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.
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
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.
Infrared quartz heater. Infrared quartz warms the people and furniture in front of it more than the air around them. The listing also says it doesn't dry the room out the way some heaters do.
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 flame runs without heat, so it can glow on a warm night too.
On balance it covers both, as long as your wall and your outlet match its numbers.
The seller states, word for word, in the Duraflame Infrared Quartz Stove in Cream listing:
5,200 BTU heater provides supplemental zone heating for up to 1,000 square feet to help you save money on heating bills.
Infrared quartz technology adds warmth instantly without making the room feel excessively dry.
Lifelike fireplace look includes dancing flames with glowing logs and ember bed.
The flame effect can be used with or without heat for a cozy, year-round atmosphere.
Hold these against the manual of the exact model before you order.

Our take
We like the Duraflame Infrared Quartz Stove in Cream for a 5,200 BTU heater and flames with the heat switched off. No buyer reviews yet, so the Duraflame Infrared Quartz Stove in Cream has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Duraflame Infrared Quartz Stove in Cream: 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 Duraflame Infrared Quartz Stove, Bronze 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 5,200 BTU heater takes the chill off the room you sit in.
A quick dust of the glass now and then, and a look at the manual's cleaning page once a season. Our maintenance guide has the rest.
Heater off, flame on: the glow stays on the wall in July without warming the room.
Before you order the Duraflame Infrared Quartz Stove in Cream: check the room, because 5,200 BTU is supplemental heat, 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.
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.
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.

Pick the Duraflame Infrared Quartz Stove, Bronze if you want our higher-rated option (6.6/10).
We rate it 6.5/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
Its listing states a 5,200 BTU/h heater output. 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. Our supplemental heat planner puts 5,200 BTU/h in context for your room.
The listing states 5,200 BTU/h. 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 5,200 BTU heater, a flame that runs without the heat 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: 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.
