From a distance of about 2 meters, the flame looks deceptively real. I'm very excited and closer than 2 meters is one eh rarely before. Furthermore, one can turn to two heat levels of 1000 watts. This works similar to a heater or hairdryer. The heating power we find very pleasant and heat in the evenings so that our 25 sqm large living room. The fan noise is easily audible but not interfere again from a distance of 2 meters.
All in all, a clean and beautiful solution when you do not want a real fireplace or can. In addition, it is much less dangerous than with liquid or gel fuel fireplaces, especially when children in the household.
