I am pretty picky about things like this and was a little hesitant about ordering a, ha ha electric log set. But I gave it a try to replace my dry air maker propane log set.S[...]Setup was simple, a ten year old can do it.Appearance of flame and logs is very realistic. Heat source is more than adequate for electric heat.My firebox had tan bricks, so what I did is paint the box with black firebox paint so the log set would blend in.In bright light during the day the actual profile of the unit is noticeable, however in the evening hours it is not noticeable.There is some light escaping from the side of the unit toward the side of the firebox intermittently showing on the firebox, not really a big deal but noticeable, which I believe I can correct by blocking off.No noise of motors or anything. Very quiet.Bottom line is in the evening it looks like the real deal. My wife did not want to put her hand over it even with the heat strips off it was that real.
