Product Description

Product Description

With its unique oil free heating technology the Dimplex 1.5kW OFRC15c Oil Free column heater provides more heat faster than a standard oil filled column radiator of the same heat output*. When using a portable heater you want to feel its warmth quickly and the oil free column heater from Dimplex does just that. The absence of oil means that the OFRC15c heats up very quickly indeed. In fact manufacturer laboratory tests show that this economical oil free column heater, provides approx 30% more effective room heat than an equivalent output oil filled column radiator, based on the average room temperature after one hour*. What's more the test data also shows that OFRC15c uses less energy when heating a room from 15 to 25 degrees celsius*. The unique patented fin design provides enhanced heat distrubition making the OFRC15c perfect for almost any room in the house, and because it has no oil there is no risk of leaking; it's light enough to move from room to room; plus it's easier to recycle/dispose of at the end of its useful life. With two heat settings and thermostat the OFRC15c offers complete user control, and the integral cable tidy makes this nifty heater easy to store away when not in use. The OFRC15c has been fully and independently safety tested to stringent BEAB Intertek standards and comes complete with a 3 year manufacturers warranty.

*Tests carried out on 2kW output model.

Oil Free heaters are a new development in Portable heating. Some are styled like traditional oil filled column heaters whilst others are more modern in design. Like their oil filled counterparts outputs vary from 700w to 3kW. The main benefit with oil free radiators is that they warm up very fast, are lighter in weight (yet durable) and responsive to providing heat when you need it in comparison to oil filled products. In terms of energy saving features, look out for thermostats, heat settings and timers. More advanced features include electronic climate control, remote controls, and twin panel elements to increase control over the appliance.

I bought this for an only partly heated, quite cold room for a corner by the back door. The heater makes all the difference. I went to Dimplex as a brand as we have a 15yr old Dimplex electric oil filled panel radiator and this works really well. I thought about buying the version with a built in electrinc timer but decided to go for this cheaper one with and use a timer plug. This combination works well and save a lot of money compared to the inbuilt timer model. The surface doesn't get too hot so I can't see any fire risk if anything fell on or against it. In fact the heater is so good only the lower of the two heat/power settings is required. It seems to heat up quickly and being light and portable can be moved to another room/location if required and can be put away once the winter is over. Highly recommended.

We bought this heater to warm up our bedroom in which we have no heating. We have a manual timer which we have plugged it into and it works fantastically. The room is heated up in less than 10 minutes and it costs very little to run. Deffinitely recommended.

By DaSwede
I bought 2 Dimplex OFRC15c (the model without timer) and 2 of the 2kW model Dimplex OFRC20c from Amazon in November 2010 in anticipation of another cold winter in the UK. And thank God I did. These heaters have worked so well through the December cold gust that both I and my wife quite literally feel that we have a new house. Gone are the days when we walked around fully dressed to keep warm during the cold months.

The smaller heaters have been warming our two smaller bedrooms (12-14 square metres, normal ceiling height) whereas one of the larger heaters has been in our living room (20 square metres, 3.5 metre ceiling) and the other one has been warming the large bedroom (18 square metres, normal ceiling). We have no additonal insulation in the house and the sash windows (some deity's curse on mankind...) are drafty.

During the period we've had the heaters, we've never had to operate any of them on the full power setting. We consistently use power setting I (of II) and the thermostats are typically set halfway between min and max. Each room has been comfortable enough for me to walk around in shorts and T-shirt despite sub zero temperatures outside.

With respect to power consumption I have not noticed any adverse change compared to previous years. That said, our previous heating arrangement for said rooms was an inverter airconditioning system so I'm probably comparing with the worst heating system ever from an energy standpoint.

Long story short, I am very happy with my purchase and would thoroughly recommend both the 15c and the 20c to anyone with a need for portable heating. With hindsight I could probably have bought only the 15c model for all four rooms. The 20c is a real powerhouse and unless it gets seriously cold, I can not see myself coming close to it's full capacity.

background heat
This is a neat little heater which can safely be left on to prevent freezing pipes in severe cold. We use it at night when the main heating is off, in our loft room.
