My daughter has a decorative fan heater/fake fire (a Dimplex machine).
Most of the big black box is just for the decorative fake fire and it seems to have a pretty conventional 2 or 3kw fan heater built into the base.
On the "fan only" setting, the motor just buzzes. Ditto on the low heat setting. On high speed (a available when high heat is selected) the motor runs but makes a continuous grumbling noise.
The air output seems adequate to prevent the elements overheating but I'm not happy with it. The fan spins freely so it's not a stiff bearing.
If it were *just* a fan heater I'd just chuck it. Is it possible to source a replacement motor (at an economic cost)? The motor is a 230v 14W Fuer FEA-J. Google hasn't been my friend so far.
