Dimplex Traditional Electric Wood Stove

I own this stove. I also own the Dimplex electric fireplace log insert. Dimplex products are somewhat more expensive than others, but they out-perform them, and the company customer service really stands behind their products (they replaced the remote control box without argument despite it being beyond the 1 year warranty period). This traditional heater looks authentic, the flame function is a beautiful recreation of an actual fire - and the heater can literally drive you out of a 20'X 20' room if you turn it all the way up. As I said, I bought their fireplace insert after my success with this stove. It too has a beautiful visual effect and a capable, dependable heater. If you buy this stove (or any similar makes) you may want to consider doing what I've done: that is to buy four wooden "bun" furniture feet at a hardware store, paint them flat black and use them under the four stove legs. This raises the heater box (on the stove bottom) off the carpet about 2". Raising the stove a little higher givers a better appearance and provides more airflow through the actual heater making it more efficient since it can blow farther from the unit. As a final note I'm looking at the dimplex compact version for my mother in W. New York.
