This little solid fuel look-alike stove is really cute; spreads a lovely warm glow and gives a focal point into a room, without any of the risks from open flames.
Why Would You Want It
We had the chimneys taken off the house and the fireplaces blocked in with the coming of central heating. However the dining room looked dull, boring, flat and simply uninviting with just a pseudo fireplace.
We found this neat little freestanding stove, priced around £80 at most outlets. Took it straight out the box, plugged it in and instantly there is was glowing and flickering from the 'optiflame' log effect. This flame effect can be run independently from the built in convector heater which has two settings for either 1kW or 2kW heat. Since it only consumes 130 watts to run the flame effect it is economical at the cost of just pennies to ...
Advantages: great for that iullusion of warmth from a real fire Disadvantages: it isnt a real fire
on a visit to my mother recently, i noticed she had a new stove in the fireplace. I had to give it a closer inspection to realise it was actually an electric fire.
Having always wanted a 'real' fire, but not having a chimney in my appartment, i was very impressed with just how realistic the flame effect was on this unit. Of course when you take a close look, you can tell it is not a real cast iron stove, but it certainly gives that real fire feeling to a room, even without the heater element switched on.
I saw one on offer at a local DIY store, and so i bought one for myself based on what i had seen of my mothers.
The constuction is of a plastic coated sheet steel, which does a reasonable job of imitating Black cast iron finish, but it wont maintain its illusion on any close examination. The brass fittings are quite plastic looking ...
Advantages: Hydronic Stove, Thermostat controlled, Optiflame Log Effect, Up To 4Kw Heat Output Disadvantages: None
The Dimplex Hydronic Stove MIR40 is a stylish flame effect fire place. A friend had this fitted in last year and it looks really good. This fireplace is a modern freestanding electric stove with hydronic heat exchanger.
The actual fireplace should be professionally fitted, in my friends case the place he bought it from included free fitting so that was ideal. The good thing about this fireplace is that there's no need to knock out your fireplace to fit this in. This electric fire requires a 13amp socket to plug into when installing it and the heat is provided by a fan heater and hydronic heat exchanger. The maximum heat output (electric fan) high 2Kw and 2Kw hydronic heat exchanger makes a total of 4Kw overall heat output.
Main features:
- Hydronic Stove, uses conventional wet central heating technology combined with electric ...
