TURBRO Suburbs 20 in. Electric Fireplace Infrared Heater with Crackling Sound, Freestanding Fireplace Stove with Realistic Flame Effect, CSA Certified, Overheating Protection, Easy to Assemble, 1400W

Size is small but fine for an apartment. If you want a larger size, you'll pay over $100.Easy to use. I like the fire colors, which you can adjust if you like.Only thing I do not like is that once it warms up, the thermostat does not turn itself off, so I manually have to turn down the temp. Thus I removed a star.I have a large bedroom and it heats the entire hedroom, and into the hallway - makes my 'central' heat not run much or at all when I use it.Solid build. Good quality materials. There is no remote for the item I chose. Some DO have remotes.You assemble the legs on the main body of the heater. Easy assembly, altho I still need to take a screwdriver to fully drive screws on.Thus heater is off the floor. My cats stay away from it, altho they like watching the fake flames. I have no concerns with safety with this particular device (altho I would not leave it on if I was gone for any length of time).Definitely would recommend this product, and the brand whuch has various options to choose from.

This was the only one available and was listed as a return with a small discount. It was in perfect condition but was missing some of the screws to mount the legs and the position for one of the legs was interfered with by the metal housing of the heater. No holes lined up and just barely fit into the corner of the chassis. I did find two holes I could use and I drilled my own for the third. Of course, this means I can't return. However, once put into operation, it heated our great room in 15 minutes. After 2 hours it Heated our whole house to 80 degrees and after adjusting the thermostat it turned on and off appropriately and accurately. It does look good, has a nice simulated fire and even has crackling noises, so all in all, it was worth it. 5 stars for functionality, 1 star for setup.

Cute little heater. Kicks out a good amount of heat. The crackling noise is terribly cheesy, but we just leave it off. The outside of the unit stays cold so it's pretty safe around kids and pets.

Looks great and very sturdy, was worried it would look or feel cheap and certainly doesnt at all. Love having it running with just the fire place visuals when we are relaxing its very cozy. The audio sound option is nice but very gimmicky as it doesnt sound great.Heat output is really good, warms things nicely and im not worried about any hazards from it. Only real complaint is the dial for setting temperature has a very wide range of temp. I only use the first like 1/6 of it as I never see a need to have it go over 75 degrees really, so trying to dial in the right temp is annoying. As well since the dial is hard to read you basically have to get down on your knees to adjust it.

The media could not be loaded. 4.5 starsThis arrived today and I immediately had to set it up. It was packaged well. The legs have to be screwed on. It has a sturdy three prong plug.Likes:The door opens and has a cute handle.The finish is AMAAAAAZING!The top, sides and back stay cool.It puts out heat! Our furnace has been struggling with some cold temps but this little guy has our 12x16 ft living room super toasty.The flame looks pretty dang realistic from a few feet away. The color is spot on.Thermostat control allows you to “set a temperature” basically meaning it won’t just stay on forever.Dislikes:The heater doesn’t stay on continuously (both a pro and con really) — meaning if you’re sitting in front of it you’ll be toasty one second and cool the next.The fan for the heat only has one setting— meaning you’ll be hot as you know what and then cold when it turns off. Only if you sit right in front of it. Otherwise the fan output is great because it pushes the heat out.Doesn’t matter to me but the “fireplace” can be on without the heat but not the other way around. Also there was no remote control.Crackling sound is sort of goofy but if you close your eyes and imagine a cold breeze and the smell of fire it’s convincing enough ;)Overall I feel like this was a good purchase for us.

I purchased this product a few months ago, and have been using it to keep my chilly living room warmer. I would use this product for about two hours each day to heat the room before bed and then turn off and unplug. Until today I had been satisfied with the product. I loved the light weight, and not only was it a heater, but a nice little ambiance light too, since I can't get a real fireplace.Tonight after plugging it in for a few minutes on the literal lowest dial setting for heat (this was enough for me), I smelled burning plastic and immediately checked my wall where this heater has been plugged in. There was a trail of dark smoke coming from my outlet and the plug had successfully melted the cover. The outlet and area above are damaged. I have lived in my home for years and have NEVER had an issue with the outlets, even during poor weather. The outlet was not the problem here. My phone was charging in the same area at the same time, no extension cord, just the two outlets, with zero issues.I've written the manufacturer and if they're helpful then I will update this review but currently, buyer beware, the supposed "overheating protection" is not true. I don't normally write reviews but I believe this is serious to consider as an huge safety concern and don't want anyone else to be at risk. I guess plastic and heat just really shouldn't mix after all.
