Query: Realistic flames, underwhelming heat

Bought this unit just before new year's and amazon got it to me in 3 business with free shipping! Flames are very realistic for a cheap fireplace and I like the remote and thermostat on this model. We're using this fireplace in a 500 square foot living/dining area, so the best I can say is that it took the chill out of the small section where it's located. If you stand a foot away it does warm your body, however because the fan is on the bottom and the legs are short, a lot of the heat seems to stay low and go into the carpet right in front of the door. This spot will be cat or dog heaven for napping.This would probably work better in a bedroom or office where it could be used when you turn down your home thermostat. For $150 this is pretty much what I expected and it does cast a warm glow, especially at night.
