Comment:
We have owned a previous version of this unit for several years and it keeps on working. Alomsot every other space heater I have owned has failed within 3 years, so this one gets top marks for reliability.<br />Yes, the exterior of ours gets too hot to touch but I think the newer models have some sort of shielding to minimize the risk of contact with a hot surface.<br />The unit does make a little bit of noise as the oil heats and circulates, not a constant noise and certainly not bothersome. The newer units may make less noise but I do not consider the noise obnoxious nor intrusive. For more heat distribution, place the unit near a forced air outlet (air vent) on the floor so the central heat fan will blow over it whenever it kicks on.
How long have you owned it:

Comment:
I've owned one of these before and used it in my bedroom for at least 10 years. It kept my very large bedroom warm. Recently I moved and left that heater behind so I had to buy a new one. I've had the new one for a couple of months and it seems to be working just fine. As everyone has mentioned, it takes a while to heat the room up, but, once warm, it keeps the room warm. The heater is very quiet. I keep it on virtually 24/7. The reason I bought this kind of radiator-looking heater is because I like to throw my clothes over the top for a few moments to heat them up before putting them on. For my needs, I consider this an excellent space heater.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
The plug melted including the surge protector it was plugged into. Despite correspondence with DeLonghi, it appears I will be discarding the unit, since it non-repairable.
