SimpliFire Allusion Slim: a slim electric fireplace that fits a standard wall
The SimpliFire Allusion Slim is a slim linear electric fireplace for your wall. It comes in four widths from 40 to 72 inches. Pick the size on the page. The glass is 12 inches tall. Logs or crystals fill the ember bed below the flames. You choose the flame color and the ember bed color, so the fire can look natural or match your room. It is only about 4 inches deep, so it fits inside a standard 2 by 4 wall, or it hangs on the wall with the bracket in the box.
It needs no gas line and no chimney. Plug it into a wall outlet on its own circuit, or have an electrician hardwire it. It gives 5,000 BTU of heat, enough to take the chill off the room. Run the flames with or without heat. It comes with a remote, and there are buttons on the fireplace itself. In the box you get the log set, clear and black crystals, wall bracket, and remote. Nothing else is needed. Want taller glass? See the SimpliFire Allusion Platinum electric fireplace. The SimpliFire Allusion Slim ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
How thin is the Allusion Slim, and will it fit in a 2×4 wall?
The unit is 4-3/8 inches deep, which the description calls one of the slimmest in the industry. The installation manual covers recessing it into 2×4 framing with at least 1/2 inch of drywall, so it fits a standard interior wall without stealing floor space, and it works in a 2×6 wall too. Mantel clearance above the unit is listed at 5/8 inch minimum.
Can I hang it on the wall instead of recessing it?
Yes. The installation manual says the fireplace ships with its wall mounting bracket attached, so a direct wall mount needs no extra kit; the manual covers anchoring on drywall or masonry. The optional Crestline surround, a painted white shiplap frame for the 50 and 60-inch sizes, dresses a wall-mounted unit. It is not offered on this page’s selector, so contact us to add one.
Does it plug in or need to be hardwired?
Either, as the description says. The installation manual states the fireplace is designed to be hard-wired for 120 V and that a plug-in kit is included for applications that use an outlet. It needs a minimum 15 amp, 120 V circuit; a dedicated circuit is not required but is recommended. The units are tested compatible with AFCI and GFCI breakers.
What media comes with it?
Clear crystals, black crystals and a log set all ship standard, so you can dress the fire bed three ways without buying anything extra. No optional log sets are offered for this model on our page. A timer, thermostat and the multifunction remote are also included, and an LED readout on the unit shows the selected settings.
How much heat does it produce, and where does it vent?
5,000 BTU on every size, delivered through hidden vents so nothing interrupts the front. Heat is adjustable and can be switched off so the flames run alone in warm weather. The remote and the buttons on the fireplace control the thermostat, lighting and on/off. See other slim options in our wall-mounted electric fireplace range.
How customizable is the flame?
The Features tab lists nine flame colors, five brightness settings and 13 ember-bed colors, so the same fireplace can look cool and modern one evening and warm and traditional the next. Choose the 40, 50, 60 or 72-inch width on the Size selector; the viewing area is 12 inches high on all four, from 35-1/2 inches wide on the 40 to 67-1/2 inches on the 72.
