Do you want to buy a  fan heater that is cheap to buy but not cheaply made, reliable and will still be working in 5 years?

We have had this fan heater at the top of our best buy list for over 10 years and here is why.

Dimplex still makes the same no-frills functional, sturdy and reliable flat fan heater its made for the past 30+ years.

Dimplex is the worlds leading manufacturer of heating appliances and has been making heaters since 1973. All their heaters are BEAB approved and, more importantly, Dimplex heaters have stood the test of time.

If this heater breaks down within 3 years Dimplex will replace or repair it.

What you get:-
The Dimplex DXFF fan heaters are available in either 2KW or 3KW models both  have 2 easy to use rotary controls on top (one for the 2 heat and cool air settings, the other for the thermostatic control), frost protection, a mains light indicator to show when they are  switched on a safety cut out to prevent overheating and an integrated carrying handle.

These are all the necessary features you need without any bells and whistles.

And what you don't get:-
Dimplex doesn't make pie the sky promises about whisper quiet running or a thermostat accurate to 0.5 of a degree,  you won't get a choice of colours (white only), smart controls, remote handsets or wireless connectivity.

If it does go wrong you don't get stuck with hassle because in addition to your rights under the consumer act 2015 these heaters are backed by a company that believes in its product enough to give this free extended guarantee:-

"Your product is guaranteed for three years from the date of purchase.
Within this period, we undertake to repair or exchange this product free of charge (subject to availability), within the guarantee period provided it has been operated in accordance with the instructions in the operating manual".

If you fancy one of these heaters both models are available from Amazon with free delivery. You can read more about these and our other recommended best buy fan heaters on the Fan Heater review page on our main site.

Want to get one a little, or a lot cheaper? Dimplex produced some 2kw models with designs aimed at girls in bright pink with a daisy motif.

These were not as popular as Dimplex hoped, so to move stocks the prices are slashed if your OK with bright pink you can save money by buying one instead of the traditional white models.
