Quick verdict
Dimplex Oil Free Radiator sits in a £74-£104 price range and looks most convincing as a compact, plug-in heater for small spaces or topping up warmth rather than replacing central heating. The key check is whether 700W is enough for your room size, because that output points to supplemental use more than whole-room heating.

Dimplex Oil Free Radiator is listed with 3 colour options from £74-£104. The visible colours include White, Grey, so use the table to compare the option that matches the exact size, colour, format or specification you want.

What the product page evidence suggests
The clearest match in the available evidence is the Dimplex OFRB7N_WH family, with the White variant showing 700W output, thermostat, frost protect, safety switch-off, plug fitted and compact dimensions. AO’s product page could not be read normally because an anti-bot interstitial appeared, so the safest approach is to verify the exact colour, model number, stock and delivery details on the live AO listing before you buy. Grey is tracked as a variant too, but White is the strongest specification match in the material we could confirm. At the same time, the price band tracked for this heater is £74-£104, so make sure the live listing still fits your budget and room size.
What the wider evidence says
AO’s visible review detail is encouraging for this product family, with 4.8 out of 5 from up to 74 reviews on the White listing. Price-wise, the tracked £74-£104 range sits below the comparable-product median of £109, and the fact that 3 variants are tracked gives more choice than most peers in this set. That makes this a shortlist option worth comparing, but not an automatic buy.
Buyer trade-offs to weigh
The main trade-off is between compact plug-in convenience and output: the Dimplex Oil Free Radiator’s 700W specification is easier to place in a small room, but it is not the sort of figure you would lean on for a larger room or main heating. Its compact dimensions and plug fitted format should help placement, yet the value only stacks up if your room size, thermostat needs and expected use line up with that lower-output design. In practical terms, 700W is more likely to be enough for background warmth in a small space than for quick whole-room heating.
Price and value benchmark
With a tracked price range of £74-£104, this Dimplex heater sits in the budget end of the set and below the peer median of £109. That is a decent starting point for value, but the better deal depends on whether the exact White or Grey variant, the 700W output, and the live checkout price all match what you actually need. Always check the latest price, delivery charge and stock before you judge it against nearby alternatives.
Specs versus nearby alternatives
For this Dimplex OFRB7N family heater, the practical comparison points are thermostat control, frost protect, safety switch-off and a plug fitted design, because those features shape how easy it is to place and use in a room. Compared with a higher-output radiator, the Dimplex’s 700W output makes more sense for smaller spaces or background warmth; compared with a more basic compact heater, it offers a more complete safety-and-control package. If you need stronger warmth for a larger room, a higher-wattage radiator will usually be the better alternative even if it costs more than the £74-£104 range tracked here.
How to read the review evidence
The 4.8 rating from up to 74 reviews is encouraging, especially for a budget-priced Dimplex heater, but most of the visible support comes from AO’s retailer-visible information rather than broad independent coverage. Treat that rating as helpful context, not proof of performance, and keep the OFRB7N model family, colour and listing details in view before you decide.
Who it suits
This looks best for shoppers who want a compact Dimplex heater that can be placed easily in a small room, office or similar space, and who are shopping on a budget. The 700W Dimplex Oil Free Radiator is also a sensible shortlist if you want supplemental heat from a plug-in unit rather than a larger, more permanent heater, and if features like thermostat, frost protect and safety switch-off matter more than chasing a bigger output.
Who should avoid it
Skip this if you need a main heater for a larger room, or if you already know that 700W is unlikely to give you enough warmth from an AO-listed Dimplex oil-free radiator. It is also a weaker fit if you are comparing only by output, because higher-power alternatives may suit bigger spaces better even if they cost more than the £74-£104 range tracked here.
Comfort and day-to-day use
For everyday use, the most relevant details are the thermostat, frost protect, safety switch-off, compact dimensions and plug fitted format on the Dimplex OFRB7N family. Those features make it easier to position the heater in a small room and use it with less fuss, while the 700W output keeps expectations grounded for top-up heat rather than whole-room comfort. At £74-£104, it is better thought of as a practical small-space heater for daily background use than a high-output comfort solution. Check the exact Grey or White variant, and make sure the footprint suits the spot where you want to place it.
Value verdict
This is a budget-end Dimplex oil-free radiator, so the value case depends on spec match more than headline price alone. Compare the Grey and White variants, confirm the OFRB7N model number, and check the latest AO price, warranty and delivery details before buying, because those live-listing details decide whether the £74-£104 range is genuinely good value for your space.

Questions about this electrical
Is 700W enough for my room?
700W is best treated as a check point rather than a blanket yes. It looks more suitable for a small space or supplemental heat than for a larger room, so compare the room size, insulation and how often you want to use it before buying.
Is this a main heater or a supplemental heater?
Based on the 700W output and compact plug-in format, it looks more like a supplemental heater than a main heating solution. If you need stronger warmth for a bigger area, a higher-output alternative is likely the safer comparison.
Do Grey and White differ beyond colour?
The evidence most clearly matches the OFRB7N family, with White being the clearest specification match and Grey also tracked as a variant. Check the live AO listing for the exact model number, because colour, price and availability can differ even when the core product is the same.
What should I check before buying?
Confirm the exact colour and model number, then check price, stock, delivery cost, warranty length and the dimensions against your intended space. Those checks matter more than the headline rating, especially when the review evidence is mostly retailer-visible.
What does the AO rating mean if independent review coverage is limited?
The 4.8 out of 5 rating from up to 74 reviews is a useful sign that AO customers are responding well to the product, but it is still retailer-visible feedback rather than broad independent evidence. Use it as reassurance, then weigh it against the 700W output and the room size you actually need to heat.
