- Buyers who want switchable log and crystal hearth options in one unit
- Living rooms where 60 inches fits the wall without overwhelming the space
Not for
- Buyers who don't use smart home features -- the R.W.FLAME delivers more width for less
- Large rooms where 60 inches looks small -- consider the Elite 60 or R.W.FLAME 68-inch
Key Details
Smart Control Changes How You Use a Fireplace
A remote-only fireplace requires you to be in the room to turn it on. A WiFi-enabled fireplace lets you turn it on from bed, schedule it to warm the living room before you arrive home, or shut it off from another room when you forget. Alexa integration adds voice control -- walk into the room and say 'Alexa, turn on the fireplace' without touching a remote. With strong feedback from a sizable number of buyers, it is the most established smart pick in this review.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Alexa and WiFi app control for voice and remote operation
- 30 flame and ember color combinations
- Switchable log and crystal hearth
- Strong buyer feedback
- 1500W heater with thermostat
Cons
- More expensive than the R.W.FLAME at similar size
- Recessed installation requires wall cutting
- Smart features require 2.4GHz WiFi
Bottom Line
Buy the Touchstone Sideline 60-Inch if Alexa and WiFi control are priorities. For buyers focused purely on value and the largest buyer base without smart features, the R.W.FLAME 68-inch is the stronger purchase.
