What it has going for it
What changes in your evenings
5,000 BTU, up to 500 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 500 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.
App or WiFi control. Start the flames from the sofa or set a schedule from your phone, so the room is already glowing when you get home (as long as the house WiFi plays along).
Flame without heat. The heater and the flame run separately, so you can have the glow in July without warming the room. The fireplace earns its place all year, not only in January.
Living room or bedroom?
For the living room, a 500 sq ft coverage claim is pitched at a main room, not a box room. The app or Alexa can start the fire before you are even home.
For a bedroom or a study, the flame runs without heat, so it can glow on a warm night too.
On balance it is a living-room centrepiece that can also do a smaller room, not the other way round.
