I bought a DeLonghi HHP 1500 space heater last winter and was pleased with the purchase. However, the DeLonghi HHP800 space heater I purchased this year is considerably smaller and provides far less heat than that purchased last year for seemingly the same price. Too, I like the look of the black model more so than the new white one. Recommend one stick w/ the HHP1500 to get more bang for their buck (though I don’t actually know what that one is selling for these days). This was an instance where I would have been better off buying at a “brick & mortar” store. There I would have recognized the difference as opposed to doing insufficient research and pulling the trigger on-line. Got this for our bathroom because the description says “it even works well in a bathroom thanks to its water-splash protection and GFI safety plug.” Package arrived, but the box and instructions says nothing about this, and in fact says not to use around such fixtures, etc. Perhaps it is only good for bathrooms that don’t have any fixtures. I bought this heater for my bedroom (15×24) and it works perfectly. The first couple of nights I was so warm I had to get up to turn it down. The 6 thermosat settings work very well. I love that it is silent – but of course that also means that it does not heat the room quickly (takes about 30-60 minutes). My wife now moves this heater to her office each day to stay warm. I would definitely recommend this heater to anyone looking to efficiently heat a room in their home.I bought this for my office (10′x12′) It is cold sitting here by the window. This heater works really well. It make a slight crackle noise when it turns on or changes heating cycles. Ilove the fact that it is almost completely silent.
Also, It does have a slight smell the first time it turns on and heats up. I’ve read other reviews about these types of heaters and posters suggested doing the first heat cycle in a well ventelated area. I just turned it on in my office and it did have that new electronic heater smell, however it went away after a short period of time. I think it was money well spent. read more.
