How to choose
Read coverage as the maker's figure
The R.W.FLAME and the RNLRNL are each rated for up to 400 sq ft by the maker. Compare those maker ratings against your room's floor area, since coverage is the maker's own rating, not a promise about how warm a room feels. Measure the room first, then pick the unit whose maker rating covers it.
Flame colors, timers and controls
Flame colors set the look: the R.W.FLAME has 12 flame colors with 5 flame speed modes and 5 flame brightness levels, while the RNLRNL has 7 flame colors. Timers set how long the heat runs: the RNLRNL timer runs 1-8 hours and the J-yaamiZz timer runs 1-6 hours, and the R.W.FLAME timer is controlled by remote or touch screen. The R.W.FLAME and the J-yaamiZz have a remote control, so compare flame options and timer length across the three.
Placement, size and assembly
A wall-mounted unit needs a wall that fits its width: the R.W.FLAME is 68 inches wide and 3.86 inches deep, and it fits a 2 x 6 stud bay. A TV stand needs floor space and a TV within its limit: the J-yaamiZz is 72 inches wide and supports TVs up to 80 inches, while the RNLRNL supports TVs up to 80 inches and up to 350 lb. The RNLRNL arrives in 2 packages, so plan for two deliveries, and both stands include assembly instructions.
