What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives differing size details: 31.5D x 44W x 55H centimetres and H: 54.7 x D: 29.5 x W: 44 cm, with chamber measurements also listed as 440 Millimetres wide and 295 Millimetres deep. Confirm the dimensions relevant to your available space. The listing also gives 10 Watts as power consumption alongside a 2000 Watts heat output, without clarifying which operating mode the lower figure refers to. Its installation description says both built-in and freestanding, while feature copy describes a freestanding appliance. Confirm the selected listing details if these distinctions matter.

Customer feedback highlights the flame effect and perceived ability to warm rooms quickly, while comments on the remote control and noise are mixed. Some report quiet operation with flame only, whereas others describe noise. This matters if the stove will be used mainly for ambience or in a quiet room. The favourable overall rating distribution is not proof of a specific performance outcome, and the listing's 1kW and 2kW fan-heating claims remain product specifications rather than customer findings.

Positive themes

Customers describe the flame effect as realistic and say the heater warms rooms quickly.
Some customers appreciate the remote control and report that the stove creates a cosy atmosphere.

Mixed feedback

Noise feedback varies. Some customers describe flame-only operation as silent, while others find the stove noisy.
