A very nice heater! I compared one of my 15 year old "hardware" store radiator heaters, and wow. More technology, heat, and efficiency. Working great with my other 2 DeLonghi heaters. Glad I got it.
Does it's job very well with some drawbacks. The analog timer is fiddly and can't be bypassed manually without completely resetting the time or changing the program. The heater also lacks Eco mode found in other heaters costing less. I bought this model for it's more efficient fin design and because I as unable to fin the Dragon 4 Pro model available. It too has major drawbacks being digital and extremely difficult to program because it's not intuitive at all. As for this model, I've plugged it into an electronic space heater thermostat and I leave the heater turn all the way up in the medium heat setting. That way my electronic thermostat has full control of the unit and does a better job maintaining room temperature. It also provides manual override abilities when needed without losing any time settings.
I bought this for my house last Christmas. Works great and heats large area . Importantly, it makes absolutely no noise. This year, I bought exact same model for mother-in-law. And even she approves.
I bought this model because it was highly rated on Wirecutter and I'm not sorry. It is very well constructed, easy to operate, and pumped out enough heat to keep us comfortable in the living room while our central heating system was being replaced. Only improvement might be carrying handles on both sides of unit so it can be easily carried over steps when still too hot to touch.
I bought this for a small room but it does not heat the room well at all. I can feel the heat coming out of the top but as soon as im a foot or 2 away from it and im cold again. I am very disappointed in this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

took a few attempts to figure out the thermostat but works great - I have it set to turn on in my office an hour before I arrive and it makes it a lot nicer to get to work in the morning
