It’s not as smokeless as I was expecting though it is better than a regular fire pit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Amy, thanks for your feedback. If the FirePit's fan turns on and air comes out of the jets, it is working properly. The rest is up to fire building. You might find this video helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5OCli6meFc&t=12s
If you're still having trouble with smoke, please reach out to our support team! We'll happily guide you through the fire building process.
The firepit is easy to handle and use. I hope the fan holds up, it does not sound healthy when running for a period of time. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the fan issue.
Just test drove this last night and loved it. I didn't think the fan was going to be that big of a deal, but it really was. Helped when I got the fire going and helped again when the fire was dying out. And the handles stayed cool so we were able to move the pit. Great product for my backyard in the city.
This product is amazing. I have a giant fire pit in the backyard, but wanted something smaller, easier, and safer for when the kids are running around. This pit is ideal for casual fires and for teaching the kids some essential skills. Plus the tech is really cool. Highly recommend!
Looks good as separate pieces, however the power unit needs to be forced into place as the tabs on the pit itself don't line up. The grill top also is too narrow or the pit opening is too wide which allows the grill to fall in or slide off when adding material to the fire. I wish I could give this a better review but the quality control is just absent. It's like they didn't even test fit it before shipping.

Very under whelming for the price. Was extremely shocked at horn how small it actually was. It’s also not smokeless... definitely still has smoke
