I love this insert. I purchased it to replace an old fireplace insert that had bit the dust. I was amazed at all the features and different ways you can display the flame height and color. The ambient light is an extra nice touch and the dimming brightening effect adds to the realistic look. The heat feature does a great job of warming up my den quickly. I like that you can set the temp with the remote control that’s included. My old one did not do that. I am very pleased with my purchase and will be purchasing another one when my other fireplace insert gives out.
