I bought three of these for our home because this type of heater was the only space heater the insurance company would let us buy for the office where I worked. I felt these De'Longhi Oil Filled Radiator Heaters were the safest ones for our home as well. They have worked very well for us and still work well for warmth in far rooms years after I bought them here. We also have an earlier De'Longhi one, of a little different design, that I bought over 20 years ago that is still going strong and it is the reason I stuck with this particular brand name.

I have to start off this review that the heater works GREAT came with FAST shipping and INSTANT setup. It was early December, there was a particularly nasty cold spell over my area, a week-long stretch of -5° C to -15° C (23 F° to 5F°) lows. I was living in a two bedroom Condo with lots of windows and excess heat from the building. Up until then, the heat hadn't been on since LAST winter so the gas line was shut off. Before December I thought we could make it through, tough out the cold but it was hovering around 15° C (60 F°) inside for large parts of the day. That's where the Delonghi came in. Obviously, this wasn't going to heat up the entire Condo but for my modest bedroom, it was PERFECT. The unit is simple enough with 6 temperature settings (1-6), three power settings (Min, Med, Max) and a Comfort Temp mode. I don't think the power/heat settings need much explaining but I'll talk about ComfortTemp later as it took me awhile to figure out. You can use it instantly after flipping the wheels down but I HIGHLY recommend TEMPERING the unit. --Tempering, simply enough has you crank it up to the highest heat/power and leave it running for at least 6hours outside. The manufacturer had a coating on the unit to prevent rust, and every time you heat it to the max there is a very distinct smell. You are letting this coating melt off so and will get rid of the funky odor. --Comfort Temp is a smart feature that has the unit save you power ($$$$) by automatically adjusting the heat of the unit to your desired temperature. First, you have to find the temperature you want your space. Set the heat to 3-4 and patiently wait for it to heat (these are not magic, be patient, it takes time). Once you're warm spin the dial down (counter-clockwise) until you hear a *CLICK* and no further. Voila, it's set and the unit will turn on/off to keep the room at around this temperature. I went from wearing three pairs of socks, thick PJ's and blankets to comfy shorts and a Tee. The unit works so well, in fact, I found myself turning it down on more than a few occasions! -----RECAP----- -This thing gets HOT. Not enough to burn you but accidentally walking into it you'll jump! -EASY&FAST setup. -Temper your machine. Otherwise, there'll be a smell. -ComfortTemp automatically adjusts heat to your desired temperature. -Use common sense, this won't heat up a very large space a bedroom is perfect. -Efficient. I had it running ~14hours a day for two weeks and saw a modest increase of maybe $25 on my bill (Ontario rates).

*original review* Mine sounds like a machine gun when it cycles off and on. You would think a company that builds heaters out of metal would figure out how to mitigate noise from expansion and contraction and keep them quiet. Maybe i just got a defective unit... *Second unit* The first unit I purchased was defective after all. Bought another one and it's perfectly quiet, with only a gentle click from the thermostat. Absolutely zero noise from expanding and contracting metal parts, but there is (as with ALL oil-filled radiators) some popping noise from the oil when it first heats up after being off all day, but that only lasts 3-4 minutes. Once it's up to operating temp, it's dead silent. The new one works great, and the "comfort temp" is a nice feature. That setting basically ignores the main thermostat knob and keeps the room around 65-70. I use my heater in a poorly insulated bedroom w/ attached office, the total area is 310 sqft. It works great for this size room, but the lowest temperature it's seen so far is 17F. We'll see how it does at -30F this winter.

Y na maravilla. No hasta tanta energía y mantiene las habitaciones cálidas en tiempo de frío
