Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Delonghi TRD0715T Safe Heat Oil-Filled Radiator

Customer Review: delonghi Heater
Summary: 5 Stars

SUGGESTION; I beleive Amazon should wait at least 60 days to ask for a review of products. Reading a review in such a short time is not beneficial to a future consumer. Xample, if someone buys a heater of sorts in a warm month,,, How can they give an honest opinion of it?

I, on the other hand, have used The Delonghi on occasion for overnite use and after that amount of time, I will rate it a 9 only because to understand the directions was a bit confusing, or it would be a 10.
The consumer is to understand it is a SPACE heater.
I am VERY satified with it.

Customer Review: EXCELLENT!
Summary: 5 Stars

This oil heater works wonderful! We could not believe that it worked so well. We put it in our camper and it made ever inch of the camper toasty warm all at one temp. It really is amazing!

Customer Review: Mike's Review
Summary: 4 Stars

Just opened this unit, read the directions, plugged-it-in and have enjoyed the quiet heat of this oil-filled radiator heater for the last several nights. We have bought several portable heaters over the years and always get this type because they are quiet (no annoying fans). Usually, every two-three years they have to be replaced due to oil leaking or a cord connection going bad. Our last heater had a digital temperature readout, which I really liked - where this one does not (the reason for a 4-star rating instead of 5). The timer is easy to set - little "flimsy feeling" plastic tabs set in - for heater on, and out - for heater off. One nice feature is the metal plates along the sides which seem to channel heat upwards through top vents keeping the sides cooler (a concern if little children are present).

Customer Review: Cold Winter Mornings, Warm Morning Bathroom
Summary: 5 Stars

It took me awhile to find a small portable heater that would turn itself on at a specific time as well as turn itself off at a specific time. Most portable heaters had timer shutoffs but required you to first turn them on. My goal was simple, warm up the bathroom before I got up in the morning. This Delonghi Model filled the bill. The timer mechanism which turns the heater on and off is accurate and reliable. The thermostat also works accurately and reliably to maintain a very even heat.

It took a little experimentation to determine how long the heater had to run at the various heat settings to warm up the approx 10X10 bathroom so I knew when to have it cut on to raise the temperature to the desired level for my early morning wakeup trip. Long story made short, it works quite well in achieving the desired result... I have it set to turn on two hours before I get up and the bathroom is, as a result, toasty enough each morning. I should disclose that the heater operates in a bathroom with a 12' ceiling which is a bit taller than the typical 8' ceiling more commonly found...it requires a longer warm up time as a result. I can also report that the heater is totally silent. The only sounds I've ever heard are some very light tapping sounds of very short duration when it first comes on and up to temperature(tis the nature of applying heat to metal). Same thing happens when it shuts off and begins to cool down. I should emphasize that these sounds are very subtle and of short duration. Barely noticeable.

I have read some other comments regarding an odor emission. I noticed the same thing the first couple of times it was used but absolutely nothing since. I'm sure it was some kind of protective coating they apply to the surface at time of manufacture. In any case, with the exception of it's initial break-in, no odors since.

Summary: Very pleased with the performance of this space heater for my purpose. It's not designed or built to heat large areas but is quite effective and efficient in heating modestly sized areas. I really like the convenience of automatic turn on and off, which by the way can easily be suspended or readjusted as necessary. Because it is of the convection type design it provides a very even heating without the hot spots the small forced air heaters can generate. I would deem it safe to use around children and pets as well. No extremely hot exposed surfaces and has the required safety shutoff mechanisms if the unit should ever get knocked over.
