Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of DeLonghi HHP1500 Mica Panel Radiator
Customer Review: What happened?
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this item in November of 2007. So, I have had it one year. I loved it because it met my needs and delivered on promises!
But today "the lights are on but nobody is home" so to speak. I have no idea what made it stop working. I looked for a reset button of some sort, but alas nothing and customer service could offer me nothing as it had been too long. :( I am most unhappy and will probably buy another one--but from a different manufacturer this time.
Customer Review: Warm, quiet and versatile
Summary: 5 Stars
We have had this heater for a week now and love it. It has been wheeled from room to room (large bedroom, small office, kitchen, living room) and done the job consistently in all spaces. Very quiet and heats up quickly. Although it warms the room, it is still cool enough to touch which is good if you have small children. The wheels make it easy to move... but it is also extremely lightweight for carrying up and down stairs. I think my only complaint would be it is hard to tell from across the room if it is on or not. The orange light only seems to indicate power to the unit, not on/off status. Also, it is difficult to change the settings in the dark since there is no digital or lit display for the knobs.

I bought two of these heaters and they keep my house toasty, my gas heat does not even kick on, I just love them, I bought them from Home Depot for $79.99, and I should have looked on Amazon first this is the cheapest I have seen them, I never had a smell when I turned them on, they are quiet and give off alot of heat, I have 6 birds and bought them to keep them warm at night but found out that they will save me money on my heating bill this winter, it was the best buy I ever made. I recommend these to everyone of my friends, best space heater I have found so far.Customer Review: Great heater but gets rather hot in the back
Summary: 4 Stars
I love micathermic heaters as they heat up the room effectively and they are virtually silent. This Delonghi micathermic panel heater is no exception - it delivers non-drying heat effectively and silently and I love it!
My only question is, it gets rather hot in the back panel when in use. Isn't this supposed to be wall-mountable? How could the back panel be so hot then? It is so hot that it is not comfortable to touch it. I read the other reviewers saying that the back panel stayed quite cool. So, I wonder if I have a defective product?
It would have gotten 5 stars if not for the hot back panel.
Addendum 10-30-08:
The back panel got so hot today, even at a low setting (750W, with thermostat set at 2) that I almost burned my hand!!! This has to be defective. I am setting up for a replacement. Hopefully, it will not be the same with the replacement.
Update 11-11-08:
The replacement arrived today. The back was definitely not as hot as the last one. It's just warm to touch when it's on 750W but a bit hot when at 1500W. The last one was defective. I wished that the Delonghi Customer Service people would not have said that it was "normal" when the back would get so hot that it almost burnt my fingers just by touching it!!! That was rather irresponsible and decidedly not safe. If I could rate the heater again now, I would downgrade it to 3 stars and only 1 star for the Delonghi Customer Service.
Customer Review: Fantastic heater!

I bought this DeLonghi heater after I had to throw the Soleus panel heater in the garbage after finding it did NOTHING to heat a room. We bought the DeLonghi HHP1500 Mica Panel Radiator heater for a basement bedroom and it works GREAT. This is my son's bedroom and I didn't want a floor heater because he's not to be trusted to NOT throw clothing, paper, blankets or whatever on top of it. This heater was easily hung on the wall....which is PERFECT for a kid's room. We've used it for 2 winters now and it is more than sufficient for his bedroom. It gets nice and toasty in there.
I highly recommend this heater and suggest, from experience, you stay away from the similar Soleus panel heater :).
