The media could not be loaded. In February of 2023 I began framing and finishing out a large room over my garage which we had planned for when we had built our home. My wife found this electric fireplace on Amazon and we ordered it. It is the perfect addition to the space providing cozy aesthetics and actual warmth. While the room we installed it in is larger square footage wise than this electric heater is rated for it still provides noticeable heat and warmth to our room. The heater offers 2 settings you might consider a low and high setting although it isn’t labeled this way. The blower doesn’t blow heat at you in the room. Rather the heat escapes the fireplace noticeably about 2-3 feet away from its front or similar to what you might expect from any heater without a noisy blower as heat rises. Considering this fireplace heater is electric you’re not going to feel extreme heat from it like a traditional fireplace. It does however create a nice hot warmth you can definitely feel and may want to stand in front of when near it. Overall, I am very pleased with its heat output. While the room does have central air/heat this electric fireplace is a very nice supplemental heat source adding noticeable heat and therefore warmth to the room. I do find myself turning off this heater as it will bring the room temperature up noticeably warmer than my central heat’s thermostat setting.A little about the room and the functionality of the electric fireplace to help understand my use and why I recommend this electric fireplace heater. The room we purchased this electric fireplace for is above an unheated garage space but was a well planned insulated space. Therefore this electric heater is not my primary heat source but is a supplement heat source. As a supplemental heat source it performs much better than any expectation I had for it. The heater function makes very little noise when set to either setting and is silent when the heat function is set to off but the flame aesthetics are being used. You must use the flame aesthetic feature, which essentially is an “ON” setting to be able to use the heat function of this electric fireplace. As mentioned the unit even with the heat setting on it’s highest setting is very quiet in operation and you can easily hear a TV when listening at lower volume levels over the very quiet fan of the heat function. I have had no concerns of safe operation as this electric fireplace heater is securely mounted with screws and does not omit unsafe heat levels to the surrounding space where it is mounted. It can be mounted inset and therefore the front glass panel will be flush to any wall where there is a space void of wall studs behind the area or if you plan or modify the space to accept this style electric fireplace heater. You simply need a 120v wall plug near the unit for safe operation. For this heater I did run a separate electric circuit specifically for this wall plugin as to not overload the room’s circuit as this room is used as primary a media room with AV equipment. Space heaters do typically use most of the amperage rating for a circuit which likely includes multiple wall outlets in most houses so keep this in mind for safe operation and to keep from tripping circuit breakers or replacing fuses due to overloading a circuit. As a result of planning for safe operation I have had no concerns or issues with this electric fireplace heater.Aesthetically, this unit offers many options. All settings and options can be controlled from either the unit itself or the remote control. The remote’s range made be the most limiting factor. You need to be within 10’ or so for it to work well. That said, you can control the heat settings, change both the bed and flame bed colors as well as adjust the flame’s speed. Other features available are a dimmer for the brightness and an auto timer shutoff. While there are many color options for each none other than a couple really strike my fancy. I almost always leave my flame bed an almost natural gas blue and the flame a near realistic fiery orange. The speed of the flames also can be changed by several settings from a near slow motion flame, to a slow flame and so on to a more realistic fiery flame appearance. I prefer a more realistic look in appearance and speed on this unit which is not a bad look for a cozy appearance overall.I believe this electric wall fireplace is reasonably realistic however this is not accurately captured in my photo or video. It is a much better experience when seen in person and when set to an appropriate flame bed and a flame setting appearance. It is a nice addition to our space and its intended functionality of heat works well for us. When we purchased ours in February of 23’ at sale price $100 less than the list price it was still more expensive than today’s current pricing. If you are considering this electric fireplace and don’t have the advantage of comparing electric fireplaces in person; I believe this electric fireplace offers a good value for the money. I don’t feel it’s the best option for a primary heat source and perhaps not if the need for supplemental heat is an extreme necessity. However, if a combination of leisure and coziness is desired this electric fireplace is a good combination of appearance, functionality and price.

Long Term Review:I purchased the 42" in November of 2022 when our furnace needed replacement. I framed up your typical TV wall and used this heater to basically heat my living room temporarily. It did so well, we decided to put off buying our furnace and just use this heater and it stayed 68+ all winter in our living room. It actually heated our living room, kitchen, and dining room fairly well on its on, which is roughly 700sq ft altogether.This heater has ran for 3 years all winter and finally blew. For normal usage, I can see this heater lasting a lot of years as it lasted me for 3 winters running 24hrs a day. My only wish is that it had a temperature setting instead of just high and low, but otherwise it's easy to install and works very well. It's fairly quiet, too. I will be buying another one to replace it very soon!

Buying stuff from Amazon is very easy, sometimes communicating issues with the vendors can be challenging. This is not the case with R.W.Flame! Their customer service was incredible, I received an ironboard when I purchased their 60” electric fireplace! I had not opened the box until our homeowners association approved our plans for our media wall. So the box sat for longer than it should have. When we started framing I opened the box only to see that an ironing board was in the box! I quickly email R.W.Flame and got the ball rolling for a refund and repurchase of a new fireplace! A great company that cares and will be responsive! Thank you!

I bought this based on reviews and I am pleased with my purchase. We had cabinetry and a few shelves built around our tv and wanted to add an electric fireplace more for ambiance. My builder said it was easy to install. It looks great and seems of good quality. It does put out heat, however doesn’t get very hot, which I preferred due to safety concerns. I would recommend,

For recessed mounting a 60" fireplace I had the builder build a 58" W x 17" H x 13" deep cut out and dedicated 20 amp circuit. The mounting bracket is designed to be used on the back of the unit. A no go for me or I'd have to stub out some framing from the studs in the back. Thinking about the future I want to do the least modifications to the cut out, so I added some 1" metal brackets to the back of the studs, so the unit couldn't fall into the cavity while adjusting placement. Then I added some L brackets to the back as shims to level the unit. Finally, I had to create some custom mounts out of bent 1" L brackets and attach to the front of the unit with the two screws in the top front. I only did the top since all the weight is on the bottom stud. Just needed to make sure the unit could not fall forward.So at the end of the day I need to remove some wood screws and I can replace this unit with something deeper if needed. I think a better design would be to allow a front or back mounting bracket. If you aren't handy this may not be the fireplace for you unless you plan on not recess mounting in a deeper cut out.You'll get some light leakage because most drywall is not perfect. I can place a toothpick between the glass and drywall in some places. I think just a piece of the same gauge wire could be used to block the light leak. It doesn't say in the instructions, but maybe slide the unit back a few mm from the front edge of the drywall? I had it perfectly flush.Overall, my wife is happy with it and the heater is a nice bonus. We live in FL, so fire without heat is a necessity.

We are very pleased with this product! The installation was easy and it looks amazing on our wall. We love how you can customize the colors of the flames!

Love this fireplace! Love the color settings and remote control. It doesn’t warm up my open concept space completely but it does keep a good portion of the space comfortable, and with the ceiling fan on it helps circulate the warm air. My husband was able to mount with ease.
