Dimplex Opti-myst electric fireplaces promises to provide a realistic fake flame including smoke via the use of water vapor and reflected light. It’s 100% safe to the touch. In a home where a real or gas fireplace is not an option, these might be worth getting an in-person look at.
There are a variety of Opti-myst models–drop-in cassettes and vertical mount units. There is also the new Stockbridge model that captures the look of a freestanding woodstove.
Dimplex states each unit has an easy-to-fill water tank. Most models either have a heater or the option for a heater. They are also remote controlled.
