I use to have a Delonghi oil filled radiator and it served me for 7 years. My office was not insulated at a decent level, but still, the temperature was quite tolerable because of that useful heating device. And now I bought another product that I want to use at home for the same purpose. It’s a Delonghi TRD0715T oil heater.

This is a convection unit, and it works by drawing the cool air from the room to the warm air of the heating source. These type of units are served for area heating and your entire room should be warm in about 30 minutes. Of course, it all depends on the size of the room and the insulation you have.

A radiator is made out of rustproof and resilient metal that has diathermic oil enclosed inside the structure. The heat radiates with the help of several thermal tunnels that are placed on the top. Other hot elements are enclosed and are out of reach for children and pets. The exterior of this Delonghi oil heater is just like any other radiator.

You get few decent features with this unit, such as 24 hours programmable timer, an adjustable thermostat and three different power settings. You can use 600, 900 and 1500 Watts of power to heat up your rooms. In case the temperature in your home falls bellow 44 F, the oil radiator has antifreeze feature that turns the heater on. I find this to be very convenient and useful. You can’t watch everything by yourself, so it’s great to have some help.To add to this, a automatic shut-off switch is installed, in case the device is knocked off or overheating may occur.

You get wheels with this radiator, just like many others portable heaters have, and a power cord.

I want to remind you about something here, some basic rules that you may not know. But if you do, keep reading them, just so you do not forget them.

Buy a UL listed space heater. If a unit you want to purchase is not UL listed, do not buy it. Turn off the unit whenever you are leaving home. I know that there are safety features installed, but you never know what may happen. It’s better to use the program to pre-heat your room 15 minuts before you come home, than to leave it on during the entire day.

You should keep any object 3 feet away from the heating unit, at all times. And I suggest you do not use extension cords at all. If you must, use them with a power protector. And as a final note, keep the oil filled heater away from the foot traffic. Put it at the side of the room, far away from anything that may hit it or make some kind of trouble.
