How we picked

We check the price of every electric fire in our Electric Fireplaces category every day and keep a 12-month history for each one. Before anything can be picked it has to pass the same checks: it must really be a electric fire (accessories, spare parts and products listed in the wrong category are left out), be in stock with a current price, and — where Amazon shows ratings — have at least 4.0★ from 20 or more reviews.

  • Best overall — the strongest rating, weighted by how many people reviewed it.
  • Best value — a top-rated pick at or below the typical price for the category.
  • Best deal right now — the biggest drop below its own 12-month average price (only products with at least 5 days of price history).

Picks are refreshed as prices change, so this page always reflects today’s prices rather than a fixed list.
