- How long does it take to warm a room?
- Oil radiators heat gradually. Expect a small room to feel noticeably warmer after 20 to 30 minutes, and longer for larger or poorly insulated rooms. Eco mode slows the warm-up further in exchange for lower running power.
- Is it quiet enough for a bedroom?
- Yes. There is no fan, so the only sound is the faint tick of the thermostat and the metal expanding as it heats. Most owners find it unobtrusive at night.
- Does it have a timer or Wi-Fi?
- No. It has an adjustable thermostat and heat settings plus Eco mode, but no timer, app control or Wi-Fi. Use a plug-in timer if you want it to switch on before you get home.
- Can I leave it on unattended?
- It is designed for extended use, but the surface and fins get hot. Keep it clear of curtains, furniture and anything flammable, and do not use it in a room with pets or small children unsupervised.
- How does it compare with a fan heater?
- A fan heater warms a room faster and is lighter, but it is noisier and its heat stops when it switches off. The Radia S Eco is silent and keeps radiating warmth, at the cost of slower warm-up and more weight.
- What is in the box?
- The heater with its fitted castors and carry handle, plus the user guide. No timer, remote or wall-mounting kit is included.
- Where is the De'Longhi Radia S Eco Room Radiant Heater cheapest?
- At DeLonghi, for $159.95, as of our latest check.
