Costumer Reviews

This is the best heater we've owned. For it's size and output, it's truly amazing -- warm and cozy in appearance and function! Our experience with this seller is that they are efficient, courteous and very timely in answering questions about products (they have a live chat) and in shipping. It doesn't get any better than this! I highly recommend them AND the heater!

It's very pretty and works as advertised. While you can run the flame without the heater, there isn't an option to run the heater without the flame. I tried turning the dial all the way down on the flame 'brightness' knob and it pretty much went out, but the thing inside that makes the flicker was still rotating and there was a very faint light. I wonder how long the bulb inside will last? There are instructions on how to take the back off and put in a new one. It says it uses a 40 watt, E12 socket base light bulb (candelabra base, B bulb.) The instructions appear easy enough, take the back off, put in new bulb.

My only complaint is that the legs were hard for me to put on. I couldn't do it by hand with a screwdriver, it was like the holes were slightly too small for the screws. I had to get out the electric drill, put on a phillips head attachment, and really PUSH to get the screws in. Using that methon, two legs on one side went right on, but the two on the other side wouldn't accept the 3rd screw (same location on both legs) and I think it's that the hole isn't in exactly the right place. The legs are on and good enough to hold the unit, but I will have my husband do something about getting those two legs attached better. I called the customer service line and after waiting on hold for about 8 minutes I hung up. It is Christmas season, so maybe they are really busy. Or maybe they only have one person answering the phone. The legs are on and stable enough. Someone would have to really kick the two legs that are missing the 3rd screw to get them to move.

The unit is metal and the legs are heavy guage plastic that perfectly matches the look of the metal. They don't look like plastic.

The unit itself doesn't heat up, the casing of the blower doesn't even feel hot, but the metal on the underside of the unit directly above where the hot air blows out gets hot. Nothing else on the unit is hot. The legs are very cool to the touch. (But if I had a baby crawling around, I wouldn't want him to touch the bottom metal right above the heat output. Or, if he did, he wouldn't touch it for long.)

The door has an inside magnet that you don't see that keeps it shut. There's not a clip or anything holding the door shut. But it stays shut.

I am wondering what all that forced hot air will do to the antique cypress wood floors in our bedroom. Could it dry them out or harm them in any way? I might put the unit on a small rug to protect the wood directly in front of it.

I plan to turn off the main heater at night and see how we do with just this running in our bedroom, which is about 300 sq ft. Our main heater is zoned, so we only run the bedroom at night anyway. I'm wondering if this little unit will use less electricty than our home heater and keep the bedroom warm enough. I hope so. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and might get another for our den if I can see a difference in our electric bill.
