DeLonghi Convection Panel Heater, Full Room Quiet 1500W, portable electric heater is freestanding/easily wall mounted. Energy Saving, quick heat distribution, timer, asphalt gray, HCX9115E

6 month review. 4/11/2018DeLonghi HCX9115E (unit)Please read all this review.This heater has changed my way of living with heavy garage traffic usage.I insulated my two car garage (for about 180 bucks) and found my own special way to mount it to the wall studs near the entrance to the attached garage. I covered all walls with expensive decorative 4x8 sheets 1/4th inch, to ensure fire protection. Its plugged into a 20 amp outlet i ran near it. I keep perishables and water along a wall of shelving on the far side of the garage. "Emergency food" in previous years the freezing conditions eventually explodes the product or causes it to freeze. Or makes your garage unbearably cold!If you pull your car in it releases a lot of stored heat, and the unit must kick back onto full blast to reheat. Like opening your front door to the house.I keep it on power saving mode and this has been "on" for over 6 months straight through winter. It kept my entire 2 car garage about 50-65 degrees. But set for 65 during winter in Ohio. Even when it was -8 outside it still performed admirably. Although it is not enough BTU's nor is it designed for this usage but has passed my "test" of doing 'passive power saving heating' this recent winter stress test has really proved to be a strong unit. It has dual fans on the sides pushing airflow in, allowing more heat out the top. Sometimes these fans are off, or on depending on demand. During extreme cold times I select a mode that allows it to draw ALL the power it wants..the 1500 watts. Max power usage and fans on. Obviously this will use a lot of power.There are 10 options:4 Power saving modes (4th has fan on):4 Energy full draw modes (4th has fan on):on:offThere is also a timer however I have not used this option.You can set the temp desired and energy mode is complete silence. Full draw is obviously a fan full speed type mode. louder..Most heater units have a internal coil like an electric stove and a fan placed in front and when there "on" its like your microwave on drawing heavy wattage. This unit has a thin strip of mica or rock like substance in the middle with coils running along the axis, heating the coils causes heat transfer to the "mica", a very consistent heating, the air lofts up through it and out the top allowing cold/warm exchange. Be sure you do not expose this top part to paper or insulation or plants or pictures (i covered my wall with full sheets) as the heat is about 90-110 degrees but distributes heat quickly. Placing this unit in your living room is ideal but be sure your outlet is a 20amp as this is suggested. Leaving this on all winter will likely reduce the amount your heater is running and may even trick your thermostat thinking the house is warmer then it is.This unit can be placed behind a couch on provided stands or on a wall with struts on the carriage (I used a 1/2x4x48inch poplar wood along studs 15 1/2 centers, level, screwed in. Then this is screwed into the wood allowing mounting between studs using very high quality "star" bit screws, i threw away the provided screws as they were inferior.). At the top i used provided mounts however....... I zip-tied the holes to the grill because the mounting holes are VERY difficult to align to the unit. They ask for 24 and 5/8ths or something ridicules to get right on, so the zip ties allow easy install. ***Perhaps largest rooms or entry ways during thanksgiving or busy visiting cold times is best***. it may be best suited for office entrances like Doctors offices, or entryways during winter. This does not BLAST heat into the room but is a passive heater. Do not expect more. it will adjust the heat neded based on incoming temperature.Thanks all for reading to the end i hope this helps! Thumbs up please!

I chose to get this DeLonhi heater because we planned on using it in the living room where it would be visible to us and our guests. I've currently installed the legs for it to stand on but plan on mounting it to the wall where its sitting in my pictures. The legs are plastic and stable but I'm not sure of their durability if you were to say lean on the heater. The white casing is all metal and the black mesh on the sides is metal as well. There are some black plastic handles on the sides towards the top of the heater.Immediately when the heater is turned on you will feel the heat radiating out the top. As you cycle through the low/med/high you will increase the heat that will radiate out the top. It's not until you turn on the 4th highest setting that the fans will kick on and blow air out the left and right sides. Its a gentle air flow that I can feel with my hand about a foot away but certainly not 2 feet away. I can feel the heat radiating up to 3 feet out of the top when placing my hand above it.Noise level with the heater radiating without the fans on is completely silent aside from the heater contracting when it heats up. Once the fans are used its about as loud as any heater that uses a fan or in my personal experience about as loud as my gaming desktop's fans. For some reason when the heater is using the fans it vibrates and makes a droning noise. Perhaps using a rug or some rubber beneath the legs would remedy this. Also I'm concerned once mounted to the wall it will also make the droning noise. I'll update once I've tested that.I really appreciate the sleek design and the the fact I can use use the heater in complete silence. Also with the eco mode is awesome if you wan't the heater to manage a set temperature. Overall my initial impressions are very positive. I'll certainly update once I've experienced its effectiveness at heating my living room and my experience with it being mounted to a wall.Hope this address some of your questions and concerns.

After some research, I chose this DeLonghi slim style heater for our 14' x 20' den. There is a 12' wide double sliding door unit that leads to the backyard, and it makes heating this room with our oil burner/baseboard heating system a bit of a challenge. I purchased this heater, not so much to reduce our heating oil bills, but to make this room, where we spend most of our time, more comfortable during the winter months (which are VERY cold here in NY). I've had this heater for only 2 days, and here are my preliminary observations:1) After reading about "tempering" the heater before first use, I ran it on the highest setting outside for about 3 hours (I read that this helps to burn-off whatever lubricant the manufacturer uses to keep these from rusting while stored in their warehouse). People complain about a smell from these heaters, and this "tempering" seemed to do the trick. There was still a minor smell, but not a problem. You may want to run this heater outside or in a garage for more hours than I did.2) The look and style of this heater is awesome (of course, that is very subjective). It's pretty large, but has a very thin footprint, so placement near/against a wall works very well, and makes it fairly unobtrusive. It does not get hot to the touch.3) My first concern was that I only have one wall outlet located within reach of the 6' power cord. It's a 15-amp circuit, which would be ok for this heater if it's the only thing on the circuit. However, I have a few lights, and my home theater system (TV, a/v receiver, cable box, and powered subwoofer) on the same circuit. I plugged in the heater, pressed the power button (half-expecting to trip the circuit breaker), but it didn't trip. I progressed through the modes on the heater, and kept the highest heat setting (plus fan) on. Everything went well through yesterday and today...no power issues...and I continue to check the power cord and connection at the outlet, and they are not warm at all. I will be getting a price from an electrician to run a separate 20-amp line to the den, specifically for the heater, but for now, all seems good.4) Now for the main thing...the heat. Everyone's home is different. Everyone's room application for this heater is different. Our den is not the best insulated room, and that "wall of glass" does not do a great job of keeping the cold out. That said, I placed this heater at one end of the room, set the thermostat on 82, and let it run on high. The heater, even with the fan blowing, took at least an hour to start to take the edge off the cold in the room, and after a couple of hours, the room was comfortable...not super-warm...comfortable (which is all we are looking for). That was last night when the outside temp was around 25 degrees, and today, with 15 degree weather, the same heater setting took a little longer, and didn't quite heat the room as well...but it definitely helped.From what I understand, these convector heaters are not designed to heat a space very quickly. If that's what you want, I suggest checking out quartz heaters.I hope this helps. Good luck.

I based my decision about buying this heater on reading the reviews posted here. So, here is my review now that I own it.I was looking for a small heater to augment the house wide forced air system that heats our basement. I wanted to bring the basement temperature up about 3 to 5 degrees to make it closer to the temperature in the rest of the house. I was not sure this unit could do that and am pleasantly surprised that it can.Here are the specifics ...- The area that I wanted to boost the temperature in is located in the basement - the area is about 670 square feet.- The basement is below ground on three sides - Walls are 10" thick reinforced concrete with an inner wood stud wall filled completely with 3-1/2" thick spray foam insulation ... The basement is very "tight."- Forced air ducts supply three diffusers in the space but this ductwork cannot get the room above 66 degrees.- I wanted the DeLongi heater to get the room up to between 68 and 70 degrees.Results:- Set on the HIGH setting with the fan, I can get the room up to 68 degrees after about three hours and it remains at 68 degrees. When I had the heater set to 69 degrees, it took five hours to get the room up to 70 degrees and then it held that a steady temperature. (The outside temperature was about 24 degrees at that time.)- Not sure yet what the impact will be on the electric bill.- Very pleased that this heater is so effective.- The modern, sleek design fits right into the room and looks great.- I plan to mount it on the wall when additional construction work is done in the room.Packaging - The heater arrived in perfect condition. Unlike another review that I read, Amazon packed it in an outer shipping box that provided extra needed protection for the unit during shipping.Bottom Line: Very pleased with the quality, design and effectiveness of this little heater. It works well to augment the heat in a room of over 600 square feet.

I was pretty excited about this thing, or as excited as one can be about a space heater, anyway. I bought it because of the great reviews, the ability to wall mount, and the low profile. It was going to be supplemental heat for a 500 square foot living room/kitchen that gets chilly in winter. Outside temperatures were around 30-55 degrees at time of use. There is another heat source in the room that can't quite keep up in colder weather. Before turning this heater on, room temperature was around 64 degrees.It never made it to the wall. I set it up to free stand first, cranked that puppy up, set it to 67 (F) and put it on the ECO setting, full power with fan. Well, it radiated a little bit of heat, but the fan never came on no matter how cold the room got. It managed to raise the temperature about two degrees, then shut itself off with the (HT) symbol, indicating it had overheated. It was pretty hot to the touch, including the side that would have been against the wall if I'd wall mounted it as planned. I tried taking it off of the ECO setting. On high with the fan, it went a few hours longer and raised the temperature a few more degrees before shutting itself off with the HT warning again, but still never made it to 67. On the lower settings, it overheated even faster, I guess because the fan wasn't dispersing the heat away from the device. I gave up and returned it, then went out and got a cheap oil filled radiator from the store. Within about two hours, I had to turn the new heater off because it was so warm in here. That $49 radiator is doing a better job, more reliably, than this expensive wall mount heater did.

My central air heating broke down and at the worst time - at the start of my 5 day holiday weekend and this weekend was one of the coldest at below freezing. I ordered this immediately Friday morning and was able to receive it Sunday so was able to salvage some of my time off. It’s quite big but very thin. If you mount it on the wall, it would be best but having it stand is not too bad. It’s because there is a wide surface area, that makes the heat so instant because as soon as I turned it on to 76 degrees and mid- level, not even on high, I felt the heat. This made my room so toasty but my room is very small at 200 sq feet so not sure sure about bigger rooms but I felt this was an improvement over my central air since it is so big that it protrudes out of the wall and very noisy that I have to turn up the volume on my TV. This system made no noise whatsoever that I was scared it’s not working. I ordered the sister companion oil-filled radiator just in case and I don’t think I need to turn that on. That one is smaller and took a while to warm the warm up but it eventually it worked fine. What’s nice about that companion is the large wheels and make it very mobile if you need to move it around but it should come with a longer extension cord for mobility since you cannot use these things with an extension cord. You can, but it would require the extremely thick yellow generator cable which will take up a lot of space. The only thing I don’t like for this product are the buttons on the side which are very hard to see and use. On the floor, I have to kneel down to access. Would have been better on the top for sure and a remote would be nice, too.

Disappointed with this heater. It does look great and I do find it works okay but one of the main reasons we bought this was for it to operate silently. The beeping is incredibly loud when changing any setting, and when changing the mode to anything over the first stage it emits a fairly loud electric hum to keep up with the increased output. It’s a pretty distinct electric screech and we really dislike it enough to the point we don’t raise it higher than the first stage which means we can’t take advantage of many of the feature this unit has. We have an oil DeLonghi heater that works much better overall.

Lightweight, versatile. Can be wall mounted. Word of warning, the cladding is thin and will likely dent easily. I have one and the top and bottom vents had slight dents, cosmetic for sure and not visible unless you were standing on top.I tried the DeLonghi Mica panel heater but it had a strange toaster hum to it, and dried out the air overnight making me wake up with a horribly dry nasal passage. The HCX9115E did NOT have this issue. I am returning my Mica panel and purchasing a second one of these for the living room.ECO mode worked great for autumn nights, and best of all, was dead silent. Now that temperatures are regularly in the 30's however, I set the temperature to 72-74 in silent mode (fans off) and am still toasty in my room. I have high sloped ceilings and the room is about 250 square feet, and it heats it up very well. We also put it in the main floor and with the fans on at 76 degrees it's able to slowly warm up the area over the course of an hour. Much of the hot air does go straight upstairs, but it's enough to ward off the chills as long as you bundle up, which is fine with me.Now that I will have two units, one will be in the living room constantly in ECO/anti-freeze mode and another will go in my bedroom. Hopefully that'll be enough to get us through the winter!.

Lo pongo a 75 y calienta perfecto puedo dormir sin playera y me siento como en hotel.No es ruidoso, lo puedes dejar prendido toda la noche en la version ecoMe encanto, muy estetico!

Lo Utilizo en una habitación de 3 x 5 Metros, Lo Coloco al centro de la habitación donde esta la sensación térmica mas fría, buena calefacción en el nivel 1 eco en todos los grados, cuando lo configuras para determinar los grados seleccionas los grados mode ajustas al máximo y pones eco Enciende el Ventilador una vez que llega a la Temperatura enciende el Nivel 3 Rojo- 2 Amarillo 1 Verde, En el Nivel 3 y 2 después emite un sonido al encender las celdas que es constante, para aprovechar lo silencioso lo utilizo en el nivel 1 solo subo la temperatura. Cumple para Mantener agradable la temperatura de la habitación 19-20 grados cuando en el exterior esta a de 0 a 2 grados.

Used to supplement the heat in our basement sitting room. Don't know it is there unless we pull out the plug, it runs so quiet not like the fan heater we used to have.
