Type of review

Bought to heat a small lobby and rarely used. The heater turned itself off after only a few seconds of operation. I contacted customer service who immediately sent a replacement which also broke right away so I just threw it away believing this model has a high failure rate which is why they were so willing to send a replacement.

Pros
  • Suitable for many people
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Nice but the heating function no longer works

I love the sleek design of this heater. It's easy to assemble and I love all the colors and the different settings that are easy to adjust with the remote. However, the keep-warm function no longer works. I was so disappointed because the back bedroom it was placed in always seems cooler than the rest of my house. Although it works like a cool light now, it's useless for what I need it for.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models

Huge warmth in a compact size

Generates incredible warmth! I have it set to 65° and have to run it for a maximum of 20 minutes and my room is very hot! Overall I love this item. However, it requires 2 people to assemble and unless you are "dexterous" or "not mechanical" it can be a little tricky to put together! I like the ability to change the color of the flame along with the color of the bed to suit my mood. maybe in! I rarely use the side lighting function, but this function is good too!

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Insecure

Flames don't work best for heating, cooling and air quality

2015 from Costco while I lived in Tampa, it worked great for almost 6 years and then the heating stopped. Didn't have to use the heat often, maybe that's why it lasted so long. Switched to TN where it was used more and stopped after 2 years which seems common according to other reviews. The lights were still on so you could still enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Moved to Michigan and decided to buy another one to keep warm as well. After assembling and checking all the options, the flame didn't…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Bought for old

Don't waste your money

This is a highly unreliable product. Customer service is good but not very good at listening to problems. I originally purchased from Costco in 2012. lasted almost 10 years. I was so pleased with my purchase that I purchased a replacement from Revain. (December 17, 2017) Unfortunately, the exchange didn't even last a year. GHP Group happily replaced it with two units that didn't work (almost a month). Then one that worked for another season. I just plugged it in for the first time this season…

Pros
  • High marks for tester support and durability
Cons
  • Some bugs

Short lifespan in heating, cooling and air quality

I love these heaters as space heaters and for atmosphere. The slim profile against the wall is a really nice perk, allowing you to place it almost anywhere you can find space and giving off enough heat for a good sized room. But the last one lasted two years, almost a day. Since it is only used in winter, it has a lifespan of about one year. The previous one lasted 3-4 years but I was in a much warmer climate so it was less useful. Again probably about a year of life. The first (slightly…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • sad packaging

Beautiful fireplace, great customer service from Muskoka

We bought one of these fireplaces as a gift for our son and his wife a few years ago. They love the way it looks and also how well it heats their family room. We decided to stop using our wood-burning fireplace due to pollution and couldn't even use it on the nights we needed it the most because those nights were always "no-burn nights". So we ordered one of these fireplaces to use in our wood-burning fireplace. Although it's not installed yet, we tried it and it works fine. However, when it…

  • This is amazing
