Which one heats a room better?

The Duraflame. It is rated for 1,000 sq ft at 5,200 BTU with a thermostat, while the Napoleon is a 5,000 BTU supplement with two heat settings and no thermostat.

Is the Napoleon worth the extra money?

Only if you want the built-in look. At $959.00 at Lowe's versus $90.59 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, you pay for the slim wall mount and color controls, not more heat.

Can I put the Napoleon in a small apartment?

Yes. It is 5.44 inches deep and plugs into a standard outlet, with no gas line or venting. Check the wall you plan to hang it on can take the weight.

Does the Duraflame need assembly?

Minimal. Reviewers say it is easy to set up by screwing on four legs, then plugging it in.

Which is safer around kids and pets?

The Duraflame lists overheat protection and is rated safe around pets and children. The Napoleon has no safety listing, so keep it above reach and clear of curtains.

The Napoleon carries a 2-year limited warranty. The Duraflame's warranty is not stated here, and its 3 ratings are too few to judge long-term reliability.
