Heater output, per the listing

The heat the listing states. 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.

Why it made our list

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. Supplemental heat for the room you sit in: it takes the edge off a cold evening while the furnace stays turned down. Real coverage depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling height. Our supplemental heat planner puts it in numbers for your room.

144 color combinations. 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. All those flame colors are made for showing off when friends come round. The app or Alexa can start the fire before you are even home.

For a bedroom or a study, the timer (up to 24 hours) 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
  • You trust a long track record: 358 buyer reviews

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 simply want our top pick: that's the Xbeauty 60" Recessed and Wall Mounted (9.3/10)

What Westinghouse promises

The seller states, word for word, in the Westinghouse 60" Wall/Recessed listing:

  • Up to 144 total color combinations for flames and embers, 5 independent brightness levels, and 5 flame burning speeds.
  • Fits 59.06" x 15" x 6" openings.
  • Designed with adjustable heater output settings and a built-in thermostat that can be set between 62F to 82F to help maintain your desired temperature.
  • The electric fireplace can also be controlled using the Westinghouse app and the included remote.
  • Allow up to at least 11.8" of clearance from the ceiling, mantel, and anything mounted above the fireplace.

Hold these against the manual of the exact model before you order.

Price and cost per inch of width

$799 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated inch of width costs about $13. That puts it around the middle 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.

The button opens the exact listing (ASIN B0F8HPD9NX), where today's price, stock and seller apply. Sizes and bundles of the same family often sit at different prices.

A better fit for your room?

Short on wall space? The Dimplex Prism 50" Wall-Mount (7.6/10) is 50 in wide, per its listing.

Our take

The verdict

The Westinghouse 60" Wall/Recessed earns its place with a 60-inch width and a 1,500 W heater. 358 buyers back that up with 4.6/5, about as reassuring as a review record gets. Where it falls short: the Xbeauty 60" Recessed and Wall Mounted sitting above it at 9.3/10. We'd pick it if you are building a feature wall around a big TV; otherwise, put it next to the LegendFlame 60" Smart Wall/Recessed 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.

What buyers say

Buyers give it 4.6/5, an excellent record, right on this ranking's 4.6 average. And with 358 reviews behind it, that number is hard to argue with.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you add the Westinghouse 60" Wall/Recessed to your cart: 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

120 V, per the listing. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Westinghouse 60" Wall/Recessed any good?

We rate it 8.6/10 (very good), #3 of 5 in our wall-mounted electric fireplace ranking. It is based on 358 buyer reviews averaging 4.6/5 and the specifications stated in the listing.

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

Its listing states a 60-inch width, a 1,500 W heater output, a 120 V supply 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 Westinghouse 60" Wall/Recessed need?

The listing states 120 V and a 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 Westinghouse 60" Wall/Recessed?

Its listing states a 60-inch width, a 1,500 W heater, 144 flame color combinations, Alexa and app control, a flame that runs without the heat and a thermostat. 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.

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: 120 V, per the listing. 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.
