Warming up to an ambient fireplace is a quintessential fall experience, but not everyone has the space (or budget) for a full-blown hearth. That’s where Duraflame’s clever Freestanding Electric Fireplace Stove Heater comes in: The compact unit mimics the cozy glow and toasty warmth of a traditional fireplace, without the hassle.

Featuring glowing logs, realistic flickering 3D flames, and up to 1,000 square feet of infrared heat, the corded electric heater packs all the conveniences of modern technology with a classic cabin-in-the-woods aesthetic. Unlike a typical space heater, the charming design boasts a rustic bronze finish, a beveled glass door, side viewing panels, and a brick-style back panel that turns any corner of your home into a relaxed retreat.

The freestanding unit plugs into any standard outlet for a breezy, mess-free setup. Forget venting, logs, or ash cleanup—simply unbox, attach the legs, and plug it in to enjoy impressively lifelike flames and glowing embers created by layered visuals. The stove produces up to a whopping 5,200 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of infrared quartz heat, making it a smart addition to any small-to-large room like a living room, drafty basement, or bedroom. The adjustable flame setting even works independently from the heater, so you can set the mood all year long.

It’s loaded with practical features, including a cool-to-the-touch exterior, offering extra peace of mind for parents and pet owners; adjustable digital thermostat; automatic shut-off; changeable brightness and speed settings; and a remote control, so you blissfully never have to leave the couch.

The faux fireplace is already BHG-tested and approved as the “Best Splurge” model for its attractive design, cozy visuals, and impressive heating, and it’s earned equally high praise from over 3,000 happy Amazon shoppers who call the heater “a true masterpiece,” “a cheerful presence,” and “very safe” around kids. One reviewer, who calls the Duraflame their “emotional support space heater,” said the stove warms up their home office “visually and literally,” while another reported that the efficient unit cut their heating bill by nearly half.

Whether your style leans vintage, rustic farmhouse, cottage, or classic, this compact fireplace fits right in. Right now, you can score the model at up to 13% off in bronze, black, Cinnamon (red), cream, French Gray, or navy to fit your decor.
