However, we did discover that this particular model doesn't offer the same level of warmth as our other picks. This is because it uses convection rather than radiant heating. We could feel warmth up to 4.5ft away, despite this. The unit has four distinct flame effects and can be controlled with a remote control. In terms of safety, this unit is protected against overheating and remains cool to the top of its hood, so you can display decor items on it.
