Review: Pretty slick for an electric fireplace - Wow! For an electric fireplace, this thing is pretty slick. I have done a ton of research because I am really picky about the flame looking as realistic as possible. The appearance of the flames comes from a projection that reflects off of whatever surface is behind the unit. The flames are adjustable mechanically, but can further be adjusted to your liking by moving the unit closer to or farther away from the reflective surface behind it. I feel like this flame is fairly realistic, especially as compared to most other electric fireplaces on the market. The Dimplex company does makes a great looking product, but for 1/3 of the price, this log set by duraflame is a solid option and a great buy! Furthermore, the logs themselves are very nice. It looks pretty decent, even when it is turned off. It is very quiet while just having the flame effect on. The heater generates a small fan noise, but no more than any other electric heater or a blower on a real fireplace would. I did not find noise to be an issue. It does not make any crackling fire sounds, but you can buy a crackle box to add to it if that is important to you. The Comfort Smart crackle box does a decent job of this. I have not tried out the heater too much, as I have just unpacked it and it's currently just sitting on the carpet. I had it on for a few minutes and it seemed to blow out some pretty decent heat! It did get quite hot, so I would not recommend using it without some sort of heat barrier. It is meant to be used inside an existing fireplace. I will work on adding a video :) Hope this helps!!
Review: A real bargain! The bronze is almost black--love! - Compared to other retail sites, the price for which desertcart has this unit is a steal. (It is offered at numerous other big box retail stores under different brand names, but the model number will be the same.) Got it yesterday, plugged it in, and voila! Instant ambience! We have a wood burning fireplace, and we do use it. But sometimes, you think about a fire too late in the evening as a person doesn't want to go to bed leaving a fire going, so this will fit the bill nicely. And when we do want a real fire, it can be removed instantly. The one thing I wanted to address is the bronze color. I was hesitant to order this and kept looking at the same unit offered elsewhere that featured a black grate, as the black is what I thought I wanted. Because the price was so good on this and photos featured in the reviews made it look like a dark bronze, I ordered it, and couldn't be happier. The bronze is so dark that it almost looks black, and in the fireplace, it DOES look black. So glad I ordered it for this price! The cord: It's short (6 ft), but if you get a minimum 14 gauge extension cord, you should be fine. This is the one I would recommend: Tripp Lite Heavy-Duty Power Extension Cord 15A, 14AWG (NEMA 5-15P to NEMA 5-15R) 6-ft.(P024-006) . It is available in different lengths. The noise and amount of heat: With just the flames going, it makes very little noise...practically none. With the heater going, it does have fan noise similar to any small heater you would buy that features a fan. This does not put off heat like a real fire would, and I would compare the heat of the unit to be the temperature of a regular fan heater set on low or medium. So, at best...this unit would be good to take the chill off of a room, which is another reason we wanted it. Even with our furnace set at 68, on particularly cold nights, our living room can sometimes have a bit of chill to it, and we look for this to quickly and easily make the room a bit more comfortable. I will attach a video showing the logs on high on a grey, cloudy morning. (I have a wrought iron fireplace screen over the opening.) I have the heater on, as well, so you can hear the amount of noise it makes. We have a pretty large fireplace opening, and we have the unit placed directly over the ash dump, which is the perfect place for maximum projection on the back wall. The logs can be moved to change the amount of projection making it work well for all sized fireplaces.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: cord is to short what can i get ?**
A: Extension cord to run a space heater can be very dangerous thing to do. Many people own extension cords but they are small in size at about 18 gauge cord (okay for a lamp) but a heater like this needs at LEAST a 14 gauge size wire if not a  12 gauge.... depending on the length needed.   Heavy duty safe to use cords are not pretty or easy to hide..so people take a chance with lamp cord extensions with a color they can hide...  NOT the thing to do, check the national statistics on house fires and you will see space heaters are right up there on the list Please use larger gauge extension cord if you have to use one... play it safe.Note that even with a proper extension cord for 1500 watt heater, many wall outlets can't handle the load either

**Q: how long is the electrical cord?**
A: how long is the cord to the set

**Q: khow much electricity does the unit hourly?**
A: Well 2600 watts consumption, 20a converted into KVA * price you pay per kilowatt, say 10 cents is about $.60 per hour on average. Does this help?

**Q: What is the difference between the electric and infrared versions? I see they are two different prices.**
A: The infrared heater warms up to 1,000 Sq. Ft. and electric warms up to 400 sq. Ft.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So fun!
*by M***R on April 8, 2026*

I love this! It's free standing, so no glass front. The " flames" flicker from behind and look so cool! The logs shift lighting so it looks real! The heater is good! It gives great heat and is easy to adjust. I was replacing an old one and couldn't find the right size when I saw this one. This is making me happy on a dreary spring day!
