5.0 out of 5 stars
Efficient, well made, November 5, 2009
This review is from: DeLonghi SFG1031 Solid-Steel Electric Stove Heater (Kitchen)
You can spend $180 and buy a heater that provides more output, but as an all around appliance this is as good as I've seen for the following reasons:
1) The heat is sufficient to take the chill off an early morning living room where the outside temps are in the low 40's.
2) The fan noise at maximum is barely noticeable from a few feet away.
3) The unit is very well made of well formed heavy gauge sheet metal (steel) for everything accept the top, glass door and some internal parts. It looks like a small wood/coal stove or maybe even more like a pellet stove.
4) It's easily portable moving from room to room if needed (no bathrooms, or use outdoors).
5) The flame/burning coal effect is very realistic.... much more so than the more common log sets seen in competing units.
6) It looks like a "real" heating appliance rather than some piece of cosmetic junk that passes for "consumer goods" these days.
Obviously, I'm pleased with the unit. It doesn't replace a forced air unit, but for a portable heater it more than met my expectations.

this is an excellent product so far, May 6, 2009
This review is from: DeLonghi SFG1031 Solid-Steel Electric Stove Heater (Kitchen)
since i started using this heater last week, it has proven to be an excellent choice. it is quiet, easy to use, attractive and functional. it does not get hot on the top or sides or even the front glass door, even on the highest setting. the temperature gauge works great and helps to save energy. it heats up a large basement guest room well and even after switching the heater off and unplugging it before sleeping, i noticed that the room stays nice and cosy through the night. granted, it is may and not january but so far i am very happy that i chose this heater!

This review is from: DeLonghi SFG1031 Solid-Steel Electric Stove Heater (Kitchen)
We purchased one of these heaters in October and are very pleased with it.
It is easy to move from one location to another and actually heats two ad
joining rooms in our home.
