How can you possibly have an almost 15 minute video reviewing a space heater? Brevity is not our enemy.
I have two of these but the larger model, 2500 watts - it saved me last winter here in the U.K. - I live in an apartment that must have one of the most expensive to run heating systems ever, wet (radiators) fully electric system. Last winter on a bad day my electricity bill could be as much a £22 - $28 per day, even on the best days it was around £15 per day. I bought 2 of these heaters and it reduced my bills to around between £5 and £7 per day.
I've had the larger version of this model for about a week and a half and I'm really happy with it. It provides radiant heat to all of my one bedroom plus study apartment (internal spaces combined about 54 square meters) with the heater sitting in the main/largest living room which is open to the kitchen. I have a reverse cycle air con that's 2200-2400W but prefer using the heater hands down. It provides a much more pleasant, consistent warmth throughout my entire apartment and does this quickly so I can turn the settings to low at about a 3 on the thermostat to maintain a comfortable temp. The heater is all-round more cost effective because of this. I have 2 cats too so the safety of the outer casing not getting dangerously hot to touch even on the highest settings is brilliant. I'm yet to use the timer as I wasn't quite sure how to use it. This has been a really helpful review to understand what the features do and how to use them. Thank you.
Edit: I forgot to add that I'm in Sydney, Australia where the current temp is between 8 and 18 degrees and will become a few degrees cooler over night as we head into the thick of our Winter.
Amazing info. Thank you!
Nice, I bought my house a couple years ago and found this heater in storage. Didn't know how to use it, but now I do. Thank you!
I like that there's no loud beeping or bright lights.
Yea definitely a perk!
This is a solid heater. Got me through my masters program and is now saving my winter on account of the price of natural gas.
I have one very similar but it is at least 26 years old because my parents had it before I was born. It works great in our room over the garage and will keep it nice and toasty even on below freezing nights
What brand & model ?
@@MarkHicks326 DeLonghi serial number 89-26 TYP 3107. Pretty sure it was made in 1989. Sounds like there was a big recall right before this model came out.
I have a Magnum...awesome heater...I purchase this model for a rental room in my home.
Thank you for this review....good job....very through....That timer is awesome once one can wrap their minds around the directions.
This is a safe heater with excellent output....
Thank you so much for this video. I have had mine for over 6 years and had no idea how to operate the timer. Finally thanks your video I do now!
Glad to hear it. The timer is quite useful even if the design is a bit crazy
One of the best reviews or explanations in the entire web!
Thanks!
Thank you for such detailed demo! I didn’t know how to use timer and your explanation was really very good!
Glad it was helpful!
Many thanks for this. So much more helpful than cut 'n' pasted manufacturer's blurb by boxshifters.
Absolutely agree...bravo.
I know this is an old video but thank you. I have one similar from around 2013 and I could not remember what the dial part did 😂 so thank you for the information and yes, seems like a good thing to have if I needed that feature
Thanks for the very detailed review. I think I will go get one now.
I have four of these heaters and they work great!
We’ve had one since I can remember and we use it as an emergency heater in case the furnace goes out
My Comfort Zone Oil Filled Heater goes on and off repeatedly sometimes it goes off completely never coming back on again. I'm afraid this could cause a fire one day. Does anyone have any recommendations or a fixable solution for this?
I love it. I does the job of keeping me warm.
Hello! Can I not have on a timer by moving the little teeth inward to keep on and instead just use the off and on nob whenever I want to use it without using timer? thank you
I have this. I thought of something maybe I'll put eco fan on top to blowing entirely. Also, I wish clock time should have a battery back up as I live in a rural area always power outages for me to reset constantly. This is wonderful for my bedroom as I'm always using woodstovefires in livingroom and took so long to have furnace thermostat reach low to start heating until late morning. This heater is helpful to heating my bedroom while sleeping.
Fan is a smart idea!
This was excellent even though I have a different model - TRD40820T. You explained better than the instruction manual I have. The model I have (received today - I'm in Ireland) appears to have additional features to yours. It would make my life simpler if you had those, which I'm still working on. It would be nice to know what temps the figures 1 to 6 represent. I thank you for the clear timer explanation.
Thanks for the feedback
@@HelpAtMyHome You're welcome.
Hi there yes this tutorial was a great help. Many thanks. I too have literally just received the 40820. I don't want to trip the electric so have set the timer to override & just to feel the effect ( it's warm here today) set the power level to min with thermo 2, I'll gradually increase once colder weather comes. Don't think I'll ever push to max though however chilly it gets. I've had at least 4 Dimplex eco versions over the last 6 years all have now failed . Lots of luck with yours. p.s. Just wish the lead was longer!
Thanks, was not sure how to set the timer up. Mine was set to all being on and I did not know how to change, in and out, easy now.
Glad to hear it. Best of luck with the heater
Thank you for teaching!! Great!
Great review, thanks and you're relaxing to listen to haha
Thanks!
Hi there, just a quick question. When powered on does the timer always rotate, even if there's no desire to use it? If yes, I'm wondering if a constantly moving part will last 10 years, and if it did break (stopped rotating) would the heater still work.
Yes it keeps moving. And it seems to be quite reliable. I’d be more more concerned with the heating element than this piece
@@HelpAtMyHome ok, thanks for the reply.
I bought one yesterday but it didn't heat up, I'm not sure how to use it. Can someone please help me get the heat up,
I like my older all metal DeLonghi that heat comes from all sides of the unit. These ones made that are cool to the touch on the sides just do not generate or make use of the heat.
The best heater ever
How do you TURN OFF the timer, in other words, I get to my workspace…I want it on and to stay on, until I leave in which I unplug it. Did not know about the timer and I don’t want it. How do I disable timer?
Turning all the tabs to On would accomplish this no?
I have dragon digital is it not safe to sleep next too, it’s a feet away from my feet below window, I put it there now as base board heater costed me a lot last year and I need to twist knob 3 quarters in order to turn on
Thanks for this
The explanation is a bit confusing regarding the thermostat and timer.
Firstly does the thermostat tell the temperature of the room or just the radiator.
Secondly if thermostat tells temp of room does that mean the heater cycles on and off after dropping temp to get back to the desired temp if timer is not used
Don't force the little tab on the time arrow 😃
This unit is probable better if you have children . But for me i like the exposed radiator fins cause i like to throw wet damp towels,wash cloths ,pants , shirts .to warm them up before putting them on. And i like to just hover over the fins and feel the heat from all sides not just whats coming out of the top
Thanks for this! Just wondering why you recommend at the end to not sleep with it on in the room?
thank you.
I had one similar I hated them little plastic things needless to say mine broke I had like 3 oil heaters though they all broke one worked but i had to plug and unplug it i just bought another one a pelonis if i get 2 years out of it ill be happy.
Great review. The only thing I wish you had addressed is energy efficiency. How much electricity does it use?
Great suggestion!
This review is really helpful! I still have one question about the timer. Once it's set, will it keeping running that program forever or you need to rewind/reset every 24 hrs?
It’ll go on as along as the device stays powered up
Looks nice. Does anyone know. The wattage of the lower power settings?
Thanks for the review. Can you please let me know if its save to run the heater 24/7, I stay in the basement and during winter its gets really cold day / night....
My understanding is that yes this would be ok and better than a ceramic air heater, but you should check with the manufacturer for safety concerns
My question is say its working with full steam and you turn it off how long does the oil remain warm?
2-3 hours
well done
no tear down, no kill-a-watt test, how do you justify it's the best without any comparison or tear down? As far as we know it shuts off at 600 watts due to high temp limit switch.
I used this for months before making this video. I’ll include the killawatt footage next time. It’s very hard to photograph that tiny display!
Thanks Great review
Thanks for watching!
I have this and it's awesome, but the dial is really not user friendly. Is there a newer model? This model also seems to be sold out.
Not that I know of, but I can tell you this model has sold out this time of year for the last 3 or 4 years
@@HelpAtMyHome I was able to get one from Wal Mart last week - now it's gone
What's the max temp. it can make your room go. I have a Morphy Richards and it can't make my room go above 24 deg C
Depends on the room size and ambient temp.
@@HelpAtMyHome let's say 10*12 ft
To me u have to be good on maths or physics ,i want to buy it but the set up part i need pen 🖋 and pepper to write down, that's itself another class 😅
It's only ok for small rooms. You should of got the Best one. Dragon pro 4, 2.5kw. TRDX41025E. THAT IS THE BEST ONE TO BUY
Good tip! Thanks.
Is it efficient ?
Sure. Relative to a fan or ceramic heater
I purchased 2 of these, but 1 of them keeps on making a sound that stays on and it is the timer. Any idea how to fix it?
What sort of sound? The sort of creaking from it being active? That's odd. I'd check that the teeth in the time are fully engaged in the off position. Also the creaky sound can persist for 15 minutes or so after it being off, I believe it's from the convection of the oil inside, not it being on/off.
@@HelpAtMyHome The sound comes from the timer, because when I push in on the dial it goes off then back on again.
@@HelpAtMyHome have same issues as below user , timer wont stop clicking how to fix please ?
@@bernardo1969bs mine too :(
Would this keep a 360sqft room at 72 in the winter?
Theoretically yes, but in practice I’m not sure it could quite pull it off. It would depend on how cold it is, how drafty, and the ceiling height.
I have the same heater - thermostat doesnt work
I bought mine at an auction. How do I attach the casters?
They should fold out. They weren’t attached when you got it I guess?
Would using it in the bedroom warm the whole room?
Depends on the room size. I think this is good for up to 12x12x10 ft rooms
Do you recommend for a garage..?
No. I’d recommend a heated fan for a garage. Heat the person not the space since it’s larger than a normal room.
The sides of my heater are too hot to the touch for kids to be around it.
Try setting it at a lower power setting
They will figure it out the first time they touch it...give them some credit!
Looks nice but it’s quite expensive for a heater ..
It's worth it!!! I have an old Magnum...Model. Still going strong! Designed in Italy...Probably made in China now but hopefully kept the Quality...I'm trying to find the duplicate of it and i think this one is it!
The casters are cheap light weight plastic that didn't last before one of them broke.
I need Spanish subtitles 😩.
Auto closed captions should work. Are they not helpful?
😂
I doubt its stainless steel
Nice overview. What a confusing way to add a timer.
About 80 years ago I remember my grandfather had a clock that worked like this. You could plug something like a coffee maker and have it come on automatically.
Not confusing at all
Shoe me form top
I'm sorry but energy in must equal energy out in a closed system. The relative efficiency of like appliances is only the human perception of one thing being better than another. Electric heat is inefficient because of the conversion of energy from one form to another and its loss do to long distance transmission. So, we are paying the Power companies for the difference in the energy that they transmit to the energy that we actually consume in our houses. Don't be confused by so-called modern ways to heat a house with electricity. Fifteen hundred watt incandescent light bulbs create about the same amount of heat energy as a fifteen hundred watt oil space heater. The light they produce is only a miniscule part of the energy they produce. I find that maintaining at least 30% humidity inside a house during the winter makes the body feel the warmest in dry cold climates without creating mildew. If you feel cold and dry try filling your bathtub with a couple of inches of hot water.
