Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this product for its nice looks at first ...then when i used it ,i couldn't believe how fast and hot this item worked to heat my bedroom 14 x 16 ...I have to get up in the middle of the night and turn it off ...also I use a ceiling fan to circulate the heat as well ...I have 5 people ,5 electric stoves in my home as a main source of heat ..my bill with other electric appliances , tv 's ,washer ,dryer and lights was only $ 115.00 this month ....I have oil heat but keep my regular thermostat on 58 due to over $3.30 a gallon for oil ...This product works better and even saves more money on electric then even those infrared or those Amish heaters that are advertised lately using 12 cents an hour to heat your home ...Beware of those ...I've tried them also .....a lot higher bills then they stated ...Dimplex is the way to go ...its quiet ,efficient,and looks great ..5 stars from me ...=0) Happy Glowing......Customer Review: I'm shocked at how good this is.

My heater arrived today. I plugged it in, turned it on, and noticed how quiet it was. I could hear the fan, but I found it soothing rather than distracting. While the fire doesn't look completely realistic, it's real enough to provide ambience. I only have one real complaint, and that is I wish it came with its own thermostat. My master bedroom heated up very quickly, and it's a rather large room in a new construction apartment. Since I spend a lot of time in my bedroom and hate turning on the central heating to warm a whole apartment, I expect that this will get a lot of use. This model does not have a door in the front that can open, but I don't mind. I checked the sides, back and top after leaving the heater on for a few hours, and they did not warm up appreciably. I would have rated this unit 4 stars, but I haven't owned it long enough to say how good the components are and whether they will last.Customer Review: Very useful and affordable!

Received this unit last week, and I really like it. Does a great job of heating up about half of my 700sq ft apartment. Took a couple hours to noticeably change the temp in the room, but I let it run all night, and it certainly brought the temp up. I was so comfortable with it running this weekend that I actually fell asleep on my couch without a blanket on. Mind you, this is during a Michigan Fall where the night time temps get down to high 30s/low 40s.
I was concerned about it sitting on the carpet, but not after letting it run like it did... the carpet was warm, but no more so that if someone was laying in one spot for a while. On high I would say that the heat that comes out of this unit is basically similar to having 2 hair driers on medium/high (without the noise of course, this heater is practically dead silent).
Customer Review: great lil stove
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this because of the reviews. It came fast and it is just adorable. I have a small cottage type home 1000 sq ft, with high ceilings and the heater in the attic, which does a lousy job getting the warmth down to the floor/living area. It seems like I am paying to heat the roof. It is a newer home and supposedly energy efficient, but sometimes it is warmer outside my home than inside, which I find highly annoying. The little stove does great in our kitchen, living room, dinning room area. It takes the chill off quickly. I did replace the 7 watt bulb with the one mentioned in the first review and it runs great....the flames do give the illusion of real...almost. I would rate it 5 stars if it had a thermostat. It only has lo/hi buttons. Am considering getting the plug in thermostat mentioned also in the first review.Customer Review: Great Ambiance & Kicks Heat Out!!!

I was hesitant to buy this as I always wanted a real, wood stove for my master bedroom. I bought this since it was not too small and not too big for my room. I wanted the "flame view" on those rainy nights and also something to heat up my bedroom. I first plugged it in and I love the fact you can turn on only the "flame" without the heat, great for snuggly nights. Also the 2 seperate heat levels. I set it on high and about 15 min later I could feel the heat coming out from the bottom. I was worried at first about the heat close to the floor and carpet, but I felt the carpet after 1 hr. and it was not as hot as I thought it would be. Great all around heater, very pleased, very sturdy, top does not get hot (I placed photo frames on it" I wish I would have purchased the larger one now! It's worth the money and looks great.
