92% of customers on Home Depot recommend this fireplace, with one user waxing lyrical about how easy the fireplace is to control and how beautiful it looks.

Another users says the same, but warns other customers to plan how and where to hide the cable, as this fireplace plugs into a socket and you won’t want meters of cable running along the wall. That seems to be the only down side with this model, but it is a big factor in the fireplace’s overall position in the room, and also in its aesthetics.

Several users cite the fact that the fireplace can be used without the heat element, as it creates a ‘really nice ambiance’ in their living space.
