Amazon.com Review:
Banish the chills this winter with the energy-efficient Safe Heat Oil-Filled Radiator from industry leader, DeLonghi. Solo, the quiet radiator serves as an alternative heat source in small and medium rooms. The 110-volt radiator also complements a central heating system, bringing warmth to high-use areas while the main system runs on low for more cost-effective heating.

The radiator construction features rustproof metal for even heat distribution and resilience with pure diathermic oil completely sealed inside. Heat radiates through several vertical thermal tunnels while keeping the hot elements enclosed and out of the reach of fingers and other body parts and objects. Three power settings allow flexibility for diverse rooms and personal heating needs. For energy efficiency, the heater runs low at 600 watts or medium at 900 watts to slowly spread warmth. On high at 1500 watts, the radiator brings full heat to the room with extra speed. Users direct the room's temperature for comfort with an adjustable thermostat. With a 24-hour programmable timer, the heater offers 96 options in terms of temperature, wattage, duration, and activation time. An antifreeze function engages should the indoor temperature fall below 44 degrees F, while the heater also automatically shuts off upon knock-over or overheating. Four wheels enable easy transportation from one room to another. The power cord wraps around for storage. DeLonghi advises against placing the radiator too close to power outlet, outdoors, or near flammables. Avoid running the power line under carpets. Thorough safety guidelines and assembly instructions are included. The radiator weighs 23 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Fear of high gas prices caused my husband and I to buy this space heater for our new home. We haven't received an electric or gas bill since we bought it, so I don't know how cost effective the space heater is but I can clearly see what I like and don't like about how it works:

Our bedroom is an average size (9x13) and the heater has the potential to get the room uncomfortably hot at the highest setting. There is a high, medium and low setting for the temperature.

In our living room, however, this space heater isn't the best fit (the room is larger and opens to the dining room which opens to our kitchen). There is no "blower" on the heater that really pushes the heat towards you, it's more of a soft flow of air upward from the unit through the top vents. If you are planning to use this in a room that will be closed off from the rest of the house it's awesome, if you're in a bigger area, I'd go for a model with a fan that blows heat towards you like this one Holmes Energy-Efficient Heater Fan - HEH8001-U1.

The other problem we've noticed is the odor of oil fumes after long use at a high setting. I found that I hardly notice it while I'm actually sitting in the room with the machine, but it's a very obvious smell if I leave the room for "fresh air" and come back. Kind of scary, actually!

The outside of the heater is warm to the touch but won't burn you like a stove would. But I think it gets warm enough to the point that I wouldn't leave it where a kid or pet would touch it.

The heater is typically quiet but makes some tick-tick, pop-pop noises when it's first heating up. Very intermittent and temporary, I believe it's because the oil is actually heating up like it would in your deep fryer.

I'm not dissatisfied with the heater but would definitely search for an oil-free model if I was shopping for another space heater in the future.
