Tools and Hardware Reviews of DeLonghi DCH2590ER Safeheat 1500W Digital Ceramic Heater with Remote Control - Gray/BlackCustomer Review: Effective and stylish, with a remote! Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good heater for the money - especially if you buy it through Amazon and not Amazon marketplace. (I paid almost $60 for this through the latter because Amazon didn't have it in stock and made no mention of the fact that they *usually* have it in stock for $40 with free shipping. Thanks Amazon, I was good and pissed when I checked a week or two later and saw that I had impressively overpaid.)
Anyway, all that Amazon bulls**t does not ultimately detract from the heater itself, which has functioned rather nicely. I was initially worried after reading other reviews that mentioned it doesn't have an automatic shut-off feature if knocked over - I was worried because it looked easy to knock over! But it's not as skinny and potentially unstable as it might look in the photo, and I'm not concerned with knocking it over anymore. (I might be concerned if I had pets or kids running around though.)
It seems to heat up my studio well, which is a 14 x 15 foot room with a 10 x 10 (roughly) kitchen off of it. This heater can bring the temperature up a few degrees within an hour or so, which is generally what I need. The 'oscillation' feature does indeed seem to help spread the heat and heat up the room uniformly. (The programmable thermostat is a nice feature too - I haven't used it yet, but enjoy having the option.)
And, I like the way this heater looks - kind of like an old vintage-y piece of stereo equipment.
The remote control is what I bought this particular heater for, and it is truly awesome. I seem to recall other reviewers complaining about the remote being hard to use in the dark, etc. Not really. Nor is the fact that it does not indicate what mode you are in a big problem. Folks, there are only three modes! The device always starts in low, goes to high, then to the thermostat-setting mode! Furthermore, the heater sounds different in the low and high modes. It is not hard to use the remote, I assure you. (I do not own a TV, so I don't run into the annoying remote issues that arise with this.)
I understand the complaints that you have to reset your settings (mode & temperature if you use the thermostat setting) each time you turn the device on, but I don't think this is a huge deal. It doesn't take long. (They should, however, have made it so you can keep temperature settings in there though. Stupid.)
In conclusion, I sleep in a loft bed and it is *so nice* in the morning to just turn on the heater for 10 minutes or so before I drag my butt down the ladder and face the day. And when I come home and my apartment is 65 degrees, it's nice to turn this on, start the oscillation, and get this place up to 68, 69 degrees within a couple hours. This was a good buy; I've only had this about a month, so if more thoughts arise, I will update this.
*******
Update: This heater still works great, and the remote still rocks. One complaint: within a few months the heater started creaking while oscillating from side to side. It makes a pretty big racket, so I don't generally use this feature anymore. This was still a great purchase though and has now seen me through two winters very nicely.
