Heater output, per the listing

The heat the listing states, next to a 400 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

1,500 W, up to 400 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 400 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.

Crackling sound. A crackling-fire sound to go with the flame, for the evenings when you want the full effect.

Living room or bedroom?

For the living room, a 400 sq ft coverage claim is pitched at a main room, not a box room.

For a bedroom or a study, at 23 in wide it fits a bedroom wall or a study. The low heat setting is gentle enough for a smaller 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

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 to run it from your phone: the listing names no app or WiFi

What Legend Flame promises

The seller states, word for word, in the LegendFlame EF290 23" Log Set listing:

100% energy saving LED shorten your bill, while also enjoying the beautiful flame effect with or without the heater all year long.
Uses a standard 120V with a polarized plug, or a 15amb circuit.

Hold these against the manual of the exact model before you order.

Our take

The verdict

The LegendFlame EF290 23" Log Set earns its place with a 1,500 W heater and flames with the heat switched off. No buyer reviews yet, so this Legend Flame electric log set has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Legend Flame: watts and square-footage claims are the seller's, so 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 26" Electric Log Set 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 heater takes the chill off the room you sit in.

Day to day

The remote on the sofa arm, 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

One thing to settle before the LegendFlame EF290 23" Log Set ships: check your hearth, because 23 in of logs has to sit inside your opening, with an outlet within cord reach.

Before you buy

Your hearth

It is 23 in wide. Measure the width and depth of the opening, and check what the manual says about the hearth floor and the damper.

Heat for your room

1,500 W stated, 400 sq ft claimed. 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.

How it compares

Pick the Innoflame 26" Electric Log Set if you want our higher-rated option (7.5/10), with a wider unit (26 in) and a thermostat; stay with the LegendFlame EF290 23" Log Set for more stated heat (1,500 W) and a longer stated warranty (1 years).

Frequently asked questions

Is the LegendFlame EF290 23" Log Set any good?

We rate it 7.2/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

What size and heater output does the LegendFlame EF290 23" Log Set state?

Its listing states a 23-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 LegendFlame EF290 23" Log Set 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 LegendFlame EF290 23" Log Set?

Its listing states a 1,500 W heater, a flame that runs without the heat, a crackling-fire sound and a 23-inch log set. 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.

What should I check before ordering the LegendFlame EF290 23" Log Set?

Your hearth: it is 23 in wide. Measure the width and depth of the opening, and check what the manual says about the hearth floor and the damper. Heat for your room: 1,500 W stated, 400 sq ft claimed. 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.
