Made way too much noise for an oil filled heater. It sounded like Gremlins were trying to break out of it. I returned it.

Very warm and quiet. We use it in our unheated cabin bedroom in Northern MN and it really keeps the chill at bay. The only thing we noticed was the timer was preset and turned off automatically after a few hours.

First one should understand that 1500W always produces the same amount of heat (that is, 1500 W) regardless of a model, brand, or heater type. Fifteen 100W bulbs will do the same. Is 1500W enough depends mostly on (a) the size of your room, (b) how much warmer you want your room with respect to the ambient temperature, (c) quality of your insulation. What heaters differ about is the way they transfer the heat to the air. Oil radiators are in that respect slower than fan heaters because they first need to heat themselves. Also, after that, hot air in oil radiators is mostly emitted upwards, and not so much sideways, so it may take longer to heat lower portions of the room. So why go with oil radiator? Two reasons: (1) possible quiet operation and (2) they are safer to leave unattended. Not all oil radiators are quiet. I had one in a hotel room (not DeLonghi) and it would sound like an egg being fried. Not so with TRV0715T. It really is quiet. The reason to get this particular model is the timer. Timer is really easy to use. We use it to get the bedroom warmer just before going to sleep and in the early morning (before we get up). That is, one needs a timer when one wants to have the room colder at some times and warmer at others. If you need constant temperature, then you don't need a timer, but just the thermostat (which all models have). We had this radiator for less than a month, so cannot say about the long-term reliability. Also, did not own other oil radiators to make absolute comparisons.

I owned 2 of these heaters many years ago, so I assumed the quality would still be there.NO! I returned it as it didn't work properly-if at all. Read all of the reviews before buying. If I had I would not have wasted my time.

Heats as advertised. Worked really well in my downstairs area. I bought this and another unit for my whole house (3 stories). I have been able to lower my thermostat 3 degrees by adding this unit and the Dimplex CS3311 Compact Electric Stove. So it has been better than expected. The only downside is that I wish they had a handle on both sides to eas the carrying when moving.
