I live in South Dakota, and for those of you who don't knowit can get VERY COLD here. Right now we're having a little "arctic blast" as the weather service calls it and our high temp today was -1 degrees Farenheit, with wind chills 30-40 below. We have a nice, but older 1960's home with old insulation and windows, plus hardwood floors which makes it harder to keep the rooms warm. This heater is a new model for Delonghi, so there weren't any reviews out there when I bought it so I took a chance on it, and I'm glad I did. It kicks out alot of heat, has a programmable thermostat, and has the option of oscillating which spreads the heat around quite well. As far as the loudness goes, yes it is a bit loud for some people, but certainly not even close to a hair dryer!! . But you do get used to it and its great for white noise if you need that to sleep at night. The only thing I dislike about it is that it beeps every time you change a setting, or move it, which is a little annoying. Overall I like this heater VERY much, it puts out alot more heat than our other Delonghithe DCH1030 (smaller, non-oscillating, no remote, not programmable)and even that one is a good heater. We use the DCH4590ER in the evenings after work in the living room while keeping the house thermostat at about 67 degrees. When its time for bed we move it to the bedroom and set the house thermostat set at 62 degrees to save on gas. In the bedroom we set the DCH4590ER's thermostat set at 67, sometimes 66 degrees, and we are very comfortable under our down comforter. We put our Delonghi oil filled heater in the living room at night for the cats. It keeps the chill off the room nicely and keeps the house heat from kicking on as often. The trick to using these heaters is to not expect them to warm up an ice cold room instantly. It won't happen. But if you just want to keep your house thermostat set lower to save on your heat bill, and use these as supplemental heat sources, they are great. I will update this when I get my next months bills and see if these electric heaters saved me any money.

I have an elderly family member with a lower-circulatory problem and limited mobility, so we needed something to heat localized areas of the house to keep her comfortable. This space heater remote controlled, adjustable thermostat filled the requirements perfectly. Unlike other reviewers, I have no problem with the fan noise -it's a small unit and has to "blow" the air -not terribly loud, but noticeable, definitely not a deterrent for us. The added safety feature (turns off when tipped over) works and has saved us from a couple of mishaps (inadvertent bumps with the wheelchair). It works well in relatively small spaces, heats in seconds, and has proven to be very reliable so far. I'm considering one for the home office (for use in the cooler mornings/evenings).Best Deals for DeLonghi DCH4590ER Safeheat 1500W Digital Ceramic Heater
Everything about this heater sounds great: 24 hour timer, digital display, remote etc... But there is one drawback I should have noticed that was omitted from the desciption -The Noise. This tiny heater is about as loud as a personal hair dryer.A shame it's this loud because it cancels out every other redeeming factor. I returned mine for a refund. 2 stars.
Honest reviews on DeLonghi DCH4590ER Safeheat 1500W Digital Ceramic Heater
Loved this heater. We used it in our baby's nursery to keep the heat regulated overnight while the rest of the house was cooler. It worked great and we felt safe using it. Then after less than a year of use it just stopped working. No reason for it to have stopped. Very odd. So, that issue was disappointing.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for DeLonghi DCH4590ER Safeheat 1500W Digital Ceramic Heater
The heater does provide adequate heat (one star for living up to its name), and the tip switch works (one more star for that feature working). Not suitable for quiet environment. Thermostat sucks.My 10+ year old space heater started to rattle this winter, loud enough to wake me up at night. So I need a replacement. This DeLonghi will not work out. The thermostat control is just inadequate. The unit requires too much manual input. Lowering the thermostat below the desired temp did not turn off the heat. I had to switch modes to turn off the heat, wait for it to cool down, then crank up the thermostat again when I felt a chill. It will turn off by itself when the ambient room temp is above the thermostat setting, but that won't happen until spring.
Smaller nits to pic: I choose this Delonghi because it is the same size and has similar features of my old unit. I expected some wind noise, but it is louder than I am used to. The all-seeing-eye makes a nice night light but not the easiest display to read. The unit BEEPS each time you press the remote. The tone is just about right for a fire alarm, only a little softer. On the topic of fire and space heaters, the tip switch is one of my criteria for choosing this unit, and it works.
