Very helpful video. Too make your video appeal to a larger audience perhaps also give temperature in celsius as few if any countries outside the USA still use Fahrenheit and unless they are quite old the viewer has to convert to Celsius. Keep up the good work.
Great suggestion!
Thanks for taking the time showing the actual temperature depending on the settings used. Very helpful as it takes out the guess work.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video. The manual did not explain things very well. I eventually figured it out but the comfort temp I didnt know how that exactly worked. And this video made it very easy. Thanks
Glad it helped
Just purchased the DeLonghi heater. Once received, I was a little confused as to how the comfort mode worked but the manual didn't explain it well (in my opinion). Your video, however, was very helpful along with the questions & comments below it. Thank you, Brenda
Glad I could help!
I was shocked at how poor their owner’s
manuel was. Thank you for posting this!
Thanks Garen for watching.
I just got one, and I have to agree. The manual is terrible.
Bought one today for my workshop. Impressive so far.
Thanks for the info.
Working great in the sub-freezing weather. Bought another to cover the whole workshop.
Excellent video. Thank you. All I was looking for in a short video.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for this easy to understand instructional video. I lost the instructions for my heater. You’re saving me stress and money!
Glad it helped
exactly what i was looking for thank you
Thanks Evelyn for the feedback.
Just got this unit - very helpful video - thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Bought this at a garage sale best heater I’ve ever bought
Thanks for the info.
This is great help. Thank you! Great heater too.
Thanks, we have 3 of the heaters and love them.
Excellent demo ,thanks
Thanks for watching.
I used heaters like this for 12 yrs in 16x12 rooms and it kept them nice and warm.
Thanks for the info!
How many fins did your model have? Would a 9 fin heater be sufficient for the dimensions you mentioned?
Thank you. I have a model like your 'old' model. The controls are not intuitive, figuring them out has been a challenge. Now, I know. Thank you!
Glad I could help.
This was so helpful thank you so much! The instructions were so odd. You saved me :)
Glad it helped!
thank you for taking your time and make this informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
@@Iscaper I just bought one, I love it.
Thank you for the thermostat to temperature comparison. 🤗♥️
No problem!
Very informative, thx for the video!
Glad it was helpful!
Good instructions, thanks a lot
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, that helped a lot.
You're welcome!
I recently purchased this heater, and found this video perfect in informing me how to operate it. So thanks!
One comment on the unit: I am a little disappointed with the wheels. I liked the way they looked, but one issue is the hoods dig into my medium-pile carpet, so it doesn’t move as well as I would have anticipated. You seem like a smart person, so if you have any suggestions on alleviating this issue I would appreciate it. Thanks again.
Hmm, we have wood floors so its not a problem in our house. The only solution I have is lifting the unit when it's cool to the location you want.
Thank you very much!!
Thanks for watching.
I got the 4 vein version today :D
I have 2 older 1s and they work great. When I move then I hear fluid I'm guessing their oil filled. They looked sealed no where to add fluid so I'm assuming you do not have to add fluid. I am impressed with both of them and how well they work.
They are sealed units so you never add oil.
I just purchased the older version (same model #) of this heater an at auction. I plugged it in and it seems to work great . . . takes awhile to heat up . . . but I assume that is pretty normal. My De'Longhi heater does get hot to the touch though! You have to be careful around it after it heats up. Does your do this too? And I assume this was NOT one of the models that was recalled, correct? Thank you for your information!
On higher settings our heaters are hot to the touch.
Thanks for the video. I wanted to ask if a 9 finned heater model would be sufficient to heat up a room 16x13 room ?
I have a 14 x12 room and the heater works nicely in it.
@@Iscaper Hw do you get 600 sq ft from a 14 x 12 foot room ??
@@lyndonp6296 Sorry for the confusion. We have a heater in a 30 x 20 room and another heater in a 14 x 12 room.
thank you, i was wondering myself what exactly the "comfort temp" button did
Thanks for watching.
Thank you sir
Thanks Jeff for watching.
Hello thanks for the video. I've been using mine for roughly a week and i want to use eco mode i press on the button the green light is on "min" and "mid" switches are on and red. The thermostat is set at six but the heater doesn't heat up at all.. It heats pretty good when "eco temp" is off (the green light is off) but when i turn on eco temp it doesn't heat how long do i have to wait for it to heat ?
I don't use Comfort mode because according to the manual:
With the “COMFORTEMP” button and both switches pressed,the appliance is automatically set to reach and maintain what is considered to be the comfort temperature.
A green light comes on to indicate activation of “COMFOR-TEMP”. In this mode the temperature is automatically set only by the “COMFORTEMP”. To deactivate this mode and return to thermostat operation, press the COMFORTEMP button again.
I guess this means the heater determines what the Comfort mode is and automatically sets the temperature. So if you want the temperature higher you have to turn off Comfort mode and use the thermostat dial.
@@Iscaper Thank you for the feedback. It sounds like a useless button all along.
Thanks for the video. Regarding its comfort setting. Is this setting relevant to its thermostat settings?
If you use the comfort setting it bypasses the thermostat control.
😊👍@@Iscaper
i dont understand the thermostat mode 1-2-3-4-5-6-STAR....i want my heater on max when its turn on...i dont use any other functions....dunno what those numbers set
Set dial on thermostat to 6.
Is there any difference between the older and newer models? Can't seem to see any. From what I can see they both turn on automatically when the temperature is too low
Agree, I don't see any differences other than cosmetic.
This clarifies the two switches and the Comfort button. The instructions weren’t clear on this at all.
I should say… the instructions that came with the heater weren’t clear.
Are there any safety precautions I should be aware of? I just moved into a new place and the original owner left it so I don't know very much about it. I would also really appreciate some advice on the oil and how to know if it needs more. Thank you so much for the amazing instructional video!
Heater is not recommended for use in a bathroom, laundry, or outside. Don't place it right next to the wall, 12-18" away is good. It's a sealed unit so you never add oil. I hope this helps.
@@IscaperThank you so much!!!
Great video! But what was the temperature outdoors when you shot this video? Maybe I missed smth? Just so I have an idea of how much it heats up before getting myself one. Can i raise the temperature within 2 hrs from 44 farenheit to 68 farenheit with this unit of 1500 watts in a 160sqft room? I live in south of Europe. You used this heater alone to heat up all that huge space?
Good questions. We live on the Oregon Coast and average temperature is around 50 degrees. We do have high humidity. My wife has one of these heaters in her office which is about the same size as your room and she can increase the temperature in a room that small quickly. The heater we have in the living/kitchen area (600 sq.ft) takes a number of hours to increase the temperature. It is the only heater we have in the living area, but we do have wall units with fans that we can use to turn up the temperature quickly if needed.
@@Iscaper Thank you so much for your reply. It seems like I will try getting myself one of these down here then. Your "October weather" is similar to our "December/january weather" over here in south of Europe. We have about 44 farenheit as the absolute coldest days over here during the nights but most times it is around 53 farenheit at night. Solid brick walls in the office room I have. Great review btw mate.
@@Winamp_ Thanks for the information. What is the location of the south of Europe are you referring to? Also, if you buy one of the heaters let me know how you like it.
@@Iscaper Im in Malta, but it is the same climate in South of Italy and south of Spain aswell. I bought the Delonghi TRRS0715, the 1500 watt model, down here locally actually. VERY happy with it. For 160sqft room it is perfect if the room got acceptable insulation. I use an electric timer that turns the Oil Radiator on and off in 15 minute intervals to save some electricity. Just using it on the 800Watt setting and level 6 on temperature level in intervals on and off for 12hrs a day basically. That makes it 68 farenheit throughout the entire day on 160sqft. Fantastic product if used with an electric timer in the wall connected to it. Our house is poorly insulated in general, so this is why I use electric timer.
When it was 53 farenheit outdoors and heavy winds yesterday I had 68-70 farenheit in my room. (Just as a reference). And im sure that even at 44 farenheit it will be 68 farenheit in my room with it on and off in 15 minute intervals at 800watt setting.
Do the red lights on switches 1 and 2 turn off when the radiator reaches the desired room temperature?
No, lights stay on.
if you use your ceiling fans. in winter mode... it will be more energy efficient......... a lot more..............
Hello, does this radiator heat a cold room of 14 square meters? I had a delonghi caldissimo formula one with 8 elements and it heated very well! Do you think this one will do the same considering that the old one had an air heater?
I doubt it. I would guess you'd need 2 of these heaters for a room that size. We have one of these in our living room that is 40' x 24' and we need to use the wall heater with fan to help it out.
@@Iscaper i mean 5x4 meteres i dont know, it s not very large
@@Iscaper 150 feet i mean, is enough for heating the room?
@@tarly3625 If you mean 150 square feet (10'x15') then this heater is a perfect size.
Thanks
Welcome!
These also used to be faithful winter friends on the territories of the now defunct former Soviet Union.
Didn't know that, thanks for posting.
Thanks for the video. Do you know the difference between kh771225 vs TRRS1225 ?
They look similar. I wonder if the KH771225 is an older model.
@@Iscaper i guess it is older but in my country it is 30% more expensive
Does the body get so hot ? I mean does it burn if a human touches it ? Thanks
@@3adelz90 Yes, when it's heating it gets hot.
My heater didn't even get hot, it was lukewarm and we followed all the instructions to a tee
Direction weren't very good. Does the unit cycle on and off in comfort mode? Does it cycle on and off in manual mode?
Yes to both.
i'm confused. These are called "oil-filled" but is there oil or water inside? Do i need to resuply it of water sometimes?
No, these are sealed units. Never try to add fluid to them.
@@Iscaper thanks for info!
Does make some clicking nosies while beginning to heat?
Yes, ours makes a click when it turns on to heat.
This heater is good?How much watts will consume at low power settings? Thanks
Yes, we have 3 of them. I don't remember the manual showing wattage used for the heat settings.
Low- 700W
Medium- 800W
High- 1500W
Merci sir
Thanks!
How much electricity does this cost? is it cheaper then jjust turning on the house heater?
From what I've read the oil filled heaters are more efficient than fan driven heaters. We turn the heat lower in our house and use these heaters in rooms we occupy most.
my friend grew up using double sweaters!😆😅
Дякую , завжди корисно 😊
Does it get hot to the touch?
Yes.
can I use this overnight???I have bought old version..is this safe to use it overnight???
We have 3 units we're using in thermostat mode that we leave on 24 hours a day.
Is there any chance that it cause fire???I am asking this question because I have saw a video on UA-cam about recall and my one is old version, that's why I am worried 😟😟😟😟
Whats the outside temp?
In the 50s when I made the video.
What does the numbers mean on the heater?
They're the heat levels on the thermostat, higher numbers mean more heat. We have ours on 4 and it keeps the living room at around 70 degrees.
@@Iscaper what is the point of the three heat settings , (low/medium/high) , if the dial is the thermostat. Is it just a question of taking more or less time to get to temperature?
@@johnmisrahi9922 Yes and good point. My guess is they have the 3 heat settings to accommodate different room sizes. We have a living area with vaulted ceiling that is 600 square feet and we use the heater setting there on high. We also have a heater in an office that is only 120 square feet and we use the heat setting on low in it. I don't think the heater in the living room would heat the room very well if we had the heat setting on low.
Does it emit an odor?
At first start up there is a slight odor, but after some use it goes away.
hi Scaper1 fam, does "thermostat light" ever go on? 🤨
There's no light on the thermostat dial. There is a light on the comfort setting button.
Is it ok to put it close to a wall?
All the manual say is to keep heater 3 feet from bedding, curtains, clothing, and furniture. We place ours 18" from any walls.
They guzzle electricity like crazy, unless you have some very good thermal isolation. An AC is much more energy efficient.
I don't think people are buying one of these for every room and turning off their central heating. To alter the temp of one room buying one of these is more cost effective than boosting the whole house. Strictly speaking from an energy efficiency standpoint these are just as efficient as central heat, all of the electricity is turned to heat. Cost could be a concern because natural gas central heaters end up being a lot cheaper in most regions just because of how cheap natural gas is.
Hey, so I already have one of these. I got it to review last summer, now that is cold. I just took it out of my closet. I am in a older apt. Does it use so much power that a person running an oxygen machine in the same room, not the same outlet is going to cause the fuse to blow? I haven't had a space heater in years, the last time I had one, an old roomate and I couldn't run ours at the same time, but I am hoping things have changed since them. I know I ultimately will need to find out on my own, but you seem like you might have a handle. @@maxeddis1138
100% Agreed.
@@manimanibooboo These heaters can pull up to 12.5 Amps on max settings, so definitely can flip a breaker or blow a fuse if other things are plugged into the same circuit
It’s trash😢
Just bought it today😢
Sorry to hear that, we have two of the units and they work great.
