This is a well-constructed fireplace insert with the most natural and three-dimensional log layout and flame of any insert I have seen. Unlike some of the other less pricy units, this one presents a feeling of depth and features a three-sided brick wall motif. The adjustable cracking sound with or without a wind effect is a nice touch as well. The front is protected with a solid piece of glass and you can tell that the unit has been well designed and manufactured. It is not the cheapest insert out there but, unlike so many other inserts, it does not look like a tv screen set into a box.  And the kicker is that it is marketed by a Canadian company.
