Living room or bedroom?

For the living room, a 1,000 sq ft coverage claim is pitched at a main room, not a box room.

For a bedroom or a study, at 42 in wide it fits a bedroom wall or a study.

On balance it is happiest in a bedroom, a study or a cosy corner.

Great for you if…

You have a narrow wall or a bedroom to warm up

Skip it if…

You want the heater output stated: the listing we read gives no wattage or BTU figure
You want the flame on its own in summer: the listing we read doesn't say the flame runs without heat
You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

What Dimplex promises

The seller states, word for word, in the Dimplex Revillusion 42" Herringbone listing:

The ceramic heater is capable of providing on-demand heat for up to 1,000 square feet.
The herringbone brick interior with natural soot markings add to the realistic look of the firebox.
Use the included 120V plugin cord to install into a standard outlet - or hardwire for an even cleaner look.
The firebox comes with incredibly realistic faux logs that are molded from real wood.

Hold these against the manual of the exact model before you order.

Price and cost per inch of width

$2,779 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated inch of width costs about $66. That puts it in the pricier third of the 117 inserts we have a price for.

Cost per inch is only a rough yardstick: the heater, the flame options and the build count as much as the width.

A better fit for your room?

Want a wider fire for a bigger wall? The Touchstone Sideline 60" Smart (9.5/10) states 60 in.

Want the flame without the heat in summer? The Dimplex Prism 50" Wall-Mount (7.6/10) states a flame-only mode.

More flame colors? The Xbeauty 50" Recessed and Wall Mounted (9.2/10) lists 12.

Our take

The verdict

The Dimplex Revillusion 42" Herringbone is about a 42-inch width, and it doesn't pretend to be more. No buyer reviews yet, so the Dimplex Revillusion 42" Herringbone has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Dimplex Revillusion 42" Herringbone: no heater output in the listing, while most picks here state one. We'd pick it if you have a narrow wall or a bedroom to warm up; otherwise, put it next to the QEIUZON 24" Electric Fireplace Insert first.

Living with it

Delivery day

A big, flat box with glass inside: open it with two people and check the front before the cardboard goes out.

The first evening

Try the flame at a few brightness settings; lower often looks more real at night.

Day to day

A quick dust of the glass now and then, and a look at the manual's cleaning page once a season. Our maintenance guide has the rest.

Summer

Check whether the flame can run without the heater; the listing we read doesn't say so.

The one thing we'd check first

One thing to settle before the Dimplex Revillusion 42" Herringbone ships: check your wall, because the 42-inch figure has to match your opening, and a listing width can mean the frame or just the viewing area.

Before you buy

Your wall

Draw the opening on the wall with painter's tape at the real size, step back, and check it against the installation drawing. Our recessed installation guide lists the clearances to ask about.

The outlet

120 V, per the listing. Pick the outlet before you pick the finish: a free one close by, nothing heavy on the same circuit, and no extension cord. Our power requirements guide lists the questions to ask.

Heat for your room

Treat it as supplemental heat for one room. Our supplemental heat planner turns your square footage into a rough answer.

Delivery and install

Glass-fronted inserts are big, flat boxes: plan two people for the unboxing, and decide early who frames the wall. Our built-in vs wall-mounted guide weighs recessed against wall-mounted.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Dimplex Revillusion 42" Herringbone any good?

We rate it 6.4/10 (fair). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

What size and heater output does the Dimplex Revillusion 42" Herringbone state?

Its listing states a 42-inch width, a 120 V supply and recessed (in-wall) installation. Those are the maker's figures, so check in the installation drawing whether the width means the frame, the firebox or the opening. The listing we read gives no heater figure, so ask the seller before you count on it for warmth.

What power supply does the Dimplex Revillusion 42" Herringbone need?

The listing states 120 V. Read the supply, plug and circuit conditions on the exact listing and in the manual before you order, and never run a heater on an extension cord or a shared power strip. Anything beyond an existing standard outlet, hardwiring or 240 V included, is a job for a licensed electrician.

What do you get with the Dimplex Revillusion 42" Herringbone?

Its listing states a 42-inch width. Those are the seller's figures; for how real the flames look in a living room and how loud the fan runs at night, the buyer reviews are the better guide.

What should I check before ordering the Dimplex Revillusion 42" Herringbone?

Your wall: draw the opening on the wall with painter's tape at the real size, step back, and check it against the installation drawing. Our recessed installation guide lists the clearances to ask about. The outlet: 120 V, per the listing. Pick the outlet before you pick the finish: a free one close by, nothing heavy on the same circuit, and no extension cord. Our power requirements guide lists the questions to ask. Heat for your room: treat it as supplemental heat for one room. Our supplemental heat planner turns your square footage into a rough answer. Delivery and install: glass-fronted inserts are big, flat boxes: plan two people for the unboxing, and decide early who frames the wall. Our built-in vs wall-mounted guide weighs recessed against wall-mounted.

Where can I buy the Dimplex Revillusion 42" Herringbone?
