Sideline 50 Recessed Smart Electric Fireplace vs Touchstone Sideline 40 Recessed Electric Fireplace

These are the same fireplace in two widths. The 50-inch gives you a wider flame view and a bigger focal wall; the 40-inch fits tighter spaces and has a slightly higher owner rating. Both heat the same 400 sq ft at 5,000 BTU, both are Wi-Fi with Alexa and Google Home, and both include logs and crystals. Pick by wall width, not by features.

• Choose the Sideline 50 if you have the wall width and want the fireplace to be the room's focal point.
• Choose the Sideline 40 if your wall or opening is narrow, or you want a more understated accent.
