Dimplex Revillusion 25" Log Set (RLG25)4.6
$487.99as of Jun 7If realism is the priority, the Dimplex Revillusion RLG25 is the flame to beat. Instead of a flat screen behind the logs, Dimplex projects the fire from inside the resin-cast logs, producing larger, brighter, more random flames that owners say genuinely read as wood-burning. It slots into an existing firebox and adds a 5,118 BTU heater for up to 400 square feet. The price is steep and a few quirks (flames tied to the heater, some screen reflection) keep it from perfect, but nothing else here looks this convincing.
Strengths
- — Revillusion technology projects flames from within the resin-cast logs for the most realistic fire in this roundup
- — Drops into an existing masonry or gas firebox - slide in, plug in, done
- — Glowing LED ember bed and ash mat add depth a flat flame screen cannot match
Watch-outs
- — Among the most expensive options here at around $799
- — Flames cannot run unless the heater is also on, per multiple owner reviews
- — Some users see ambient-light reflection and the outline of the circular projection screen
