One person said: "This easy-on-the-eye heater is ideal for our conservatory, very easy to run at the correct temperature and certainly not unpleasant to look at. Seems cheap to run and is very efficient." Another wrote: "Stunning-looking electric chiminea. The real fire effect is mesmerising. Better than watching TV."

A third person commented: "Bought this for our conservatory, it looks great and has added a cosiness that was lacking. Definitely not disappointed with this purchase."

Some others disagreed slightly as one person said: "I love this heater. Look so pretty and warms the room quickly. More cost efficient than my electric radiator (I tested it). Only negative is it's quite difficult to assemble."

Another said: "Lovely once working. Difficult for me to fit legs but someone else did it quite quickly. Electric lead is very short and really needs to be a bit longer so heater can be positioned better."
