Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Hello,

My Frigidaire OWF-10303 Oslo Wall Hanging LED Fireplace arrived today and right away I unpacked it and set everything up. It arrived double boxed keeping the unit safely packed including the glass front. A double folded edge steel plate is included for wall hanging, this type of hanger is easy to use and strong. The fireplace weighs 44 lbs. so be sure to screw the hanger plate into at least two studs, the more the better. Once hanging or placed add the included opaque white stones along the bottom inside the firebox, they look like glowing coals when the LED flames are running. Next you need to mount he glass, it goes on very easy but does weigh a bit. Once running the fire looks almost real! you can change colors from green to red to blue or a combination of colors at once, I prefer the orange fire as it looks like a real fire. The heater is a basic resistance wire that looks like it came out of a hairdryer, I'd rather it have a quartz tube element but it is what it is. It gives off plenty of heat pushed by a blower with high and low settings, a vent in the top is where the heat comes out. You can run the LED flame with or without the heater running so it can be used year round. This would look great placed inside a regular fireplace, it fits in mine and looks very real in that location. A remote control is included too, you can control the heat settings plus change the LED flame color. I do hear motor noise when the LED flame is running alone,it isn't loud but noticeable if near the unit.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Right out of the box, the Frigidaire OWF-10303 Oslo Wall Hanging LED Fireplace is fairly easy to install. The manufacturer provides a steel mounting plate which simplifies the installation. But, since the fireplace weighs approximately 40 pounds, it is critical that you find wall studs when mounting the plate. We would also recommend having at least two people since after adding the pebbles you need to mount the glass. It isn't heavy, but it is somewhat awkward for one person. The LED "fire" is fairly realistic when set to ORANGE. The color changing feature seems somewhat unnecessary to us since changing the "flame" to any other color than orange makes the unit look completely unrealistic. The unit provides a decent amount of heat; but it comes from vents on the top of the unit which doesn't make a lot of sense to us since heat rises. We also are a little concerned about the amount of heat it produces so close to the wall. Fortunately, there are both high and low settings on the heater fan, and the "flame" can be run with or without the heater on. The remote control is a nice feature; but, as stated, we will only be using it to turn the "flame" and/or heater on and off -not to change the color of the flame. We bought the "fireplace" for our bedroom. Be aware that the unit emits a dull motor noise even with only the "flame" effect on. If you need silence to sleep, this could be a deterrent. Personally, we would have liked to see the manufacturer include a faint "crackling" sound. We think it could have made the unit seems just a little more realistic, and we also think it may have compensated for the dull motor noise. Our final conclusion is that the "fireplace" is average, and based on our experience it is too expensive to be considered a good value for your dollar.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The fire in this picture is much more interesting than the pretend fireplaces you can play on the television. I have a couple of the videos, one in blu-ray even, and they seem to run on a ten second repeat that makes it kind of cheesy. The picture on this fireplace, especially once the colors kick in, makes it a lot more interesting and playful.

Probably one of the most important parts of the installation is the decision of where on the wall you would like it up higher where it can be viewed as a picture, or lower, where you can sit next to it and toast your feet while you are reading a book.

This is best a one time decision as the molly anchors that fit into the wall are large and make a serious row of holes across the wall. There are five of them that hold a long bracket on the wall. You don't want to move it around and repair all of those. The bracket is what the unit hangs on. There are two more on the lower side that give an added sense of security and more importantly, to hold the unit about 1/8 an inch away from the wall for airflow.

Anyway, we placed it lower because the heat comes out of the top of the fireplace. I'm sure that made sense in terms of not letting the heat come back into the unit. However, if you put it up higher on the wall, then the heating part becomes useless as heat will not flow downward.

Some hints to make it easier: Before we started moving anything around, we removed the glass from the front of the unit as that seems to account for most of its weight and fragility. It is much easier to move the unit around without it. We used a spirit level to make a straight line along the wall for the bracket. We used a ¼ inch drill bit to put the molly anchors in. The installation took about a half an hour.

My last and most important consideration is that placing this low on the wall means that children and pets are vulnerable to it. The glass is heavy and the corners are sharp.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire OWF-10303 Oslo Wall Hanging LED Fireplace

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have the Dallas model version which is portable and can easily transported from one room to another. The Oslo model is bigger and is intended to be mounted on a wall. Instead of logs, it comes with a bag of real white rocks that you spread on the bottom to enhance the effect.

Pros:

wonderful color display

includes a remote control

no assembly required

Cons:

the front glass panel has a wide black frame which significantly decreased the area of the actual display.

It is mainly a light show and it is not even close to what an real fire looks like.

if you are buying this for heating the space, you will be disappointed

Not extremely loud but still makes noise even no heater is on.

No authentic fire log crackling noise. Fireplace DVDs give you better experience on audio.

It is blowing air on the top (as opposed to the portable "Dallas" model

Caution:

The front glass panel can easily detached. Be careful when lifting this off the ground during installation.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I thought I was going to just LOVE this, and after trying to figure out where to put this, I found this to be not as awesome as I thought it'd be. This is just an odd fit in our house, our living room already has a real fireplace, so we tried it around the family room? Nope, bedrooms? Nope. In the fireplace? It sadly didn't fit. I didn't like the way this looks anywhere, it does look tacky, it's not like having a gas fireplace.

I do also have a high concern of any effects on my wall from the heater over a period of time, since this seems fairly new, I haven't found any reviews on problems, well honestly, if you search around, you'll find only reviews on Amazon at the moment.

It's not as quiet as I'd like it to be, while no it's not obnoxious, it's not soothing to sit on your couch and hear your wall fireplace not making fire sounds.
