is that it didn't burn down my house.

Suddenly it smelled like burned plastic and sparks came out. Luckily I was close and I was able to unplug it quickly. It's a fire hazzard!

Review of Muskoka Electric Stove, Large
I've had this unit all of three hours and so far I'm very satisfied. Shipping was fast ... it arrived intact and completely assembled. It's heavier than other similar units which to me indicates that it's of more substantial materials. The styling is handsome and nicely put together. The heater has only two settings but I think they will work fine ... the low setting when I run it in fall or spring ... high when we get into December and January. The fan runs quietly and my kids had to look at it several times to convince themselves they were not looking at real flames. The glowing embers are very realistic. I just like the way it looks ... it's a litte more expensive than some models but so far, it seems to be well worth it.
In case others are going through the same thought processes, a little background first: 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. We're ordering one for a relative when it comes back in stock. (It's offered elsewhere on Amazon and beyond, at various prices from various sellers. Just be sure to get the one with the screen.) Since this stove is new to us, if it malfunctions I'll add an update.
Now all we need, save a temperature drop, is a pop-and-crackle soundtrack (we're working on it)--and some good "fireside" wax melts! Happy fall and winter to all.
--Update:
Just hours after submitting this glowing review the "fire" mechanism unfortunately failed on our unit! After running for 20 minutes it went dark for no reason. (The heater was fine.) We opened the back of the cabinet and checked both bulbs, and neither was burned out. When we closed the cabinet one light inexplicably came back on, then a few minutes later went dark again. Amazon was great and quick: within two days they picked up the defective unit and sent us a replacement--just in time for a huge temperature drop. I'm happy to report that the second unit is fine (so far)... no black-outs after testing for ten hours over two days. And on the high setting, the heater definitely warmed the room enough that we had to shut it off. I'd give it five stars if we weren't a little nervous about how long this will last.

We live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC and the winters can be quite harsh. Our 3200 sq ft home is heated by a natural gas furnace. After watching Bob Villa's infomercial we puchased the EdenPURE GEN4 HEATER and we couldn't be happier. This is our 3rd winter using the heater. We shut off a portion of the house by closing doors and only heat that area with the heater. This heater will keep our bedroom, hallway, den and kitchen at a very comfortable temperature and I am cold natured. Last winter we spent less than $300 on natural gas because we used the EdenPURE as a supplemental heat source. Our electricity bill only increased about $15-$20 per month. This is an excellent product and in 3 years of use we have never had any issues with the unit.

This is my first review I have written on Amazon. I just that it would be useful to warn consumers about this product.I have now been the unfortunate owner of a gen 3 and Gen 4 Edenpure heaters. I have yet to have one of these heaters make it through an entire winter season. I bought my first Edenpure in October, 2010. I stared using the heater at the end of November beginning of December. The heater stopped heating at the end of January 2011. So after barely 2 months of daily use the heater stopped heating.
I live in Arkansas so the winters are mild at best. Rarely dose it ever dip below 20 degrees at night. Most of the time the temperature is between 30-40 degrees. Since I was just barely over the 3 month mark I could not return this item for a refund. Instead I had to settle for an exchange. I received my exchanged unit on February 21st, 2011. I used the until the end of April and boxed it up and stored it until the next winter season. So I start using the heater again in December 2011 and on January 18th, 2012 the unit stops heating completely. So an 11-month-old unit that has only seen 3-4 months of continual use craps out on me. That is just unacceptable.
These units are cheaply made plastic bricks and are not built to last. The heaters are big, boxy, noisy and hideous to look and for almost $400 you would think it would include a digital thermostat that reads room temperature but it does not. These heaters are also extremely slow to heat up an open door room around 300sq ft. Even though the advertising says 1000 sq ft. Buy one of these heaters if you want to go through the hassle of spending $30 every year for shipping to exchanging this heater out for a new one.

We bought our first EdenPure a couple of winters ago and I used it to heat the upstairs of our old farmhouse where my home office was. It sure was so much better and cheaper to run than the old small heaters that I used to run. It is quiet and even though I had the heater in the hallway, I could feel the heat surround me in my office 15 feet or more away. We loaned our heater to my in-laws to use in their livingroom while my father-in-law was in end stages of cancer and it has not come back as my mother-in-law uses it daily for extra warmth. We are planning on buying another to replace the original. Great product!!Honest reviews on EdenPURE US GEN4 Model US 1000 Portable Electric Space / Room
I own two EdenPure Heating units and have had NO trouble with them that I wasn't warned about. I had one unit start to blow cold air and figured the bulbs must be burned out... then remembered to CLEAN the filter... Cleaned it and it went right back to working wonderfully. I have owned these units for over 4 years and for those who complain and give a one rating, they are obviously from the competition. I have found them to work well for what they are designed for... to heat a room. BUT I heat my entire house (1100 sqft) in ALASKA with two of these units. We dropped our electric bill from about 250 in the winter to 150.00. I heat my house year round for under 1000.00 a year... quite amazing! I am currently thinking very seriously about buying one to heat my business, which uses baseboard, that I can't keep on all night due to the cost. I do not see this unit as being cheaply made... my remote has never not worked... I don't think I have even had to change the battery in 4 years and I use the remote every time I turn it on. I like the long cord, I can easily move the machine about the room to bring more heat to a location I am at. I did a lot of research on this product before I bought it, but a very positive review from my cousin got me to buy one, and I have been very pleased with this purchase.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for EdenPURE US GEN4 Model US 1000 Portable Electric Space / Room
A friend recommended EdenPURE and I'm glad we took their advise.The five year warranty on the motor was incentive enough for me.
The number of increments of heat regulation make the comfort level easy to adjust for the large open area I want to heat.
We bought a second one for a Christmas gift for the Daughter because she had an inadequate "air/heat "source.
EdenPURE solved that heating problem in fifteen minutes.
Yes," I love it "and gave a five star rating.
