How to choose
Choosing a large freestanding electric fireplace
Start with the coverage figure the maker gives, not wattage alone, since every pick here draws 1,500 watts. The Duraflame, R.W.FLAME, and Real Flame models are each rated for up to 1,000 sq ft by the maker, so compare that figure with your room's floor area. A mantel width also matters for placement: the Real Flame spans 63 inches, the OKD spans 52 inches, and the Electactic spans 36 inches.
Thermostat, heat modes, and flame control
An adjustable thermostat holds a set temperature, while heat modes pick a power level. The Duraflame, Electactic, and Real Flame models have adjustable thermostats, and the R.W.FLAME model has 500W and 1500W settings. Flame control differs too: the Electactic has 7 flame brightness levels, the Real Flame has six flame colors and five brightness levels, and the R.W.FLAME model has 12 flame and log colors with flame speed control. The OKD model sets 22 temperature levels from 62°F to 82°F.
Placement, cords, and upkeep
Measure the wall and the floor space before ordering, since these units range from 24 inches wide for the Duraflame stove to 63 inches wide for the Real Flame mantel. Plug the unit straight into a wall outlet and keep the cord out of walkways. For a mantel model, check the stated tabletop limit before placing items on it: the Real Flame mantel supports up to 30 lbs, and the OKD table top supports up to 120 pounds.
