Bought this to replace an old gas fire. I was originally dubious as I didnt want an electric fire but this looks stylish, and so far works well. The coal display is lovely to have on without the heat element, very cosy. the fire is also a bit larger than most so covered the original hole in the chimney breast where the gas fire had been vented. Plugs in and is easy to operate. One cautionary note. I bought mine when it was 250 reduced from 300. Checked today and its gone up to 307 !!! You can get the same model at 250 at places like Argos so shop around !!
After having 2 cheaper fires in the last 10 years, when the last one failed I decided to splash out a bit for quality.
The Dimplex Optiflame is perfect, fits flush against the wall with no rear protrusions, i just love the remote control function and the timer which can be set in 1/2 hr increments, I believe it was well worth the 250
I love this fire despite its TV tantrums. The fire is surprisingly life like as I have always had a real coal fire. The multicoloured flame is beautiful and the room is quite kly heated. The thermostat works well and is accurate. I have a Toshibai TV. The hand control turns the heat on and off. Pretty unusual Ehh The fire is easily assembled and control is very simple.

Easy to install as it will fit flush to the fireplace after we have had the old gas fire removed. The flame effect is very nice and looks cosy on a night. Slightly disappointed that I received the brass and black after ordering the chrome effect one but as our old fire was brass it still works well so decided to keep it.
This deluxe model was cheaper than the standard one from Amazon. Lovely flame effect which is adjustable, remote control is easy to use. It’s very quiet, just a whooshing fan sound no rattling. Very happy with my purchase.
Found getting started very difficult. At first I could not get response from the control and didn’t know where to look to see the display – spent a whole evening on this.
Next day sat in a different chair and the whole thing worked perfectly!
You need to know that the display is on the inside of the right panel and if you sit slightly to the right of the fire the message doesn’t get through to the controls! This needs to be mentioned in future INSTRUCTIONS.
One problem still to solve – no effect when trying to change the Top Light illuminating the fuel bed. It seems to be on all the time.
In the current climate we decided to replace the gas fire with an electric one, done my homework and settled on the Dimplex Cheriton delux brass optiflame model. Fitted into the fireplace no problem, looks great and provides excellent heat which fills the room pretty quickly. It comes with a remote control were you can adjust and control the heat or lighting. The lighting can be on itself giving a warm glow to the room. I believe it will cost far less to run than our gas fire, and no costly annual inspection required. Overall delighted with this fire and have no problem recommending this fire.
Our last Dimplex fire lasted us 35years and was made in England. This one is made in china and up to mow is perfect. I would definitely recommend.
Just what I wanted fits in my grate perfectly and looks good.
