Sonegra 32" Electric Fireplace with Mantel vs Touchstone Sideline Elite 50-Inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace with White Mantel

The Touchstone Sideline Elite 50 is the stronger fireplace: a 50-inch linear firebox with a 46-inch viewing area, 60 flame and ember combinations, Wi-Fi with Alexa and Google Home, and a thermostat. The Sonegra is a smaller 32-inch unit with a 5,000 BTU heater and adjustable LED flame, and it mounts three ways, including wall mount. Both heat at 1,500W and 5,000 BTU. Buy the Touchstone for a bigger fire, smart controls and a freestanding mantel that needs no cutting. Buy the Sonegra for a compact wall-mounted or corner install in a small room.

• Choose the Sonegra if you have a narrow wall or corner, want a wall-mounted or three-sided look, and need a small heater for a bedroom or den.
• Choose the Touchstone Sideline Elite if you want a wide linear fire, app and voice control, and a freestanding mantel you can assemble and plug in without cutting the wall.
