(More customer reviews)I generally only leave reviews for the best and the worst products that I buy here on Amazon. Thankfully, this product falls into the former.
I am pretty hard to please in general but this little stove won me over right from the start even while still removing it from it's box.
Growing up in wintry New England, we heated our modest little house in the sticks with wood stoves. This was not without it's unpleasantries. Lugging wood into the cellar and enduring bloody noses and dry skin from the moisture-sucking heated air was never my favorite but I must admit there is nothing like the sound and smell of a wood stove on a cold January night.
After living in Southern California for the last 13 years, I recently grew nostalgic for my childhood. I live in an apartment and a real stove is not possible so I looked for solutions that didn't require venting or actual wood and came across the Duraflame 4600 btu.
It's built solidly, with a nice patina that does resemble an old cast iron stove. It's also a very good size, not too big and not too small. Perfect for the corner of the living room in my 700 sq foot 1 bedroom apartment.
I was rather dubious as to the quality of the 'flames' so I wasn't expecting much when I flipped on the switch (nicely hidden by a solid glass door) to activate them. It turns out they look very realistic. The coals even look convincing. I sat with a glass of wine and watched them dance for at least 30 minutes, happily reminiscing.
After being completely spell-bound, I remembered to test out the heater part finally. It has a blower underneath that directs the heat out the front. I tested underneath, behind, on top, and found no heat except where it should be. That's reassuring to me, knowing that the heat will always be confined to a cone coming from underneath the front.
I even placed a candle on top and left it there for 10 mins. It did not melt at all. It does get hot around the circumference of the bottom surface but that's about it.
All in all, I am extremely satisfied with this product. It's going to be a big hit at my Christmas dinner party. Buy this thing immediately. you won't be disappointed.
I am already showing it off to my neighbors ...
