Dimplex DCACM20 (Manual Controls)

We bought this air circulator after having sleepless nights with the heat, and we wanted to be able to keep the air moving through to cool us. We were trying to solve the problem quickly, as we one day would plan to put in a fan - however right now we don’t have the time.
This little gem was on special at the good guys, and we thought we would give it a go!
Pros:
It really does cover a good area - circulates through our whole master suite, wardrobes and ensuite no problems
The option to rotate not only it’s direction for constant direct airfl...

I purchased a Dimplex DCACM20 Air Circulator 23/1/2020. At first I didn't use it much but lately I am using it more and it needs a good clean on the inside but the instruction manual says just wipe the outside with a soft brush and wipe the surface of the unit with a soft damp cloth and a mild detergent which is alright for the outside but how on earth do you clean the inside. There is no mention of how to clean the inside. Dust and grime has built up on the fan blades inside the air circulator and all the instruction manual says is 'THE FAN COVER CANNOT BE REMOVED'. It's very dangerous and could be a fire hazard. I wouldn't recommend this product.

This is a great little fan but I can't clean it. Now it takes a while to actually start rotating. Probably dust build up because I live out in the country. Please help

Nice looking little fan, needs more thought put into accessing fan blades for cleaning. Can be quite noisy, they need a very low setting for at night, I found it too noisy to use in my bedroom at night, so ended up giving it away to a relative.

Great function and form factor. Quite on low speed but noisy on high. Difficult to clean but not impossible. The front of the unit does come off, there is a screw you can access from the back. Once removed, it’s easier to get to cover off.

Purchased this from appliances Online just 12 months ago and they were wonderful. Within 6 months of moderate use unit failed. Would not work at all. Appliances Online replaced it promptly. Now 6 months after that unit has again failed. Have only just written to dimplex. Has put me right off anything with the Dimplex brand. I've had fans that have continued to work after close to a decade, and this thing can't event make it to a year. Difficult to clean, can't get to the fan blades to wipe them down as it is an entirely closed unit. Doesn't se...

This is a great little fan to start with, but as mentioned in the manual, dust build-up will effect the operation and yet you can't remove the grill cover to clean the dust! They recommend to use a vacuum, however, as other reviews have mentioned, this simply does not work. So, depending on your environment, you effectively have a fan becoming increasing ineffective within a few months. Would I recommend it? Certainly NOT!

Good old fashioned service is alive and well. Purchased a Dimplex Evaporitave cooler ( can recommend) last November (2019) with this bonus fan. Fan failed in January just out of warranty, enquired Dimplex where to take for repairs but was informed it couldn't be fiixed but was requested to forward our purchase receipt. Today we recieved a replacement, not new, but how wonderful to encounter a company with genuine customer care qualities, as older Aussies it's a breath of fresh air. Thankyou Dimplex and congratulations.

Purchased the Dimplex Air Circulator in May 2018. Low setting is reasonably quiet so it suits the main purpose for use in the bedroom to circulate air helping me sleep, white noise effect is helpful to in that respect. But high speed is ridiculous, the noise it makes is very loud, to loud to watch TV with, the increase in air flow does not match the decibel increase and the unit vibrates on high, making high useless. But with recent hot nights I really wanted a fan speed a bit more than the low setting. Not good enough for the $80 it cost. The...
