Tango Optiflame Electric Stove, Matte Black Free Standing Stove Fire with Coal Fuel Bed, LED Flame Effect, Adjustable 2kW Fan Heater, Thermostat and Remote Control Cottage
⭐ Très bien noté
- Heats a small to medium room quickly with 1 kW and 2 kW settings
- Very easy setup: fully assembled, just plug in and go
- Flame effect looks convincing enough for a cosy atmosphere
The Dimplex Tango Optiflame is basically a straightforward fan heater dressed up as a small traditional stove, and it leans into that role pretty well.
It heats quickly, the 1 kW and 2 kW settings are genuinely useful, and the flame effect is convincing enough that people often assume it’s a real fire at first glance. Setup is stupidly simple: take it out of the box, plug it in, and you’re done. For renters or anyone who can’t install a real stove, that alone is a big plus.It’s not perfect. The build has some cheap touches, especially the plastic handles and the big shiny logo. The remote is very basic, and there’s no way to tweak the flame height or style. If you’re expecting something heavy and premium, you might feel a bit underwhelmed when you get close and start poking it. But in daily use, it does its job quietly and reliably: it warms the room and makes it feel cosy without any ash, smoke, or hassle.I’d recommend this to people who want a simple, plug-in “fake stove” for a small to medium room, especially if they’re replacing a real stove they no longer want to maintain. It’s also good for older users who just want instant heat without lifting logs or dealing with chimneys. If you’re very picky about materials or want loads of advanced controls, you might be better off spending more on a higher-end model or going for a completely different style of heater. For most everyday use though, it’s a pretty solid, no-drama option.
