DeLonghi Convection Panel Heater, Full Room Quiet 1500W, portable electric heater is freestanding/easily wall mounted. Energy Saving, quick heat distribution, timer, asphalt gray, HCX9115E

I based my decision about buying this heater on reading the reviews posted here. So, here is my review now that I own it. I was looking for a small heater to augment the house wide forced air system that heats our basement. I wanted to bring the basement temperature up about 3 to 5 degrees to make it closer to the temperature in the rest of the house. I was not sure this unit could do that and am pleasantly surprised that it can. Here are the specifics ... - The area that I wanted to boost the temperature in is located in the basement - the area is about 670 square feet. - The basement is below ground on three sides - Walls are 10" thick reinforced concrete with an inner wood stud wall filled completely with 3-1/2" thick spray foam insulation ... The basement is very "tight." - Forced air ducts supply three diffusers in the space but this ductwork cannot get the room above 66 degrees. - I wanted the DeLongi heater to get the room up to between 68 and 70 degrees. Results: - Set on the HIGH setting with the fan, I can get the room up to 68 degrees after about three hours and it remains at 68 degrees. When I had the heater set to 69 degrees, it took five hours to get the room up to 70 degrees and then it held that a steady temperature. (The outside temperature was about 24 degrees at that time.) - Not sure yet what the impact will be on the electric bill. - Very pleased that this heater is so effective. - The modern, sleek design fits right into the room and looks great. - I plan to mount it on the wall when additional construction work is done in the room. Packaging - The heater arrived in perfect condition. Unlike another review that I read, Amazon packed it in an outer shipping box that provided extra needed protection for the unit during shipping. Bottom Line: Very pleased with the quality, design and effectiveness of this little heater. It works well to augment the heat in a room of over 600 square feet.

We bought this a year ago to act as auxiliary heat in our 950 sqft house. We run wood heat, but on days it's not quite cold enough to justify a fire, we set this and it can very adeptly heat our entire house. I have been routinely impressed with this heater. It's slim, very quiet on eco mode, and I reckon it's on par with the cost of central heat for the same use. Eco mode does appear to be energy efficient, per my utility bills. On occasion, we run it through the night on eco mode to keep the chill out and have relied on it entirely on days where starting a fire wasn't an option. 5 stars for warmth, reliability, efficiency, and noise level. It's also decently attractive and low profile in our house.

After some research, I chose this DeLonghi slim style heater for our 14' x 20' den. There is a 12' wide double sliding door unit that leads to the backyard, and it makes heating this room with our oil burner/baseboard heating system a bit of a challenge. I purchased this heater, not so much to reduce our heating oil bills, but to make this room, where we spend most of our time, more comfortable during the winter months (which are VERY cold here in NY). I've had this heater for only 2 days, and here are my preliminary observations: 1) After reading about "tempering" the heater before first use, I ran it on the highest setting outside for about 3 hours (I read that this helps to burn-off whatever lubricant the manufacturer uses to keep these from rusting while stored in their warehouse). People complain about a smell from these heaters, and this "tempering" seemed to do the trick. There was still a minor smell, but not a problem. You may want to run this heater outside or in a garage for more hours than I did. 2) The look and style of this heater is awesome (of course, that is very subjective). It's pretty large, but has a very thin footprint, so placement near/against a wall works very well, and makes it fairly unobtrusive. It does not get hot to the touch. 3) My first concern was that I only have one wall outlet located within reach of the 6' power cord. It's a 15-amp circuit, which would be ok for this heater if it's the only thing on the circuit. However, I have a few lights, and my home theater system (TV, a/v receiver, cable box, and powered subwoofer) on the same circuit. I plugged in the heater, pressed the power button (half-expecting to trip the circuit breaker), but it didn't trip. I progressed through the modes on the heater, and kept the highest heat setting (plus fan) on. Everything went well through yesterday and today...no power issues...and I continue to check the power cord and connection at the outlet, and they are not warm at all. I will be getting a price from an electrician to run a separate 20-amp line to the den, specifically for the heater, but for now, all seems good. 4) Now for the main thing...the heat. Everyone's home is different. Everyone's room application for this heater is different. Our den is not the best insulated room, and that "wall of glass" does not do a great job of keeping the cold out. That said, I placed this heater at one end of the room, set the thermostat on 82, and let it run on high. The heater, even with the fan blowing, took at least an hour to start to take the edge off the cold in the room, and after a couple of hours, the room was comfortable...not super-warm...comfortable (which is all we are looking for). That was last night when the outside temp was around 25 degrees, and today, with 15 degree weather, the same heater setting took a little longer, and didn't quite heat the room as well...but it definitely helped. From what I understand, these convector heaters are not designed to heat a space very quickly. If that's what you want, I suggest checking out quartz heaters. I hope this helps. Good luck.

My central air heating broke down and at the worst time - at the start of my 5 day holiday weekend and this weekend was one of the coldest at below freezing. I ordered this immediately Friday morning and was able to receive it Sunday so was able to salvage some of my time off. It’s quite big but very thin. If you mount it on the wall, it would be best but having it stand is not too bad. It’s because there is a wide surface area, that makes the heat so instant because as soon as I turned it on to 76 degrees and mid- level, not even on high, I felt the heat. This made my room so toasty but my room is very small at 200 sq feet so not sure sure about bigger rooms but I felt this was an improvement over my central air since it is so big that it protrudes out of the wall and very noisy that I have to turn up the volume on my TV. This system made no noise whatsoever that I was scared it’s not working. I ordered the sister companion oil-filled radiator just in case and I don’t think I need to turn that on. That one is smaller and took a while to warm the warm up but it eventually it worked fine. What’s nice about that companion is the large wheels and make it very mobile if you need to move it around but it should come with a longer extension cord for mobility since you cannot use these things with an extension cord. You can, but it would require the extremely thick yellow generator cable which will take up a lot of space. The only thing I don’t like for this product are the buttons on the side which are very hard to see and use. On the floor, I have to kneel down to access. Would have been better on the top for sure and a remote would be nice, too.

DO NOT BUY THIS HEATER. I rarely feel so strongly, either pro or con, that I bother to write a review of my frequent purchases. This is an exception. I received my unit on 1/28/18 and, once I’d taken two minutes to figure out the simple operating instructions, was very happy with it….for about two months, until I got the dreaded “Ht” warning. There was nothing obstructing the unit; it’s a malfunction. I called DeLonghi customer service on 4/17/18. The agent was very helpful and, in fact, acknowledged that this is a known problem with the heater. He needed my purchase date and price. The next instructions were to send a photo of the power cord after I’d cut it off the heater. Easy enough. Now they will ship a new unit which I’ll receive in 10-14 days. Not so great, since this is my primary heat source. And no word about disposing of the malfunctioning unit, which could be an issue. However – and this is my biggest warning – the warranty will not restart with the new unit. That means that if I get a series of malfunctioning units, I am S.O.L at the end of the original warranty period. Shame on DeLonghi for continuing to take people’s money for a heater they know doesn’t work! Side note: I also have a DeLonghi espresso maker that I really like, but it has some glitches as well. I can work around them, but it makes me think that perhaps DeLonghi has systemic issues with their electronics. I will update my review after the second heater has been in use for a while. MAY 10 UPDATE: I received the replacement unit yesterday, over 3 weeks from my initial complaint. My warranty was still ticking away during that time. DeLonghi had told me that the HCX9115E was not in stock, so I was offered one of two different units -- an oil-filled unit (which I declined) and an older style convection heater (which arrived yesterday). It is a joke. Must be a 1980s model. It has no thermostat, so now "when the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob slowly counterclockwise until you hear a click". REALLY?! That's @#$%ing handy!!! Also, to set the timer, I now get to use the dial with pins for 30 minute increments, pushed in or out to indicate on or off. Reminds me of the timer I have for my garden sprinkler (which has no power). It is extraordinarily low tech. Obviously there's a reason both units I was offered in exchange sell for significantly less than the HCX9115E. I've not yet had the pleasure of using this obsolete POS since spring has come to California but it won't change my mind once I do. Bottom line: I am extremely disappointed in both the product and the service. I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM DeLONGHI AGAIN AND I SUGGEST NO ONE ELSE DO EITHER. CRAPPY PRODUCTS AND A USELESS WARRANTY/REPLACEMENT POLICY. Save your money and frustration and get a better brand.

6 month review. 4/11/2018 DeLonghi HCX9115E (unit) Please read all this review. This heater has changed my way of living with heavy garage traffic usage. I insulated my two car garage (for about 180 bucks) and found my own special way to mount it to the wall studs near the entrance to the attached garage. I covered all walls with expensive decorative 4x8 sheets 1/4th inch, to ensure fire protection. Its plugged into a 20 amp outlet i ran near it. I keep perishables and water along a wall of shelving on the far side of the garage. "Emergency food" in previous years the freezing conditions eventually explodes the product or causes it to freeze. Or makes your garage unbearably cold! If you pull your car in it releases a lot of stored heat, and the unit must kick back onto full blast to reheat. Like opening your front door to the house. I keep it on power saving mode and this has been "on" for over 6 months straight through winter. It kept my entire 2 car garage about 50-65 degrees. But set for 65 during winter in Ohio. Even when it was -8 outside it still performed admirably. Although it is not enough BTU's nor is it designed for this usage but has passed my "test" of doing 'passive power saving heating' this recent winter stress test has really proved to be a strong unit. It has dual fans on the sides pushing airflow in, allowing more heat out the top. Sometimes these fans are off, or on depending on demand. During extreme cold times I select a mode that allows it to draw ALL the power it wants..the 1500 watts. Max power usage and fans on. Obviously this will use a lot of power. There are 10 options :4 Power saving modes (4th has fan on) :4 Energy full draw modes (4th has fan on) :on :off There is also a timer however I have not used this option. You can set the temp desired and energy mode is complete silence. Full draw is obviously a fan full speed type mode. louder.. Most heater units have a internal coil like an electric stove and a fan placed in front and when there "on" its like your microwave on drawing heavy wattage. This unit has a thin strip of mica or rock like substance in the middle with coils running along the axis, heating the coils causes heat transfer to the "mica", a very consistent heating, the air lofts up through it and out the top allowing cold/warm exchange. Be sure you do not expose this top part to paper or insulation or plants or pictures (i covered my wall with full sheets) as the heat is about 90-110 degrees but distributes heat quickly. Placing this unit in your living room is ideal but be sure your outlet is a 20amp as this is suggested. Leaving this on all winter will likely reduce the amount your heater is running and may even trick your thermostat thinking the house is warmer then it is. This unit can be placed behind a couch on provided stands or on a wall with struts on the carriage (I used a 1/2x4x48inch poplar wood along studs 15 1/2 centers, level, screwed in. Then this is screwed into the wood allowing mounting between studs using very high quality "star" bit screws, i threw away the provided screws as they were inferior.). At the top i used provided mounts however....... I zip-tied the holes to the grill because the mounting holes are VERY difficult to align to the unit. They ask for 24 and 5/8ths or something ridicules to get right on, so the zip ties allow easy install. ***Perhaps largest rooms or entry ways during thanksgiving or busy visiting cold times is best***. it may be best suited for office entrances like Doctors offices, or entryways during winter. This does not BLAST heat into the room but is a passive heater. Do not expect more. it will adjust the heat neded based on incoming temperature. Thanks all for reading to the end i hope this helps! Thumbs up please!

Thank goodness it is attractive as it is on the big side of things. The heat output is good , particularly with the fan on. I do see that when the fan is on it tends to cool the air somewhat in the process. Perhaps you should start on HIGH with fan then put back to #3 setting convection only. The display is useless as it is so dark you can't see the symbols in " lowish " light without a flashlight. Seems to me the cord should have been placed on the opposite side of the unit, it's odd you have to spin it around and look at the back in certain placements. The faint electronic buzz doesn't bother me. I'm calling DeLonghi now to see what they have to say about the fan giving up. I am an accomplished electrician so- Heed the warnings -NO EXTENTION CORDS EVER-Mommy Dearest. Keep the area clear around the unit so air may circulate, the fan intake is below the control panel so watch out for this particularly! I will update this once I've got the fan issue sorted. Thank you other reviewers for your thorough and correct assessments both pro and con. Update 11/21/22- AMAZON sent out a replacement at no charge ( I must return the defective one or pay). Great radiator! Heats the big living room well and the fan makes a huge difference!! No issues with this one I love it. Amazon you did great.

I'm not a review writer but I am about this product. This unit is solid and the quality is excellent. This is not some china off brand. It is more expensive than other comparables, but you get what you pay for. The heating and touch control perform very well. It took me buying a lesser priced unit (which I returned) to really appreciate this one. Five stars.

Lo pongo a 75 y calienta perfecto puedo dormir sin playera y me siento como en hotel. No es ruidoso, lo puedes dejar prendido toda la noche en la version eco Me encanto, muy estetico!

Lo Utilizo en una habitación de 3 x 5 Metros, Lo Coloco al centro de la habitación donde esta la sensación térmica mas fría, buena calefacción en el nivel 1 eco en todos los grados, cuando lo configuras para determinar los grados seleccionas los grados mode ajustas al máximo y pones eco Enciende el Ventilador una vez que llega a la Temperatura enciende el Nivel 3 Rojo- 2 Amarillo 1 Verde, En el Nivel 3 y 2 después emite un sonido al encender las celdas que es constante, para aprovechar lo silencioso lo utilizo en el nivel 1 solo subo la temperatura. Cumple para Mantener agradable la temperatura de la habitación 19-20 grados cuando en el exterior esta a de 0 a 2 grados.

Used to supplement the heat in our basement sitting room. Don't know it is there unless we pull out the plug, it runs so quiet not like the fan heater we used to have.
