The EUHOMY 60 inch electric fireplace is a 4.13 in deep unit that can be fully recessed or wall mounted. It comes with a carbon log, crystal stones, 750 W and 1,500 W heat settings and a 62 to 82 F thermostat.
It suits a room that wants a log look in a lighter unit.
This review covers the size, weight, heat, controls, power notes and trade-offs. We compared the maker's specs and claims, so it's research, not a lab test.
What the EUHOMY 60 inch electric fireplace is
It's a 60 in wide electric fireplace with a black tempered glass front panel. EUHOMY says the glass brightens the flame.
The unit is 17 in tall, 4.13 in deep and 30.8 lb. The box includes a carbon log, a pack of crystal stones, a remote, an installation manual and hardware.
EUHOMY says it suits living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, offices, home theaters and RVs. It sits in the budget tier.
Size, depth and weight for a 60 inch wall
At 4.13 in deep, the EUHOMY is a little thicker than the R.W.FLAME 60 at 3.86 in, but it's much lighter at 30.8 lb against 47.7 lb. That 17 lb gap matters if one person is doing most of the lifting.
It's also 17 in tall against the R.W.FLAME's 18.11 in, so it takes about 1 in less wall height.
The extra depth matters if your wall cavity is tight, so measure it before you order. Our what size electric fireplace do you need guide walks through width and depth.
How the EUHOMY 60 inch electric fireplace fits a wall
EUHOMY says the unit can be fully recessed or wall mounted, so it works for a framed opening or a flat wall. It doesn't name a stud size, so confirm the framing in the manual.
A 2 x 4 wall is about 3.5 in deep, less than the unit's 4.13 in, so check the manual before you plan a recess in one.
Recessed or wall mount: which install suits your wall
A recessed install sits inside the wall, so it needs framing and often a drywall cut. The cavity has to match the 4.13 in depth, and the wall has to be planned before the unit arrives.
A wall mount sits on the surface, so it needs less framing work. Follow the manual's hardware steps, since the unit has to hang on studs or framing that can carry 30.8 lb.
Read how to install a recessed electric fireplace before you choose. Never cut into a load-bearing wall or a wall with wires or pipes, and bring in a pro for the framing.
Heat settings and the room it warms
The unit has a 750 W setting and a 1,500 W setting, and EUHOMY says it heats a zone up to 400 sq ft. That's a claim about zone heat, not a promise for your room.
You can run the flame with or without heat, so the look works in warm months too. EUHOMY adds an automatic heat-off safety feature.
How much heat a 60 inch electric fireplace gives
1,500 W is about 5,100 BTU per hour. That's a real amount of heat for the zone around the unit, and it doesn't replace a main heat source.
At full heat it uses 1.5 kWh for each hour. Multiply that by your own electric rate to see what an hour costs where you live.
Thermostat and timer
The thermostat runs from 62 to 82 F, and the timer runs from 1 to 8 hours. Together they let you run the unit for part of the evening rather than all day.
Set the target temperature you want, then set the timer to shut the unit off. A zone heater warms the area near it, so judge the comfort where you sit.

Flame look and controls
The flame runs in 12 flame colors and 12 LED fuel bed colors, with 5 flame brightness levels you can set on their own. EUHOMY says the high-intensity LED lights on its large display create realistic flame visuals.
The unit has a touch screen and a remote. The box carries both a log and crystal stones, so the flame bed can take either look.
How loud is the EUHOMY 60?
EUHOMY says it runs at 45 dB, which it calls a low noise level. R.W.FLAME calls its 60 inch unit low noise too but gives no number, so EUHOMY is the one you can compare.
That's the maker's figure, so listen for it in your own room. It matters most in a bedroom or office.
Safety features, certification and support
EUHOMY says the unit is ETL approved and has an automatic heat-off safety feature. Those are the maker's claims, and the manual's safety rules still apply.
EUHOMY backs the 60 inch unit with a 1-year manufacturer warranty, and it says it adds 2 years of technical support.
Power and TV notes
EUHOMY doesn't say whether the unit plugs in or is hard-wired, so check the manual before you plan the wall. Use a licensed electrician for any hard-wired install, a new outlet or a new circuit.
EUHOMY says the unit suits home theaters, so a TV nearby is a likely use. Read EUHOMY's heat and clearance notes and your TV maker's notes before you hang a TV above or beside the unit, because nothing here means a TV is safe near a heater.
The NFPA home fire safety pages cover general home fire safety, including heating equipment.
Measure before you order
Write these numbers down first:
- The opening: 60 in wide, 17 in tall and at least 4.13 in deep.
- The stud size, which EUHOMY doesn't name.
- The outlet position, and how the unit connects to power.
- The TV's size, and both makers' heat and clearance notes.
- Who can help you lift 30.8 lb.
Who should buy the EUHOMY 60 inch electric fireplace, and who should skip it
Buy it for a wall that can take a 4.13 in unit and a log-and-crystal look. It's a match for a room where a lighter unit, a stated noise level and a set temperature matter.
Skip it if you need the thinnest unit or a real wood fire. The 3.86 in R.W.FLAME is the better fit for a tight cavity.
It also suits a bedroom or home office, since EUHOMY names both. If 60 in is too wide, the same maker's 50 in unit has the same controls.
At 30.8 lb it's the easier of the two 60 in units to handle, though you should still plan for a helper.
How the EUHOMY 60 compares with the R.W.FLAME 60
The EUHOMY adds a glass front, a log and crystal set and a stated 45 dB noise level, and it weighs 17 lb less. The R.W.FLAME is thinner, at 3.86 in deep against 4.13 in, and it names a 2 x 6 stud fit.
Both have a touch screen and a remote, 750 W and 1,500 W settings and a 400 sq ft zone claim. The choice comes down to depth, weight, the flame bed look and the stud fit.

How we scored the EUHOMY 60
It scores 8.2. Our score weighs specs, features and buyer feedback against what you're shopping for.
It earns that for the log and crystals, the 30.8 lb weight, the thermostat and the stated noise level. It loses a little for the extra depth and the unnamed stud size and power connection.

It has a 750 W lower mode and a 1,500 W heating mode, and you can switch between them. EUHOMY says the unit covers up to 400 square feet, which is a zone claim that warms the area near the unit rather than the whole room.

Is the EUHOMY 60 quiet?
