Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Good value for money
At a price point just a tiny bit above 50 dollars, this space heater has a variety of decent features. It comes in with a decent thermostat, programmable timer, and even a fully functional remote controller. This set of features is very uncommon for this price tag, and is usually found in heaters that cost more than $100.
Pro The heat is distributed evenly
This space heater has a oscillation amplitude of about 90 degrees, thus being placed in a corner it is capable of warming up the entire room evenly.
Pro Can be controlled remotely
This space heater comes with a remote control, which runs on two AAA batteries. It can control all the functions of the heater.
Pro It’s mobile
Due to the lightweight design (8.8 lbs) and compact form factor (8.5″ x 7.25″ x 23″) it's easy to move this space heater from room to room. It also has a comfortable handle behind the unit.
Pro The fan isn’t loud
While being powerful enough to push the air around in a 150 sq. ft. room, this space heater’s fan isn't overly loud. It produces about 55 dB of sound pressure, being nearly as noisy as a small electric kettle.
Pro Good for fast heating
This space heater uses a fan to deliver hot air throughout the room efficiently. This heat distribution method is, by far, more effective than regular convection (that is used by electric radiator panels) as fan-forced air moves faster than convection-forced air.
Pro Silent in operation
You will not hear this space heater working as mica heating panels simply can not produce any hearable sounds. Therefore, this space heater is perfect for bedrooms and living rooms.
Pro Packed with safety features
The DeLonghi HMP1500 has all the safety features required. It has a thermal cut-off protection, which will disable the heater in the event of overheating. Additionally, the unit will shut itself down in the event of a tip-over. Moreover, the front panels of the space heater are thermally isolated from the hot mica panel. Thus it will not burn your hands if you touch it.
Pro Eye catching design
This is one of the best looking space heaters in the market. Due to the slim and stylish design, it looks by far better than the large and bulky electric radiators.
Pro You can wall-mount it
As this space heater comes with a set of wall mounts, it can be wall-mounted straight out of the box. This is a handy option for those who need a stationary electric heater. Additionally, while mounted on the wall, this space heater will not occupy any space on the floor.
Cons
Con It dries out the air
Since the ceramic heating element heats up to temperatures way above 200º F, this space heater is also a very aggressive air dehumidifier. While reasonable air dehumidification would be considered as an advantage, overly dehumidified air will cause discomfort for people with sensitive eyes, or those that wear contact lenses.
Con It beeps a lot
Every time you press a button, this space heater beeps. This can be rather irritating to the people around you, for example, when you need to adjust the heater’s settings while there are people in the room sleeping.
Con Doesn't have a timer
This space heater does not have any inbuilt timer. Meaning that you have to enable and disable the heating manually. You can tweak it by using a plug-in timer, which will cost you around 10 - 15 bucks on Amazon. But it will cause you some additional hassle.
Con Archaic controls
In contrast to the modern design of this space heater, its control interface looks outdated. It consists of two massive, weird-looking knobs which stick out of the unit.
