Honestly, I love this little fireplace. My new, 130 year old house has non-working but beautiful fireplaces everywhere. I considered buying one of the expensive holographic electric fireplaces, and still may, but in the short run settled for 2 of this model. The colorful flame burns 247 making my bedroom cozy warm so I don’t have to heat the whole house while I sleep. It’s fairly quiet, pretty, and just very handy.   Well worth the money.
