bioethanol fire. This model is also noted for its easy controls and simple operation, including a power switch, a thermostat control, and a heater dial. This dial is beneficial because it allows you to choose the setting you prefer, without having to fiddle with the controls.

However, we did find that this model does not deliver the same level of warmth as some of our other options. This is due to the fact that the heating technique is convection, not radiant. We could feel warmth up to 4.5ft away despite this. The unit comes with four different flame effects that can be controlled via remote control. In terms of safety, this model is protected against overheating and remains cool to the top of its surface which means you can put decorative items on it.
