Quick Answer: PuraFlame’s Western 33” insert ($389.99, confirmed direct from puraflame.com) is the best overall pick — a 750W/1,500W recessed unit that fits 26”–36” openings at this site’s usual budget-brand price point. For smart-home control, the Alice Pro 50”/60” ($449.99) adds Alexa and Google Assistant support, 6 flame colors, and 13 fuel-bed colors on the same heater. The 57” Cream White Mantel Suite ($769.99) wraps that identical Western insert in a finished wood shell for buyers who don’t want to frame anything in — a genuine $380 premium for furniture, not more heat. Notably, PuraFlame is the one brand on this site that sticks to a standard 400 sq ft rating rather than printing an optimistic 1,000 sq ft claim on the same wattage.
PuraFlame shows up scattered across this site — the Western insert in our best electric fireplace insert guide, the Alice 40” in our Amazon buying guide, and the compact Western 22 53/64” in our bedroom picks — but never its own dedicated roundup. Here’s the brand’s current lineup side by side, including a real find in its own catalog: the “Mantel Suite” furniture packages aren’t a different, more powerful product — they’re the exact same insert already covered elsewhere on this site, priced hundreds of dollars higher for the wood shell around it.

1. Western 33” — Best Overall
PuraFlame Western 33" Electric Fireplace Insert
- $389.99, confirmed direct from puraflame.com — fits openings from 26" to 36" wide, making it PuraFlame's most flexible single insert for retrofitting an existing firebox or building a custom surround.
- 750W/1,500W dual heat settings rated for a standard 400 sq ft, the same baseline this site treats as the honest figure for a 1,500W-class element in our 1,000 sq ft claim breakdown.
- Also the insert used inside PuraFlame's own Mantel Suite furniture packages below — buying it on its own, rather than in a mantel shell, is the cheapest way into this exact heater.

This is the same insert platform behind PuraFlame’s picks in our best electric fireplace insert and bedroom guides — a genuinely popular, if unglamorous, workhorse for this brand.
2. Alice Pro 50”/60” — Best Smart Features
PuraFlame Alice Pro 50/60 Inches Wall-Mounted / In-Wall Recessed Electric Fireplace
- $449.99, confirmed direct from puraflame.com — PuraFlame's only line with Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility, controllable by remote, app, or voice.
- 6 flame colors and 13 fuel-bed colors, well beyond the Western line's simpler color set, plus adjustable brightness and a crackling sound effect with volume control.
- 5.5" overall depth (5.9" firebox cavity) built for 2x6 stud framing, available in both 50" and 60" widths at the same $449.99 price — same 400 sq ft heat rating as every other PuraFlame model in this guide.
For buyers who want app or voice control without stepping up to Touchstone or Dimplex pricing, this is the PuraFlame to get — see our Amazon buying guide for how PuraFlame’s own-listing pricing compares to third-party resellers.
3. 57” Cream White Mantel Suite — Best No-Install
PuraFlame 57" Cream White with Dark Walnut Top Mantel Suite (with Western 33" Insert)
- $769.99, confirmed direct from puraflame.com — a finished mantel cabinet with the Western 33" insert already installed, for buyers who want a plug-and-done piece of furniture rather than a bare insert to frame in themselves.
- The heater inside is identical to this guide's standalone Western 33" pick above — same 750W/1,500W element, same 400 sq ft rating, same remote control.
- The $380 gap between this package and the bare insert is the mantel cabinet and assembly, not a different or more powerful heater — worth knowing before assuming a "suite" name means an upgraded unit.
If floor space and a finished look matter more than saving $380, this is the pick — otherwise the bare Western insert above heats the same room for less.
4. Western 22 53/64” — Best Compact/Budget
PuraFlame Western 22 53/64" Electric Fireplace Insert
- $269.99–$289.99 depending on retailer — PuraFlame's smallest and cheapest insert, at just under 23" wide and roughly 20" high.
- Fits above a dresser or on a narrow wall where the 33" Western would overwhelm the space, already this site's pick for compact bedroom installs in our bedroom guide.
- Same 750W/1,500W dual heat settings and fire-crackling sound option as the larger Western, just in a smaller footprint and at the lowest price in PuraFlame's lineup.
For a narrow wall or above-dresser install, this is the PuraFlame that fits — without paying for width you don’t have room to use.
The real find: the “suite” name doesn’t mean a different heater
Every other single-brand roundup on this site has turned up some kind of marketing gap — an inflated square-footage claim, a naming trap, or a genuine 240V heat exception. PuraFlame’s own lineup is unusually consistent: none of its models claim more than the standard 400 sq ft this site treats as honest for a 1,500W element, a real contrast to Real Flame, Dimplex’s Sierra line, ClassicFlame’s PanoGlow, and Duraflame’s Infragen stove, all of which print “up to 1,000 sq ft” on the same wattage. The one place PuraFlame’s own marketing still deserves a second look is the Mantel Suite line — its finished furniture packages use the exact same Western 33” insert sold on its own elsewhere in this guide, just wrapped in a wood cabinet for roughly $380 more. That’s a fair price for furniture and assembly, but it’s not a heat upgrade, and a buyer assuming “Suite” means a bigger or better heater would be wrong.
The bottom line
For most buyers, the Western 33” is the PuraFlame to get — the same insert used across the brand’s furniture packages, at the lowest price for that exact heater. If Alexa or Google Assistant control matters, the Alice Pro adds it for about $60 more. Buyers who want a finished piece of furniture and don’t want to frame anything in should budget for the Mantel Suite, knowing the premium buys the cabinet, not more heat. And for a narrow wall or above-dresser install, the Western 22 53/64” is this brand’s smallest, cheapest option.
