Electric Fireplace Logs Inserts Heater with Remote Control for Home Decor | 5 Flame Brightness, 24H Timer, Overheating Protection, 1500W/750W Adjustable Heat Settings for Home & Office, Black

I bought it mainly because of the appearance, but it ended up surprising me because of how well it heats. In a few minutes the room feels much more comfortable. The effect of the flames is very nice and gives a relaxing atmosphere, even when I don't use the heating.

I only took off a star because of how noisy the heater is. It sounds like a space heater. I think some crackling noise options would really make this a 5 star product for the price. There are 5 flame settings. I think it is very relaxing and enjoyable. There are 2 heat settings. High and low. It heats up my downstairs area pretty quick. With it on for about 30 min, my hvac system hasn’t kicked on at all and it’s freezing here. Like many other reviewers, I didn’t want to drop a ton of money to get a gas insert so this was an affordable option. And I don’t like messing with firewood. This is perfect for what I was wanting and in my budget. UPDATE: One year later still working as new! Upgraded to 5 stars for longevity 🔥

look very real fire logs, heated nice looking feel cozy no mess just turn it on and done

After getting the bad news from an inspection that our fireplace needed $5k+ worth of repairs to render it safe for burning wood, I decided to cut my losses and buy one of these heaters so I could still have some ambiance in our living room. This heater is not perfect, but I believe most of the similar heaters will suffer from the same issues. Pros: lightweight, gives off good heat, has two heat settings, remote control makes it easy to use, and I feel that the light is bright and about as realistic as you could ask for. Generally pretty quiet (see below). Minor cons: the fan in mine seems to be a little off-balance, or one of the screws holding it in is loose - if it's not sitting on a perfectly flat surface, it has a very loud rattling noise as a result. I have this sitting on some bricks in my fireplace and was able to fix it by stuffing some fiberglass insulation under the middle to put gentle pressure against the area where the rattling came from. This might be fixable by opening it up the unit and tightening some screws. The light on mine had also come loose during shipping, I was easily able to snap it back into place by removing the top cast resin piece, which is held in by four screws. The blower output is very low to the ground and blows at a slight upward angle away from the heater. There is nothing normally wrong with this, but if you have doors on your fireplace, you will likely have to elevate it a bit to get the airflow past the lower bezel of the door frame (hence the bricks). It's clearly listed in the description as a 5.9 foot cord, so this one is on me - unless you have a receptacle very close to your fireplace, you'll need an extension cord, which is not ideal at best and dangerous at worse when using a space heater. Make sure you use at minimum a 14/3 gauge cord (12/3 is best) if you need one and plug it directly into the receptacle, not a power strip. Basically all of these have too-short cords and IMO that's fairly irresponsible of the manufacturers. Measured with a watt meter and the light on the brightest setting, it uses about 720 watts on low and 1370 watts on high. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase. It's a handsome heater and I hope we will get many hours of ambiance and warm space out of it.

I was looking for something to put in my wood-burning fireplace that would be a cleaner and more convenient option. I am SO happy with this purchase! It was the easiest installation, taking me 3 seconds to pull it out of the box and slide it into the fireplace. The lights really mimic a real fire, and it heats my 750 sq ft condo quickly. You can turn the heat setting off and just have the cozy vibe if you're warm enough. Noise level is little to none - a soft whirring noise only while the heat setting is on but completely quiet when the heat is off. The only thing I would wish for is that it made a little crackling fire sound, but besides that, it's the perfect insert!!

Love this fire place insert. Easy to install- just place in fireplace and plug it in. Different flame settings you can adjust - no odor. Puts out good heat for small room.

I bought this for my sister due to heater going out. Couldn’t have been a worse time. She is very happy with this fireplace. She tells me it kept her toasty warm until her heater was up again. She likes to just sit and watch the realistic flames. Easy to move around from bedroom to living area. The remote control came in handy. Nothing to not like and the price was great.

It started out so lovely, easy and putting out good heat, and then the beautiful dancing flames just stopped, with a single distinct click noise, after 2 hours of being plugged in and being turned on for the first time, the flame effect stopped. I bought this for my daughter as a Christmas present, a couple of months ago, and have had it safely in the original box, in a safe, undisturbed place until making the nice and easy 3 hour trip yesterday, and then she opened it last night 12/22, so we could enjoy it this whole Christmas week and New Years, and wow, so disappointing for all of us! The box was perfect, no damage at all. The snug styrofoam packing was perfect as well, and only two pieces; the fireplace and the remote! So couldn't be easier to set up, and it looked and worked beautifully for 1 kid movie, then the flames stopped with a snap noise. We tried unplugging it, and letting it rest, thinking perhaps it over-heated, even though the glow and heat were still working. We even left it off overnight and still no flames when turning it back on this morning. The heat and glow work, but no flames, which truly is what makes it look so real, when working. Upon turning the unit over, we can see the turning piece continues to turn, but the bar with the flickering detail has disconnected, and no visible sign of how it was connected originally. I read a lot of reviews before buying this one. The dancing flames is what sold me, as it truly made it look so authentic! I am hoping the company will reach out and replace! 🙏🏻 And send replacement quickly for Christmas!! 🙏🏻✨🎄 Or even New Years!
