Works well, but beware of annoying "click" sound
Efficiently heats our small 2nd bedroom, but does so at the cost of a fairly loud "click" whenever the thermostat activates/deactivates. The click is loud enough to hear from another bedroom, and tends to wake up our 6 month old baby if he's not in deep sleep. Otherwise, the timer feature and heating power are very good, but you need to be aware of how loud that click is during an otherwise silent night. If they'd fix that annoyance, I'd give this 5 stars.
Does what it says... I love it!!!
The DeLonghi EW7507EB is my first radiant heater.
I originally intended to buy the TRD0715T, however when I went to the store to look at it, my wife and I agreed the big red dial for the timer coupled with the weird off white color was simply too gaudy and not condusive to our room's design, not to mention this is 2011 - hello? who still uses analog gauges??? I then figured a Digital interface for the heater would certainly make the looks far better. I again did my homework and found this heater (EW7505EB) and the Honeywell version (HWLHZ709). On the Target website, the Honeywell version had 2.5 stars after 51 reviews and many indicated serious issues. That left me with one choice - the DeLonghi EW7507EB...
I did find one at Lowe's and noticed it had an additional L at the end of the part number (EW7507EBL) but realized it meant it was for Lowe's version. When I researched this unit on Lowes.com - I found that 10 out of 11 gave it 5 out of 5 stars and one person gave it...
Very Happy
I have tried a number of supplimental heaters in the geust room of our older home in Seattle and this has been by far the best. It has no problems heating this 140 sq ft room with a large window on the medium power setting. Things I particularly like about this unit are a) Multiple power settings - 690W, 780W, 1440W by my meter. Far better than other units which have off and on at ~1500W and therefor should really be the only appliance on a circuit or you risk flipping a breaker or worse. b) Digital Thermostat - You can set the unit to within 1 degree of the tempurature you want. Far better than other units I've tried which either have some funky 'temperature' dial or a thermostat in 5 degree increments. Also the thermostat chooses the best power setting (up to the maximum you have set) for a more even heat (less overshooting and undershooting your selected temperature). c) No Fan - This means it heats up the room more slowly but it's completely silent. e) Time Programable -...
