Smaller heater, yet so much output. Heated my whole living room about 18'x20'. Took the morning chill off very quickly. Like that the heat comes out of upper area of heater face, instead of down below the ambient realistic looking fireplace, like most other of these types do. Shorter in stature than most standing only about 13" tall. Assembly was very easy, only have to put legs on. There is o timer on this, but it has 3 on/off buttons. One for the flame look only, one for 750watts, and one for 1500watts. Gets hot enough starting on highest output can turn down to only the lower setting soon enough. Does not take up a lot of space so can be used in living rooms, bedrooms, and even in an RV. I have 5 other heaters with the "flame" look and this is my favorite by for, in just the way it looks.
