HOMCOM Free Standing Electric Fireplace Stove vs Waleaf 28" Electric Fireplace with Mantel

Buy the Waleaf if you want a mantel, storage and a bigger focal piece; buy the HOMCOM if you want a small, light stove that fits in a tight corner. The Waleaf rates higher with owners (4.7 from 19 versus 3.9 from 17) and adds a child lock, timer and overheat protection. The HOMCOM is simpler and smaller, but its 17 ratings are mixed and it offers fewer safety and comfort features.

• Choose the HOMCOM stove if you have a narrow spot, want a compact freestanding unit, and mainly need flame ambiance with optional heat.
• Choose the Waleaf if you want a mantel top and storage, a timer, a child lock and stronger owner ratings.
