The app allows more precise control over the brightness/length of the flame, as well as other settings. While the app doesn’t offer the same level of detail as a dedicated desktop app, it does offer a logical, reliable and functional interface. One note, this fireplace remote and my JBL sound bar share some frequencies…
Color Customization and Creative Possibilities
One of the fun features of the Legend Flame Austin 72-in Electric Fireplace is the ability to experiment with different color combinations.
While some users may prefer a traditional, earthy look, fireplace customization colors offer endless possibilities for creativity.
Flame A and Flame B
The fireplace has two different flame options: Flame A, which provides a traditional, natural orange glow, and Flame B, which offers greater customization with options for eight colors or color combinations, including a rotating color mode.
Creating Unique Atmospheres
By combining Flame A and Flame B, users can create a variety of atmospheres, from earthy tones to otherworldly colors. For example, combining Flame A with Flame B set in turquoise can create a fun and unique display.

Testing External Flames
For those who want to go beyond the ordinary, fireplace color options can be used to mimic flames from other planets. For example, methane, a common gas on Neptune, burns with a blue hue. By playing with the fireplace’s color settings, you can create a unique and otherworldly flame effect that evokes the atmosphere of a distant giant sister.
Thermal Power
The Austin 72-in Electric Fireplace provides additional heating for your home. Features two heat settings (750W and 1500W) to meet different room sizes and heating needs. It’s just what we need in our Florida Condo, to help out on cold nights, so we don’t have to heat up the whole unit.
Application-Based Control and Restrictions
Although the app offers more detailed control over the brightness/length of the flame, and the fuel bed, than the remote control, why not let the user customize the colors, and save them. Why not have thousands or millions of colors to choose from instead of 8!
Desirable Features
In order to improve the user experience, as just mentioned, it would be beneficial for the application to allow better control in the ability to choose certain colors for Flame A, and to create more options for Flame B, and the floor bed. This will allow users to create very different and personalized atmospheres.
The option to turn off the beep would be a real improvement for late night use.
Additional Features
- Remote control: The included remote control provides easy access to key settings such as flame brightness, temperature, and volume.
- Tuya App: Provides more control than a remote
- Timer Function: Set a timer to automatically turn the fireplace on or off at your preferred time.

Personal information
My wife and I are very happy with the Legend Flame Austin 72-in Electric Fireplace. We enjoy the real fire effect, the ability to customize the colors, and the extra warmth it provides during the colder months, just in our living room.. I tend to change the color settings every few days, just for fun. Very entertaining.
Anyway I have to note, that the most used combination, Flame A set close to max or max (always orange-ish), and Flame B, set to Yellow, and one or two clicks less light than Flame A. Regarding the fuel bed, we tend to go with a very low white bed, or even a low turquoise bed (matching the color scheme of our rooms).
Sound considerations
Another possibility is to turn off the confirmation beep that sounds whenever you adjust settings using the remote control or the app. Although the beeping is not overly loud, it can be distracting, especially in shared areas such as bedrooms. Unfortunately, there is no option to disable the beep. The furnace, besides, is actually silent, except for the noise of the fans when you use the heater.
Or, if you prefer to use one of the two “crackle” settings. (One is noisier than the other. Since I mentioned that “gas burners” do not move, I have convinced my wife, not to use the noise – at least until winter, when she realizes that “winter noise” is the sound of the stove… Whatever works.
Customer Satisfaction is Off the Charts
The Legend Flame Austin 72-in Electric Fireplace has received ridiculously high ratings from customers. As of September 6th, the fireplace has an impressive 4.8 star rating on Amazon based on 223 reviews.
Just 6 out of 223 rated it less than 4 stars, and a full 89% gave it a 5 star rating. As an owner myself, I give it 5 stars, except for my preference for the lack of a few features that would make it better. You will want to own this one, if you have a 72″ fireplace. This level of customer satisfaction is a testament to the fire’s quality, performance, and overall value. 4.8 rating “best off the charts”!
Note that the flames – in real life, seem to be very long. But if I hadn’t darkened the exposure the bright colors would have been washed out.
The conclusion
The Legend Flame Austin 72-in Electric Fireplace is a classic dynamic and attractive more than any home, it sure looks amazing in my living room! With both realistic and customizable flame effects, a skillful ability to heat up, and simple operationprovides a high quality and exciting experience. Plus, it’s easy to install (my assistant was very impressed) and includes excellent documentation!
The $859 price tag for the Austin 72” makes it an excellent value. I should also note that Legend Flame recently added an additional 72 models. That’s $100 more, and it’s called the Smart 72, and it’s obviously a little smarter, although this 72 “Austin works with Alexa and Google Assistant. mid-range price again solid construction making it a great value for homeowners looking for a versatile and stylish items electric stove. Another good and fun thing.
Okay, that’s my review of the Legend Flame Group’s 72″ Austin Electric Fireplace. Thanks for taking the time. Time to get back to enjoying the flames.
Editor’s note: This review was completed with “a little” help from Gemini AI. Gemini is allowed to pull the specified information from the Legend website (confirmed), but all the main points, and the details in the review are given by me, I have used this electric culture for more than 6 months. I let Gemini write almost all the copy as a time saver, with the usual AI “blossomed”, but rewrote some very “noisy” / repetitive / AI sections.
Gemini tried to reach several conclusions that I found inaccurate, at least some of which rise to the level of “disrespect” or “fake news.” They have been deleted or rewritten. That said, the review still reads like an enthusiastic AI piece, since I left a good portion of Gemini’s writing intact, and since I decided to let it do most of the composing, formatting, and editing to begin with. I could not Gemini to draw conclusions.
