Is this called "clean face" because it looks like there are no visible vents on the top or bottom of the unit? Or does it have to do with something else?

Are there decorative grills available for this fire place?
1 Answer
No, the point of the "Clean Face" fireplace is to have no louvers on the front. You might want to look at the Empire Tahoe Deluxe Direct Vent Natural Gas Fireplace - 36" which can have decorative louver overlays added.

Excellent Product
We wanted a gas fireplace in our new house but the builders did not offer it as an option. After much research, we decided to buy the Empire Tahoe Deluxe Direct Vent Natural Gas Fireplace. It was easy to install and we love the ambiance and ease of operation.
Pros
- Easy to install.
Cons
- Some of the instructions are somewhat vague.

Beautiful fireplace insert- 32"
This is not only beautiful but well made- it arrived in perfect condition- packaging kept it protected. The instructions were well illustrated and easy to follow. It was installed easily. I also purchased the blower which again was easily installed. It is very efficient and uses minimal propane and is so clean!

This fireplace is very nice looking. The 48in size is eye catching. Very happy with it.

Nice looking unit
The physical installation went well and was about 4 hours (It was a replacement, which makes it a bit more difficult) Once in place, it is going to look nice when the the rock work is replaced. It is not yet in service, as an installer is coming tomorrow to hook up electrical & gas. To sum up, I am happy with the unit.
Pros
- Looks good,
- install went well

Looks Great
Was an easy instillation with minimal issues and the instructions were clear. Within 5 hours of when I began, I had it up and running. Now all I have to do is sheet rock and finish around the fireplace. I found the flexible vent easy to install, and the outside trim kit for the vinyl siding made it all a breeze. With the log set and the embers, it looks very real and easily heats my family room.
Pros
- Can be installed with only one person. The gas and electrical are simple and clear to follow.

Nice fireplace for the price.
Nice box with close clearances. I wish the flame would adjust higher. Some of the painting on the vents is poor quality. The instructions were very detailed. The blower motor I ordered did not work, so I'll get to see what kind of customer service is offered.

Very nice fireplace.
The fireplace installed very easy. I used the venting system recommended by the staff and all went very well. I had to cut through my wall to vent, so install took 7 hrs total time. I did a corner install and it looks and works great. I would have given 5 stars if the flame was a little stronger. This will work many years for me. I am very pleased with the product.

Real Deal
My family was building a family room and wanted to add a nice gas fireplace. Our builders pricing put us into a sticker shock. I had hesitation on the quality of an on-line fireplace. I called the customer service person to walk me through buying the entire kit.
Myself and my builder were both, pleasantly surprised. Good quality, good performance, great price.
Blower fan is tad noisy on high, other than that..... zero complaints.

So Easy to Install
Just purchased the Empire Tahoe fireplace and I'm very impressed with how easy it was to install. All the instructions were easy to follow. They had already converted it to propane. It looks beautiful and works great. This is the 3rd propane direct vent fireplace that I have installed and I would buy the Empire Tahoe again.

Flame is not large enough
As advertised but flame is uninspiring - delivery was problematic but rep was attentive and granted $50 discount as a result and really can't fault eFireplace. Fake brick is extra as well as a host of other things. such as remote, blower,, brick liner, etc. - basically paying $1300 for a folded metal box with gas outlet. 55" LG 4k tv seems cheap in comparison.

Great fireplace but not so easy to install
The fireplace looks geat and works well. We like it a lot. The problem(s) were all related to installation documentation. Drawings did not match the product received. Quality of drawings were less satisfactory. In some cases it was impossible to determine the proper orientation of the venting and related accessories. We called eFireplaceStore and 2 out of 3 times had to contact the manufacturer. To get the manufacturer (Empire) to talk to us we had to say we were an "installer". If you said you were the home owner, they would not talk with you "for safety/liability reasons". (I understand that). To be fair, Empire is the one who needs to clean up their installation documents. The last call we made regarding the remote switch, the technician had us pull wires from under the fireplace to connect the remote even though the instructions specifically have you connect the remote to the TP lugs on the control body. I only found confirmation of that later when I Googled it and found others reporting the same discrepancy. Again, this is an Empire issue. Be ready to Google this to find answers to specific installation issues.
Pros
- Well build. Simple to install once you have proper instructions.
Cons
- Unclear and misleading instructions.

No False Advertising Here!
The fireplace I ordered was exactly as pictured and described. Prior to ordering I had some general questions and their associate was very helpful and well informed about the products. The unit and all parts were very well packed to be protected from damage during shipping. Pricing was excellent when compared to other suppliers for the same product. Highly recommend and would purchase from again.

This is a decent fireplace for the price. I didn't get a blower or auto-ignition or remote. I will be ordering the remote and wish I had put the wall switch in and purchased the electronic ignition model.
Decent flame, puts off good heat even on low.

Great item
This arrived on time and well packaged. Instructions were excellent and it installed quickly. I had shopped around and found most fireplaces to be much more expensive. I have purchased half a dozen over the past years or so; some upwards of $2k. At the end of the day, they all kick out a flame. Naturally,, the $2k unit looks better .... but not THAT much better. I wish I had bought the remote control, which I will be adding today.

Great Fireplace For the Money
This is a very nice looking fireplace when someone compares it with the price tag. The only real negative to be discussed is that the flames really do not get all that high.
