So, I wasn't 100% happy with the aesthetics of the electric logs when I took it out of the box, but after plugging it up and turning it on, the hue and fire-like  features are actually very pretty and calming. The heater works very well. The heater comes on when turning the unit on and I don't think that feature can be turned off, so it has to be manually turned off each and every time you turn it on :-/ Another thing I'm not too crazy about is the white wording on the front of the unit, as well as the red function light that remains on during and when the unit is off. It takes away from the look of the unit being "real" looking. Overall, when I use it I like it :-)
