Dimplex Revillusion RBF30

Built-in electric firebox using Dimplex's mirror-free flame system, so the flame reads as three-dimensional from an angle rather than only head-on. Includes a resin log set and a fan-forced heater.
★ Best Pick🏆 Best flame effect
The Revillusion line includes several widths and both firebox and insert formats — check the model suffix.
The Revillusion is the one unit here where the premium buys something you can actually see. Removing the mirror from the optical path keeps the flame three-dimensional from off to the side, which matters in any room where the fireplace is not viewed strictly head-on. It heats exactly as well as the $250 units — that is not what you are paying for — and it needs a framed opening.
Pros
- Mirror-free flame holds up from an angle
- Best-finished firebox here
- Convincing resin log set
Cons
- Most expensive by a wide margin
- Requires framing and an outlet in the cavity
- Same 1,500 W heat as the cheapest unit
