Duplicating\u00a0the beauty and feel of a real fireplace, but without the issues, pollution,\u00a0or costs, this fireplace insert is one that most homeowners will love. At less than $200, it is also\u00a0one of the best values on the market today for an electric heater-fireplace combo.<\/p>\n

Features<\/h2>\n

1. Beautiful traditional design<\/h3>\n

If you are not a fan of sleek contemporary inserts<\/a>, then this is for you. The brick and log\u00a0traditional design closely resemble that of a traditional log fireplace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The exterior is black with a curved front panel glass. There are also fake doors and knobs on the front to complete the traditional look.<\/p>\n

\"AKDY<\/p>\n

However, this is not to mean that it will\u00a0only fit in a traditional style d\u00e9cor home. If you have a more contemporary interior, then the AKDY black electric fireplace insert could\u00a0provide a nice contrast.<\/p>\n

For\u00a0an even more rustic\u00a0look, you can remove\u00a0the front glass panel.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0build is solid, with no hint of cheapness or subpar quality.<\/p>\n

The flames look very realistic, giving the whole device a feeling of home. It’s a perfect choice for those who want a modern, efficient fireplace but with a classic look.<\/p>\n

2. Excellent heat output<\/h3>\n

The AKDY black electric fireplace insert is not just good-looking; it is also an excellent room heater.<\/p>\n

At 1500 watts, the insert can comfortably heat a typical room\u00a0of 400 square feet or smaller.<\/p>\n

Please note that you will experience a poor heat output if you use it in a large room. Use it in relatively small spaces for the best heat performance. To help with heat output, the insert contains a single quiet-operation fan.<\/p>\n

The heat is controlled automatically by a thermostat, which maintains the temperature at a constant level.<\/p>\n

Also note that you can turn off the heat, leaving just the flames burning. This makes it ideal for use all year round.<\/p>\n

3. Quiet operation<\/h3>\n

The noise level of electric fireplace inserts can be an issue with some units. Some come with unpleasant crackling sounds, while others have a loud constant hissing while others have a fan that is too loud.<\/p>\n

The AKDY black electric fireplace insert has none of these issues. It is one of the quietest electric fireplace inserts you can buy<\/strong>.\u00a0There is no hissing or crackling, and when the fan is running, you will hardly notice it.<\/p>\n

4. Realistic flame effect<\/h3>\n

\"AKDY<\/p>\n

The flame effect of a fireplace insert is one of the most important aspects. The feel and look of the faux flames is the whole reason why people buy these devices.<\/p>\n

This AKDY insert does not disappoint when it comes to recreating the traditional flame appearance.<\/p>\n

The company uses a patented electric flame technology<\/strong> to create a very realistic look. You can modify the flames further using the remote control to get the perfect look for you.<\/p>\n

One other aspect that the insert performs very well is the ember bed<\/strong>. When turned on, it has the look of real burning logs. When you turn the flames off, the device does not turn completely dark; it produces the appearance of glowing embers.<\/p>\n

5. Remote control<\/h3>\n

\"AKDY<\/p>\n

Enjoy the AKDY fireplace insert from the comfort of your couch. With the accompanying remote control, there is no need to keep standing up to change a specific setting.<\/p>\n

The compact remote contains settings for power on\/off, temperature, flames, and brightness. Create the experience you want with the touch of a button.<\/p>\n

If you happen to lose the remote or if it is damaged, the top of the front panel contains buttons to change the settings.<\/p>\n

Customer Reviews<\/h2>\n

The AKDY fireplace insert gets\u00a0very positive\u00a0reviews from customers. It currently has a rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most customers compliment\u00a0the overall design of the insert, specifically noting\u00a0the realistic flame technology and the nice exterior look. Many also love the simple installation process.<\/p>\n

The heat output has also been satisfying to most users.<\/p>\n

Concerns<\/h2>\n

One of the biggest concerns involves using the insert in a big room.<\/p>\n

As mentioned before, the heat output is designed for a room measuring a maximum of 400 square feet. If you use it in\u00a0something too big, you will not get the heating effect you are looking for. Use it in a larger\u00a0room if you only want the insert for its look.<\/p>\n

Another common concern with customers involves remote control. It is a bit small and can easily get lost, forcing you to have to stand up to change the settings or turn the insert off.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Simply put, the AKDY fireplace insert is an excellent<\/em> value<\/em>. It performs well in different areas, and in some cases, does even better than more expensive models.<\/p>\n

For people who want a fireplace insert that is\u00a0simple, cheap,\u00a0and beautiful, this is it.<\/p>\n
