How to choose
Remote control on all three
Every pick here states a remote control, so the remote itself will not separate them. The Xbeauty pairs its remote with a touch screen and a 1 to 8 hour timer, the duraflame pairs its remote with batteries included, and the ROVSUN pairs its remote with a 0 to 12 hour timer. Compare the controls around each remote: flame color and speed on the Xbeauty, independent heat and flame on the duraflame, and temperature and off time on the ROVSUN.
Coverage and heat output
All three picks draw 1500 watts, so wattage alone will not separate them. The useful figure is the coverage each maker gives: up to 1,000 sq ft for the duraflame, and 400 sq ft for the Xbeauty and the ROVSUN. The Xbeauty lists 5100 BTU with 750 watt and 1500 watt modes, and the duraflame lists 5200 BTU. Match the maker coverage figure to the room size before ordering.
Placement and flame options
The Xbeauty mounts on a wall or recesses into a stud wall, so it stays in one place once installed, while the duraflame and the ROVSUN stand freestanding and move between rooms more easily. For flame looks, the Xbeauty offers 12 flame colors with 5 speeds and 5 brightness levels, and the ROVSUN offers 7 flame colors with 4 brightness levels. The duraflame flame effect can show without heat, which suits warm nights.
