Our practical test of the EBERSTIN tabletop fireplace has shown that the manufacturer fulfils its advertising promises in many respects. The installation of the fireplace is very simple and quick, which makes it easy to put into operation and means that the user does not have to wait long. The combustion efficiency of the fireplace is impressive, as it enables efficient combustion of bioethanol to ensure maximum heat output with minimum smoke development. With a burn time of 90 minutes, the fireplace offers enough time for a relaxing evening in a cosy atmosphere. The easy handling of the fireplace is also worthy of praise. The easily accessible fuel feed and intuitive controls make operation uncomplicated. In addition, the required bioethanol was already included in the scope of delivery, so that lighting the fire with a long match or lighter was no problem at all. Overall, we can confirm that the EBERSTIN table fireplace lives up to many of its advertising promises and is therefore a recommended choice for cosy hours at home.
