Virelle 175 Electric Fire with Surround

Virelle 175 draws 750 W on the low setting, which is what makes it usable in a flat where 2 kW would be too much.

The heater is a fan element with a thermal cut-out, and the grille is at the top rather than the front — the fire can sit against a low bench without blowing hot air at ankles.

LED flame beds are the part that dates fastest. The module in this one is a serviceable part rather than a sealed assembly. It is built to be re-lined rather than replaced.
