What it's made for: warming one room on cold evenings.
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.
Infrared quartz heater. Infrared quartz warms the people and furniture in front of it more than the air around them.
CSA listed, per the listing, overheat shut-off. It switches itself off if it overheats, per the listing. Worth having on anything that runs for hours in a living room, and the CSA mark is what to look for on the label.
The seller states, word for word, in the TURBRO Suburbs TS17Q Infrared Stove listing:
The TS17Q is slimmer, lighter, and still has 4 support legs for stability and more portability so you can move and place it anywhere in your home.
The LED flame effect can be turned on separately from the heat to help you set the mood when the heater is not needed.
Simply flip the switch to turn on the heating element, turn the knob to your desired temperature, and your room will start heating up in seconds.
The heating element is located on the bottom so the body of the stove is always cool to the touch, no matter how long it has been running.
Automatically shuts the heater off when it gets too hot.
Hold these against the manual of the exact model before you order.

Our take
The TURBRO Suburbs TS17Q Infrared Stove earns its place with flames with the heat switched off and an infrared quartz heater. No buyer reviews yet, so this TURBRO electric fireplace stove has to win you over on paper. The catch with the TURBRO: no stated width in the listing, while most picks here give one. We'd pick the TURBRO Suburbs TS17Q Infrared Stove 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.
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.
One thing to settle before the TURBRO Suburbs TS17Q Infrared Stove 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 TURBRO Suburbs TS17Q Infrared Stove stacks up against the closest alternative, the Duraflame 3D Flame Stove in Black.
| Criterion | TURBRO Suburbs TS17Q Infrared Stove | Duraflame 3D Flame Stove, Black |
|---|---|---|
| Our rating | 6.2/10 | 6.2/10 |
| Coverage claim | Not stated | 1,000 sq ft |
| Thermostat | Not stated | Stated |
Both score 6.2/10. The Duraflame 3D Flame Stove in Black adds a bigger coverage claim (1,000 sq ft) and a thermostat.
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 recessed (in-wall) installation. Those are the maker's figures, so check in the installation drawing whether the width means the frame, the firebox or the opening. 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 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.
