Dimplex OFRB7N Eco Chico Mini Radiator, Oil Free Column Heater, Freestanding 700w Electric Heating Unit, Quiet Plug In Lightweight Portable Compact Electric Home Heater with Thermostat – White

I needed an under the desk heater for work as my feet are always cold. I had a fan heater before that and Ben on the lower setting it was as consuming 1220W and it never heat up evenly. It would either burn my shoes or let all heat escape. This one is just above 700W and as it heats more evenly and slowly I have heat all around the underneath of my table. It also stops and starts when it gets warm so it has really halved my electricity bill so it basically it has paid itself off in possibly 2 and a half months! You can see on the graph it has reduced my daily consumption from 7.42KWh to 4.32KWh. Your cost of assuming a KWh is £0.34 will be around 25pence per hour. It creates quite a lot of heat for such a small heater. People say that the power button blows up after a while but I will replace it with a non neon button from CPC so it can last a long time. Very light too. Also no oil so no mess or fire hazard for work! Really happy with purchase.

Great heater for my small office room. Replaced a bigger oil heater than died after a year. Heats up much faster and takes up less space. No chance of an oil leak. Recommended.

This looks like being a good little heater — it's small and pleasing in appearance, warms up quickly, and there's a dial to adjust the heat setting rather than simply on/off or hi/lo. My only disappointment was a small fault which is only cosmetic and does not affect the function — the end casing affixed to the body of the heater, onto which the foot is screwed, is slightly malformed at one end and cannot be made to sit neatly in place. There's a gap. It's not broken, and it was carefully packaged with protective polystyrene inside the box; it must have left the factory like it, I think. We carefully unscrewed the casing and reassembled it but it's just a bit awry and we couldn't fix it. I decided it was a first-world problem, and over the top to require a delivery man to come out all over again to get a replacement; I've positioned it so that side is to the back. But it is a minor irritation, especially as this model is much more expensive than some of similar size — I bought it because I think it's so pretty. I don't know how well it will perform once the cold weather comes, but it certainly functions fine and sits neatly in the space next to my bed. It's really light to pick up and move, which I like, comes with an instruction sheet, and the on/off switch and setting dial are clear and easy to get to.

Fantastic little heater that kicks out plenty of heat while burning only 700 watts. Even better it does not contain oil, despite looking like an oil heater. Highly recommend these units from Dimplex.

Both my mum and myself have had one of these heaters for around 5 years now. I use mine to heat my radiator-less cold hall in the colder winters. She uses hers for extra heat in her front room. For a small little radiator they chuck out a ton of heat and don’t cane the electric bill up. Last week my mums boiler packed up. So I ordered her 2 more of these heaters. She put one in her bedroom, one in the hall and her old one in her front room where it usually goes. They worked great at keeping her rooms warm in the emergency, until the boiler was fixed. I paid postage to get the heaters delivered to her within days but they took double the amount of time to deliver. But today I have received an email from Amazon crediting the postage back to me on my next order with them. So thank you Amazon. As I was a bit disappointed over the postage issue but you have made good in the long run as usual. These little radiators are so good, we don’t mind that the extra ones were not needed for long. They are so handy to have and now my mums new spare ones for emergency will be stored away for when needed. They are a sturdy design. No oil in them to leak out. Thermostat works great, so it turns itself on and off to keep the selected temperature. I’ve only ever had to turn it half way round on the temperature setting. The sturdy wide feet make it very stable. Plus it’s easy to pick up and move.

Fab heater, very effective, quite in operation not oil filled which is great , looks smart and well made.

This is a fabulous heater, I gave it 4 stars simply because it is not designed to be covered. This means I can't 'iron' my clothes using heat to get out the creases like I could with my last radiator. It does also mean I can't position it near anything that could fall on it, so they have to be in safe areas rather than in the exact area I would prefer. Having said that, this is a marvellous heater, light, effective (yes, even with 700 W), attractive, small, unobtrusive, economical - I just love it. In fact, I bought two more, so I now have three. They can be placed on the carpet with no fear of an oil spill. One warms my lobby which used to be freezing, I keep them on all the time on low, but give them a boost for half an hour on high first thing in the morning. The rooms warm quickly. One is in the hall, I don't get mould spotting there any more, and it takes the edge off the cold making all the difference. The third is in the sitting room. I have gas central heating, but it doesn't need to be on much now I have the heaters. I recommend it to anyone though it may suit people who are not too cluttered best, because you do need to find a place for it where there are no overhead shelves and nothing can fall on it to block the surface.

Small, compact sturdy, and gives our just the right amount of heat for my dogs. Very safe for my chihuahuas.

Bonne chauffage pour les petits espaces. Economique.
