I would probably have given it a better rate but it is missing something that should be there which makes it not work with my fireplace heater. As far as the way it was packaged it was a rating of 5 I'm sure it works fine for one of the Amish Heaters just the wrong one for mine. thanks anyway. i also give it a 5 for the amount of time from the time I ordered it to the time I received it. I'll try and see if I can sell it.

I buy from Amazon regularly and, when I need to return an item, it is easy. Not this time. This seller has "free shipping" and , as I inquired about returning this cheaply made fireplace screen, I learned that I not only had to pay return shipping cost (understandable), but the outgoing shipping cost and a "restocking fee" which can be 30-50% of the cost of the item.

In addition, they send very rigid instructions about how to return the item and make it difficult to do so. Fortunately, we didn't even unpack the screen, as we could see how poorly made it is through the plastic covering.

So, DO NOT purchase anything from this seller UNLESS you are 100% sure you will keep it. We will end up paying approximately 45 dollars to return the screen.

This looks beautiful! The inner feet / floor supports didn't seem sized properly they were much larger than the screen's frame. This left large gaps so the only thing holding the brace to the screen, and in turn providing stabilization was a small screw used to secure them. Since I don't' think I will be moving it around much it isn't a huge concern now, but I worry they will work loose over time.

The wall furnace looked fine when unpacked, but during the installation process I found the combustion chamber had twisted away from the somewhat flimsy brackets on the secondary bracket that mounts on the wall bracket. I am guessing the unit was dropped on a corner during shipping and the chamber assembly twisted free, breaking the rivets that held it and twisting 2 of the 4 brackets. I could have returned it, I'm sure, for a replacement, but a careful examination showed no other damage. We bent the brackets back and securely riveted them. The gas inlet filter also fell out when the dust plug was removed. This was tricky to get back into position properly, so the unit needed to have a brass fitting installed while the unit was upside down. Then the gas line was attached when the unit was back on the wall.

The cut-out template was accurate. I did a drill through the wall and cut the outside vent hole just slightly down from the inside vent hole to allow the required 3% drop for water drainage. Cutting the vent pipe and rod as specified in the directions resulted in a perfect through-the-wall installation of the vent assembly. The vent assembly covers make for an attractive installation outside. Once in place and running, the heater performed very well, easily heating a 1000 sq. ft. apartment. The outside temperatures are about 35 40deg F, so this is not a severe weather environment. The sealed chamber combustion using outside air which is vented back out through a central exhaust vent means there is no chance of sucking air out of the room or exhausting combustion byproducts into the room unless you install the vent assembly below or right next to a window or other opening into the structure. Follow the guidelines and you have a safe installation. That is, assuming the combustion chamber does not leak. I have no way of determining if that will happen over time, but there were no apparent combustion products of any kind coming from the wall furnace when newly installed. Even the normal new-heater burn-off odor was very low.

I could not give this a 5 star rating because of the flimsy internal mounting bracket issue. The unit cover is also made of materials that appear to be thinner than the painted sheet metal covers one usually encounters on furnace cover assemblies. However, for the price, this wall furnace appears to do an excellent job of heating, and the installed furnace is actually pretty attractive.

Cheap Sure Heat Hand Painted Gas Log Sets For Vent Free Fire Places

Sure Heat Mountain Vernon Oak Vent free Dual Burner Log Set for Natural Gas Fueled Fireplace, 24-Inch
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

Having read some negative reviews prior to purchase, I questioned the wisdom of ordering the Sure Mountain Natural Gas burner. It arrived intact, with no damage to the ceramic logs. I uninstalled my non-functioning gas logs and in less than one hour had the new unit unpacked, installed, tested for gas leaks, and operating.

It does have a whistling sound when the burner is turned to the highest setting, but at that setting the amount of heat produced is more than I want. At the lowest setting it produces more heat than the previous gas logs we were using.

I was slightly disappointed when I received it. It was much smaller than I expected. I read the descripion several times, but it just doesnt look the same as the picture, I wish I would have spent a little more and bought on with more logs. That being said, I did keep it and installed it with no problem. It works well and Iwe have grown used to it. Once we added a screen door to our fireplace, we like it much better. It does a fine job and does put out good heat. It warms out living and dinning area in about 15 minutes on a cold morning on low setting. I think that having a screen in front of it made us forget about it and just start enjoying it.

Honest reviews on Sure Heat Hand Painted Gas Log Sets For Vent Free Fire Places

The ceramic logs are horrible. They have charred and give off a black discharge that has left black dust all over my house. This is not a vent free product and is cheaply made. I will be replacing it with a higher quality product and throwing these logs away.

I have just arranged to return this set to Amazon. Despite repeated attempts by ourselves and later by a plumber, we could not get the burner to light. We checked the gas line to the fireplace and the gas pressure. No problem with either. We also checked all of the fittings. The pilot lit okay and burned with a steady blue flame, so we know that gas was reaching the burner. The problem was likely the regulator, but I refused to pay any more money than I already had to try and fix it. Amazon will refund my purchase price, but the initial savings on the item was eaten up by the extra cost of a plumber. I considered asking for a replacement, but really don't want to take another chance on a product from this manufacturer. The picture looks nice. Shame I can't tell you that it actually looks that good when burning in the fireplace.

This item is great for the price and exceeded my expectations. The flames and logs look realistic and the glass frame looks great. The only reason that I rated it a 4 is because we have it mounted under a flat screen TV and the heat vent is on the top of the fireplace...we made a metal redirect for the heat and painted it black. I wish it was designed with the vents on the sides.

This fireplace looks nice, but the corners weren't finished well. Plus with the heat coming out of the top, it heats nothing but the wall it is hanging on. There isn't a fan to blow the heat into the room. This may be a nice feature if you have small kids as it remains cool every where but the very top. It does nothing to heat even the smallest room. This is the cheapest I have seen for a wall mounted electric fireplace so i guess you get what you pay for...

Best Deals for Fire Sense Black Wall Mounted Electric Fireplace

I love this, makes it feel cozy and warm and I don't even use the heat. The fan cannot be turned off, so you do hear it. For me that's OK as I only use it when we are watching TV. in the bedroom, but it's like a wall air conditioner; once you get use to it you don't notice it, at least for us. This one does NOT go into the wall, it hangs on a bracket you put on the wall, so it would not look good from the sides, again not a problem for us as you only see it from the front. Looks so real to me.

Honest reviews on Fire Sense Black Wall Mounted Electric Fireplace

Fireplace didn't work, called the manufacturer several times (as instructed) and got no response. After waiting a few weeks for our "within 24 hrs" response, we decided to cut our losses and send it back to Amazon. Grateful for Amazon's easy returns.

I liked this product in general. It looks rather real and also produces adequate heat. Unfortunately, I really did not have a place to put this that would make it look presentable, because the fireplace is affixed to the wall and cannot be recessed into the wall (because it needs ventilation for the heat part of the device), it looks rather awkward nailed to the wall with the big, clunky power cord. I knew this beforehand, but I did not know it would look so odd when placed on the wall. I eventually sold it to a friend. If you have an appropriate place to put this fireplace that disguises how it protrudes from the wall and downplays the power cord, I think this could work for you.

It works for what is intended to do, but after using it 2 or tree times, it now squeaks at the lower speed. I will get in there and find where to lube it, but didn't think I would have to do it right away. I was not expecting top of the line when I purchased it. It does push air as intended. Delivery was good as well.

I like the way it fit into the woodstove's opening, however, my husband did need to drill a couple of holes to attach it.

It does move a lot of air and does have a good variety of speeds.

The thing I personally, don't like is that it is noisy. but take into consideration, that I don't like noise. My husband doesn't mind it at all.

I wouldn't let this negative keep you from buying it.

I bought this fan to replace the noisy one that came with the 2000 series Country Hearth wood stove I bought from Tractor Supply. From the start that fan was junk. Very loud and it didn't move air well. I thought I was stuck with it though because I wasn't going to pay $100 or more for a new one.

I was surprised to find this one for $40 with decent reviews so I purchased it. When it arrived I tested it out and was amazed with how much quieter it was than the stock fan. I had to drill new holes into the back of my woodstove to attach it but that was easy. It fit perfectly and now I have a good fan for my wood stove.

This fan is fine. Like the other reviews and the instructions say, don't expect any huge noticebable air flow. I am using it in a shop with high ceilings however, so probably less noticeable in my case.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for PayandPack - Speed Variable S31105 Blower 110V ~ 120V for GHP

I expected the amount of air movement would be noticeable, it isn't. The fan is not noisy, but you can definitely hear it running. The cord is six feet long. Considering you should have a two foot clearance from the back of your stove to the nearest wall. that leaves only four feet of cord left. so unless you have a receptacle really close, you are going to need an extension cord. The unit comes with a speed control, However mine does not seem to make much difference no matter what position I put it in.

I took the glass doors off my fireplace because I didn't like them and I love the screen I bought. But I hate going to bed with embers still burning because I can't close the damper. And I don't want to lose my inside warm air out the flue overnight. So this is the perfect solution. It just sticks to the front of the screen.

Approaching this product you may be hesitant, given its lower price than other fireplace covers. Having obtained one, I can say that it is well made: heavy with strong magnets, and certainly does the job. I'm pleased with it, and glad that I didn't spring for one that costs more but would be no more effective. Go for it!

This was the answer to when the fire is dying down at night but still has embers burning. It was not possible to close the damper so the open flue, of course, sucked the hot air out of the house. Now, we just put the blanket on the fireplace and it keeps the house much warmer.

The fabric is substantial and continues to look good after using the blanket for awhile. The magnets make it incredibly easy to use.

I love my litte cottage but it has no fireplace and only electric heat. That fact did not bother me until a couple of years ago when my neighborhood was without power for a week following a severe winter storm. Both me and my house survived the ordeal (thankfully no broken pipes despite temperatures in the 20's) but I swore I would be ready for the next one. And so the hunt for an altnerante heat source for emergencies began. I considered a wood stove but as someone who grew up with a wood stove I can tell you that despite the stylishly charming photos in the magazines they have their draw backs: they are messy, often burn too hot, expensive, and in my case they take up space my little cottage just did not have. Plus where do I store the fire wood?

This item was the perfect alternative.

First off, the antique bronze finish looks terrific, it looks both classic and modern at the same time. But let me tell you about the warmth. The flame heats up the metal and the metal radiates heat in every direction -fast! I definitely recommend a portable fireplace. I was surprised just how much heat this thing puts out. You can use it in fireplace mode with the gel fuel or put candles in it for every day use. The fuel is affordable but not cheap. Figure 2 cans at $2.50 each for a 3 hour burn. I use it occasionally for those times during the holidays when I want the charm of an open fire. Plus when the power goes out again I will be ready.

The gel fuel burns with more moisture in the air so don't be surpised if your windows steam up. This gets 5 stars in my book!

SEI Portable Indoor/Outdoor Fireplace

This really will give you some warmth if you live in an apartment or condo or small space. The fire really crackles and sounds like a real burning fireplace. Cool idea.

Best Deals for Southern Enterprises Portable Indoor/Outdoor Fireplace

I have to say it's nice looking, lightweight and does its job. I don't think it gives off quite as much heat as I'd like and it doesn't last very long, about two hours, with two cans. (But that's more of a complaint about the fuel, which is expensive by the way.) The unit is overpriced for what it is since it just houses the cans and flames. Maybe its metal case does help with the movement of heat but really it is just a metal case with cute glass windows and two wells for holding cans. I would really be impressed if it was priced more reasonably like $40.

Honest reviews on Southern Enterprises Portable Indoor/Outdoor Fireplace

The concept of alcohol-gel indoor fireplaces was a revelation for me, living in a small apartment without a fireplace. It enlivens the atmosphere while providing a small amount of heat. This model was very reasonably priced compared to others I saw, but I agree with another reviewer that it's ultimately an overpriced piece of metal. Still, other models were more expensive, so I feel it was worth it.

After installing a larger three burner version in a friend's condo (see my review of SEI Black Arch Top Wall Mount Gel Fuel Fireplace) I wanted one for our place, and liked the fact that this one could be moved around to different rooms. Couldn't be happier!

Hint: It is not necessary to use the included adhesive mounting tape for the glass panels, as they will not come out unless the entire unit is inverted. Leaving them loose allows for easier cleaning down the road.
