36'' Electric Fireplace Insert, Retro Recessed Fireplace Heater with Fire Cracking Sound, Remote Control & Timer, 750/1500W, Black

36'' Electric Fireplace Insert. I tried to find a fireplace that would go into a cabinet and replace one that had failed. The availability of that type and very short as unlike this one they mount from the rear instead of sliding into a fireplace opening. Not being able to find an acceptable replacement of that type, I settled on this one, and tried to get the dimensions as close as I could. This looks nice and the lighting is excellent, and the heater and fan work perfectly. I did have one issue with it not showing any signs of power, when first out of the box. I contacted the company, and they had me remove the back, and I found one of the wires to the on/off switch had come off. plugged it back in and installed the insert and has worked perfect ever since. I do have about a 1 inch gap at the top, but you can't tell when you look at it. But you do what you gotta do.

I love this fireplace. It look real. So relaxing. It puts out just the right amount of heat for me. I love you can turn the heat off and just enjoy the fire, since i live in Florida and do not need the heat very often. Would highly recommend this fireplace insert. I put it into a tv stand that the fireplace it came with stopped working., and it works great in there. I really do love this fireplace, I have it on almost every day.

Great colors, size, easy setup. Heat comes from the top but not real strong blower. If we leave it on for days it definitely helps heat the room but it cannot heat up large room by itself. We use central heater still but with our large older windows (and lots in living room) in winter it is chillier. This has helped us not get cold.

Looks great. Has heat, and different colors. I personally didn't care for the noise. The level was basically obnoxious. Everything else is great.

Love my fireplace insert

The media could not be loaded. I just received it and it did have a side bend but sure it can be bent back. The remote, I have to press the buttons like 3 times before it does anything so will contact seller and I am sure they will send a new remote. Other than that it is perfect and a perfect fit and heat is nice. I live in a rv and I could not find any fireplace mantle to fit. They were all to big for the corner. I bought a target $60 white bookcase 10 years ago and it's been my tv stand. I decided I was going to create my own fireplace mantel. Dismantled it sanded and primed all separate pieces and then painted then reassembled. I didn't like the solid color of paint....so contact paper it is, and it worked amazing. The top part is a adjustable shelf and I drilled my own holes so I could adjust it to the right height for the fireplace measurements. Now I am excited to get my new floors and paint my walls. Day 1 and super happy. Everything works perfect besides remote and it kicks out great heat. I'll update if something happens down the road.Update: I talked to the seller and they offered me a 15% refund for the dent and we felt the dent could be bent out. I did not want to return it so will bend out the dent. They gave me a tracking number for a replacement remote right away. Very easy to work with and 15% was their offer if I didn't want to return the fireplace. I accepted and was happy.

So I got the 40” and it was near exact the dimensions of my fireplace hole. Open the box and find that the plug is coming off the side of the insert, not the back. Meaning that the actual dimensions of the insert part are about an inch bigger. I had to open the back of the unit, rewire the plug through the back (involved me drilling a hole in the back panel). Complete engineering oversight in my opinion. Why would you want an insert to have the plug location on the side of the insert…. Also, because I got to open the back up I saw the heating element. Pretty small for a 40” fire place in my opinion. The whole heating unit is only about the size of half a loaf of bread. It does output heat ok. Will it heat an entire living room? Ehhh idk. For nearly 600 bucks I expected a little bit of a bigger heating unit inside the machine.

Added this into a reno of an old non working FP. Great addition for atmosphere and coziness.
