How to choose
Compare rated coverage first
Coverage is the maker's own figure, so compare it with your room's floor area. The Manastin is rated for up to 400 sq ft by the maker, and the TURBRO is rated for up to 1,000 sq ft by the maker. Wattage alone will not separate these picks, since the Manastin runs at 750W or 1500W and the other two run at 1500W. Start with coverage, then look at controls and flame options.
Match the install type to the wall
The Manastin mounts recessed or flat on a wall, and the Touchstone is built for in-wall recessed mounting. The TURBRO is a tabletop log insert that plugs in with no installation needed. Measure the opening before ordering, since the Touchstone is 72 inches wide and the Manastin is 50 inches wide. Pick the install type that fits the room, then check the media options.
Use the thermostat and timer together
A thermostat holds a set temperature, while heat settings only pick a power level. The Manastin thermostat runs from 60 to 99 degrees, and the Touchstone thermostat runs from 68 to 88 degrees. The Manastin has a 12-hour timer, and the TURBRO has a timer. Set the temperature first, then set the timer for the hours you want heat.
