About the Prime Senso Bioethanol Fire Insert
The Planika Senso Burner is the smallest automatic bioethanol fireplace insert featuring revolutionary BEV Technology in an ultra-compact design. At just 38 x 26 x 14 cm, this automatic burner provides indoor fire in the most comfortable form without smoke, soot, or ash. The patented BEV Technology heats bioethanol inside the burner and turns it into flammable vapours combusted above the burner level, eliminating direct contact between liquid fuel and flame for maximum safety. Perfect for compact spaces or rooms around 25m³, the Senso is especially beneficial in cities and countries with CO2 emission restrictions.
With 2-level flame control, the Senso Burner offers flexibility for your needs. Lower eco mode extends burning time up to 4.5 hours from the compact 1.3L tank capacity. Higher mode delivers 2.5kW heat output for warming smaller spaces efficiently. The integrated control panel provides intuitive operation, whilst the handy minimalistic remote control allows easy adjustments and eco mode activation from anywhere in the room. Automatic refilling system with electronic pump prevents overfilling and spillage risks. Made in Poland with galvanised steel construction and black powder coating finish, the Senso weighs just 10kg. Includes glass shield, decorative glass foam granulate, and complete mounting set.

Planika Senso Burner FAQ
Everything you need to know about the Planika Senso Burners
Senso Burner measures just 38 x 26 x 14 cm with 10kg weight, making it the smallest automatic bioethanol burner in Planika's premium collection. Despite ultra-compact dimensions, it features full BEV Technology for maximum safety, automatic refilling system, 2 flame levels, remote control, and integrated control panel. Perfect for compact spaces, small living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, or apartments where larger burners would be overwhelming. Includes complete installation package with glass shield, decorative glass foam granulate, mounting set, and all necessary components. The compact 1.3L tank provides up to 4.5 hours burning with 2.5kW heat output suitable for rooms around 25m³. Proves automatic bioethanol fire is accessible even in space-constrained environments.
Yes. Despite being the smallest automatic burner, Senso features full BEV (Burning Ethanol Vapours) Technology—the safest way of burning ethanol fuel. Bioethanol is heated inside the burner and turned into flammable vapours which are combusted above the burner level. This eliminates direct contact between liquid fuel and flame for maximum safety. Produces only water vapour and minimal CO2 with no smoke, soot, or ash. This makes Senso especially beneficial in cities and countries with CO2 emission restrictions. The combination of BEV Technology safety with ultra-compact dimensions provides unique value—authentic real fire in the smallest possible form factor without compromising on safety or performance.
Senso Burner operates up to 4.5 hours on the compact 1.3L fuel tank. Lower eco mode extends burning time whilst higher mode delivers stronger 2.5kW heat output. Burning duration depends on flame level selection—eco mode prioritizes extended operation whilst higher mode prioritizes heat output. The automatic refilling system with integrated pump manages fuel delivery, preventing overfilling risks. Bioethanol 95-96.6% fuel is widely available. For extended operation without refilling, consider larger models like Neo Burner (up to 6 hours) or Prime Fire 2.0 (up to 9 hours). However, Senso's compact tank keeps weight manageable whilst still providing substantial enjoyment duration for most residential applications.
Senso Burner includes everything needed for complete installation: the burner unit itself with BEV Technology, glass shield for flame protection, 2 small glass holders, fuel pump for automatic refilling system, remote control for convenient operation, decorative glass foam granulate for aesthetic enhancement, complete mounting set with all necessary hardware, power cable for 230V connection, and installation manual with clear instructions. Made in Poland with galvanised steel and toughened glass construction. Black powder coating finish maintains attractive appearance. This comprehensive package enables almost immediate setup and operation. No additional purchases required except bioethanol fuel. Perfect for homeowners wanting hassle-free installation with all components included from the manufacturer.
Senso Burner delivers 2.5kW maximum heat output optimized for rooms around 25m³ (approximately 3m x 3m x 3m). Whilst not designed as primary heating for large spaces, it provides effective supplemental warmth for compact rooms, home offices, bedrooms, or small living areas. The 2 flame level control allows adjusting heat output for your needs—higher setting for maximum warmth, lower eco mode for extended ambiance with gentle heat. Air change rate of 1 space volume per hour ensures optimal operation. For larger spaces requiring more heat, consider Neo Burner (up to 5.9kW) or Prime Fire 2.0 (up to 9.4kW). Senso excels at providing authentic fire ambiance with modest supplemental heating in space-constrained environments where compact dimensions are essential.
