De'Longhi TRDX41025E Oil Filled Radiator, Dragon 4 Pro

Expensive purchase but value for money. I am not sure how economical it is (noting feels economical with current energy prices) but it heats up our room quickly and we have big windows and tall ceilings! They are not noise and can easily move it around. Has a function which means it switches to eco mode when the room temperature reaches certain amount. I have since bought for my parents and sister.

I am impressed with this heater and appears to be made to a good quality sturdy support legs and a nice clear led display gives out a good supply of heat and if you use the Eco mode the unit itself will select the convenient power option saving energy it also has an anti-frost option where if the temperature drops below a certain level the heater will kick in a great option for over night. The instructions on the timer are not clear but after a couple of trys I managed to work it out plus there are also video's on the Internet showing you how to set the timer and more I have a rather large living room and this heater has no trouble keeping the room at a comfortable temperature and is also economic to run compared to a lot of other heaters you can use the timer and set the unit to come on and off throughout the day there is a buzzer sound when you use the controls but this can be turned on and off but you can't turn the power button beep off however that's not a big issue you can also turn the display brightness up and down a handy feature if used in a bedroom you can also key-lock the control panel to prevent any accidental button activations the unit also has other alarms for safety such as sensor failure it will also switch off if the unit is tipped over but considering the feet extend just beyond the unit it is really stable there is also a temperature cut out if the unit reaches a too high temperature due to something covering/blocking the unit once unpacked and happy I suggest registering the heater with Delonghi for your 10 year warranty although it's early days for me I must say I'm impressed with my new heater and the added bonus is its a nice looking unit that don't stand out and is easy to move around the flat and it's not going to run up a huge electricity bill as my flat is all electric and keeping warm is vital.

This is the second De'Longhi TRDX4 1025E we have recently purchased from amazon (best price on both occasions) and no issues with either regarding transit damage. There is no way we would have purchased another De'Longhi heater if the first one had not met our expectations. This heater gives out an excellent amount of heat and once up to temperature is silent in operation with just the odd slight crack or bong sound when first turned on or when cooling down, as the metal body expands or contracts. The castors make it easy to move from one room to another and it's not to heavy to lift up the radiator if required (for most people). The controls are relatively easy to use and the program mode gives plenty of options, this heater comes with two switches (on/off and Timer) and a control dial and they give further options by either pressing the required switch for a few seconds or a double press for the control dial and then turning the dial etc. This heater warms up fairly quickly although oil filled radiators don't give out instant heat like a fan heater, they are much quieter and don't dry the air out. I would say you need to allow at least half an hour to one hour to heat up a medium sized room. The thermostat works very well and there is an eco setting plus three levels of heat output to help keep the electric cost down. Build quality seems pretty good and the De'Longhi's styling is better than most of the oil filled radiators on the market. We have an old De'Longhi oil filled heater which must be at least 20 years old and still works perfectly, so hopefully this heater will be as reliable. The cable is not very long (for safety reasons and to prevent the plug from over heating) and it would have been better if De'Longhi had wired the cable on the opposite side of the heater rather than on the control side, but overall I would highly recommend this heater.

Looks good in my home. However, arrived with a small dent in two of the upright panels. I could of course return it but I’m fed up dealing with products arriving damaged and having to return them. Also the waste concerns me. It’s minor damage, so I will live with it. The manufacturer should package it better. I feel it needs some polystyrene to protect the sides when packaged. For this reason, I’d suggest purchasing this from a local shop and checking the box before departing the store.Otherwise, the damage niggle aside, it operates as expected. It is silent in operation. It doesn’t emit any smell. I like how the heat is mostly distributed out the top which seems to make it a more comfortable distribution of heat, unlike an old oil filled radiator I had previously been using. The controls for timer etc are not so intuitive, so I need to keep the instructions nearby until I learn them. The heat output is great. The wheels work well for manoeuvring around the home, but the size and weight of the product make it cumbersome to lift to carry upstairs so I wouldn’t recommend this if you would need to carry it regularly. It is good for heating a single room or small area relatively quickly and maintaining that temperature. On the flip side, like all electrical powered heaters it is more expensive to operate than conventional heating such as mains gas powered boilers. So it can be an excellent solution depending on the circumstances.I paid £149. I think this is a good price for the product. I’d recommend it but be aware you may need to return it if you expect it to arrive in ‘as new’ condition. I marked it as 4 stars rather than 5 only because of the damage on arrival and the unintuitive controls which I guess / hope have been improved on the most recent top-end heater DeLonghi have brought out. The newer model is over £200 though, which is out of my budget. I’ll be happy with this once I’ve learnt the controls.
