We bought this originally as a temporary replacement for our gas fire that had just been removed, however the fire looks great in the room, it has a sensor which allows you to set what temperature you want the room to be so it only fires up when the room falls below that temperature, it’s also remote controlled so you don’t even have to get of your chair.
The only negative is that it comes with a European plug so you have to change that, or use an adapter before you can use it.
