Customers overwhelmingly praise the stunning visual design and realistic flame effects, noting the fireplace significantly elevates the room's ambiance.

Know before you buy
The unit is designed for both recessed in-wall installation and surface mounting. While the surface mount option is straightforward for most DIYers, a recessed installation requires framing and electrical work, so you may want to consult a professional if you aren't comfortable with wall construction.
The fireplace is designed to heat spaces up to 400 square feet. It serves best as a supplemental heat source for localized comfort rather than a primary heating system for an entire home.
Yes, the flame display and the heating element operate independently. You can enjoy the visual ambiance of the 60 color combinations year-round without activating the heater.
Yes, the unit features built-in Wi-Fi and is compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home. You can also control the settings directly through the dedicated mobile app or the included remote.
The fireplace comes with three different media options: a log set, clear crystals, and driftwood. You can mix and match these to customize the look of your fireplace to suit your interior style.
The heat is emitted from the front top vents of the unit. This design allows for more flexible installation options, as you don't have to worry about heat blowing directly against the wall or floor.
