Why We Love This Deal
We’re in the deepest parts of winter, and more winter storms are coming. It’s a fantastic time to make sure your windows are winterized, but also to make sure that you have a good source of heat inside. Right now, Amazon is selling just the thing, an electric fireplace that looks just as hot as it feels at its lowest price in nearly six months.
The Duraflame Freestanding Electric Fireplace Stove Heater is on sale for $230, which is the lowest price we’ve seen since August. Duraflame is a longstanding American home heating company that has produced electric fireplaces since 2008, with the single recall in its entire history happening in 2014. $230 is slightly on the higher end for an electric fireplace, but it’s harder to find a more consistently reliable build, which is why it has earned its spot as Amazon’s No. 1 bestseller.

Duraflame’s stove heater is a simple plug-and-play model with years of design tweaks that result in making your home look and feel toasty. From the top vent, a strong blast of heat will circulate your area, and the fan should be powerful enough to heat an area up to 1,000 square feet. You can control the heat, as well as the fireplace light show, via a remote. The stove’s boxy construction and metal frame make it difficult to tip over and hard to accidentally damage.
Now, whether you think of this as a 5,200 BTU unit or a 1500W electric heater is up to you; the result is the same. For electric heaters, any two 1500W units will produce the same amount of heat. The big differences mainly come from heat distribution (via fans, for example), safety considerations, and stylish looks.
As a result, getting the Amazon Basics 1500W Heater is no problem, but the overall experience is going to be much better here, especially if you have family that can just “feel” the warmth of the fireplace aesthetic. It simply looks rustic and warm, like a fireplace should.
