Great wood stove alternative! : Dimplex CS3311 Compact Electric Stove
Like other reviewers, I was inspecting an oil-filled electric radiator heater which costs about a third to a half the price of the Cs3311 compact electric Stove but instead bought this item. As others have pointed out, the name on the unit is Not Dimplex but is ElectraLog (not an issue in my view). I am very pleased with the purchase. We have an 11X16 foot room (9 foot ceilings) at the end of a gas forced air furnace run and with an unfinished basement space below. The room can be isolated from the rest of the house by conclusion a set of french doors. It gets cool in the winter and in the past we have had to turn the furnace up to a point where it was very warm in the rest of the house to get this room comfortable. We spend a lot of time in this room where we read, watch Tv and "game".
While we are not in the dead of winter yet, I can say that the heater provides abundance of heat to bring the climatic characteristic up quickly and to a point where it is downright toasty. To get the room to that temperature, it seems to cycle about 50% of the time (the exterior climatic characteristic has been about 40 degrees). As pointed out in other reviews, the unit itself does not get hot like a former wood stove but rather the heat comes out of a lower blower unit which houses the electic heater. The blower remains on even when the electic heating element has cycled to "off". I had no concern about the wood floor climatic characteristic getting too hot in front of the unit.
About the unit...It seems to be built well, the desist looks like a real cast iron wood stove but the unit weighs only about 25 pounds. The flames are very realistic! We have three fireplaces in the house and while this unit does not provide the same ambiance (you don't feel radiant heat arrival from the stove), it is much better than a ceramic or oil-filled heater. For our purpose of heating the room and having a nice finding piece in the room, it is perfect. The heater is 1500 watts and when it kicks in, the lights in the room dim a diminutive (everything is on a particular circuit). Despite this, the plug on the unit or the wall receptacle does not seem to get warm. The fan on the unit makes a low hum which is not very noticeable. There is a knob on the back of the unit which operates as a thermostat or you can purchase one of these thermostat'ed plugs from Amazon Win100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat. Love the on/off remote and like others, wish you could control the climatic characteristic setting from it. Great unit and we may purchase someone else for the upstairs expert bedroom to sit in front of the wood fireplace which gets sparse use.
I will modernize this recite in the middle of winter to commentary on how well it heats when the winter nights go below 20 or 30 degrees and the unit gets much more use. Also, we will be able to get an idea of either or not we are saving money by turning down the thermostat in the rest of the house and heating the room we spend much of our time in. There were some who commented on the reliability of the unit and that, only time will tell. But for now, it gets five stars for looks, realism and functionality. Dimplex compact electric Stove (Cs3311)
Update 1: After using the unit for a month, we love it even more. We ordered a second one for the upstairs bedroom. I have cut back the gas furnace thermostat 2 degrees and use the current unit in the house room where it has kept the room "warm and cozy".
People are wondering how much does this cost to run? You can presume how much once you go to your electric bill and see how much you are being expensed per kilowatt hour (kWh) - on our bill, it is broken into two charges: a delivery and a provide charge...you need to add these two costs together). A kilowatt hour is equal to running a device that uses one thousand watts for one hour. A 100 watt bulb needs to burn for 10 hours to use one kilowatt. The Cs3311 would use 1500 watts (heater and "flame") or 1.5 kilowatts (kW). If the heater was on 100% of the time for 24 hours (which it regularly would not be), it would use 1.5 kW X 24 hours = 36 kilowatt hours (kWh). My electric costs about 18.5 cents ($0.185) per kWh so it would cost me (36 X $0.185) $6.66 to run it 24 hours a day (which is a maximum of $200 per month) If the heating element stayed on constantly. If the heating element cycles 50% of the time (which is what I have noticed but it depends on how high you turn the diminutive climatic characteristic knob up in the back of the unit), then it would cost $4.00 per day (this amount is not half of $6.66 because the unit still uses 300 watts per hour to run the light bulbs, heater fan and internal motor that "produces" the flame even when the heating element is off). Now, we only run the unit when we are in the room (about 5 hours a day) so it should easily cost us about ($4.00 X 5 / 24 ) = $0.83 per day (or about $25 per month).
Now, Dimplex makes this all even easier. They say it costs 3 cents an hour to run the "flame" and 8 cents an hour to run the heater and the flame (assumes heater element is on 50% of the time) for a typical electric rate. My cost to run the heater and the flame is about $0.17 per hour (to run the "flame" alone it is 5.6 cents per hour). Clearly, their electric costs less than mine :-(
So how much does it cost you? You need to know your electric rate then supervene one of the formulas below:
The Most it could cost you per day in dollars = (your electric rate in dollars per kWh) X (1.5) X (24)
Daily cost in dollars with a 50% heater cycle time = (your electric rate in dollars per kWh) X (0.9) X (24)
Typical Hourly cost in dollars with a 50% heater cycle time = (your electric rate in dollars per kWh) X (0.9)
