Great fire with options for logs or crystals included. We wanted logs and there are limited options for that, but this one exceeded my expectation. The heating element is nice and narrow allowing a great window to the fire itself which is more life-like than I thought it would be. Using the lights only is absolutely silent, the heater sounds like a desk fan heater, but that is expected. 9 options for colour and 5 levels of brightness to suit all needs. Absolutely recommended.
