Amazon.com Review
Banish the chills this winter with the energy-efficient Safe Heat Oil-Filled Radiator from industry leader, DeLonghi. Solo, the quiet radiator serves as an alternative heat source in small and medium rooms. The 110-volt radiator also complements a central heating system, bringing warmth to high-use areas while the main system runs on low for more cost-effective heating. The radiator construction features rustproof metal for even heat distribution and resilience with pure diathermic oil completely sealed inside. Heat radiates through several vertical thermal tunnels while keeping the hot elements enclosed and out of the reach of fingers and other body parts and objects. Three power settings allow flexibility for diverse rooms and personal heating needs. For energy efficiency, the heater runs low at 600 watts or medium at 900 watts to slowly spread warmth. On high at 1500 watts, the radiator brings full heat to the room with extra speed. Users direct the room's temperature for comfort with an adjustable thermostat. With a 24-hour programmable timer, the heater offers 96 options in terms of temperature, wattage, duration, and activation time. An antifreeze function engages should the indoor temperature fall below 44 degrees F, while the heater also automatically shuts off upon knock-over or overheating. Four wheels enable easy transportation from one room to another. The power cord wraps around for storage. DeLonghi advises against placing the radiator too close to power outlet, outdoors, or near flammables. Avoid running the power line under carpets. Thorough safety guidelines and assembly instructions are included. The radiator weighs 23 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

 Some actual performance measurements December 2, 2006

Just bought this, still deciding whether to keep it. Ran a little experiment, thought it might give folks an idea of what to expect.
Room size: 154SF (11x14)
Finished, unheated basement room, with one insulated external wall, the rest uninsulated interior walls. No windows, door closed.
Outside temp: 15F
Put heater in center of room
Put thermometer on a desk 6 feet away
Started at 10:20AM with a cold heater set on high, measured for 5 hours
10:20AM 49.6F
11:20AM 55.9F
12:20PM 59.9F
01:20PM 62.6F
02:20PM 64.4F
03:20PM 65.8F
So roughly 2 hours to raise the temp 10F, 4 hours to raise the temp 15F
Unfortunately, I suspect that none of the competing electric heaters would do significantly better, since they're all limited to 1500W. Since I'm reluctant to try a fuel-burning heater in an unventilated space, I may stick with this Delonghi and call it good enough.
Nice value - but offgasses too much January 20, 2007

I've had an old Delonghi oil-filled space heater for 15 years or more. It had a recall on the control panel. The last few years it has been leaking oil on high setting. So I searched and decided on the newest version of the old Delonghi.
This is a good product with easy control and a clever timer feature (took me a while to figure out, though - NOT obvious, and I'm reasonably bright and handy!).
Only complaint, and it is fairly serious: when new, it stinks when run on high setting, which is only 1500 watts, after all.
There was a paper in the packing that said to expect some off-gassing at first. Well, I've run the thing for 5 days on high heat and it still smells toxic when running on high heat. The paint finish gives off some sort of fumes for days and days. I still cannot stand to run it on the high setting indoors at all. It really smells bad - like curing oil-based paint.
It really stinks! I've been running it in the basement and it still is not nearly acceptable for indoor use.
I trust I will eventually be able to use it in an actual room. I'll give it five more days of blasting away. I may have to send it back. It is pretty heavy, though; I'd lose a lot of money on the deal from shipping costs.

This is not my first Delonghi Oil Filled heater purchase. I am now the proud owner of 2. The TRD0715T is another keeper. Not as fancy as the DR-18T model but still does the job. We keep the setting on low wattage and very low heat. It's not that cold here yet (35-52degrees outside) but we don't want the furnace running yet. The 17x15 room is at 72degrees all evening long. The heater does take time to heat up and I recommend starting on the high settings. Once your ideal temperature is reached, cut it back, sit back and enjoy the warmth with out the high expense. The thermostat in the heater is off only by a few degress keeping the temperature consistant.
Last winter we supplemented with one heater. The differance in the electric bill was minimal. It's nice to be warm when everyone else is wrapped in blankets.
Beginning a second winter with ours. Here's the scoop! September 25, 2007

Here's a review from the perspective of having used one of these for an entire winter. I bought one of these a year ago so we could set our natural gas heat on a very low temprature at night during the winter and still keep the master bedroom warm. Here are my observations.
1. It performed flawlessly and was so quiet we wouldn't even know it was there.
2. The timer is what sold me on the unit. 24 hours divided into small time intervals which may each be turned on or off give huge flexibility in when this heater runs and doesn't. It's on automatically only when you want it on.
3. The heat comes out the top. The sides stay very "cool" for a heater. I can put may hands on the sides for about a half a second, which means that touching the heater accidently on the sides probably won't cause a burn. It really seems to be built with safety in mind.
4. I would, of course, still follow the directions with regard to how close it is placed to other objects. As an additional safety measure, I bought a large, thick ceramic tile to put on the carpet, and then I put the heater on the tile.
5. There is an oily smell that seems to come from the heater when it is new out of the box and after being turned on for the first time after being in storage for the summer. When we first activated ours two nights ago we smelled it, but tonight not so much.
6. Some seem to have had build quality issues and I can't comment on that because we seem to have received a good one.
7. I live in the Pacific Northwest where the winter temperatures rarely get below 30 degrees. I know in some places it gets way colder than that, and I have no idea how well this heater would keep you warm under those circumstances.
8. Right now we're running it in the family room to see if we can leave the electric baseboard heaters off for the winter. Of course, if this experiment succeeds, we'll have to buy another one of these heaters for the bedroom.
9. I have two small children, and once I've explained to them that they need to stay away from it, I have no safety worries for them.
So far, this is far and away the safest, quietest, and most effective space heater I've ever owned. For me, it sure beats a box with glowing orange heating elements and a fan!
Postscript: I bought a second one. When you are unpacking it, beware that there may be bits of styrofoam down in the heater. Look for those and get them out of there before you power it on for the first time. That may save some you some stinky fumes, but still follow the directions and let it run on full power with a lot of ventilation for at least two hours or more. I bought a second unit and ran it for three hours with the window open.
Second Postscript: Well, we bought a second one to see if it was more efficient than the baseboard heaters in our family room. We turned the baseboards off and ran this heater using the timer to have it be on about six out of every twenty four hours. Surprisingly, our electric bill this December was significantly higher than last December, and this is about the only thing different about our energy consumption. So, that experiment seemed to have failed, and then the timer on the second heater failed only ten weeks after we purchased it, so I took it back to where I bought it and decided to take a credit instead of a replacemet. I still love having the one in the bedroom for those cold winter nights though.
Great but timer is noisy November 26, 2005

Great heater, very simple, and does the job it's supposed to do. Other reviews explain more in detail, but globally it's not disappointing heating-wise.
BUT... BUT...
If you room is silent, and if you have a tendency to hear "little noises", then you will hear the timer doing "tic-tac-tic-tac...".
I returned the heater after a week because I couldn't sleep with that noise.
NOTE: not all the people will hear it. Again, I'm pretty sensitive to noises.
