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

On paper, the SimpliFire Allusion Slim 60" gets the important things right: 60 inches of fire across the wall, 1,500 watts of supplemental heat and a choice of 9 flame colors. It makes most sense for a living room built around one big wall; we rate it 7.0/10 from its listing.

Heater output, per the listing

The heat the listing states, next to 5,000 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.

1,500 W / 5,000 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.

9 flame colors, 13 ember-bed colors. Classic orange for winter evenings, something bolder when friends are over, or just the embers glowing behind a movie. How real each setting looks is for your eyes to judge in the photos and videos; the count is the seller's. Our flame effects guide sorts the settings you'll use from the ones you'll forget.

Living room or bedroom?

For the living room, 60 inches of fire are wide enough to anchor a big wall. All those flame colors are made for showing off when friends come round.

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 like to change the mood of the room

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'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

What SimpliFire promises

The seller states, word for word, in the SimpliFire Allusion Slim 60" listing:

Heat Control - Offers up to 5,000 BTUs of heat generated (with or without flames) through hidden vents.
Includes clear and black crystal media, logs, and multifunction remote control.

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

Price and cost per inch of width

$1,739 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated inch of width costs about $29. 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 B0F2BD9CF6), where today's price, stock and seller apply.

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

On the SimpliFire Allusion Slim 60", 60 inches of fire across the wall is what caught our eye, and 1,500 watts of supplemental heat doesn't hurt either. No buyer reviews yet, so this SimpliFire recessed or wall-mounted fireplace has to win you over on paper. The catch with the SimpliFire: no flame-only mode in the listing, while most picks here state one. We'd pick the SimpliFire Allusion Slim 60" 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

Run through the flame colors once, then settle on the one that suits the room. The 1,500 W / 5,000 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

Before you order the SimpliFire Allusion Slim 60": 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

1,500 W / 5,000 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

Frequently asked questions

Is the SimpliFire Allusion Slim 60" 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 SimpliFire Allusion Slim 60" state?

Its listing states a 60-inch width, a 1,500 W heater output 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. Our supplemental heat planner puts 1,500 W in context for your room.

What power supply does the SimpliFire Allusion Slim 60" need?

The listing states 1,500 W heater. 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 SimpliFire Allusion Slim 60"?

Its listing states a 60-inch width, a 1,500 W heater, 9 flame colors and logs and crystals to switch between. 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 SimpliFire Allusion Slim 60"?

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: 1,500 W / 5,000 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 SimpliFire Allusion Slim 60"?
