does it have to be recess mounted

No, it can be surface mounted but you need an adapter kit sold by Robern. This is an extremely high quality unit - I couldn't recommend it more.

Ours is recess mounted. I believe that is ther way it is designed. The cabinet is very good, but the prodict desription on Amazon is useless - pure puffery.

Most of these mirrors are mounted within the wall studs. The mirror we bought did not have a kit for mounting on top of the wall. So yes, you need to have this installed recessed within the wall. It does look fantastic. We love it.

i recessed mine. whether or not it has to be is best asked of the manufacturer or vendor.

I would think not ... As you can see from the picture it is "rather large" ... If you can provide the measurements for the "recess" I will measure the device ...

It may be recessed or just mounted on the flat wall. There are side mirrors to make the unit look very finished. It is a very attractive unit....I really like mine.

No, it needs a flat surface to mount to. There are tons of corner tv mounts though, just refine your search youll find it

This product is not recessed into the wall. There are two notched out hangers at the top (in the back). This product comes with anchors and screws. The anchors are used if you are not drilling right into the studs.I have this in my main bathroom and I love it!

It can be surface mounted or recessed. We have a smaller version in one bathroom that is surface mounted; it came with decorative mirror panels to attach to the sides of the cabinet. We had the larger model recessed in the remodel of a different bathroom. Very pleased with both. There is a mirror on the inside of each door and a mirror panel along the back with glass shelves.

It is not meant to be recessed. The sides of the cabinet are mirrors. Not sure if you could install it as recessed.

It absolutely CANNOT be recess mounted. There has to be open space to allow heat to rise with having a fire hazard. I will tell you that my family LOVES this fireplace and it is very attractive when hung. No hardware visible. You need to be aware that there is a cord to account for but it can easily be disguised however you choose for aesthetic purposes.

You can mount the unit in the recess or on the door as long as the both parts can meet each other

The side mirrors are not attached when the unit is received. You are right, for a recess mount you would not use them. Mine is surface mounted so I did attach the mirrors to each side on the outside. I am very pleased with this unit.

No, only on a relative straight surface. the side is too much of a curve for mounting. It works pretty good.

It can be installed either way. If you surface mount it, it comes with mirrored side paenls. If you recessit, you do not have to use the panels. Good either way.

It is designed to be installed post construction. So you would not mount it to a stud. It gets mounted to dry wall. There is an anchor in each corner that holds it in place to the drywall. There is actually no holes on the recess box to mount it to a stud.

Yes, it is flush mounted after installation , all you need to make sure is to cut the wood to the right diameter..

This product is for outside wall mounting only and not meant for recessed areas. You may however drill new holes provided the recessed area will accept the new fixture.

No, it can not be recessed into the wall because of the motion sensor located on the lower right side that turns it on and off. I would not personally want it recessed due to the area size of the mirror. Having it protrude allows a person to see better inside the lighted part of the mirror.

Either way. It comes with the mirrored sides if you want to surface mount, or don't use them if you want it recessed. I recessed mine and have the 2 side mirrors left over for another project or decorate with.
