The Dimplex Revillusion 20" Log Insert ticks most of the boxes we care about: an infrared quartz heater, a plug-in setup and a 20-inch log set. Think of it for an empty hearth that deserves a fire again: 6.5/10 on what its listing documents.

What it's made for: an empty hearth that deserves a fire again.
The two electric log sets closest to it on our rating, with a dated price.
What it has going for it
Infrared quartz heater. Infrared quartz warms the people and furniture in front of it more than the air around them.
Plugs into a standard outlet. No electrician for the basic setup: plug it into an ordinary household outlet, on its own, without an extension cord or a power strip. Our power requirements guide explains why that matters.
20 in wide. Measure the width and depth of your hearth opening: the log set has to sit inside it with some air around it, and an outlet within cord reach.
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 20 in wide it fits a bedroom wall or a study.
On balance it is happiest in a bedroom, a study or a cosy corner.
The seller states, word for word, in the Dimplex Revillusion 20" Log Insert listing:
With this special technology, the faux logs glow with authentic realism and shine day or night and it feels like you're looking at a real fireplace.
Enjoy lasting service with a 2-year parts and 1-year service limited warranty.
The RLG models can all heat up to 1,000 sq ft and can be used regardless of the flames.
From the comfort of your living room, couch, bed, or chair feel free to adjust the heat and flame settings with the included remote.
Hold these against the manual of the exact model before you order.

Our take
The Dimplex Revillusion 20" Log Insert earns its place with an infrared quartz heater and a plug-in setup. No buyer reviews yet, so this Dimplex electric log set has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Dimplex Revillusion 20" Log Insert: no heater output in the listing, while most picks here state one. We'd pick it if you want to plug it in, not wire it in; otherwise, put it next to the Napoleon Woodland 24 NEFI24H Log Set first.
A small box: unpack, place it, and read the manual's clearance page before you plug in.
Try the flame at a few brightness settings; lower often looks more real at night.
The remote on the sofa arm, and a quick dust of the glass now and then. Our maintenance guide has the rest.
Check whether the flame can run without the heater; the listing we read doesn't say so.
Before you order the Dimplex Revillusion 20" Log Insert: check your hearth, because 20 in of logs has to sit inside your opening, with an outlet within cord reach.
It is 20 in wide. Measure the width and depth of the opening, and check what the manual says about the hearth floor and the damper.
It is a supplemental heater for one room. Our 1,500 W guide explains what that output really covers.
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.
How the Dimplex Revillusion 20" Log Insert stacks up against the closest alternative, the Napoleon Woodland 24 NEFI24H Log Set.
| Criterion | Dimplex Revillusion 20" Log Insert | Napoleon Woodland 24 NEFI24H Log Set |
|---|---|---|
| Our rating | 6.5/10 | 7.0/10 |
| Width | 20 in | 24 in |
| Heater | Not stated | 1,500 W / 5,000 BTU |
| Coverage claim | 1,000 sq ft | 400 sq ft |
| Supply | Plug-in | Not stated |
Pick the Napoleon Woodland 24 NEFI24H Log Set if you want our higher-rated option (7.0/10), with a wider unit (24 in) and more stated heat (1,500 W / 5,000 BTU); stay with the Dimplex Revillusion 20" Log Insert for a bigger coverage claim (1,000 sq ft).
We rate it 6.5/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
Its listing states a 20-inch width. Those are the maker's figures, so tape the width on the floor and check it against your wall and your TV before you order. The listing we read gives no heater figure, so ask the seller before you count on it for warmth.
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.
Its listing states an infrared quartz heater, a plug-in setup and a 20-inch log set. 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.
