Real Flame 8020E-W Crawford Electric Fireplace Review
Are you looking for a beautiful fireplace whose mantel is made completely of wood? Do you want a piece that comes complete with the firebox already and that will fit easily in any modern living room, adding a touch of that technological feel while still paying homage to the fireplaces of the past? Maybe you’re just looking for an attractive fireplace and mantel to add some pizazz to you family room or even bedroom if you don’t want to deal with the huge costs of building and maintaining a “real” fireplace. After all, classic fireplaces require fuel, such as wood, coal, or flammable liquids, and they also require some sort of ventilation system, lest the fumes leech into your home and cause you health problems. Either way, the fumes from such a fire would be released into the atmosphere as pollution, and this is certainly not ideal.
Well, you don’t have to sacrifice your integrity for looks—you can have both with this electric fireplace! Because it is electric, it is both environmentally-friendly and convenient, requiring no fume-management or cleanup of any kind, since nothing will be burning inside your home. You can also adjust the heat manually, so you’ll never have to worry about being too hot or too cold in a room of up to 400 square feet. To make things even easier, it includes a remote so that you don’t have to leap across the room simply to adjust its settings. These settings cover many different adjustable functions, such as the intensity of the flame effects, the intensity of the heat coming from the heater, and the thermostat settings. There is also a timer that you can use if you would like to fall asleep next to the fireplace, but would like it to turn off on its own at some point during the night. This convenient function can be set with the remote as well.

Some assembly is required, but there are instructions and once you are done putting the mantel together, the rest is as easy as just plugging your new unit into a standard wall socket. There’s also some hardware the comes with this model that will help to keep it attached to the wall, otherwise it may be prone to toppling over. Everything you will need comes in the box, so you don’t have to worry about getting any extra materials.
