Video Transcript for Greystone RV Fireplaces - Recessed Mount Fireplace - 324-000068 Review

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at a Greystone 26" electric fireplace with the crystals located here in the bottom. This fireplace adds or replaces a fireplace in your RV. It does come with the wireless remote so that way you can operate the unit from a distance. If you want to manually control it, the manual controls are built in right here on the unit. It's a really nice design. It looks great.

I'll hook it up to power here in a moment and show you what it looks like.I do want to mention that it is CSA certified. It features a nice design. We've got proper ventilation, three-prong power plug designed for 15 amp outlets or circuits and it is designed to be used on 120 volt systems. I do want to plug it and it just go ahead and show you what it looks like. I'll need to turn off the overhead lights so you can see it in a low light setting.So, the fireplace uses LEDs for lighting and coloring.

So, we'll press our Power button and it automatically comes on at L5, which is the brightest setting that we have. We have multiple settings that we can use the button right here, which is right next to Power button, to control the settings. We have L5, L4, L3, L2, and L1 and then goes back to L5. Also, there's four colors to choose from. So you have yellow, and then if you hold down the manual control button that we used to change the brightness, if you hold that down for 3 seconds it'll change the color.

So we go from yellow to red, and then we can go from red to blue, and then we go from blue to a mix of yellow and blue, and then it goes back to yellow. So again, four colors to choose from. With each color you can choose between those brightness settings.The unit features a nice heater, so we have a heater control as well. It has settings also, so we have Low heat, High heat, and then we have Auto.We have our temperature control which we can adjust anywhere from 62 to 82 degrees, and it adjusts in increments of 1 degree.We have our Power button which allows it to be turned Off and On with the simple push of the button.Again, we can do all of this with the included remote as well. The only thing we can't do is change between colors.

You do have to do that manually.So you can control the temperature, flame intensities, the heater, and flames can be used together or independently.And then we also have a timer with can be adjusted from 30 minutes, to 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour, 4 hour, 5 hour, 6 hour, 7 hour, 8 hour, and 9 hour. So we have a lot of adjustment there with the timer.Now I also want to point out that it does come with the trim kit. It offers a really nice finished look to the unit. Now this is glass, so we have to be careful when we're removing it, but to remove it I like to put my hands right in these two areas here, just like little pockets, and you can lift up, and then you can pull that off. So this is our trim kit. Again, glass so be very careful with that, but with that removed you can see that this where the trim piece actually holds onto. And then we have our mount holes for a permanent installation, and when the trim kit's installed, when that finished piece is installed, it overs that so it offers a really nice clean finished look once it's all the way installed. Mounting hardware is included and the holes are pre-drilled for an easier installation. And then to put that back on we just place it on there, we line everything up, and we just let it kind slide back down into place.Located on the bottom are four feet. Those can be removed also if needed. The feet add a quarter inch to the overall height of the unit, so the overall measurements, I took measurements for you, edge to edge in this direction is 28 3/8" wide, from very front to very back is 6 7/16" deep, and the overall height without the feet or not including the feet is 21 3/8" tall, with the feet is around 21 5/8" tall. Now the installation opening dimensions, you'll need basically, is the same measurements as this box back here, 26" wide by 20 1/2" tall, 21" tall including the feet. That's the opening size that you need, by 6" inches deep. Now remember the 6" depth measurement is taken from the back of the glass to the back of the unit here. That does measure 6" but you want to allow for a little bit of room for proper ventilation, so usually on fireplaces like this they recommend a 1/2" to 3/4" of an inch of space here at the back, so 6" right here but you want to allow for about 6 1/2 to 6 3/4" of depth.The mount holes that I pointed out earlier, on that piece right here, so you can see them, one here, one here, separated up and down on center, 15 3/4". Side to side on center those holes we're separated by about 27 3/16".That's going to do it for today's look at the Greystone 26" electric fireplace with the crystal and LED design.
