Wall Mounted Electric Fireplace (0.7 m) Review: cool fake flames, no actual heat

★★★★★ ★★★★★

Overall, this 0.7 m wall-mounted water vapor fireplace is a nice decor gadget with a realistic-enough flame effect, but it’s important to be honest about what it is. It doesn’t heat, it doesn’t crackle, and up close it’s clearly just mist and LEDs. As a visual mood piece, it does the job: the flames...
