Giantex 28.5" Electric Fireplace Insert, Wall Recessed/Mounted, Freestanding Fireplace with Remote Control, 3 Color Adjustable Flames, 2 Modes Heat, 8 H Timer, 5 Brightness Settings, 750/1500W Heater

Very beautiful and be peaceful time . Please follow all safety instructions , probably will need to buy and electric extension for more safety. I really love it, specially to give the family ambience together around the fireplace. Also is a heater , changing lights colors add to the insert more realistic lighting . Works really good and definitely gives You as Me that happiness we all desire . Excellent for a very realistic decoration when the light goes “ON” easy to asesembly

Great fireplace. It looks so real that when you touch the glass you expect it to be hot lol. It really is a realistic flame and heat output is fantastic. Looks more real than the more expensive ones. The only thing I wish is you could tell what heat setting you are one from the remote. Still a perfect item

A good attractive fireplace insert. Very easy to use. Just place in fireplace and plug in. Mine is 5 years old and still works perfectly. Looks like an “electric” fire. It’s sturdy and can be removed and replaced to fireplace as seasonal warmth is needed. It does make some noise as you can hear motor. However with Christmas music on or when I’m entertaining it’s fine. The only thing that I would complain about is the remote control at 5 years old is falling apart. I tried to order a new one but manufacturer reports there are no “parts” available.

My living room was freezing, even with the minisplit blasting, but this little thing really helps! I just placed it in my sealed fireplace without securing it in any specific way and so far so good. It’s not flush with my size fireplace but this was the best deal I found so it’s worth it. The heat setting is a little loud, my only complaint.

*** Note: 1 Reviewer posted that they don’t know if it works as the remote arrived “dead.” Heads-up, there’s a thin piece of clear plastic on the remote that needs to be gently pulled out to activate the battery. I thought my remote was dead as well, until my teen pulled the clear plastic tag out of it (... and rolled her eyes at me..! Lol). I own a 1700 sq ft colonial home in Buffalo, NY (brrrrrr....) that was built in 1899 (blown-in insulation probably circa 1960-1970 as it’s now settled into the lower 2.5’ portion of my walls...). I have 10’ ceilings and have taken down several walls to give the main floor a more open-concept (probably close to 800/900 sq ft). I purchased the electrical insert: 1. Because it is cost-effective; 2. To fill a void in a now-defunct wood-burning fireplace hearth/box; 3. For “clean-burning” fireplace effect, 4. To supplement my heat in the open, high ceiling living room; 5. For ambiance. I am beyond pleased. First, price. Actually, I would have paid double for this unit. Second, easy set up. There was no “set up.” Slide it out of box, place it where you want it. Plug it in. Easy-peas. Third, ambiance. I was extremely, pleasantly surprised. Old electric inserts were so cheesy. This unit has 5 levels of “fire glow” and they look relatively realistic. 3 people have thought it was gas. Fourth, no odor. Outside of the initial plug in and burn off of the residual manufacturing smell (... which only lasted 10 mins), there’s no odor. That’s important as we have asthmatics in the house. Fifth, heat output. This unit has 3 heat levels: no heat, (just flame effect), low and high. Flame effect and heat are controlled separately on the remote. Even the low heat effect has helped on our sub-zero winter wind-chill days here in Buffalo. The unit does supplement my furnace heat and keeps my living room toasty. I’m excited to use it on those “transition” spring and fall days where you just want to take the chill out of the air but don’t want to turn the whole-house furnace on. Sixth, quiet. This unit does have a hum when the heat is blowing (if you only have the fire effect turned on, there’s no noise). The hum is the same on both high and low heat settings; it is not distracting or outrageous. Of course if my power goes out this electric insert won’t help, but I am over-the-moon pleased with the unit as a whole and the glowing fire effect. I am now considering a second unit for another defunct fireplace in my dining room. 5-Star unit for sure.

This has been great in my old fireplace. I trimmed it out with wood and it looks great and helps me the room warmer.

Item was exactly as described. Very good instructions. Remote control did not come with batteries. Once insert was installed it works wonderful. The colors are bright or they can be turned down. Heater works very good. Consider this insert a good buy.

The reason Amazon says customers usually keep this item is because it is a hassle to return! The measurements were off and it wouldnt work with my fireplace so I wanted to return it.. then, the process goes downhill.. You… the buyer must pay to return this heavy thing even if it is new, unused, and in original packaging! And then pay a restocking fee as well! Horrible and I’m not sure why Amazon even promotes their product

Great features and ideal fir motorhome

Excellant product , heater works great and very realistic fire place look

Great little fireplace. Looks good in the space and puts out a decent amount of heat. Flame is very fake but that should be expected with it being an electric insert

Easy to install, looks amazing and beats a very good size room. Great value for money.

Seems to work well
