Dimplex DXUC2B 2kW Ceramic Fan Heater With Cool Blow, Black

Product Information

The Dimplex Tusk ceramic fan heater provides an additional heat boost in small-medium sized rooms. The ceramic heat element provides a generous constant heat source without being hot enough to pose a safety risk. It is however, overheat safety protected should it ever reach unsafe temperatures. The thermostatic controls ensure that energy is not unecessarily wasted and the neon light indicator helps to avoid the heater being left of when not required.

These can still be bought, but they aren't as popular or widely available as fan or convector heaters. We assess how easily each electric heater can be set up and how easily understandable the controls and settings are. We used any handles to lift the heater and move it around. While some heaters can be used straight out of the box, others have complicated program and timer settings. Frost protection The heater can be set to heat automatically when the temperature drops below 5°C, but you'll need to have it on standby for it to run, so this can limit its usefulness. Portable electric heaters use electricity, which costs 28.62p/kWh under the current energy price cap. Depending on how effective the heater is, they can take anything from 30 minutes to an hour to notably raise the temperature of a medium-sized room, so if you're only planning on using it until the room gets up to temperature, it will likely cost you between 28 and 57p.
