Perfect size. Heats large living room and hall perfectly. Love all the different settings for the flames. I'm handicapped and the remote makes life much easier on me by not having to get up to change the heat settings. It has timer so it will shut off (when set) in case I fall asleep. Another great function is that when the cord got too hot (I had it plugged into a heavy duty extension cord) it shut down. You can't go wrong with this fireplace. Have had others and this one is far beyond the services that I got from the others. I'm going to order one for my daughter.
