Sideline Elite Smart Electric Fireplace with Encase Surround Mantel

Love the cozy feeling this fireplace with surround mantel give the room. The only drawbacks are the blower fan has two speeds and even on the highest speed you can only feel it if you’re within 12”-18” from it. Although it gradually warms the room a little bit. For reference, our space is approx. 15’x18’ and ’is within an open floor plan so that may account for any difficulty warming our space. The directions to assemble the mantel we would rate as bad to awful. No written directions and the images aren’t much help. Otherwise this item would have gotten a 5 star rating. The end result is still worth the frustration of poor assembly instructions.

We purchased this fireplace for our living room and it was easy to install and looks beautiful. I was worried about purchasing an electric fireplace sight unseen, but it turned out to be realistic and just what I was looking for.

The encasement does not line up at the seams. Not a problem if you don't examine it closely. Of course, my eyes go right to them each time I look at it.

This really sets off my loft! Modern, easy to assemble and the crystals are a nice way to update the look over the fake log set

The fireplace looks beautiful in our great room. It fits together easily and correctly. We love it

What a great look for my rec room that is always a cool temp. Classy look and works great.

Easy to assemble. Looks amazing and love the many colors for the coals and fire. The fire part flows upward high enough to accommodate the height so it doesn’t appear that all of the action is only at the bottom of the fireplace. Very satisfied.

Love it even more than I’d hoped! Different color options are great and the mantle is perfect.

There are several great choices for flame colors as well as intensity The fan has a couple settings that allowed us to keep the room warm.

I was able to put this fireplace together by myself - it looks amazing! I did hire a handyman to cut out my baseboard so that it would sit flush against the wall which made it more integrated into the space. It produces enough heat while connected to a 120 plug to heat my 300 SF room. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a really nice electric fireplace. AND - the flames are beautiful!
