Cranfield Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I am looking for some guidance on "real" flame effect electric fires (wall hanging). Its a big problem to find a retail outlet with a decent amount of examples on display. We bought unseen a fire and the effect is produced by fans and bulbs , which is very disappointing. I see LCD and LED mentioned, but only photos of the effect, which is supposed to be the most realistic. Does anyone have personal experience of a make and model ? Unfortunately, gas is not an option.

moondoggy Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Take a look at the Dimplex Opti-Myst range. B&Q sell them. They are the most realistic fire effect heater I have ever seen. We will be buying one ourselves.

JohnfromUK Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I was quite tempted by one - they do look good, but I have read about quite a lot of problems with reliability of the 'flame effect' part, high spares prices, and also condensation as the water vaporised goes into the room. The condensation risk really put me off as my house isn't the dryest at the best of times. Check the various reviews on line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
