Heater output, per the listing

The heat the listing states, next to 5,118 BTU and a 1,000 sq ft coverage claim. 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

60 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.

1,500 W / 5,118 BTU, up to 1,000 sq ft claimed. Supplemental heat for the room you sit in: it takes the edge off a cold evening while the furnace stays turned down. The 1,000 sq ft figure is the seller's; real coverage depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling. Our supplemental heat planner puts it in numbers for your room.

Flame without heat. The heater and the flame run separately, so you can have the glow in July without warming the room. The fireplace earns its place all year, not only in January.

Living room or bedroom?

For the living room, 60 inches of fire are wide enough to anchor a big wall. A 1,000 sq ft coverage claim is pitched at a main room, not a box room.

For a bedroom or a study, the flame runs without heat, so it can glow on a warm night too.

On balance it is a living-room centrepiece that can also do a smaller room, not the other way round.

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 the glow all year, heat or no heat

Skip it if…

Your wall can't give it 60 in plus the clearances in the manual
You want to plug in, not call an electrician
You want it to replace your heating: it is supplemental heat for one room
Star ratings come first for you: 4.4/5 is below the 4.6 average of our ranked picks

Price and cost per inch of width

$3,040 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated inch of width costs about $51. 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.

The button opens the exact listing (ASIN B07DR2N9DZ), where today's price, stock and seller apply. Sizes and bundles of the same family often sit at different prices.

A better fit for your room?

Short on wall space? The Dimplex Prism 50" Wall-Mount (7.6/10) is 50 in wide, per its listing.

Want to run it from your phone? The Touchstone Sideline 60" Smart (9.5/10) works with Alexa, per its listing.

More flame colors? The Xbeauty 60" Recessed and Wall Mounted (9.3/10) lists 12.

Our take

The verdict

Our favourite thing about the Dimplex IgniteXL 60" (XLF60) is 60 inches of fire across the wall, closely followed by 1,500 watts of supplemental heat. With 158 buyer reviews behind it, you are not taking a leap in the dark. Honestly, the catch: its 4.4/5 buyer average sits under the 4.6 of our ranked picks. We'd pick it if you are building a feature wall around a big TV; otherwise, put it next to the Dimplex IgniteXL 100" Driftwood Kit 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 1,500 W / 5,118 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

Heater off, flame on: the glow stays on the wall in July without warming the room.

What buyers say

Buyers give it 4.4/5, a strong record, slightly below our ranked picks' 4.6 average. 158 reviews is a fair sample, enough for the average to mean something.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Dimplex IgniteXL 60" (XLF60): check the wiring, because the listing mentions hardwiring, and that means booking a licensed electrician before the install day.

Before you buy

Your wall

60 in wide, per the listing. Measure the cavity or the opening (width, height and the depth the manual asks for) and hold it against the installation drawing of this exact model. Our recessed installation guide has the order.

The outlet

Ask an electrician for a quote before you order, and check whether the unit can also plug in. Our power requirements guide explains the difference.

Heat for your room

1,500 W / 5,118 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Dimplex IgniteXL 60" (XLF60) any good?

We rate it 7.0/10 (good). It is based on 158 buyer reviews averaging 4.4/5 and the specifications stated in the listing.

What size and heater output does the Dimplex IgniteXL 60" (XLF60) state?

Its listing states a 60-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 60" (XLF60) 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 60" (XLF60)?

Its listing states a 60-inch width, a 1,500 W heater and a flame that runs without the heat. 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 60" (XLF60)?

Your wall: 60 in wide, per the listing. Measure the cavity or the opening (width, height and the depth the manual asks for) and hold it against the installation drawing of this exact model. Our recessed installation guide has the order. The outlet: ask an electrician for a quote before you order, and check whether the unit can also plug in. Our power requirements guide explains the difference. Heat for your room: 1,500 W / 5,118 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 60" (XLF60)?
