Review: Excellent purchase. Expensive but I feel it’s worth it. - So easy to install. Took out a package. Just added the back panel, which required no screwing just sliding onto the middle base. Fits my fireplace absolutely perfectly. You barely see the back panel unless you are really down low and looking at it directly high-level. Very quiet as well. And the heat that it generates is pretty nice. Although I probably will not use the heat regularly. But definitely more efficient than using Duraflame logs, which basically were just for ambience and sucked hot air of the flu. I’ve tried multiple settings and like some of them. Although the remote isn’t that strong, you have to be right next to the unit to use it. And don’t really care for the form factor of the remote as they are a cheap type, versus buttons that actually are not part of the face plate. Would’ve liked more flame options. This really just allows you to turn the flame off and on. But the logs allotted for brightness. But would’ve definitely liked the flames to be able to increase speed, decrease speed and intensity levels. It was more expensive than some of the other brands, but this was definitely more realistic looking. The flame looks like it’s coming from in between the logs versus behind the logs. The logs are also more realistic than the other versions out there. Highly recommend. It seems much more realistic than any electric insert that I’ve seen. As it actually provides some depth in the fireplace versus the electric inserts. Even visiting the fireplace stores, the inserts that are actually pretty much television sets still look pretty fake to me, especially when they put full logs in front of them. This is really the best thing for your buck for sure. One more thing, when I close the glass on it, it is as realistic as it gets. Unless you’re really up close to it and looking at it. I’ll definitely enjoy the cost savings of not buying Duraflame logs during the winter.
Review: Great ambiance at the press of a button! - I live in an older house with a wood-burning fireplace but I don’t want the hassle, smokiness, and mess of burning wood so I decided to buy some electric logs to use when I wanted the mood of a fire. I knew going in that whatever I bought wouldn’t look exactly like a real fire but I hoped to find something that didn’t look totally cheap and cheesy and I’m very pleased with this log set. To get the “bad” out of the way first - the heater is weak. Definitely buy this for the look, not the heat. My living room is average-sized and in checking with a thermometer, running it on high for two hours didn’t raise the room temperature at all. My favorite seat is about 8 feet away and I couldn’t even tell the heater was on. You only feel heat if you’re within a couple of feet of it. My cats like to lay in front of it. Also, the plastic reflector piece is as obvious in bright light as other reviewers have said. My first photo shows the logs running in daylight with the curtains open on a picture window on the wall that’s left of the fireplace wall. (I darkened the edge of the shield before installation.) While I don’t love how obvious it is in bright light, I’m so pleased with the effect in dim light (when I’m more likely to use it) that the trade-off is worth it to me. Now for the good stuff. The “fire” looks wonderful at night or with the curtains closed. (See the video.) It’s soothing and subtle and while I’m sure there must be a pattern to the “flames” it isn’t at all obvious. In dim light, the flame pattern reflects faintly on the fireplace liner bricks as well as the reflective shield, adding to the effect. There are three different flame settings and I think the fire looks most natural on the lowest setting but all are good. The remote I received works perfectly and the controls are logical. The only assembly necessary was inserting the reflective shield into the slots and the logs were ready to use. There was no weird smell to anything. Overall, I’m very pleased that I bought this log set. If it lasts a few years, it will have been well worth the money to me. NOTE: I didn’t buy the ember mat attachment that’s available for these logs. I was on the fence about its appearance and at the time I bought the logs, the price of the ember mat was $80, which I think is insanely expensive for what reviewers have said is basically some molded styrofoam-like material with a few LED lights, so I created my own “ember bed” with some fire pit rocks and battery-powered LEDs, both purchased on desertcart. The cost was about half that of the ember mat. If anyone likes how it looks (see second photo and video), here’s what I did - I bought a strand of orange, battery powered, LED “fairy lights” for $7 and a 10 pound bag of “Marigold Glow” fire pit rock, which is a mix of black lava rocks and heat-safe orange and amber glass, for $34. I arranged them in front of the logs and TaDa!...embers! And since the lights have their own battery pack, I can use the logs with or without them, depending on what effect I want.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I wouldn't try hooking it up with an adapter but could you plug it into a surge protector ?**
A: the unit draws 11 amps, probably when the heater is on high. Led lights don't draw much juice.The motor that turns the lights to create the flame effect is "probably" not all that hefty. Most home circuit breakers are 20 amps per branch. Wouldn't put it on a circuit that has a lot of stuff already on the same branch. If the surge protector can handle the 11 amp draw shouldn't be a problem. I'm not an electrician. I did notice one other thing, the cord for the unit seems like your usual lamp gauge cord...just saying. The logs look great!

**Q: how many square feet will it heat?**
A: According to the manufacturer this is designed to heat 400 square foot.

**Q: Can this be used in a non vented fire place?**
A: Yes.  No vent needed!  Just plug it in and it's a pretty fire with some nice heat!

**Q: is the length 19 inches?  must be 20inches or less..**
A: If you are referring to the longest side, it is 23 3/4."  That would measure the front facing width if you are standing in front of it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Unit, looks realistic
*by M***T on January 2, 2023*

I love real wood fires in the fireplace. Problem is, I have a a fireplace that, while fairly new, is old school in design. It's terribly inefficient -- no outside air to sustain the fire and no heat exchanger/fan forced air around the fire box. The result is that if you build a nice fire in it you are actually sending your heated house air up the chimney (think $ going out) so that the net effect is an increase in your energy use. I got tired of the high heating bills due in part to using this inefficient fireplace. So after a review of the options, I got this. I figured that at the very least I could close the chimney flue and look at the pretty colored flames while saving utility costs. The unit has more than met my expectations. In the daytime, the reflection from the plexiglass shield is noticeable but at night in a darkened room the flames look absolutely realistic. I did what many have recommended and used a black magic marker to blacken the edge of the shield -- this helped the reflection quite a bit. I wish the unit put out a bit more heat but mine is in a very large great room so I don't really think that is the unit's fault. It's a a 5000 watt (more or less) unit and that would warm up a 10 x 10 x 8 foot room, our great room is probably at least twice that size. But it does put out a noticeable amount of heat and warms up the room quite a bit after it's been operating for 30 minutes or so. My one very minor pet peeve is that the plexiglass shield does not snap firmly into place and it is easily dislodged if you (as I did) have to assemble it before you place it in the fireplace. That was difficult for me to do without bumping it on something and dislodging the shield. But I finally got it in right and once it's in, it's there forever. Another minor issue is that the front legs are rather flimsy. This is not really a big issue because most of the weight of the unit is born by the flat bottom of the heating unit; the front legs are there just to keep it from falling forward. But they are rather flimsy. Haven't seen what effect, if any, this will have on my heating bill but I figure it absolutely cannot be worse than burning wood inefficiently. Very pleased with the unit.
