Review on Kismile 3D Infrared Electric Fireplace Stove, Freestanding Fireplace Heater With Realistic Flame Effects, Portable Indoor Space Heater With Overheating Safety System, Adjustable Brightness (23.6 Inch) by Susan Forrest

It puts out a nice amount of heat and can warm up a medium sized room, but stays cool to the touch. I was worried that the vent was on the bottom, close to the carpet, but I ran it all night and the carpet stayed room temperature. Very happy with my purchase.Easy to set up, arrived earlier than expected. The flames and glowing embers look beautiful. I guess you can tell they're not real if you're trying, but the general effect is very cozy and real enough. The glass and metal door help the effect.The heater fan does make a low fan noise. It is soft and I find it relaxing. It's about the same level as our regular home heating vents. When the heat is off, you can hear a slight clicking noise. I'm not sure what that is, but I'm guessing it's made by the mechanism that produces the flame effects. It isn't noticeable when the heater is on.
