LIFEPLUS 22" Electric Fireplace Insert Infrared Quartz Recessed Heater with Remote Control 12h Timer with Log Flame Effect LED Display Adjustable Thermostat Overheat Protection for Office and Home

Heater arrived late do to weather. Well packed. We unpacked it, installed the 4 legs and plugged it inThe room we are using it in is an office about 300 sq.ft. in a basement. Area was at 62 degrees. In about 30 min. it got to 70 degrees. 1 speed blower motor. Thermostat works well. Not very expensive, looks nice and does the job. (NO REMOTE)

This was exactly what we were looking for. We decided on a whim that our cluttered tv corner needed to be a corner fireplace instead, but we were working on a budget. The heat level that comes out is nice and cozy, and for the price we paid I’m super impressed with the lighting and image. It’s about 1000x more realistic than I was expecting it to be. The flames are clearly artificial lighting, but I was honestly expecting them to just look fake and honestly ridiculous for only paying $150. They don’t though, they have a nice glow and flicker to them that feels real enough, especially when you aren’t looking directly at them. (Just to be clear, the artificial flames are not a con to me - I expected them to look even more artificial than they do and I’m super impressed with them.) I also really like that it has the overheat protection.Overall, this was absolutely worth the money we spent on it and was exactly what we needed for this quick project.

It's smaller than anticipated and I didn't receive a remote control.

This fireplace is so much nicer than I expected. Right out of the box it worked great. I didn't look at the manual right away but the unit was easy to figure out without it. It was a bit shorter than the old one so I put some 2 inch plastic feet on the bottom. I think it added to its charm. The flame is nice. I like the adjustable blower speed and the brick surround looks real. I didn't like that the red lights stayed on all the time so I used a black marker to tone it down. Now the lights are much dimmer. I reccomend this fireplace.

I was looking for a compact fireplace/heater to put into my IKEA besta entertainment center. I absolutely love it! It fits perfectly and provides an outstanding ambiance to the space. No fireplace at this price range will look perfectly authentic, but the colors and varying brightness provide a great effect. I have it on every time I’m in the space.I am impressed with how well the heater heats the large open space where I use it. After you turn off the heater, it blows out cool air to cool the unit, so that it’s never hot to the touch. This is great for folks with young children. I wish the controls weren’t so prominent on the front of the unit, but this doesn’t take away from how much I love it.If you’re looking for a compact, effective fireplace/heater for your living room or basement, this is for you!

This product is the cheapest most flimsy fake fireplace heater that I have ever seen. The price was $159. I thought I was going to be receiving something solid made with some metal. This is nothing more than a colored light inside of a plastic frame that blows heat. I can do much better for $159. Additionally, I requested to return the product and they charge me to return it. You cannot return it to a typical Amazon return center. You must ship it back at your own cost.

The media could not be loaded.  Update: bought this last fall and have been using it all winter. It has worked great!! Many compliments on how cozy it makes the room look and feel.Pretty realalistic, great heat! Good look

When the insert in our electric fireplace TV stand no longer functioned, rather than replacing the entire unit we bought this insert. It puts out very good heat and the ambiance is nice for the price. However, if you want a more realistic fire, this might not be the insert for you.
