Overview

Homeowners building a media wall get a linear electric fireplace that installs built into the wall, with flame colors set from a remote or the Flame Connect app. A ceramic heater adds supplemental warmth, and driftwood logs or glass media dress the firebox.

Flame realism and color control are why to choose it: the Multi-Fire effect and app settings let the display match the room, with logs or glass media swapped in. Installation asks more of the owner, since it is a built-in unit and the included instructions cover hardwiring.

Who it's for

Living rooms, bedrooms and home offices getting a new feature wall suit this unit, especially when the owner can frame an opening and run power to it. Renters and people wanting a portable heater should look at a freestanding model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Cool-touch glass front
  • Logs and glass media both included
  • Flame colors adjustable through an app
  • Year-round flame effect listed
Cons
  • Built-in install needs framing and hardwiring
  • Heavy unit to lift into an opening
  • Warranty length not listed
  • Heat rated as supplemental only

Performance notes

Heat comes from a ceramic element, and the listed coverage assumes supplemental use alongside the home's main heating. The flame display is a separate effect from the heater, which is why the listing names year-round operation. How convincing the fire looks depends on the chosen media, logs or glass, and the color settings in the app.
