Hi what a cracking idea the Microfire is.We just have normal radiators to keep our house warm,which when you have clothes washing on them,they dont produce a lot of heat so this would look fantastic in our front room and take away the chill.Thanks!!!

I’d use the Dimplex MicroFire in my study, as it is the coldest room in the house and only has one tiny radiator.
To keep warm in winter, I like to potter around the house in my soft and cosy house coat/dressing gown.
I would use the Dimplex MicroFire in my kitchen. It’s the only room without central heating, and has a stone floor!
thick thermal socks and slippers to keep my feet warm as the concrete floors in my home freeze
my feet and lower legs in the winter. i would love to put the fire in the lounge and cosy up to it
in the winter and what a delight it would be to have extra warmth and to see the glow of the fire 🙂

I have no central heating so our woodburner is used when its extra cold and other than that warm slippers, serveal layers and hot chocolate!

I love candles and a blanket with my partner when the weather is just beginning to turn colder.

I like to get warm by snuggling under the duvet with my wife and I would put the fire in my kitchen cos it’s freezing!!!

Oh and it would be in the lounge area, oopsy I forgot that bit
My main way of warming up involves dressing gown and fluffy socks no matter what the time is or what I’m wearing (that and “grab the nearest cat”). I would use a dimplex fire in my study – that way my partner never ever need know it exists and he can’t steal it AND I have my own private warmth!
favourite way to warm up is definitely making a nice cuppa tea or hot chocolate, snuggling up in a blanket in front of the tv next to the fire in the living room! i would definitely have to use this heater in my bedroom however as it is constantly freezing cold… even under the covers!!
I would donate it to my husband who has converted the shed at the bottom of the garden into a (rather drafty) work from home office.
Although I would make him bring it back in in the evenings so we would be nice a cosy, cuddled up on the sofa with the light off, watching the TV.

I stay in bed for as long as I can, in the morning – warmest place to be.

THANKS FOR COMP, BEST WAY TO WARM UP IN WINTER, INGREDIANTS, KIDS ASLEEP, SNUG WARM DRESSING GOWN, CUP OF HOT CHOCOLATE, GOOD BOOK/LOG FIRE, COMFY SLIPPERS, ALMOST FORGOT ADD ONE ROMANTIC FELLA (HUSBAND WILL DO IN EMERGENCY)
l curl up on the sofa with a warm wheat bag smelling of lavender and a thick rug
I go for a brisk walk along the coast so when I get back home I appreciate how warm it is inside. I have a hot drink and/or a bowl of soup to keep warm.
I would use a Dimplex MicroFire in the conservatory because it is the biggest room that loses the most heat in the winter. It’s also where I do all my work on the laptop and I often get quite chilly if I am sitting down in there for too long.
I would put mine in the bedroom then snuggle up and watch TV in bed nice and cosy
Best way to warm up is a hot drink, preferably hot and spicy soup
I need the Dimplex MicroFire to keep me warm in my study/computer room
Keep warm with a water bottle.
Would put it in the lounge to replace the one that blew up last year (well not literally blew up it went “putt” and that was it) x
In winter I warm up by wrapping up with a nice, soft cardigan. When I watch the tv I use a fleece blanket, promptly followed by the cat, who comes to “steal” my heat – ops, sorry, I mean, comes to sit by me because he loves me ;-_
I would put the Dimplex MicroFire in the living room as this is the room where I spend most of my free time (and one of the coldest, being near the from door).

My favourite way to warm up is snuggling on the sofa with my little boy watching his favourite telly under a cozy blanket, and if I was the lucky winner of this, I would use it both in my office and in the animals shed in the winter whilst tending them
I love to snuggle in bed with a hot water bottle, a big mug of tea and a good book. The radiator in the bedroom was cunningly placed right below the window, so all the heat goes straight out of it, even when it’s closed. 🙁 The Dimplex Microfire would be perfect for my bedroom provided I remembered to put it on a timer plug so I didn’t fall asleep in the cosiness and leave it on all night!
in front of the open fire with a mug of hot chocolate.
I would use the fir in my daughters room as our house had no heating other than the open fire, can get a bit chilly upstairs !
I love our gas fire in the living room but its not portable… . I would use to warm up our kitchen so we don’t freeze there while eating.
i keep warm drinking a hot cup of cocoa,a fleecy night gown and slippers and a nice hot water bottle in bed,i would use the Dimplex Microfire in my bedroom
We have blankets, duvets and hot water bottles… on the sofa! Our overnight storage heaters are so fabulous at keeping things toasty while we are asleep that we have to open the windows to stop it becoming stifling. Daytime is also too hot, but by early evening they are giving up the ghost and the temperature dropping so I have hot water bottles and duvets to snuggle under. I think a separate heater would mean we could run the night storage on minimum over night and use the heater for a nice boost when we sit down in the evenings whichever room we are in!
A good way to keep warm is to cuddle on under blankets on the sofa with a loved one.
I would use the Dimplex MicroFire in the lounge as it’s the coldest room and where we spend our evenings.
I lovely a hot bowl of soup to warm the cockles
I’d use the Dimplex MicroFire in the kitchen

I like to get in my PJ’s nice and early, fleece dressing gown and thermal socks, then cosy up on the sofa under my fleecy blanket with a glass of vino. Bliss! I’d use the Dimplex in my lounge to save heating the whole house when it’s just me in because my son’s away for the weekends.
My favourite way of warming up in the winter is by putting on thick socks and wrapping myself in a blanket – if the cat decides to plonk herself on my lap to act as a hot water bottle substitute, all the better!
I’d use the Dimplex Microfire in our lounge – despite my best efforts with draught excluders, it’s still a bit nippy in there!
I put my bedsocks on and have a nice cup of hot chocolate! I’d use the fire in my front room.
to warm up on a cold evening, i like to put on my pj’s, snuggle up on the sofa with my son, with a big puffy duvet, and drink hot chocolate whilst watching a film….lush!
I’ve recently build an office in the garden (my office in the house is now our baby’s nursery!), and the Dimplex MicroFire would look amazing in there – add a touch of home comfort. Hmm, keeping warm in the winter – adding a splash of my favourite whiskey to freshly brewed coffee, evenings and weekends only of course ; )

I would use it in my dining room

I snuggle up with my son’s cuddly toys on his bed while he is at school. He likes me to give them love whilst he is away and I get nice and warm.
I would use in the kitchen as I go down from his bedrrom to a cold kitchen ……..and run straight back up…….no tea, no coffee, no hot chocolate, just a red nose!
I put on my pyjamas, then my fleece dressing gown, with thick fluffy socks and my slippers on. I then curl up on the sofa with my homemade patchwork quilts. i would use it in my living room because the radiator that we have is just not up for the job.
PJs, hot water bottle, dressing gown and hot chocolate.

I keep warm with lots of hugs and cuddles! I’d put the Dimplex in my kitchen, the coldest room in the house and the room I spend an inordinate amount of time in.
I put 3 Hot Bottles in My Bed, One A Microwave type for my feet , the other two are hot water types. I the Dress for Bed and go down stairs and have a Hot Ovaltine in front of the Telly.
I would put the Dimplex Microfibre in my Bedroom to heat the room along with my Bed by the bottles in case I kick off my coverings..
Ok, we are talking, hot water bottles, slipper socks, Pyjamas, Fleecy dressing Gown, Blanket and a Hot choccy!
Now if I had a Bold Red Dimplex it would have pride of place in my living room and I might be able to do away with the hot water bottles!! and maybe the blanket! (not the hot choccy though!)
I currently do my studying in the spare bedroom, so I don extra socks, a jumper and a fleece blanket to try and stay warm. With the Dimplex Microfibre in there I might be able to concentrate on studying and not on my teeth chattering!!

I like to warm up by Putting a big jumper on and I’d like to use the fire in in our Living Room.

A mug of hot chocolate with a dash of brandy in front of the fire.
The fire would be wonderful for my freezing studio! 🙂
I always have a nice hot bath when i get cold, doesn’t last for ages but usually enough to warm up and go to bed.

I like to keep warm in my kitchen as the radiator is in such a silly place, a dimplex fire would be so much better to warm the area the radiator doesnt reach. A homely effect, there would be no arguements on who is going to make a cup of tea as the kitchen would be toasty warm !
A hot drink, a hot wheatbag and a fleece get me warm. I’d use the heater in whichever room I needed to be in during the day to save putting the central heating on.

A lovely pot of tea and a snuggly blanket
A Micro Fire in the Conservatory to radiate warmth through Electricty
A cuddle on the sofa with hubby :0)xx i would use this in the front room for a little bit more snugness
A Dimplex Microfire would be a fantastic addition to our conservatory which is freezing cold in winter. To be able to ‘hide’ in there with a good book and a mug of hot chocolate, or just simply watch the wildlife in the garden would be wonderful
i will be using this fire to actually HEAT our room in cold months as our current fire is for more display purpose than anything as it has been faulty since purchase – gutted. so rather than layering up it would be nice to enjoy a warm and stylish front room

the windows!

eeek i should have said members of the family, not members of the ‘sofa’ mwahahahahaha 🙂
My favourite way of warming up is to cosy up in bed under warm covers with my hubby! (body heat!) … We could really use the Microfire heater in our living room as it is freezing most of winter and we’d love to get cosy in there and watch movies! Fingers crossed 🙂
I would use this heater in my living room ,as at the moment me and hubby snuggle under the quilt with my cat bear in between us to keep warm.Bear would also love to lay in front of it,well he is getting an old boy now Meoooowwww
My house is pretty chilly thruoughout, so being ‘mobile’ would be a great asset…

Normally i get under the duvet and watch TV from there!

Dancing around the room to my favourite Bobby Womack track always warms me up, but as this is not always practical. Fingerless mitts are always a good idea as well as a hot water bottle stuffed up my jumper. I would put the microfire in any room I was in at the time.
I wear mittens and a hat, get under my duvet and snuggle with whoever is available for snuggles (generally the dog). I’d put the microfire in the attic, as it’s like the arctic in there right now.
As our house is a new build we have no fireplace 🙁 So to save on the central heating bills the only way to get warm in my living room is to snuggle up with my 3 Beagle puppies in a big kingsize duvet! If i won i would use the Microfire in the living room but would still snuggle the poochies.
My favourite way of warming up is a latte in front of a flickering fire, unfortunately we don’t have any heating at the moment so usually lots of jumpers

I use a snuggie blanket to cocoon myself but I still get cold in my bedroom so I’d use this to warm it up before going to bed!
Whoops – so caught up thinking about my chicken soup, I forgot to say that I would use the heater in my static caravan, sited on a windy farm site, which is quite old and doesn’t have central heating
Chicken Soup will keep the chills at bay & if you do have a chill, this recipe is better than any pill you can take.
Boil a whole chicken in a large pan of water (Remove when cooked & reserve for another dish).
Add lots of root veg, onions & as much garlic as you can take (The garlic is the most active ingredient).
I like the fat on the top ofg the soup, but if you dont, just skim it off.
Either eat it chunky or blend it up.
Serve with crusty bread.
Switch telly on, put slanket on & curl up & ENJOY!

My living room is the Hub of all entertainment, whether just curling up on the sofa with the dog watching TV, listening to music, and reading a book or entertaining friends, this will be a perfect and useful addition to my room 🙂
my favourite way to warm up in the cold is to put my boyfriends hoody on , fluffy socks , a nice hot chocolate toopped with whipped cream and marshmellows sitting on my sofa wit my dog on my lap watching a romcom .
if i won i would put the microfire in my frontroom
I don’t want to get too graphic but me and my girlfriend like to warm each other up at the end of a long day during winter months in the bedroom. Therefore we would love to use it in the bedroom for a relaxing mood. Apologies for the smut.
A warm bath, followed by a chocolate, wrapped in my blanket. I’d use this in my living room as it’s so stylish.
I like to cuddle up to my cats with several jumpers on
My favourite way to warm up in winter is to watch a hot DVD…..no I don’t mean ‘naughty – hot’ I mean a Movie set somewhere hot. I see the sunshine and sand and think I’m somewhere warm. It’s a bit of a jolt to come back to the cold when the movie ends 🙂
I’d put my Dimplex Microfire in the bedroom I’m currently converting into a first floor sitting room. I’m taking over this room as a new ‘lounge’ because it has a huge, south facing window, so when the sun shines it’s lovely…but when it’s cold and raining I definitely need some extra warmth!
We would take it to the caravan with us and carry it with us from room to room – turning a cold, shivery igloo into a warm, snug haven!
so stylish i want one please
I like to cuddle up under my blankie with my two little girls on the sofa with a nice hot cup of tea for me and some warm choccy milk for them and read them a story! I’d use the beautiful fire in the conservatory as there’s no heating in there and so the girls miss out on playing with their toy kitchen (which only fits in there) this time of year :O)
I’d use it in my study to avoid having to heat the entire house when I’m working from home. That’d save me some hard to come by cash!
my favourite way of warming up is to cuddle up with my big hairy German Shepherd Dog. I would put this fire in my daughter’s room as it’s always cold in there.
Central heating is for wimps! Wearing layer on layer, and keeping moving keeps me warm. Having an ageing house which needs more maintenance than the Forth Bridge means never feeling the cold. Though putting some Microfire in the bedroom is never a bad idea.
i love to snuggle up with my dogs – id have to have the fire in my home office which is always cold!
My favorite was to warm up is over a cup of hot chocolate in my local coffee shop with friends.
The heater would look perfect in my study. Very stylish.
I put my electric blanket on, fill my hot water bottle, then snuggle down under two duvets and a couple of blankets. I’d have the Microfire in my very cold study.
Come on baby light my fire
