I researched many electric fireplaces before noticing that Dimplex offered a surface mounted Surround for 2 of their models.
I may have leaped to soon at this model.as it does not have a thermostat that can be set and automatically shut off as needed as so many others do.
Also, and very important,  the heater cannot be used without keeping the flames and LED light remaining ON.
The result is the flickering flame staying on all night...that's a problem when you sleep best in darkness.
The controls leave a lot to be desired.
If you cannot sleep with lights on, this is not for you.



Pros: Incredible flame simulation.
Cons: The flame and heat controls could be much better thought out.
