Argos is selling the Dimplex ThermaFlex Convector Heater for £79.99, its lowest price, making it £270 cheaper than a Dyson heater currently in the sale. The 2.2kW heater is designed to warm rooms of up to 15 square metres and comes with 20 heat settings and an adjustable thermostat ranging from 16°C to 35°C.
Shoppers have praised the device for its performance, with one saying it “warms up a room of 30 sq. meters within an hour, a smaller room of 15 sq. meters within 10 to 15 minutes (up to 23-24C).” Another called it “powerful and efficient,” while a third said it “throws a lot of warm heat out.”
Flexible design and smart controls
The heater can stand upright as a fan heater or lie flat as a baseboard heater, making it useful for smaller spaces. It also includes a turbo fan mode for quicker heating, an ECO mode, a safety cut-out switch, and a fan-only setting for use during warmer months.
Users can control the heater via its LED display, the remote control, or a smartphone app. A 24-hour timer and seven-day scheduling functions allow it to be programmed around a routine. One reviewer noted the thermostat “works well, switching off (or reducing the power) once the required temperature has been reached,” and added that the mobile app is “easy to set up.”
Comparison with Dyson and other options
The more expensive alternative is the Dyson Hot + Cool Remote Link Pre-heat heater and cooling fan, priced at £349.99, down from £399.99, at Dyson. It is described as the brand’s quietest and most powerful heater and cooling fan, with intelligent controls that let users pre-heat rooms before arriving home.
At Currys, the Logik Ceramic Fan Heater in white is available for £34, offering two heat settings, remote control, and a 24-hour timer. The Dimplex heater has received four positive reviews on Argos’ site so far, with additional feedback on Amazon noting it is “a really nice heater” that can be used upright or laid at skirting board height, though one user found it “a little fiddly to put together.”
