How to choose
Read coverage as the maker's figure
The maker rates the duraflame for up to 1,000 sq ft, while each other pick is rated for up to 400 sq ft. Compare that figure with your room's floor area before choosing, since wattage alone will not separate most of these picks: the duraflame, PuraFlame, LegendFlame and BOSSIN each draw 1,500 watts, and the Naice draws 1,400 watts. Treat the coverage figure as a guide, not a promise about a particular room.
Thermostat versus heat settings
A thermostat lets a heater cycle to hold a set temperature, while plain heat settings only pick a power level. The duraflame and the PuraFlame have adjustable thermostats, and the PuraFlame sets from 60 to 82 degrees. The PuraFlame, LegendFlame and BOSSIN offer 750-watt and 1,500-watt modes, so compare the control style you want rather than wattage alone.
Measure the width before ordering
Freestanding widths run from 23 inches for the LegendFlame log set to 43.3 inches for the Naice mantel, with the duraflame at 24 inches, the PuraFlame at 27 inches and the BOSSIN mantel at 36.06 inches. Measure the opening or the wall space first, and check the depth of the mantel models too: the Naice is 13.6 inches deep and the BOSSIN is 11.5 inches deep. A log set suits an existing opening, while a mantel stands on its own.
