Heater output, per the listing

The heat the listing states, next to 5,118 BTU. 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

1,500 W / 5,118 BTU. Supplemental heat for the room you sit in: it takes the edge off a cold evening while the furnace stays turned down. Real coverage depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling height. Our supplemental heat planner puts it in numbers for your room.

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.

Living room or bedroom?

For a bedroom or a study, at 22 in wide it fits a bedroom wall or a study. The timer switches it off after you fall asleep. The thermostat holds the temperature instead of baking the room.

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 hate fiddling with the heat

Skip it if…

  • 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
  • You want the flame alone in summer: the listing doesn't say it runs without heat

Our take

The verdict

Our favourite thing about the RealSmart 22" Infrared Stove in Red is 1,500 watts of supplemental heat, closely followed by a thermostat. No buyer reviews yet, so the RealSmart 22" Infrared Stove in Red has to win you over on paper. Our main reservation: the heat figure is the seller's, and your room, windows and insulation decide what you really feel. We'd pick it if you want the chill off one room on cold evenings; otherwise, put it next to the Innoflame 18" Electric 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 1,500 W / 5,118 BTU heater takes the chill off the room you sit in.

Day to day

The remote on the sofa arm, the thermostat set once, the timer for bedtime, and a quick dust of the glass now and then. Our maintenance guide has the rest.

Summer

Check whether the flame can run without the heater; the listing we read doesn't say so.

The one thing we'd check first

One thing to settle before the RealSmart 22" Infrared Stove in Red ships: check the room, because 1,500 W / 5,118 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

1,500 W / 5,118 BTU stated. It is a supplemental heater for one room. Our 1,500 W guide explains what that output really covers.

The outlet

120 V, per the listing. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the RealSmart 22" Infrared Stove in Red any good?

We rate it 7.5/10 (very good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

What size and heater output does the RealSmart 22" Infrared Stove, Red state?

Its listing states a 22-inch width, a 1,500 W heater output, a 120 V supply and 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. Our supplemental heat planner puts 1,500 W in context for your room.

What power supply does the RealSmart 22" Infrared Stove, Red need?

The listing states 120 V and a 1,500 W heater. 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.

What do you get with the RealSmart 22" Infrared Stove in Red?

Its listing states a 1,500 W heater, a thermostat, an infrared quartz heater, a timer and a compact 22-inch body. 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.
