Cabela's Large Electric Stove Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I received this product yesterday morning. The stove came in perfect condition, no marks, dents etc.

I ran it on and off the high heat setting for 12 hours. The floor stayed cool, I was able to hold my hand on the bottom of the heater box without burning my hand even on the highest setting. I lowered the heat in the house due to the extreme warmth coming from the product, the living room and kitchen and surrounding area stayed very comfortable all 12 hours. The flame looks great and adds a nice touch to the living room.

I would recommend product to anyone.

First experienced an electric fireplace in the bedroom at a B&B we stayed in last fall. We decided we really need one of those to take the chill off in our own home. We were able to purchase this Duraflame electric fireplace this spring at the end of the season for a fabulous deal (~ $80). We had the opportunity to use it ~ 6 weeks before the temps warmed up outside. Can run just the fireplace flames (without heat) or even put something decorative on the top of it with no fear of heat which comes out below. Size is ~ 23" high x 20" wide and 12"deep. The info on the DFS-S550BLK says it heats up to 400 square feet and uses 4600 BTU's. The noise level of the fan is not deafening but you can hear that it is on. We planned to put it in our bedroom but have used it our large living room with a vaulted ceiling (plus fan) which always seems chilly in the winter. There has been no noticeable increase in our electric bill since it has been keeping the room warm enough to keep the heat pump from kicking on. Easy enough to move from room to room but we wish we would have purchased a second one!

It'll get a good workout this coming fall through spring along with our wood burning stove & fireplace. These electric fireplaces are great to have and we wish we would have known about them years ago!

Added Nov 26, 2010: Now that the cold has kicked in again, we have run this every day now for over a month. Our electric bill reflected only ~ $25 increase. The propane truck also arrived to 'top off' our tank, since he didn't need to fill it so only a 40% fill, which was expensive enough ~ $650. If this fireplace as well as our real wood stove continues to offset these high fuel costs with less propane fuel deliveries, we'll continue to be quite happy.

Added Oct 23, 2012: Noticed that this is now a Cabelas branded item. When I purchased this, it was (and still is for us) a Duraflame product. Actually, we just purchase our second Duraflame electric fireplace (black). Paid about the same too; $75 we have a great local salvage type place to pick up products out of season or last year's models. Initially looked the same from the outside, but there is a slight change we noticed immediately opening the inside. There are 4 knobs (instead of 3) to adjust both the temperature and the brightness of the 'flame'. The 'log' looks a little more realistic too; identical to the Cabelas one. Sometimes this fireplace is also highlighted on the shopping channels on tv in a variety of colors. Now we have two working portable firplaces to offset our winter propane bill. Great product!

I bought this stove and raved about it to my friends. So cute. So lightweight. So inexpensive. What's not to love? But within a few weeks of use it began making a noise as the motor inside rotates something to create the flame affect. A pretty noticable noise. I'll be returning it today. Had this not happened it would have received 5 starts from me.
