Overview
A fireplace owner gets a plug-in log set resting on a black grate with a realistic ember bed and a rolling flame effect. Infrared quartz heat projects flames onto the back of the hearth.
The reason to buy is fireplace looks without wood, hookups or vents, on a unit controlled from across the room. The limit is that it is supplemental heat and needs to fit an existing opening.
Who it's for
Bedrooms, offices and living rooms with an existing hearth can use the flame effect all year, with or without heat. Anyone planning a wall-mount or freestanding unit needs a different product.
Pros and cons
- No hookups or vents
- Flames run without heat
- Remote control included
- No assembly required
- Supplemental heat only
- Needs an existing fireplace
- Needs a nearby outlet
Performance notes
The quartz element gives infrared warmth that heats people and objects directly instead of drying the air, according to the description. The flame effect runs separately from the heater, so it can run in warm weather. Heat reach depends on room layout and the stated coverage area.
