Dimplex Ignite XL 60" Linear Electric Fireplace - XLF60

I was skeptical about an electric fireplace but this one is perfect! It looks good, throws off enough heat to warm my space, easy to install. There are cheaper choices out there but I’m very pleased with this one!

I wanted the most realistic electric modern option available. Our home didn’t have gas. I didn’t want it to look cheesy. I read all reviews and had contractor install so I could see before they tiled. This was a great fireplace. We also used it a lot in two different rooms and it was perfect to warm up a large space. Has a remote which was easy to use. Different visual modes for high flame or low flame. Warm white is what I always used. Other options if you’re into that. Would recommend

Great look - offers heat with a thermostat Works with a remote or works from the digital built in screen Worth the extra price

While the final product seems to be as expected, it was a nightmare from the start. We purchased this fireplace to be used in a custom entertainment center being built. The box arrived and was mangled slightly and we could see the parts inside along with all the broken cheap styrofoam. It didn't appear that the unit was damaged so we moved forward with our project and we were not ready to install yet so it sat in garage waiting. When my husband and the contractor finally got it out of the torn up box and unpackaged the rest of the way, the darn framing was bent (you can see it in the first two pictures). Now I guess we could have sent it back if we had a box that could have been used but nope the cheap cardboard box would not have been reusable. My husband spent a good amount of time over the weekend working to straighten it out using heavy duty clamps so they could install it. It helped for the most part and while it looks nice finished, it is aggravating paying this much for a product and then have to bend it back in shape. Packaging needs to be better! Installation was another matter in and of itself...for this price we shouldn't have to take pieces apart to install stuff or put the product together. It wasn't as easy as the instruction book made it out to be. Not sure if we would recommend this product today after all this frustration. Will see how it works when time to turn it on.

We transitioned from a gas fireplace to this electric fireplace. We LOVE it! Our friends have the same brand in a bit larger size and theirs is great as well. Heat output is perfect and if you just want ambiance an no hear, that is an option too. It's perfect and actually puts out more heat that our prior gas fireplace.

We did a lot of research before deciding the Dimplex Ignite had a superior flame appearance to all the other brands. Since this is in our living room (and our house is relatively small), we wanted it to be visually exceptional.....and it is!! The heat output is adequate. It keeps our living area warm which was our goal. Just don't expect the kind of radiant heat you'd get from a wood/gas fireplace! The boost setting does improve how quickly the area warms up. We hired a contractor to build the structure to insert the fireplace into (and had it hardwired-highly recommend). It was an easy install for him, but we would have struggled with it! While the Dimplex was more than we had originally planned to spend, it was money well spent!!! We love it!

Such a lovely addition to our home.

Love Love Love!!!!

Loved the whole package, price was better than our local fireplace store.

Beautiful got it quick ! Quality is amazing

Bought 74" Dimplex IgniteXL Beautiful fireplace. Looks expensive (as it should) and has a great glow. "fire" box is not too deep so a simple 2x6 framing worked well. That all said, it was very difficult to put in place. The instructions are filled with warnings and then each step seemed to be spread out over several pages. I only needed to install and take out and install again, but eventually it was set. Also, the unit seemed to be bent and damaged as I could not get all the screws into the unit for holding the outer glass. Remote is super easy to use, except the icons do not help. Just memorize what each button does and it works. Second option is to just start pressing buttons until what you want to happen does. Heat is okay. It is quite warm coming out of the unit, but it does not create a cozy environment in the room. Final item here, the unit "growls". I know it is the rotating item in there rubbing against something periodically, but come on. Many thousands of dollars and it should be silent. The blower is quite loud as well. Based on other's reviews, my dented and growling unit seems to be on the better side of the quality curve.

After shopping many fireplaces, we decided to order this one. The fire dancing looks better than the picture.
