Good low cost heater, that can be run at lower or higher settings depending on needs. I use it in a small study during the colder months when working from home alone.
The choice of 3 settings ,so easy to move around and good price
I am very pleased with this product. Had an earlier model for a number of years and it finally broke so had no hesitation it getting this newer model.
love this heater, fast heat up easy to move, great size looks good
Bought to help heat up the lounge in a more cost effective way. It has 3 settings and have used on the lowest setting as well in the bedroom. Good quality, easy to use and heats up the room quickly.
Bit smaller than I expected, good for heating a small room.
It is a great product:
– It’s not too big, but it is powerful, especially on the maximum setting.
– Obviously silent.
– I don’t need to to it, but it can be moved around with ease.
In the beginning it may smell a bit odd and it may make some crackling sounds, but it’s normal. In my case, the smell and the sounds went away after two days or so.
I kept the product.
Heats room really fast not too expensive to run, very pleased!
This is a really compact radiator and heats up quickly.Lightweight and easily moves on castors
Throws out plenty of hear and gets hot fast but unfortunately cools down when switched off very quickly too. Wasn’t expecting that. Only irritating design feature is the lack of a handle or hold grip on one side so difficult to pick up when moving it upstairs.
The cable is also rather short but to be fair this was stated in the pre-purchase blurb. But annoying because you are instructed not to use an extension lead
It heats up quickly and it’s light and easy to move on the wheels. I’m happy with this heater.
I decide to buy it from Dimplex again, because of the reliable quality that I had on last one. Plus I like the Oil free design, and it’s ECO energy, saviing bills, also has the wheels for easy moving.
When I was buying this time, I decided to go for 1.5 KW. Because of my previous 2KW was well too powerful, too hot and a bit heavy. I never needed to use the full power, always only on the low power. So I got smaller KW this time.
This 1.5KW is still powerful. Heats up quickly and keep the room warm and hot constantly. This 1.5KW is also less noisy than my previous old one. It doesn’t really make any noise unless I use the thermostat. When the thermostat is on, it’s just a bit flickering sound on and off sometimes, not too loud.
Really happy with this 1.5KW oil free ECO radiator!!! Definitely worth getting it!!!
Arrived promptly and provides a really good heat.
Only used on manual settings so far, but does have automatic timer options which could be helpful on cold mornings.

Bought as back up for if heating broke – or to warm up room on odd occasion didn’t want to heat whole house
Look good but output not as good as my old heater and expensive to run – especially with recent increases
This product right here, is a life saver if your heater just broke down, or half working. It heats up a room pretty quick, it saves you money on electricity, and its very easy to move or to use. I love it. Money well spent.
Bought to use instead of an expensive storage heater in the lounge. Heats the room really quickly and is lovely and toasty, with thermostatic control. It will hopefully save me money on electricity as it so efficient and it is eco friendly without the oil – very impressed so far!
This little heater is fantastic, we had a cold spot by the front door and this has completely sorted it. It only needs to be on a low setting to heat the area so we’re really pleased with it. Well worth the money.
Easy to set up- attach castors with wing nuts, plug in and you’re good to go! Simple to use with three levels and thermostat control. Keeps my home office warm even on cold days of winter and cheap to run.
After a bit of googling and exploring amazon I settled on this. It arrived promptly. The castors needed to be attached but that is a simple job: the little flynuts can be screwed into place by hand. Though it was at this stage, in turning the heater upside down, that I discovered that the Dimplex only has a ‘carry handle’ (basically a moulded recess) at one end. So, unless I missing something hidden in plain sight, for the description on amazon to put that feature in the plural is misleading. However, it doesn’t weigh too much, so rolling it onehanded to a different position isn’t a problem, but lifting it is awkward. Yet as I said, fortunately, it’s not very heavy.
Setup was reasonably simple. Except…. the LCD display is dire. I had to find a torch to read it – on my hands and knees! Even then it’s difficult to read because of the glare from the little round red light immediately above the display (it’s dulled out in the image on amazon). Not a canny design.
But I’ll forgive all those little niggles, as this heater really does the business. There are three heat settings: 0.6kW 1.4kW and 2kW (would be handy if that info were included in the amazon blurb…). I have mine on the middle heat setting, and even with the ‘stat set quite low it maintains a comfortable temperature in a (pretty well insulated) room say 12ft x 15 ft, plus quite high ceilings. It soon starts blasting out the warmth. None of that half-hearted feeling that you’d get from the old oil-filled models; this gets to go right from the start.
As for noise. Inevitably the metal creaks as it starts to warm up or cool down. Just for a few seconds. And there’s a tiny click from the ‘stat itself in switching on/off. Nothing that would stop me from getting a good night’s sleep!
So, yes, a vital stop-gap and a worthwhile buy.
