A wide decorative electric fireplace for a wall indoors or outdoors where the look of a flame matters more than heat. The title says no heat and no heat output is given, so it is not a room heater.

Overview
A bedroom, office or patio wall can take this wide electric fireplace, which mounts either recessed into the wall or surface mounted with the supplied bracket. The display pairs a realistic flame in three colors with a faux log and crystal embers.
Looks are the reason to buy: a wide flame display that can go into a wall or onto it, indoors or outdoors with the GFI plug. The limitation is that the title says it gives no heat, while the specs name a quartz element and no heat output, so do not buy it to warm a room.
Who it's for
A living room, bedroom, office or outdoor wall where a wide recessed or mounted feature is wanted will suit it, and the included bracket, hardware, wood screws and drywall anchors cover wall mounting. Someone shopping for a heater, or for a freestanding unit, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Recessed or wall mount options
- Wide face for a feature wall
- Outdoor-ready GFI plug
- Remote control included
- Heat output not listed
- Title says no heat despite quartz element
- Heavy for a wall mounted unit
Performance notes
The fireplace shows a lit flame effect over a log and crystal bed, so the look depends on the flame color setting and the wall finish around it. It is corded and used with a GFI plug for outdoor spots, which ties placement to an outlet. Mounting is recessed or on the wall with a bracket, and wall anchors and screws are in the box.
