Name: Dimplex IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit
Brand: Dimplex
SKU: B07NPXWY1B

7.0Good · out of 10Rated from the listing's specs, no buyer reviews yet

On paper, the Dimplex IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit gets the important things right: 100 inches of fire across the wall, 2,500 watts of supplemental heat and a 5-year warranty. It makes most sense for a TV feature wall with a long linear fire; we rate it 7.0/10 from its listing.

Heater output, per the listing

The heat the listing states, next to 8,530 BTU. Plenty to take the chill off the room you sit in; how far it reaches depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling, and our supplemental heat planner turns your room into a rough answer.

What it has going for it

What changes in your evenings

100 in wide, per the listing. A long, linear fire that can carry a whole feature wall. Check in the installation drawing whether the figure is the frame or the viewing area, then hold it against your wall cavity.

2,500 W / 8,530 BTU. Supplemental heat for the room you sit in: it takes the edge off a cold evening while the furnace stays turned down. Real coverage depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling height. Our supplemental heat planner puts it in numbers for your room.

5-year warranty. That is the maker's promise, per the listing. Read what the terms cover on the heater and the flame lights, and keep the receipt with the manual.

Great for you if…

You are building a feature wall around a big TV
You want the chill off one room on cold evenings
You want a stated warranty: 5 years

Skip it if…

You want the flame on its own in summer: the listing we read doesn't say the flame runs without heat
Your wall can't give it 100 in plus the clearances in the manual
You want it to replace your heating: it is supplemental heat for one room
You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

100 in wide
Recessed (in-wall)
Heater: 2,500 W, 8,530 BTU
Plugs into a standard outlet
Hardwire option mentioned

Check the opening, the depth and the outlet against your wall before you order.

Price and cost per inch of width

$4,199.99 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated inch of width costs about $42. 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?

Short on wall space? The Touchstone Sideline 60" Smart (9.5/10) is 60 in wide, per its listing.

Our take

The verdict

On the Dimplex IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit, 100 inches of fire across the wall is what caught our eye, and 2,500 watts of supplemental heat doesn't hurt either. No buyer reviews yet, so the Dimplex IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Dimplex IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit: no flame-only mode in the listing, while most picks here state one. We'd pick the Dimplex IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit if you are building a feature wall around a big TV; otherwise, put it next to the Electactic 21" Insert Log Heater Set 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. The 2,500 W / 8,530 BTU heater takes the chill off the room you sit in.

Day to day

The remote on the sofa arm, and a quick dust of the glass now and then. 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 IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit ships: check your wall, because the 100-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

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

2,500 W / 8,530 BTU stated. 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.

How it compares

How the Dimplex IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit stacks up against the closest alternative, the Electactic 21" Insert Log Heater Set.

Criterion	Dimplex IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit	Electactic 21" Insert Log Heater Set
Our rating	7.0/10	7.1/10
Width	100 in	21 in
Heater	2,500 W / 8,530 BTU	1,500 W
Coverage claim	Not stated	450 sq ft
Flame without heat	Not stated	Stated

Pick the Electactic 21" Insert Log Heater Set if you want our higher-rated option (7.1/10), with a bigger coverage claim (450 sq ft) and a flame-only mode; stay with the Dimplex IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit for a wider unit (100 in) and more stated heat (2,500 W / 8,530 BTU).

Frequently asked questions

Is the Dimplex IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit any good?

We rate it 7.0/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

What size and heater output does the Dimplex IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit state?

Its listing states a 100-inch width 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 IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit need?

The listing we read does not state its supply voltage or heater wattage. 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 IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit?

Its listing states a 100-inch width, a 2,500 W heater and a 5-year warranty. 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 IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit?

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: 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: 2,500 W / 8,530 BTU stated. 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 IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit?

We link to the exact listing on Amazon, where today's price, stock and seller apply. It is an affiliate link, and it has no effect on the rating.
