I bought this space heater after searching for something to quickly heat up my bedroom in the winter, so I wasnt running the whole house heater all evening. I have had this for 5 months now and it has worked flawlessly! The remote is super handy as well. From the remote you can turn the power on, turn swivel off and on, increase the temp setting, and change the mode. Thats the other great thing it has a mode that just blows air like a fan, a low heat setting and a high heat setting. It also has an eco setting, but Im not quite sure what that does. The ONLY drawback Id say for this, is that you cant sent the timer from the remote. You have to set the timer on the unit itself. The timer is great too, you can set it for 30 minute increments, up to several hours. Ive never tested it, but it also has a tip feature that shuts the machine down if it falls over. Sorry to disagree with the other reviews, but this heater has been great for me!

I bought 2 of these. One quit working after 3 months. The other one is still going strong. So, overall, taking the average, I'd give 2.5 stars. The still working unit is great.Best Deals for DeLonghi TCH7690ER Safeheat 1500W 28 In. Tower Ceramic Heater
When it works, it works well. However I have had a great deal of problem with the unit shutting down almost immediately upon turning it on.After much aggravation it dawned on me that the blower fan was not spinning. I took the unit to my workshop, removed the screws from the rear of the unit, applied WD-40 to each bearing, plugged the unit in and gave the fan a little push to get it going. After a few seconds I turned the unit off and back on no fan action. I got the fan going again and let it run for a few minutes, turned it off and back on again. This time it started up fine.
I reassembled the unit, returned it to the house, plugged it in and it is working fine. All this was done just minutes ago so I do not know if the unit will keep on working properly.
I wanted to put this information out on the WWW to let others know that, if they have the same problem, this may be a solution.
Honest reviews on DeLonghi TCH7690ER Safeheat 1500W 28 In. Tower Ceramic Heater
I don't want to get too philosophical here 'cause this is a after all a product review but this product is yet again another example of cheaply made Chinese garbage.If Companies want to operate in the US they should at least offer products made in this country and as consumers we should all demand that they do. It's not just that the Chinese make products that die prematurely wasting everyone's time and money, we need to realize that it takes the Earth's FINITE resources to make them and dispose of them as well.
Anyway, performance-wise the Delonghi TCH7690 Safeheat 28" tower ceramic heater is the same as any other 1500 Watt heater. Despite the marketing hype you may read from heater manufacturers, 1500 watts of input yields something under 1500 watts of output. That's it, I don't care how you slice it. So if you're in the market for a space heater, I would look for the most attractive, least expensive unit, made in America if it exists. And if not made in America at least backed by a US company that you can actually contact and who will gladly repair or replace the unit when (not if) it fails. This will not be too long if it's made in China.

Like other reviewers, I now have a 28-inch piece of junk. This unit for the past 4 days would not operate properly, and I was too busy with other tasks to return it to Amazon. Well it died today [no red light indicating power], and it's 1 day past the Return policy! So, straight to the Trash.Stay away from this product.
Amazon needs to do a better job of (a) quality control of products they sell, and (b) relaxing their Return policy when devices they sell/ship fail outright.
