The OptiMyst was presented the Vesta award at the the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Expo in Orlando Florida earlier this month. Dimplex North America Limited amazed both show-goers and the Vesta award judges with its ultra-realistic OptiMyst electric fireplace. Not only did it receive the top prize in the hotly contested category of Electric fireplaces, stoves and logs, but also received the prestigious award for Best-in-Show – Hearth Products. The fireplace raises the realism of electric fireplaces to a new level with its advanced technology which is completely new to the fireplace category.
The OptiMyst is the first electric fireplace that combines the appearance of fire and smoke, and displays a true 3-dimensional flame. The life-like glowing logs and shimmering ember bed further enhance this extraordinary realism. Martyn Champ, President of Dimplex North America Limited responded to the wins, “The OptiMyst doesn’t just raise the bar in the electric fireplace category; it changes the game. When people see the OptiMyst for the first time, they just can’t believe that its fire is not real. It’s that convincing. These are our sixth and seventh Vesta awards and we are just delighted to receive them. We have worked diligently to bring the OptiMyst to market and believe it is the benchmark by which all new electric fireplaces will be judged.”
The OptiMyst is available through the NetDirect Merchants family of companies, ElectricFireplacesDirect.com MantelsDirect.com and ElectricFireplacesCanada.ca, exclusive relationship with Dimplex in a limited edition mantel package. Now everyone who attended the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue show knows what we have been so excited over for months.

WHEN WILL YOU HAVE A WALL MOUNT OPTI-MYST FIREPLACE AND WHEN WILL THEY BE IN THE U.S.A.?
Additional Opti-Myst models are in development now. We should see a few new applications for the technology in the Fall 2011 with more to follow in 2012.
Hi Vanessa. I am very interested in an OptiMyst, but would like to see a dehumidifier added before I buy one. The reason is that right now the vapor has nowhere to go, so it either condenses on the inside of the firebox and starts dripping, or runs down the walls and windows. It could also bead up on wood furniture, ruining the finish, or be absorbed by upholstered pieces causing a mold and mildew problem.
I think there is enough room in a large mantel to install a small, low-powered dehumidifier that could also recycle the water back to the tank. For an insert, I would install it in the back of the unit with the intake vent positioned above the flames. That would turn their great idea into an even better one.
I was hoping that Dimplex would build a Cavendish-style unit for the US market. Do you know if they ever will? Thanks
Hello Edith, thanks for your comment! To be honest Dimplex probably has all kinds of plans for the Opti-Myst series but we are not aware of any pending developments at this time. We will be sure to update the blog as soon as any big changes come through. As for the dehumidifier, we have not had any complaints about the build up of moisture from our customers so I wouldn’t be too concerned about any possible build. Thanks for your input!
Dear Edith,
I am sorry you have had high humidity issues in the past.
This is different. It is most likely to cause no more humidity than sharing a cup of coffee or tea with a friend!
Good luck to you.
