How to choose
Read coverage as the maker's figure
Coverage is the maker's own figure for a room area. The Burutpike is rated for up to 300 sq ft by the maker, the HOMCOM for up to 216 sq ft by the maker and the Sweetcrispy for up to 107 sq ft by the maker. Compare that figure with your room's floor area, and remember that wattage alone does not separate these picks, since the RealSmart, ZAFRO, Burutpike and Sweetcrispy each draw 1500W and the HOMCOM draws 1450W.
Thermostat versus heat settings
A thermostat holds a set temperature by cycling heat, while heat settings pick a power level. The RealSmart has a thermostat regulator from 50°F to 90°F, and the ZAFRO has an energy-adjustable thermostat. The Burutpike customizes temperature within a range of 59℉ to 95℉, and the Sweetcrispy adjusts temperature across 59°F to 95°F. Heat settings still matter: the RealSmart and ZAFRO each have 2 heat settings, the Sweetcrispy has 750W low and 1500W high settings, and the HOMCOM has 725W and 1450W settings.
Placement and clearances
Place a freestanding stove on a stable, flat surface and plug it into a grounded outlet. Keep 3 ft from furniture and other combustibles and 4 in from the wall. Keep cords out of walkways and do not run a stove on an extension cord.
