Review: Excellent Product. Love this Fireplace. - We purchased the 60" in January 2023 and today it still functions l like new. Love this fireplace. It gives a very modern vibe, looks great and, it works perfect and is quality built, quiet. It operates perfect. We were able to easily mount to the wall and hang it with no problem. It can also be recessed into a wall. The flames are realistic can be set at different speeds/heights and we love how not only can you change the colors of the rocks but the flame colors can be changed as well. The heater is an extra bonus for a warm cozy room vibe especially during movie night or watching sports. Price was reasonable. Review: Highly recommend! Covenant and cool product! - Here is a thing, I am a type of person who considers cost-effectiveness very much. The price of this brand is very suitable, so I chose this one. After I placed the order, I received the package in the third day after I placed the order. There is a manual, a remote control, and a bag of things similar to crystals in the box. After the simple installation was completed, I turned on the fireplace, as I said in the video, you have many choices of flame color, and you can change the background color and adjust the flame speed. It is looks very cool. And after about a few seconds, I felt the heat coming out of the fireplace. Also this fireplace has an automatic timing function, so when you go to bed at night, set it up, and when the time is up, the fireplace will automatically shut down, so you will sleep very comfortably. And the fireplace is very quiet, almost no noise, if you are not too close to the fireplace, you will not hear anything. So even if you use it in the bedroom, the noise of the fireplace will not affect your sleep. Thus, I would definitely recommend you to buy this fireplace, it’s a cool product and super convenient to use! About two months ago, I already uploaded some of my thoughts about this product, but now I want to share little more about it. The night in my city is getting colder and colder, so I use this heater more and more frequently now. Overall, this fireplace still gave me a good experience. The design of the remote control is very simple, and all functions are clearly marked on the remote control. I haven't read the instruction manual before using the remote control, but I can still use the remote control very well. The sound of the product is still a little bit. When you turn on the flame, there will also be a sound. I'm not sure if the seller is imitating the sound of the flame, because the sound of the flame is not obvious. When you turn on the heater, the sound will become more obvious. This is an inevitable sound. There is a motor in the fireplace. When you turn on the heater, the motor will start to work, which inevitably produces a little sound, and the fireplace has an air outlet, which is not a closed space, so the sound will be louder. But according to my personal experience, as I said in my last comment, as long as you are a little farther away from the fireplace, it is difficult for you to hear the sound of the fireplace. So the noise generated by this fireplace will not affect you watching TV or talking to others at all. I want to give a general explanation of all brands of these electric fireplace heaters. They are inserted into ordinary wall sockets. Your ordinary wall socket can only provide so much electricity, so it can only provide so much heat. They provide exactly the same heat as the 40-dollar basic electric heaters you may put on the bathroom floor. An electric fireplace like this cannot heat your whole house. They are all very beautiful electric heaters. They are a supplementary heat to some cold places in your home. One advantage of installing a heater on the wall is that you are unlikely to drop something on it and cause a fire, and children and pets will not overturn it.If you want an electric heater that can heat the whole house or even a large room, you must buy more powerful things and let the electrician wire you. You can't run so much energy through ordinary home wiring. I shared this fireplace with my friends, and I bought another one. ## Features - Ultra-Slim Frameless Design – Only 3.86 inches thick with a nearly invisible bezel, our Smart Electric heater screen is designed to give a seamless full view of the realistic flames.
