Heater output, per the listing

The heat the listing states, next to a 1,000 sq ft coverage claim. Plenty to take the chill off the room you sit in; how far it reaches depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling, and our supplemental heat planner turns your room into a rough answer.

What it has going for it

What changes in your evenings

5,200 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.

Thermostat. Set a temperature and the heater cycles on its own instead of running flat out until you remember to turn it down.

Living room or bedroom?

For the living room, a 1,000 sq ft coverage claim is pitched at a main room, not a box room.

For a bedroom or a study, the thermostat holds the temperature instead of baking the 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.

Great for you if…

  • You want the chill off one room on cold evenings
  • You want the glow all year, heat or no heat
  • You hate fiddling with the heat

Skip it if…

  • You want the width stated up front: the listing we read gives no width
  • You want it to replace your heating: it is supplemental heat for one room
  • You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

What Duraflame promises

Our take

The verdict

We like the Duraflame 3D Infrared Stove in Black for a 5,200 BTU heater and flames with the heat switched off. No buyer has reviewed it yet, so our 6.7/10 comes from the spec sheet alone. Our main reservation: no stated width in the listing, while most picks here give one. We'd pick it if you want the chill off one room on cold evenings; otherwise, put it next to the Electactic 1500W Infrared Stove first.

Living with it

Delivery day

A small box: unpack, place it, and read the manual's clearance page before you plug in.

The first evening

Try the flame at a few brightness settings; lower often looks more real at night. The 5,200 BTU heater takes the chill off the room you sit in.

Day to day

The thermostat set once, and a quick dust of the glass now and then. Our maintenance guide has the rest.

Summer

Heater off, flame on: the glow stays on the wall in July without warming the room.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you add the Duraflame 3D Infrared Stove in Black to your cart: check the room, because 5,200 BTU is supplemental heat, so it warms the room you sit in, not the house.

Before you buy

Where it stands

Leave the clearance the manual asks for around it, and keep curtains and throws out of the way of the heater outlet.

Heat for your room

5,200 BTU stated, 1,000 sq ft claimed. It is a supplemental heater for one room. Our 1,500 W guide explains what that output really covers.

The outlet

Pick the outlet before you pick the finish: a free one close by, nothing heavy on the same circuit, and no extension cord. Our power requirements guide lists the questions to ask.

Its listing states a 5,200 BTU heater, a flame that runs without the heat, a thermostat and an infrared quartz heater. Those are the seller's figures; for how real the flames look in a living room and how loud the fan runs at night, the buyer reviews are the better guide.
