My sister bought an electric fireplace a few months ago, I had no idea they had such a product until she told she was going to buy one. Then when I saw a picture of it in her house it got my attention. It seems like these are all the rage as I have been seeing electric fireplaces all over the place. It can be really nice to have one, especially if you live in an apartment and you want that look and feel, if you ever move you can take it with you. Or if you have your own home you can have one in one room and switch to different rooms if you wanted to. I also heard that they actually give off heat and warm up your home. They are not that expensive as you can find some for as low as a few hundred dollars.
