After much research, we decided to purchase the Dimplex Synergy 50"" Electric Wall Mount Fireplace because of the size of the unit and its great looks as well as the reputation of the company. We also purchased the black surround that was designed for this model. Although the installation was not as quick and easy as stated, we were able to install it along with the surround in a reasonable amount of time. We love the results! The fireplace looks great in our large room. We have received many compliments on its impressive looks. We're very happy that we decided on the Dimplex. The flames as so realistic looking. It takes the chill out of the room when we have the heat function on and it adds so much charm to our room. Since we live in Florida and do not rely on it for heat, we can enjoy the fireplace the entire year by turning the heat function off and just having the flames on. I are definitely happy that we purchased this model for our room because it has become the focal point.
