I think I would honestly give this about 4.5 stars. It’s a really slick unit and a great size. I love all the color variations with the flame And that you can set them high or low.  I also really like that it has both the remote and the control panel on the front. I think my favorite part, however, is the fact that you can have it on without the heat going. So you get the ambience of a fire without feeling like you’re being sweat out of your house.
 I will say the one issue that I have with it is the finish on the enclosure.  It’s a very matte, which looks beautiful, but it’s also pretty hard to clean definitely wash your hands before assembling or taking out of the wrapping.  this may not be the best choice for you if you have toddlers with sticky fingers.
