Amazon Electric Fireplaces

If you’ve read our Fireplace Insert Buying Guide, you know that we generally recommend buying from a seller that has great customer service and a good reputation. While Amazon’s sellers don’t always have the best customer service, the ratings are generally accurate. These ratings don’t always exist on other sites, making Amazon a great place to see what other customers like you are thinking.

Electric fireplace inserts require little to no maintenance. They are ventless so installation is very simple. Because of these things, buying from a seller on Amazon is a great option. You don’t need a manufacturer who will hold your hand every step of the way. When buying electric fireplaces, reviews are the most important consideration since a photograph doesn’t always capture the reality of what the electric flames will look like.

These are some of our favorite electric fireplaces sold on Amazon:

This fireplace by Homedex is made specifically to go into a wall and includes instructions on how to do that yourself. It “burns” in multiple colors and you can switch between logs and glass in the ember bed. Switching between colors only requires pressing a button, but you have to remove the front of the fireplace to switch between logs and glass. While this could be frustrating, the fact that it opens also means you’ll be able to clean and dust it, which isn’t an option for all electric fireplaces. Additionally, over 20 reviewers say that its easy to install!

This Duraflame freestanding electric stove produces 5200 BTUs of infrared heat, which is a heat that doesn’t reduce the humidity in the air. (Check out this article for more information about infared heat.) The flames are 3D, which means they will dance on and in the logs in multiple places, not just in a straight, flat line. You can adjust the brightness, speed, and color of the flames; the temperature is thermostat controlled. You can also choose between five colors for the stove itself when you purchase. The stove has glass viewing panels on the sides, and the door can be left open. Customers’ biggest complaint is that the buttons to control the temperature can be hard to see.

This R.W.Flame fireplace insert is only four inches thin for easy installation. It has 12 ember bed and flame colors, operated by either remote control or touchscreen. The heating power is low, but the unit will always stay cool to the touch. This unit also comes with detailed instructions on how to install it yourself.

The Puraflame Alice includes multiple colors for the ember bed, which can be set to logs or glass. The fire has a couple different flame options with varying amounts of blue in the flames. Controlled by touchscreen or remote control, you can turn the heat setting high, low, or off. Plus, the Alice has 311 four- and five-star reviews!

The Sideline by Touchstone features either a logs or glass glowing ember bed and three colors of flames: blue, orange blue, and orange. The flames also have five brightness/intensity settings. The heating element can be set to high or low. With 515 four- and five-star reviews and 64 reviewers saying it’s easy to install, you can’t go wrong.

This freestanding wood stove by Turbro has only one, realistic flame setting, but it also comes with a thermostat to adjust the heat. It will automatically shut off if it gets too hot, so you don’t have to worry about it becoming a fire hazard if it gets knocked over. While it’s small in size, reviewers are excited by the heat it produces.

Northwest sells an electric insert that produces no heat; you won’t have to worry a bit about where you put it or turning it on in the warmer months. It has blue and orange flame settings as well as a blue-orange flame. The ember bed is glass, and it is operated by remote control. With only one bad review, this fireplace is certain to deliver.

This is an electric fireplace already inserted into a TV stand. The stand comes with a divided upper shelf and a cabinet with shelving to the left and right of the fireplace. The flames are one color, and the heating has one, moderate setting. Reviewers agree that it is simple enough to assemble, but that the process is a bit time consuming.

This space heater is pretty powerful for its size, producing almost 5000 BTUs. It is easily portable, weighing only 13 pounds and will shut off automatically if it overheats. It is also quiet so you can work, read, or sleep in peace. The space heater has 89% four- and five-star reviews.

This TV console by Ameriwood Home includes a thermostat controlled fireplace. The console is a rustic design in multiple colors. It comes with plenty of storage space, and customers say that its worth the somewhat complicated assembly process.
