My husband was hesitant when I ordered it , but he is really happy with  our purchase. We took it out of the box to inspect and to learn how it works. There is plenty of heat and with the fan it pushes the heat even more. Love the different colours and if you didn’t need the heat there is the look of the fire which is a nice abeyance. We haven’t put it in yet but my husband says it will be a piece of cake. I would buy this again.
