Freestanding
Like the name suggests Freestanding electric fireplaces are able to be set up in any room. Some electric fireplaces have a base to enhance their appearance, while others rest on a flat surface.

It’s also ready for use right from the package, without any installation required. It has low and high heat settings and the ability to set a timer using the hidden control panel.
During testing, we found the flames to be particularly realistic and the logs sparkled with a realistic-looking look. This model also stands out for its ease of use and simple controls: a power button, the heater control, and a temperature dial. This dial is beneficial since it lets you select the settings you prefer without having to fiddle with the controls.

However, we did notice that this particular model doesn’t deliver the same level of warmth as some of our other choices. This is because the heating method is convection, not radiant. We were able to feel warmth up to 4.5ft away despite this. The unit comes with four different flame effects, and can be controlled with a remote control. This unit is safe because it has an overheat protection system, and its top is cool. It can be used to display decor objects. It is also CSA Group-certified, and has a solid construction that held up against the knocks from our test subjects. This makes it an affordable and safe option for those looking to build an outdoor fireplace to their home.
