Dimplex Club Optiflame Electric Stove, Black Freestanding Electric Fire with Artificial Logs, LED Flame Effect, 2kW Fan Heater, 1000/2000 Watt Heat Settings and Remote Control

Stylish and functional, looks good and different to the usual black ones. Used more as a focal point rather than primary heat source but nice heat range when required. Good value for money compared to slternstives

The media could not be loaded. Like everything about it. There's a thermostat so you set it and it will go on and off to control the heat. And the flame just carries on. The fan is not very loud it is a fan heater. And I love my telly and it doesn't bother me watching television 😁. It looks quite realistic and I am very happy with the fire. 5 minutes to put together. Unpack place of slate hearth. Put outlet vent on top. Plug it in and turn it on and away you go . The remote you can turn on and off that's all. You cannot change the flame height or the brightness. That is just set in the fire. I love it . It looks like cast iron it is made from some sort of metal . Gives a lot of heat out and it doesn't get hot on top or around it just blows out from the underneath.

I am pleased with the fire itself Looks good in the inglenook fireplace. Cosy effect. BUT I am disappointed with the remote control. Hence 4 stars instead of 5. I could not open it to insert a battery. The screw just turned and turned and seemed to have no threads. There was no way it would come out in order to release the battery compartment. Also it is very flimsy and I feel it ought to be made more robust. I contacted Dimplex asking for a replacement control but got no reply!

We bought this to replace a similar but cheaper fire which we could rarely use because it was so noisy with just the flame effect on. Let's face it, essentially this is an expensive light with the added bonus of a heater. It certainly looks the part with the optiflame effect and even when turned off there is a glowing ember effect on the logs. We can't hear any noise with just the flame on and that is without any other noise in the room. Obviously there is noise when you turn the fan heater on, there's going to be, but even then it is not overly loud and I have had it on at 4am to warm the room when I get up for work rather than put the heating on for the house. It certainly throws out some heat too and with a controllable thermostat it turns itself off when it gets to the desired temperature. The controls are neatly hidden behind the door. It would have been nice to have a control speed for the flames but that option isn't available for this model.Overall it was a great buy.

Excellent coal effects. Good quality. No noise noticed from log burner effect. Very cosy looking.Only thing missing was full directions only very basic received. Found online.

Love the new fireplace, I think it's good value for money, looks cosy and realistic for the price

This artificial fire is stunning and incredibly powerful, heating up the room in no time. You can choose to turn on one or both heating elements with buttons and adjust high and low with a knob, and when both are on, it quickly warms up my entire living space. The built-in sensor automatically turns it on and off as needed. It features a beautiful finish, high-quality materials, low noise levels, and a sturdy build. A fantastic addition to any living room!

It looks good, very sturdy and realistic because it's metal, any plastic is inside. It adds warmth with just the flame, which is why I bought it as I do miss a real fire. I have no need for the heating element as my central heating is efficient enough, although I expect it will be useful on occasion. I had hesitated to buy it as I was concerned about the weight but it isn't as heavy as expected, certainly no problem for two people. What was a disappointment was the full-on flame. I would have liked an adjustable flame, even a fixed slower flame would be preferable, no fire goes full belt all the time. I can't believe it's not possible to incorporate it into the design, I would have been willing to pay a bit more for it.
