Another similar heater in case the Delonghi is not in stock: amzn.to/47LCU6C
Use with this thermostat and you can even program it: amzn.to/38uDlqr
This is the best space heater I have owned to date.
Positives:
-It's nearly silent and I slept much better with it in the bedroom than with my prior space heater, which used a fan to blow the hot air around. Each time that would kick in, it would wake me up. This one is very relaxing and nearly silent. It does hum a bit, but only when you are very close to it. From 4 feet away, I can hear nothing.
-It does not dry the air out like my old ceramic based heater did. My eyes are noticeably not as dry now.
-It is quite light in weight so it's easy to move from room to room if need be (oil-filled radiator heaters are very heavy in comparison).
-It looks better than a radiator type heater.
Negatives:
-It does not have a remote control to turn it on/off. This can be alleviated by installing a separate AC remote control. Just make sure it's a heavy duty one.
-The form factor seems a bit strange at first, but you get used to it quickly and it can easily be stowed away against a closet wall or under your bed after winter is over.
The heater works well and once set, is able to maintain the temperature in my room quite nicely. I don't find that I need to fiddle with the controls once it's set to my liking, I only need to turn it on and off. Note too that when it is not actually heating and in standby, it draws less than 1 watt of power, which is nice. There's also a 'anti-freezing- mode that you can set where it will not kick in unless the temperature drops below 41 degrees F. This is useful for basements or rooms where there is piping that you don't want to freeze, yet don't need to keep as warm as room temperature.
DeLonghi seems to have a good product here.

I've had this heater in use every winter since 2014, still works well. I've since added in inline programmable thermostat which I really like: amzn.to/2H5rilU I can keep the room at different temperatures throughout the day and night. Still really liking this space heater! It heats up nearly instantly so you can often just turn it on for a few minutes to heat up a room quickly, without any waiting for the heat.
I agree with this review completely, it is quite (almost silent) very safe, no smell (after the first burn off, but they warn you about that, and you just do a 2 hour run at first at full power, then it is fine), It is recommended that you plug it directly into the wall rather than an extension cord, but it will work with a heavy duty cord if you must. No remote control is a minor inconvenience, but it is so quiet and non-hot to the touch that you can have it almost by your bedside and just reach out from under the covers and adjust it during the night :-)
+Diane Hirshon Thanks for those good tips Diane.
Excellent Review, Great Product...I have one and was going to sell it....after this review...I can't wait until the cold weather tries to come for me...lol Thank you very much for the help.
Truly exceptional reviewer! THANK YOU! Really helped me decide.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the review! I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what heater I should get next (I currently have a fan heater) and this really helps.
This DeLonghi heater does have a noisy relay, at least mine does. It's a Delonghi and same design. The relay is noisiest when it cuts off.
Love mine, warm and easy on electric bill.
I bought one based on this review. Nice job!
I had this heater for like 5 months... Eventually it started making this annoying buzzing sound that's loud... Did you by any chance get that problem... I was very disappointed because it was a great heater that didn't make noise before
I have not had any problems with it since I got it.
Ok.. thanks for the reply ... I'll see if I can get it fixed or just by another one later on
Great Review, Do you know how many amps this unit uses in high and low mode? It would be good to know how much power this will consume.
Not worth the money I am returning mine
@@hnnotyy what didn’t you like?...not warm enough? Let us know, because I was thinking of getting one.
@@romeredubost6971 The Alarm just kept going off, never could get it to shut off, returned and bought a Lasko one all set now no issue with it.
@@hnnotyy thanks for replying. It will be helpful to me making a choice.
Hey, no idea if you'll see this, but one thing I realized after getting this heater was that it was no "fan" or moving of air. So, I was thinking it might work even better if you put a small, battery powered fan next to it to circulate the air in the room and heat it up even faster. Any thoughts on this?
That could certainly help move the hot air around the room faster but this heater is more radiant heating so it works fine without having to use a fan.
I like your observation about this Delonghi HMP1500 Mica panel heater.
My garage some times gets very cold . In last 30 years, I have had three cases of water pipes freezing in the garage wall. Will this heater provide a safety against this freezing. In your commentary, you mention its use in 'garage'. Thanks
It did give off and smell at first but it only lasted for a short time I use it often now and no smell I guess it was because it was new....it is worth it.
I'm wondering if you or any of your subscribers have found a diagram or dismantling video for this heater? Delonghi does not repair them anymore and I have one that has a thermal cutoff switch that is faulty and another that needs a new thermostat. However, I cannot see how the control knobs come off. Appreciate any help.
Sorry, I'm not sure.
radiator is cheaper............... because the oil stays warmer. and longer warm inside.
Nope. Physics tells us it takes the exact same amount of energy to produce a given amount of heat, no matter how that heat is produced. This is why there is no space heater that is any more efficient than other. An oil radiator heater may appear to be nicer in that it seems to retain the heat longer and may be quieter, etc.,, but it also takes much longer to get up to desired temperature whereas this mica panel heater puts out the full heat right away.
@@phototristan My bill tells me wat it takes. Radiator is cheaper on my bill. so it's cheaper.
Are you still using this heater? I bought mine just around the same time you posted your review and it died on me recently. I've had it for about 20 months total, although only used for about 3. It was good, when it worked but seems to have very poor reliability.
+colenso No issues with it here. Still works fine.
@@phototristan How about now in 2022? Are you still using the Mica heater?
Great job with the review, very thorough.
Does it have a silent clicking noise when it turns on and off?
A slight click, yes.
great review, man
thanks for the info. sounds like a good deal.
I'm living in an insulated room 270 sqft with no heat above a friend's garage. Where I live it routinely gets into the teens or below zero. Do you think this could handle that?
I live in a 280 sq ft cottage. Where I live it does occasionally get as low as the singles digits. As the only heat, it keeps the place warm,..and I rarely put it on high setting.
Below zero..with wind?..,you may? need a little supplemental heat at those times, or a sweater.
Should be no problem
Do you think it would keep a garage warm
@@pillaryclinton6187 Yep!
Still liking this heater? I have read some reviews where they fail after a few months use. Thanks for the review ...
Yep, still my top choice in space heater!
phototristan Hi thanks for the fast response …I like it when ppl pay attention their channel here. Liked this, will share …and going to buy one of these and give it a try. All the best in your part of the world.
I bought 2 from amazon 2 years ago.both are working with no issues
($57 just looked at the invoice )
Good review. Thanks
I have two of these and love them. On the 750 watt setting if you turn the dial down to 2 does the wattage you are using go down?
+Donna Boyce The wattage itself will not go down when you adjust the temperature dial. However, at a lower setting, the heater will not actually be on as much.
thanks for the review..... I have electric bass board heating....So..I am looking for other alternative heating that is easier on my electric bill....
The oil filled radiator type heater is what I use because of reliability and reduced power consumption. The manual dial controls seem to last forever unlike the digital parts that fail due to power spikes. I can't say if this new design is better, but I also had a bad experience with an advanced design baseboard heater that burns up components and is unreliable.
Thanks, this is my second year using it...so for it keeps my apartment warm, even on low setting, cutting my bill down.. A lot... And the snow flake setting is a big plus.. When you are away from home a lot.... So far. So good
..thank you... Always good to get more heating ideas..
Those do not use less energy. Physics dictates that for a given amount of heat, it takes the same amount of electricity no matter the delivery mechanism. You might prefer that type of heater since it retains heat longer, but it also takes longer to deliver that heat and more energy initially to load the heat. If you heat the same room with an instant heater to the same temperature for the same amount of time, the energy usage will be the same.
As an alternative to electric base board heating... It does the job....according to my electric bill..
Baseboard heaters burn a lot of electricity
Do you know the temperature range of this model?
I just bought one used for $75 (including shipping), I missed the small print "no legs" so I need suggestions on how to get some legs - any creatives out there w/an idea? I bought this based on your excellent review.
I'd probably just mount it on the wall in that case.
how big of a room does it heat is it direct?
Just got mine and the alarm keeps going off on Max mode and on 6 have to switch it to Min and put it on 4. Think i am going to return this and get another Lasko ceramic heater.
Sounds like you have a worn circuit breaker that is not functioning at full capacity
@@phototristan Impossible brand new building I doubt that is the problem.
Soy mexicana compré un calentador en un mercadito de mi colonia duro 11 años mui bueno tiene un corto circuito como ya era usado quiero saber dónde comprar otro aquí en Monterrey ya que no abia escuchado de esta marca grasias
Amazon
Dear sir can you please recommend me odourless heater please i bought oil filled heater and it smells the worst 😭😭😭 Thank you
This one is completely odorless after the very first initial power up.
Dude, this guy is ripping off your video:

You might want to report to UA-cam...
Thanks, reported.
aschesiegen snitch lol
snitch ass nigga
htboston snitches get stitches lol
Can you tell me how far can it project the heat?
If you are looking at a "save money heater" that heats about 400 square feet like it is nothing and can heat with some time even 600 sq.ft. (some people claim even 800 sq ft or more) very efficiently then the ONLY one under $330, it being under $200 (on sale even as low as $140), is Lifesmart Large Room Infrared Quartz Fireplace in Burnished Oak Finish w/Remote (on amazon). I mentioned the above one specificly because some look the same, but they are different mechanically.. I know that one is the same model I own. The Edenpure coppersmart is good too, but hey (don't get the non copper smart. When you spend above $220, make sure it will last a few years before it dies). That is about $350. I own this. 2 of them. Just got an edenpure too, because it is smaller in footprint. I have this Mica too. It is not even close.. Hell not even 30% of the heating capabilities, but even a bit more on electric cost. The Lifesmart and edenpure would save you more money with a lot more desired heat. This is good for maybe an extra small to small room. It would be perfect for that. Medium sized room only if you are having it on all the time. Large room... Only if it is next to you. Or if you run it 100% 20/7 and have bulletproof insulation that is generally only present in million dollar houses or very old sturdy built houses and/or Apts...
Did your smell real bad when you turned it on
Only the first time. Subsequent times, it's just dust burning off and the smell goes away after just a minute or two.
Nice review but what do you mean by nearly silent?
No fan noise, only slight buzz when on
Had mine for 2 years now. I like how it heats up the room fast. BUT ... what I hate about it is it still has a chemical or burnt metal smell. I just tired of dealing with that smell, so therefore I have decided to look for something else this year. Its hard to breath because of that smell, making it hard to get a good night sleep! I do not recommend this heater at all. *TD for not bring this to others attention!!!*
Put it on high in a garage or something for two hours and that will get rid of the smell, this is in the instructions.
It’s $93 on Amazon now. :(
Still not a bad price.
Where do you live?
At home.
Bought 3 of them , all three stopped working the first week. Company did refund my money, thank you. But they have big problems with them.
That's highly unusual. You probably some sort of electrical wiring issue in your home.
@@phototristan No. 3 year old new home. I have run 3 others since these didn't work. Mica plates. All three run great and regulate on and off with the thermostat. Mica plate heaters are great.
Oil radiators are garbage
nice talk but not technical facts.................. thermometer.. cam.......... start it. and measuring.......... would be nice.
No thanks. I talk real world use, not technical mumbo jumbo.
I heard they only heats about 200-300 square feet. Not too appealing !!
This is good if you don't have a big room.
1500 watts power is the same for any space heater sold. The only change is how it send out the heat. I e a fan or convection so 200 Sq feet is small but sb fine in larger rooms unless you have air leaks. note i have a mild winter too.
@@danc2014 thanks. Can you run these in standard homes.
@@gladheateher4now what is meant by a standard home? The one shown is for home use indoors in 120 V ac power usa. Space heaters heat a room not the whole house so 300 Sq feet is best i use it in a larger room with mild cold climate. if you need whole house heat it will be cheaper to get a house heater. Else you can buy 2 or 3 of these to put in other rooms and pay a larger electic a bill.
@@danc2014 sorry,I baught an RV fireplace,for my rv and want to post it on line. Was wondering if they can be run is a house I meant,not an rv.
How about showing different angles. Show the controls. Don’t talk so much.
LOL good luck with that.
Well, I thought he talked just enough, very informative.
why keep repeating....? i heard same info 2-3 times.... LOL
Because.
