Beautiful, not the best design for function though
This is the most beautiful space heater known to man. I want to put it on a pedestal in the middle of the room so everyone can stare at it. I want to make it small and wear it around like a little hat, or take a picture of it and carry it in my wallet. What I do *not* want to do is wait for the thing to heat a room.
Dont get me wrong, it heats just fine. But the heat goes straight up. Which is generally not where a person is located unless, like me, you are hovering over the thing trying desperately to get warm before hopping into icy sheets at night.
The heat just drifts out of it, doesnt blow in any direction, making your ceiling very warm I'm sure, but not terribly effective unless you want to turn the thing on an hour before ... Read More
Not the Best, But It's Pretty!
I bought it for its looks. I'm sick of having to look at those beige/tan radiators. Looks it delivers. It heats pretty well. The only real drawback is the noise. When it cycles on, it hums, and then clicks when it cycles off.
Terrible product
Bought first one, worked great for about 3 weeks, looked good. I really liked the soft heat without a fan. It stopped working properly, thermostat wouldn't go past the minimum setting. I exchanged it for another. Second one lasted 3 days and stopped working. I will not buy anything from this mfr. again.DeLonghi HR715 Retro Convection Heater
Quiet, but WEAK...
I needed a heater that was perfectly silent, so my woman could sleep. I had to return three of them. Thank you, Lowes, for your patience.
The fourth one was a Delonghi HR715. It filled the bill as far as being totally silent. But it put out about as much heat as a toaster. I can put my hand on top of it, and not get burned even slightly. Toaster BTU's, from a box the size of a small suitcase.
My Holmes Quartz heater puts out at least five times as much heat, as reported by my shins. The problem is that both labels state that they consume 1500 watts of electricity. If the Delonghi really is pulling 1500 watts to produce the heat of a toaster, it will never get plugged in again at my house.
Don't do it. This thing is bad news.
I bought this heater and returned it because it did not work properly and the advertising is misleading. Regardless of the temperature setting, it shut off only minutes after being turned on. The photos of it are deceptive. In the photos, the finish appears chrome. In reality, it's a metallic metallic grey finish on the sides, with chrome feet, top and ends. There is no "vintage cloth cord." Instead it has a thick black plastic cord. It's poorly made, feels cheap and has sharp edges on the feet that WILL scratch wood floors. Make no mistake, this heater will leave you cold.
