toaster!
I had a little heater fan from DeLonghi (DFH132), and it was fine but a little weak. I tried out a few heater fans from Honeywell (HFH5555 [worked, but blew a fuse] and HEH8001-U [worked but more fan than heater]) but ended up returning them.
This little heater puts out a good bit of heat. It's sitting behind me right now, in the same spot the heater fan...

It sounds loud...
I am living Iowa city, and the weather is getting colder and colder. So, I bought this small heater to get extra heat for my bedroom. It actually runs very loud, which is quite annoying for me. Moreover, I don't believe the "thermostat" works at all. The manual delusively says that the "thermostat" can be used to maintain the temperature. It is not true. I have to turn it...

toaster!, January 30, 2007
This review is from: DeLonghi DCH1030 Ceramic Heater with Adjustable Thermostat (Kitchen)
I had a little heater fan from DeLonghi (DFH132), and it was fine but a little weak. I tried out a few heater fans from Honeywell (HFH5555 [worked, but blew a fuse] and HEH8001-U [worked but more fan than heater]) but ended up returning them.
This little heater puts out a good bit of heat. It's sitting behind me right now, in the same spot the heater fan used to occupy, and it puts out much more heat. It's also about twice as loud, but that doesn't bother me. The grille on the front gets hot, but I haven't left my hand on it long enough to see if it will burn me. I can make only so many sacrifices for Amazon reviews...
Quite happy with this item.

I have to turn it on and off manually... However, it is cheap. For that reason, we probably should not have high expectation.

Lots of heat for a little cash, October 8, 2008
This review is from: DeLonghi DCH1030 Ceramic Heater with Adjustable Thermostat (Kitchen)
My wife and I bought 2 of these to give our utility budget a break this winter.
This heater puts out alot of heat. The On/Off/Heat Settings switch, along with the Thermostat switch, feel very solid for a ceramic heater this inexpensive. It has a handle so it's easily transportable. Power light goes off when the unit is turned off (unlike others in this price range). Can be turned off (Some other similarly priced heaters need to have you pull the plug for the heater to go off). If it gets too hot, it will shut itself off (Safety feature). It's not whisper quiet but it is certainly not overly loud, as some others have complained. It also has an anti-freeze setting, if that is why you need it.
For the money, I can't see how you can get a better deal on a ceramic heater. I checked out all the similarly priced ceramic heaters here on Amazon, and quite frankly the combination of features, efficient ceramic heating element, solid design and inexpensive price make this a "no-brainer" as far as inexpensive ceramic heaters go. Get 2 and give the gift of ceramic heating efficiency this Christmas. OOPS, politically incorrect. TOO BAD!!!

Small, effective, inexpensive and energy efficient, November 21, 2006
This review is from: DeLonghi DCH1030 Ceramic Heater with Adjustable Thermostat (Kitchen)
I have a fairly small bedroom (8' x 14') in the city in a 2 bedroom apartment. My roommate and I decided to get heaters for our bedrooms for this winter to try to save some money on our gas bill. At first I was suspicious about this small heater's ability to heat my room. My room feels really toasty right now. I am thankful that I gave this a shot. Although I havent received my electric bill yet to compare to our gas bills, I am almost for certain that we saved a bunch of money.
The cool thing about this unit is that there is one knob that controls 2 heat power settings (hi and low) and 1 cool setting. the other knob has the ability to control the strength of heat (cool to hot). I tried the cool setting, it's not as powerful as an AC, but it cools better than a fan.

little workhorse..., November 30, 2006
This review is from: DeLonghi DCH1030 Ceramic Heater with Adjustable Thermostat (Kitchen)
Well, it's lightweight. I can carry it from room to room in a small 1 br apartment where I don't think the heat works. So this little workhorse has saved me. I have had to turn it on or off myself though, as I really doubt the "thermostat" really should be called that. It's not automatic. It does warm up the room fairly well, though. I tried to find something NOT made in China because DeLonghi is an Italian company, but no such luck - it's still made in China. Found it at Frye's for $20, worth it.

Works exactly for what I need it for, October 26, 2009
This review is from: DeLonghi DCH1030 Ceramic Heater with Adjustable Thermostat (Kitchen)
I gave this heater 4 stars. Let me explain....
First, to be realistic about my pros and cons, I know I wasn't getting a top of the line model being that this heater was under thirty bucks. I only needed this to provide a little warmth boost in my 1-year old sons 14' x 12' room.
Pros:
-Pushes a lot of heat for being so small - This was surprising. I have to keep the temp turned only about 1/3 of the way up with the lowest fan setting or else my son's room turns into a sauna.
-Very nice size - it's not tiny, but it fits nicely on my son's chest of drawers along with an alarm clock and piggy bank.
-1 fan, 2 heat options - there is a fan option(no heat), a low and high heat setting. I use the low and imagine that the high setting would push qhite a bit of heat.
-Thermostat - very nice option for what I use it for, once you get it right (see cons). I keep it up about 1/3 of the way and it keeps the room at a semi-constant temp.
-Stays cool to the touch on perimeter - if you put your hand directly in front of the heating element, it's hot (duh), the rest of it stays nice and cool. This was a major concern for me since it stays in a childs room and space heaters having such a bad safety rep.
-Sturdy - I originally had it on the floor and moved it up on a dresser. Neither place was I afraid that it would tip over on it's own
-Overheat switch - It's an option, but I gladly haven't had to see if it works
Cons:
-Slightly noisier than expected - I expected a little noise since it is a little heater but this small fans puts out quite a bit of noise. It's not loud enough to wake my son when it kicks on during the night, but it is loud enough where I had to relocate the baby monitor because it was driving my wife and me crazy.
-Thermostat - this was a pro for having the option alone. The con is that it took me about a week to get it to maintain an even temp exactly where I wanted it. One time it would be too hot, I make an adjustment, then too cold, repeat about 15 times, and it's just right.
If I could give 4 1/2 stars I would. My pros are definite pros, but the cons may be a little petty given the product. I think for a few more dollars DeLonghi could put in a digital thermostat and maybe a slighly quieter fan.
Overall, I highly recommend this.

Not great for office, September 17, 2007
This review is from: DeLonghi DCH1030 Ceramic Heater with Adjustable Thermostat (Kitchen)
I'm using the heater for under my desk at the office. It is a little loud for a quiet office and the lowest temp is really hot. I think it would work great for other uses though.

Excellent value, February 18, 2007
This review is from: DeLonghi DCH1030 Ceramic Heater with Adjustable Thermostat (Kitchen)
I was amazed at the capability this small unit had for heating my entire sitting room. During a heating failure, I found this inexpensive heater to be a godsend. It is a superb value for the price.
I do not use the heater in my bedroom, and shall grant that, if one were to do so, the slight noise might be distracting.

Noisy, bad thermostat, March 8, 2007
This review is from: DeLonghi DCH1030 Ceramic Heater with Adjustable Thermostat (Kitchen)
Good heat. Noiser than I expected. Thermostat allows temperature swings so wide that I have to force it to go on or off by twisting the temperature control or by pluging and unpluging it.
