How to choose

Read coverage as the maker's figure

Coverage is the maker's own rating for the room area a unit is meant to heat, not a measured result. The duraflame is rated for up to 1,000 sq ft by the maker, while the R.W.FLAME and the 4 EVER WINNER TV stand are each rated for up to 400 sq ft by the maker. Compare the rating against your room's floor area, and remember that a higher rating does not change the wattage a unit draws.

Thermostat versus heat settings

A thermostat lets a fireplace cycle to hold a set temperature, while plain heat settings only pick a power level. The duraflame, the Tehanld, the ZAFRO and the 4 EVER WINNER TV stand have adjustable thermostats, and the Tehanld sets from 60 to 99 degrees. The Tehanld has 3 power settings and the ZAFRO has two heat settings, so compare the control type, not just the wattage, when you choose.

Placement, size and weight

Size and weight decide where a fireplace fits and whether you move it. The duraflame measures 24 inches wide and weighs 28.6 lb, while the R.W.FLAME measures 60 inches wide and weighs 47.7 lb, and the 4 EVER WINNER TV stand measures 70 inches wide and weighs 112.4 lb. Wall-mounted models need a wall space that fits their width, while freestanding stoves sit on the floor and can move between rooms if their weight allows.
