Dimplex Ignite XL 50 Electric Fireplace

Four feet of fire that goes where gas and wood can’t—indoors or out. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 0–500 sq ft approx. 400–500 sq ft—a single room • Viewing Area: 48¾” wide fire, edge-to-edge glass. • Fuel: Electric. • Controls: Remote or hidden touch controls with thermostat and an 8-hour timer; app control available. • Fan: Included Who It’s For A linear fire usually means a gas line, venting, and a wall you have to open up—and it stays indoors. But the place your family gathers isn’t always inside; some evenings it’s the covered patio. You need a fire that goes where the gathering is . If you want a wide, modern flame for a living room, a bedroom, or a sheltered outdoor space—without a chimney or a gas line—this belongs on your shortlist. Choose a standard electric linear and it stays inside; the Ignite XL 50 is certified to live outdoors too. What Makes It Special Most electric fireplaces have to stay indoors. This one is certified for outdoor installation in a sheltered spot—a covered patio or an outdoor room—and it’s backed by a five-year warranty indoors, one year outdoors. The Multi-Fire flame effect is Dimplex’s patented LED fire, layered in color so it reads deep instead of flat, with seven presets and a light sensor that adjusts the fire to suit the room. And because it’s electric, you get flame with or without heat —a fire on a July evening, warmth in January. Comfort$aver technology eases the power draw as the room comes up to temperature, so it holds the room steady instead of cycling hot and cold. It builds into the wall for a flush, frameless look, so plan for finish work as part of the job. Possible Downsides • It’s a one-room warmer, not a whole-home heat source; if heat is the whole point, look at a gas unit. • The outdoor warranty is one year versus five indoors, and it needs an overhang sheltering it from direct water. • Acrylic crystals are the only included media; glass, river rock, and log sets are optional add-ons. If you want a wide, modern fire on a wall where gas and wood can’t go—indoors or out—the Ignite XL 50 is the right decision. The room it’s in becomes the room the house lives in. The look is yours to set: an optional trim kit for drywall and tile installs, ember beds in tumbled glass, river rock, black rock, and acrylic crystal, and a choice of beach driftwood, driftwood, or thin split-log sets.
