How to choose
Match coverage to the room
Start from the coverage figures the makers give, since four of these five picks draw 1,500 watts: 1,000 sq ft for the duraflame, 510 sq ft for the DUMOS, 400 sq ft for the PRAISUN and 300 sq ft for the R.W.FLAME. Compare that figure with the floor area of the room where the fireplace will stand, and remember these are the makers' own ratings.
Thermostats, timers and flame controls
A thermostat holds a set temperature, while plain heat settings only pick a power level. The duraflame, the DUMOS and the Touchstone have adjustable thermostats, and the DUMOS sets from 50°F to 95°F while the PRAISUN sets heat from 64°F to 82°F. Timers run 1 to 12 hours on the DUMOS and 1 to 8 hours on the PRAISUN, and flame-only glow is available on the duraflame.
Mounting and placement checks
The DUMOS mounts recessed, wall-mounted or freestanding, the Touchstone recesses into a wall and the duraflame and R.W.FLAME stand freestanding, while the PRAISUN is a TV stand. Check the width and depth against the wall or opening before ordering, since widths run from 23.46 inches to 70.1 inches here. Keep the cord clear of walkways and plug the unit straight into a wall outlet.
