What it has going for it
What changes in your evenings
36 in wide, per the listing. A classic size that sits well on most living-room walls. Tape the outline on the wall before you order; a mantel always looks smaller in the photos.
1,500 W, up to 400 sq ft claimed. Supplemental heat for the room you sit in: it takes the edge off a cold evening while the furnace stays turned down. The 400 sq ft figure is the seller's; real coverage depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling. Our supplemental heat planner puts it in numbers for your room.
7 flame colors. Classic orange for winter evenings, something bolder when friends are over, or just the embers glowing behind a movie. How real each setting looks is for your eyes to judge in the photos and videos; the count is the seller's. Our flame effects guide sorts the settings you'll use from the ones you'll forget.
Living room or bedroom?
For the living room, a 400 sq ft coverage claim is pitched at a main room, not a box room. All those flame colors are made for showing off when friends come round. A mantel is a centrepiece, with a shelf for the photos and the stockings.
For a bedroom or a study, at 36 in wide it fits a bedroom wall or a study. The low heat setting is gentle enough for a smaller room. The flame runs without heat, so it can glow on a warm night too.
On balance it is happiest in a bedroom, a study or a cosy corner.
