Efficient heat with glow like log fire
Keeps my living room warm efficient with thermostat setting
Looks like glowing log fire
Good product.
Quiet fan, great flame effect, looks real metal, good buy.
Heat output good
Just had the the living room decorated new fire place and dimplex optiflame remote easy to use heat output great for the size of the the front room great produc
A decent unit and occupies quite abit of space. If not used for the heating, then at least it furnishes the room nicely.
So happy with the effect of this fire.
Love this little stove. We have a Baxi gas fire but it’s not only expensive to run but sometimes, you don’t want heat, just the flame effect. I love the fact that the Tango stove has a coal bed with a mixture of plastic and real coals. The log effect beds can look very fake whereas this, with a smattering of real coal, looks amazing, even when it’s not on.
I have put an Amazon Echo Dot underneath the unit (a 2nd generation dot slides very neatly underneath so you can’t even see it. The globe style 3rd generation won’t fit) and I tell it to play ‘open fireplace sounds’. It’s brilliant! With just the flame effect and the Echo Dot playing a spitting fire sound, the overall effect is fantastic.
I’ve not actually used the heater element at all as I only really wanted this for the visual effect. I’m really, really pleased with it. Only wish I had a spare wall to put it against so I could add the pipe to make it even better looking!
Lovely, good looking, warm heater.
Warm and simple to use. Looks lovely and so reasonable! Remote control not working properly but company very helpful in assuring us that they will replace when they become available!
Good buy just what I wanted
Using this in living room of my small flat. Don’t have a fireplace but wanted to have a focal point in the room particularly one which looked good with a red glow to have appearance of heat.

Fire good remote not good
I only bought this for the visuals but the remote packed up within a couple of weeks. I even replaced the battery but it still didn’t work so had to return( at my own expense)

Excelle
Arrived quickly. Looks great and keeps our room lovely and warm.
Lovely Stove
Love this stove. Flames are very realistic. Fan heater set back from the front so it’s not the first thing you see. Bought a stove pipe, too, and it looks like a real stove. You can hear the fans going but mine is not overly loud. A real fire isn’t silent running either – just different. I would buy again.

The stove looks good in our fire place
We like the fuel infect and just have this on and it makes the room warn without having the fire on but when we do have the fire on it soon warns the room up money well spent. Have not used the remote control yet so I can not comment.
Value for money
Like how it has made a once cold room much more cosy….
Great quality
Absolutely brilliant looks more real than my real one in my garden cabi
Very realistic flame
Pros: realistic flame, option for no heat or two levels of heat.
arrived safely packed, warranty.
Cons: slightly too loud, but it’s not a big problem.
Overall I recommend it.
Beautiful flame effect, so cosy looking
Loved this fire buy sadly had to return it was a little to small for our fireplace we could see the blocked off fire opening
So we purchess another wood burner effect from same brand it’s the same as this one but slightly bigger that looks stunning in the fireplace and covers the backplate.
The flame effect is stunning on both of these fires, both gave out a nice heat.
Aa I said above the only reason for my return was because we needed it a little wider their next size up fitted perfectly

Really good heat output and overall look
Excellent good heat output easy to use very attractive
Flame display safe packaging swift on time delivery. Only problem remote control has very limited range easier to just turn on fire.
A good little elecrric log burner.
It is plastic and if you touch it you can feel that it isn’t the real deal, it is a bit flimsy on the doors, it weighs so little! But who spends all their time touching an electric log burner?! From sat on the sofa, it looks the part, even with the flame effect on, which can give the game away easily on cheaper electric log burners, it isn’t the worst I have seen at all and it kicks out some good heat. So for the price, it is well worth it, plug it in and go.

Love It 😘
Ohhh this is just devine
The fire effect looks so real,
I love to leave the two doors just slightly opened. It had even fooled my cat who laid on her back., belly towards the fire
The heat output is excellent.
Well with every penny
I’m happy
But with confidence.

Great looking fire with realistic flame only setting
I researched this fire carefully and wasnt let down. It’s great, looks lovely, there is a flame only setting. Kicks out some heat which obviously makes some noise but I expected that. Remote only for flame which is very realistic. Glad I got the fire
Beautiful little fire
Beautiful fire with smart lines, looks impressive in our sitting room. When the flame is on it makes the room feel really cosey. Would definitely buy again.
Good looking fire
Great little fire and looks good when on. Dont use the heater as only for visual effects. Could do with more coal for fire bed!! Lucky I had some and looks even better. Added the chimney pipe to finish the effects.

Fab
A great addition to my home which now makes the coal fire redundant.
A nice addition to our little sitting room.
This is a wonderful little fire. Just having the glow on makes the room feel warmer. It warms the room up quickly while waiting for the central heating to kick in. Very happy with this purchase.
Looks great!
It looks lovely and great for an electric fire! More real than other I have seen. Heats up well for a smaller/medium room size… bedroom size…
Good value, and effective fire, for heat and flame effec
The most effective artificial flame. Heats a large room very quick. Remote control, only controls flame light, so not really necessary when you have to manually put other controls functions on.
5 stars
Classy looking heater that kicks out a load of heat. I have it in my conservatory and even when it’s freezing outside after about 15mins the room is lovely and warm.
Realistic coal effect electric fire
I love the cozy feel that the “flames” give to my living room, even without using the fan heater. So much easier and cleaner than a real fire and so convenient.
Looks grea
Love this stove it’s so cosy on a winter’s night,
the flame looks very realistic
Well done Amazon for customer care.
Generally an excellent little fir that does not look cheap and tacky. I was replacing my old one with the same model. Nevertheless although it came very well packaged, the remote was split in half. I phoned up Amazon for a replacement and they were incredibly helpful with a part refund. Thank you for great customer care!

Rubbish Remote!!!!
Looks good and optiflame gives this unit a very presentable look. However the remote control looks cheap and gives the impression that it was an afterthought, nor does it work reliably. Personally I don’t think it’s needed but as it’s in the box the least Dimplex could have done was to make it a quality component, rather than something which frustrates the user and does not, more often than not, fail to achieve its intended purpose.

Great value
Great product, the flame effect is very realistic and the heat output managed to get my girlfriend naked
I bought a similar one from Dunelm and I returned it as it looked cheap and very fake. I was conscious of the price of this and was worried I’d made another mistake. But this electric fire definitely didn’t disappoint. I love the fire effect I have it on most of the time when I am relaxing in the living room. The heat that gives out has two settings and I find it doesn’t have that fake heat smell that most electric fans have. I constantly get compliments on it and I love how realistic the flames are compared to other options.

Flamea look real
Great fire, looks real. Didn’t really buy it for the heat output more the look
Just the job!
I have a good gas central heating system, so i only needed a room focal point and this is FABULOUS for that.The fire is SO realistic that a couple of weeks of useing it,i’m still getting a “buzz”
A must in your lounge
Bought this knowing very little about fires. You won’t be disappointed. Looks like a real coal fire. 2 settings and brilliant heat from it . Would defo recommend
Great fire at good price
Great flame effect with very little noise when fan not o
Good buy
Neat, smart, efficient and good quality. Just what I was looking for. There were cheaper electric stove heaters, but on the basis of recommendations I chose this one. Very glad I did. Cosy in winter, easy to store in warmer weather.

Great produc
Best thing I ever bought flame looks real and no noise from i
Cannot rate this highly enough , everyone thinks it is real until they are up really close , my dogs love it too
Thankfully, the heater setting on 1 heats the room adequately and ticks over without using too much power according to our smartmeter – but on 2 it eats electricity and so unless it is really freezing cold I will not be using 2Kw option. I have the heater in a wood cabin I use for my office and so it is a nice addition and very ambie

Well designed and effective
This is a well designed, sensibly sized stove that throws out excellent heat with a quick press of the remote controller. With the attractive fire display it is a very effective addition to my living room which it heats rapidly and economically
This fire is great. It heats up the room really quickly and it’s quiet too. Also fits perfectly into my fire place. Result 🙂
Looks grea
Really nice shape and the coals when lit look warm and cosy. Looks great in my lounge.
Great Value and Looks Fabulous
Our heater arrived before due date and packed perfectly.
Very easy so set up and really looks superb.
Thank you
Satisfied
Very happy with this fire and the price no problems
Compact and excellent quality
Lovely little stove bangs the heat out.. Just pop the coals inside and plug in… Yes there is a wurring noise but it’s got a fan to distribute the heat.. Value for money
Lovely
Very good value for money. Fits perfectly in my fireplace and looks great! Effective heater which isn’t too loud.
Delivery was very fas
A very very good buy
Really lovely stove. Good quality and looks good in our fire place. Good buy. And the sellers were very good getting back to me about the delivery date, which was spot on.
I have only had the fire a day and I half but did quite a bit of research and review reading and for the money and the dimensions that I needed this little fire came out on top I already had a elsetricfireplace suite but the stove that came with it had just given up the ghost after 3 years of actually not that much use in heating terms have central heating so that’s not really what it was used for just for the flame effect really anyway wanted something that looked a little more realistic and the dimplex range with Optiflame looked like it would do the job obviously there are more expensive models optimist opti v etc but I don’t want to spend 400 plus on a fire.
The fire came well packaged it was a day late but amazon sorted it out quickly and made sure it was delivered the same day I made a complaint I dont pay for prime for no reason !
The fire is well made looks a lot more expensive now it’s in place in the fire surround sturdy has a lovely flame effect which makes the house cosy even without the heat on great little remote that if your on off switch is left on and u choose to leave the 1st or second heat switch on will switch it all back on or off also some people said in other reviews that it was loud when switched on I don’t think it is it’s very quite compared with the one I had previously I’m really happy with this fire I’m glad I did some research also it’s a bargain it is 225 on the dimplex website so save your self some money and go for it you won’t be disappointed.

First class service by company. Arrived within 24 hours. On time. Well packaged. Very impressed.
Nice flame effec

Five Stars
Good value for money and does exactly what it says.
Bought for mum, who needed a quick source of heat in her home, this is stylish and well loved especially as it has a remote to turn on and off.
Delighted with purchase
Delighted with purchase. Arrived two days after ordering. So easy to install and is a great addition to the lounge. Amount of warmth is amazing.
Excellent.....
Lovely little stove , looks good , great heat, well packed and arrived on day intended.. Highly Recommend…..
I am more than pleased its above my expectations. The whole thing is very good to look at the optiflame effect is very lifelike, I have had quite a few compliments on the whole thing. One small complaint is that the remote should operate the heating as well as the on off .

I debated long and hard it I should buy this, as I really want a real wood burner but as my house has no chimney it would be a messy and expensive job to fit one. I then decided to give this a try, encouraged by the mainly positive reviews. It arrived within 3 days of placing the order and was really easy to install, basically open the box and plug it in. It does brighten up the room, especially now that the long nights are coming. I have not ordered this for the heat, just to give the house a cosy look and focal point. It will never be able to replace the real thing but as a substitute it’s more than ok. Would recommend.

Brilliant little stove
So pleased with it. Excellent for my new conservatory. Only needs to be on for 10 minutes. Unfortunately the first one arrived damaged but the replacement came next day. Thank you Amazon.
Excellent product.
Great product , lovely looking piece and a good beat for my double room.
Very happy with the product , looks great when on love the remote control feature
This product is amazing after being quoted 4000 for a wood burner,I decided to go with this purchase with the flu And harth. Brilliant .
I normally never write reviews, but I felt compelled to write one for the Dimplex heater because I had many doubts and questions before ordering and did not find them answered.
We live in Ireland and I ordered it 2 days ago; it arrived this morning, well packaged and completely put together (we did not even have to screw on the legs like all cheaper heaters need doing). We took it out of the box and plugged it right in – perfect. Both doors open and there is a fairly realistic flame effect on the back, with a hardly visible pattern. There is a plastic bed of “glowing coals”, and 3 small bags with about 15 pieces of real coal were in the box, which can be placed on the plastic bed for a more realistic effect. All over the inside back wall, there is a mirror which displays the fiery glow when switched on. When switched off, the mirror is visible, but as it is low to the ground, you have to stoop down to see it.
It is already fitted with LED lights for the fire (environmentally friendly and cheap) and I have not found a door to replace them, but I suppose LED bulbs are long lasting and probably don’t have to be replaced. The button for manual on/off switching and the 2 heat buttons (one for 1kW and one for 2kW) are placed low on the left side of the unit, and there is a remote control (complete with fitted batteries, black, about 2″ long and very slim) which switches the stove on and off to the last setting it was set to. In other words, if it is set to 1kW heat output and switched off, the remote switches it back on to that setting.To switch the unit on, the glowing fire comes on automatically, so it is not possible to have the heat on without the “glowing fire” look, but it is possible to have the glow on without any heat output. Soundwise it is exactly as loud as a small fan heater (and slightly louder on the 2kw setting) because this is essentially what it is. It throws out an amazing amount of heat; our living room is 6m x 7m, and it warmed up immediately. It is higher off the ground than other heaters; I kept checking the temperature on the floor underneath the stove, but it did not make the floor very hot at all and the heat is thrown out along the bottom front only. I was also worried about the on/off buttons to be hot to the touch, but they are not affected by the heat at all. It switches off automatically when it gets too hot and this is a safety feature and can’t be adjusted manually; after a few minutes it has cooled down enough to be switched on again.
At 16c per Irish kW hour, this is much cheaper to run than brickets or coal in a fireplace. I have one complaint (which is ridiculous I admit): The polished “Dimplex” logo is very shiny and large on the (pretend) ash drawer so that this might have to be covered somehow. A cute, stylish, effective heater and super safe – a friend of ours dropped by as we had just plugged it in and asked if we got a new “real” stove, so it looks really realistic (at first glance anyway). I would definitely recommend.
Lovely fire, quiet operation, flames looks great, and kicks out decent amount of heat on full power. Just wish the remote could alter heat settings, all it does is turn the flames on and off. Happy with purchase.

Beautiful fire and a lovely addition to my very small lounge. We use it quite a lot with just the lights on.
Very pleased
Good heat makes room look cosy even if heating off and flames just on. Would buy again. Speedy delivery.
Great fire with great flame effect, which looks realistic as the coals are real. Good output from heater but I hardly ever use it.. Just bought for the glow.
Very pleased with this fire. A little bit noisier than I thought it would be but there again it is a convector that gives out heat. Would have given it 5 stars but remote doesn’t work.
Great little look a like stove, it’s very enchanting and cozy when on, makes the lounge feel warm and heats the room up quite quickly I’m happy thank you deliver before said date.

My stove has just arrived and is up and running . Arrived three days early too . I didn’t really buy it for the heat output just for a focal point ( better than watching tv) I love it . Just tried the heat on it and it really kicks it out. Some people say there is a slight buzz but I truly cannot hear it with just the flame effect on . I suppose there is a pattern to the flame effect but I haven’t found it yet . Don’t keep thinking about it, just buy it you won’t regret it.
This Dimplex unit is of far better quality than some of the slightly cheaper units available in some DIY stores. Definitely worth the extra few pounds.
Has that feel of better quality materials.

As I have central heating I don’t really need a electric fire although I was impressed with the heat the fire gave out. I wanted it solely for the flame effect just to make it seem warmer
I know it’s all in the mind but just seeing a flame makes a big difference. Strikes me someone is missing a trick not making a product with just a flame effect as most homes now have central heating.

Great fire
Looks great and performs well – heats the room and is fairly silent.
Cosy
Very authentic looking without the mess of a real fire. Very cosy, lots of compliments from visitors. Very pleased!
Love this fire, its well made and looks great, its great to have instant heat…
superb quality. looks like a real fire and provides lovely heat in the living room.. would buy agai
Five Stars
Very please with this item, flame effect very realistic, fooled quite a few people.
Very impressed with this fire. Sturdy and lovely looking little fire for our room. Warm and cosy enough with low setting heat (so far). Loving it.
Purchased a few months ago.
Wanted it to heat a 12 by 12 foot room that we would use frequently. Wanted a stove effect to fit in with the dcor. Wanted something that wouldn’t cost too much to run.
Previously had a stove effect fire, which turned out to be some cheap made rubbish, so this time wanted one that was of a decent build quality from a brand that is recognised.
Observations
Overall it looks the part.It looks realistic and the flame effect certainly looks more real than other makes we have seen. It looks quite realistic when looking at it from an angle.
It heats up the room really quick. There are 2 settings so you can alter the heat if required.
Energy a rated so reasonably efficient, cheaper models I found use up a lot more electricity.
The make Dimplex have been around for a long time and have a good reputation.
It comes with an on/off remote control for ease of use. However it appears it only works if the remote is directly in front of the fire.
You can hear the motor running when the fire is on, but it is not loud or intrusive and is easily hidden by any background noise.
At 129 quid, its not the cheapest but certainly not the most expensive.
Worth checking the dimensions for this stove as other makes and models we found are different.
Arrived within a couple of days. Replacing an actual woodburner, looks as good as the real thing. Read some reviews re. noise – no noise at all when just using flame effect (which is very realistic). Obviously some noise when fan heater is activated but not too intrusive. Great value for money and a great product. Looks far more realistic than a fire my parents paid 400+ for.
