    Good for the money

Had difficulty with fan mechanisim, has to be seated just right to go on/off. Overall happy with the product though.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Easy to install but HEAVY
  

*by J***F on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 11, 2020*

FYI... I am not a general contractor. I'm just a guy that doesn't want to get the shaft. Everyone was telling me that it would cost between $6-10 grand to get a non-working fireplace back into working order. No way!! So I decided to do it myself. When this arrived, I was alone and had to move this heavy unit by myself. Fortunately I had some 1" dowel rods to roll it into the house. The company that I had contracted to work with me changed their mind and said that they would be blacklisted if they helped me. So I did it with the help of a relative. He brought the lift so we could put the liner in. He helped me to lift the unit onto the marble hearth. Other than needing help for the liner and lifting it, this was very easy to install. We have a 100 year old house and it is about 1000 sq feet on the first floor. This helped drastically with our electric bill for the short amount of time we used it before spring/summer hit with the help of a smart thermostat and individual room sensors.

So far this product seems to be well built. However, I have not used it yet because it is summer 😉 I will update the review after this upcoming winter season.
