Editor's Note: This review has been removed from our side-by-side comparison because it no longer ranks as a top 10 product. The original review is below, but check out our current top 10 about Electric Fireplaces here.

The Frigidaire WLVF-10343 is a modern-style, wall-mounted electric fireplace with a handful of features to give your living area a sleek look. You can add heat to a large area of your home in just a matter of minutes and enjoy the atmosphere a fireplace can provide, with or without heat.

You get the standard two heat settings on this electric fireplace – low and high. You can even just have the effect of flames without heat. This option gives you the ambiance of a real fireplace without heating your home.

This unit is designed to heat a room of up to 400 square feet. The low heat setting draws 750 watts of power and has a Btu capacity of 2,500, while the high heat setting draws 1,500 watts and has a Btu capacity of 5,000 to heat the room – all of which is pretty standard for an electric fireplace.

This Frigidaire fireplace has a digital display with touchscreen controls, making it simple to operate and adding to its modern look. It also comes with rock inserts and an LED flame effect. You can even adjust the flame and flicker. These features give the unit a more realistic fireplace look.

This electric wall fireplace weighs 32.4 pounds and measures 35.5 x 22.2 x 3.8 inches. This is a pretty average size and weight for an electric fireplace. If you plan to install it above or below a television or above a piece of furniture, you'll want to make sure to leave at least 36 inches of space in between.

You don't get a timer on this unit, which would let you bypass the automatic shut-off for a specified time, but it does have other convenience features that we like to see. For instance, you can operate it with the remote control, which makes it easy to turn on and off from across the room. The automatic shut-off safety feature ensures the unit doesn't overheat. Furthermore, you can install the unit yourself with the included mounting hardware.

This Frigidaire fireplace has the one-year warranty that most electric fireplaces have. You can contact the manufacturer for support by phone and email. Frigidaire doesn't, however, provide live chat for contact on its website. You can, though, view the product manual and a list of FAQs on its website, which are helpful.

The Frigidaire WLVR-10343 wall-mount electric fireplace has a number of convenience features that make it easy to operate and a number of modern design features that give any living space you add it to a sleek look. You can also enjoy its ambiance with or without heat. Overall, it's a decent electric fireplace with most of the standard perks.
