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.

I bought this item about Three Years ago We progressed from a wood burning fireplace, to a Gas insert ( really beautiful but expensive to use), "Down" to this unit. I would never have dreamed that THIS solution would be far the best.

Instant heat ( if you want ) , and a SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL, very realistic looking

"flame". After all this time using it I'm still tempted to touch the top to make sure it isn't overheating . It looks that real.

Recently I moved this unit to our Bedroom and put a Dimplex electric fireplace insert in the fireplace ( Dimplex Deluxe 23" insert ~ $300 on Amazon). I like it

very much, but I must admit I still prefer the "old stove" for the absolutely best looking flame. You can't go wrong with Dimplex. They are the Gold Standard for realistic electric fires.

We bought this stove four years ago for a cottage porch. It is absolutely beautiful! Wish I had another for my house. One year we brought it home for a while while the cottage was closed for the winter. So we LOVE IT!!!

Honest reviews on Dimplex TDS8515TB Celeste Electric Stove, Glossy Black

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.

Great looking stove, however, I find that there is no much heat thrown out. Over time the room does get heated but not very fast. My last stove had two fan speeds; which helped move the heated air much quicker. THis unit does not have that feature and I miss it.

Well constructed, heavy cast iron, very realistic fire and logs!
