What it's made for: a cabin feel in the corner of the room.
The two electric fireplace stoves closest to it on our rating, with a dated price.
What it has going for it
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.
Infrared quartz heater. Infrared quartz warms the people and furniture in front of it more than the air around them.
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.
The seller states, word for word, in the Duraflame 3D Flame Stove, Bronze listing:

Our take
We like the Duraflame 3D Flame Stove, Bronze for flames with the heat switched off and a thermostat. No buyer reviews yet, so the Duraflame 3D Flame Stove, Bronze has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Duraflame 3D Flame Stove, Bronze: no stated width in the listing, while most picks here give one. We'd pick the Duraflame 3D Flame Stove, Bronze if you want the glow all year, heat or no heat; otherwise, put it next to the Duraflame 3D Flame Stove in Black first.
A small box: unpack, place it, and read the manual's clearance page before you plug in.
Try the flame at a few brightness settings; lower often looks more real at night.
The thermostat set once, and a quick dust of the glass now and then. Our maintenance guide has the rest.
Heater off, flame on: the glow stays on the wall in July without warming the room.
One thing to settle before the Duraflame 3D Flame Stove, Bronze ships: check the room, because it is a supplemental heater, so it warms the room you sit in, not the house.
Leave the clearance the manual asks for around it, and keep curtains and throws out of the way of the heater outlet.
It is a supplemental heater for one room. Our 1,500 W guide explains what that output really covers.
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.
How the Duraflame 3D Flame Stove, Bronze stacks up against the closest alternative, the Duraflame 3D Flame Stove in Black.

Both score 6.2/10. Compare the listings side by side to choose.
We rate it 6.2/10 (fair). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
Its listing states freestanding installation. Those are the maker's figures, so tape the width on the floor and check it against your wall and your TV before you order. The listing we read gives no heater figure, so ask the seller before you count on it for warmth.
The listing we read does not state its supply voltage or heater wattage. Read the supply, plug and circuit conditions on the exact listing and in the manual before you order, and never run a heater on an extension cord or a shared power strip. Anything beyond an existing standard outlet, hardwiring or 240 V included, is a job for a licensed electrician.
Its listing states 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.
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: 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.
