Dimplex DXSTG25 Studio G 2.5 kW Ceramic Tower Heater, Portable Electric Freestanding Ceramic Fan Heater, Motorised Oscillation, Floor Standing with Timer & Remote Control, for Home or Office – Black

I bought this fan after trying a similar Delonghi model. The issues with the Delonghi model were that it had an auto tip over shut off system that kept turning off the unit even though it was still perfectly upright. This was more common on the oscillation.This unit arrived yesterday and it is very very similar to the delonghi in terms of size, however this feels a little more study and the bass being made of a glass or ceramic disk is much heavier and stylish. It is easy to put together with just the base attached to the main unit with a small plastic nut. The unit has high/low setting and you can put the preferred temperature to reach. It will run until it hits this temperature then auto shut off. It will turn on when the temperature drops again.The unit is relatively quiet compared to other similar units and much quieter than the smaller units. The heat output is sufficient to heat a decent sized room to a comfortable level (it is -1 outside as I write this review).The unit is controllable on a small disk at the top or via remote control. Much like the Delonghi the remote control will only operate when the fan is facing you which means you have to wait for it to oscillate towards you before you can shut it off.Overall I am very pleased with this fan in as much as it works very well as a heater and is relatively quiet. My only quibble is that it cannot be used as a cool air blower like many other units. This would have really made this an excellent heater.

We have been looking for over a year for a stylish, reasonably quiet and efficient heater and this certainly fits the bill. For the price and compared to normal floor fan heaters this is a cracking heater and highly recommended.ProsGood build quality and finish. Only small comment is that there is a little play in the base unit but this is not a problem.Stylish. A modern slim-line black and silver heater.Quieter than most. Not so much that it is quieter but it hums as opposed the higher pitched noise that most heaters make. I would say it is acceptably noisy rather than quiet and is fine if you are watching TV with the heater a few feet away.Effective. Using the oscillation mode the heat is spread throughout the room and it soon warms up.Remote operation. The remote control is simple to use and is very useful.Functions. Two heating levels, timer, thermostatic control.ConsThermometer over reads by 1 to 2 degrees; probably because it is integrated into the heater. Just take this into account when you set the thermostat.

This Dimplex Ceramic Tower heater is ultra-easy to put together (I didn't need a single 12 year old). Ultra-easy to use. Remote control is foolproof (and being a fool that's very handy). It's an ultra-efficient fan heater. Will heat smaller to medium sized rooms up very quickly, larger rooms take a little more time but this slim tower will meet the challenge. It has two power settings (1.5 and 2.5 Kw), the lower setting will maintain the room temperature and is energy efficient, too. I used it a lot over a 2 - 3 week period, it added only about 1 KwH to my electricity usage.Only minor niggles: 1) fan's a bit noisy (but that's probably a feature of it being a fan) 2) thermostat may not show the room's actual ambient temperature. I was using my heater to heat my lounge, due to no central heating, however the lounge is also where the central heating thermostat is. I found the heater showed a far lower temperature consistently than the CH. When the heater showed 18 centigrade the CH showed 23 - 24 c. When the former showed 21 c. the CH was up at 28 - 30 c. Uncomfortably warm. This may be due to where the fan heater's thermostat is placed relative to the floor, but I don't know.But, this differential being allowed for it's a great, great buy, and real value for money at £80. If you've recently spent £350 plus on a Dyson tower heater eat your heart out (a friend has and this Dimplex is more than equal to the task and £270 less).Would recommend in a heartbeat to people who need emergency heating, or just want an occasional supplement. Despite the minor niggles, I have to give it 5 stars because I do LOVE it.

We originally seen this heater in a hotel and liked it so much we decided to order one. It was easy to put the base together and set up. The instructions are simple, the only thing the instructions do not tell you that when the heater hits a temperature it switches off and then will switch back on when the temperature drops. We thought it was broken at first but on reading some peoples reviews we tested it out and it worked. We use it in our lounge and it heats up very quickly and you do not need it on a very high temperature either. We are thinking of getting another for our kitchen for the winter as it gets so cold in there. Worth investing in one for the price.

The product is very stylish and looks great in living room,It heats the room (12x12) in a reasonable time as would any other electrical fan heater.There are a few downfalls which i really don't like:-The transformer makes a very large humming noise if the fan is not turned off at the plug socket which loses the whole point in having a remote.I find this extremely irritating.-The unit does not blow room air like any other fan as in it only has a heat function and no option to to turn off the heater element which is extremely suprising considering price and how simple it would have been to add this function.
