Dimplex XLE050 500W Slimline Storage Heater
Dimplex XLE represents the new non-high heat retention standard for storage heating, raising the bar over conventional storage heaters.
XLE storage heaters offer dynamic storage calculation, adjusting the amount of energy that is stored to meet the user’s requirements without wastage. As a result, a greater amount of electricity can be saved with off-peak energy.
Users now have greater control over their heating with the built-in timer, allowing heating times and temperatures to be defined. Heat leakage, a common trait of conventional storage heaters, has also been greatly reduced allowing the room to be at a comfortable temperature in the morning and still have enough stored energy to heat on a night.
The XLE is a modern replacement for older storage heaters with a clean look and reliable performance.
Why Choose the XLE Slimline Storage Heater?
• Harness off-peak electricity tariffs for low running costs
• High-density cells dynamically store and use energy within a slimline design
• Fan assisted to quickly, quietly and more effectively distribute heat
• Delivers variable, programmable room temperatures with three seven-day timer profiles
• Complies with Lot 20 of ERP Directive

This Dimplex heater requires dual power feeds for normal and night electricity, whereas the Dimplex heater it replaced only required a single night tariff feed. Had to fit an additional normal supply fused socket. Was not aware of this when purchasing.
Customer service experience
Heater Shop provided the best price for the specific Dimplex heater we purchased with free delivery. Placing the order online was all straight forward, and we received a follow up call confirming delivery date. The problem we encountered was the delivery lorry was apparently too big to get into our village, so we ended up having to arrange a van and collect it from the haulier's depot 50 miles away. Never experienced issues with such deliveries before. Not ideal.

It is a lovely heater and looks lovely in situation. It has some interesting modes as well. You can set it to holiday mode.I know...
The heater is lovely
I really like the heater. I do live on a second floor flat, so it is worth being aware that a storage heater weighs around 10 stone. It can be carried in parts. I had no idea storage heaters were as heavy. Definitely worth it though.
It is great to hear you like the new heater. Thank you for submitting an informative 4 star review.

So far so good work really well and I’m really happy with them. I am sure from what I’ve experienced so far that they will be great for warming my house in the winter. Although we have had some really cold weather since putting them in and the heat from them was great. I have had storage heaters for years as I have no gas and so far these are the best I’ve ever had.
Would use this company again good service. Courier service was fantastic.
Very happy with their service, the reason for not giving 5 stars was because they gave me an estimated date and said they would keep me informed all the way. It came on the estimated date which was great but I had no warning. Luckily I was at home so all was well.
Thank you for your positive feedback. We appreciate your business with us.
I am sorry to hear you were not updated regarding your delivery however it is good it was delivered on the estimated date and you are happy with the product.

Works as expected, silent and easily programmed.
Great heater good service
Good communication and prompt delivery.
However delivery to a domestic address by a 32 tonne articulated truck was a bit of a mistake.
Especially as there was no lifting equipment on the truck.
I was advised that the truck would have a tail lift, but it sadly didn't.
Fortunately I had a lifting platform, and neighbours.
I'm assuming this was all due to Covid restrictions, so I'm not that concerned

I made my purchase with you because the heater was described as a storage heater and appeared to be the same as the one it has replaced. It is not at all the same.
I would describe it as a room heater that can release its heat, fairly quickly, according to the setting. As it has a fan, it does not store the heat for very long.
PS I have heated my house very happily, with storage heaters for over 25 years. I don't get heat at the times I want, from the one I bought from The Heater Shop.
I buy my electricity at the cheap night rate and benefit from convection heat during the expensive day time.
If I had talked to someone about the heater I would have been better informed and may have chosen a more suitable model.
see above
I am very happy with the supply and delivery of my new heater.
After it had been fitted I realised that I should have had a lot more information about the way the heater worked, before I bought it.
I assumed, stupidly, that as it was described as a storage heater it would work like the one it replaced.
The new heater has a fan that wafts the heat into the room. I don't need that because the heater is very cool by mid-day.
Convection is good enough for me, the heat in my old heaters is given out slowly all day. My old storage heaters are switched on by EOn, when the rate changes from high to low.
The room setting for the heater you supplied, set at the factory, is too low and the instruction in the handbook are unclear. I haven't had courage to try to change the temperature from 21 to 24 yet.
I will consider buying any new heaters I need from The Heater Shop but I will require far more information about how they work before any new purchase.
Thank you for your feedback.
We have a dedicated technical sales team that have in depth knowledge about our radiators. We are available to call on 01473 276686 and would be very happy to help with any future heaters to ensure that you get the right heater for the job.

Good price and fast delivery
Customer service experience
The sales team were really helpful and provided some good advice. The price was very competitive and the item dispatched quickly.
The new Dimplex heater is an excellent replacement for our old night storage heater which has lasted us many years but finally given up the ghost.
As e live in a narrow and steep lane their chosen method of dispatch is by using a large lorry and I had to have the item delivered to a friendly builders merchant as their lorry could not deliver to anywhere but main A roads.
A sprinter type delivery van would have been an ideal solution!
Thank you for the great feedback. With any speciality orders I would advise calling our office to discuss where we are very happy to assist where possible.
