DeLonghi DL2401TF

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.

good heater that does the job, but my electricity smart meter goes nuts when i turn on the booster f – Nice heater that works well. But beware! When you turn on the electric fan boost switch, go outside and look at your meter (I have a digital smart meter attached to solar panels) I noticed that my most recent electricity bill was higher than usual. Having no other heating operating (I have split system reverse cycle a/c but haven't turned it on… Read more

for over 12 months) I knew that culprit was probably this heater (and I was right) as soon as I turned on the electric fan boost switch, the red light on my smart meter (that denotes power usage, every time it draws down on electricity) was starting to send messages in Morse code!!! As soon as I turned off the electric boost switch, the red light activity died down to only occasional intermittent flashing. Like I said before it is a good heater that quickly heats an average sized room, but it is certainly NOT power efficient. (well not with the fan booster switch turned on) Other than it being greedy on the electricity, it is sleek, easy to move around and sends out a nice radiant warmth. Just keep in mind that the fan boost is not good left on permanently and WILL affect your electricity usage.

Good and powerful heater – Just bought this heater last month, it took me a while to realise it's really an energy friendly product. I was intended to get a cheap oil column heater, but my friend suggest me to get DeLonghi as it's more powerful and much warmer by using the same amount of electricity. After all, it's pretty energy saving for long hour using after… Read more

testing.

It cost me around $5.03 for 7.5hrs, which means around $0.68 per hour.

If I use my air con for just an hour to warm up the living room plus an hour of using the little fan heater, that will cost me more than $2 for an hour.

So my conclusion is this heater actually is pretty good for people stay at home for long hours, but not for instant and short time warm up, like have to use it for more than 3 hours to achieve its energy saving purpose (as it cost me around $4 for 3 hours heating).

The only draw back for it is the plastic smell when it's on...it's a bit frustrating to open the window to get the smell away or not as that will cool down the area as well...hopefully it will go away soon...

Great heater that warms a room effectively – Had one of these heaters and used it in the bedroom and it worked very well. The timer is great to set the heater to come on before you get up in the morning and before bed in the evening. Only issues with it were that one of the feet snapped off so we had to do some home handymanning to make it ok to use again. After having this for a few… Read more

months we bought another heater (were convinced to buy a Dimplex OFRC24TIB 2400W Eco 11 Fin Column Heater for $20 more than this model). It was the worst! Was meant to heat up 8 times quicker and emit 30% more heat than standard oil filled column heaters, but it did not heat up the bedroom in the time it took the DeLonghi and could not heat a room bigger than a bedroom. Took it back and swapped it for another DeLonghi and it is great. We use one it in the bedroom and one in the kitchen/breakfast room (much bigger than a bedroom) and it warms up the whole room reasonably efficiently (we put the timer on about 45 mins before we get up) and is quiet. Timer, fast heating of even large rooms, inexpensive, quiet, fan for added heat cicrulation/ One of the feet snapped off

Permanently in the bathroom – We have been using this for almost a decade now. It's always been in my small bathroom. 3 min before shower it goes on. Strongly recommend.Very durable Show details

Very happy – It quickly fills our two bedroom home to be cosy. Distributes heat well. Haven’t got a bill yet, but it’s seems to maintain heat efficiently as we are turning it down/ to thermostat/ off not too long after switching it on. For the price, very affordable. I’m very impressed as was worried that I wouldn’t find something suitable after reading lots of reviews of a range of heaters. Very happy! Show details

Heaterq – We had two of these heaters but in a large house it didn’t heat up enough,they were good in a small room which we could feel the heat.It actually took a while to heat up Show details

Smell no good – It heats up our bedroom well enough but I can't use it at the max power because the smell becomes too much. At lower and medium power level, smell is hard to detect. I followed the instruction of heating at highest level for at least 2 hours initially but the smell is still strong.  Show details

DeLongi oil heater modelTRRS1224T – I bought the oil heater last winter and stopped using it because of the plastic fumes. This year last week started using it again, and couldn,t put in on high because of the fumes and was getting headaches from it, so was interested in the feedback on this site. I have tried at least a dozen times putting it on but after 30 minutes the … Read more

headaches come back. I dont know whether to throw it out (it wasn,t cheap} or over time does the plastic smell go.

I have had in on for 3 hrs with the doors open to try to get rid of the smell - but that didnt work either. Could

someone come with some ideas as I cannot keep taking tablets for the headaches.

Really good value compared to other heaters around $800 to $900 – Yep ! 5 star product It does not get much better. This heater bought for $159 is perfect. I have never had an oil heater before. This heater heats a 12’x12’ room On setting 1 thermostat 2. Well done !!!!Go get one !!!! Temp setting a little tricky but easy once you work it out. Show details

Heats up the room quickly – We purchased this for our daughters bedroom as it gets as low as 10 deg in there at night and wakes up because she’s cold. Plugged it in 30 mins before bed time and came back in and the room had gone up 8 degrees. The fan works a treat and heats the room up much quicker than an oil heater without one. It took me a while to work out how to set… Read more

the timer as the instructions were not help whatsoever. I had to look for videos on how to set it and the thermostat.

I will be purchasing another one for our sons room when he moves in there as his room is even colder.

Heating – This De Longhi has been very efficient over a number of years we use this in our bedroom to come on early to take the winter chill away, backing up our radiator system which come on later Show details

oil heater – tl put the heater on low straight away and have left it on low and it is great for keeping our room just the right temperature with out switching off and on we have 2 old heaters witch switch of and on that allows the rooms to get cold this one is just great Show details

Excellent product saved heaps on my power bill and easy to use – This heater is excellent we just set the thermostat and leave it over the colder days and keeps the room at a perfect temperature. Will be getting another one soon for the kids room. Show details

Great heater – I’ve had my heater for a number of years and also have a smaller model which I occasionally use in the second bedroom. I leave it on the lowest setting throughout the winter which keeps the chill off the room. I very rarely have to to turn it up any higher which I would have to do if I was turning it on in a cold room. It heats a living/dining room area of a unit plus the kitchen as I can’t close that off. Show details

Lovely and cosy to sit near – Works well in a room. Only use it in the bedroom and keeps it cosy and warm. Not great in large spaces. Maintains temperature and is not noisy or gives out fumes. Easy to wipe down the dust. Show details

Perfect – This heater is perfect for heating my bedroom, it does a great job without making the room feel stuffy. Column heaters can take a while to heat up, so you need to turn it on at a reasonable hour to have your room warm when ready for bed. A great back up on those extra cold nights. Show details

Love it! – It helps avoid the dryness in the air when using it. Easy to function and store it. The heat comes up quick too. You may get it discounted from Harvey Norman Show details

Takes the Chill off the room – I am using it in a medium size lounge room and it takes the chill off the room but doesn't make it warm. Which is fine for me but for people that feel the cold they would need something a little stronger. It heats to a level I would expect for that type of heater. Show details

Awesome – Really does the job what it says. Very comfortable. Even if the temperature is low it really warm in just few minutes and gives us huge comfort. Happy with the purchase. Show details

perfect – we are so pleased with our purchase of the Delonghi heater. Living in a very large home it meets our needs and warms even the largest room. Can recommend it . Show details

Very efficient heater – I bought this heater and after the initial smell the smell went and I found it to be O.K. Most heaters have an initial odour at first, so bear with it. This heater heats a reasonably sized room easily. Very happy with this product Show details

Efficient, quick and silent – It’s one of our best purchases so far. It quickly warms up our 4x4 room while the door is closed or our kitchen and dining area (4x7 sqm with high ceilings). We put it on Low overnight and in the morning our room is nice and warm to wake up and change. It’s silent and comforting. It has a thermostat so after the room gets to your desired… Read more

temperature it turns off and turns on if it gets lower than that temperature. It also has a fan for quick heating of room when we get home. Happy with our purchase and would recommend it to others.

Good product – Excellent product to have it in the house for those who have not big space. The heater was not jut over heated but can be set to the room temperature. It not that heavy to remove the heater however be aware to use this if you have baby or crawler.  Show details

Plastic Odour – I left the new heater on in a well ventilated room for the recommended 2 hours to clear away product odour. I used it in the bedroom that night and the fumes gave me a migraine! I will run it again to clear odours and should be ok. Other than that it was light and easy to transport and throws out a very good heat. It will replace the reverse cycle heater/cooler which I find works better in hot weather.  Show details

Great heater – I live in the country and when the weather gets quite cold overnight, it easily keeps us all cosy and warm. And during the cold days, it stays in the lounge room. We have a large lounge room and once we close everything up, it easily keeps the room warm. Keeps the missus and toddler happy so that's all that matters. I like the fan feature which can quickly heat up the room.  Show details

Great safe Heater – Hey there, We have had our Delonghi DL2401TF for a very long time...its safe, convenient...and heats up at just the right temperature...You can never go wrong with one of these. I simply love it during those cold winter nights...And another fun fact...its safe for the kids to handle as well. Jade  Show details

Best heater but making some tick tick noise – Bought this heater from Harvey Norman in April last year. Like it running without the fan though. Only turning the fan on for initial 15-20 mins as oil heaters normally take a little longer make the room hot/warm. Timer is also a plus to buy this heater however I don't really use it. I am giving 4 stars as it is making some noise which can be… Read more

ignored as it is not very loud. Once I get into sleep mode I don't hear it.

I am going to contact Harvey Norman in terms of Warranty soon. I will re-post with feedback from Harvey Norman.

Perfect for warming up the bedroom – This heater is great - it has even heat distribution, adjustable temperature and fan speeds. The best feature is the timer - I use it for my babies room so I know on the freezing cold nights I can set it and know my precious little one will be toasty.  Show details

a good second heater – The heater is used as a second heater in our lounge room so when the gas heater turned off the oil heater turned on. This would conserve the gas. We also used it in our motorhome to keep warm while traveling in the cold months. Would recommend for small rooms. Heat is toasty warm.  Show details

good and effective – Our central heating has broken sometime before and have to wait for couple of weeks to get it fixed. So thought of replacing with some good one's which can heat our big master bedroom. TGG had some good deal with this product and reviewed some comments on web. Got it and really happy with the performance so far. Love the timer functinality which… Read more

is really helpful to control the heat. It was bit confusing to set up at early times. But days go by you can get good idea about it..
