i have seen them in stores around here, but marketed for outdoor use. they claim same specs as per indoor use one and use alcohol gel fuel--ventless, odorless,etc
i have seen tabletop and floating ones for ponds/pools
I got it because it puts out just enough actual heat for me to use in my studio. The IR heater is adequate by itself, but the fireplace allows me to turn it off for a few hours and still be toasty. I do not think it would work for a large place as far as heat, but for ambience it calls forth the exact same engrams as sitting in front of a traditional fireplace. Dancing flames, nothing like a candle or a burner. The ventless ones are the only ones safe to use indoors. The gel fireplaces cost more to operate than the ethanol fireplaces, and the flame pattern comes from only a canister. The ethanol allows a linear flame like in the video.
Strange...Walmart sells the Vigo I have for over $450.00, but Sears has it for $76.00, and I got mine on Amazon for only $69.95:
