Whats inside an Electric Fireplace? (Dimplex ignite xl vs amazon fireplace) 

Glad to help!

that would be a useful video

just like older cars, need a degree to change spark plugs nowadays.... Used to be if a motor went out, you could pull and reinstall a new motor in a matter of hours. For the heating element sure but sometimes simple is just better. Thx for the video

Glad to help. Thanks for watching!

@@embersliving Hows does the Napoleon Alluravisions compare? They are cheaper in price, would be awesome to see what it looks like internally especially compared to the higher end ones like you showed

Thanks, will do!

Yeah pretty simple actually . A lot of the newer ones are using televisions

Thanks!

choose which ever you like!

Thanks for the info!

Hi Dimplex Ignite XL is still one of our best electric fireplaces. Both are good, but the ignite is probably better. IF you have any questions please call us we have both in stock.

Thanks for the advice

Which XL model?

the new Dimplex Ignite Bold is going to be nice and tall

a $400 TV that is playing a fireplace video and a small ceramic heater somewhere else in the room

thanks

Dimplex is our 2021 electric fireplace champ. It also heats too.

We will see what we can do. It’s tough cause there is t a lot of choices

@@embersliving thank you! Let me know your highest rated peninsula when you get the data together please!

Thank you

true, I do think the flames look better on the nicer units though

but the profit margin on one is much MUCH better. it's not rocket science, it's called salesmanship. Making minior differences sound so much better when in fact all electric fire places are expensive to heat with and are for looks only.

I'm with you. While this guy points out differences I fail to see how they warrant such a huge jump in price. Lots of empty salesman talk, but objectively not much to go on.

@@denjhill I agree. It's all about marketing. The look between the "old technology " and new technology , I have to be honest, is not that much different.. actually it looks just as good. The price difference doesn't justify the cost.To justify the cost I have to take apart the whole thing to see what I paid for.

@@highsiderider We recently decided on a Touchstone Sideline. This guy never talks about them, I suspect because he doesn't sell them. Lower price and we are completely satisfied. I'd recommend to anyone to check them out. Got it through Amazon and it was here in 3 days!

thanks for the feedback

yes, and I think it will be discontinued

I am unsure

true

No you cannot add a non-reflective glass or mesh on the Ignite XL. Most linear fireplaces will not come with a mesh screen in the electric line.

@@mightymousebq Thank you. I just have 2 more questions on this model. My contractor installed and while my unit is about 47 inches to center off the floor to see over a couch, I easily see when crouching or sitting on the sofa a metal strip with screws holding in the back reflective panel and it is slightly lower on the left than right (not straight across). 1. Should I see this piece of metal at all even if looking up at the fireplace, or if so, can it be painted black with fire retardant black paint? It looks very unfinished this way. 2. On the outside glass there were two black one inch clips with protruding zip-tie-like (well, more like the things you tie around your bread bag if that) that I think are to cover the metal clips that the outer glass fits into to screw down. Are they for that, and won't they melt? I don't know how they would stay securely on anyway, unless you're supposed to wrap the plastic protruding pieces around it? I never could get the front glass to sit into the left side of the screw down bracket piece (it kept hitting on the top right and when finally jiggered it into place it never fell back all the way into the left bracket so only have it secured with the one screw on the right). I noticed a smudge on the inside so need to take it off anyway, maybe I can get it to sit correctly on third try. Ugh.

I am not sure, seems like plastic

Nice!

haha thanks

We use electricians for electric fireplaces

@@embersliving can I have my electrician install it without hassle after purchasing from you website ?

I did it myself, not hard. You only need an electrician if you install an extra PowerPoint.

I know its crazy! All of them are different though. Now a lot of them are inlcuding TV's

Not sure

crazy how that works!

It sure is

haha

@@embersliving ?

Exactly. We proved it correct
