Not bad for a space heater November 10, 2008
P. Rizzuto (Boston, MA)
We bought two Delonghi TRD715T heaters to use as supplemental heating to our oil. We put one in our 2 year old son's room and one in the living room. The three power settings are great for finding a good performance level without using the full 1500w most other heaters use, saving a lot on electricity. If I turn on the heater about 30 minutes before my son goes to sleep, it keeps his room at a nice temperature for cold nights. As others have said, it takes a little while to get up to operating temperature, but that's only because it needs to heat the oil instead of having a heating element that heats up almost instantly.
The only thing from keeping me giving the heaters a 5 star rating is the lack of digital controls. The "96 timing options" are just a set of 96 little dip switches on the front of the unit. You turn the entire dial so the arrow points to the approximate time, then you set the dip switches up or down depending on whether you want the unit to turn on or turn off. It's very very tedious, and difficult to set correctly.
The other problem is there is no temperature control except for a slider below the power dial. Slide it to the left and it sets a lower temperature. Slide it to right and it's higher. It took a few days to find the right setting for that slider so that my son's room was neither too hot nor too cold.
For such a nice looking and working unit, not having digital controls and a temperature setting cheapens it quite a bit. If it had these controls, it would have been a solid 5 star rating, and I probably would have bought another one for our kitchen area, which gets cold during the winter.
For those who don't mind fiddling with 96 dip switches and a slider for temperature, this is a good unit at a fair price.
 Wonderful November 9, 2008

Yes, it smells funny when you first start using it, however after the initial break in period, it has worked wonderfully ever since. The timer on it is a wonderful feature, as when I get home the room is all warmed up for me already. I am very happy with this product.

Outstanding product. Other products I had were noisy and not as efficient. Great heat distribution
Works as Advertised November 1, 2008

So far, this has been a good space heater, easy to control, and puts out a fair amount of heat.
Delonghi TRD0715T Oil-Filled Radiator October 31, 2008
May Eve (Foothills, NC, USA)
I purchased this heater from the local Lowes after reading all the reviews on this particular product, and reviews on other heaters.
Pros: Quiet (only pings once in a while heating up or cooling down); radiates lots of heat after initial warm up; does not burn fingers at low heat setting; Safe to leave on 24 seven.
Cons: Cord needs to be more heavy duty and needs to be longer - since the heater cannot be placed next to a wall, and the fact that some apartments or houses do not have convenient outlets; it would be a lot better if it had a digital thermostat instead of just an adjustable thermostat; timer is a little daunting in figuring out.
So far, I am pleased with this product. I am planning to use two of these heaters for my 600 sq. foot apartment this winter instead of fuel oil. It already has been down in the low 30's two nights in a row here in the foothills, and it was just a wee bit chilly using one of the heaters, but not overly so. I bought a second heater today. I am still tinkering with the adjustable thermostat.
I grew up with a wood heater and this heater beats that scenario by a mile.
