The Most Realistic Electric Fireplace With Crackling Sounds

Every fireplace in this collection (except the Dimplex Revillusion) makes awesome crackling sounds.

The crackling sounds are quite authentic and these models allow you to control the volume as well. It's difficult to tell the difference between the crackle sounds that come from these fireplaces and those of a real wood fire.

Crackling sounds engage your senses and allow you to experience a much more realistic fireside experience.
