Reviews recommend oil-filled, radiator-style heaters for well-insulated rooms where the heater will be on for long periods of time. Like other heaters of this type, the DeLonghi SafeHeat Oil Filled TRD0715T takes quite a while to heat up initially, but then provides steady quiet heat. It's the top-ranked heater of this type, but we found many reports of quality-control issues, including some units that smell bad even after months of use. Owners also report that the SafeHeat design doesn't provide as much heat as earlier models, sending heat out the top instead of the sides.
We found the best comparison review of the DeLonghi SafeHeat Oil Filled TRD0715T heater at ConsumerReports.org, where it's ranked in relation to 13 other electric space heaters based on ratings for safety, temperature control, noise and ease of use. Owners also highlight some problems at a forum at ConsumerReports.org. We found the most owner-written reviews of the DeLonghi TRD0715T heater at Amazon.com, but reviews at other sites are also useful. At Sears.com, several owners reviewing a similar DeLonghi heater report oil leaks.
