We’ve tested Duraflame Infrared Electric Fireplace Stove at home, as well as in the lab along with other space heaters. It continues to be one of our favorite heaters because it is stylish and compact, has the look of a wood stove without the hassle of using firewood, and has effective heat settings. Like our best overall option, the Costway Freestanding Electric Fireplace Heater, this fireplace has viewing windows on three sides and can be used without heat, and we felt like the glow looked like a real firebox. Although you can’t change the color of the flames, there are five settings to change the brightness. Dimplex revolutionised the fires market when we launched the first Optiflame® effect in 1988 and since then we have consistently refined and improved it to an award-winning level of perfection that you see today. The fully three dimensional effect uses established ultrasonic technology to create an ultra-fine water mist. As the mist rises up through the logs or coals, the light reflects against the water creating a convincing illusion of flames and smoke. The result is an appearance so authentic that it is regularly mistaken for true flames and smoke. If you are curious about the impact your flame patio heater has on the environment, you are not alone. Most people are becoming more and more aware of their carbon footprint. Some reviewers point out the need to be careful during refuelling. As with any other bioethanol heater, it’s imperative to let the device cool off completely before adding any fuel. Pros:

It has an ignition button powered by AA batteries, so you don’t need to rely on matches or lighters to start the fire. Specifications: We were just as impressed with this fireplace in one of our homes for over six months as we were in the lab. We used it in a bedroom but eventually found the large size to work better in our dining room. Although it isn't exactly portable, we were able to move it in two parts so it wasn't too heavy. When used in our bedroom, we found the flames to be comforting and used them often, even when we didn't need the heat. We also found that it did heat our bedroom well (up to 4 feet at first, and the entire room after some time), even though we didn't note a lot of warmth in the lab. We wish there were more heat settings you could program, but other than that, we found it to be an effective heater. We also found it to be not too loud (we could talk over it) when using the heater, although we did note that it makes a beeping sound when you change settings. If you choose to just use it for ambiance (with the heat off), it's perfectly quiet.Using unique state-of-the-art, patented technology, we have created the world’s most realistic electric flame and smoke effect – an illusion so effective that we believe it is difficult to distinguish it from the real thing. While this fireplace stands out for its authentic look and flame display, when we initially tested it in our lab, we found it to not be the best option to heat your space (although during long-term testing at home, we found it to heat the space effectively). It can be used with or without heat, and although the heat can be felt up to 11 feet away, we didn’t feel it to be as powerful as we’d hoped. However, if you want to add a fireplace to your home without the hassle of installing a chimney and hearth, this is a beautiful option that looks custom-made.

In our opinion, the Callaway Grand Electric Fireplace is well worth the splurge if you are looking to add a classic fireplace and mantel to your living space without having to worry about a chimney. Our first impression when testing this unit was that it was a beautiful piece of furniture. It’s definitely more of an investment in money and space than a small electric stove, but your family could gather around the “fire” and decorate the mantel and space above it for years to come. We also like that it is available in white or chestnut oak to match your decor. The mantel doesn't support a TV, but it can support up to 30 pounds of decor.

Durable and weather resistant, thanks to aluminum, powder coated metal and stainless steel construction The traditional rustic style of the Honey Glow Brown Provence Stove complements any home setting whilst offering you a very economic heater. Ideal for conservatories, living rooms or kitchens. When the flame arrives at the top of the tube, it hits the metal grille, which gets hot and then radiates the heat. Since this is an infrared heater, it heats the people and objects in the room instead of the air. We confirmed this when testing this heater: We didn't record any change in the temperature of the room. However, we did note that the unit did a good job of heating on all settings. The heater also comes with a remote to change those settings, although at first, we found the instructions to be unclear.

We love the Real Flame Silverton Electric Fireplace because it looks like a custom-made fireplace, complete with trim molding, and creates a warm focal point in any room. The mantel can support up to 31 pounds, so although it can’t support a TV, it’s perfect for picture frames and other types of decor. This fireplace also stands out for its ability to adjust not only the brightness of the flames but also their color. The heater’s canopy, typically above the grille, directs the heat outward, to be felt metres away from the device. The BU KO Patio Heater is a popular choice with a heat output that’s comparable to other such patio heaters, at 13kW.

The Gasdepot Real Flame Heater is a powerful, 13kW pyramid patio heater. Thanks to its design, the device emits heat in a circular area and is perfect for both domestic and commercial use.Of all the flame patio heaters on the market, propane-fueled variants are the most common.
