DeLonghi Appliances

Bought mine in 2012 still going strong. Although once a year you need to descale, but that is due to water hardness. Quick and easy to make coffee all morning. Show details

This is a good coffee machine in many ways, but it appears to have one significant flaw. We previously owned the same model, which developed an… Read more

issue where the descale light kept flashing, even after we descaled the machine multiple times. We contacted DeLonghi for advice and tried their suggested fix, but it didn’t resolve the problem.

Because the machine was out of warranty and the repair cost would have been higher than replacing it, we decided to buy a new one — the same model, as it was on special. Unfortunately, the same issue occurred the first time the new machine needed descaling.

This time, it was still under warranty, so we took it in for repair. The technician told us this is not an uncommon fault and that the fix may involve replacing a specific circuit inside the machine.

Overall, while this coffee machine makes great coffee and works well in general, potential buyers should be aware of this recurring descaling light problem.

Beware of leakage… – I’ve bought this machine on three separate occasions over the past three years or so, because after a few months (with each machine) they start to… Read more

leak from the base. Just be aware of this. The coffee’s fine but once the leak sets in you’ll know about it. The pressure becomes weaker then too. I keep thinking the next one will be the one that doesn’t leak, but so far that hasn’t been the case. I’m going to try a Citiz just for something different.

Easily warms our living room and makes the space comfortable in no time. It heats evenly, runs quietly, and is very easy to use. The design is simple and fits well in the room. We’re very happy with its performance, especially during colder days.

Not a bad heater. If you're after something that is not really expensive and keeps a large room warm I would recommend this DeLonghi.

Only worked well for a few weeks. Then started leaking through the milk frother, pump low pressure so no crema on coffee and no froth in milk. Have… Read more

contacted Delonghi who gave details of what to do for the wrong machine. Then requested another photo of model number etc after supplied this then asked for a video. So much for customer support. Will not buy this brand again

This is a fully automatic coffee machine and does what it says. It's a somewhat pricey machine at around the $2000 mark, but if you drink a… Read more

reasonable amount of coffee and especially like a variety of coffee options, this is worth every cent. It simple to use, with easy step instructions on the touch screen. There are choices of so many different coffee options, both black and milk ones. It has a milk container that you just keep in the fridge and attach easily for flat while, latte, cappuccino and more. It also does hot water for tea drinkers. There are 4 temperature settings so caters for those who don't like their coffee too hot up to those that want to scald their tastebuds off. There is an app that gives many other options, but at the time of writing this, it's pretty terrible and doesn't work very well. I can see there's huge potential for the App, but I don't think DeJonghi care too much.

I purchased this about a month ago to replace a pod machine for the 3 coffee lovers at our house. I was looking for something a lot less wasteful,… Read more

and less expensive that could still deliver good coffee. This hits the mark perfectly. I make a litre of coffee using the pour over feature every morning, and everyone helps themselves whenever they're ready - the coffee stays hot for 40 minutes - plenty of time to come backfor seconds. Anything left gets saved in the fridge for the cold coffee aficionado to sip after work. I buy beans in 1kg bags from the supermarket and grind just enough for a pot each morning. Everyone is happy with the taste - preferred to the espresso pods we were using. Easy to clean and maintain, filter paper and grounds go to green waste rather than adding to landfill, and I'm spending less than a quarter of what I did with pods.

very nice! – Heater works fine, happy that we purchased this model. Functional and warm us well. Show details

ALERT be warned oil heater exploded spewing oil everywhere – I purchased the DeLonghi 2400W Radia S Column Oil Heater in April ready for winter. At the start of August the heater exploded, sparking and fizzing… Read more

then released all the oil over the floor, luckily nobody got injured but the oil damaged the carpet, which needs replacing and omitted a really bad smell which lingered for weeks. Unfortunately, we bought two of the same model and now I am worried that the same thing will happen to the other heater. I will not be buying a DeLonghi product again.

Perdect for small room – I bought this after reading many good reviews (grabbed it 2 days ago when it was suddenly discounted to $64) and I'm not sorry, it works a charm in… Read more

my cold bathroom which is only small so I need to use only one switch, (mid heat) setting , I imagine it would need to use the 2 switches for a larger room. The feet were a pain to affix as the screws are so small and awkward to place but my 75 yr old fingers managed it in the end and it's so light that's it's easy to for me to move it around There was a slight musty smell when first turned on but soon disappeared, It's compact size is very convenient as it doesn't take up much space and it sits nicely next to the vanity when not in use, cover with a dishtowel to keep out dust, Very happy to recommend this, especially at this weeks price I attached a tiny piece of black electric tape to the thermostat dial to make it easier for me to use

I've had this machine since 2018 and its been fantastic, I love the carafe, its nice but sometimes if you select the most frothed, it might spray a… Read more

little, but its no big fuss, descaling is a lot more easier with the pipe it comes with, Its been a great machine for me and also when I've got guests, I don't really like the noise level, but again, no big fuss.

What a mistake i made should have read the reviews on the de longi la specialista coffee machine-my story bought it 3 years ago-almost immediately been in and out of their service department 4 times ,called trouble shooting 7 times on record! and just recently my problems with the machine has not gone away-my fault fotr listening and believing their bullshit-again i called last week same problems guess what take it back to service-my issues r air bubbles,water not getting distributed as the coffee is coming out,sometimes it just does not even work and on many occassions when steaming and warming the milk never works-its not an operator issue either-service have told me to throw it away but de longi is not accepting liability here-pls i beg u consumers do not buy this brand it is a disappointment and its rubbish-after service care well its really called WHO CARES!

Machine worked good until plug overheated and shorted the mains. The pin was fully fussed into power point. Checked these reviews to see if it is a common fault. Show details

It's quite a beast – Summary: What I love - Very powerful dehumidifier that removes a lot of humidity fast. - Big 6 litre built in tank (it needs it since it remove a… Read more

lot of water). - Best feature is the ability to have the unit pump removed water out a long small hose (provided). Place that hose in a drain or out a cracked window and you never have to worry about emptying the container again. - Washable and re-usable air filter. - One of the least expensive units around when looking at cents per litre of water removed (according to Choice Magazine). - Simple easy to understand buttons and LCD panel.

Things that could be better - Only two fan speeds. - Quite a loud unit (but that comes with the very powerful compressor). - No ability to direct air flow. - The brilliant pump hose I love so much comes out the front of the unit. It's ugly and gets in the way. - Heavy (but has built in wheels that work well on hard floor and thin carpet).

The long version: During the heavy watering Sydney received in March 2022, I managed to get my hands on what I think was one of the last dehumidifiers available in Sydney. I had done quite a lot of research online, including this very site, plus Choice online and a few of the other usual suspects and settled on the DeLonghi AriaDry DD230P.

The moment I got it home, I unpacked and immediately put it to work. Our house so needed it, I am sure a lot of people can relate. About five hours later my wife came home and I proudly showed her my new toy - and low and behold, the 6 litre tank was close to full. That is a massive amount of water - out of one room.

Delonghi claims that it can remove 30 Litres per day (that is of course under optimal conditions with the right humidity and temperature), but if you calculate the 6 approximate litres in 5 approximate hours, that actually does get close to 30 litres a day.

The technology lover I am I also installed a watt meter to see how much power this gadget uses. It uses, as the plaque in fact says, about 500 W when running, so depending on your electricity plan (let's say you pay 21 c per kWh as a reasonable estimate of the average), it will cost you those 21 c every two hours. That does not sound like a lot, but be careful, it adds up to $75 per month when used continuously.

Choice Magazine btw gives a cost per litre of water removed (21c per litre). I am not sure how they came up with that number, I come up with 12 to 15 c per litre removed, but for all intents and purposes, that is a useless number anyway (except for when you compare various dehumidifiers to each other, exactly what Choice Magazine is in fact doing). In the Choice test, this dehumidifier was one of the least expensive to run, even with the higher rate that Choice used for their calculations. That was one of the biggest plus points for me that drew me towards this unit.

All this incredible water removal comes at a price of course. In the shop for starters (I paid $649), when running it (see above) and also in, let's call it usability. It is a heavy piece of equipment (19 kg!), that thankfully comes with built-in wheels. It can easily be moved between rooms on hard floor and short hair carpet. For anything else, the wheels are a bit too small.

Another price you pay for the big compressor in the unit is the noise. 54 dB does not mean anything unless you are an acoustics engineer but what matters is this: Unless you are exceptionally noise tolerant, you will have a hard time sleeping when this thing is on in your bedroom, even on the lower setting. I even find it annoyingly loud to have it running in my home office during the day. The solution is, run it when you are not in the room. Over night in the office, during the day in the bedrooms or living areas.

The unit has two fan settings. I would like to have a few more. No big deal though.

Also nice to have is the easy to understand control panel with an LCD display and refreshingly few buttons with hardly any silly unnecessary settings. There is a timer that turns it on and off when you are not there and thank you Delonghi for resisting the urge to make an app for it.

One thing I am missing is the ability to direct the airflow coming out of the device. Air shoots straight up (at considerable speed), I would love to be able to direct it into the direction of an adjacent room or a drying rack or whatever. Just a few movable fins would do the trick.

I kept the best for last, though. It comes with a small built in pump and a long (about 5 m long) thin hose. With the press of one single designated button you can set the unit to discharge the water not into the built in water tank, but to pump it out of that little hose. The pump is important as it pushes the water out the hose, even if the outlet is higher than the dehumidifier is. Some other units allow you to attach a hose, but they are gravity based, so your hose has to point down-hill if you want it to work. Not in this unit, the hose is long and it can be emptying the water way higher than the unit. Out a Windows for example.

Do not underestimate how useful that feature is. No more having to carry the full water container through the house, making sure the water does not overflow and get on the carpet while you carry it. No more of the unit turning itself off automatically because you forgot to empty the reservoir at night or before you left the house. Having this ability to pump water out a separate hose is a brilliant feature, I love it.

Why in the world the connector of that little discharge hose is in the front of the unit is a mystery to me, though. It is not only ugly to have that hose run out in the front, but it is also in harm's way. Vacuum cleaning nearby? Watch for the hose, watch to not hit the plastic nozzle, it could break. Watch out when you move the unit, that nozzle sticks out just enough to hit furniture or door frames.

It also sticks out too much when you try to put the unit back into the box it came in to transport to a different house. If you are not careful and leave the nozzle attached while packing it, it will most likely break off. That is exactly what happened to me by the way. It is not exactly solely Delonghi's fault, I agree, but please, in the next version, put that outlet into the back of the unit and make it flush with the outside.

And in case you are wondering how to remove that nozzle once it has clicked into place, it's a bit tricky. It is a bayonette like mechanism that you need to push in with one hand while pulling out the hose with the other. It took me ages to figure that out (and yes, I did read the manual).

In summary its a great dehumidifier that may even be a bit of an overkill for most homes. It can handle the removal of a lot of humidity in a short period of time and the feature that allows the pumping of water out a window or a drain with a nice and long hose it brilliant. That feature makes it ideal to dry out basements or remote rooms without having to constantly manually empty the built in container.

It is heavy, it is loud and it has a very powerful compressor that is expensive to run (but since it removes so much humidity quickly, you will most likely not run it for very long periods).

It's a beast of a dehumidifier - which is great. Just know you are getting a beast.

Dont buy, Extremely disappointing experience with De’Longhi warranty service. I paid £2,300 for Maestosa coffee machine, in August 2025, expecting… Read more

premium quality and support. While still under warranty, the touchscreen stopped working, so I sent it in for repair. After being without a coffee machine for two weeks, I received it back with the exact same issue unresolved, plus new scratches on the machine and the original box returned ripped apart. To make matters worse, I’m now being asked to send the machine in again, meaning even more time without a product I paid a premium price for. At this price point, this level of service is unacceptable. Poor repair quality, careless handling, and no consideration for the customer experience. I expected far better from a brand like De’Longhi

Perfect little heater for small rooms – Needed a small heater for a 5m x 4m bedroom and an oil heater seemed good choice. Saw the Delonghi Radia S 1000w on special at local store and… Read more

purchased one - We use it overnight to take the chill out of the air and this heater does the job perfectly. What's good about it is, you can set the temperature from 500w - 1000w over 3 settings with simple switches - the heater also has a mechanical style 24 hour time which is easy to use to set the start and finish times. I was impressed with the build quality, with fold out caster wheels, two way switches for heat control, thermostat, cable winder on the front and relatively small profile - nice and compact. We have used this in the bedroom for much of this winter and it has been excellent to keep the room warm - just turn it on about half an hour before going to bed and room is cosy.

PROS: - 1000w adequate for small rooms (not too much drain on power) - Build quality is very good - Reasonable price unit for quality and features - 24 hr timer - switching for power output (don't have to run at full output power) - Thermostat - switches power off when set temperature reached

CONS: - Haven't found any

We bought this DeLonghi toaster as a direct replacement for the one we’d had for years, expecting the same quality—but it’s been really… Read more

disappointing. It takes about twice as long to toast, cooks very unevenly, and we’ve already had issues with one side not staying down properly.

Honestly, the build quality feels like it’s gone downhill. As a side note, we’re noticing the same thing with the DeLonghi kettle we replaced at the same time after installing our new kitchen.

Based on this experience, I’d be hesitant to recommend this brand anymore.

I purchased the Evo 2 weeks ago. I don't have a coffee every day but I'm yet to have a decent coffee produced by this machine. I specifically… Read more

bought it because I like cappuccinos and lattes. No matter which drink I select, it spurts out a mass of frothy milk and a shot weak coffee, even when I put it at the strongest setting.

A latte is NOT a cup of frothy milk with a shot on top! A cappuccino is not a shot of watery coffee with 4 inches of froth on top. It's impossible to adjust the frother, despite the cheaper magnifica models and most other machines having this feature. I want to return it. The entire setup is false and misleading. It cannot make a latte despite having a 'my latte' button. It cannot make a cappuccino even though it has a cappuccino button. Even a basic black coffee is just dark dishwater. I adjusted the grinder to be a little finer and selected 3xbean strength (the strongest) but that didn't help either.

I spent time with 2 delonghi reps on the phone and neither of them thought a latte should have frothy milk.

I do not recommend this machine. It's a dud.

A good fan with a small footprint. Not too loud – Purchased March 2024, based on recommendation and reading Choice review. (It was not a recommended model but the smaller DETF110 was, and there were… Read more

no serious downsides). One big requirement for us was a small footprint for the fan, which this satisfies. The ability to have the upper and lower segments pointing in different directions is occasionally useful. The fan moves a sufficient amount of air, and does so without making a lot of noise, which was another key requirement. Being a tower fan, the air movement is distributed along a vertical column so if you want something pointing over the edge of a bed this isn't going to be a great choice vs a pedestal fan. However, for tasks like drying laundry on a rack, or blowing air towards us on a couch it is great.

the water. I got 30 free coffee pods which is amazing, I have decided to try the espresso and wow it smells like a coffee you buy from a cafe. The taste was really good and did not have to add sugar, of course I do not mind my coffee a little strong and do not like too much sweetness. I also got 2 free gran lungo cups with 2 spoons. I do like the sizes. I had no idea how to use the milk frother but I learn my lesson to put less milk in there and wait for it to froth up more. The machine does not take up much space and overall really like this machine, I know a lot to say after trying it for the first time but I feel I am going to enjoy it in the long run.

the same? (Perhaps made by 1 factory in China)

There was minimal instructions on how the item was to be fitted. More detail would have helped like what was the metal angle item for and where was it to be fitted and how. (Cover to fill in any gap between rear wall and unit. More info on the collar (to fit exhaust duct to) and how it fits into unit.

Unit case is of solid metal and is of reasonable weight. Needs minimum of 2 people to fit. 1 to hold unit in place while other fixes screws thru cupboard above into holes in unit.

A template to help with locating holes for support screws would be helpful.

Unit seems to operate ok. Early days.

what an impressive performance! .. I tossed up between this one and another brand! .. & I’m so glad I purchased this one! .. powerful, quiet, very effective & takes up minimal space! .. great value for money! .. definitely highly recommended! Show details

Worked well for 4 months, then stopped working. So I give it 2 stars because 500$ for making coffee for 4 months is a bit expensive. Show details

shot & froth the milk. Firstly set your dose for the single basket @ 20g & make sure your grind setting is @ 2. Secondly fill the jug just below the v spout inside the jug. Firstly flush the wand for a few seconds before frothing the milk. Place the wand just below the surface & slightly tilt the jug backwards to froth & texture the milk. Once the milk starts rising insert the wand deeper into the jug. Fantastic grinder & a responsive steam wand that goes online in 3 seconds.
