Dimplex CS3311 Compact Electric Stove

I read the reviews prior to purchasing this unit and was truely excited to try it out for myself. I put it into our den where we watch the most TV and not only does it look realistic, but it heated up the entire room and we had to turn it down. The technology of the flame makes it look as real as can be expected. I've seen other units that look like the flame is on a mirror behind. This one looks like it is all around the logs. The heat comes from below, so the unit stays cool to the touch.

The price paid is well worth the value you receive. I am going to buy a second unit!

I am so impressed with this electric stove! We needed heat for our sun room so that we can enjoy it year-round. We have a propane stove, but I wanted something safer for my toddler son to be around. After shopping around, I decided on this stove. It is perfect! The design is very nice and sturdy and the fire looks amazingly real! It puts out great heat -- I was able to heat our sun room in about 10 minutes. The design is small, but it works great in our sun room and can be easily put away in the summer. I would definitely recommend this stove to friends. It is a great alternative to gas or wood-burning stoves.

I admit that I was looking for room ethetics rather than actual performance. Well recently our furnice in the apartment building went on the fritz. This little space heater did the job and kept us comfortable in the Living Room for the next couple of days until the repairs were completed. My landlady saw it and gave us some old coal and wood stove tools that we now use as embelishments around the heater.
