Club Optiflame Electric Stove, Black Freestanding Electric Fire with Artificial Logs, LED Flame Effect, 2kW Fan Heater, 1000/2000 Watt Heat Settings and Remote Control

Absolutely beautiful. Great visual flame. Sturdy. Easy to use. Good heat.

Like everything about it. There's a thermostat so you set it and it will go on and off to control the heat. And the flame just carries on. The fan is not very loud it is a fan heater. And I love my telly and it doesn't bother me watching television 😁. It looks quite realistic and I am very happy with the fire. 5 minutes to put together. Unpack place of slate hearth. Put outlet vent on top. Plug it in and turn it on and away you go . The remote you can turn on and off that's all. You cannot change the flame height or the brightness. That is just set in the fire. I love it . It looks like cast iron it is made from some sort of metal . Gives a lot of heat out and it doesn't get hot on top or around it just blows out from the underneath.

This little electric stove does look lovely, ( flame effect is comforting and quite realistic ) and the option of 1kw or 2 kw fan heater is efficient and on both options throws out a lot of heat. Three things are a little annoying…. The cable is only 5’ long despite the description stating the cable was longer (so I had to buy an extension lead ). Although I purchased the Courchevel stove in white, the cable is black ( which, as not many people have black skirting boards but most people have white skirting boards seems a serious oversight. Not much point having a good ‘flame effect’ to make it look like a real wood burning stove and then having a black cable highlighting that the stove is electric. ( So the option was to have the stove rewired with a white cable or to purchase white ‘cable cover’. I did the latter. The final niggle is that the stove has a very obvious Dimplex ( another give away that it’s electric) silver coloured label on the front of the door but the door knob is a rather tacky gold coloured, a white metal knob would, I think, look smarter. Overall I’m pleased with the purchase but pleased, in view of the above gripes, that it was heavily discounted.

We bought this to replace a similar but cheaper fire which we could rarely use because it was so noisy with just the flame effect on. Let's face it, essentially this is an expensive light with the added bonus of a heater. It certainly looks the part with the optiflame effect and even when turned off there is a glowing ember effect on the logs. We can't hear any noise with just the flame on and that is without any other noise in the room. Obviously there is noise when you turn the fan heater on, there's going to be, but even then it is not overly loud and I have had it on at 4am to warm the room when I get up for work rather than put the heating on for the house. It certainly throws out some heat too and with a controllable thermostat it turns itself off when it gets to the desired temperature. The controls are neatly hidden behind the door. It would have been nice to have a control speed for the flames but that option isn't available for this model. Overall it was a great buy.

Stylish and functional, looks good and different to the usual black ones. Used more as a focal point rather than primary heat source but nice heat range when required. Good value for money compared to slternstives

Like how it looks authentic. It's metal rather than MDF like the cheaper ones, so it's a good copy of a real one, yet it's not too heavy and can easily be lifted and carried by two older people. We didn't want the constant maintenance of the more realistic looking Optimyst models, but we're happy with the effect of these realistic logs and clever flames and embers. The only thing I don't like is that, despite having a remote, you cannot alter the heating level. It only operates the light effect. You have to get up and push the buttons behind the door to choose between 1kW and 2kW. As others have said, it's quite noisy but it is only a fan heater after all. I did think being metal, it would become warm like a wood burner, but it doesn't. It's just a fan heater. Summary: I do think it's the best one of it's type. I did extensive research before buying it, and I was delighted by the great price.

I love it so warm and looks great so pleased

Lovely little stove, bought primarily for the flame rather than heat Sits very sweetly in the corner of my living room adding instant warmth to the atmosphere
