Pros and cons
Pros
- Flame-only operation allows the visual effect to be used without running the heater.
- Two heat settings provide a choice between 1kW and 2kW output.
- Water-vapour flame effect is a distinct alternative to a conventional LED-only flame display.
Cons
- The water tank requires periodic refilling, and the manufacturer says the Optimyst transducer may need replacement over time.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listed dimensions read 39D x 62W x 660H centimetres, because the height figure appears unusually large relative to the other listed measurements, confirm the intended measurements with the selected listing before checking room fit. The product description also mentions a remote control, but the package contents are not specified here.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Buyers wanting a freestanding electric stove with a water-vapour flame effect and selectable heat.

- Buyers who can accommodate periodic water refilling and occasional Optimyst maintenance.
Less suited to
- Buyers seeking a maintenance-free effect that does not use a refillable water tank.
- Buyers who need a confirmed package inventory or precise dimensions before purchase without further listing confirmation.
