Heater output, per the listing

The heat the listing states, next to 5,118 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

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.

2,500 W / 5,118 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 60 in plus the clearances in the manual
You want it to replace your heating: it is supplemental heat for one room
You want a long review record: only 26 buyer reviews so far

What Dimplex promises

The seller states, word for word, in the Dimplex IgniteXL 60" Driftwood Kit listing:

Easily install this 1500/2500 Watt and 120/240 Volt unit in your home with hard wiring or with the included plug-in kit, both equipped for remote operation.
Includes 60" Dimplex IgniteXL Series Built-In Fireplace, Plug Kit, Remote Control and Driftwood / River Rock Accessory.
Patented flame technology with color-changing LED lights and multi-function remote control capabilities, easily operates with a 5-year warranty.

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

What the Dimplex IgniteXL 60" Driftwood Kit listing names:

60 in wide
Recessed (in-wall)
Heater: 2,500 W, 5,118 BTU
Plugs into a standard outlet
Hardwire option mentioned
Remote
5-year warranty

What the listing names with it: Remote control, Pebble or driftwood media.

Tick them off on delivery day, before the cardboard goes out.

That is the seller's promise, not ours. Keep the receipt with the manual, and read what the terms say about the heater and the lights.

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

Price and cost per inch of width

$3,333.98 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated inch of width costs about $56. 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 B07NPZJ6KM), 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.

Want the flame without the heat in summer? The Xbeauty 60" Recessed and Wall Mounted (9.3/10) states a flame-only mode.

Our take

The verdict

The Dimplex IgniteXL 60" Driftwood Kit earns its place with a 60-inch width and a 2,500 W heater. Only 26 buyers have rated it so far (4.6/5), so treat the score as an early read. The one thing that bugs us: no flame-only mode in the listing, while most picks here state one. We'd pick it if you are building a feature wall around a big TV; otherwise, put it next to the WEKA 50" Recessed/Wall/Freestanding 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 / 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

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

What buyers say

Buyers give it 4.6/5, an excellent record, right on our ranked picks' 4.6 average. Only 26 reviews so far, and our formula damps averages built on fewer than 50.

The numbers

Buyer rating: 4.6/5
Reviews: 26
Ranked picks' average: 4.6/5

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Dimplex IgniteXL 60" Driftwood Kit: check your wall, because the 60-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 / 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.

How it compares

How the Dimplex IgniteXL 60" Driftwood Kit stacks up against the closest alternative, the WEKA 50" Recessed/Wall/Freestanding.

Criterion	Dimplex IgniteXL 60" Driftwood Kit	WEKA 50" Recessed/Wall/Freestanding
Our rating	4.5/10	5.6/10
Width	60 in	50 in
Heater	2,500 W / 5,118 BTU	1,800 W / 5,120 BTU
Coverage claim	Not stated	430 sq ft
Flame colors	Not stated	15
Buyer reviews	26 · 4.6/5	29 · 4.5/5

Pick the WEKA 50" Recessed/Wall/Freestanding if you want our higher-rated option (5.6/10), with a bigger coverage claim (430 sq ft) and more flame colors (15); stay with the Dimplex IgniteXL 60" Driftwood Kit for a wider unit (60 in) and more stated heat (2,500 W / 5,118 BTU).

Frequently asked questions

Is the Dimplex IgniteXL 60" Driftwood Kit any good?

We rate it 4.5/10 (fair). It is based on 26 buyer reviews averaging 4.6/5 and the specifications stated in the listing.

What size and heater output does the Dimplex IgniteXL 60" Driftwood Kit 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" 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 60" Driftwood Kit?

Its listing states a 60-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 60" 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 / 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" 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.
