Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

For instant warmth plus ambiance, this electric stove heater features premium decorative coals, which offer a nice alternative to unrealistic-looking logs, along with a realistic flame effect that functions with or without the heat. The unit requires no installation and can be positioned up against a wall or in a corner of the living room. Simply plug it in and turn it on. A front-access slider control makes it easy to set the unit to off, flame-effect only, minimum power (950 watts), or maximum power (1500 watts). When the room reaches a comfortable temperature, turn the thermostat knob until it clicks; the unit will maintain the set temperature and conserve energy by cycling on and off. For safety, the heater automatically shuts off if airflow becomes obstructed or if the unit starts to overheat. Other highlights include all solid-steel construction, hidden controls for a smooth look, and a glass window that remains cool to the touch, making it safe for children and pets. Because it's a fan-driven appliance, some noise due to airflow should be expected. The stove can be cleaned as needed with a soft damp cloth, and a spare 40-watt light bulb comes included. The electric stove heater measures 13-3/5 by 20 by 22-2/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Product Description

The DeLonghi SFG1031 Electric Stove has two settings for your comfort or turn off the heat to enjoy the flame effect. The electric stove is equipped with a safety thermal cut-off feature. The stove will automatically turn off if the unit becomes too warm. The glass remains cool making it safe for children and pets.

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 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT ELECTRIC HEATER- BAD AMAZON CUSTOMER SERVICE, December 3, 2009

This review is from: DeLonghi SFG1031 Solid-Steel Electric Stove Heater (Kitchen)

I LOVE THIS HEATER-- but first, my gripe about Amazon. I've been a customer for years because Amazon gave the best customer service, including their price policy. Previously, if Amazon lowered
the price of an item within a short period of time of when you purchased it, they refunded you the
difference between the higher price you paid. NO LONGER SO ! Within less than 2 weeks of the
day I purchased this heater--even before it was delivered--Amazon lowered the price about $17.
They would NOT credit my account the difference--saying they changed this policy.I spoke with 2 supervisors to no avail. This heater was expensive even at the first sale I purchased it at-$185.
Then, they lowered it to a new sale price of about $168. As a buyer, it makes me feel like a fool for buying it immediately...it's a NEWLY ISSUED heater by DeLonghi. I tried
unsuccessfuly to tell Amazon that in a very bad economic climate this is sheer stupidity on
Amazon's part to not honor a buyer who buys an item immediately.Now--to the heater. I purchased
it because of the claim that it HEATS UP IMMEDIATELY-- and ,NOT because of the stove affect
or faux burning coals. I live in a rented, very poorly insulated 2 bedroom cottage in Connecticut with old, ineffective electric baseboard heat. Connecticut has one of the 3 highest electric rates in the country--over $300 a month to heat this cottage at only 58 degrees! Last year, I purchased
DeLonghi radiator type heater -- it was great and warmed a good part of this cottage--but takes
almost 2 hours to reach warmth. Since I am NOT using ANY baseboard heat and ONLY the DELONGHI,
I hoped this new DeLonghi stove heater WITH BLOWER REALLY WOULD be INSTANT. Happily, it DOES
HEAT UP IMMEDIATELY. The blower causes the heat to rise and spread out.I am even warmer with just
this one heater with blower than I was last year with the DeLonghi radiator heater without blower. As to cost, it's very economical even with Connecticut's staggering rates. I estimated it would
cost about $100 a month to use this heater 12 hours a day-- every day...and the first month's bill
was that.I'm saving over $200 a month by using only this and NOT the electric baseboard heat.MOST PEOPLE would find it costs MUCH LESS A MONTH because of LOWER ELECTRIC RATES.This use is for the living and kitchen area. This one heater doesn't completely reach the bedrooms
with the same comfort warmth, but I wasn't concerned about that as I use warm comforters for sleep.Most people would use this heater in addition to heat and would find the warmth even better than my own experience.I AM VERY PLEASED with the HEAT OUTPUT and am DELIGHTED I PURCHASED IT. While I didn't buy it for the stove affect, I like it very much.
