42 in. Infrared Wall Mount Electric Fireplace in Black

I wasn’t sure about getting this due to the mixed reviews. I’m glad I did though! It’s really nice and heats up my cold apartment very well! My hydro bill hasn’t gone up by very much at all as well. Does the job, I don’t think it’s noisy at all. The few people I’ve had over said it’s really beautiful.

Easy to install. Great features (timer, temp control, display etc). It is a bit noisy though for a small space (bedroom) but it's not too disruptive-you get used to it. Good price point comparatively.

It’s a beautiful fireplace. My only complaint is the fan is a bit loud for me.

Love love love it. This really can complete a room.

It’s super easy to assemble. Good quality also, I really like it!

This electric fireplace is easy to use and has lots of colour settings for both flame and stones, has a timer and throws good heat. It's a bit noisy, but for the price, it can't be beat.

Great quality, great price. Mounting was super easy and it really heats up the area too.

Very happy with this purchase. It is exactly as described, good quality and great price!

We bought this to put in our bedroom. Our bedroom is a pretty good size, and this fireplace/heater warms it up and makes it cozy. There are some things you have to take in to consideration before buying this unit though: Is it noisy? I'd say not so much. Anytime you have a fan forcing air, you've got to expect a certain level of noise. This thing is mounted 6 ft from my bed and I have not had to turn up the tv to drown it out. So I'd say the level of noise generated is acceptable. Are the flames realistic? No. Not at all. As a fabricator, I can pretty much tell you how this thing works without tearing it apart. So the drum that makes the fake flames is where the problem lies. The punch-outs in it that create the "flames", they are geometrical shapes. So, the "fire" has geometric shapes in it (squares, triangles, right-angles, etc) as a result. Fire just isn't like that. There is no geometry to it. So this is why the flames do not look real. Regardless, I like it. Will it really heat 1,000 sq ft? Well, that should really say "will it really heat UP to 1,000 sq ft?" Under the right circumstances, yes I am sure it would. But that would be with great windows, low ceilings (8 ft ceilings), great insulation, etc. If you have poor windows, poor insulation, tall ceilings, bad air infiltration, etc., then no it will not. But that is not a flaw on the heater's part. It can only do what your space allows it to do. I have great windows, great insulation, etc, and it heats my bedroom up in no time at all without a problem. Installation was super easy. It took me all of 20 minutes. It would have been faster if it had not been for the cheap mounting screws provided with the unit. I could tell by looking that the screws were bottom-of-the-barrel cheap, so I tried to be very gentle with them. Regardless, they stripped out before I could screw them all the way in. Luckily, I have good screws around here, so I went and got some of my own. I'd have been done in 15 minutes if it weren't for the junk screws. So buy good mounting screws if you're going to be fastening this in to studs like I did. The cheap screws provided with this unit will have you removing them with pliers like I had to. Overall, this is a budget unit, not a $1,500 unit. Therefore, I believe I got what I paid for. If it fails a year from now, well then it just does. I don't expect this thing to be a Cadillac; I didn't pay a Cadillac price for it. I think some people fail to understand it's a budget unit, which is why they give bad reviews. Others fail to understand how their house is built. And last but not least, others think that this thing should blow air but be silent. So I would say that most of the problems with this unit are people problems, not product problems. And a lot of that just comes from a lack of understanding. That's not to say people cannot and do not get lemons occasionally, but from what I've seen and read, I'd say most of the problems do NOT come from the heater... Having said what I said, I wish I could help design/build one of these things. The simple flaws that I've mentioned could be dealt with very easily to make this a better unit at pretty much little to no cost to the manufacturer. The picture I am including is immediately after I installed the unit. I had not gotten the cord all tidied up yet....

After my husband attached bracket to wall, it was easy to attach fireplace. Directions for operation of remote with functions easy too. Electric fire not like real fire, but with color options it makes a contemporary statement. Heat was fine too.
