Replacement not as good as old one
We are full time RVers living and traveling in our 5th wheel. We had an electric fireplace by this same company that heated really well, but it finally but the dust, so we ordered this one that showed the same dimensions as our previous one. Shopping was great and we received the new fireplace sooner than expected, but after unpacking and placing it in the space the old one was in, there was a gap. My husband was able to retrofit it to fit into the cabinet. The next morning was chilly so we turned on the new unit to the same setting we used on the old one: 68 degrees with high fan speed. We could hardly detect any heat unless we got right up beside it and after several hours of use, the inside temperature only rose a couple of degrees. The old fireplace would heat up our space by several degrees. We're disappointed in this one but will probably keep it and supplement heat with our space heaters since it's would probably cost a lot to return it. If you're looking for a fireplace to really heat your space, this one won't be the one you want. If you just want it for the aesthetics, the flame is pretty and has three different colors to choose from. If you stand right by it, you'll feel a little heat coming out but don't expect it to heat your space alone.
