quietly. The adjustable thermostat and safety features (like overheat protection) make it reliable for everyday use.

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.

Underpowered and claims it heats 105m2 is bollocks. Probably a typo for 10.5m2.You have to sit on top of this thing to feel instant warmth. Good for a small room but that is it. Build quality is good. Show details

We were sent the 2000W Charcoal Black panel heater to test out in late June 2025 as part of the Ambassador Program. We have used it in the nursery… Read more

since receiving it until around November 2025, due to having one of the coldest winters on record and a newborn. Firstly, it is a lovely unit to look at with a fabric finish, slimline fit and was packaged well. We have used the unit two ways, where we initially had it wall mounted and then decided that it wasn’t as effective as we would like so we then placed it on wheels to move around the room. Both ways of using the heater were easy to assemble and all parts were included. The machine itself is a quiet unit, and you can’t hear it working at all, which is a change from the noisier split system we have in the room. The beauty of this heater is that it holds its temperature and the room temperature especially when you are experiencing minus 7 outside. I needed a heater that wouldn’t go into defrost mode, dropping the room temperature and then blowing cold air. The downside to this unit is that it doesn’t blow the warm air at you, rather it blows it towards the ceiling, so if you have it located under a window or wall mounted you lose most of the warm air. It’s also not a heater you would sit in front of if trying to get instantly warm. In saying that, once you set a temperature the machine will maintain that temperature and cut out once the temperature is reached and then automatically kick back in once it drops, making it the perfect heater for a child’s room. The machine itself doesn’t get extremely hot like the old oil heaters, making it that little bit safter for little people. The display panel remains lit up, so if you don’t like light when you are sleeping you needed to cover it, as the digital display shines through the Perspex cover. The control panel however isn’t lit up making it extremely difficult to see and use when the room is dark. The sequence of buttons that need to be pressed to operate the heater and modify setting is also complicated when you are tired or busy. The open window function is right next to the menu button and if you accidently press the open window function, the heater will often switch off overnight, which isn’t ideal when you have a newborn sleeping in the room that you are trying to maintain a consistent heat for. The use of WiFi to control the heater via your smart phone and the app was easy to connect and use. I love the ability to turn the heater on before we get home or double check that it’s been turned off if we have left for the day. Overall, this heater looks great, works really well, and is easy to control via the app. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a bedroom or small space that requires a quiet, efficient heater with smart features.

I regret buying this heater. It barely warms up even a small room, yet the exterior gets dangerously hot to the touch. The fan is loud and rattles constantly, making it impossible to sleep while it’s on.

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. Show details

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

Do not buy, waste of money. After 5yrs of no heating I finally decided on this heater Big mistake, first time I turned heater on it leaked oil all over my carpet so not only do I have a heater I can't use I now have a big puddle oil stain on my rug.

This Heater is fantastic Heats a large area Perfectly – I purchased the out door Heater from Harvey Norman appox 18mth ago. The unit is fantastic looks great on the outside wall of our Balcony and heats… Read more

the Balcony within a short period of time. Everybody comments on how powerful the unit is and want to sit near it. Unfortunately i had a small issue with the unit, i contacted Thermofilm directly and spoke to customer service (Brendon). What a fantastic and outstanding service i received. Everything is now working well. I cannot speak highly enough of both the Heater but mostly Brendon from customer service. ( what a refreshing change to receive such great after sales service.)

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

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.

unnecessarily. Diagrams don't match the parts to assemble. No explanation for a choice of 3 settings. Still can't get the timer, I paid so much extra for, to work. Regret purchase!

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

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

bedroom even set on level 1 with thermostate set on less than half. We tried new ceramic and radiant convector but appreciate the quiet economical eco copper coil oil free model. We used them in Otago, Christchurch and Southland which get pretty cold

It does its job, heats up quickly, and keeps a room or large living room warm—very good. There's just one problem: it's made of tin, not glass, and so it occasionally makes loud popping noises when heated. Show details

Excellent patio heater – I installed this about 3 years ago over our outdoor eating area and it works a treat. It has very strong radiant heat and it has meant that my aged… Read more

parents could enjoy our outdoor family meals on even the coldest of winter nights. It is well built, solid and durable. It looks and performs just as well now as when it was first installed. (I also have 2 other Heatstrip heaters in our bathrooms and they are also fantastic: Heatstrip 2000W Home/Patio infrared nano indoor/outdoor heater)

WHAT ?? – love this small but fast-heating machine. the room I use it in is 3.5m by 3.5m Heats it in less than 10 mins. I hope the cold works as well.

Very Happy with our purchase – We have been using the Dimplex Portable Electric heater for a few months now and we love it. It makes our lounge room feel and so cozy, it also… Read more

makes the room look stylish.

We also have two little kids who love playing with stuff but this heater is very safe for someone who is worried about the kids burning themselves.

We are very happy with our purchase well worth the money.

Do not buy if small children will be close or near it. The whole unit becomes incredibly HOT to touch. They will burn themselves Okay for a small room Show details

Love this heater – We also love the fact that it's child-safe. It's also easy to clean. Show details

Perfect for a small bedroom! – I got this on special, even full price I would buy another! It has a fan setting, heat setting 1, and heat setting 2 you can adjust on a scale. I… Read more

at night and the beeper too noisy for a heater,spcialy if you wanna change any setting in middle of the night,it defenetly wakes your parner up.don't no weather has any mute option or not...even used it in the living room,heats up the whole medium size living room in about 15 to 20 min on high.if you don't mind the bright light and the noise and a budget person...go for it

Oil Heater – Certainly works well, I bought a 7 Fin Oil Heater and was happy with it. The & Fin Oil Heater has been used in a very small bedroom that had been icy cold in winter, the 11 Fin is for a larger area and has worked well. Show details

Poorly assembled faulty product – I purchased an 8-bar 2.4KW Oil Heater. On unpacking from the carton I found that one side of the heater is detached and cannot be connected. It would… Read more

appear that the product has been poorly assembled at the factory. Calls to the online supplier have met with no response. I would visit a service centre except there is no address online. I cannot find anyone willing to rectify this problem. What am I supposed to do ,throw it out? Very poor service. Subsequent to this review a response was received from Dimplex ignoring most of the content of my review and telling me to contact the retailer. READ MY REVIEW DIMPLEX. I HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT . This product should never have left their factory. Personally I will never again purchase a dimplex product.

contacted Heatstrips customer service where Brandon Le handled my issue. He suggested the THX2400DCR which he promptly shipped to us. We installed it and its great! Brandon was so helpful, he stayed in contact the whole time and kept us up to date on where the unit was and was always available should we have any questions. Although the THS2400R didn't fit our needs, Heatstrip made sure we got a suitable replacement fast. Highly recommend them!

Delonghi TCH8993ER 'Silent+'. Not Silent, noisy as – It stinks. It heats. It is not silent. I admit from the outset that I shouldn't have bought this, it's the wrong sort. I had no experience with… Read more

ceramic tower heaters. Whoops! That aside, I found it pretty useless for quietly, economically and efficiently heating any open-plan living area because it is neither quiet nor economical. As far as efficiency goes that depends on what you want it for.

Best feature: Portability with a capital 'P'; and for personal use (with a lower case 'p')

Worst: DēLonghi have some nerve naming this model "Silent+".

No fan is silent because the blades move the air - without friction, air particles would simply go around the blades instead of being flung off. What we hear is impact of air particles on the blade surface, and the resulting airflow then being forced through the protective mesh which adds its own aerodynamic chatter to the mix. On medium and maximum (they are the same high fan speed) it's just as noisy as any other heater imho.

Listen to what other reviewers say! I didn't heed the reviews that canned this model. Generally when I buy something good I like it straight away but I'm in my fifth day of trying this out. That says a lot, but it still may be a good heater depending on what you want it for. I'll try to be fair with my review but it will take some effort to do so because, not being familiar with ceramic tower heaters, I made a mistake buying the wrong sort for what I wanted - something versatile enough to serve as an economical personal heater yet efficiently heat a large area as well. The DēLonghi TCH8993ER 'Silent+' does neither of these super well and is definitely NOT SILENT. It's too high up to heat your feet and not powerful enough for open living areas.

In fairness, its lowest setting ("Silent+" ) is probably its best use - only 1200w for cheap running with the slower fan speed which can't be switched off and is NOT SILENT. It fits well under my desk and runs like it's in its right place.

Heat: Yes, on full, it sure pumps it out... not very Green eh and empties your wallet in the process to boot. Lower settings are sort of gutless but useful to ease any guilt about emissions. Best use is to huddle over it for a quick warm-up. No luck yet efficiently heating a decent-sized room. By efficiently I mean within my pension budget. Can't work out what the middle setting is for other than a medium sized room. Derr.! I'm kidding. It's for extravagant use as an overblown personal heater, slothing and wallowing in knee-burning luxury – damn the cost! And the Environment. And the Planet. And my burnt knees. Thermostat: As a space heater, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I loathe the expression, but "good luck with that". Certainly not "set and forget"! It can get stuck in a glitch.

Remote: You'll need lottery-style luck for this piece of junk. Too often it doesn't work either. To be sure, you need to be directly in front, no more than a metre away, and aim at the top. Even then you'll be kept guessing. Pointing in the general direction doesn't work, or almost never. Still, the remote is indispensable because the interface on the heater itself is mind-bogglingly hard to see what is what - therefore it's easier to control it remotely. From right in front of it up close ha ha.

Noise level: Despite the model name, it is NOT SILENT except when it isn't running. When in what it calls Silent+ mode, it still makes a fair amount of noise. I believe a more appropriate term should be "quiet" - but compared to what? Its noisiest setting? It must be that.

User experience:...did I mention.. it stinks.. of chemicals.. exactly what, I'm not sure, but I think it's the ceramic gizmo. I've smelt this odour before, with a car fridge I think, it's a bit like plastic but kinda like resin or glue and alarmingly toxic-smelling. I can't imagine it is at all harmless. Anyhow, we expect a kero or oil heater to give off fumes but this 'cutting edge technology' is a giant step backwards.

Build: Great looks but that won't keep the room warm. I've read comments about the grille getting dangerously hot but they must be running it full bore for long periods. I found the low setting very safe, you can be very close without much chance of getting burnt unless you're silly enough to not notice. Fair point though - I can see its design could be better. It should protect against accidental burns from hot parts when on High. I definitely wouldn't say this is safe for kids and pets like panel heaters are. Also, some complain about the plastic base being flimsy, and mine has a crooked decorative chrome trim that protrudes at the top (see pic) potentially snaring clothes etc as you walk past. And tips it over. On the cat. Or...

Price: You ARE paying for the name. I don't believe DēLonghi heaters are any better or any worse than any other brand of an equivalent model. This isn't a bad heater but there's nothing special that other heaters don't have. Pretty much everything these days uses the same technology smuggled by mutant alien hackers into China (see pic). But DēLonghi are not cheap like just about everything that exports out of Asia.

Verdict: unlike my long-winded review, the DēLonghi TCH8993ER doesn't blow a lot of hot air cheaply. BUT mine is free. I found its best use was as a personal heater - this ceramic tower heater conveniently fits into corners and gaps in furniture, even under a desk (which is how I use it). Otherwise short bursts on higher settings are the only way to get efficient results without going broke ha ha!

Excellent product – Heats up a room and very happy with the product.
