DeLonghi Dragon Digital Oil Filled Radiator Heater, 1500W Electric Space Heater for indoor use, programmable timer, Energy Saving, full room heater with safety features TRD40615EBK, 16"x10"x26", Black

I bought this item after an exhaustive review of a ton of space heaters for our non-heated sunroom, where we are quarantining a stray cat for the winter. We needed something that would keep the sunroom at a decent temperature, especially as it can dip below freezing where we live. We wanted something that was quiet to not scare the cat now, and quiet for use later. Most importantly, it had to be safe for both the cat and our home. Family members also recommended oil filled radiator heaters and have used them for years. To be sure, this radiator heater is significantly more expensive than others on the market (though why it costs $40 more for the exact same version in black is beyond me). However, it's made by a well known and respected manufacturer and has safety and energy saving features galore to justify that cost. It heats up quickly, puts out a gentle stream of heat and is keeping our sunroom (easily about 12' x 24') warm. As an example, last night the temperature outside was 28 degrees F - we set the heater to 70 degrees F in Eco mode, and the room stayed between 55 and 60 degrees all night (we use sensors and check frequently on our phone). I also spend many hours in that sunroom in the evenings and found the temperature to be very comfortable in spite of winter's chill outside - the amount of heat this device exudes is fantastic. The heater was super easy to set up - just take it out of the box and plug it in. I was able to do it solo, but it is well packaged so it might be easier to have someone hold the box while you lift the heater out. It has a sleek, modern look to it. It's about 25 lbs and a solid appliance - I like that I didn't have to add oil, or do anything to the device to start using it. Note that this is not a compact heater, so make sure you have plenty of clearance room around for safety. There are no exposed coils to cause sparks/fire and while the fins can get hot, they aren't nearly as dangerous as other space heaters. Keep kids and pets away from the heated device, but that should be the norm for any space heater. I saw the reviews which say the heater pings, makes noises and has a chemical smell. My experience was different - it's super quiet and I didn't smell anything bad, though our sunroom is somewhat drafty which might have helped dissipate any odors. Controls are easy to use (though I'd like to have had a remote control feature) and pretty intuitive. Would have also liked to have a longer cord for portability. All in all, this is a sturdy, robust heater. Quiet, powerful and does what you need it to with a ton of safety features built in. The extra cost is worth it for a quality device, and we don't anticipate having to replace this any time soon. Once the cat quarantine is over, we are looking forward to replacing our existing space heater with this one for comfort and emergencies. Really glad we bought it.

Have you ever heard popcorn cooking in the microwave? That's what this sounds like when you turn it on. This only lasts a few minutes; after it heats up, it is silent and puts out good heat. I would buy another if I needed one and suggest this one to people who do.

I just spent a crazy amount of time researching oil-filled radiator heaters (OFRHs), and Amazon has a LOT of them! I am reticent to admit exactly how much time I spent comparing & contrasting individual OFR heaters, because it's hard for people to understand why I am so nit picky and exacting when I research something that I'm going to buy. It's because most everything breaks or otherwise stops working now, so you have to replace many if not most mechanical / electronic items you buy (I'm beginning to wonder if there are "permanent breakdown" computer chips in some things, forcing you to buy new items every couple/few years anyway... on top of being cheap Chinese junk). In my experience, the lifespan of low to mid-range OFRHs is normally 1, at most 2 years. So a 3-year manufacturer's warranty will be great! And there's no need to buy an additional warranty because they run concurrent to the manufacturer's warranty (somewhat related side tangent: I've never dealt with Asurion, but Allstate is a total scam. If you call in with a valid claim, they will ask several questions until they hit on one that you answered the opposite of how you "should" have. Then they'll say "Sorry.. You're excluded from coverage. Just read your contract" (which basically negates and nullifies their ads, which lead you to believe you're covered. In reality, there are so many exclusions that what they are offering is nothing but smike & mirrors). Anyway, I have two parrots that I keep in an unheated room. Since they're tropical birds, and since it can get as low as 0 F or even minus 10 outside (50s in their room) it's imperative that the heat remains on for them 24/7, and every OFRH I looked at had an auto-timer shutoff at 24 hours. So to me this would mean having to start it again daily and always remember when it'd turn off. But what if some emergency happened and I couldn't get to it? This one has a 24-hr timer, and it's adjustable, but most importantly, they don't force you to have it automatically running whenever it's on and giving me one more thing I must remember to do everyday. So I think I looked at & comparrd every single OFRD on here. And generally speaking, with the cheapest ones, I've seen some reviews saying that the oil leaks out, and they smell really bad initially. I've had to regularly purshase a new one every 1-3 years even with the mid-range ones. They just simply stop working one day. Anyway, although I've only had thidls DeLonghi for about a week, I really love this OFRH. I also called their Warranty Dept and was really impessed with that too, and could tell that if you call in with a warranty issue, they're not going to ignore you. And it's an American I who I talked to (he even had perfect English!). If you pay attention to the weight of each OFRH you're comparing, you'll find that there's a big weight difference in them. You can presume from this that the heavier ones are built with thicker metal, and probably/possibly had more attention paid to it when being assembled... and also means it'll retain its heat longer than lighter ones made with thinner metal. This DeLonghi is the heaviest OFRD I found out of all on Amazon OFRHs at 26 poinds. Lighter one got down to as light as 17 pounds. Maybe even lower. Overall this OFRD feels rock solid, and it's the best one I've ever had. The ECO function is GREAT too. In the Spring when it starts warming up, there's no need to keep it on Low and just wasting electricity. But you do still want it on if it were to suddenly get cold (which can happen here). So this is a great idea to add this feature. But the absolute best thing of all is that this OFRH has a three-year warranty! This is the only OFRH I've seen with a warranty that long. That tells me that these are well put together.... good enough that they don't expect any to be coming back (or very few anyway), and that's a good sign.

El material en el que está elaborado es muy bueno, lo tengo para calentar una habitación de 3x3mts aprox. y es perfecto. Tengan cuidado porque se calienta por fuera, acaten todas las recomendaciones del fabricante. No compro nunca más esos calefactores plásticos mas baratos, no sirven. Esta marca es muy buena, la construccion del equipo excelente, llegó a tiempo. 100% recomendado

My 2nd unit I purchased. Set the temp you'd like on the front (or set ECO and it will try to keep things near the temperature you'd like), select your wattage (700,800,1500) and then relax and listen to a few "ping" sounds as it warms up. After that: silent heat. This will heat a larger room than they advertise. I've heated my whole 900 sq ft basement with it. It may smell for the first run, so plug it in before you need to use it, away from people, and run it full out for a few hours. Dry the oil residue up. ECO: Keeps you near the right temp, but rarely right on it. Supposedly uses less energy. Timer mode: if the timer is set while it is on, it will heat for that amount of time and switch off. If its set while off it will wait that long before turning on. You can't really set a schedule like some of their older analog models could. Unplugging the unit wipes out your timer and heat settings. This sits on rollers, and the feet tuck under to save a bit of space when you are storing it away. Keep your kids hands off as the outside surface does become pretty dang warm on full power. Not hot enough to burn on a quick touch, but an extended touch might be concerning. I like it so much this is my second purchase.

Originalmente lo vi en una tienda de apartament y me frustré cuando vi que se les había agotado y si lo encargaba tardaba mucho en llegar. Amazon nunca decepciona al tener una gran variedad de productos que podamos necesitar y la rapidez con la que los entrega. Leí respecto de los distintos modelos que ofrece, y consideré que esto es una gran opción, porque el calentamiento del espacio en donde lo colocas es gradual y se mantiene a diferencia de los que son eléctricos. Una vez que ya lo tuve, comprobé que es cierto, y aunque no sea un producto más accesible que otros modelos de otras marcas, su calidad y garantía lo valen .

Unfortunately I didn’t realize it was imported from the US. The product works well at keeping my room warm.

Excelente produto
