Dimplex Optimyst 86" Linear Vapor Fireplace OLF86-AM

The Optimyst® Linear is a water vapor electric fireplace that creates ultra-realistic 3D flames and smoke using patented vapor technology and LED lighting. Designed for residential living spaces and feature walls, it offers safe, heat-free flame visuals and is available in widths from 46" to 86".

How The Dimplex Optimyst 86" Compares To Other Fireplace Options

Homeowners evaluating fireplace options for spaces where safety or true flame realism matters most usually face this question: should I get a standard LED flame electric fireplace, a basic water vapor unit, or invest in the Optimyst Linear with its true 3D vapor flame and smoke effect?

Here's the honest comparison:

Why The Dimplex Optimyst 86" Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just an electric fireplace, it's built on patented vapor technology that produces a genuine 3D flame and smoke illusion, a level of realism that standard LED flame fireplaces can't replicate.

The Optimyst 86" specifically addresses the needs of homeowners who want the most convincing flame experience available in an electric fireplace, especially in homes with children or pets where a cool-touch, heat-free flame matters.

True 3D Flame And Smoke, Not Just Light. Patented vapor flame technology and advanced LED lighting work together to imitate true flames and smoke, producing a dimensional, moving fire effect that flat LED panel systems can only approximate.

Built For Safety Without Sacrificing Realism

Because the flames do not generate heat, the glass stays cool to the touch, making it safer around children and pets than heat-producing fireplace options

There are no harmful emissions, making the Optimyst a sustainable, eco-friendly choice for year-round ambiance

An on-demand heater can be turned off entirely, allowing flame-only enjoyment regardless of the season

Engineered For A Complete Sensory Experience

Adjustable spacers allow the flame width and shape to be customized for a unique fire display

An adjustable crackling sound effect adds an additional layer of realism beyond the visual flame

Multicolor flame effects and individual light control allow the display to shift from a traditional amber glow to fully customizable colors

Real Savings

No combustion and no emissions eliminate the venting, chimney, or gas line costs associated with real fireplaces

Connecting to a main water line eliminates the need for manual refills, reducing maintenance over time

Cool-touch glass reduces the safety modifications or barriers often needed around heat-producing fireplaces in homes with children or pets

Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately

The Bottom Line Homeowners who want the most realistic, safest flame experience available in an electric fireplace can't get true 3D flame and smoke realism from a standard LED unit. The Dimplex Optimyst 86" is built with patented vapor technology, cool-touch glass, and a complete sensory experience including sound, so it delivers a genuinely lifelike fire without heat or emissions. For anyone prioritizing both realism and safety in a feature wall fireplace, this is the unit built to deliver both.

• Patented Optimyst® vapor technology produces lifelike 3D flames and smoke without real fire.
• Advanced LED lighting enhances flame depth and realism for a true-to-life effect.
• Zero-clearance firebox with slim 12" depth enables flexible built-in installation.
• Clean, vent-free operation with continuous water supply option ensures reliable performance.
