TURBRO Suburbs TS17 Compact Electric Fireplace Stove, Freestanding Stove Heater with Realistic Flame - CSA Certified - Overheating Safety Protection - for Small Spaces - 17" 1400W

4.5 stars This arrived today and I immediately had to set it up. It was packaged well. The legs have to be screwed on. It has a sturdy three prong plug. Likes: The door opens and has a cute handle. The finish is AMAAAAAZING! The top, sides and back stay cool. It puts out heat! Our furnace has been struggling with some cold temps but this little guy has our 12x16 ft living room super toasty. The flame looks pretty dang realistic from a few feet away. The color is spot on. Thermostat control allows you to “set a temperature” basically meaning it won’t just stay on forever. Dislikes: The heater doesn’t stay on continuously (both a pro and con really) — meaning if you’re sitting in front of it you’ll be toasty one second and cool the next. The fan for the heat only has one setting— meaning you’ll be hot as you know what and then cold when it turns off. Only if you sit right in front of it. Otherwise the fan output is great because it pushes the heat out. Doesn’t matter to me but the “fireplace” can be on without the heat but not the other way around. Also there was no remote control. Crackling sound is sort of goofy but if you close your eyes and imagine a cold breeze and the smell of fire it’s convincing enough ;) Overall I feel like this was a good purchase for us.

Size is small but fine for an apartment. If you want a larger size, you'll pay over $100. Easy to use. I like the fire colors, which you can adjust if you like. Only thing I do not like is that once it warms up, the thermostat does not turn itself off, so I manually have to turn down the temp. Thus I removed a star. I have a large bedroom and it heats the entire hedroom, and into the hallway - makes my 'central' heat not run much or at all when I use it. Solid build. Good quality materials. There is no remote for the item I chose. Some DO have remotes. You assemble the legs on the main body of the heater. Easy assembly, altho I still need to take a screwdriver to fully drive screws on. Thus heater is off the floor. My cats stay away from it, altho they like watching the fake flames. I have no concerns with safety with this particular device (altho I would not leave it on if I was gone for any length of time). Definitely would recommend this product, and the brand whuch has various options to choose from.

This was the only one available and was listed as a return with a small discount. It was in perfect condition but was missing some of the screws to mount the legs and the position for one of the legs was interfered with by the metal housing of the heater. No holes lined up and just barely fit into the corner of the chassis. I did find two holes I could use and I drilled my own for the third. Of course, this means I can't return. However, once put into operation, it heated our great room in 15 minutes. After 2 hours it Heated our whole house to 80 degrees and after adjusting the thermostat it turned on and off appropriately and accurately. It does look good, has a nice simulated fire and even has crackling noises, so all in all, it was worth it. 5 stars for functionality, 1 star for setup.

You have to be carful of the bottom heater, heats small spaces well but pulls quite a bit of power, very cute for what it is! color looks like it is and is sturdy some assembly but not a big deal.

I have a balcony where it is always cold and windy, but we’re not allowed to have a fire out there. I wanted to have the ambiance of a fire and I wanted adjustable heat. I bought this little heater based on reviews that it has great heat output for the size while being quiet and I totally agree. It’s nice and warm when I’m right in front of it, but there is also great heat spread indoors and it warms up a small room nicely. I did not notice an off-putting smell or sound. The thing is, I almost returned it as soon as I received it. The fake fire was a little cheesy. I am no stranger to fake fires and have owned other faux fireplaces and would say out of the box this one wasn’t that realistic. There were just too many big flashes of red in it. In my opinion real fireplaces usually put out orangish light with just a few licks of red in the flames with the red mostly confined to the embers at the base of the fire. Simple fix was I unscrewed the bottom panel (before screwing the legs on) and simply partially covered the 2 red bulbs with black electrical tape (high heat resistant, fire retardant) and left the 3 orange bulbs alone. I didn’t cover the entire red bulb, just the top in order to allow heat to dissipate and some red to show through. They are LED lights anyway they shouldn’t get very hot to begin with. This made the fire look SO much more realistic. Before screwing the bottom panel back on, I recommend turning only the light switch on just to check that you like the effect first bcs it’s a lot of screws to take in and out. If you are thinking of altering it this way then obviously you can’t change your mind later and return it. I’m very happy with this purchase and glad I didn’t send it back. It really packs a punch for its size, super easy to move anywhere the only downside is no remote, but for such a small heater I didn’t expect one anyway.

OMG do I love our little heater. This thing heats up the entire living room in the dead of winter. Unbelievable. I especially love how it blows the heat across the floor because everyone knows heat rises and cold is down low so it is perfect. And if you're going to have a space heater might as well have something to look at.

So I’ve always wanted a fireplace, i love the warm and coziness of the view of a fireplace in fall and winter. But I’ve never had the pleasure of having one. So i was excited to see this! It was the perfect size and color to fit right in front of my console. The first day it arrived it was absolutely beautiful. Though it was still quite warm even in Illinois at that time, when I came home from work I would turn on the flame and sound for the vibe and leave the heat off. I didn’t use it everyday, just a few days each week in the evening. But before long I started noticing it wasn’t as brightly lit as it was the first day i turned it on. Then before long the flame feature was completely gone. Hasn’t even taken a month off light to medium usage. So i contacted the seller (I believe in contacting the seller before leaving bad reviews), showed them these exact photos, and they offered a 30% refund. I refused it because without the flame feature. This is just a regular space heater. And a 30% refund isn’t even enough to buy regular space heater. I chucked the $180+ out because i specifically wanted the flame feature. I already have plenty of space heaters at home. So they offered to send me a new heater with the working flame. I accepted hoping that the initial one that i got was just a fluke. They delivered it, but i wasn’t able to really use it to test it out again because I traveled for 5 weeks. Came back in the middle of winter and turned it on. It’s been about 3 weeks again of light usage, and yet again. The flame feature is practically gone. A huge waste of money. It literally last like 2 weeks of light use. By week 3 you start seeing the dimming, and by week 4, there is no flame. Right when the return window closes. Save your money, or take your chances, up to you to decide. Now I’ve got to figure out where to dump this disappointment.

Arrived missing two screws but able to put the feet on. It works well and adds a nice ambiance. I like it a lot. One drawback is the constant clicking sound which I think simulates a wood stove that ticks as metal expands and contracts. But on this little heater it becomes monotonous and annoying. Otherwise it works great

Calienta bastante rápido una habitación de 9m2, el efecto de flama se ve bastante agradable y aunque es un poco más pequeña de lo que esperaba, funciona bastante bien. El recibo de la luz no se incremento demasiado en la temporada en que la utilicé, aunque se botó la pastilla al tenerla prendida junto con la lavadora, el microondas y otros electrodomésticos pequeños, dejando entrever qué si tiene un consumo bastante alto de energía. Muy buen producto, quedé satisfecha.

I can give this thing 10 stars I would. I bought the smaller one and immediately knew I needed the 20 inch instead so I returned the smaller one and got the 20 inch and it keeps my basement apartment living room and kitchen area very comfortable. The flames looks so real it’s insane! However, you touch the inside and there’s absolutely no heat because the heat comes from the bottom of the fireplace. The top sides back in front of it are cool to the touch not even hot! I love the fire crackling sounds and the house is quiet. It’s super soothing! I’m very happy with this product. I just wish that the cord was longer but other than that it’s a perfect 10!

This little furnace has been wonderful in our bedroom. Quiet, clean and effective. I would recommend it.

Es la segunda que compro. Buen calor, sin ser intenso. Esta se tardó un poco en llegar.

Esta padrisima como objeto de decoración de verdad parece fuego...pero no calienta para nada o al menos no lo suficiente para una casa promedio de México la devolví y compre un calentador eléctrico Lefko normal pero funcional!
