HMP1500

Update: We are going on our 5th winter with this heater and it's still working great! Best money ever spent on a heater! Before buying this heater I went and did a LOT of looking for heaters.. I spent about a month reading reviews and looking at different products. In the end I settled on this one. There were a lot of reasons why I picked this over 100's of others but here are the big ones: 1. Cost - This price is not overly crazy high. So many heaters seemed to be well over the 100$ range and this one was under that when we got it. 2. I wanted a NO fan heater. Heaters with fans can be SO drying of the air in the room! With 3 of the 4 members of my household having Asthma we needed the air to not be too dry. 3. The heating settings! With the 600 wat and 1200 wat it seemed like a very cost effective way to heat the living room. Now I want to make it clear that I was blown away with just how well this heater worked for us so far. We live in a 2 bedroom small apartment (800sf). We have old electric base board heating and each unit using about 1200wats an hour. There are 3 in the living room alone.. The cost to run the heating adds up FAST. From Nov-March we tend to have power bills that are from 200$-250$ each month from the extra heating bills. We received this heater on Nov 25 and have been using it as needed till now Feb 15th. Our heating bills have been: $58.02 for Nov (Note we did not need to use the heater but for a few hours at night for a few days that month) $113.18 Dec (We used the heater every day for a few hours - 4-6 a day) $126.03 Jan (We used the heater for the better part of the day daily. - 10-16 hours a day) I think the numbers speak for themselves! Keep in mind that we only need to use the heater in our home when it drops below 50F outside. We have a very easy to heat/cool apartment. But we do have a rather large window in our living room and sliding glass doors by the dinning room. I checked the temps daily to see how well it was heating the apartment. In the main room (living room) with the heater in it it stayed at around 63-66 depending on how cold it was outside. The temps this winter were VERY cold in Jan and we had a few weeks of 25-30F being our daily highs. Even then the heater kept the living room, dinning room and kitchen in the mid 60's. I should also add that we did use two smaller heaters both 600 wats in our bedrooms on the bitterly cold nights for a little extra heat. But when it was 40F+ We didn't really need them even to stay warm at night. Now we do also use common sense like wear a warm sweater and use thick heavy down blankets in the winter. Over all however we were more then happy with how the heater has done this far. I can't yet say if it will last to next year but I will update this review then if it does. Also wanted to note that the backside/sides of the heater stays relatively cool to the touch. I can see how mounting it on a wall would work really well. We however use it on the wheel base it came with. It seems fairly sturdy but we have not dropped it or knocked it over so no clue how well it could take a beating. I have 2 small boys age 2-4 and both have done just fine with it. I would think if you have pets or small kids one would want to keep a close eye on it. The heater panel does get VERY hot and would burn anything touching it. We keep it in front of our fireplace that is centered in the room. Also should be noted that even if it only lasts a year I would still buy a new one without batting an eye next year if the price was the same!

I have lived in a lot of apartments that don't provide adequate heating and have had to supplement what little heat they provide with my own, so I've purchased many, many different kinds of heaters over the years. I had settled on using mostly the type that are oil filled and look like radiators, also made by DeLonghi (I now have five different models by them), for the past several years, because they work okay and are safe. However, they draw a lot of energy so my electric bills had been way too high. Also, I found that I need to be positioned very close to them to feel much effect. So, I was on a mission to find the best model out there and purchased this one. I could not be more pleased. At the lowest setting, it provides so much better heating than anything else I've ever used. This heater really does radiate warmth. I do not need to be right beside it to feel the heat in the room. It heats up rapidly, and I have no problem with it turning off or cycling up and down correctly when set to auto. Plus, my electric bill is much more reasonable now, so I'm just thrilled. I strongly recommend this heater! UPDATE: I have now been using this heater for 5 years and it still works as well as it did when I first got it. It's been cold here lately and the landlord has not turned on the heat yet, but my bedroom is very toasty because of this terrific heater, while my room-mate is suffering in the cold. I came on here to see what the price is today, because I recommended that my room-mate buy one last year and she never did, so I'm glad to see the price is still reasonable. It's more than what I initially paid, but only by $8. I don't know anything about any annoying sounds that people have written about because mine is whisper quiet, unlike the heaters with fans, and it still does a great job of radiating heat. Personally, I think this is the best purchase I've made for myself and I would never want to live without this incredible heater, so I'm thrilled they still make it! 10 year update: I have now owned and used this wonderful heater for a decade, which still works like a dream, so I told yet another roommate about it and came here to find out the current price. Wow has the price increased! I got it in 2012 for $57.99 and it's now selling for a whopping $346.99! OMG! I'm retired now and have to live on poverty-level Social Security, so I could never afford to buy it today. I have to pray that it continues to work so well and that it lasts many more years to come.

This is a fantastic heater for many reasons. It is very thin so it does not take up a lot of room. It emits heat quickly and efficiently. The heater is lightweight and easy to take room to room or up/down stairs. The best thing about it is that is is completely silent. It won't affect your sleep or interfere with hearing the TV. It heats up instantly with easy to use switches. Because it is a large panel surface the heat is coming from a larger surface area as opposed to small portable heaters which take a lot of time to heat a large room. I love the safety features, especially having an active dog running around. I would recommend this heater. It arrived very quickly, sooner than expected. I purchased this myself and was not influenced in any way to give a positive review.

Que excelente calentador, calienta muy muy bien, tiene varias formas de regular para que no se sobre caliente el cuarto. Lo que si, el primer uso creo que lo mejor es hacerlo en el patio o en el jardín para quitarle el olor, pero después de unos cuantos usos ya deja de oler. Su ergonomía es muy conveniente porque cabe casi en cualquier lugar y casi no pesa entonces lo puedes mover fácilmente de lugar. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

I bought this after asking the question “are you still happy with this heater?” The answers were yes. I live in Edmonton and bought this to supplement heat in our finished walkout basement. I have an office down there that is open to the family room. After trying a few heaters from Canadian Tire and Homedepot that I was not happy with, I bought this one. It’s quiet and perfect for what I need. I have the wheels on it so I can move it around. You set it by heating the area to what you feel is comfortable and then turning the dial until you hear a click. Then the heater will continue to heat the area to that temperature. There is no fan and it doesn’t seem to need one. It’s only the end of October though, so ask me again in January. But so far so good, I would recommend this for supplemental heat. My area is approximately 15 x 30 feet with the office at one end and I am comfortably warm downstairs now.

spending another winter in an airstream in the pacific north west. spend a fair bit of time to find the right heater for my needs, something with very little or no sound to be in the bed area of the trailer to keep the temperature above 10˚C (50F). after 2 weeks of use and a few nights with frost this heater performs excellent in the min mode (750W) and i combine it with my wood stove fan as they are silent, it does make the fan turn only pretty slowl but i am sure it helps to distribute the warm air coming from this good looking mica panel heater. happy with this purchase

Muy bun calentador DeLonghi, no hace ningun ruido. Llego prfectamente envalado en su caja. Para armalo no necesitas herramientas, solo tus manos para ponerle las ruedas de soprte. No pesa. Este me lo recomendo mi sobrino que vive en España y por lo del problema del gas que pasaron en Europa, compraron uno y me dijeron "que sea de Mica", me lo mostraron y efectivamente hoy lo confirmo. Lo tengo funcionando y no despide ningun lor como comentan en otras reseñas. Me toco bueno como es, de fabrica: MUY BUENO y lo recomiendo.
