Dimplex ECR20Tie Indoor White 2000 W Oil-Free Radiator

Easy to install. Digital reading timer not easy to set unless sat down on floor. Now use in manual mode and keep on low all day/night. Had trouble registering for online 3 year warranty as the product has no serial number. I had to call the help desk and was told to use the Series letter (which was A ) as the serial number. In my opinion I can see many customers giving up on the 3 year registration due to difficulty in completing details.

I dont have this heater very long but I am happy with it so far. Controls are simple to operate and it makes such a difference to the temperature in my working kitchen. The mains lead is longer than my last heater which means a lot. No more need for an extension lead.Very satisfied with this Dimplex Heater.

Dimplex ECR20Tie

A brilliant heater. As one other reviewer says, when on full the fins get far too hot to put your hand on even at the bottom.With regard to the criticism that unplugging it to move it to different room loses the timer settings, the Operating Instructions clearly state that once the heater has been on for 72 hours the internal battery is fully charged and will retain the settings when unplugged for up to 6 months.The only minor criticism I do have is that the timer settings are difficult to read in poor light, the LCD display having no backlight. Not helped by the bright red "On" light being positioned just above the timer window.Otherwise thoroughly recommended. It wouldn't be a Which Best Buy if it were no good.

First time dimplex buyer

Bought this particular brand as a family member highly recommended it. I searched around to get the best price and screwfix beat them all.It's lightweight, it's quiet unlike oil filled radiators, options to put a timer on and it heats up quickly. Unfortunately i had a bad experience with the delivery as parcel force tried to deliver it at a different address, so that was stressful but I got it eventually.I also registered my radiator in the dimplex website which secured a three year guarantee.

Great heater. Cheap wheels.

I'm using this heater to heat my workshop. Does a lovely job keeping it warm and is much more efficient that the space heater I had been using. Took about an hour to warm the workshop from 4C to about 16C. Only thing that really disappointed me are the wheels. This is quite an expensive heater and dimplex are supposed to be a quality brand but the wheels it comes with may as well be legs. Even on the smooth leveled floor of the workshop the wheels seem to just drag.

Great little electric heater

I've only had the heater for a few days butI am very happy with my purchase. The unit is compact and easy to move as on castors. It is very efficient - much better than I expected. I still need to test the timer facility and check the electricity consumption, but very happy so far. Collected in store next day.

Mike Collins's review of Dimplex ECR20TIE 2kW Portable Oil Free Column Radiator with 3 Heat Settings and Timer

Pros: Size, style weight, ease of movement and efficient heat production.Cons: Wish the cable connection to the heater was on the opposite side the controls so the cable could be neatly out on the way, But I understand it needs to be connected to the control panel.

Sam's review of Dimplex ECR20TIE 2kW Portable Oil Free Column Radiator with 3 Heat Settings and Timer

Pros: It is lighter than a similar oil-filled radiatorCons: It would be useful if the light would indicate whether the heater is currently heating (ie the thermostat has been triggered), rather than simply showing that the heater is switched on.

This is not a radiator

This is not a radiator, it's a very expensive convection heater. It doesn't replace the oil with something else, it does away with the whole circulating fluid system and substitutes a large element hidden in the fins of a radiator-lookalike. As a result it radiates no heat, and instead sends a column of hot air up to the ceiling. You can sit right next to it and get no benefit from it. The fins are hot at the very top, but remain cool to the touch at the sides. You can buy convection heaters for a third of the price that do the same thing, and are better as they are lower to the ground.In addition, the digital timer loses all its settings if you unplug it to move it to another room, which makes it substantially less useful than expected. It's also really expensive ... MoreThis is not a radiator, it's a very expensive convection heater.

Very efficient portable radiator

I brought this to supplement heating a cold room. Easily programmable and warms up very effectively and does the job. Looks good but not sure on running costs yet but hoping to not need as it gets warmer!!
