Our Experience With the Gazco Onyx Eclipse

The Eclipse is the smaller brother of the Gazco 75t, and both carry incredible technology and display. Wi-Fi controlled, with a flame effect where the fire envelops the logs and wraps around them naturally, rather than passing through them the way cheaper brands do.

Like the 75t, the Eclipse is a fire that once installed just works.

Fitting the 75t is a bigger undertaking simply because it’s a larger unit, but both usually need a chimney carve-out — Irish chimneys are generally smaller than these fires as standard. The extra effort is worth it. Gazco have maximised the viewing area and kept the surrounding frame as minimal as possible, so the fire itself takes the lead role rather than the frame.

For most Irish rooms the Eclipse is the sensible choice. It can save money on the installation, since in some cases it doesn’t demand a complete clear-out of the opening.

That said, if you feel like splashing out on the absolute cream of the crop, the 75t is a spectacular fire — and usually the one that brings most customers to our door after they’ve seen one fitted in someone else’s house.
