Zanussi ZEFIST1003B 2 KW Black Electric Inset Fire Stove with 2 Heat Settings, Timer and Remote Control, Independent LED Flame Effect, 20-30 m2 Room Size

Fitted the pre-existing fireplace we have perfectly. Looks great, and whilst the fake flame effect isnt going to fool anyone that it's a real fire, it creates a lovely glow and warms the room quickly without being overbearing (unlike our previous log burner). Its by no means noisy, but you do hear when the fan comes on - its quiet enough to not disturb you at all but just be aware it's not silent. The best feature is the thermostat control, so that you can set it and forget it. Brilliant value, really chuffed with it.

The fire looks great and works well, took me a while to remember the remote for it got timer so you can have it on before you come down in the morning, has heat control built in to it.

Ok, so this is not going to convince anyone it’s a real fire, but it’s actually pretty good! Bought for my late father’s house that we were selling just to make it look presentable (previous fire was very old) and it actually looked modern and heated the room rapidly.

Really impressed with the heat this fire kicks out, replacing an old fire that cut out after 10 mins. Have the lights on most nights just for the effect but on colder evenings warms my 23 ft room quite quickly. Really good value for money.

Glad, after much searching this one popped up from nowhere. The fire fits my standard 16" fireplace perfectly and definitely looks the biz'. The flame effect with pebbles is excellent and the features, controlable with the remote, are absolutely spot on. Importantly the fan is a quiet and ecceptable background hum - so overall and providing this fire continues to work as-is I will be extremely happy I bought it - especially at the price! One glitch, however, on trying to register the fire for an extra warranty I can find no sign of it on any of the Zanussi websites. The product codes or description are NOT recognised by any of them. I will try to phone their customer service to query this, meanwhile I have the statutory 12 months warranty with Amazon.

Nice looking fake fire and does the job.

The media could not be loaded. Please don't be confused by my video and thinking this Zanussi fire is not the one displayed...it is! Firstly, I ordered 2 different Electric Fires previously and had to return as they both did not inset fully into the fireplace recess, contrary to the specifications given. I was losing hope, then saw this Zanussi fire which when reading the dimensions, I thought it would better suit the space. I took a chance and ordered it from the Amazon Warehouse which was described as "Used:Like New" with the details that the fire was unused but the box would be damaged. Given the condition of the boxes the 2 previous fires arrived in, and it was £30 cheaper than "Brand New", I ordered it, and so glad I did! The Warehouse had a promotion of a further 10% discount, and so I purchased this fire for £82...a bargain! The fire itself was in perfect condition but it did not fit fully in the fireplace recess. I posted a Customer Question and was delighted to receive a reply from another buyer of this same fire, and was told you can buy a spacer to cover the small gap between the fire itself and the recess space. Now knowing what a spacer was, I decided to take the spacer off my old fire and try it on this new Zanussi fire, and it fitted perfectly! In time, I may buy the spacer made for this fire, but in the meantime I'm happy to use this old one. The fire itself is brilliant! The 2 fan settings are great and heat the room sufficiently and in no time at all, even on the lower setting. All fans create noise when switched on, but even at the higher setting, this fire in no way interferes with watching the TV or having a conversation. The flame effect is far superior than my old Dimplex Fire and is great as it now gives my room a softer warm ambiance. I now regret not changing it much sooner. Given my old Dimplex Fire was £350 29yrs ago, I can't complain and I definitely got a lot of use from it. I 100% recommend this fire, providing it suits your space and pocket. Though at £82, you can't really go wrong. This is one of my best purchases and I absolutely love it!

Heat would come on for a few minutes then shut down heater would run for a few seconds then shut down againThis would repeat over and over again never giving off enough heat to make a difference
