Review: Great Looking Fire Fantastic Flame Effect - I have a fireplace in my living room that never got used and I did put a red light in it to give it a bit of a glow at night. When I saw this Dimplex fire with the real flame effect I was more than impressed. After a bit of research and reading reviews on the Real flame effect I decided that it would look a lot better than a red light. I bought this model specifically for its size as it fits perfectly in front of the real fireplace. It’s very well made, no plastic or cheap feeling bits on it and generally looks good. Assembly was very easy, it comes with 6 orange LED bulbs a Transducer which makes the flame effect and was already fitted a water container and the log block that sits on top. I only had to fit the bulbs which are a simple push fit, fill the water tank put it in place and then sit the log block on top which fits very well with a thin line of foam around the edge to prevent scratches. When the water tank is fitted it will immediately start to drain into a sump underneath and this takes about half the tank so it’s wise to refill the tank after first fit. The controls including the main on/off button a nicely hidden away ander a flap just under the door, there’s also a remote control so for first use you have to put the mains power on with the switch under the flap. The smoke effect has three different intensity levels, there’s also higher the level the more water is used but even on the highest level it will last all night. There’s is also a 2000w fan heater underneath the fire but to be honest I’ve only switched it on once to make sure it was working as I never intended to use the fire to heat the room. When the flame effect is first switched on it takes around 30 seconds to start to work and to be honest I was amazed at how real the effect is in combination with the lights. I’ve had a couple of friends ask if it was a real fire which pleased me. It looks great in front of the fireplace and gives off a nice glow at night. Overall it’s expensive but worth every penny for that Real Fire Look. Review: Impressed - We bought this in 2019, so I thought I'd give it a long term review now we've had it for 7 years. Never had any problems with it, it's worked perfectly from day 1. The flame/smoke effect really is quite convincing, at first glance you'd think it was real. The full water bottle lasts for about 8 hours of continual usage. We've never used the fan heater because electric fan heaters are VERY expensive to run and we have alternative heating. We just bought it for it's decorative appeal and it's cozy warm look on a cold winters day/night. Its difficult to pick a fault with it, but if i had to the best I could do is to say the fire effect is a bit too bright. ## Features - WATER VAPOUR TECHNOLOGY Optimyst creates magical, lifelike flames using LED light and ultra-fine cold water mist; Simply fill the water bottle and enjoy up to 8 hours of captivating ambience - A TIMELESS CLASSIC: The Gosford freestanding electric fire blends traditional cast-iron stove styling with a matt black finish; The detailed log bed and rising flame effect deliver a beautifully authentic fire experience - EASY TO INSTALL: Freestanding and fuss-free, the Gosford can be placed in a living room fireplace, alcove, bedroom or office; Just plug in to instantly add warmth and character to any space - ENERGY EFFICIENT FLAME EFFECT: The flame-only mode uses low-wattage LED lighting to create a cosy atmosphere for just pennies an hour; Beautiful, affordable, and cost effective for everyday use - FAN HEATER WARMTH: Choose 1000W or 2000W heat settings to take the chill out of your room; Great for top-up warmth and efficiently managing energy use alongside your main heating - PRODUCT CARE: Optimyst fires need occasional maintenance to keep the flame effect working beautifully; The transducer is key to the magic and may need replacing over time; Be sure to use a genuine Dimplex transducer, available online ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00YREEYRU | | Assembly Instructions Description | Plug in the power cord to a grounded outlet. | | Best Sellers Rank | 385,925 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 360 in Electrical Fireplaces | | Brand | Dimplex | | Brand Name | Dimplex | | Chamber Depth | 30 Centimetres | | Colour | Black | | Country Of Origin | Ireland | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 590 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Finish Type | Painted | | Finish type | Painted | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05011139052933 | | Heat Output | 2 Kilowatts | | Heating Element | electric | | Included Components | Remote Control | | Installation Type | Built-In, Freestanding | | Installation type | Built-In, Freestanding | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 30D x 48W x 62H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Gosford Optimyst Electric Stove | | Item Weight | 17 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Glen Dimplex | | Manufacturer Part Number | X-052933 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year. | | Material | Alloy Steel , Glass, Plastic | | Material Type | Alloy Steel, Glass, Plastic | | Model Name | Gosford Optimyst | | Model Number | X-052933 | | Orientation | Freestanding | | Power Consumption | 2.2 Kilowatts | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Power source | Corded Electric | | Product dimensions | 30D x 48W x 62H centimetres | | Room Type | Kitchen, Living Room | | Size | H:62cm x W48cm x D30cm | | Special Features | Flame Effect | | Specific Uses For Product | Indoor | | Style Name | Single | | Ventilation Type | Vent Free | | Warranty Type | 1 year standard - option for a further 1 year for free with registration. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Dimplex - **Colour:** Black - **Finish type:** Painted - **Heat output:** 2 Kilowatts - **Installation type:** Built-In, Freestanding - **Material:** Alloy Steel, Glass, Plastic - **Power source:** Corded Electric - **Product dimensions:** 30D x 48W x 62H centimetres - **Special feature:** Flame Effect - **Style:** Single ## Images ![Dimplex Gosford Optimyst Water Vapour Electric Stove Fire, 2kW - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MSIvNsxcL.jpg) ![Dimplex Gosford Optimyst Water Vapour Electric Stove Fire, 2kW - Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81cxMZbRFWL.jpg) ![Dimplex Gosford Optimyst Water Vapour Electric Stove Fire, 2kW - Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CnERABCPL.jpg) ![Dimplex Gosford Optimyst Water Vapour Electric Stove Fire, 2kW - Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-t1e2XTfL.jpg) ![Dimplex Gosford Optimyst Water Vapour Electric Stove Fire, 2kW - Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PwZPajANL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Looking Fire Fantastic Flame Effect *by C***Y on 25 April 2026* I have a fireplace in my living room that never got used and I did put a red light in it to give it a bit of a glow at night.

I hadn't seen a Dimplex Opti-Myst stove until recently, and when I did then I was sold. I bought a Dimplex Gosford GS 020 here from the Amazon Warehouse. It was a "used like new" offer with a significant discount from the new price. Delivery was very fast, just two days and it appeared at my door. Setting up was a little more complicated than expected. It isn't quite plug and go as advertised. First unpack carefully and make sure everything is intact and present. Place the stove in a suitable position allowing sufficient ventilation. Dimplex provide excellent instructions with diagrams which I found very helpful. After about 30 minutes I was done, the reservoir, water tank, bulbs and optimist transducer all fitted. Switch on and the flame effect is simply amazing and very convincing. I did however have a few issues to solve. As said previously, I bought a used item, and whilst overall it was in very good condition and "like new" as described it did have a minor problem with the stove door which at first would not close correctly. The membrane behind the glass was not seated correctly but I soon put it in the correct position. I also noticed the plastic log tray provided was broken. Actually only the base was in one piece with the logs that sit on top in pieces. It spoilt the desired flame effect:( but one short friendly phone call to Dimplex Customer Care, and a replacement log tray was sent just two days later. Very impressive service and a big thank you to Michelle. The instructions says to use filtered water only, also to clean the internals every two weeks which as others have commented is bit of a faff. I live in a hard water area so I have decided to use a mixture of filtered with distilled water to keep the solution as "soft" possible. For reasons I am not aware apparently pure distilled water should not be used? So anyway, I am very pleased with this stove. It looks great, it has the most convincing realistic flame effect I have ever seen and the 1 or 2 Kw electric fan heating it provides whilst won't be used very often (we have gas fired central heating) it will come in handy on those few very cold winter days we get. I forgot to mention the remote control which simple to use, smart and effective. One button controls the heating, one the flame effect and between them is a third button that switches the stove in stand by mode. In my opinion the Opti-Myst range whilst they are expensive are well worth the money . If you seek a simpler option with less faff and maintenance then you might want to look at the less expensive Opti-Flame models. Either way you will be pleased I am sure. Dimplex Opti-Myst Stove, Black EDIT: I have owned my Opti Myst fire for almost one year and everything is still working perfectly indeed nothing has failed. I read a number of negative reviews here complaining about poor longevity of components; replacing the water tank, bulbs, or the transducer on a regular basis. I surmise this is the result of poor maintenance and/or not reading the instructions. You do need to take care of this fire and that can be a faff at times but it's the price we pay for the realistic flame effect. So, don't over tighten the water tank cap. Always use filtered water. Do clean the components every two weeks and never leave the transducer in standing water for an extended period. If the fire will not be used for a while, then drain down the water and leave the transducer dry. There was another negative review commenting that LED bulbs are not fitted. Whilst LED bulbs would indeed use less electricity, It is my understanding that the heat from the Halogen bulbs is required for the flame effect. If you don't want all the maintenance, then consider the cheaper alternatives. Some look very good but none compare with the realism of the Optimyst fires. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dimplex Gosford Optimyst Electric Stove, Black Free Standing Electric Fireplace with 3D Water Vapour Flame Technology, 2kW Adjustable Fan Heater, Thermostat, Artificial Logs and Remote Control - Dimplex Hearth Pad, Slate Effect Resin Hearth Mat, Slate Grey Accessory for Electric Flame Effect Fires, Size: 1.5(H) x38(D) x 80(W) cm - Dimplex Stove Pipe, Matt Black Plastic Flue Pipe, Accessory for Electric Stoves and Fires, Angled with 2 Size Options --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48015823-dimplex-gosford-optimyst-water-vapour-electric-stove-fire-2kw-black](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48015823-dimplex-gosford-optimyst-water-vapour-electric-stove-fire-2kw-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-05*
