Dimplex Optiflame Stove

If you yearn for the cosy warmth of a real log burner but can’t entertain the thought of clearing out cinders, cleaning the grate, not to mention the soot and dirt, this realistic-looking electric micro stove is for you. Made by Dimplex, world leaders in electric stove technology, you could be forgiven for thinking this model is one of the traditional cast-iron varieties. Instead, it’s made of cast-effect plastic with a sturdy steel core.
