    It arrived fast. Assembly is minimal and if you read the instructions, set up and operation is easy. It produced none of the clicks and noises others have mentioned except when the thermostat switches on and off with a subdued soft click which is much quieter than I have found in other fan heaters. The thermostat is also more accurate than others I’ve had although the unit seems reluctant to switch on heat sometimes. The fan is very quiet when heating and can be used in a bedroom while sleeping. The ambient room temp and other info on the screen is useful although the green temp setting is hard to see. The flame effect could be a bit brighter for daytime use and I would like the option to switch it off when heat only is required as in a dark bedroom which is why I give only 4 stars. The chrome finish does not look cheap, but the do not cover sign is annoying (nanny state) so I will buy some matt black spray paint to cover it. I recommend this fire and will likely buy another in a few weeks for the living room.

    It looks good, heats the room and looks the part. Easy to install. Bought for my mums house. She is over the moon with it. The remote takes the effort out of getting up and down to change settings. Very realistic fire glow. Great value for money. Speedy delivery.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersFor the price, this is excellent value. Apart from plugging it in there is little installation required. The front grill is actally quite thin plastic, chrome plated. It is attached to the front with little magnets. It looks ok, but I think it would be easily broken if not taken care of. We bought this particular unit because it resembled the old gas fire it replaced. We found that the old brass grill from the previous fire fitted perfectly instead.
    Looking at the other reviews/ questions, yes, the white ‘do not cover’ notice does spoil the effect. However, the paint on the hood is black satin, and the notice could be painted out. The LED display does go off after a few seconds. While on ‘standby’ the standby light remains on. The LED flame effect can be used with the heating part off. Time and day was fairly easy to set, but it loses the information if the power fails or it is unplugged. The manual insists on called the ‘Day’ as the ‘Date’, which is confusing . You cannot set the ‘date’, but you can set the ‘day of the week’. There are 10 timer programs which include the day of the week, and times for on and off. Pressing the 1000w and 2000w buttons selects those heat settings, but the button has to be pressed again to turn one heat setting off before the other can be turned on. (A quirk you get used to)

    Power consumption . . . (Jan 2023 prices)
    Standby – 0.4w (24hrs a day – 1.16/year)
    Display only – 4.5w (8hrs a day – 4.30/year)
    1Kw setting – 1050w
    2Kw setting – 2012w

    A great little fire, and I am very pleased with it.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis fire is just used for display purposes, easy to install. The flames look realistic but would have liked them to be brighter. It does have a fan heater and the remote can be used to switch on and off. Overall we’re pleased with it and it suits our purpose.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersOnly one problem with this unit, the warning notice. Assumed it was a removable sticker but alas no. Certainly spoils the effect. Understandably there are people who walk among us that would cover the vent but surely have a sticker placed rather than a permanent stamp.

    Warning notice

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersReally like this fire looks nice when you have the flame effect on.
    Bit awkward to install with the fixing screws.
    And it has an odd click that comes and goes.
    But I still like the fire.

    For the price I paid, and, compared to the others in this price range, it’s a very good, attractive fire. The remote works very well and the flame effect is excellent. Recommended.

    Lovely fire but only thing I don’t like is the ‘DO NOT COVER’ warning which is printed on the front on the fire which can’t even be pulled off. Really makes the fire look cheap

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersMy sister in law is a vulnerable adult with health issues. This fire was installed to complement her new central heating system. Money is very tight so the fireplace was constructed out of scrap wood and a piece of brick effect wallpaper.

    Turning the fire on is easy although I am not sure why an item like this needs a clock and timer. But it’s there and the slightly lurid display vanishes after a couple of minutes.

    The flame effect is very much what you would expect.

    The temperature sensor is great as it prevents the heater from operating above a temperature you specify, so my sister in law can simply switch it on and off via the remote control and it will know whether or not to turn the heater on at the same time.

    Highly recommended for vulnerable people who have mobility issues.

    Good looking and easy to use, fan is quite noisy when heater is operating

    Looks good but don’t know how long this will last.
    Controls are a touch funny but once you get the hang of them you’ll find them ok.
    Put it on just to warm house up until the heating kicks in.
    Don’t normally put stuff on here but I found it helpful so thought I’d give an honest opinion on this product.

    Cheap fire that looks good and easy to fit.

    It is a lot quieter than I expected and am very pleased. The flames are very life-like and I had to tell a friend that it was actually artificial. Would definitely recommend.

    Cozy

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersNeeded to replace my old gas fire, decided to go electric. Liked the look of this fire straight away, wasn’t keen on the coal effect so for an extra 10 brought some heat resistant pebbles. The fire itself was so easy to install, that I did it on my own and I’m no diy person. Love you have the flame without the heat, makes the room nice and cozy. The in built timer is a bonus! Brilliant to have that you can set it on for anytime of day, this will be a god send when the cold night start to creep in as I have no central heating, i can now come home to a warm room. The timer does take a bit of working out too start with.
    The heating itself, works by room temperature for example if you want your room to stay at 24 if the fire is left on auto as soon as your room temperature drops too 22 the fire heater will turn on and goes off as soon as it hits 24. Saving on electricity. If you need it warmer just turn the temperature up, too warm turn it down . Remote control is very easy to use. The only noise from it is the heater itself when on and if you just have the flame effect, but to be honest after awhile you take no notice of it. Not been able to check the temperature out fully, but when I have had it on the room heats up quickly and this in an open planned small one bedroom house.

    Great fire

    I wanted to replace an old gas fire that had failed. I chose this one due to the separate flame-only effect which provides a nice ambience in the evening. Also, the fit was good for my needs. Easy installation. I need to organise the cabling on the right but there is more than enough length. I have found it to be quiet enough in light use. At the price I paid, I consider this to be a bargain. (Caveat – only been using it for 2 weeks – but so far, so good!)

    Great value, easy to use fire
