About this product
When you need serious heat in a space that sees hard work and the odd knock, the Dimplex 3kW Rugged Fan Heater steps up without complaint. This sturdy portable heater delivers 3000 watts of powerful fan heating straight to workshops, garages or sheds where softer models wouldn't last a season, wrapped in a protective plastic outer with a robust steel fascia that takes bumps in its stride.
Choose between 2 heat settings for the warmth you need, or switch to cool blow mode when summer comes and you want air moving through a stuffy workspace. The thermostat keeps temperature steady without fiddling, while the safety tilt switch cuts heat instantly if knocked over. An internal dust filter protects heating elements from grit, overheat protection offers peace of mind, and cool-touch carry handles let you move it without waiting for it to cool. At 2.3kg and fully assembled, it's ready to plug in with a 1.5m cord, with frost protection guarding when temperatures drop.

Great heater!
I bought 1 heater and went on to buy 2nd heater as it was great for my gym small to moderate gym space. Safe and durable!

Just as described
Its function as a heater is as I would expect.. I bought it because it appeared rugged and is meant for a workshop where this is an important factor.. Only time will tell if it lives up to appearances . The safety button on the base is an excellent idea,

A great fab=n heater for the garage
I got this heater recently for when working on my bikes in the garage - and wish I'd bought it years ago! Very useful tilt switch turns it off if it gets knocked over. The 2 level heater switch means the garage heats up quickly and then you can turn it down

Rugged heater
This is a well made rugged heater which is perfect for my garage protecting products that must be kept above freezing point. I have no hesitation recommending it to others.

Big fan of this fan heater
Bought to heat up garden office during a recent cold spell. Does a great job , quick + has a thermostat and auto switch off if tipped over.

It's a fan
I'm a fan of this fan! When you turn it on it heats up. How cool is that? Well actually that's not technically cool because it does heat up. But it can blow cool as well. So in essence it blows hot and cold.

Great performance for heating up my shed when very cold and good and rugged.

Thanks for using Q&A
Hello James. This heater is not designed to work with a plug timer and must be connected to normal mains only. Thank you for using Argos Q&A.
Please see the snippet from instruction manual -
Risk of fire – Do not use this appliance
connected through an extension lead or any external
switching device such as a plug in timer or remote
control plug in adaptor. All heating appliances draw
high current through the mains supply and any
weakness in the design, connections or components
in these devices can easily result in overheating of
the connection points resulting in melting, distortion
and even the risk of fire.
Hi,
I can confirm that the 3kW Rugged Fan Heater cannot be plugged into an extension lead.
Thank you for using Q&A
Good afternoon FED, Thank you for your question. Whilst the product has a large heat output we would be unable to estimate if it is able to adequately heat the required area space without further inspection of the structure. Thank you for using Argos Q&A.
Hi Sooooooo,
This has not been designed for this purpose and therefore we are unable to recommend that it is used in this way.
Thank you for using Q&A.

Hi John,
