I really love the fireplace and it gives off quite a bit of heat.  My only complaint is that it turns on automatically sometimes.  When I called, they said it might be interfering with a ring doorbell or Alexa, but I don't have either one of those.  They are sending me a new heating insert and we will see how that one works.  Overall, I love the way it looks and am satisfied with using it for supplemental heat on a cold day!
