The infrared heat doesn’t reduce the natural humidity within the air, for comfortable heat that won’t dry out the room or contribute to static electricity.

Review: Llegó rápido. Funciona bien. Review: We wanted an 'interim solution' and knew ultimately we'd need to make the decision of staying with our log burning fireplace or getting a gas insert.....we had prior experience with this product in our Dad's home for several years.......it was a 'flaming beauty' in an old brick firebox and gave off surprising warmth in the room or cozy flames whenever you didn't want the extra heat. This time, the firebox is wider but lower so we don't get as much of the flame action but it is still very cozy and nice to look at....our room is larger than Dad's and has a very high ceiling - the heat dissipates faster here but we still feel it, even when it's not on "HIGH". And the Die Hard Log Burning Fireplace lover in our family is becoming a big fan of the remote control and the 'coziness' the unit brings to an empty fire box (it's not even dark out right now and he has it going!). For us, our only complaint is that the electrical cord is about 10" too short and we needed an extension cord. Also we had to 'gerryrig' some 'foot extensions' to position it over an intact log lighter (make sure you get a gas fitter to certify that your gas is off to avoid any electric sparks meeting up with your gas line). And, also, the way to increase the heat is to turn up the dial on the unit itself (not on the remote)....but once set you don't need to play around with it much. Highly recommend. We trusted the Duraflame brand and the seller's rep. ## Features - 5,200 BTU heater provides supplemental zone heating for up to 1,000 square feet to help you save money - Infrared quartz heat helps keep more natural humidity in the air, for comfortable heat without drying out the room’s air - Realistic log set and ember bed projects rolling flames onto the back of an existing fireplace - Flame effect can be operated with or without heat, for the ambiance of a gentle rolling fire all year long - Adjustable thermostat allows you to decide the temperature of your room - Remote control with 2 AAA batteries included; heater comes fully assembled and ready to use - Adjustable flame brightness with 5 settings ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01L0GALJW | | Additional Features | Adjustable Thermostat | | Brand Name | duraflame | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (2,524) | | Finish Types | Black | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00611768090341 | | Heat Output | 5199.98 British Thermal Units | | Heating Coverage | 1000 sq ft | | Heating Element | Quartz | | Included Components | Remote Control | | Installation Type | Freestanding | | Item Weight | 6.19 kg | | Manufacturer | Twin-Star International | | Manufacturer Part Number | DFI030ARU | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | DFI030ARU | | Number of Batteries | 2 AAA batteries required.

Pros and cons of each please. I don't know what infered** A: From my understanding, infrared is 40% more efficient and heats faster (covering more sf as a result). However, the heat is direct and thus dissipates just as fast. Conventional heats the air unlike infrared and is supposed to last longer after the heater is off. Conventional also dehumidifies as a result. Not sure the extent to which all that is true with this specific product... I have the conventional one but not this one so can't compare. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***N on 11 February 2025* Llegó rápido.

I only do reviews of products that either exceed expectations or don't work at all. This electric log set exceeds all my expectations. We had a very mild winter here up until the last few weeks. Then it got very cold and we had accumulations of snow. Of course that's when our old electric log fireplace unit decided to quit working. It was a Dimplex unit. Comparing features Dimplex vs our new Duraflame, the Duraflame is a superior product. First - the heat. I bought this primarily for the heat. The infrared heater and fan work great. The heat unit is on bottom so heat blows out bottom and then rises. This is important: the old Dimplex heat element was on top. So we always lost a lot of heat inside the fireplace - it never made it into our living room. But with the Duraflame you can stand 4 feet away from fireplace and feel the heat rising up and into the room. Our living room is approx. 15x15. It keeps living room 3-5 degrees warmer than rest of house. Sitting 12 feet away my wife and I can feel the warmth. When you enter the room you immediately feel the difference in temperatures. The Duraflame makes the same noise as a small electric heater. Unnoticable in background. Next - the flame effect. At night it is excellent. It looks quite real projected on to the back of fireplace. The Dimplex projected onto a smoky mirror. During the daytime and often at night you could see a mirror. The flame effect on mirror was OK but you could still tell it was a mirror. The Dimplex also required two lightbulbs to make flame effect, and there was a motor running inside unit (additional to fan) that moved this tinsel stuff on a rod to create the flame effect. Clunky. The Duraflame flames look quite real at night. Next - the ember/ coals effect. On the Duraflame it's pretty fake looking. It doesn't modulate randomly. The internal LED just dims/brightens/goes off in a set pattern over and over. Remote. The Duraflame remote has power/flame/heater controls, so you can operate most everything remotely. On side of actual Duraflame unit there are also controls for intensity of flame, embers, heat level, and a thermostat. We really like thermostat - allows you to control just how warm your room gets. Finally - installation. It's very light and comes with a fairly long cord. The cord comes out the right rear, but even though our outlet is on left of fireplace the cord still comes out of fireplace and extends an additional foot or so. It must be about 3' long. We bought a high amp extension cord to get to outlets that is still several feet away. To install it you just set it in your fireplace and plug it in. Then you adjust thermostat and other things to your liking. That's it. Great! We love it and we think you will, too. It is a quality product shipped quickly. ## Frequently Bought Together - duraflame Electric Log Set 1,000 Sq Ft Heater, Faux Logs Insert with Infrared Flames for Existing Fireplaces, Remote Control Included - FIRMERST 1875W 6 Feet 15A Low Profile Flat Plug Extension Cord 14 AWG Black - FIRMERST 1875W 10ft Flat Plug Extension Cord 14 AWG Black 15A --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/606049447-duraflame-dfi030aru-infrared-quartz-set-heater-with-realistic-ember-bed](https://www.desertcart.us/products/606049447-duraflame-dfi030aru-infrared-quartz-set-heater-with-realistic-ember-bed) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
