How to choose

Match coverage to your room

The oneinmil and the ORALNER are each rated for up to 400 sq ft by their makers, and the LifePlus is rated for up to 250 sq ft. Compare that figure with your room's floor area before choosing, since wattage alone does not tell you how large a space a unit is rated for.

Flame colors are not heat settings

Flame colors change the look of the fire, while heat settings change power output. The ORALNER has 12 flame colors and a heater that runs at 750W or 1500W, and the dainiqukanhai logs have three flame colors with three intensity settings and no heat. The EXNOS has 2 heat settings and a 3D flame effect, and the LifePlus has 4-level brightness. Read the two numbers separately when you compare.

Controls, timers and placement

A remote and an app change how you adjust a unit from across the room, while a touch panel sits on the unit itself. The ORALNER works with a free mobile app, a remote and a touch panel, and its remote works from up to 20 feet away. The oneinmil, ORALNER and LifePlus each have a timer, with the ORALNER and LifePlus timers at 8 hours. The ORALNER needs 12 inches of clearance above the unit when mounted below a TV.
