These are the three most popular electric fireplaces that dimplex has to offer. The three models are the ignite xl which is the most affordable fireplaces of the three, and also happens to be the best seller. The opti-V Technology fireplace, and lastly the Opti-Myst fireplace. Lets talk about the differences between the models.
Dimplex Ignite XL- This is by far the most popular of the three, and for good reason, the fireplace is using LED Technology and has a two dimensional flame. If I were to give this a knock, I would say its the least realistic in the sense its the most flat, and two dimensional. However the trade off for that has its upsides. The upside is its the most affordable technology, also this technology takes up the least amount of space, so you only need a 2x6 wall to install this fireplace. So it involves the least amount of framing and construction.
Dimplex Opti-V- This guy I would say has the potential to look the most realistic. Thats right I said potential, its just not there yet. I have been to trade shows and I have seen a lot of prototypes that would show me that this could be the best electric fireplace I have ever seen. However sadly non of that has come to market. Its also too expensive and the sizing is limited. So I would say this is my least favorite out of the bunch.
Dimplex Opti-Myst- This is probably the most exciting product of the bunch, with the most potential out of all of the fireplaces. First off the myst technology I would say is the most realistic, and is the only thing that actually generates a 3-d flame. Which is awesome. At first look, its the most realistic fireplace I have ever seen.
Dont forget if your in the Denver metro area visit out showroom today!

*Very easy to set up and use, attractive but be sure you understand the height--it's not tall. The heat is not overwhelming, but steady and pleasant fireplace **fireplace.homes** . It's quiet, too. I like the possibility of easily moving it from room to room in the event we want supplemental heat elsewhere. Definitely a good buy.*
thanks
This bot is roaming around saying the same thing on many of your videos. What in the world?
Oh, it's posting a link to amazon trying to steal your customers. Report it!
This czcams.com/users/postUgkxATHBlMJwipGgVWseuAFKvDQ_5R4_lywo unit was an easy install and turned out amazing. The dimensions were exact! I took a chance and built the wall prior to receiving the unit which arrived sooner than expected and it fit right in the space I constructed. The heat output is perfect for the space we needed and made the room exactly how we envisioned it to turn out. I am happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. Thank you for the awesome product just in time for the holidays.

Im a subscriber who lives in central GA and like many I was lost and overwhelmed, just didn’t know which electric FP was the best fit for me. Because of you I just purchased the Ignite XL to be installed in my home that’s currently under construction. Thanks for all you to to simply the process. Can’t wait to purchase my first gas grill! You’re channel is the best. Thanks Trevor!
thanks so much for watching! Have fun new stuff going up today!
Are you able to let us know how you like it please? Thank you in advance.
I’m nearing the end of construction. The FP is scheduled for installation in two weeks. I’m bursting w/ excitement and will send photos soonest! Thanks again
i didn't realize i needed one of these until i saw this video.. awesome tech going on here.
awesome
Living in FL it is so hard to select a fireplace since we can’t see any…. But you do an amazing job!!! Thank you
You are so welcome!
Thank you. I’ll keep looking. From canada😊
Glad to help!
All I know is I want a fireplace that looks like real flames and you do the best job at explaining it and you have funny stories they're lucky to have you in my opinion
thanks so much
Me encanta la opti-V..y tú, excelente explicaciones, eres un muy buen comunicador ;-)
Thank you for watching
Love your personality! Lol humor with honesty .. best combo!

those are really nice looking. i think they all look nice but i like the 1st one the best
couldn't agree with you more!
Thanks, this is really helpful. I’m hoping to get the optimist here in England.
Of course! Glad we could help. Thanks for watching!
Learning a lot all look very good 👍 hope we can get them UK
thanks
Great help. Thanks
Glad it helped
The trick with the logs in the ceiling and the reflection is a very old magician’s trick called, “Pepper’s Ghost.” It’s most commonly known for its use in the Haunted Mansions in the Disney Parks in the banquet scene when you look down into the dining room and see the transparent ghosts waltzing and eating at the table.
interesting thanks
Nice review 👍
Thanks! 👍
Thanks for the information. I went to a fireplace store because I want to buy locally, but they really didn’t want to “reveal” much information, like even naming the brand. My impression was that they thought I was window shopping to then buy on line. Not my intention at all.
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much 🙏
You're welcome 😊
Thank you! Great video.
Glad it was helpful!
@@embersliving where do I find installation info for Dimplex Ignite XL
Thanks for this awesome video , very usefull and honest .It helped me alot. I am an Opti-Myst guy 🙌
Very nice! Glad we could help. you check out our video on the NEW Opti-myst here : czcams.com/video/UYpDLgZ-kH4/video.html
@@embersliving thx :)
Great information 👍. Uk viewer
Thanks for watching
Hi, as always another great review, thanks from Belgium. However in the video reviewing the Ignite you say that at the end you will give an overview with the lights turned on to show the reflection in the Ignite, but apparently you forgot doing this. So, is this really a big con for this fireplace? When installing this Ignite right under the tv and sitting right in front of it, will we see ourselves sitting in the backpanel? Even in a dark room, there will always be some light due to the television and some mood lightning, or even due to the fireplace itself. Or is this reflection negligible? Thanks.
its from the fireplace itself
Opti-V for me please...In my opinion it is the only one that looks realistic..I noticed the duplicate flame/screen but who's to say they can't make a solid single screen to beat the duplicate look...and add other flames and sounds etc..At the price of the OV it should have been built to spec and slow rolled through R&D untill it was 100% rather than making it feel like a rushed finished product..The Myst is neat but once I saw it was vapor that did it for me.. all I could focus on was the fact that I now knew it was vapor and vapor is not a flame. Neat looking but meh. The last option you gave was great and pretty typically of what I have seen in my search for an insert. I'm ok with the stones, the odd flame pattern and the eye burning throb of the "faux flame".. i just can see it in a no tell motel mounted Infront of a Champagne glass shaped hot tub and vibrating bed... Oh the nightmares.. Just not for me
I could deal with it but
this technology is growing fast. I'm sure in a year or two there will be something youll like!
Can you add a straight glass panel to the front of the opti v? I love this fireplace but the bent angle gives me a head ache to look at.
you probably could do a custom one, but not sure what that would do to the look
Thanks for this video! We just bought a 40" opti-myst 1000 with logs for its authentic and realistic look. We would like to have an off-white stone surround. All of the ones I have seen have a black surround. Will we be able to see the flames if the background isn't black?
Hmm off white might be much. Ive seen fake bricks used in the back, but its usually a dark bg.
Thanks for everything you've done. Called Embers to pre-order the Dimplex Ignite Evolve and she did not have a ship date. When is the Evolve video going to drop? So far I've only seen one from the Canadian fireplace vendor. Thanks!
We are waiting on this as well
@@embersliving Thanks! Placed my pre-order with you. Am stoked about the super modern upgrades and can't wait for the video!
Thanks
Made our decision easier
appreciate the comment thanks for watching!
Your best video
thanks!
Fair and balanced.
👍👍👍👍
thanks so much!
In all your comparison videos, can you please discuss more about the differences in heat output?
sorry. The ignite XL has the best heater on the market for sure
I love the Opti series, however it sounds like the biggest is 60". My TV is a 75" so I would like something that is slightly bigger. Are there any other realistic fireplaces available like the Opti that are longer?
you could do the opti myst cassettes and build your own box, it could be 80"
Just bought the Dimplex Silverton
Probably not in your league moneywise but it fits nicely into my Inglenook fire place.Heres hoping it doesn't disappoint
Nice!
Is there an option whether to turn on or off the mist , and if its off , how is the visual affected ?
Also does it have the exact effect on a see thru version ?
Thank you .
The myst is the flame. So if you turn it off there is no flame
Have you reviewed Simplifire Scion? Also would love to see the Dimplex Ignite bold when you get it?
we have one coming soon, stay tuned. make sure to subscribe!
The optimist shown has the ember bed and log accessory. I can only find the accessory for the pro. Is it also made for the OLF model?
Please call us at (303) 800-5659
Can you use them all 3 from two sides or just the mist as you said about removing the back panel for that
just the mist
Thanks
your welcome
Do you foresee any changes coming to the Ignite XL product line soon? Looking for a linear electric fireplace, recent technological upgrades seems to be for deep profiles only. Curious to know if I should be sitting tight for any updates to the slim (< 6" depth) electric fireplaces coming down the pipeline!
no, they will be having a new 12" deep model, but I honestly was not too impressed with it. The ignite XL is here to stay for awhile
Thanks for the response, greatly appreciated. The Opti-Myst Pro has caught my eye... truly a nice flame... do you foresee any product changes coming to that line? Perhaps a slimmer unit?@@embersliving
On the first one, I said to myself, "that looks more like smoke or vapor than flame." Yup. Vapor. Second looks pretty good though.
haha
Can you let me know the model of the opti-myst shown in this video along with the log set (media) please?
its the GBF1000 PRO and it can be found on our website www.embersliving.com
Can you use the simplex ignite xl as a double sided or see through design ?
no single sided only
Thank you so much. I have limited space, after that review, I am going for the 50"" Ignite, due to the fact that it is slim, I am moving to an apartment, the heat element is not as relevant as the effect. Wall mount and put a slim 55'' TV above it. sorted!
awesome! Let us know, we have them in stock ready to ship!
Oh my gosh! That story is HYSTERICAL!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
haha thanks!
We are remodeling our travel trailer and I am looking for a small size unit fit in the island under my sink do you know of any small units that are somewhat affordable or possibly a manufacturer who might be willing to park with a display model?
not off the top of my head
Spent a fair amount of time researching electric fireplaces (and gas) and was super impressed with the Dimplex Opti-myst. The flames just look so real... I just ordered mine! Really can't wait to see it in person, but apparently it's on backorder ATM :'(
Thanks for sharing! did you buy from us? Cause I think we have inventory
@@embersliving No sorry. Ordered from ElectricFireplacesPlus it was discounted and a 15% off coupon... Though I wish I had gone through you if you have it in stock
and? How did it work out? love it?
@@sergeyivanovish85 Yes! It works great, we use it almost every night and no problems so far. Looks super cool.
great video. Withe Opti-Myst,can you adjust the height or volume of the flame?
Yes you can!
What is the media that is inside the Opti Myst? It looks like it is glowing so I presume it plugs in separately from the electric fireplace itself?
It's all one plug in
Great and knowledgeable video! I'm looking to purchase the Ignite XL 50. Being built into a wall is everything serviceable without tearing apart the wall? My local dealer told me the warranty was only one year. Can you please send me the info regarding the 5 year warranty you mentioned?
should show right on dimplex website. We are running some good Labor Day specials. Yes you service everything from inside the fireplace
@@embersliving I'm from Vermont...so I assume I can't buy from you as the shipping would be high I'm sure, correct?
What are your thoughts on the upcoming dimplex Ignitexl bold? It looks beautiful
its good, but they have taken so long to come out with it that now its gonna get passed up by some new stuff we have coming out
Hi! I wouldn't be able to hook up plumbing. With that set up for the optimyst, how easy or difficult is it to add water? (i.e. take off the glass etc?)
it depends on the media you choose. If you do a log set its very easy, if you use crushed glass, its a little more cumbersome to do
You don't need to hook up plumbing. Just fill a container.
I'm interested in these fireplaces on your channel. How do I buy them and where can I buy them. I need some experience from you. Should I go with electric or gas. Thank you
our website is the best spot. www.embersliving.com
Hi. I finally bought Dimplex ignite xl 74 inch. Now my question is what size to buy the TV to, looks good with the fireplace. Thank you
I would say a 75" or bigger
I like how you’re real of the price 🤗
ok
I want a realistic flame, linear fireplace that puts out heat! Does this exist? Love your videos!
czcams.com/video/FLUgwyQbBMI/video.html
How much humidity is added to the room with the optimyst? Any information on that?
Unfortunately no. There isn’t a specific guideline for that.
What are your thoughts on the Amantii deep electric fireplaces?
they are good, not as good of a flame though. The best Amantii is the new bespoke model
The trade show story was hilarious 🤣 😆 🤣
haha thanks
How close can you install your flat screen TV to the top of the Dimplex Ignite XL? Can you turn on the fire without using the heat?
I would say within 6"
That's my favorite too is there one that comes with table top for a tv?
no unfortunately
Wow.An honest Salesman.Thats Rare
Haha we try here at Embers Living!
Get a big ass stove one with thr 3 glass sides can go anywhere just stick a surround round it and your done
haha
Спасибо тебе, мил-человек, за хороший обзор! From Russia with love :)
Было интересно очень, есть ли тут еще русские )))))
thanks
Finally I found what I was looking for. Can you ship this to Calgary, Alberta?
no
@@embersliving Why? 😢
The more you know 🔥
thanks for watching Senpai!
When he said, “What if you live in Florida?” I was thinking the exact same thing!! I live in Florida. It’s waaaaaaaaay too humid here. We put dehumidifiers in our houses to pull the water out. 🤣
that could be an issue
Your videos are great, but now I'm overwhelmed with choices. Lucky us. I want to spend less than 2k for a 60" with a good front heater feature. I'm willing to be directed to your best choice. Thanks.
The ignite xl has the best Heater by far but it’s a little more then 2k but close. I could probably get you a coupon code for a discount
@@embersliving Hi again. We are ready to make a decision about an electric linear fireplace. While we want aesthetics, we really want an additional heat source for the living room space. It is drafty on the floor. Is this the way to go? Thanks.
Hey what colour paint is the wall looks amazing
I will ask
I want to put an electric fireplace in a spot that is only 32" wide. Would prefer one that is open on 3 sides. Love the look of the Opti-Myst and Opti-V. Is there a solution for me?
yeah you could do an opti myst with three sides open
@@embersliving I wasn't aware that they made one that would fit an area 32" wide. Which model is it? Thanks.
Thought your video was great!
Thanks!
Thanks for the video - this was the one that helped in the decision-making. We're going with the Ignite. If it weren't for the water & humidity, I'd go with the Myst.
Great production. :)
let us know if we can assist with the order!
For Opti-myst you are using in this CZcams, what are the options you are using as far as logs The same with Opti-V, what are the options you are using. I like the look but I do not know the options I need to pick when I go to your web-site to order
for the myst? Its just the standard log set not the drift wood. you can always call us to order too? that may be easier so you get exactly what you want
I don't like those landscape style rectangle fires.
I've had a few electric fires over the years but they were the type with rolling mirrors with a light reflecting off them for the fire effect and they were all noisey things.
Here in Ireland real fireplaces are being removed from houses so I would like to get an electric fire that doesn't making horrible motor or grinding gear noises.
About this video. I was wondering would companies ever use an lcd screen for the fire effect like the second fire. I think using an lcd screen is the right way to go by using a pre recorded video with sound from a real fire and maybe give the option of different types of fire.
So far the only thing we carry is the Dimplex opti v
What is the right distance from the edge of the fireplace to the edge of the TV?
for which model?
Well, you just talked me out of the Opti V... That was my favourite by far 😥
haha so sorry
