Product Description
The DeLonghi EW7707CM Safeheat 1500W ComforTemp Portable Oil-Filled Radiator will effectively heat any room in the home. The unit is permanently sealed with pure diathermic oil for stable, efficient heating and never needs refilling. Patented thermal slots are specially designed to maximize heat flow yet maintain a low surface temperature. The radiator uses economical ComforTemp technology to save energy and money by automatically maintaining the optimal temperature in the room, at the touch of a button. The heater automatically turns on when the room temperature drops below 44 degrees F with anti-freeze setting. If the heater becomes too warm, it automatically turns off with safety thermal cut-off. The rust-resistant, durable, metal construction has no exposed elements and the gently rounded design means no sharp edges. Patented, premounted, smart-snap wheels ensure portability, safety and stability. Plus, wrap around cord storage lets you store cord when heater is not in use.
We use this heater at night. It does such an effective job of keeping our room at a comfortable 70F (even at lower settings), that we have programmed our central heat thermostat to go down to 60F at night. Of course, the effectiveness of the heater is also dependent on how well your house is insulated.
There were some comments about the heater getting hot to the touch. Well, yes, of course it does - it's a heater! But even at it's highest setting, the metal is not sizzling. It is well insulated enough that you can touch it for a few seconds before it gets uncomfortable - plenty of time for the occasional times you may bump into it. At lower settings - this isn't even an issue.
Why an oil-filled heater? It produces a very gentle heat without drying the air like a conventional ceramic or electric heater.
Why the delonghi? Gentle heat without any sound. We purchased the Honeywell 7-Fin Oil-Filled Radiator Heater as well (they were out of stock of the delonghi), and while it heats fine, it creaks and cracks when you use it. I'm sure this is due to the metal expanding and contracting as it gets warmer and cooler. It's not a huge problem, but if you are a light sleeper, it may be an annoyance.
The only downside I can think of is the wheels. Doesn't roll well on carpet - which is fine, we don't' move it much anyway. But overall, love the delonghi. We've had it for 2 weeks now and I hope it lasts this way for several years.
