TURBRO Suburbs TS17 Compact Electric Fireplace Stove, 18” Freestanding Stove Heater with Realistic Flame - CSA Certified - Overheating Safety Protection - for Small Spaces - 1400W

I love it!!! Its cute!!! And heats up my entire room in a couple of minutes there is even a setting where you can turn off the heater and keep the flames, made of metal had been knock over quite a bit and the glass didn't break. The screws are hard to screw in and Ive already lost a couple, they keep falling because I don’t screw them in all the way.

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.

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.

Very small, but it was my fault that I didn’t pay attention to the dimensions. It looks nice and puts off good heat.

I have a balcony where it is always cold and windy, but we’re not allowed to have a fire out there. I wanted to have the ambiance of a fire and I wanted adjustable heat. I bought this little heater based on reviews that it has great heat output for the size while being quiet and I totally agree. It’s nice and warm when I’m right in front of it, but there is also great heat spread indoors and it warms up a small room nicely. I did not notice an off-putting smell or sound.The thing is, I almost returned it as soon as I received it. The fake fire was a little cheesy. I am no stranger to fake fires and have owned other faux fireplaces and would say out of the box this one wasn’t that realistic. There were just too many big flashes of red in it. In my opinion real fireplaces usually put out orangish light with just a few licks of red in the flames with the red mostly confined to the embers at the base of the fire.Simple fix was I unscrewed the bottom panel (before screwing the legs on) and simply partially covered the 2 red bulbs with black electrical tape (high heat resistant, fire retardant) and left the 3 orange bulbs alone. I didn’t cover the entire red bulb, just the top in order to allow heat to dissipate and some red to show through. They are LED lights anyway they shouldn’t get very hot to begin with. This made the fire look SO much more realistic. Before screwing the bottom panel back on, I recommend turning only the light switch on just to check that you like the effect first bcs it’s a lot of screws to take in and out. If you are thinking of altering it this way then obviously you can’t change your mind later and return it.I’m very happy with this purchase and glad I didn’t send it back. It really packs a punch for its size, super easy to move anywhere the only downside is no remote, but for such a small heater I didn’t expect one anyway.

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.
