5.0 out of 5 stars Very effective
I bought this to replace a similar one that we had for quite a few years. This is great! Heats up quickly and plenty of heat to warm a largeish room. I use it during the day as I work from home and have found it to be ideal. I use the timer function as it heats the room so well I just need it on from time to time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Heater
Having read other reviews, I was bracing myself for item to be delivered that would be damaged but was pleasantly surprised.Integrated wheels and this 2kw heater emits some serious heat unlike the other 2kw models.As you can see in the photos, my garden room is nice and toasty.This was on sale and well wroth the money, age old saying goes, you get what you pay for.
4.0 out of 5 stars Difficulty reading the Dial
Dislikes - Thermostat dial difficult to see and read, its not a raised embossed dial actually the opposite and with it being shiny silver dial and small digits you really cant see what temperature it is. Would have been so much easier to have it backlit and bigger digits that you can feel with your fingertips! There is only 1 hand lift, so if you needed to lift it upstairs then it would have to be a carry up in your arms. Dont try and lift it by putting your fingers through the top grating (over the fins) as I am sure it would break. Would have preferred much brighter dials e.g. LED as the whole control panel is pretty much dark. You need to bend down to see the tiny red lights on the power switch. Maybe a remote control would be the obvious answer.Likes - good heat output and easy for maneuverability in the home. Like the design of it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Delonghi!
Worth every penny. Arrived in perfect conditions with the original box (despite some reviews below showing the contrary). I did use an extension cord which was ok up to 13A and 250V and all worked out great. The instructions suggest at least 2h in a ventilated place to get rid of the new smell, it took me probably 1h30 and no more smell. Today it’s the second day in full use, it’s phenomenal. Heating up a large room, no smell, no noise, and keeps warm after it’s off. Top quality!
5.0 out of 5 stars Sounds bad I know
I read many reviews including negative as well as positive reviews before deciding to buy this heater. Stories of the heater stinking, creaking and groaning, loud timer ticking, fiddly switch to change from manual operation to timer, over sensitive thermostat control, manual and not electronic timer, short mains lead being a problem as you are not supposed to use this with an extension cable.Sounds bad I know, but before you decide, let me tell you of my experience.Some reviewers had complained of damage to packaging and the heater itself on delivery. Mine arrived on time and in perfect condition. I immediately set in up near the open conservatory doors to run it for a minimum of two hours on highest setting as per instructions to burn off the “new” smell. I actually ran it for three hours. It did smell a bit during this procedure. Because of the short power lead, I had to use an extension lead to do this. Now the manufacturers have put a warning NOT to use an extension lead. No need to worry if you have the right extension. If you buy a generic one at a supermarket or DIY store for a few pounds, these are often (not always) rated at about 10.5 amps. The 2.5kw current draw on this heater is about 10.5 amps. A bit too near the limit for my liking. Simple answer is, buy an extension you know is rated at a genuine 13 amps. So I bought this one https://www.Bolo.co.uk/Masterplug-EXS1342B-4-Gang-Permaplug-Extension/dp/B0083GLO0I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1514650084&sr=8-2&keywords=2m+heavy+duty+extension+lead OK it’s a tad more expensive than a generic supermarket ones, but well worth the little extra to get the flexibility. It is wired using 1.25mm cable so no problem on current draw. When the heater is plugged in to this extension along with my TV, sound bar and lamp the total current draw is approximately 2.7kw, I left everything switched on (heater on full) for three hours, heater lead was cool, extension lead was cool, heater and extension lead plugs were cool. So, there is no problem using an extension lead if it is the right one for the job.As for the heater itself, well after burning off the new smell, I have found it heats the room I wanted to heat fantastically. No bad smells, no creaking or groaning, no loud timer clicking, (I THINK I heard it when I turned the TV off and sat in silence, not sure though)The switch to turn from manual to timer operation is small, but easy to operate. The thermostat itself is a tad sensitive, the lights to show it is heating do cycle on and off quite regularly, but that is the thermostats purpose, to maintain a constant temperature, just ignore it once you have got the room to your desired temperature. The thermostat is calibrated from zero to six, I set it at just below two and it heats my small 3.3m x 3m den perfectly.As for the manual timer, I think this is an advantage over an electronic one. An electronic one will have a tiny PCB and LCD, both mounted on to something designed to throw out a lot of heat. This amount of heating and cooling could POSSIBLY cause premature failure of an electronic timer. The manual timer should be more robust.There have been quite a few negative reviews about this particular heater, I am not saying that people have not experienced some problems, but I think there was some pickiness going on there, especially relation to the manual/timer switch.This was bought to replace a cheap heater from a Chinese brand, the difference is like night and day, or lukewarm and hot.All in all, this is a fantastic heater and I would recommend it to everyone that needs such a heater.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent heater. Very heavy but rolls well on wheels. Warms even a large room well.
This is a fantastic heater. Excellent heat output, with three main settings plus a dial so that, for each of the three main settings, you can further adjust heat output.Mostly I heat a bedroom but this can heat my big living room if I put it on an hour or two in advance. I got the biggest one and in truth the next-smaller one would have been enough.The heater is quite heavy. It rolls easily on carpet but if you have to lift it even a bit, beward of the weight. The casters are definitely strong enough.Careful of the casters, as they fold in and out. You fold them out when you first set up the unit. I've had one fold back in when I was pulling the heater over an uneven surface. If you're moving it on an even surface, the casters are strong and don't fold in.I've not yet used the timer function because you need to keep in turned on all the time for the timer to work. And I always turn it off at night, and often for a few hours in the day. So that timer isn't very useful for me.An excellent heater. Pricey, but it works well. I got this to replace a cheap 30-quid heater that I returned because the heat output was so low you could put your hand on it even on the highest setting. This heater, by contrast, heats wonderfully well. if you can afford it, you'll not regret getting this.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Radiator
Throws off heat very quickly and gets the place nice and warm. I use when I just want to heat up the one room I am working in without heating the entire house. Really well built easy to use and quick to heat up. It is heavy but wheels around easy enough
1.0 out of 5 stars The heater is not build properly and the parts are not joined together
I’m very disappointed with this heater. All the inside coils have uneven gaps (photo attached), which seems like a factory defect. Because of this, it doesn’t work efficiently and fails to heat properly. I wasted my money and time on this purchase. I expect a refund as this product does not meet basic quality standards.
