What it has going for it
What changes in your evenings
74 in wide, per the listing. A long, linear fire that can carry a whole feature wall. Check in the installation drawing whether the figure is the frame or the viewing area, then hold it against your wall cavity.
1,500 W / 5,118 BTU, up to 1,000 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 1,000 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.
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, 74 inches of fire are wide enough to anchor a big wall. A 1,000 sq ft coverage claim is pitched at a main room, not a box room.
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.
