Dimplex Ignite XL vs Opti-myst vs Opti-V (How do electric fireplaces work?)

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.

This is one of the best educational videos I’ve seen - so candid, thorough and even a few laughs thrown in. Thank you - entertaining and informative! If I lived in Denver I’d buy my electric fireplace from you, just for making me laugh.

Great, honest reviews. Also, don't ever apologize about a funny story related to the mechanics of how it works. That adds right-sized flavor. This is the 2nd video of yours I've watched... and I'd feel very comfortable purchasing from you (if I didn't live in Florida)!

[kristijuliano]

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

[kellylusson]

Most comprehensive review I've seen - thanks so much for doing this, we have a much clearer picture of what we're looking for.

[hotoneinspai]

Well, you just talked me out of the Opti V... That was my favourite by far 😥

[buzzofftoxicblog]

Learning a lot all look very good 👍 hope we can get them UK

Is it possible to just walk through your show room of fireplaces linear wall mount and let us just look at all the flames? That would help!

[toomanymarys]

On the first one, I said to myself, "that looks more like smoke or vapor than flame." Yup. Vapor. Second looks pretty good though.

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?
