How to choose
Coverage and size
Coverage is the maker's figure for the room size a heater suits, while size decides where it fits. The duraflame is rated for up to 1,000 sq ft by the maker, the Kucreiheat for up to 600 sq ft, and the TURBRO and ROVSUN for up to 400 sq ft each. The TURBRO measures 8 by 14 inches, while the duraflame measures 13.07 by 24 inches. Compare the maker's coverage figure and the footprint against your room.
Flame, heat, and controls
Flame and heat controls work independently on the duraflame and the TURBRO, so the flame can run without heat. The Electactic uses knobs on a control panel, while the TURBRO uses a switch and a knob. Compare the control style against how you adjust heat and flame.
Timers, remotes, and placement
Only the duraflame and the ROVSUN have a remote and a timer in this group, so check controls before you buy. The duraflame pairs its timer with a remote, and the ROVSUN timer runs 0 to 6 hours with a remote. The Electactic and TURBRO use panel or knob controls. All five stand freestanding, so measure your floor space before you choose.
