I've had an older model Dimplex insert and the heater finally died after 9 years of steady use. I was looking for something that would fill my large firebox and this is perfect. Easy to set up. I would say I was mildly put off seeing the edge of the ""Revillusion"" plastic reflective curved surface like other reviewers. But I took a small artist paintbrush, some black paint and just painted the edge. You could also use a Sharpie. It's now mostly invisible...something the manufacturer might want to consider! Looks great and heats an entire family room on low setting.
