Performance Analysis
Heating Capabilities
In testing, the Delonghi raised room temperature by 8°F within 15 minutes in a 250 sq ft space. The oscillation feature distributes heat 30% more evenly than stationary models according to Consumer Reports testing.
Heat Settings:
- ECO Mode (auto-adjusts between 750W-1500W)
- High (1500W)
- Low (750W)
- Fan Only
Energy Efficiency
The ECO mode automatically modulates power usage based on room temperature, potentially reducing energy consumption by up to 40% compared to conventional heaters. This makes it more efficient than many decorative electric heaters while providing similar warmth.
Smart Features & Controls
Digital Interface
- Backlit LCD display
- Precise temperature control (50-85°F)
- 24-hour programmable timer
Remote Control
The included remote allows full operation from across the room, though some users note it requires direct line-of-sight to function reliably.
Safety Considerations
Delonghi incorporated multiple protection systems:
- Dual overheat sensors
- Automatic tip-over shutoff
- Thermal fuse backup
- Cool-touch housing (never exceeds 115°F)
These features make it safer for households with children or pets than many propane heating alternatives.
Maintenance & Care
The removable rear filter should be cleaned monthly with these steps:
- Unplug the unit
- Remove filter cover
- Vacuum or rinse filter
- Dry completely before reinserting
Who Should Buy This Heater?
Ideal for:
- Bedrooms (quiet operation)
- Home offices (precise temperature control)
- Small apartments (space-saving design)
- Elderly users (easy remote operation)
According to Wirecutter testing, it performs particularly well in rooms with good insulation where the ECO mode can maintain temperature efficiently.
Competitor Comparison
