Not worth the buy
Easy install, looks decent. It's electric so don't expect a realistic flame. But that it, the fan has not blown at all and ready to take it out and return.

    What a great purchase!
    I'm so happy with my new fireplace and the flames are so relaxing to watch. Does it look like a real fire? Nope, not even close. Is it still enjoyable, relaxing and nice to look at? Definitely! Overall I love this purchase and I'm looking forward to getting a lot of use out of it.

    Heat blows
    This was the best electric fireplace I have bought. Which I have purchased 3 different kinds. This really puts out the heat and looks good too

    Good price and looks realistic!
    We got this to install inside a diy fireplace project and was perfect . It comes in a box with styrofoam so it won't get damaged along with a remote and manual. After my husband made the fireplace he installed the electric insert and it looks awesome! It lights up and heats the living room . We have flame color on red and on level 3 of brightness. The heat level is on 5 and it warms up our living room pretty good. Overall looks and feels great and will probably buy another one for another diy fireplace in the basement.

    Love our fireplace
    (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Very pleased with our new Costway 28" electric fireplace. Arrived quick, no assembly required, and looks and feels warm!

    Exactly as described but damaged from manufacturer
    The unit was well priced. The product ships from a company called Costway. It was exactly as described, EXCEPT, it was shipped damaged. The packaging was in excellent condition, and packed well in styrofoam. The left metal edge was very bent, which meant the MANUFACTURER inserted the already damaged product into the box. My wife and I bent the metal back into shape with a hammer and pliers so it's 99% all good. We read the instructions, plugged it in and it works as it should. Fairly simple to use. There is a cosmetic ring on the lower front. Pull it to expose a control panel where you have to flip a switch to turn on. Then you can control everything with the control panel or the remote.

    Different than advertised
    The flames have a different look than advertised. The picture in the listing shows a flame that I would consider fairly realistic to a real fire, however that option in reality is pretty much just yellow. You can switch the flame to a different color, but none of the options look like the realistic fire in the first picture in the listing. I have attached a picture.

    Passed the wife test!
    I removed the old electric heater in our travel trailer. Small amount of cabinet work and fillers to accommodate the new heater size. I am a carpenter so I already had the tools to do the job. With a little stain and a few screws it installed easy as pie... The Wife likes it so I've done good she says. Which you know that's the best test... :)

    Its OK
    It came very quickly. I like the options of color and heat levels however the visual is just ok. I've seen others that have better quality visual this one is just ok and looks really fake. I would have exchanged it but it wasn't worth the hassle of returning it.

    Very satisfied with the Costway 28.5 Electric Embedded Insert Glass Log. It came completely assembled. It fits my fireplace opening. I measured the opening prior to purchase. Be sure to measure the opening for the depth of the insert. The remote works well. The cover of the controls on the unit must be down to see if heater is on low or high. Also check that the color of the flames is the color you want. The instructions for assembly are vague. It took me time to figure out that the unit was already assembled and that all I needed to do was place it in the fireplace.

    Works well but remote has limitations
    Nice unit. Operates as advertised. Only issue is the remote is not as complete as I would like. For instance, if you increase the temperature you need to see the setting on the units display panel somewhat defeating the purpose of the remote. One of the remote buttons doesnt match the image in the manual.

    This is really nice for the price, It's not super realistic looking but I wasn't hoping to pull that off anyway. It makes a pretty novelty for my old fireplace. The human soul craves whimsy, and novelty with which to pin our memories to the wall, P. Diller 7-17-17

    Crack in log
    the unit came damaged, there was a crack in the log so the light shows through from underneath. Tried to call the number for the company to return. Busy signal constantly. Finally got a rep. She was hesitant to do a return. Waiting for our return postage, might or might not come.
