BACOENG Tabletop Fire Pit, Mini Bioethanol Fireplace Portable Concrete, Table Top Fire Bowl for Indoor and Outdoor Use, Gray, 38 x 8.5 x 8.5 cm

I bought this for our bedroom as a Christmas present for my wife. I actually chose this particular one because of its dimensions (it needed to fit in a specific place), but I'm so happy with it overall that I don't think I could have chosen a better one anyway. The concrete-like ceramic looks great and is much nicer than the metal of the other one we have.It's small and simple and works really well. I added some ceramic wool, also bought from Amazon, to absorb the fuel and help prevent and spills if it was to get knocked accidentally. That's actually not very likely anyway though because of where it's positioned and the fact it's quite heavy and sturdy.I wanted it mainly for effect but the fact it gives off a good bit of heat too is excellent. It really warms up the room in a few minutes after lighting it. Don't get me wrong, it's not the equivalent of a proper fireplace or an electric heater but as a bit of additional heat it's more effective than I ever would have expected.The flames are low and blue at first, taking a few minutes to build up into taller yellow flames. It's really pretty to look at, and very calming. I'd say a full load of fuel lasts for about an hour, but the time can be extended by partly covering the top with the supplied metal cover. We tend to keep it about half covered, which gives a more gentle, longer lasting flame.Obviously as it's being used in a bedroom we have to very careful. I've installed a smoke alarm and we have a fire extinguisher nearby, just in case.

The media could not be loaded. Had to drop a star because it came covered in white marks and greasy dirt. After I wiped it off (which pulled off as a black sludge), I was able to add some fire pads and bioethanol fuel in this and found it fits perfectly in my (soon to be replaced) fireplace.I like the flame this accommodates, it I bigger than I thought and looks great in the fireplace. I might feel it’s a bit big for a dinner table!Of course bioethanol fuel doesn’t last too long (nothing to do with the burner itself) - 1 litre burns for about an hour, at £6 a pop - so it will be used as a treat only.

The media could not be loaded. Absolutely love this product.Finished our garden off nicely. My kids loved melting there marshmallows over it.Came well packed with clear instructions.

The media could not be loaded. Great looking product.. really heats up the space had to make modify to make fuel burn longer using foil and ceramic woolMine was also miss shappen which is odd as it a cast concrete

The media could not be loaded. This fire gives off a great flame , we decided to not get a wood burner installed due to cost and the mess with it (although I'd love one , one day) anyway this gives off a great flame and it's more for just wanting that real flame , it's so cosy now , only downfall is it only lasts a hour .. so will definitely be getting a larger capacity one for the fire and using this for marshmallows in the summer with the children, our living room is fairly small and this fire without doubt warms the room up !

Unfortunately there was a chip on the corner of the fire pit which was very noticeable.

The media could not be loaded. So lovely for our fireplace. Like reviews before, for various reasons I’m not able to go for a solid fuel fire right now. This is an affordable way to have an instant natural flame without all the mess and stress. It’s lush!

Lasts just under an hour when full. Gives a good heat.
