The PuraFlame Bernice is a 42-inch linear fireplace designed for clean, modern installation. Its slim 6.3-inch depth and concealed heater vents let it disappear into a wall, creating a focal point without bulk. You can mount it directly, build it into a framed wall, or use it as a freestanding unit, offering serious flexibility for renters and homeowners alike.

Operation is where it feels genuinely current. You control everything from your smart device, with voice commands via Alexa or Google, or with the included remote. The nine flame and ember bed colors let you shift the mood from a classic orange glow to a modern blue or purple hue. Adjustable crackling sound and brightness add to the ambiance. The included driftwood and crystal media are a nice touch, allowing you to customize the look without a separate purchase.

The 2-inch aluminum trim gives it a crisp, finished edge, and the powder-coated metal build feels solid. Just note that as a plug-in electric unit, you’ll need to plan for cord management and a nearby outlet. The heater is effective for personal space, but it’s best for supplemental warmth in a room, not as a primary heat source.
