Dimplex Vital Spark 28 Electric Fireplace

A fire for every evening of the year—heat optional. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 0–500 sq ft • Fuel: Electric; plugs into a standard outlet or hardwires in (plug kit included). • Controls: Remote, hidden touch controls, or the Glen Dimplex Connect app; built-in timer up to 8 hours. • Fan: Included (fan-forced heater). • Sound: Crackling-fire sound effects, on or off at a button. Who It’s For Most fireplaces earn their keep a few months a year and sit dark the rest, and adding a gas unit means a gas line and a real construction project—more than some rooms are worth. You need a fire you can turn on any evening of the year , heat or no heat. If you want flames in the den, the bedroom, or the room the gas line doesn’t reach, the Vital Spark 28 is built for exactly that: skip it and the room stays an ordinary room; choose it and there’s a fire going on an ordinary Tuesday. What Makes It Special The flames don’t need the heater. Run flame-only on a warm night, or add fan-forced heat when it’s cold— flames 365 days a year, with or without heat . Thirteen flame colors, seven media theme colors, and a five-color ember bed under the molded log set let the fire match the mood: low and slow for a quiet evening, full and bright for company . Press a button and a crackling-fire soundtrack plays along with the flames. Run everything—heat, colors, timer—from the couch with the remote or your phone, and let the built-in timer shut it down up to eight hours later, after you’ve gone to bed. Installation is the easy kind: the plug kit is in the box , so it can plug into a standard outlet today or be hardwired for a cleaner build-in. The glass runs edge to edge, so what you see is fire, not frame. Possible Downsides • Heat is fan-forced only —the blower runs whenever the heat is on; there is no fan-free radiant mode. • No power, no fire —like every electric fireplace, flame and heat both stop in an outage. • The warranty is one year , limited, on electrical components. If you want a fire you can enjoy on a July evening as easily as a January one, the Vital Spark 28 is the right decision. The room it’s in becomes the room the house lives in—all year, not just in winter. The look adjusts to the room you already have: thirteen flame colors, seven media theme colors, a five-color ember bed, and three flame speeds and three brightness levels, all over a molded log set.
