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.

Great Deal
I was very hesitant to buy a fireplace online, but after going all over town, eFireplaceStore offered the best deal ever. Arrived within 7 days, all parts were present and it was very easy to install. My husband was able to do it by himself with the great instructions. Been working for two weeks, no issues.

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.
ProsWell build. Simple to install once you have proper instructions.
ConsUnclear 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.

Nice unit for the price.
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.
