Thanks for the info. I’m currently looking for an electric fire to replace my gas one. No where did you mention heat output per fire. I’m an old geezer that feels the cold 😀 so any chance you could help with info in future? Thanks.

Thanks so much for the information! I'm wanting a fireplace for my apartment.

[giwrgoskarvounis]

Hi! Happy new year! Is the water fireplace safe above tv?

[taraobrien]

I’m interested in getting a freestanding electric unit with mantle for my apartment. Are there any from Modern Flame or Dimplex? What’s the preferred brand/model for this circumstance?

[garyz]

Excellent overview. Exactly what we were looking for as an entry into electric (vs gas) fireplaces. The focus on "Realistic" is what is important to us. What are you trying to show with a purple flame coming from pieces of broken glass ? Suspect you would lose interest quickly.
Is the 'flame' from LED models just repeating the same thing? Isnt a random pattern important for realism? Some mention of heat available including quiet operation would be desirable.

[NEON-NEXUS]

Thanks for the info! Virtual really seems the way to go now that they are more reasonably priced!

[moniquecrete]

I need to use wall mounted (not recessed) for my space. Can you please recommend a 50" realistic electric fireplace that has a narrow depth, preferably no more than 4"?

[kmas]

I do not see many reviews on Lite deer Latitude fireplace but that seems to be in decent price range. Would you highly recommend that fireplace? Any cons to watch out for? I see a lot of fireplace in the market and it is very confusing to choose from. Please recommend

Any thoughts on the "magikflame" product?
