Our take on the Dimplex 36" Revillusion Portrait Built-In Electric Firebox

The Dimplex Revillusion Portrait is a 36-inch built-in electric firebox that gives you a tall, vertical flame view without a chimney or gas line. It uses Dimplex's Revillusion flame technology, which reads as a deeper, more realistic fire than older LED inserts, and it can run flames with or without heat. The heater is rated at 8,800 BTU for rooms up to about 1,000 square feet. At $2,559.99 at Electric Fireplaces Depot as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range; this is a premium built-in unit, not a plug-in space heater.

Cons

Questions and answers

Is the Dimplex Revillusion 36-inch firebox worth the price?
If you want a tall, realistic flame as a permanent built-in feature, it is one of the better-looking electric fireboxes available. If you mainly want cheap supplemental heat, a freestanding electric fireplace costs far less.
Can I use the flames without heat?
Yes. The flame effect runs independently of the heater, so you can have the fire on in summer without warming the room.
How much space does the install need?
The unit is about 36.6 inches wide, 30.3 inches high and 12.07 inches deep, so you need a framed opening slightly larger than that with power nearby. Plan for carpentry, not just a plug-in.
How much heat does it put out?
It is rated at 8,800 BTU, enough for rooms up to roughly 1,000 square feet as supplemental heat. It will not replace a furnace in a cold climate.
Does it need a vent or chimney?
No. It is electric and ventless, which is the main reason people choose it over wood or gas.
When is it cheapest?
The best new price was $2,559.99 at Electric Fireplaces Depot as of November 5, 2026, with two stores listing it new. Fireplace retailers often discount in spring and early fall, so watch the price history before buying.
