4.0 out of 5 stars
Versatile unit beats the rest, March 7, 2005
This review is from: Delonghi DFH470M Fan Heater with Electronic Climate Control and Timer (Kitchen)
I'll start with what caused me to give it only 4 stars - which are really only nits. First, the LCD display is very hard to read unless you pick up the unit and are looking at it straight on. In a dim room forget about it. They could/should have done away with the curved plastic and added a light. Second, there's a slight ticking sound when its in oscelation mode when it gets to the extreme left of its cycling. Ok, now that that's out of the way ... I love the variable thermostat. The LCD display shows the temperature at which it'll come on. I like knowing the temp and not just some vague high, medium, low setting. We like to keep our house at a certain temp in the winter, but some rooms don't heat as well as others and this easily gets a room up to temp. Our son adjusted the temp dial and before long the room was really really warm - a testement to its heating capabilities. I'm here shopping for a second one.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Greatest heater ever!, June 26, 2005
This review is from: Delonghi DFH470M Fan Heater with Electronic Climate Control and Timer (Kitchen)
I am from IL, so I hate air conditioned cold. I always have space heaters at home and the office. I have to buy them constanty, because they burn out. I have had this one for 2 years now, the programmable timer and temp part are easy and great. I paid almost $60 for this and am about to add this heater to my wedding registry and remove the other one. I didn't think I could still get this one! Great deal. Atlanta, GA

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good heater, 2 complaints, October 19, 2006
This review is from: Delonghi DFH470M Fan Heater with Electronic Climate Control and Timer (Kitchen)
I use this heater under my desk in my office. Overall it is a good heater, but I have 2 complaints. Like another reviewer said, the LCD display is hard to read unless you are looking straight at it in a well-lit area. Under my desk is dark, so I can't ever see the screen. My other complaint is the on/off button. The on/off button turns the heater on as well as adjusts the fan speed. The problem is that the button doesn't have a strong push or click feeling to it (not sure how to correctly describe this), so in addition to not being able to see the LCD screen, I can't always tell if I've pushed the on/off button enough times (or hard enough) to turn the heater off. Plus, there is a slight delay before it actually shuts off. Not a major deal, but something that could be improved. UPDATE: Now moved the fan to the nursery. Something I didn't pay attention to before is that the fan shuts off when the desired temperature is reached. Not a big deal when used under my desk, but in the nursery the clicking on and off wakes up the baby.
