Dimplex Freestanding and wall mountable Convector with electronic thermostat Plus 7 day timer, White/Grey, 3 kW

Hadn’t reviewed this heater after buying. Still going strong when last used in November 2024. Gives plenty warmth for the size of room.

Brilliant heater, heats up a room very quickly.

Iv got a 4 by 4 mtr room that I'm in the most. So if we had a summer (2023!!!) i wouldn't need it. I set it at 22c and wait. Half a hr latter im cozy.Slight gripe.In winter i set it at 30c for a hr to get it from lets say 16c to 22c. It clicks in and out more or less silently (much better than a noisy fan heater) but because it swings from on to off, i find id prefer it to stay on permanently till i turn it down to 22c.

Good

The heater works (basically) as described, but be aware, it is not the easiest to program.I bought it to specifically use on Auto mode, to heat the lounge for a couple of hours before getting up.Note1: on power "1", the consumption is 2KW, on power "11" the power is 3KWNote2: if you want a room temp of 20C, set the temperature to at least 24C - otherwise it will Auto-off too soon(maybe due to the thermostat very low near the floor)Note3: In Auto, it works in "Program ON" mode: If you are in 'Manual Off", as soon as you select "Auto", the heater will come on until the next programmed OFF time.If you use 3KW, check the temperature of your wall plug ... it can get very hot. I bought new wall sockets for safety.So Programming:1) See the photo ... you'll be screaming if you try to program this in an uncomfortable position2) You need a torch ... there is no backlight, and the "M","T" etc day symbols are very small3) (Long) Press the PROG button for 3 seconds - to enter Hour/Min/Day initial setting. Press the PROG button to save the setting.4) (Short) Press the PROG button for a short 1/2 second to enter Auto timer program mode. Press PROG to save the setting.5) Press PROG. Press enter to work through all parts: Choose day, then ( P1 on) Hours, Mins, (P1 off) Hours, Mins, Temp. Press PROG to save this setting. Repeat for P2 for that day etc. if wanted. Leave on and off times at 00:00 for any unnecessary auto periods (e.g.P2, P3, P4). Repeat for next day.It took me a long time to work all of this out, and so I never bothered to attempt the "Copy" facility.

Very good quality heater and performance of it is too good. You get to set temperature and time when you start and stop.defineye value for money . Will definitely recommend it.

On the face of it this heater looks great. Functions well and gives off some really decent heat. The built in thermostat amd timer are easy to use although I think the thermostat switches the unit off way before the achived temp.Sadly the power cable and plug gets hot, really hot and it will either melt the power socket (had to replace 2), melt the plug (3 timer plugs I use to turn it on remotely) and also tripped the RCD regularly.I like to say I just had a dodgy unit but I've tried 2 of these now and had the same result both times.Just returned my latest one for a refund.I would look else where these are not save.

I bought one of these to replace the ageing and inefficient convection heaters in my apartment. I initially wanted to determine whether it fitted my circumstances and requirements, and I have to say, I'm impressed.The heat output is more than adequate and very controllable via the in built thermostat, and other functions such as timer and mode are also available.Mine is floor standing at the moment but I plan to mount it on the wall using the supplied brackets.I connected mine to Alexa via a smart socket and now it's voice activated from wherever I am. When I'm at work and ready to finish, I simply tell Alexa, via my phone to turn the "Heating On" and by the time I arrive home the apartment is toasty.I'm that impressed I bought two more.Highly recommended.
