Reviews

This fireplace is amazing! We

"This fireplace is amazing! We replaced a very old zero clearance wood fireplace. The fireplace shipped in a timely manner and was delivered to the front door. Installation went well with no issues. The fireplace puts out a nice warm breeze that does not get the furniture too hot and fills the living room nicely. It has many features that allow you to find just the right setting for the mood. We now can enjoy a cozy fire every night without the work, smoke smell or safety concern. We highly recommend the Modern Ember Trad Fireplace!"

Very nice electric fireplace. Used

"Very nice electric fireplace. Used it to replace an old worn gas insert. Almost looks like it could be gas, with a slight recess and logs inside. Quiet and effective heater, color options, and even the crackling sound is nice at the right level. Happy with this choice."
