LegendFlame 23" W Free Standing Electric Fireplace Log Set (EF290), Fireplace Insert, Heater 750W/1500W, Crackling Sound, Remote Control

We live in a condo community with 6 villas in each building. We've had fireplaces before and carted in wood from a from a pipe frame for half a cord of wood. Then weekly we would clean out the ashes and yearly we would have a professional chimney sweep clean the fireplace, flue and chimney. We switched over to gas logs as it was cleaner and less expensive. Since we now love in a condominium, we have no place to put a large propane tank. As we love the ambiance of the crackling fire and the warmth provided for the living room, we opted to look at an electric log set. The Legend Fire logs are very realistic, provide heat with built in heater, thermostat and fan, it provides 6 settings of realistic crackling and wind noise, and best of all, no dragging in wood and cleaning the fireplace. To last through the winter, we had to purchase a half cord of wood (a rick of wood). For about the same price, we purchased this beautiful log set and look forward to many years of functionality and comfort without the hassle and cost of a wood fireplace.

These electric fireplace logs were ready to use right out of the box—no setup hassle at all. The logs look surprisingly realistic, and the adjustable flame light, sound, and heat levels make it easy to create the exact atmosphere you want. A great option if you want the look and feel of a real fire with the convenience of electric.

This fireplace is fabulous! I installed it in my office fireplace in about 10 minutes. The remote works great. Even though it has a heater option - nothing on the fireplace gets hot to the touch. I put a screen in front to create a more realistic look. I used a surge protector because of the heating element. Its lovely. My patients/clients like it too! It looks deeper than it actually is- because of the reflection screen. Look closely- My interior of my fireplace had a natural dark and light area to the brick - so the screen fits in perfectly- this could also be done with "heat resistant " spray paint ( in case you ever wanted to use the fireplace for gas logs or real wood in the future).

We love fires for the holidays and during the Fall & Winter. What we don't love is the entire house smelling like smoke. So I've been looking for one of these for a while. I decided to take a chance on this one despite it being on the pricey side because of all the ones I've seen it looks the most like an actual bed of coals with logs. Let's start with the look: It looks amazing, even when not turned on. When it's on it's perfect. The bed of glowing embers with "flames" above them, topped with the logs just looks like a real fire. The rolling fire effect not only goes through the logs but also reflects off the back of the fireplace, which makes for a very realistic effect. We could not be happier with the appearance. It gives that cozy feel just as we were hoping. The heater is surprisingly strong on high and blows hot air quickly and powerfully. No complaints there either. As for the sound, it's a mixed bag. The crackling sound is nice & subtle on low, but on high sounds very tinny. This comes down to a small, weak speaker. I'm not worried about it because on low it sounds just right. On high my wife says it sounds like someone lit a fire in a tin can. I might replace the speaker with a better one down the road, but it's fine as is. A nice bonus in the manual is the back page is a schematic, which would make any repairs or upgrades easier. The wind sound is kind of pointless. I get what they were going for (a fire on a windy day) but the result sounds exactly like someone frying bacon in a pan. Not much reason I can think of to ever use it. Still, I'm not taking a star off for such a minor thing I'll never use. The remote is simple and easy to use. I guess it's the nature of the design, but since the remote sensor is tucked away under the "grate", you have to be sure to aim in the right spot for it to work. As I write this review I'm sitting next to the fireplace. I love the coziness of it, and every once in a while my eye catches the glow and my brain wonders why there's no heat coming off the fire. Then I remember it's metal and plastic. We really couldn't be happier with this. It adds the look (and mostly the sound) of a real fire without the mess and smell (first world problems, right?). I can't say how durable it will be but it feels solidly built, and other than the cheap speaker it feels well thought out. It's one of the more expensive ones...I've seen these for $100 or less on sale...but it looks much more realistic than the cheap models.

I got this to go in our fireplace. For a whole host of reasons I no longer want to have actual fires in the fireplace, but I do like the ambience of having a fire. Set up was very straight forward. Took it out of the box, tested it, screwed the screen onto the back, set it in the fireplace, and plugged it in. I initially was not going to use the screen, but it is almost invisible in my fireplace and does enhance the flame effect. The flames were still visible on the back of the fireplace without it, but with the screen the illusion is much better. Visually it is quite good. At a glance it looks pretty real. There are 3 flame settings. The second setting doesn't change the intensity much, just seems to eliminate the blue flames. I like the blue so I set it on either the highest or the lowest setting. The camera on my phone does weird stuff when I turned the fire to the lowest setting so it doesn't really show it well. I like the gentle glow with subdued flames at that low setting. There seem to be 6 difference sound settings. Loud, medium and soft for 2 different styles of crackling - one that sounds like sizzling hot oil, and the other that sounds more realistically like a fire. All of them sound a bit hollow and fake. My husband hates them. I kind of like the low setting on the one that is more realistic. The sound is controlled with the remote only. There is also, of course, the heater, which works very well, but the fan is loud. It's still pretty warm here so I have only tested it to make sure it works. It does. It started pouring out heat immediately. There is a thermostat knob on the side for the heater. The remote works well. You can't be on the other side of the house, but within about 10-15 feet it works great. Overall I am very happy with it and wouldn't hesitate to buy it again knowing what I know now.

Las medidas ajustaron bien en mi chimenea ornamental de tabique.

I absolutely LOVE this product! I consider myself very 'fussy' when it comes to my decor and I totally recommend this item!

Excellent produit. Look très réaliste, très beau et d'excellente qualité. Très agréable a regarder et ambiance magnifique.

I’ve had this for over a year now. I wanted to wait to review to see how it did long term. Great option if you can’t afford or don’t want to undergo the big project of putting in a gas fireplace. I have a wood burning that is out of commission and this works perfectly. I like the lowest sound setting for the crackling. The other louder sounds are a bit fake to me. The flicker is great and it puts off good heat. Would recommend.

Bûches de belles apparences , beau reflet des flammes , craquèlements des flammes assez réalistes quoique qu’une amélioration de la qualité sonore serait appréciée
