I think the Duraflames are so cute and offer a very nice ambience. I do not think they give off much heat at all though. Plus, my electric bill went up exorbitantly, and I wasn't using it many hours a day.

I want one of these Duraflames (or 2, up & down stairs). Watched the presentation w/Albany earlier this morning then I googled just about every store in my town to find this one or similar of 1500watts, price, no s/h because I would drive to the store and bring it home myself.

I checked home depot, menard's, lowe's, target, big lots, Anderson's and found THIS one on the Q to be the absolute best buy right now. No one has the same wattage, no one has a remote control, NO ONE has these colors, no one has this great price with these bells & whistles and of course NO ONE has easy pay. So I must admit, this one truly appears to be the BEST BUY in town. Oh wait, I did not check Best Buy - LOL!

I have a much larger one I bought 3 years ago from Fireplaces.com. It's cinnamon with remote and free S&H, but the heater quit working last spring so I ordered a new one in turquoise. I think they'd be fantastic for people in warm climates as they can enjoy the ambiance of a fire without the heat.

Those heaters sold out of most colors, so I assume a lot of us like these little imitation wood stoves. I like mine. I loved the new colors but can't justify buying another.

Actually I think the electrics are a fine substitute for a real flame. I have a gas log fireplace with real flames but haven't used it for 4-5 years, preferring the electric stove which is warmer and has a flame that is just as mesmerizing.
