Dimplex Microstove Optiflame Electric Stove

Love it, great little stove with realistic flames and gives off good heat.

This is the second Dimplex electric stove I have bought. The microstove is not as powerful as my larger stove but I bought this size because it fits in in my smallish home. It is easy to move from room to room and I have been impressed with how much heat it throws out for a small stove. It is early days, as Winter has yet to arrive, but overall I am pleased with my purchase. It was good value for money. Easy to set up. Is a nice booster to central heating or just to take the chill off a room. It is an attractive, small fire. There is a degree of noise but I don't have a problem with that. I like having these heaters as back-up in case my central heating fails.

Small, neat heater to fit in an open fireplace. Realistic, quiet and good to look at, even just the flame effect without heat.

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 media could not be loaded. I've wanted one of these for a while but struggled to find one diddy enough to fit in my gap. This fits the bill, and is perfect. The flame effect is really cosy, and the heater is so effective; really warms my lounge. I'd normally have my central heating on by now but this has prevented me from having too. It was a bit more expensive than others I'd seen, but then I needed a more compact one. Plus, it's Dimplex, so a name you can trust. The noise level isn't bad; of course you can hear it but it's doesn't impact the TV or conversation etc. I'd recommend it.A couple of issues initially as the first one I received didn't work, but the replacement process is straight forward. However, the replacement didn't materialise; lost in transit apparently. Anyway, third time lucky and it was worth the wait.

Bought this mainly because of the name and the compact size to fit our small fireplace. Really pleased we did because it is a little marvel and just makes the room extra special. Really can't fault it, and not only does it enhance the room, but it's like having a little friend nearby. Good to look at, very quiet, and puts out a substantial amount of heat when required. Even with just the flame effect, it is a real stress buster to look at, really quite mesmerising and calming. Highly recommended.

Excellant small log effect fire. Neat, effective, looks well worth the money. Xxx

The media could not be loaded. Absolutely brilliant ! So impressed. The flame on the video on Amazon really doesn’t do it justice. It looks so real. I have no idea how they do it so well but so easy to install and great product.
