Customer Reviews

  
"Disarmingly unfavorable quality. Discourteous costumer service." 2010-10-09
By K. Lee (Orange County, CA USA)
I received this heater as a replacement of another Delonghi heater which was higher-performing with more heat output in watts. This is how Delonghi treats you with its cocky 1-year limited warranty. You might as well get an inferior, cheaper product as Delonghi mistreats its customers to do itself a favor. The service location to deliver the broken heater was far, and Delonghi took more than a month to provide me with this cheaper heater.

Besides, both my original heater and the replacement (this heater that the review is about) broke in less than a year. I had to change through 3 heaters in less than a year due to Delonghi's rock bottom product quality.

Do NOT buy from Delonghi to bear this poor product quality and customer service.


  
"works great" 2010-05-03
By kobe love (san fran area)
i really like this product. this is my second one in 4 years, i think the last one died when our power went out. 24 hr timer & thermostat. not sure the cost of electricity usage. my only per peeve is the smell, takes a long time to burn off, have used it every day for over 3 weeks and it still smells. it's small but sturdy.

  
"Excellent Compact Heater" 2010-05-02
By Ira Eick (Jacksonville, FL USA)
An excellent compact heater. Easily maintains a 24 ft travel trailer comfortable in 30 deg weather. Provides a steady, constant source of heat. Have not yet used the programable feature, but judge it to be a plus. Fin surface does get uncomfortably hot to the touch so should be used with caution around small children or pets.

  
"Instructions! The first time you start this heater...." 2010-04-19
By LD (Colorado)
Take the heater to a room that you can close the door to and will not use for the next 24 hours- spare bedroom, bath, or garage. Before you plug it in- push all the red pins on the timer dial toward the center. This will prevent the heater from going on and off during your testing. You can program it later. Plug the cord in. Click both red switches to on and they will light up. Each switch controls a separate heating coil. If they do not light up, go to the black box on the power cord and press the red button. If you now have both switches light up, you have just solved the problems of over half who have written reviews saying the heater did not work. Rotate the temperature dial to the highest setting. Run the heater for 3 hours. There should be a lot of heat coming off the unit. If both switches are still red, the heater is working. You will smell the burn off but it is over at this point. Turn the switch for the hotter side off. You can continue the test in the room you want to run the heater in or leave it where it is. Turn the temperature dial down to a lower setting if you wish. It is better to run the unit on a low setting 24 hours a day than to have it going on and off. I found that I had to leave the door to the room open at setting #3 to keep it from getting too hot in my mountain home during the winter. I ran 3 of these units in my 2 story home all winter and the main furnace hardly kicked on. They cost about $20 more a month in electricity compared to gas. Not bad. I bought 7 of these units. I left each on for a month. I then boxed it up and tried the next one. I had one quit after 2 weeks and got a replacement. Once a room has been at a constant temperature for several days it does not take much to keep it there. If you want a warm bathroom, leave it on a low setting and crack the door. The excess heat will warm your hall and other rooms over time. The bath will stay warm no matter when you use it. Timers are a weak spot and they will fail before the heater is worn out. Its your money. Other than a factory defect-like the one I had- most of the complaints are because the people did not follow these steps. The manufacturer failed to explain these details.

  
"Excellent product/worth the price" 2010-04-10
By D. Grgach (Florida)
I purchased this heater through a recommendation of a friend. The product is excellent, looks good and most of all is very, very quiet. Heats up a pretty large room with high ceilings. I recommend this product without reservation.
