18-Inch vs 24-Inch Electric Fireplace Stove: Size, Heat Settings and Flame-Only Mode Explained

An electric fireplace stove is chosen for atmosphere first, heat second. The Marine Dana Freestanding Electric Fireplace Stove with 3-Sided Flame comes in two sizes, and the right one depends on room size, floor space and how much heat you actually want. This guide compares the two versions using only the specifications listed for the product, and flags one important gap for the larger size.

1. The two sizes and prices

• 18 inch, $98: approximately 14.2 in W x 8 in D x 18 in H, 11.9 lb, antique black.
• 24 inch, $209: the larger, higher-priced version. Its exact dimensions and weight are not listed in the current product size table, which applies to the 18-inch model, so confirm the 24-inch dimensions before ordering if floor space is tight.

Do not assume the 24-inch model is simply the 18-inch model scaled up by 6 inches in every direction. If you are buying the 24-inch version for a specific nook, shelf or corner, email support@marinedana.com with your available space before purchasing.

2. Flames, heat and controls

• Three-sided LED flames: flames are visible from three sides, so the stove works better as a freestanding focal point than pushed flat against a wall with only the front visible.
• Two heat settings: 700W low and 1400W high, on 120V power.
• Flame-only mode: LED flames can run without heat, so you can use the fireside look in warmer months without adding heat to the room.
• Simple mechanical controls: no app or remote is listed for this product; controls are mechanical.
• Decorative door: the front door is decorative and does not open. This is a freestanding electric stove, not a wood-burning stove, and it does not need a chimney or venting.

3. Placement and safety checks

• Place the stove on a flat, stable floor, with clearance around it as described in the supplied manual, away from curtains, bedding and other flammable materials.
• Check that a 120V outlet is nearby and that the cord will not cross a walkway.
• Keep the stove where it will not be knocked over, and do not cover it while it is heating.
• Follow the supplied manual for operation and care, and use a qualified installer or electrician if electrical safety or placement is uncertain.

4. Which size should you choose?

• Small room, apartment or corner: start with the 18-inch model, $98, whose size and weight are listed above.
• Larger room or a bigger visual focal point: consider the 24-inch model, $209, but confirm its exact dimensions first, as noted above.
• Flame look without heat: either size offers flame-only mode, so choose by size and budget, not by flame features.
