As my wife and I are perfectionistic designers, sifting through the vast variety of the space heaters available on the market was some task. We finally decided on one which would provide a slow constant wamth versus the hot air bast-types such as heat fan elements, coil heaters, etc. resting on the idea of purchasing a radiated type. We read the reports on DeLonghi products in general which overall had been favorable. We made the decision to purchase the non-timer version of the TRH0715T, the TRH0715. Although slighlty less expensive, in hind sight I think we would've spent the extra money and got the timer version. We have still to recieve our electricity bill, but guess it much more economical than slappiing down $1,500 for heating oil. The two we purchased, heat our main floor nicely (1,300 sq. ft.), and is not too inconvient when moving heaters from room to room if/when necessary. The overall design is thoughtfully provided in the form of a stealth high-heat resistant plastic handle, 4 castor-roller type wheels, a cord wrap attachement, and aerodynamic heating fins. The heat is slow and constant and does not get "burning hot" like coil-element heaters (I still don't suggest touching it however). This was a good purchase and we feel very good about the price we paid. If you're looking for a non-avant garde designed heater which provides a good steady soft heat, this is the one!

This little heater works well! The snap-down wheels made it very easy to install (no assembly required). The thermostatic variable control works well (unlike some others I have tried). Some reviewers reported smelling an oil or paint smell when they first turned it on, however, I did not have that issue at all. Since I only obtained my heater at the end of this years heating season, I haven't yet fully tested the high heat setting, but on the low setting, it kept my 20 x 14 foot room quite comfortable this spring. It makes no noise that I have been able to tell, except a very slight click when the heater turns on at the thermostat setting.

I got this for our 3-year-old daughter's room as for some reason she does not seem to like the sound of a radiant heater. It does a decent job of boosting the heat level in the room, which she needs because she tends to kick off her blankets during the night. I wouldn't rely on this alone to heat a room unless it was a very small room. The top and back do get hot, although you'd have to keep your skin in contact with it for several seconds to actually get burned; bumping into it should not cause any burns. I haven't noticed any odors or noises from it.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi TRH0715 Oil Filled Radiator

We've had this for about a week. It does a great job of keeping my daughter's 12x12 foot room warm all night when on low setting (700 watts) and about half on the thermostat setting. We left it on full blast in the garage for three hours when we first got it, and it definitely gave off an oil smell. We moved it to the bedroom after that & no smell at all. It does get a little hot to touch, so not for use around small kids, nor can you put it against draperies or furniture.

Have owned a heater just like this one for over five years now. It will not burn you, or a child, but gets very warm. With a box fan running quietly on low next to it to keep air moving over it, can keep three rooms relatively warm all night in coastal NC with one of these. It will drop into the teens here sometimes at night.

Feel safe with this heater for it would be hard to accidentally start a fire with it. Just ordered another one for I am going to let my LP gas provider have their tank back as soon as I use most of the fuel in it. Then, purchase my own LP tank. It's cheaper to use this along with my heat pump instead of just the heat pump alone. With LP heat for backup, Stay cozy no matter how cold it gets or if the power grid should fail.

Update: Do not understand the negative reviews outlining so many problems. Received my second oil filled heater, tested it for many hours and found it to work fine just like the one I have been using for many years now. Have owned many types of electric heaters. Like these oil filled units the best. Do not mind leaving my home with one running but it is definitely best to turn all portable heaters off when unattended. It has an overload/high temp automatic safety shutoff for safety. Use a 15 amp power strip on them with a 15 amp circuit breaker for extra safety.

Feburary 13, 2010: Both of my electric oil filled heaters are working fine as usual. Have had no problems at all with either of them. It's currently snowing outside tonight. Am using nothing but my two oil filled electric heaters with fans running quietly next to them to keep my home cozyhave shorts on. Propane prices are currently right high around here. Have plenty of propane gas on hand if the power grid should fail. My older model heat pump is not all that energy efficient. Like these cozy and quiet little heaters. Got another electric bill today. It was much lower than I thought it would be using these heaters with the thermostat on them set at a reasonable level.

Have popped plenty of 15 amp fuses and tripped breakers with 1500 watt portable electric heaters over the years. Especially in my motorhome. You can use a long, heavy duty, 12 guage extension cord with it on a 20 amp circuitno problem. Don't use anything lighter than a short 14 guage cord. Personally, will not be using a 14 guage extension cord, of any length, with a load like this. Have spare fuses on hand unless you have circuit breakers or are using a 20 amp circuit. It's a pretty heavy load for a 15 amp circuit.

Dec. 7, 2010: Am again using my two trusty oil filled heaters with box fans quietly running on low next to them to keep my house warm. An Artic blast has hit early this year. It's cold outside. Have five smoke alarms in my home for safety. Am just wearing shorts as usual. One good thing about these heaters for me is that I can sit a stock pot, tea kettle or whatever on top of them in order to quickly get more moisture into the air. Just don't let any water spill onto the control unit side of the heater. Be forewarned that if you use a fan to increase the heat output and move more air through these heaters, you'll keep the heater cooler and thermostat energized putting out more heat in your home. Therefore, it'll use more energy unless the thermostat is set on a really low setting.

March 2012: Have gotten through another Winter with these same two oil filled heaters, saving significant money on energy in the process. Am quite fond of these two heaters. Feel safe with them and late model ionization AND PHOTOELECTRIC smoke alarms throughout my home. Photoelectric smoke sensors are important to detect slow smoldering fires before the fumes get you. If paper or something similar falls aganist the bottom of one of these heaters, it's just no big deal. Being able to use one with a stock pot of water on top of it to get more moisture in the air makes a big difference. Higher indoor humidityat least 40% is MUCH better for the respiratory system in the Winter. When the water is gone, I can soon tell without even looking to see if it is empty. The water gets warm but not too hot to be hazardous to anyone. Just keep the water away from the control unit side of the heater.

It's as cold as a meat locker where I work. I even had maint. come and close the 4 vents around my desk and still froze. I had a little heater but I could set it chest high, 6 inches from me and I'd still have to wear a snuggie! This heater is FANTASTIC!!! It warms the entire area, and I've found myself turning it down and eventually off, because I feel like I'm in a rotisserie.

It works great, it's small and compact, and it's not loud and annoying! GET ONE! :)

This worked well with 5 days/week use for a few years. I like that you can lay the heater on its side to heat more floor area. However, recently as I've been laying it down for floor heat, it has been making a lot of noise. About 2-3 weeks later, it just doesn't work at all anymore. Too bad.

It's not the best heater I've ever used (I'm usually either cold or too hot with this heater no good medium), but it's pretty good.

This little heater is powerful enough to heat a small room in a very short amount of time. I have used many space heaters and this is easily one of the best. The only drawback is that it is somewhat louder than others in its class but what you get in heat makes up for the noise. I recommend this product and would definitely purchase again.

It worked good when it works. Sometimes, the fan stopped working and produced burning smells. However, it turned off automatically. The temp control was inaccurate but it worked for a full winter and it still works. Not bad but not the best.

It is loud but warmed my place. It is OK product and worth the price.

Customer Ratings:

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program First, I should mention that I own two other very similar units; this is a slight step down from one and a step up from another. Living in Florida, we are prone to hurricanes and extended power outages. A few years ago, we had 3 storms blow through in 4 weeks and went 10 days without power. It was hot, humid and oh so very uncomfortable. I decided to purchase a small Frigidaire window AC that could easily run on a generator to at least help get some sleep at night. It worked so well we purchased a second unit (larger) to place in the bedroom at night in order to keep the room at my comfortable 64 without having to use the central AC for the entire house. We live in an area of extremely high electric bills...some of the highest in the nation...so cooling only one room versus the entire house paid for itself almost immediately. I was hooked! Our current one, very similar to this model, has now been in use daily for at least 6 hours each evening for several years and performs admirably.

This model is almost exactly the same as the one we currently own except it is not energy star rated and actually seems a bit more powerful despite the fact it's rated at 10,000 BTU. Installation is very easy; you will want to add something to the typical side panels which are as flimsy as ever. The remote is a very nice addition and item we use constantly. The ability to set the temperature, time etc is great. The new sleep feature is a GREAT addition as it continues to lower the temperature allowing for comfort while waking and sleeping. For those of you who tend to wake up at 3 am...try reducing the temperature at 2 am...researchers have found this to be a natural way of combating many sleep problems associated with hormones and sleep cycles.

This unit does a great job cooling down a single room (advertises 500 square ft) even in the hot humidity of Florida. It's a bit loud you will want to place it outside of the talking zone and away from the television etc..having said that, although a bit on the loud side, it's a constant sound and not annoying. No rattles or hissing...just a steady but loud hum.

One problem with this current model is the packaging; everything is boxed and protected EXCEPT the front panel! Ours arrived damaged; since this was a Vine product we did not return it but it should be noted, packaging makes no sense whatsoever. The front panel is flimsy and prone to damage especially without adequate protection which this lacks. Since the front panel is so visible, this is a major flaw and one likely to result in substantial returns despite the fact that the unit works great...it will just look awful. Why this oversight is beyond me; everything else in the box including the power cord was protected, wrapped and looked able to withstand nearly anything. Very odd.

Aside from the packing problem, these are little work horse units that can save a substantial sum of money over cooling an entire house especially in high heat areas like Florida. This has a cool or fan feature and will definitely keep a set temperature. I like to set it at 64 and it tends to fluctuate a couple degrees as the condenser kicks in and goes up/down but otherwise, does the job. Has an easy to clean filter, nice little remote control, easy installation which you will want to enhance for both safety and security but otherwise, plan on an hour to take out of the box and have running.

So, positives: great price, cools well, nice remote, easy installation, digital read-out, thermostat, presets, versatile and saves money on the electric bill. Also fantastic solution for back-up to whole house AC during storms, outages, other events.

Negatives: packing is problematic! Protects everything other than the fragile front panel which is likely to arrive damaged as ours did. A bit on the loud side. This is not rated an energy efficient model but seems to cool even faster/better than similar sized older model from same company.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I haven't had a lot of use for this as summer cooled off and Fall came quickly. But there were a few scorching hot days and this came in handy.

This was easy to install, the wings attach and slide nicely. This isn't my first a/c with remote control function but I never stop appreciating it. This one has all the features on the remote. This unit has a sleep setting, an automatic setting to set the right fan speed to the temperature changes. This makes it more energy efficient. Some complain that it is loud but I don't notice a difference between any other air conditioners. We'll see how it holds up next summer as I'm sure that will be hotter then this one.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program In general most air conditioners cool well unless there is a mechanical problem. A unit of this cooling BTU's can cost anywhere from $150.0 to a little over 300.00. What males the difference are features. remote controls, mountings etc. Some units can be mounted with in slide in cases etc. This unit is somewhere in the middle. A very nice set features, consistent temperature regulation and most important to me low interior noise. It is not the most quiet but nicely quiet. It is well made and offers good value for the money spent.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire FRA103CW1 10,000 BTU 115-Volt Window-Mounted Compact Air

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I live in an old house without central air and depend on window units for any air conditioning. Moreover, I sleep upstairs, the hottest part of the house. This unit is doing a great job! I've never used an air conditioner with a sleep function before, meaning I've often awakened in the night bathed in sweat or shivering under the covers, depending on whether I guessed too high or too low when I set the A/C for the night. In addition to the sleep function, this one operates with a thermostat, which makes it much easier than trying to guess what combination of fan speed and cooling effort will do the best job. The remote control is the final piece of the puzzle, since if I am uncomfortable, I can tweak the settings without getting up.

I also like the vent function. The fan setting on many air conditioners only recirculates room air, rather than drawing in fresh air from outside. If the nighttime temperature cooperates, all the cooling I need is a box fan exhausting hot air in one window and something bringing in cool air in another.

I had no problem with the packaging and appreciated that it was designed in a way that allowed me to lift the box off the air conditioner, instead of having to wrestle it up out of the box. It came out of the box in perfect shape. One touch I really liked was that it included not only side panels and compressible foam strips in the installation kit, but also adhesive weather stripping.

It's a little loud (especially on high) if you're planning to use it in your bedroom. I've never had an air conditioner I actually considered quiet, though, and this one isn't worse than others I've used. The vent controls seem to be a little biased toward the left, which is okay where my bed is located but is something you may want to take into account when considering your setup.

I really don't know how the weight compares to others of this size, but I do know I have a Westinghouse 8000 BTU downstairs that stays down there because it weighs way too much for me to wrestle it upstairs, so for me, this one compares favorably. I'm glad I could get it up there; I'm really enjoying having it.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program In this day and age window air units are a dime a dozen. I think most people look at three things when shopping for one; the brand name, the BTU and the energy saving, possibly in that order. With Frigidaire's FRA103CW1 you more or less get two out of three and that's not bad.

Branding is known it's a Frigidaire and I had no worries that the unit would work as advertised and be easy to set up and use. The full function remote is a sweet, sweet addition and honestly if you think you'd never use it then I politely beg to differ. Being able to fine-tune the temperature at the press of a button from 20 feet away, as opposed to just letting it 'do its thing' might be the difference in a fair amount of savings in the long run. I use the remote a lot usually when things are getting just a little too cold and I think you will too. Aesthetically its a box no trimmings here to potentially disguise what it is but that's okay. The read out is bright and fan adjustments with variable speed is a nice addition. The built in dehumidifier is also welcome.

The BTU as you can see, is 10K and that's a chunk of change and will very quickly cool a small room and even an entire open-plan floor of a house or apartment. This unit is super cooling albeit a tad noisy (although no where near the noisiest window unit I've owned). So there's no issues with the BTU figure and for the price I'm impressed.

So that leaves energy saving and ultimately how much you'll pay to run it. Well this unit runs at 9.4 amps and that's on the high side. If you have anything else on the same circuit, especially a fridge, toaster or microwave then you may see some brown outs. Make sure you run it on a fairly unused line if possibly. The amperage draw will cost you more, the price of which is dictated by your Kh/W per hour costs currently around 12-20 cents although your number may be wildly different. I advise you to check into the costs to run this unit versus say the FRA106CV1 and see if paying the extra cash for a more energy efficient unit is worth it in the long run. Don't get me wrong, this is still well within normal amounts but this is just a reminder that there are alternates out there, even from Figidaire itself.

As a final note, this item is usually delivered in its retail packaging. Something to keep in mind if it's going to sit on your doorstep or porch all day. It's not incredibly heavy though so if you're out of town perhaps a neighbor can bring it in.

So, easy to install, looks okay, priced right and super cooling. Can't ask for too much more. Recommended.

I bought this AC unit during the excess heat wave this summer. The unit, (once properly vented) works really well for cooling my bed room but it shuts off when the water needs drained. Durning these hot temperatures this is after only 2-2.5 hrs. Draining the water is not an easy task because the drain is only 1 inch from the floor so you can only use a really really shallow dish. It does come with a hose to connect to a drain for continous drainage but the drain must be below or at the same level as the AC unit.

This drainage problem makes the unit NOT useful for long term cooling (you can't run it all night or use it to cool while at work)

As a long term solution I am working on buidling a stand to set the unit on for continous drainage into a bucket but it is heavey and vibration makes noise a problem. Other portable AC unit have a collecting bottle which is easy to revome for drainage.

I bought my Sunpentown in May of 2005. When it arrived the LED display was broken and the 12,000 BTU air conditioner was not capable of cooling my 150 square foot room. I called Sunpentown and explained the situation. They said that as long as the output temperature was 20% cooler than the input temperature the unit was considered to be functioning properly.

Do the math. If your room is 95 degrees, a 20% reduction means that the air coming out of the AC is still a sweltering 78 degrees! A 12,000 BTU air conditioner should turn my tiny room into a meat locker, even on the hottest days. The Sunpentown struggled to make the room comfortable anytime the temperature exceeded 80 degrees. Since the LCD was broken I decided to have them replace my unit hoping that I might get a better one. The second unit worked as poorly as the first, but at least the LCD was visible.

As others have noted, drainage is a constant issue with these units. Mine would only run for 3-4 hours before drainage was required so I wound up putting it on a stand and running a hose from the discharge area to a 5 gallon bucket. There is simply too much water produced for it to successfully blow out the exhaust hose. It should be noted that my unit only had 1.5 feet of exhaust hose with no bends so it was an ideal installation. If you have any bends in the hose it will only make matters worse.

In August 2006 the unit quit cooling the air. The compressor would kick on, but no cooling occurred. I called Sunpentown but since my unit was 3 months over the 1 year warranty they wouldn't do anything. My only option was to ship the unit to their facility at my cost, have them diagnose and repair the unit at "flat rate" (but they wouldn't discuss specific prices) and ship it back to me at my expense.

Not wanting to incur $175 in shipping charges PLUS the unspecified repair fees just to return my Sunpentown Portable Air Conditioner to its unacceptably poor level of functionality I sent my unit to a place it truly belongs THE LANDFILL.

If a normal window unit won't work for you, save yourself a lot of money/time/aggravation and buy a giant industrial size fan. Sunpentown builds lousy products and provides lousy service when those products fail.

My experience with a Supentown Portable AC Unit is very similar to what 'Thorion (Rome, NY)' reported. I purchased a WA-1200E in June 2006 and it died last week (end of June 2007). This unit was lightly used (less than 10 hours per week during warm months only) . I contacted their support staff and, although they were prompt to reply, they indicated that the unit was out of warranty and that nothing was covered. They gave me the option of shipping the unit (85 lbs) at my own expense back to their warehouse in CA. They would then determine what part(s) failed and charge me for the replacement parts, labor and return shipping. Their other suggestion / advice was to take it to a local repair shop of my choice and have them find out the problem...then order the replacement parts from them. Either way....TERRIBLE! For a costly unit like this it should last way longer than 12 1/2 months. DO NOT BUY!!!

Honest reviews on SPT WA-1230E 12,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control

I was shocked at how useless this thing was. I would turn this unit on immediately when I come home from work. The initial reading on the unit would say something like 95% (house was all closed up). The unit could not even drop the room temperature below 90%. After about 1hr the exhaust hose would radiate so much heat into the room that the unit made a better heater than air conditioner. The vents blow upwards as if to cool the ceiling. You cannot adjust them vertically. The unit is also very loud.

I returned the unit after giving it a try for about 3 weeks. The other pain is returning this. You have to put it back in the box it came in with all the paper work and then carry this 85 pound box to a fedex place to have it shipped back to the manufacturer. You have to pay shipping to send it back and you are not refunded that amount. Plus there is a 6% restocking fee.

Good riddance.

I bought this product in the summer of 07. I live in a room over the garage that gets the brunt of the sun and therefor reaches 78-80 degrees even with the AC on. At first the unit after running for a couple hours would drop the temp to 72 on a summer day but no lower. The first spring/summer I did not have to change the water at all. The next spring/summer it could only drop the temp down to 73-74 and I had to change the water 5-6 times. Now only less than 3 years later we are in the midst of our first 80 degree week. The unit is only dropping the temp to 75 and I've had to change the water twice in two days.

Please read everyone's review about how hard it is to change the water. I can confirm every complaint.

If I had to do it over I would have gone another route towards cooling my room.
