Efficiently heats our small 2nd bedroom, but does so at the cost of a fairly loud "click" whenever the thermostat activates/deactivates. The click is loud enough to hear from another bedroom, and tends to wake up our 6 month old baby if he's not in deep sleep. Otherwise, the timer feature and heating power are very good, but you need to be aware of how loud that click is during an otherwise silent night. If they'd fix that annoyance, I'd give this 5 stars.

I have tried a number of supplimental heaters in the geust room of our older home in Seattle and this has been by far the best. It has no problems heating this 140 sq ft room with a large window on the medium power setting. Things I particularly like about this unit are a) Multiple power settings 690W, 780W, 1440W by my meter. Far better than other units which have off and on at ~1500W and therefor should really be the only appliance on a circuit or you risk flipping a breaker or worse. b) Digital Thermostat You can set the unit to within 1 degree of the tempurature you want. Far better than other units I've tried which either have some funky 'temperature' dial or a thermostat in 5 degree increments. Also the thermostat chooses the best power setting (up to the maximum you have set) for a more even heat (less overshooting and undershooting your selected temperature). c) No Fan This means it heats up the room more slowly but it's completely silent. e) Time Programable You can set different temperatures for different times of the day just like most homes now have on their main heating and cooling systems (from personal experience this has saved me 15-20% on heating bills over running at a constant temperature). d) Size It's not too large and reasonably light for this style of heater and will pack away into a small closet when not in use.On the down side no matter how small they are, oil radiant heaters are ugly and the black color makes it stand out even more. Also it would be nice if it had and handle for lifting it. All in all though I'm very happy.
Best Deals for DeLonghi EW7507EB Oil Filled Radiator Heater Black 1500W
The DeLonghi EW7507EB is my first radiant heater.I originally intended to buy the TRD0715T, however when I went to the store to look at it, my wife and I agreed the big red dial for the timer coupled with the weird off white color was simply too gaudy and not condusive to our room's design, not to mention this is 2011 hello? who still uses analog gauges??? I then figured a Digital interface for the heater would certainly make the looks far better. I again did my homework and found this heater (EW7505EB) and the Honeywell version (HWLHZ709). On the Target website, the Honeywell version had 2.5 stars after 51 reviews and many indicated serious issues. That left me with one choice the DeLonghi EW7507EB...
I did find one at Lowe's and noticed it had an additional L at the end of the part number (EW7507EBL) but realized it meant it was for Lowe's version. When I researched this unit on Lowes.com I found that 10 out of 11 gave it 5 out of 5 stars and one person gave it 4 out of 5, as well as no one reporting serious issues, thus I went ahead and bought it. (i got it for 59 bucks)
I have now used it for around a month and I can't be more pleased. It was roughly $10 dollars more than the awful gaudy white version and this one is more energy efficient since it has three temp levels rather than two.
It has a thermostat that is perfect, you can set it to come on and turn off automatically with two different timer profiles. Plus the thermostat is dead on, I put a thermometer in the room I was heating all the way across the room from the heater and the temperature I set was exactly the temperature of the room every time.
It is super quiet, it only makes a click noise when it turns on and off that is hardly noticable.
The heater is not super hot to the touch, it comes with warnings and I would definitly read them (and heed them), but it has not burnt me when I brush against it or touch it for a second or two.
It definitely produces better heat than the ceramic type heaters since it doesn't dry out the air, thus it is a more even constant heat. It also heats pretty quickly, since there are three settings, low, medium, and high, you can choose how fast you want the room to heat up. Additionally in the thermostat mode you can limit it to low and medium or all three to keep the temperature constant.
The last thing that I have only used once is when you leave your house for an extended period of time you can set it for freeze protection. The thermostat turns the heater on when the room reaches 42 degrees to prevent things from freezing. It is convenient to save the money and not have to heat the house when gone.
I love this thing and would definitely buy it again!
