What it has going for it
What changes in your evenings
50 in wide, per the listing. Wide enough to be the focal point of a living-room wall. Check in the installation drawing whether the figure is the frame or the viewing area, then hold it against your wall cavity.
1,800 W / 5,120 BTU, up to 430 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 430 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.
15 flame colors. Classic orange for winter evenings, something bolder when friends are over, or just the embers glowing behind a movie. How real each setting looks is for your eyes to judge in the photos and videos; the count is the seller's. Our flame effects guide sorts the settings you'll use from the ones you'll forget.
Living room or bedroom?
For the living room, 50 inches of fire are wide enough to anchor a big wall. A 430 sq ft coverage claim is pitched at a main room, not a box room. All those flame colors are made for showing off when friends come round. The app or Alexa can start the fire before you are even home.
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 a living-room centrepiece that can also do a smaller room, not the other way round.
