The two electric fireplace inserts closest to it on our rating, with a dated price.



The heat the listing states, next to 5,120 BTU and 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
26 in wide, per the listing. A compact size for a narrow wall, a bedroom or a study. 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 / 5,120 BTU, 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.
8 flame colors, 6 ember-bed 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.
For the living room, 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, at 26 in wide it fits a bedroom wall or a study. The timer switches it off after you fall asleep. The flame runs without heat, so it can glow on a warm night too.
On balance it is happiest in a bedroom, a study or a cosy corner.
The seller states, word for word, in the COSTWAY 26" Insert, Remote listing:
Experience consistent, comfortable warmth with 1500W high-performance heating and 5120 BTU output.
Create the perfect ambiance with 8 adjustable flame colors and 6 ember bed colors.
Switch to combined heat and flame mode in winter for both warmth and atmosphere, making it a versatile home addition in any season.
Built with overheat protection and CSA certification.
Hold these against the manual of the exact model before you order.

What the COSTWAY 26" Insert, Remote listing names:
Check the opening, the depth and the outlet against your wall before you order.

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated inch of width costs about $4.31. 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
We like the COSTWAY 26" Insert, Remote for a 26-inch width and a 1,500 W heater. No buyer has reviewed it yet, so our 6.7/10 comes from the spec sheet alone. The catch with this COSTWAY electric fireplace insert: no word on the supply it needs. We'd pick the COSTWAY if you have a narrow wall or a bedroom to warm up; otherwise, put it next to the BOSSIN 50" Ultra-Thin Linear first.
A big, flat box with glass inside: open it with two people and check the front before the cardboard goes out.
Run through the flame colors once, then settle on the one that suits the room. The 1,500 W / 5,120 BTU heater takes the chill off the room you sit in.
The remote on the sofa arm, the timer for bedtime, and a quick dust of the glass now and then. Our maintenance guide has the rest.
Heater off, flame on: the glow stays on the wall in July without warming the room.
One thing to settle before the COSTWAY 26" Insert, Remote ships: check your wall, because the 26-inch figure has to match your opening, and a listing width can mean the frame or just the viewing area.
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.
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.
1,500 W / 5,120 BTU stated. Treat it as supplemental heat for one room. Our supplemental heat planner turns your square footage into a rough answer.
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 the COSTWAY 26" Insert, Remote stacks up against the closest alternative, the BOSSIN 50" Ultra-Thin Linear.
| Criterion | COSTWAY 26" Insert, Remote | BOSSIN 50" Ultra-Thin Linear |
|---|---|---|
| Our rating | 6.7/10 | 6.7/10 |
| Width | 26 in | 50 in |
| Heater | 1,500 W / 5,120 BTU | 1,500 W |
| Flame colors | 8 | Not stated |
Both score 6.7/10. The BOSSIN 50" Ultra-Thin Linear adds a wider unit (50 in), while the COSTWAY 26" Insert, Remote brings more flame colors (8).
We rate it 6.7/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
Its listing states a 26-inch width and a 1,500 W heater output. Those are the maker's figures, so tape the width on the floor and check it against your wall and your TV before you order. Our supplemental heat planner puts 1,500 W in context for your room.
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.
Its listing states a 26-inch width, a 1,500 W heater, 8 flame colors, a flame that runs without the heat 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.
