What you get
The US Stove GW1949 Electric Stove Heater is an electric stove whose maker rates its heater at 40,000 BTU per hour.
The maker says it heats up to 2,000 square feet; as with any 120-volt heater, read that as supplemental heat for one room.
Like most electric fireplaces the flame effect can run with the heater off, using far less power.
Its stove shape sits on the floor anywhere near an outlet, with no vent or chimney.
Electric fireplaces burn nothing, so they produce no carbon monoxide and need no vent, chimney or gas line.
Also on the listing: overall dimensions of 24 in (D) x 15 in (W) x 52 in (H), a shipping or unit weight of 131 lb and alloy steel construction.
Warranty, per the listing: 3 years on firebox. 1 year on cabinet.
