Firstly, what I don't love: 1. Little bit, but normal noises from fan and from unit itself as thermostat turns it on and off to maintain set temperature. Fan quieter than one in my previous wood burning stove. 2. Flames not as pretty and variable as previous wood stove. 3. Gas prices supposed to jump this winter. What I do love: 1. That it does maintain a constant temperature per thermostat, so I don't go from too cold to too hot. And can be changed with the handy remote ad lib. 2. Pretty enough. 3. I love not having wood delivered, stacked, stored and brought in constantly during the cold. Wanted convenience. What I might spend on gas I'm saving on convenience. Well worth it!
