De'Longhi Dragon 4 TRD41025T Oil Filled Radiator - White

Product Information

In fact, one buyer’s review claimed their De’Longhi heater lasted 23 years before giving up the ghost. It’s not surprising though — the venerable Italian appliance company has been around since 1902, so they’ve got plenty of expertise at their disposal. Like with all space heaters, it’s best to use the VonHaus 1,500W oil filled radiator in well-insulated rooms. Keep in mind, too, that this heater is designed for occasional use. Bear in mind, too, that unlike smartphones, radiators don’t undergo improvements on a regular basis. That means a solid older oil filled electric radiator, like the Pro Breeze 2500W, can stay effective for many years before becoming obsolete. At just 1,000 watts, this small oil filled radiator can still keep you toasty in an office, bedroom, dining room, lounge room, or conservatory — as long as you stay nearby. If you’re looking to heat up a large room, this heater won’t have the horsepower to provide optimum coverage; however, it’s well-suited for small- to-medium-sized spaces. The DeLonghi Dragon 4 is larger than many of the basic six or seven fin oil-filled models, measuring around 14 inches long, 6.5 inches wide and standing around 25.5 inches tall. This is still compact enough to sit next to my office chair but a little too tall to fit under a desk – plus with the heat radiating from the top, that probably isn't advised anyway.

The user manual isn’t just a modern Rosetta stone, it’s there to teach you how to operate your new heater. Make sure you understand the safety functions first and foremost, then dig into the advanced programme settings. You’ll learn how to run the heater when — and only when — you need it, enhancing your comfort while reducing your bill. Your manual will also give you crucial maintenance tips, letting you avoid preventable repairs. Learn the Heating Controls Also, some radiators have adjustable settings that change the wattage output. You can also use the above formulas to calculate the cost of each setting.To determine the kWh of your appliance, you convert the wattage into kilowatts by dividing the watts by 1,000. Like the 7-fin variant, the VonHaus 2,500W Oil Filled Radiator is also quite portable thanks to its 4 castor wheels. The built-in thermostat prevents power waste while letting you avoid heating the entire house. The VonHaus Mini Oil Filled Radiator is a great choice if you want a reliable and affordable model. Key Features

The long thermal inertia of the oil inside the Delonghi oil-filled radiator makes it easy to feel the long-lasting warmth inside spaces of up to 75m3.

What stands out

The thermostatically controlled oil-filled radiator keeps electricity bills down and maintains a pleasant temperature. Compared to other heating appliances, oil filled radiators convert nearly all of the energy they consume to heat, meaning they’re incredibly efficient. What’s more, even after you turn the unit off, the oil stores heat and continues to radiate warmth for some time afterwards. It’s equally imperative that your heater can turn off automatically when you don’t need it, and a timer is particularly useful for ensuring your radiator does not consume an excessive amount of energy. How to Get the Most Out of Your Oil Heater Oil-filled radiators will heat a room, but they can’t substitute a central heating system in the winter. Choose the proper radiator for your home. A tiny unit works harder and longer than a huge one in a large space. Instead of putting radiators everywhere, utilise them to warm up the rooms where you spend the most time. Final Thoughts
