3D Electric Fireplace Heater Review

Gain Personal Power Through Horse Archery
Thank you for sharing. This is exactly the type of info I was looking for when I had my first CIDP relapse this Jan. I also have to admit I was terrified of IVIG. But it has literally changed my life. I feel so grateful for it. Also, a fellow equestrian. Miss it so much!
I wish doctors didn't take so long to diagnose things like this. It's like the pcp can't diagnose neurological issues, but they take so long to send you to a neurologist.
@@dkasper3267 it took me over 6 years and 3 neurologists to finally figure out my issue 😥
@@survivingthriving3131 I'm sorry 😞 I'm glad you are getting treatment. So many doctors don't even think about CIDP.
@@dkasper3267 What helped me more is eating microgreens.
@@survivingthriving3131 it's truly amazing how many people with autoimmune conditions are helped through diet.
May I ask you why you are taking these treatments but they want me to do this but I have Levy Body Dementia so I’ve read all about this I don’t see where this will help me because I’ve research this deeply
His was caused by Covid vaccine.
So much fun!

that pencil sharpener idea is great , beats me and the pocket knife and candle wax , cheers from the Aussie Outback , see old dogs CAN learn new tricks , Cheers Ma'am
Continue learning!
Love this, the dollar tree has pretty much everything on a budget. 😀
Yes, it does! Sometimes you have to think outside the box!
Thank you for this video, Stacey! So happy for you that you were able to get this infusion and that you are responding favorably to the treatment. 😊
Thanks! It's been an experience for sure . . .
Please like the video!
My husband was diagnosed with CIDP 3 years ago and he gets IVIG every 3 weeks and he does great. The only side effect he has had is maybe nausea after his infusion week but he has done great on it. We are just so happy he is doing good. He does every 3 weeks 5 days a week. Sometimes it can go in remission but not always.
Going to try to figure out the setting where it turns on and off at a specific temperature, have not been able to.... if i can figure it out during this couple of days then i am keeping it.. helps to know it is possible
It doesn't go by the temperature in the room (it doesn't have an an actial thermostat). It works like a timer. Changing the dial changes how long the heater cycles on stays on for. Like if I put it on a lower setting, it might come on every 15 min for 5 min and if I turn it up, it comes on more frequently and stays on longer ea h time). If you set the dial to full blast, it stays on all the time. It took me a bit to use it to see where to place the dial to keep the area warm.
Well, done!
Thank you!
I’m thankful for your Peaches. The best fruit!
I love Peaches!
When you wash the apricots, is there any special way to do this?
Nope! I just wash with water. You can use a fruit/veggie wash if you want. We don't sray pesticides so just water is good enough.
You make it all look so tasty ❤
It is! It seems intimidating, but if you break the steps down, it just takes practice!
So it is energy efficient
Not sure.
So it is energy efficient
I think so
Doesn't work great in my shed, that might just be because I need to insulate more though.
Probably!
I know very well….. believe me! Even know I struggle with my life …
It can be hard for sure! Reach out if you have questions
How can THIS video only have 8 likes??? You have it in a nutshell. I can't wait to get out. And listening to you is like a checklist of things that have happened to me and are still. And you are helping me think of details I might not have thought of
I actually made a list of all I needed to do to get out! Sometimes we get so overwhelmed we can't take action. Thus helped me so I know it can help others!
Excellent Review. I'm currently in a rental with no fireplace. I can't decorate for Christmas without a fireplace. I will put my manger on top.
It does help get the holiday vibe!
I literally have no options he made sure of that
They are good to take away our options and make us feel stuck. You may need outside help . . .
Ive had mine for about 3 or 4 years now my flames are not as good as yours but niw it only runs fir about 3 min and turns off im trying to fix it with no luck
Sounds like maybe you got a lemon. I used mine 2 winters almost non stop without issues.
Love/Hate this heater. Looks great and worked like a charm at first. Now, it run for about 2 hours then the heating rods and fan will quit and it's done. The light flames will continue to work. Once it's unplugged for an hour or so, it will turn back on and run for a couple more hours. Don't have a clue why. I'm sure a heater/fan replacement would cost as much as a new one.
I have used it all day and night without issues.
I posted a vlog where I did horse archery bc u inspired me!🧡
Fantastic! Send me link if you don't mind!

We just got this from Walmart today and we've just put it together and we love it. Was 92.00 with the tax. My only question is what kind of bulbs are used for the light? I had a metal electric fireplace awile back and it used the same kind as regular bulbs that look like teardrops. Regardless.... We are loving this one ❤️💯🔥🔥❤️💯
Without taking it apart. I am not sure the type of bulb but I agree it is most likely a reg bulb.
Not sure, but probably a regular bulb
Does it get really 🔥 hot?
Yes it does.
If it's on hi it makes a 20 by 20 room way too hot. I only set mine on a 1/4 to 1/2 strength. It actually heats up my whole 800ft apartment.
@@survivingthriving3131 ok thanks
Hi is the heating element hot to the touch? Could it be on low carpet?
Yes it is hot to the touch. I have mine on low carpet, just make sure it doesn't tip over as it can start a fire.
Great review. On the coldest nights this thing doesn’t even need to be on high! It works too well!!!! Had it on high when it was 30 degrees and I was roasting. Worth the money!
Good to hear! I have it in my basement now and it heats up a large room and Gets too hot on full blast so I have to turn it down.
I just recently purchased one of these myself from Walmart they had two left and I was actually in Walmart to get something completely different but I couldn't pass it up I've been wanting one of these for my fifth wheel RV for the longest time I just now decided to get one I just put everything together and connected everything and tested it out it really works well I really love it and it actually does blow out a lot warmer air than my basic space heater that I used to have which is interesting to me I just want that little piece of home feeling with a fireplace for the upcoming holidays I was a little afraid of putting it on the floor of course because there is carpet in the RV but it stands up so high that I don't think it bothers it any👍👍
I love mine! Have it on now in my motorhome and I agree it gives a cozy home feel. It heats the floor well which can get realky cold with the cold air blowing under the rig and it helps my water lines not to freeze which are in the floor. I just wish it had a safety shut off tip feature! I just don't leave it on if I am not there bc I have a cat and dog and don't want to chance it might get nocked over and then I use my other heater that does have the safety tip feature.
@@survivingthriving3131 yes I agree with you a hundred percent I also have two dogs myself but they're pretty well trained not to mess with anything but you are right on the automatic cutoff switch it does say something about it has a feature about an overheating deal on it but I'm not sure what that's all about but anyways I'm going to enjoy this thing to the fullest thank you again for your review it really helped me out to choose one of these nice fireplaces
Definitely don't stand for these red flags! So true!
We need to learn to spot them and listen to our gut about people. They do tell us their true colors but we sadly don't listen until it's too late.
As I need a heater at times I definitely like the look of a fireplace. $78 is a great price but at my Walmart here in Pennsylvania it is at a $96.87 At that price I am looking at other options. Thank you for your video.
My price must have been a promotion. It is quite a lot to spend for just a heap source when you can do it so much cheaper with other options but if you want the esthetics of a fireplace this really does make you feel that it is a real fireplace.
What if you are watching someone who is in an unhealthy relationship, what would be the best way to bring that up to them? Would love a video on this topic
Start by asking open ended questions about how they feel their relationship is going to see if they even realize they're in a toxic relationship. If they don't think they are you could offer your insights from your advantage point. Some people don't even realize is even realized the relationship is toxic because that is all they have ever known since childhood.
For those out there that believe it is too hard and messy to leave, I know! But you can do it even if you need to ask for help! Stacey do you have any Resources to help people in this kind of situation? Websites or anything like that? If they feel they don't have the support from friends or family?

So sad. I hope her story at least gives one person the strength they need to get help.

Awesome! Love that it is functional and super cute for your small space
Do you know what type of light is used for the logs/flame???? I've been looking at this stove at my local Wallyworld, they are charging $89 for it but no where on the box does is say if that's LED lighting for the log area or what it is? Help!!! LOL
I did not see that on the Box either I am not sure but maybe I can peek inside and take a look and find out and get back to you.
@@survivingthriving3131 I went ahead and bought it yesterday $96! ha, well guess they didn't mark the price sticker correctly, cause on the website it is $96 as well. I like it, i did order 6" risers for the feet from Amazon to give it more height, it looks better than other's I've seen on Amazon, some have a very faint looking flame and i wouldn't want to pay that much for them. Btw, i don't need the heating unit at all! I have a real wood burning stove in the sun room which heats through the whole house AND a gas log stove in the living room, this is for decoration on the other side of my living room for my white birch LED trees that I have through out the entire year in my living room....wish I could post a pic here but, oh well. lol
@@aaronkeil4412I didn't take it apart, so I can't tell what kind of light is in the logs but there is a wheel in it that projects out the flames. I did see the same unit st another Ealmart for $98 so I guess I got lucky with the pro e I got mine at!
I remember he slowly made me believe everything was my fault and controled every little thing I did. I had to text him “A” when I got to school, “B” when I arrived in the building, and “C” when I was sitting in my class. If I forgot to do this he would scare me by saying I’d be raped and kidnapped in the parking lot and he wouldn’t know. By the time anyone knew I was gone I’d be dead in a back alley. So glad I was able to get out and away!
Wow, that is crazy scary. The emotional fear they put on us is horrifying.
Thank you for sharing ❤️ Gabby’s passing was so tragic
It was and this is a wake up call that is that emotional abuse and verbal abuse is something we need to address.
You’re living Jeremy and I’s dream 😍
It isn't for everyone but it sure does simplify things on one level. You just have to learn how to live tiny and adjust your lifestyle a little bit!
You did such a great job turning this small space into a beautiful little home 🥰
Thank you! Did a lot of research to see what I wanted to do. I have no experience with remodeling so if I can do it - anyone can!
I wasn't in my toxic relationship long, but I had to text him to break up. I was too scared he'd get mad and come at me. I'm glad I did it that way cause he left me a nasty nasty voice-mail.
You really never know how they will react. Good thing you ended it before you were in it many years! One of the times I told my ex I was done by phone, he showed up at my work (in the HR dept no less) and pretend to try to kill himself. Caused a big ruckus and was embarrassing bc no one knew how bad it was at home.
Luckily I wasn't in a toxic relationship for a long time... but definitely long enough to have issues from it... I didn't realize where some of the negative emotions were coming from. My relationship now is amazing and happy but there are somethings that I still have ptsd from. After watching these videos I know where the negative feelings stem from and didn't realize it was from that short relationship I had. I ended that relationship because he did not respect my boundaries at all!
Most don't realize the damage that is done (even if the toxicity and abuse doesn't go on too long). Glad you got out and have a great relationship now. Boundaries are so important to enforce. Some try to just forget the toxic relationship, but if you don't deal with how it affects you, it will rear it's ugly head in future relationships.
Is it possible to spot a toxic relationship in the beginning before it gets serious? That would be an interesting topic 🤔 if it is possible
Yes! That is one of the topics I plan to cover so stay tunned!
Yes! I want to see a video on Motor home living! Also it would be so cool to see before and afters on how you made it your own 😍🤩
Check out that video! ruclips.net/video/aHhyPO11zC8/видео.html
I posted a video, check it out!
I find it so crazy that you felt that way in your past because when I see you I see a very strong woman who I look up to soooo so much! You're a bad ass !
It's crazy how much shit you will put up with with someone and not even realize it until you have moved on and are now with someone who makes you realize what a real and healthy relationship looks like!
Awwww, thanks! Even the strong have weak times that we learn from!
@@survivingthriving3131 so true! It's the things Behind the scenes that make us strong and realize we can bounce back and make things better even when it seams impossible!
Interesting points 🤔 and very true!
How many of these Characteristics would your partner need to show for you to consider getting help or leaving them? I'm strictly just Curious, the person I am with now is wonderful! But my ex showed a lot of these traits!
That is up to each person. Some of these are worse than others. If you are unhappy in the relationship, there is a problem. My ex had all of these but even 2 or 3 would be enough for some to leave the relationship. It comes down to mutual respect.
@@survivingthriving3131 so basically if it is enough to make you not feel comfortable, or down Consistently, even of they are showing just one of these, that that is enough for you to move on.
What is your gut telling you? We sometimes don't listen to our gut reaction but it is usually right. Lying or cheating on their own can be enough to leave. It all depends on how much you are willing to tolerate. If you are uncomfortable, you have to ask why. No relationship is perfect 100% of the time but if the bad outweighs the good or you are being abused. It's time to end it.
@@survivingthriving3131 100% agree! Trust your gut!
Love how strong you are! 💪
Thanks! I hope I can help others see that they don't have to live with a toxic person.
Thanks, it would appear that way to the outside. But inside I can be a mess!
@@survivingthriving3131 I feel like there are people out there that probably don't even know that they are in that type of relationship, the type that they should get out of. Looking back on my own past makes me feel so happy that I did what felt impossible and I found a way to get out. At the time I knew I was unhappy but I didn't know how toxic my relationship was until it was over and I was able to look at it from the outside, blows my mind 🤯 so yes I think your videos could really help someone realize that, hey! You're not crazy, you're not alone, you can do it!
@@survivingthriving3131 🥺💓💞 And that is why these types of situations are good to talk about!
🥰
When he got mad at ME for having a flat tire! So glad I have moved from him and I am now in a healthier relationship with someome else 😌
Glad you finally left. Like the flat tire was your fault - ridiculous but a toxic person will find any reason to put you down.
@@survivingthriving3131 very true and you can't argue or make a person like that see reason
Using you as an emotional punching bag is not ok.
