Likes: Perfect size for our house, 2 story. With the heat pump off on a recent cold night (29 degrees) 71 downstairs, 68 up stairs, blower off. I'm sure with more wood in firebox before turn-in, and blower on, we could make it even more cozy. The Declaration looks great, and it was toasty in LR, again W/O blower


Dislikes: None yet. I have high hopes..


Comments: Had to lose top three rows of firebrick to fit unit in, but we will be in this house for years, so no worries. Installation in general was excellent, and I am feeling good about my decision to go with the Lopi product. Now, I will turn my focus to scrounging for some decent wood, or maybe even paying for some for this coming fall/winter.
