Brand: Antarctic Star
SKU: B07XKSR3T8

7.3Good · out of 10Rated from the listing's specs, no buyer reviews yet

The Antarctic Star 60" Recessed/Wall ticks most of the boxes we care about: 60 inches of fire across the wall, 1,500 watts of supplemental heat and a choice of 12 flame colors. It makes most sense for a living room built around one big wall; we rate it 7.3/10 from its listing.

Heater output, per the listing

The heat the listing states, next to a 400 sq ft coverage claim. Plenty to take the chill off the room you sit in; how far it reaches depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling, and our supplemental heat planner turns your room into a rough answer.

What it has going for it

What changes in your evenings

60 in wide, per the listing. A long, linear fire that can carry a whole feature wall. Check in the installation drawing whether the figure is the frame or the viewing area, then hold it against your wall cavity.

1,500 W, up to 400 sq ft claimed. Supplemental heat for the room you sit in: it takes the edge off a cold evening while the furnace stays turned down. The 400 sq ft figure is the seller's; real coverage depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling. Our supplemental heat planner puts it in numbers for your room.

12 flame colors. Classic orange for winter evenings, something bolder when friends are over, or just the embers glowing behind a movie. How real each setting looks is for your eyes to judge in the photos and videos; the count is the seller's. Our flame effects guide sorts the settings you'll use from the ones you'll forget.

Living room or bedroom?

For the living room, 60 inches of fire are wide enough to anchor a big wall. A 400 sq ft coverage claim is pitched at a main room, not a box room. All those flame colors are made for showing off when friends come round.

For a bedroom or a study, the timer switches it off after you fall asleep. The thermostat holds the temperature instead of baking the room. The low heat setting is gentle enough for a smaller room. The flame runs without heat, so it can glow on a warm night too.

On balance it is a living-room centrepiece that can also do a smaller room, not the other way round.

Great for you if…

You are building a feature wall around a big TV
You want the chill off one room on cold evenings
You like to change the mood of the room

Skip it if…

Your wall can't give it 60 in plus the clearances in the manual
You want it to replace your heating: it is supplemental heat for one room
You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

Price and cost per inch of width

$206.54 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated inch of width costs about $3.44. That puts it in the cheaper third of the 117 inserts we have a price for.

Cost per inch is only a rough yardstick: the heater, the flame options and the build count as much as the width.

Our take

The verdict

On the Antarctic Star 60" Recessed/Wall, 60 inches of fire across the wall is what caught our eye, and 1,500 watts of supplemental heat doesn't hurt either. No buyer reviews yet, so this Antarctic Star recessed or wall-mounted fireplace has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Antarctic Star: no word on the supply it needs. We'd pick it if you are building a feature wall around a big TV; otherwise, put it next to the Burutpike 50" Ultra-Thin Recessed/Wall first.

Living with it

Delivery day

A big, flat box with glass inside: open it with two people and check the front before the cardboard goes out.

The first evening

Run through the flame colors once, then settle on the one that suits the room. The 1,500 W heater takes the chill off the room you sit in.

Day to day

The remote on the sofa arm, the thermostat set once, the timer for bedtime, and a quick dust of the glass now and then. Our maintenance guide has the rest.

Summer

Heater off, flame on: the glow stays on the wall in July without warming the room.

The one thing we'd check first

One thing to settle before the Antarctic Star 60" Recessed/Wall ships: check your wall, because the 60-inch figure has to match your opening, and a listing width can mean the frame or just the viewing area.

Before you buy

Your wall

Draw the opening on the wall with painter's tape at the real size, step back, and check it against the installation drawing. Our recessed installation guide lists the clearances to ask about.

The outlet

Pick the outlet before you pick the finish: a free one close by, nothing heavy on the same circuit, and no extension cord. Our power requirements guide lists the questions to ask.

Heat for your room

1,500 W stated. Treat it as supplemental heat for one room. Our supplemental heat planner turns your square footage into a rough answer.

Delivery and install

Glass-fronted inserts are big, flat boxes: plan two people for the unboxing, and decide early who frames the wall. Our built-in vs wall-mounted guide weighs recessed against wall-mounted.

How it compares

Our rating	7.3/10	7.3/10
Width	60 in	50 in
Flame colors	12	4

Both score 7.3/10. The Antarctic Star 60" Recessed/Wall brings a wider unit (60 in) and more flame colors (12), so it has the edge on paper.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Antarctic Star 60" Recessed/Wall any good?

We rate it 7.3/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

What size and heater output does the Antarctic Star 60" Recessed/Wall state?

Its listing states a 60-inch width, a 1,500 W heater output and recessed (in-wall) installation. Those are the maker's figures, so check in the installation drawing whether the width means the frame, the firebox or the opening. Our supplemental heat planner puts 1,500 W in context for your room.

What power supply does the Antarctic Star 60" Recessed/Wall need?

The listing states 1,500 W heater. Read the supply, plug and circuit conditions on the exact listing and in the manual before you order, and never run a heater on an extension cord or a shared power strip. Anything beyond an existing standard outlet, hardwiring or 240 V included, is a job for a licensed electrician.

What do you get with the Antarctic Star 60" Recessed/Wall?

Its listing states a 60-inch width, a 1,500 W heater, 12 flame colors, a flame that runs without the heat, a thermostat and a timer. Those are the seller's figures; for how real the flames look in a living room and how loud the fan runs at night, the buyer reviews are the better guide.

What should I check before ordering the Antarctic Star 60" Recessed/Wall?

Your wall: draw the opening on the wall with painter's tape at the real size, step back, and check it against the installation drawing. Our recessed installation guide lists the clearances to ask about. The outlet: pick the outlet before you pick the finish: a free one close by, nothing heavy on the same circuit, and no extension cord. Our power requirements guide lists the questions to ask. Heat for your room: 1,500 W stated. Treat it as supplemental heat for one room. Our supplemental heat planner turns your square footage into a rough answer. Delivery and install: glass-fronted inserts are big, flat boxes: plan two people for the unboxing, and decide early who frames the wall. Our built-in vs wall-mounted guide weighs recessed against wall-mounted.
