I absolutey love this! For the price it’s brilliant the delivery was very quick. I love that it’s not too big it fits perfectly in my chimney area and it only requires two aa batteries for it. You can switch it on and off with a little button just underneath. The noise was fine I didn’t have any issues with the noise every now and again it would make spit noises to make it sound and appear realistic but other than that it isn’t like a loud and irritating noise whatsoever. Honestly it was worth every penny and it just adds so much coziness to a room.

A nice touch to the living room. Although, it is not a heater, it creates a nice relaxing, warming effect within the room. Similar to how laver lamps operate. This is operated by batteries, so you can just move it around wherever in your home. It's not too bright either, if you like to watch movies/TV in the dark. It is a cheaper alternative to the LCD heaters you can buy. So it's a budget, for the visual effects option.

This looked like it could be very good in principle. It was intended in my case as a fire grate insert to cheer up the fireplace for Christmas, and it’s a neat size - about 27cms long, 14and a half deep, 21and a half centimetres tall. The fire effect is bright and vaguely convincing and basically a bit of fun. Price reasonable compared with others. My first order arrived in its own box, no outer packaging at all, and whilst the packaging was undamaged, with the item tucked very neatly inside with foam packing that kept it from moving, when it was carefully removed from the box it clearly had something loose rattling around inside. A quick squint through a joint hole showed the ‘flame making’ mechanism had snapped. I couldn’t access the inside so - I sent it back. As it was not sold by Amazon I had to go through the palaver of finding a more substantial box to send it back in and taking it to the Post Office, though the return was quickly agreed by the seller and free postage supplied. Fair enough. More in hope than expectation, in the meantime I ordered for a second time. Same undamaged but vulnerable packaging, same apparently secure inner protection, but this time a snapped off piece of the frame already lying at the bottom of the packaging with some of it pushed into the foam as if the item had been forced in. An added 6” dangly bit of dry glue hanging inside the fake fire area spoilt the look a little. Initially I wanted to send it back and try again but just didn’t have the heart to find another box that would fit and then trudge back down to the post office. And for my purposes the broken frame won’t matter. So I’m keeping it. It looks, from the numbers bought and generally good reviews, that I’ve just been unlucky, and it is otherwise a fairly good, quiet, safe way to pretend you’ve got a nice fire in the grate on Christmas Day. If yours arrives undamaged, enjoy it!

Despite some of it's drawbacks I still leave 5 stars as I knew before I bought it of it's shortcomings. It is a lovely little thing (check it's size) and looks well by itself. The flame -or rather smoke effect is really good and easy on the eye. I saw a tear down of one of these on YouTube and it does use some clever technology - an array of leds below a rotating rod which has reflective wands attached. But because the effects rely on the internal rotating rod (motor) then expect some hum and a drain on batteries for sure. Also don't knock it around when it is working or you risk damaging the moving parts. The hum is only noticeable if you sit close to it but from across the room you'd really have to strain to hear it even if the room is totally silent. Because of the motor it does eat batteries. I rather use rechargeable but many electronic gadgets are designed for 1.5v standard alkaline batteries rather than 1.2v of rechargeable regrettably. Rechargeables will work but expect only about 2/3 hours of use. I suspect that 1.5v alkalines would give you twice that. So for occasional events it is ok but using as a door light over Christmas for example you would need a bucket of batteries, expensive and wasteful IMO. Still for the 11 euro it cost me it is a real keeper!

After reading the reviews, I was concerned it wouldn't work out of the box, but although I had to reseat the batteries, it worked great. Nice fire effect and it's silent. I'm giving it 3 stars because it's battery only and the on switch is awkwardly underneath the unit. It's a shame there are not better quality faux fires available on Amazon that are this small size. It's either £20 cheap things, or the full blown bigger ones that actually generate heat.

Shame as it’s a lovely size and feature but when I switched it on it was too noisy to enjoy

Very pleased with this product. The flame effect is excellent, and really cheers a room up. I found, as others have, that it clicked at first. I unscrewed the bottom, and it was the rotating spindle that had come out of place during transit. It's easy just to slip it into place, and since then there have been no problems. It's worth checking the measurements and imagining it in place before purchasing. It's not big, possibly smaller than you'd expect, but mine fits nicely into an empty fireplace. I have been surprised at how long the batteries have lasted, so far for a couple of weeks, a few hours each evening.

Lo usiamo nel periodo natalizio, ha un bello effetto.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit diesem Produkt, das Preis- Leistungsverhältniss stimmt für mich. Gute Qualität ich würde es wieder kaufen.

My husband likes it but I think its awful cheap and ugly. Therefore 3 stars.

Es muy real. Yo tengo alergia al humo y me gusta la chimenea, pero para que se vea bien, necesito dos talla L. Es puro plastico y va con pilas AA . Su valor real yo diria que son 10 euros. Pero me gusta mucho. Lo probaré a ver lo que duran las pilas. Compraria otro para llenar el hueco, pero 41 euros es muy caro por lo que es.

Alors au début lorsque je l’ai reçu je l’ai trouvé un peu petit je m’attendais à plus grand. Mais c’est super sympa ça fait un petit peu de lumière comme une veilleuse et c’est chouette ça fait bien comme un petit feu de bois. Je vous le recommande
