Yes, I have one of those. For my part I would be happier to have steam heat throughout the house and no fire place, but steam heat is not a real option in the Southern USA and Alice likes the fireplace.

We compromised on the gas logs because I refused to put up with the dust, ashes and inefficiency of a wood burning fireplace.

The heating from the fp is quite efficient since the flue is closed and the heat goes into the room and not up the chimney. It heats the room it is in and half of the floor above.

The remote is nice but is really just a gimmick. This feature has been available for at least 10 years.
