Cheesy or not? Thinking about sticking one in my bedroom.
I'd rather have a electric blanket.

Give it a try. I would. I use my ugly space heater at times. You will add a little panache.

Electric blankets give me the night sweats even when turned on low for a few minutes.

A peg below a gas fireplace which I think is okay for limp wristed fellas and women that grew up without a dad.

I quit using mine after my wife died. I simply don't spend much time in my family room anymore. Have a half cord of pecan wood that is free to a good home.

A space heater is more versatile. An electric fireplace is, well, that's been covered pretty well so far.
Most of the time you spend in there is with your eyes closed, So why?

Different strokes for different folks. I would be interested. I spend most of my time at home reading in my bedroom. Do you have the link or a picture of the one you are considering?

Looking at a few. Don't need to heat my whole house anymore and I will prob be spending more awake.time in my bedroom than I used to. I have a space heater, ordered a remote control thermostat plug also. Also need some new furniture in there so ia fireplace would double as a mantle for pictures and stuff. Think maybe I ll skip it for now. Use.the space heater, add a couple candles for ambiance. Maybe run a gas line from my furnace closet in the future and a dearborn or ng fireplace when I can afford that.

I have a fireplace in my master bedroom that comes on with a electric switch on the wall, it powered by natural gas, it does a rather good job heating the bedroom, it fake wood and glass on the front.
My fireplace in my living room, I converted it to a fake logs, I don't have to jack with wood anymore

Never mind. I looked them up. I could live with this one.

Dang. All hope is lost. Just when I was thinking there might be something else we agree on. Lol
We have one and it really looks good. Can use to heat or just for ambiance. We have a bigger house and very few people so can turn it on and knock off the chill in bed room. Go for it.
