Who it's for
Right buyer. You want a traditional fireplace-shaped electric fire built into a new wall at a modest price, with the log set in the box.
Wrong buyer. You want WiFi, Bluetooth or glowing media; the TRD lines.
How it performs

Good to know

Questions
Does it need a dedicated circuit?
Yes. The heater draws around 1,500 watts on 120 volts, most of a 15-amp circuit, so give the fireplace an outlet of its own and never an extension cord. Models with a 240-volt option are hardwired by an electrician.
How much does it heat?
The heater is supplemental: it warms the room you sit in, about 400 square feet on 120 volts, not the house. The flames run without heat on a few watts.
Can it go outdoors?
Only the models Amantii rates indoor-outdoor, and only under cover, protected from rain and direct sun; check the specification sheet linked below for your size.
Can I change the media later?
Yes. The log sets, glass and media kits are separate parts and drop into the media bed; the ones sold on this page are matched to the size.
What does the app do?
On WiFi models the Amantii app controls power, flame color, brightness and speed, the heater and timers from your phone; the remote in the box does the same from the sofa.
Can I return it?
Electric fireplaces are large, glass-fronted and shipped by freight. Confirm the size and the opening with us before you order, and contact us before returning anything.
