Hi
Just wondering for those who have one - etc how effective it is to heat a average sized living room- or is the heat only near the fireplace - would like to avoid gas
something like this

Thanks
addit size of place is roughly 7mx7m
Heater (Watts): 750W/1500W
It's just a normal inefficient fan heater, it'll be as good or bad as any fan heater. Produce less heat than this $15 fan heater actually which draws an astonishing "Power input: 1800-2000W" https://www.kmart.com.au/product/fan-heater-black-and-white-…
Best bet is to get a split system and buy a decorative fireplace thing if you need one, it'll use almost no power as it's just some spinning strands of foil and LED bulbs shining on it. You'll save thousands of dollars over several winters compared to your electric heater fireplace, many thousands if you like to get your house hot on the coldest days of the year.
Get a microwave fireplace. Enjoy the entire weekend in front of the fire in just 15 minutes.
All resistive/electric heaters are the same. go buy a 1500w fan heater put it in your room & you will know how effective that overpriced lightshow will be.

If you want to actually cost effectively heat your place, get a reverse cycle split & put a video of a fire on your TV.
I think the OP needs to read the product page of the item they've linked.
This is just a resistive 750w/1500w heater. So it'll heat as well as any 750w/1500w heater.
The seller even provides instructions for calculating your heating requirement.
For an insulated room with average ceiling heights (e.g. 2.4 meters), you’ll need a heater with an output of approximately 100 watts per square meter to heat efficiently. For example, if space was 15sqm (3m x 5m) you would require a 1500W (1.5kW) heater.
