Good quality and the log flame effect is great. Small point but i would have liked 2nd power setting to be 2kw.
The best thing is you can turn on and just have the flames of the fire with logs it’s brilliant and has two heat settings that are perfect!
Ordered product at 1pm and it was delivered same day at 15:30 by a polite and friendly courier. Does not get any better than that!
Very neat and well made and the flame effect is excellent. If possible it might have been better to have the controls at the front of the fire rather than the back as it will be fitted inside the fireplace opening.
It’s a nice looking little stove. I’ve got a larger optymist in the main living room, which is fabulous, but I wanted a smaller one for the other room. There don’t seem to be any micro optymist stoves, so I settled for the optiflame.
Came very quickly, no assembly required. No remote, but I wasn’t expecting one. According to the booklet, lamps cannot be replaced. The door does not open, and the switches are on the back of the unit, near the top.
It does look very realistic. Not as good as optymist, but nearly.
It fits into the old fireplace nicely.
The smaller living room leads on to the kitchen and dining room, so can’t really be shut up as you have to walk through it. To have the flame effect on gives a warmer feel to the house, and you can hang Christmas stockings up without burning the house down.
I will always prefer coal fires, but as coal wont be on sale from next Feb, and as wood burners cause cancer and pollution and wood will become very very expensive once coal is banned, I decided to go electric – gas boilers also about to be phased out and all.
Even if I run the heat, these are cheaper than coal to run. They look good, and are the best alternative to real fires there are, at the moment.
It arrived already put together and ready to go, the optiflame is brilliant, so realistic, an excellent fire from Dimplex, I have its big brother in the lounge. I don’t use the heat source only the flame for aesthetic. Well made, solid, very pleased.
To heat a small room for a short time it works well.
This little fire fits neatly into the recess in my fireplace. The flame effect looks lovely. I didn’t realise the heat output is less than my previous larger fire of this type, but this doesn’t really matter to me as I bought more with style and appearance in mind! And I’m delighted with my purchase, it’s just what I wanted. As others have said, I disliked the Dimplex logo stuck onto the front of the appliance, I thought it completely spoilt the look of it, but I was able to very carefully peel it off without any damage to the black finish.
This fire is tiny, and in some locations it would have worked, but not a main room. My fault for not reading dimensions. I would have kept it for a small room but it was damaged. They clearly sent me someone’s return as the box was all taped and bashed.
This was an ideal size micro stove for a small fireplace and the flame effect is very good.
This little stove fits perfectly in our fireplace. Was going to have a real fire reinstated but decided not to burn tree logs after reading about European deforestation. This stove is clean and efficient and looks great. Bit of smell when using the heater but hoping this will go off. Often use just the log flame function without heater. Dropped one star as it was expensive compared to other similar stoves.
The heat output is good and the flame effect lovely, ideal for a small room and makes it feel very cosy
I am by these comments requesting Amazon to attach the correct manual for this heater.
For the avoidance of doubt you cannot change the LED bulbs.
Many people will buy this fan heater for the very pleasing flame effect. I am therefore hoping that the diodes last many years. Otherwise you will end up with a dull fan heater. Amazon should remove the incorrect manual as it misleads potential customers. My electric stove received today came with the correct manual a bit late but I will keep the heater to see how it performs over the coming months.
We purchased this after realising a gas stove was not an option and we’re really happy with this alternative. Looks cool and the flame only effect is a really nice touch. Very happy 🙂
The cable is quite long.
Lovely little fire
Looks so nice in my new fireplace
Studied lots of models and was very satisfied with this Dimplex. It was more expensive than others but it’s a solid cabinet, with very good flame effect, looks good. The heat output is good and the cable length adequate.
Purchased this Dimplex electric micro stove as an additional source of heat in sitting room, after spending 11 days without heating and hot water due to a boiler failure. It is slightly small, but fits into my fireplace perfectly. It looks good, gives a great flame effect, and the heat output is very good too. Very happy with my purchase, and would recommend.
This is a super fire for a small room. If you need to heat a middle to large sized room best to purchase a larger model.
I don’t buy this for its heat output, I wanted the flame effect and a supplement to my heating
I had a query regarding this item and had lots of great advice from people, in particular the manufacturer, great to know that they monitor the questions, well done all round Dimplex
Love our heater – warms up our summerhouseand gives a lovely atmosphere
We use in our conservatory and has been ideal in recent very cold weather to top up heating- the flame effect also gives great focal point and psychologically makes you feel warmer. Very well made compact design also.
This item is really great. It is small enough to move with ease, but produces plenty of heat. I particularly like the fact I can have the flame effect on without heat if I want. It also looks good and can be placed where I want it. Definitely recommend
Does the job, fits perfectly into the small space in our fireplace. Doesn’t get too hot and has a nice fire effect.
Only problem was it started to get very loud when just on the flame effect – to the extent that I contacted the manufacturer and they swapped out the unit.
There’s still a small amount of background noise but not obtrusive
Seems sturdy/good quality. Natural flame look.
As expected not for heating a room more for ambiance which was the intended purpose.
Satisfied with purchase
Very small, but ideal for a small or medium size room. Gives out good heat. Very stylish.. Impressed for a small fire. Would recommend.
Purchased to fit a small fire place which is does perfectly , the flame effect is very real and the heater settings are good ,although a bit noisy but overall very happy with the fire.
