Perfect for Bedroom
This lovely little heater does a perfect job of heating the bedroom. It is very quiet and heats safely with the help of the thermostat. It also looks very stylish in Matt Bkack. Would definitely recommend!

Great Heater.
I did a lot of research on heaters to warm a small room with minimum electricity draw. With plenty of options the dimplex 1.5kwh non oil column heater came with many positives. Performance is really good and makes our kitchen comfortable with the help of the fan. Would recommend this heater as a suitable performer.

Q: What size room is this 1.5kW Dimplex oil free column heater best suited to?
A: This 1.5kW model is generally best for a small to medium room, roughly around 10 to 15 square metres depending on insulation and ceiling height. The turbo fan helps spread warmth faster, but large open-plan areas may need a higher output heater.
Q: How much electricity does this Dimplex 1.5kW heater typically use?
A: At full power, a 1.5kW heater uses 1.5kWh of electricity for each hour it actively heats. At typical Australian tariffs, that is about 38 to 60 cents per hour, while the thermostat can reduce average use by cycling the heat on and off.
Q: How is this oil free column heater different from a traditional oil-filled column heater?
A: An oil free column heater usually warms up faster and is lighter to move because there is no internal oil that needs time to heat first. The trade-off is that it generally holds less residual heat after switch-off than an oil-filled design.
Q: What does the turbo fan do on this Dimplex column heater?
A: The turbo fan helps push warm air into the room faster than convection alone, so it is useful when taking the chill off quickly. It improves heat distribution, but fan-assisted operation can be a little noisier than passive column heating.
Q: Does the thermostat help reduce running time on this heater?
A: Yes. The thermostat lets the heater cycle on and off to maintain the selected room temperature instead of heating continuously at full output. That can improve comfort and lower average energy use once the room has warmed up.
