I see the fan blower has 2 settings -- does it also provide flame without heat for ambiance? Is the flame real looking?

Hi there....yes the fireplace provides flame without heat, which is nice in the summer if you just as t to create a nice ambiance or set a nice mood. The flames are relatively real looking....but still not quite as real as the really expensive fireplaces.....still it was definitely real enough for me.....and a decent price.

Yes it does. You can turn the flame on without having the blower on in the summer to just have that Great Look in your house.

The flame looks good, and yes it can be run without heat on. With heat turned on it works very well to heat up the room.

No this don't come with a blower but you don't need it. The heater provides plenty of heat and the blower would be to much besides this is radiant heat

Sorry Heidi, I'm having computer problems... so as I was saying, the blower makes a big difference. It is sold separate. It spreads the heat to the room much better, but will work just fine without.

The heat that it puts out is better than I expected and the realistic flame is a really fun feature! I have two and love them.

We had the heater and blower installed by the gas company. The guy told us the blower wouldn't do much good. He said a ceiling fan is all you need. But, since we had already purchased the blower, we had him install it anyway. Now that we've used it a few times, we admit he was right. If you have a ceiling fan, forget the blower. It doesn't blow with much force at all....kinda pitiful, really. And it's a bit noisy, too, so save your money & just use a ceiling fan to circulate the heat.

It heats more than it says.. It puts out plenty of heat without a blower...This type of heat heats everything around it. Its the best I ever had.

It heats up pretty quickly and does a nice job heating a room. The fan is quiet. We like it so much we also bought an electric fireplace insert (another brand). The fan on it is much noisier and it does not heat up as fast. As far as how far the dimplex blower-- I don't know---6-8 feet maybe.

The "flame" works by remote control and it has three levels of brightness. The flame and the heat are controlled by two separate buttons on the remote so you can have the ambiance of the flame with or without the heat. I love the unit and use it all the time. As I live in Florida, on chilly evenings it's just enough to take the chill from the room without having to turn on the Central heat throughout the house.

We use it as a heater, but we just pulled it out to try and I wouldn't recommend to use it as a fan. A) it blower isn't strong enough in my opinion and B) the air is warm. It's a good heater but you would be better off buying a cheap fan then using this to cool yourself off.

You can hear the blower thats all. I don't know how there could really be a decent heater where you did not hear a blower. other than that no noise and heats and looks great

Yes it does have a blower, however you can't adjust it. You can adjust the temperature and you can adjust the flame intensity. You can also choose to run the fireplace at 750w or 1500w. Hope this helps. I love mine. Does a nice job in taking the chill off when the wind is blowing out of the east.

No, it has flame only, flame and 2 heat settings. It may have a shut off if it is knocked over, I'm not sure, but otherwise it is on or it is off.

Yes it has its own variable speed fan blower that it uses to keep the fire at the temperature of your choice. It is very good for slow cooking.

It does come with a blower fan which does push a fair amount of air. If you have a large area to heat like me, I added a large quiet circulation fan above it to aid in room circulation.

There is no flame..only a heating element for the heater...it is adjustible. And the appearance when on is pleasurable...it makes the sound of flames and glows like a flame..and it warms my living room ...I have not used my apartment heating at all...no need to.saved a few dollars on heating bills. Overall I would recommend it..I am happy with it. It does have a thermostat..pleased with that too. I luv my fireplace...you can use it with or without heat..I like that....

The heat comes out the top, it's pretty warm. I put mine in a real fireplace and it looks good. The flames are realistic looking. I would purchase this item again. But it was damaged when I recieved it. But I glue'ex it back on and works great.

The flame has movement. It is one of the most realistic units I've seen. My family is very pleased with it.
