When I first unboxed Turbro’s Suburbs TS25 Smart Electric Fireplace, the missing screwdriver was a minor annoyance that didn’t stop me from setting up the white, polished-enamel unit in my living room. A quick press of the power button revealed a cartoon-like LED fire that soon became the backdrop for an unintended nap. This review explores its ease of use, smart features, and the science behind its calming effect.

Health & Wellness Impact
Studies by Christopher D. Lynn show that watching a fire-real or simulated-can lower blood pressure. Lynn’s follow-up experiment with this electric fireplace, funded by Napoleon Fireplaces, confirmed similar results. The research also suggests simulated fires may enhance cognitive function without indoor air pollution.
Christopher D. Lynn said:
> “replicated our original study using an electric fireplace with funding from Napoleon Fireplaces and found results similar to the original study.”
