duraflame Freestanding Electric Fireplace Stove Heater with 3D Flame Effect for 1,000 Sq. Ft. Room, Black

I bought this product in November of 2019. (Note: It is now February 2026 and I still stand by my review) I have enjoyed this product so much. It heats nicely, however, I didn't really buy it for heat, but have used it to supplement on some really cold days over the years. I would not recommend this product as a MAIN heat source as this or any other stove of this class, in my opinion, is not built in such a way to be anything other than a decorative and an occasional, supplemental, and attended heat source. I have had a real cast iron stove (vermont castings with the fire glass window) a wee bit bigger than this, and I missed just seeing the flame after I moved. The flame is nicely realistic. This runs LEDs for realistic flames display. I put it away in the summer in a closet and cover it to keep the dust off and remove the battery from the remote and place the remote inside on the logs when stored. I pull it out in October, put a battery into the remote and turn it on ( the LED fire lights) and it still is like new. I run lights mostly all fall and winter, until spring warmth during the waking hours. My dog actually likes to lay in front of it. All that is to say, I have never regretted this purchase. It warms the “feel and look” of any room it is placed in. It has been a great product these five years. I am of the opinion you get what you pay for with these stoves. (Also, an important feature I wanted was the vent to be on the TOP not the bottom, which five years ago when I bought my stove this was only one of maybe 2 or 3 models that offered the top vent in any brand). This product has the top vent, and it is vented on the ends as well. When the heat runs, the stove body does not get hot, but the air blowing from the vent is , so if you have toddlers, you would want to ensure the front vent heat blowing out doesn't blow into their eyes….I have used a screen when necessary with visitors with small children. Be sure to plug into the wall socket direct, not through a power/surge protector strip. The stove I have does not have a grounded plug so I do occasionally touch the cord at the back to check the cord heat if I run the heater portion for a while, which could be a little and barely warm, but not hot. BEFORE I bought this Duraflame stove product, I had purchased a much cheaper one. The vent was on the bottom of this cheaper stove, and when I did run the heat, which was not often, it delaminated a soft-lay laminate floor in front of the vent which was on the bottom front. When I noticed it, I didn't have my remote handy and just unplugged it, the cord and plug was very hot, so I cut the cord off even at the back of the stove and disposed of the unit. No more cheap stoves for me as this was an alarming experience, as well as a developing hazard and no matter the brand, I will always monitor the cord and the product for safety due to my own personal experience. All in all, This Duraflame stove, again has been a very, very nice product, and I have not had any problems with my unit and I am happy to give it a great review. Edit 2026: I came back to say 7 years and still going, and Im starting a new season. I run my lights most days all winter and after 7 years, my stove and its lights still run and looks great!

I have four of these now. I bought one in November 2019, one in December 2019, one in September 2021, and my fourth in January 2026. The first three I bought were black, and the new one I just got is cinnamon color. The one thing they all have in common? — They all still work, and heat very very well, as good as the day I bought them. The thermostat is very finicky with fluctuations. 74 may be way too hot, or leave the room cold. So I do have to adjust the thermostat frequently. The remote has a setting to switch the heating off (temp then reads 00), and then back on with another push. So you can run it a little high and just turn it to inactive if you get too hot. But I don’t even care. Because they heat exceedingly well even after over 6 years with the oldest. Other heaters we have owned from other brands in the past have all burned out and quit heating after a while, and they’ve had to be junked. Not these. I have slowly invested in the ones I have to heat the various areas of my house, and they are what I consider an investment. They are also very safe and operate well, so long as you plug them into their own dedicated outlet. Do not use an extension cord or plug them into any sort of splitter or otherwise unit that plugs into the outlet itself. Plug it directly into an outlet of its own and make sure nothing else shares the same breaker, to be safe. From what I read, they pull 1500W when heating. They’re costly at around $260 currently plus tax, but as I said, it’s an investment. They heat a fairly large area very comfortably and quickly. I kind of wish I’d invested in some colored options sooner, because the new cinnamon one I got is gorgeous! Love the richness of the color. Spend the money; you won’t regret it! It works well, the flame effect is very pretty, and they have no unpleasant smells or odors, unlike other heaters that can smell like plastic burning. BONUS: My cat loves sleeping on top of it. She has done so for years and has never been harmed by it. It’s warm on top but not unbearably so. So if your pets love it, do not be alarmed!

I'm really pleased with this little space heater. The flame looks pretty real considering it's price, so it's very nice looking, which is a nice bonus. But the heat on it works great! Our furnace is having major issues, so this is what has been maintaining the temps. I have 1k sq ft on my main level, it's -17° right now as I type this, and it's maintaining a 64° temperature in our house. Very pleased with the quality and how it looks, especially for this price point. Would definitely recommend.

The fireplace is attractive and sturdy. The flame effect is very realistic and it puts out a good amount of heat with very little blower noise. It provides great supplemental heat, even in an open layout for our 1000 square foot first floor. When set at 76 degrees F it kept the temperature of our open layout living room very cozy all day with 5 degree outdoor temperatures. I love the ambiance it adds to my boring, traditional living room. The remote is acceptable once you've settled on settings that you prefer and only want to use the on/off feature. However, when settings need to be adjusted on the fireplace itself, it's challenging. The controls are hidden behind the door and blacked out. This is aesthetically pleasing, but makes it difficult to adjust, particularly in low light situations. The most significant downside for me is the whirring, mechanical hum that comes from the fireplace when the flickering flames are on. It seems to be related to a device rotating within the unit. It's very noticeable in a quiet setting, such as sitting down to read a book near the fire. If there's music or television on, it's not a problem.

This is a pretty nice electric fireplace/stove. The heat output is more than what I expected & the flames look very realistic. It is well constructed & arrived at my doorstep undamaged, thanks to the excessive packaging. Remote works well at over a 10ft distance. Highly recommend this stove if you what to add a bit a heat to a colder location in your home with a nice ambiance.

El mueble es bonito y la luz de la "fogata" se vé muy natural y bonita. El calor que emite es agradable pero no demasiado cálido, por lo que no creo que funcione en lugares extremadamente fríos. El calor se emite por un ventilador en la parte frontal superior del calentador. Pero no se calienta mucho la parte superior al tacto. Los botones de encendido, temperatura y tipo de flama están detrás de la puerta y no están iluminados, por lo que se necesita luz ambiental o de una lámpara para poder verlos. El control remoto solo enciende y apaga o cambia la flama, pero no se puede ver a qué se está cambiando porque los signos están detrás de la puerta. No hace mucho ruido, únicamente el sonido del ventilador. Para un lugar cerrado de tamaño pequeño (unos 40-50 mts 2) funciona muy bien. Lo considero un producto excelente, mucho mejor que otros similares que he tenido. Edición en 2018: Un año después sigue funcionando muy bien. Lo que no puedo creer, ¡es el precio actual! ¿Cómo pudo haber aumentado 4 veces en un año?

Really impressed and happy with this small electric fireplace. Good quality and the flame is the best I have seen compared to other products. Heats well and quiet compared to others. I am happy I spent the extra dollars for this one as it doesn’t look cheap compared to others I have seen for less.

Por error hice el pedido pero la empresa siempre muy formal en todo. La información y apoyo brindado fueron muy buenos. En cuanto llegó el producto, el reembolso de vió reflejado en mi tarjeta. Si tuviera necesidad compraría con ellos

Realistic flame, even my dogs watch it. The stove is very sturdy, and has glass sides that are really a great viewing feature. The infrared heat warms the room up very nicely, so the room stays warm longer, once the heating is turned off, and you just want flame for viewing. I find this type of heat is better than the regular electric I use to own. Beautiful beveled glass front door. Remote control is handy and temp setting is on the stove, but all can be turned on and off with remote. The flame has several settings for amount of flame you want to view. Great reviews on this stove, excellent delivery. Was worth the money to get through the long winter darkness!!
