Customer Rating: - Leaked on 2nd use
On the 1st run, this heater performed well. I like the idea of a slow steady heat source that lasts after you turn it off. Heated my 12 x 17 room with no problems.

On the 2nd run, it leaked oil all over my carpet 10 minutes into heating. Dripping right from the bottom on the end opposite the controls. I unplugged it and moved it onto the linoleum and is currently still leaking as I type this.

I like the idea of this heater but I didn't pay $69.99 at BB&B for a !@*$@!!! idea.

Will I try it again? Depends on the defect rate. Maybe there's another radiator brand out there.

Customer Rating: - Worked for 2 days
This heater was great for the 2 days that it worked. It just stopped! I will wait and see if the replacement one works for longer.

Customer Rating: - Good heater but noisy
I bought it, used it for a week and then returned it. The Delonghi TRN0812T heater did a good job heating up my bedroom on days that the outside temperature was about 40-50s. I liked the fact that the temperature fluctuations were mild, which is certainly an advantage oil-filled heaters have over other systems such as coil heaters. The show stopper however, was the noise it made when the thermostat triggered the heating element. It was as if someone was knocking hard on your window: tik, tik, tik ...It woke me up everytime several times per night. This was probably caused by the expansion of the metal sliding over another hard surface, and it is a serious defect in design. I ordered another oil-filled model hoping that it doesn't have this problem...but, that's going to be another review.

Customer Rating: - Good while it lasted
The heater warmed my son's room perfectly when I purchased it earlier this year. I took it out of its box again when the fall season started (2007) and nothing happens. The only sign of life is a very dim light that comes on when I set it to anti-freeze. The light seems to get stronger when I touch the heater... how fun. Anyway, I still think DeLonghi has some innovative products, but I would stay away from this one.
