Type of review

So realistic. I think it could radiate more warmth but I live in Southern California so it suits me. I cut out a piece of plexiglass to fit a vintage '60s cone fireplace and I couldn't be happier. The insert is very light and has never been touched. The only criticism is that you have to hold the remote in the right position next to the heater for it to work.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Not fashionable

Great magazines that look the most realistic in person.

Very happy with these logs. The most realistic we've ever seen. Agree with another reviewer that if the plastic reflector were rectangular rather than crescent shaped it wouldn't be noticeable. The RLG20 does not come with additional bottom charcoals, but we purchased them separately. They probably add to the overall setting and realism, but are WAY overpriced for what they are. The heater works quite well, but I'm not sure it will heat a large room effectively. Please note that when you turn…

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Something else

Beautiful electric fireplace

This fireplace replaces our traditional wood-burning fireplace. It was very easy to set up. My husband didn't understand at first. He thought it looked very real. The only thing I have is that the piece of plexiglass is cut off so that when standing you can see the top edge as a light line on a dark background. Drawing a dark marker over it might help, I'm not sure yet. The heater was only on for about 10 minutes and I felt warm throughout the room (150 square feet). Definitely smells like…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Reliable

Good product but could be cheaper -

Let's start with the good. Good product with realistic flames. The heat works well, although I can see how some might think it's weak. (For me it's an extra, which is ideal) The remote control is handy. Not very good. He's pretty small. It looks cramped in a standard chimney. (The next size up, up to 25 inches, is $450, which just isn't worth it.) There's no glowing charcoal mat included. While it looks good at $70, the charcoal mat is MUCH more expensive. It shouldn't cost more than $20 and it

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • There are some cons

I Saved Over $2,000 By Not Installing Gas Insert

I used this in a 20 inch charcoal fireplace. The "grid" and logs fit perfectly, but I had to cut 2 inches from either side of the plastic. Reflector. I was able to pull the cord down and the ash flew into a vent in my basement. Here's what you need to know: - fragile so careful assembly is required - the plug comes out on the right side of the heater - it makes no noise when the heater is off - the heater works well and it's very quiet too . In the attached video the heater is on top. The…

Best buy ever.

I'm so in love with this. I was skeptical at first but I saw a video someone posted and decided to give it a try. Flame is going crazy. They look like real flames. I worry about patterns in sonic machines and I was concerned that I might trace the pattern back to the flame, but it hasn't happened yet, so that's a positive thing. I use it every night and I love that I can use it all year round. The atmosphere is really nice. My fireplace is in a large open room with vaulted ceilings, so I don't…

  • Confident

  • Weak

Clever idea but sinfully overpriced and underpowered heater

I have a few issues with this unit but I'll start with the positives. This is probably the most realistic fake firewood set you can find. Clever idea to project the flame onto a transparent plastic pane. The flame looks real, but if there are other light sources in the room you will see a flame on the sign and then it will look fake. For the price, it should have some sort of built-in sound that mimics the crackling of a fire - I bought (separately) the "Comfort Smart Fire Crackler Device" and…

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • not as good as it says
