Very few reviews -- too new to trust for a semi-permanent home installation.

Why So Few Reviews Is a Hard Stop for Wall Installations
Electric fireplaces require cutting a hole in your wall, running electrical, and installing trim. If the unit fails after 6 months, you are left with patching drywall and potentially hiring an electrician. The R.W.FLAME 68-inch has strong feedback from a large buyer base. A product with only a handful of reviews cannot tell you whether the flame effect, heater, or remote will hold up. Wait until this unit has a much larger review base before considering it.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lower price than the Touchstone models
- Adjustable flame and remote control included
Cons
- Very few reviews -- cannot confirm reliability for wall installation
- Tornivk is an Amazon-first brand without established review history
- R.W.FLAME and Touchstone have far larger buyer bases in the same category
Bottom Line
Skip the Tornivk 23-Inch. Buy the R.W.FLAME 68-inch for the most proven large format, or the Touchstone Sideline for smart home integration. Revisit Tornivk when they have a much larger review base.
