Design and usability

Taking design cues from the leading Dimplex Quantum heater, Q-Rad E is sleek, slim and stylish combining good looks with simple controls and it boasts a range of unique, intelligent features which work automatically to help keep you warm for less.
Q-Rad E combines the latest, most advanced technologies to give you maximum control over your heating, allowing you to choose when you want heat and at what temperature using the intuitive heater control. A low thermal mass allows Q-Rad E to heat up quickly and react more responsively to changes in room temperature. This means improved control, comfort and energy saving.
This electronic interface comprises of an LCD display screen and six touch-sensitive buttons: Menu, Back, Advance, Up (arrow), Down (arrow) and Enter, which make an audible 'beep' when pressed. The pitch of the sound will rise and fall in line with the temperature selected and the temperature display is also colour-coded to assist the visually impaired. (Note: audio feedback may be disabled when not required). Q-Rad E features a Child Lock to prevent little hands from tinkering with your settings. Simply press and hold the Back and Enter buttons on the heater control for three seconds. The words 'Child Lock' will appear at the bottom of the screen to tell you that this function is active.
Efficiency
Q-Rad E has a convective element and a radiant element. It uses one or both heat sources automatically to maintain an accurate target room temperature. Q-Rad E calculates the time needed to heat a room, with both the convective and radiant element beginning by operating at full power. As the room approaches the target temperature, Q-Rad E begins to cycle the convective element between full and reduced power until the target temperature is reached. At this point, Q-Rad E switches off the convector avoiding overshooting and saving you energy. To maintain the target temperature, Q-Rad E cycles the convective and radiant elements on and off as required.

Functionality
Q-Rad E has a unique self-learning delayed start function, which learns the thermal characteristics of a room and determines how long the appliance needs to operate in order to reach target temperatures based on factors such as room size, heat losses and the prevailing weather. Measuring the heat-up and cool-down times of the room, and how they vary with external temperature, the heater will work out what time it needs to start heating in order to reach the user-defined target temperature at a specified time. Inevitably, this minimises wasted energy and can deliver cost savings for users e.g. If you plan to get up at 7am and your desired temperature is 21oC: with a traditional system, you would need to estimate when to set the heating to come on to ensure it preheats the room in time. Depending on your settings and prevailing temperatures, this could mean that the room is still cold when you get out of bed or that it has been warm for some time before it needed to be. However, with this clever feature, Q-Rad E anticipates when it needs to start heating to reach 21oC by 7am, pre-heating for shorter periods when the weather is mild and longer periods to ensure you're warm in the winter.

The Dimplex QRad E comes with 4 pre-programmed timer modes: Out All Day, Home All Day, Holiday and Use Timer. The times of these may be modified to suit your lifestyle, plus there's a handy Advance function that lets you change your settings temporarily. Should a window or door be left open accidentally, Q-Rad E will detect a sudden change in temperature and scale back the output to 50%. Once the window or door has been closed, Q Rad E will return to normal operation. This technology ensures the output from the heater is reduced when heat is escaping from a room, thereby avoiding wastage and saving you money.

As it is summer and hot, I have not put them on yet. They look good on the walls and I am looking forward to using them come winter.

Seems to be working well, but I have owned Dimplex heaters for years, never look to buy any other, my opinion is slightly biased

I've gradually installed in several rooms in a property I own,
Looking forward to completing all rooms and then buing the wifi hub.

I have several of these radiators now and they're a very good, quality product.

This is a Massive hub. It's a really great product, with everything you need for a good install, and was really simple to set up, but it's just so big.
I've still given it 5 stars as my installation location is nicely hidden away, but I probably would have reduced by a star if it was visible - purely because of the size!
