yes you can

Really freaking expensive.

They've got so many options and if you buy a log set directly from Dimplex they can cost close $600 to $1100, and that's without a heater. I was looking at the Opti-Myst pro 500 with the water vapor, fire effects and it supposedly has sound effects too that I can't find any evidence of, and it starts at $1500 and goes up from there depending on size.

And that's without a heater..

That's what I would like to know! We have custom built screen doors. I don't know if it would block the airflow too much. Do you have one with a screen?

I read that it is 6 feet long, on the right side when looking at the unit

Hi Chloe - yes, this is with the clear plastic mirage piece. (Note: if you remove the plastic mirage piece, you will not have a flame effect.) You can see how the mirage piece really disappears once inside of the fireplace!

All of the Revillusion models are the same flame effect. The only thing that changes is the size of the firebox and logs. So with respect to that, choose a size that you would be most likely to see in a normal house - like the 36". Also, the Herringbone brick is just a sticker and can look a little fake when you get up close. I had my technician remove the panels and custom paint them black... it looks great that way. Not sure why Dimplex doesn't offer with plain black!

CC Fireplace Nice, thank you!

Thx just bought the Haydn firesurround with revillusion. Thx for the head up about painting the background. And for the crackling fire sound. Put your Amazon Alexa on top of the surround and say alexa play Crackling fire sound..... done

Haha... yes, it's really around the $3000 price point. I've commented before that I think the main market for this model is the commercial market - restaurants and hotel lobbies.

I don't know french - so I cannot speak it in the video - but I can use Google Translate to respond to your questions... feel free to ask.

Could I get you to redo your review in Arabic, please? Or Klingon, if it's not too much to ask.

Hello can you speak south Vietnamese? 🇰🇷 🍣🍤🍜

You're welcome! No, I didn't buy a crackler specifically for this log set... Did you know they also have candles that give off a faint smell of wood burning???! Kinda fun :)

I really love the flame effect of the Revillusion line.

Yes and No - depends on which model you are asking about.. - MultiFire XD, Model PF3033HL - yes you can. They are easily removed. - Revillusion Firebox - No. However, they have a new model (the RBF24) which has a "Weathered Concrete" interior look that is very minimal. I believe Dimplex will be adding this Weathered Concrete option to their other models in the Revillusion line within the next few months. Check out the Dimplex website and search for the RBF24 with "WC" at the end of the model name. The WC is for Weathered Concrete. Hope that helps!

No - unfortunately not. And I know the herringbone look is not for everyone. They are a printed flat photo glued to the inner walls of the firebox. I think you could probably take the unit apart and put black paper in front of them - but you wouldn't be able to remove them... and it would be difficult to paint them. Remember, there's a clear panel right in the middle of this unit - so you'd have to maneuver around that. Check out the new RBF24 - they just came out with it and it has a different interior look - they call it Weathered Concrete. I just got one for our showroom. I'll do a review on it in the next 2 weeks.

Update - you can remove the panels and paint them black. But it's quite difficult to do so! You practically have to disassemble the whole unit.

The Opti Myst is pretty cool however I don't like the idea of moisture and hot halogen bulbs which are energy hogs. And you can hear the water a bit... just my 2 cents!

Got the opti myst. Never again, the thing repeatedly broke down within the first year and there was only one year guarantee. I gave up on the end, gave the thing away. Waste of money. The Opti V is fantastic and much more realistic.

The Revillusion line is definitely my favorite!! Very realistic looking flame. :)

That's great - the mesh screen really helps to make this log set look realistic! It de-emphasizes the tiny bit of reflection on the flame panel. :)

Yes - it has a 5,000 BTU electric heater. Puts out as much heat as a small space heater. Approximately 15 to 30 ­¢ per hour to run (depending on your electricity rates).

You are welcome! That's exactly the reason I posted it... I couldn't find any videos on RUclips showing it either. :)

@@ccfireplace753 It's mind boggling the lack of basic video marketing from some of these fireplace manufacturers!

@@groofop - hahaha so true. It's 2019 - most new products should have a video on RUclips. However, the manufacturer's only post the glitzy advertising videos - not the real stuff. Which is why people go to RUclips for a real review. Let me know if you have any questions about this electric fireplace. I actually have it in my master bedroom currently.

Does it make noise when it’s heating?

@@ccfireplace753 Still happy with it?

You have a few options... If you leave the front glass/ see thru mirror off, it would eliminate the backlight effect on the herringbone bricks. You can see this in my video. Or, you could disconnect the wire that creates that effect... its located on the ceiling. The Herringbone bricks are also located on the ceiling and it looks to me that they could be removed. Just a few screws. Remember, the mirror is showing you what's on the ceiling. The tv screen inside it is just creating the flame and sparks. As for your wiring dilemma - you can order a plug kit from Dimplex and plug it in to an outlet. Or have an electrician hard wire it to an outlet. For building it in, I would just construct a simple framed enclosure with 2x4's attached to the wall and then drywall it. The flame effect on this model is very impressive. You don't be disappointed. I've had it running 24-7 in my shop window since posting the video. Never turned it off! And since no heater, it's only about 3 cents an hour to run!

Afterthought- the reason it doesn't come with a plug is because the actual box around it is unfinished and meant to be built in to your wall - to make it pretty. Since it's going to be built in to a wall, most building codes disallow a plug to be inside a wall... they want you to have access to a plug. But hard wired is allowed to be built in. To get around this, put a plug on the end and then create an access panel so you can get to the plug if need be. This would be allowable.

5,000 BTU heats about 150 square feet. So unless you have an enclosed room of that size or a small living room, I wouldn't rely on the unit solely for heat alone. Probably only feels toasty when you're sitting within 10 ft of it.

The manufacturer says 400 square feet. But they don't say how long it will take to heat an area that size. You have to consider that every room is different - a room with single pane windows, no insulation and a vaulted ceiling is going to be hard to heat. My small master bedroom though - about 200 square feet, with 8 ft ceilings and double paned windows only takes about an hour to heat up. :)

Hi Catherine - I have a few other videos of this log set shown in actual fireplaces... check those out. Here's one: ruclips.net/video/4zjGhCjjN2M/видео.html In my opinion, the plastic "mirage flame panel" really does disappear once it's inside a fireplace. It disappears best in a dark fireplace - so sometimes I recommend painting the inside of the fireplace black first. Another thing that makes it disappear - if your firebox height is around 20" - because then, the arched part of the plastic kind of tucks up inside the top interior of the firebox. Another idea - is installing a full Revillusion FIREBOX (as opposed to just the logs). So you would install it almost like a fireplace insert. (A box going into a box). In the firebox version, the clear plastic mirage flame panel is a rectangle that goes from the floor (between the front and back logs) to the top of the firebox. And you absolutely do NOT see that flame panel... like, AT ALL. If you went this route - keep in mind that the Revillusion fireboxes have a herringbone brick back and sides. So it would change the look of the interior of your firebox. But - it comes with interior lights and an option for flickering lights. And it looks very nice... Downside - a bit more expensive than just logs. And - your last question - could you replace the plastic flame panel on the logs... NOPE. It's not just normal plastic. It's plastic, with a texture and a metallic finish on just the textured area - in fact, I think the metallic part is in between the plastic. Without the texture and metallic finish on the plastic, the flame effect disappears. Hope this helps!

It's a ceramic heater and is extremely quiet :)

@@ccfireplace753 Thanks!!!

The Dimplex Opti-V does NOT have a heater option - however, a workaround is to add a separate electric heater below it - something we have done on occasion. Dimplex did not design the Opti-V with a heater because it would have compromised the very clean edge design - it has an extremely linear viewing area (approximately 30" wide x 9" tall) and if it had a heater - it would have needed a place to push the heat out from - which would have changed that clean edge look.

Hi - I just posted a new video showing the logs inside a fireplace. Check it out!

Приветствую вас - я пытаюсь использовать Google Translator, чтобы ответить на ваш вопрос здесь. Подсветка не выключается. Звук можно отключить очень низко, но не полностью выключить.

@@ccfireplace753 здравствуйте.Как вам качество картинки?Пламя реалистичное?Есть мнение,что картинка кажется плоской.Так ли это?Как он в сравнении с dimplex opti-myst?Какой из них реалистичнее?

Кажется, мне нравится Opti-V лучше Opti-Myst. Я не думаю, что Opti-V выглядит слишком плоским. За экраном телевизора есть деревянный бревно, которое дает ему глубокий вид. Opti-V имеет искры и звук, синхронизированный с видео. Поэтому для меня Opti-V выглядит лучше.

Моя одна критика Opti-V заключается в том, что в яркой комнате это выглядит не так хорошо. Слишком большое отражение от зеркала заставляет журналы исчезать. Но ночью, или с косвенным солнечным светом, он выглядит потрясающе. Я думаю, что лучшее место для Opti-V находится в коммерческом месте, например, в ресторане или в магазине.

@@ccfireplace753 понял вас.Спасибо.Хочу приобрести себе opti-v в квартиру.У нас в городе продают только opti-myst.У меня нет возможности посмотреть opti-v вживую.Поэтому возникает много вопросов.Придется заказывать в интернет магазине.Цена у него конечно большая
