How to choose
Coverage by the maker
Coverage figures come from each maker, so compare them on the same terms. The Riseon is rated for up to 1,000 sq ft by the maker, the BREEZEHEAT for up to 600 sq ft, the duraflame for up to 400 sq ft and the Burutpike for up to 300 sq ft. Match the rating to the room you heat, and check the wattage beside it: 1500 watts for the Riseon, duraflame, BREEZEHEAT and Burutpike at full heat.
Flame with or without heat
A flame that runs without heat stretches the fireplace past winter. The Riseon, duraflame, BREEZEHEAT and Burutpike all run their flame effects apart from heat, so the look works in warm months too. The Riseon adds four flame and heat modes, the BREEZEHEAT adds a 180-degree view with adjustable brightness, and the Burutpike adds brightness at 0%, 60% or 100%. Pick the flame control that fits how you use the look.
Controls, timers and remotes
Controls differ across the picks. The Riseon, ZJFLNZYC and BREEZEHEAT use thermostats to hold a set temperature, while the duraflame uses two heat settings. The Burutpike has a timer running 1 to 12 hours and a remote control. The Riseon moves on a belt carry handle, the ZJFLNZYC on a removable carry handle, and the Burutpike on a discreet handle.
