Started out great, then died x 2 – This heater was very effective, so good in fact that we went and bought a second one. But both of them died! One just stopped working altogether, just after the 12 month warranty. The other was tripping and the plug also got so hot that it burnt to touch. That one was within warranty. So disappointing because it had so much potential. Show details

Stopped working in 15 months – In under 12 months, the heater would turn itself off for no reason while in use - on an even surface and in a room that was cold. Now that the warranty has expired, it rarely turns on and still independently turns off. When it did work, it was a good heater and not particularly noisy. I wish I had claimed on the warranty when it first started breaking down. Show details

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

Intelligent and efficient – I have hydronic heating set to a timer which does take a while to heat the house. if you come home early turn the HSX on and it will heat the room rapidly and when the hydronic kicks in if you forgot to switch it off when the required temperature is reached the thermostat turns it off to save power. Four years old and has not missed a beat. Very Happy P.T.P Show details

A good heater, warms up our bedroom quite quickly – We bought this heater a year ago to use it to warm quickly our bedroom. Room is around 16 meters squared. It is slim and so not taking too much of space. One of the main benefits of this particular model is the fan heater which helps to warm up the room very quickly. The timer also helps to save up on your electricity bill. We are very happy with… Read more

it, using a timer we switch it on for an hour at night before we go to bed and then set the timer to turn on and off every hour. Keeping the room closed helps to warm up the room quickly and also to retain the heat. Our house is a 2 level house and hence upstairs always keep a bit warmer than if it had to be downstairs. I tried this heater to warm up a 20 square combined room downstairs and it struggled to warm it up efficiently. Happy with purchase and worth the money.

Happy purchase – I thought I’d have to park it in the middle of the room, but it sits quietly against the wall and heats up the living room so nice and quickly. Great heater, very happy. Show details

Awesome for the price – We have a large house that it freezing and our reverse cycle air con doesn't quite reach our bedroom at bed time so we decided to buy a heater. Boy I'm glad we did! Not sure how we got by in previous winters without this heater. It only takes 5-10 minutes on high to heat our bedroom up before turning it down. Would definitely recommend this for medium sized bedrooms. Show details

Broken just outside of warranty period – It did the job well until broke down after 15 months (3 months after the warranty period). I only turned it on for 5-10 minutes in the morning to get changed during winter. I contacted Delonghi via email and Facebook messenger to no avail. It's a shame the product isn't made to last and more disappointing due to poor customer service. Show details

Was great while it lasted! – Effectively heated a small bedroom but within 3 months of using it, the fan sparked and stopped heating. Thankfully it was within a 1 year warranty and I can return it. Nothing is made to last these days... Show details

Light Weight and Poor Quality – Fan stopped working 1 month out of warranty. Fan suddenly would only work full speed and became ridiculously noisy. Now just a standard heater with very limited capability. Very disappointed with this heater considering I've had Delonghi coffee machine which has been great. Show details

Electricity Cost is high – Just bought this from Good guys, looking to replace my current fan heater, as i suspect is using more electricity otherwise that fan heater was working best in my tv lounge, anyway used only yesterday this new Delonghi on Medium and minimum settings, this heater has auto switch off function and fan (used in Max+ option, this option will use more… Read more

electricity but will heat up quickly), didn't use the timer yet, today looked my electricity charges for yesterday use, looks the consumption increases a bit, will try another couple of days otherwise switch back to my old fan heater. The best bit of this heater is its quietness, no fan noise, will take time to heat up the area if you are not using in Max+ mode.

Just an update to my previous review, I have returned this heater back to Good guys after paying stocking fees, compare electricity cost with my normal 2400 watt fan heater, this heater is on high side, so not fit for my purpose, also it take ages to warm the room as compare to fan heater, very quick,so its only good for those who can afford high electricity cost and wanted to have for a small room for overnight use,this heater was not able to warm my medium TV lounge.

Surely wouldn't recommend! – I purchased this product in May 2018. It stopped functioning after 5 months. Delonghi promptly replaced it with another piece, which again stopped working after 10 months (i.e. after about only 4 months usage during winter). Show details

Great heater - worst instructions – I purchased this heater today and never have I seen instructions so hard to understand. Worse than ikea. There’s assembly required and the instructions give you no guidance. Love the heater but think the instructions should be simpler. You pay $139, you expect that the quality of the instructions would be high. Show details

Good while it lasted – Suitable for an average bedroom, couldn't cope with anything larger like a lounge room. We had to exchange it because the power/timer was glitching. After exchanging it, our 2nd one lasted us about 2 winters and wouldn't turn on anymore. Delonghi referred me to some local service technician because it was out of warranty. Rubbish product. Show details

Slim, Stylish but a little ripper! – I bought this heater for my son's tiny bedroom therefore needed something that was slim and unnoticeable to fix to the wall. Never have we needed to turn the heater on full power. On the lowest setting you will get great heating results. The heater is very quiet so ideal for sleeping quarters. Show details

Good little heater – Bought this a year ago, and overall pretty happy with it so far. Pros: - It heats up a small to medium (3m X 3m) sized room quickly - reasonably quiet, even with fan on - compact, doesn't take up too much space - well priced Cons: - not effective in larger rooms  Show details

Good heater – It heats very quick, not too noisy but not very quite as well. It's relevant safe near the kids, will not burn the kids. but it had a very bad smell when first used, and the smell last several time. Show details

Good one, works fantastic but got a problem after 2 yrs, getting some short circuiting kind of noise – Good one, works fantastic but got a problem after 2 yrs where it started with a noise when switched on, that we usually hear when something is short circuiting.. Seller had verified with manufacturer and they told that as its out of warranty by last year, they cannot do anything. Hence, asked them to dispose it off for me. In this context, I… Read more

would say, may be ceramic tower heaters are good value for money and long lasting ??

Pros:

1. Noise is very less compared to tower heaters. 2. Heat retains even when switched off not like fan heaters where you will feel cold after few mins, when switched off. 3. Effectively nice for 3x3 - 4x4 room.

Cons: 1. Takes time to heat, may be need to switch on 15-20 min before bed to get the room heated. 2. Not suited for large rooms as it will take considerable time to heat. 3. In my case, it didn't last more than 2-3 yrs where it was hardly used for 2 winters.

Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion only..

Instant Heat..Very Light Weight Unit – Great Heater.. I like the fact it has a timer so it’s great for automatically coming on in the early morning and warming the room. Absolutely no complaints..I would definitely recommend this heater... and very light to move around as well. Purchased from appliancesonline who always give free home delivery...  Show details

Great product – We have purchased 3 to take the chill out of the bed rooms. The wall mount kit is easy to install. Instead of using the Integraded Thermostate we are using the heater mate Thermostate to have a better temperature control and also to be more energy efficient. Once again great product, price and quality matches and highly recommended.  Show details

Keeps us warm – Takes the chill out of the air very quickly, it warms our open living/kitchen area. It doesn't take up much room, it nice and slim line against the wall when not in use. The price was better than I expected it was nice to have change in my pocket after purchase.  Show details

Good price and good heating capabilities – I have lived with a gas heater for last 3 years but recently moved to a place with no gas, so wanted a heater that heated well and didn't break the bank. This one ticked most of the boxes when reading reviews and I love how it heats quietly, even in fan mode. We have a good size living room that extends to a dining room. I feel the heat is lost … Read more

after about 3 meters back and I haven't received an electric bill to know how energy efficient they are but I also don't see why you would pay triple the price for a similar electric heater. If you can't go gas then these type of heaters are fine enough to do the job! I may buy another for the bedroom!

Heat up the room in no time – I love this unit comparing to oil heater with lower price and feature. It does not occupy much space and heat up the bed room within few minutes on minimum setting. It is light, and easy to carry any where you like. Highly recommended. Quickly grab it before it stops production.  Show details

Simple yet effective heater – I am renting a property that doesn't have heating in the main living areas, not a gas bayonet. I needed to find electric heaters that are unobtrusive, effective and not overly expensive. As the area I have to heat is quite large; lounge, kitchen/dining, and all hard surfaces (polished concrete) and no window treatments, I purchased two. The… Read more

worked perfectly to heat the are, and quietly.

We went out to dinner and I left them on low setting. When I returned, they had heated the front bedrooms also.

I haven't used the timer yet. The max fan setting is a bit loud, but realistically, you'd likely only use that to do a quick heat up.

I'm really pleased with their performance. Would recommend.

Great even in confined spaces – I brought this at bunnings on clearance at the end of season for my camper trailer as I wanted a heater small enough to take and also light enough that it wasn't going to weigh us down. It is compact and light enough to do this and unlike small blow heaters because the air is coming out from the top it isn't uncomfortable and too hot we had it… Read more

going in our camper trailer and we didn't feel too hot at all yet my parents had a small blow heater in their caravan which was a larger area and we were feeling overheated. We have consequently leant it to them to use. I am not sure how it would go in a large space though.

Great heater with great value – Got this heater a few weeks ago and am more than satisfied- it seems to even time itself to ensure the room is evenly heated, you don't have to worry about it being too much as it heats in (give or take) 5 minute blasts or so. Then it still has a timer to ensure you don't leave it running too long- very easy to use and economical, haven't got the… Read more

next electricity bill yet but I'm betting it's going to be much cheaper than the last one. Not to mention the heating is also brilliant- even on the lowest settings it easily heats my room, I love it.

Excellent Heater – This heater is excellent. Heated a big, cold room, at the height of winter. The fan doesn't work very well, but the heat seems to spread enough without having the fan turned on. At 2400W it drains quite a bit of power and may blow the circuit in an old house.. worth keeping in mind.  Show details

good except for timer noise – Would be happy with this heater except for one major fault - the constant ticking of the timer, even though the timer isn't switched on. Makes it hard to use in the bedroom on those really cold nights. The timer needs to be redesigned to make it totally silent and then I'd give it 4 stars.  Show details

Good Heater – I bought this heater in May 2017 for my newborn. It heats up the room pretty quick. The slim design allows it to fit anywhere.The heater’s three dials manage the thermostat’s 6 power levels, the fan speed, and the 24 hour timer. You can program this timer to only run your heater at the times of day when you’ll be at home.  Show details

Just ok – I purchased this heater for 2 main reasons. 1 being the obvious- heat. The 2nd being the timer. Well it's quite good regarding heating up a largish area. However the timer is terrible. I now regret my purchase. Firstly you can barely see what you're doing when trying to set it. It has a rotary knob you'd expect to find 50 years ago on electrical… Read more

products. And it's excruciating trying to set it. So I won't even be using the main function I bought it for. If you want just heat. Then it's ok. If a timer is an important function I wouldn't even bother with this one.

Good for Heating a Room – I bought the Delonghi HSX3324FTS from Harvey Norman for $135 (June 2017). Internet prices vary from $120 - $149. It has a twin, the HSX3320FTS, the only difference being the wattage – the 3320 has 2000 watts and the 3324, 2400 watts. It’s an electric convection heater meaning that it draws air in, heats it and releases it via the main grill at the… Read more

top of the heater which is at 45 degrees – hot air does not come out of the side - it only comes from the top. It has 3 side knobs and carry handles.

Operation is simple - turn the thermostat to a maximum of 6 and the power knob to either min, med, max or max* (max* turns the fan on). I start with max* to heat the room quickly, then leave it on max or turn it down to med. Only on max* can one hear the fan, otherwise it's quiet. The third knob is a 24 hour timer which I doubt I’ll ever use. It does an efficient and quiet job of heating 1-2 large rooms. It’s actually quite unassuming – before you know it your area is warm but keep in mind the heat comes from the top and is not directed at your feet and legs area – it’s designed to heat a room. If you’re looking for something to warm your feet and legs on a cold night this is probably not for you. I was surprised how small this unit is (68.3cm x 9.0cm x 46.0cm) compared with my old IXL Quasar (which finally packed in after 15 years!), there are however much thinner models on the market. It also comes with 4 brackets and 6 screws with plugs for wall mounting.

As an aside I notice one reviewer commenting about the feet coming off, this may be because they didn't fit a screw into each foot - once this is done, the feet aren’t coming off. It’s light at 5.2kg but the feet are positioned such that it would need a good whack to knock it over or a toddler running at full boar. It would be more inclined to topple on thick pile carpet, which the manual doesn't recommend placing it because it obstructs the air intake underneath but the unit will switch off if it’s accidentally tipped over. It slides easily on floor boards and can be moved with your feet.

My niggles are it could do with a set of wheels and the knobs on the side are a bit low to the ground although easier to adjust if you’re sitting down. To my thinking the 45-degree top is back to front – I prefer the angled top facing me because it gives off more heat in which case I’m looking at the back of the heater and the knobs are facing away. Compared with what I'm used to, the DeLonghi is subtler and not as strong in giving off heat and I'm really missing the heat coming from the side of my old unit and the warmth onto my legs.

If you’re looking to go higher tech with an LCD that shows the temperature, try the Delonghi HCX9124E ($299) which also caught my eye at Harvey Norman’s.

Efficient and does the job – Looking for something to use in our second bedroom, to replace a radiant type heater. This model does fit the bill, several heat settings, several fan settings, timer, and slim model. Heats quickly for our room size, normally just left at a very low heat and fan setting, would be more efficient with the timer set.  Show details

Very happy with this purchase – I chose this heater based on price point ($129) and I have to say it's surpassed my expectations. I live in an alpine climate where it's regularly below zero in winter and it works great to heat a bedroom. The timer is a nice addition as I can set it to start early morning so I wake up to a nice warm room. On max setting with the fan it heats… Read more

very quickly...and the other settings with no fan are great for mornings/evenings as it's essentially silent. If your looking for a decent heater to heat a bedroom, that doesn't cost the earth and looks good too, then I'd highly recommend this product.

Outstanding product - allot more effective than expected – Bought this heater based on recomendations on Whirlpool - from Appliances Online for about $130 with quick delivery and so far it has exceeded our expectations. The heater is silent except for on the MAX setting (low fan hum), however we use it on HIGH and that is sufficient to warm the lower level of our two story townhouse in Sydney (8' last… Read more

night and it was fine) and take the edge off the upper level. It replaces a SunBeam Electric Standing heater and the difference is significant. The Delonghi is about the same size, cost about the same but is maybe twice as effective. So much so that we were surprised the first time we used it. Also looks modern and can be wall mounted. Highly recommend.
