Pros and cons of this electronic portable fireplace
By Nuknuk
This is conveniently portable, you can carry it from one room to another, even if you have been using it for sometime. The heat is coming from the bottom and doesn't heats up the handles that are on the top. It uses two 40W E12 lamps that can be replaced from the back.

Pros:
- wonderful magical fireplace display. It looks like an authentic fire unless you are very close to it.
- no assembly required

Cons:
- Not extremely loud but still makes noise even no heater is on.
- No authentic fire log crackling noise. Fireplace DVDs give you better experience on audio.
- It is blowing air on the bottom but not enough to spread the head across the room

Energy consumption:
I used a Kill-a-Watt to measure how much energy it consumes. This electronic fireplace has three rocker switches. The first one is for light display only. The other two switches is to turn on the heater. There are two rotating knobs. The one on the left is for the light display intensity. The one on the right is a dumb knob for the heater temperature. It is actually just a two step switch. It doesn't adjust gradually. Nothing happens until you turn the knob past halfway before the light on the second heater switch turns on. After passing halfway, the heat will not intensify more even if you turn the knob all the way to the highest setting.

Light only, dimmest setting = 53W
Light only, brightest setting = 78W
Light + 1 heater switch = 731W
Light + 2 heater switches = 1,311W

Decorative and Functional
By B. Niedt
Most of the space heaters I’ve bought in the past have been of the little cube variety, so this is easily the largest one I have owned. Still, it’s pleasantly designed, about the size of a small TV, with a black glass face that’s rather unobtrusive with the fire effects turned off. When they’re turned on, it won’t convince anyone that it’s real, but it’s still a decent approximation of a fireplace blaze. The heater can be operated without the fireplace effects and vice versa. There is a variable heat setting along with two toggle switches for 700 and 1400-watt output. It’s an efficient unit that warms up a small to medium-sized room quickly. It’s relatively light and portable, and the surface doesn’t get too hot to handle. I think there’s a permanent place for this in my small but chilly family room.

Decorative and Effective
By Alec Rojas
I live in a warm weather climate, so I rarely use central heat. Most of the time I entrust the evenings and mornings to space heaters. This is more than suitable for the chilly mornings and evenings. Instead of a boring hot fan or lamp or disk, this is quite aesthetically pleasing. Yeah, the wood isn't super authentic and the flames are just digital representations on the screen behind the glowing pieces of wood. But it does provide a nice ambiance. The fan is a bit loud on the bottom, and most of the heat is shoved out through the bottom vent. This is fine in terms of making sure the room heats up in a uniform manner.

While not a direct replacement for 24/7 heating needs, the Dallas Electric Fireplace is more than effective to not only spruce up your room but make it cozy as well.

Verry useful kit
By Timothy C. Bartlett
Be forewarned!!!. Cutting into your wall is not a simple task.
This is NOT a window box it IS a kit to install a window unit through a wall you Will need to create a hole in the wall to put this through.

I've installed kits like this a few times it's a wonderful idea for a pertinent installation of what is normally considered a tacky yet important appliance.

Things you should know before starting this project.
Location of studs. (you will need to put this box in between studs never cut through a stud to install this device. If the stud spacing is to small consult a professional before you attempt an install. or risk you whole wall collapsing with half your roof.) if you must cut through a support you will need a double header and footer around the box.

Location of outlets and wires inside the wall
(You don't want to cut through any wire/pipe in your wall so don't put this OVER a plug as most plugs are dropped in from the attic or above(even if you live in a trailer.)

Ok dangerous part over with. :)

These last few items and hints are just for looks.
1. Get some molding to go around the exposed edge.
2. Have some foam or flashing to put on the outside of the box or risk water inside the wall in storms (basic stuff)
3. Have all the tools you'll need BEFOR you punch that hole in the wall.
4. Have a friend on standby just in case.

Not all kits will have molding or (make pretty) bits a bobs so expect to go to a home supply outlet of some-sort

Installing these isnt all that hard a proficient carpinder can do it in under an hour. But expect to spend most of the day on it. think weekend project take it slow.

Oh ya almost forgot.
run the AC on a flat surface for a while BEFORE you start in on the box and figure out how much of an angle you will need to insure the blasted thing drains OUTSIDE! and i mean let it run for a while it takes upwerds of 5 hrs to get a liquid buildup enough to drip.

Depending on the kit itself and your local humidity you may need to drill in a drain hole near the back of the kit (NOT THE AC) the kit! don't go drilling into your AC

Tools i used.
Tape Measure
Level
Drill
Hammer
nails/screws
Screwdriver bit for drill.
Saws-all
Flashlight
dust mask (drywall dust and junk)
screw driver (for where the drill wont catch)
old sheet/tarp
drill bits. one big one for starting the saws-all

(double header)
one to two 2x4's
Ripsaw (hand saw circular saw .. something to cut the 2x4)
LONG nails and or wood screws (DO NOT USE DRYWALL SCREWS)
Spare Drywall the hole inside will probably be larger than the required size for the box if you have to make a header. (drywall make pretty junk)
To make your life a little more easy use some header hangers (steel strips to hold up the header instead of just nails.

to create the header.
open the wall back untill you can see 3 studs
Cut the center stud out to the apropret gap.
Cut the 2x4's to the length to span the gap between the 2 outer studs you will need 4 of these.
Check your fit
Screw the 2x4's together lengthways to make them 4x4's
Use the hangers or nail in these new headers to the other studs and secure the center stud to the header. the connection point to the outer studs is the important part.
Pick where you want your box cut the outer hole and install.
Patch Drywall make it nice and install molding around the box slide the AC plug it in and enjoy the cold air. :)

Installation challening, good end product
By safadez
Pros:
This is a durable wall sleeve. With a little effort the pictures on the instructions can guide you through a solid installation that will be heavy duty. If you feel comfortable cutting through drywall and adding support beams to studs, you can handle this project in a weekend. Having this wall sleeve makes it easier to insulate around the sides of the A/C unit for an air-tight installation. Hot outside air stays out, cool inside air stays in.

Cons:
The instructions are very poorly written. They offer different details depending on the brand of wall sleeve, but it's not easy to determine the brand of this wall sleeve. I measured the dimensions and made my best guess from there.
Also not clear in the instructions is that you need to REMOVE THE BACK PANEL. You won't know this from the instructions. The back panel is a sheet of aluminum and a grate. The sheet of aluminum should be removed and the grate only placed in the back of the wall sleeve. I installed it with the aluminum in place and the A/C unit will overheat in about 3 minutes, shut off the compressor, and only blow hot air. Then the unit won't blow cold air again until it cools off again. ($65 service call later...) I removed the aluminum and left the grate and the A/C unit has been working fine. The hot air is now free to escape from the back of the wall sleeve.

I'd also like to see a water drip or spigot thread on the back of the wall sleeve. The condensation from the unit will collect in the wall sleeve and drain to the back where there are two holes in the lip of the sleeve. I rigged something to help it drip away from the unit, but it would have been preferrable to have something engineered as a part of the sleeve.

There were a few minor corners bent when my wall sleeve arrived. Better packaging could prevent this.

an ASTONISHINGLY lousy value
By L. Wick
This sheet-metal box is worth about twenty bucks. It doesn't come adequately packed, mine arrived in poor shape. The workmanship is indifferent, the foam baffles were attached incorrectly. The installation manual was written by someone with a strong aversion to communication.
