Seventy dollars later I had this sucker in my living room preparing myself for a wall of heat to radiate from this unit, warming even my own cold, cold heart. The digital control panel with LEDs allow you to set the desired room temperature, the power level and the timer to suit. Interesting about the high pitched noise; we had my bro's bed set sideways for better access, and the heater was placed a couple of feet behind the headboard.

Vertical Thermal Tunnels are engineered to maximize radiant heat flow while maintaining a low surface temperature. The stylish De'Longhi Dragon 3 Oil Filled Radiator convects air through its unique 'chimney', providing a fast flow of hot air that quickly warms the whole room. Almost impossible to get through to them, and when I did get through they didn't seem to be able to help at all. The built in timer means you can rely on it to warm the room before you wake up in the morning or before you get home from work. We bought this a couple of years ago to be our primary source of heating - our flat had hopeless electric heaters that you had to manually switch on and off when you were cold /hot.They both have multiple heat settings, timers and thermostatic control and the Monhouse also has a fan setting (never used). Millions of people would have to double their incomes to escape financial hardship, says anti-poverty charity Joseph Rowntree Foundation in a new report published today.

It may well have a neat convecting design with that 'chimney' effect, and I can see that being able to get the heat circulating around the wider room more quickly; a faster, funnelled, channel of hot air rising up from the heater will most likely circulate around the ceiling and back down the other side of the room a bit more quickly than one without this design, so it could well be more 'effective' at heating a room more quickly.I did package the item correctly and informed them of this but they still refused to issue refund in full. Some reviewers have claimed that the timer is disturbing noise-wise in the bedroom, others that it is totally silent. Our second highest powered radiator in the range, at a maximum heating power of 2kw, with electric timer.

Smooth rather than finned sides are also safer if a child, or anyone else for that matter, should fall on the heater, as my daughter will testify -- fortunately the scar where she split her skin is under her hair. It doesn't seem to matter where it is placed as the convection "tower" feature chucks lots of hot air into the room. Convenience Features include noiseless operation and anti-freeze setting to maintain minimal heat temperature.Safety Features include thermal cutoff, rust-resistant, durable metal construction, fully enclosed heating elements and gently rounded design. It heats up the room really quickly (office space: around 5 x 7 metres) even with the thermostat on quite a low setting. The cost of purchasing is outweighed by the saving of electricity as for me this heater is a cost effective way to heat a room and at the end of the day you really do get value for money. I had a dragon heater when I had a parrot; it was about the only model that didn't state that it couldn't be left unattended.
