Modern Flames Orion® Slim Series - This is one of the only electric fireplaces that competes with the Elite on depth, smart features, and design—but blows it away in flame realism. The Holographic Heliovision® tech gives a multidimensional effect you can’t get with traditional LED systems. It’s ultra-slim and ideal for modern flush installs, just like the Elite.
Dimplex Ignite® XL Series - A better match than the Bold for the Elite buyer. Why? It’s slimmer, frameless, and supports 2x6 wall framing—just like the Elite. For someone looking to upgrade the overall elegance, flame smoothness, and edge-to-edge finish, this is a strong and logical jump.
Touchstone Sideline Infinity® Series - Instead of going outside the brand, this recommendation helps someone go sideways into something more dramatic. The Infinity gives you a 3-sided flame view, same Wi-Fi & Alexa controls, and similar flame/ember customization—but with more architectural wow for open concept spaces.
