Dimplex TDS8515TC Celeste Electric Stove, Glossy Cream

Very nice “cast iron” looking wood stove. Solid metal, though not as heavy as real cast iron. The fire is the superior realistic effect that Dimplex is known for. The heater is ceramic rather than wire elements, so it doesn’t visibly glow. My only complaint is that the very bright LED indicator lights detract from the illusion of a real fire. Some black duct tape over the lights fixed that. You don’t really need the lights - just cycle through the 3 modes (fire only/fire+fan/fire+fan+heat) to your desired setting. All-in-all, very happy with this electric stove.

Nice looking, solid build, color matches picture well -- but does not emit much if any heat.

Solidly made exterior, with realistic simulated flame and with flickering LED's in the "embers." Admittedly, I don't use mine often, but it still works after 2-3 years. I liked mine so much that I bought one for my parents at Christmas. You can use it without heat or with 2 different heat settings. I only wish that it had a setting for producing a crackling sound...

Bought mine Oct 15, 2012, still working, looks like new, really beautiful, has a built in air purifier. Sad to see they aren't made in Canada, seems like quality has gone down hill. Also bought a Dimplex Bronze Lincoln at the same time. It stopped working, accidentally banged it moving it to the attic, quess that's all it took, working again. Bought another one, big mistake, clearly no quality control any longer, reordered 3 times, either broke or heater didnt come on. So my love affair with Dimplex is pretty much over.

We purchased this unit to help us heat a medium/large space in our 80 year old that isn't as well insulated or heated as the rest of the house. With the house thermostat set to 67 degrees, that room is 62 in the morning when we wake up and it's in the low 30s at night. So we got this heater...Pros:-nice looking-heats the room rather well...about 2 degrees per hour (not fast, but it's not a big unit, but then will hold it there pretty well)Cons-thermostat in the back so a little hard to reach-can't set a particular temperature, have to let the room get comfortable and then dial down until you hear a "click"-thermostat seems rather sensitive (slightly further turning = room gets too cold/too warm)-no timer to allow it to turn on automatically in the AM-3-stage "on" settings where heat is the last stage...can't have JUST heat, must have fire as well. Air filter/blower WILL be on at all times if you want heat (cycle goes: fire on --> fire + blower on --> fire + blower + heater on)All in all satisfied, but I wish it had a little more control over the temperature and I wish you could set it to have JUST heat on so it came on/off with thermostat.

The Dimplex Celeste Stove is well made and a much better value than the cheaper stoves that are available.The "fire" in the stove is realistic - especially the glowing embers. To a casual glance it looks like a real fire (although with careful examination the "flames" are not as realistic). The cabinet is very sturdy and gives a well-built feel. The cream color is nice and the finish is durable.Note that the stove can use a lot of electricity - 15 amps when the fire, air filter, and heater are all working. If you have it plugged into a 15 amp circuit any additional load (a lamp, tv, etc.) on the circuit will trip the circuit breaker. Ideally it should have a dedicated circuit for its exclusive use.

Cute heater. Goes great with my shabby chic decor. Fast delivery with no damage. No assembly required. Flame looks pretty realistic for a faux fire place. Nice creamy ivory color. Only thing I'm not thrilled about is the little Suns on the side and the wired little face smack dab in the front. Also, like other reviews said you will need black tape to cover up the red light in the front. I didn't really buy it for the actual heat but it warms my bedroom up ok. But all in all great little heater.

It worked for fewer than five minutes before the heater stopped working. Dimplex sent us a replacement heater, and we got it working again, but now the flame effect makes a rattling noise after it has been on for more than 7-10 minutes. It is a beautiful heater, but the build-quality and reliability leave a lit to be desired.

Love this fireplace. Very sturdy. Very real looking flames. Throws heat. Can be easily moved from room to room. Highly recommend it for appearance and functionality.

Pour le prix que j'ai payer je suis pas contente la chaleur que je pensais avoir avec le foyer très négatif

I love it!!!!!

It is very pretty in my bedroom.
