DeLonghi TRD40615E Review
Specifications
- It uses 12.5 Amps when in use.
- The maximum power of this DeLonghi is 1500 watts, which means it can deliver 5120 BTUs of heat.
- The heater provides the best results if it is used for small and medium rooms with a maximum of 144 square feet.
- It features 6 inches long power cord.
Design
From the picture above, you will see that the design of this radiant heater is modern and simple with a black control panel in the front. It is very different from the design of classic oil-filled heaters. With this heater, the DeLonghi brand unveils a new innovative and revolutionary design whose task is to increase the efficiency of heating a room with less energy consumption.
The flat panel heater design creates about 25 percent more heating area than oil-filled heaters of the same class. A big advantage of this heater is that it is characterized by the ability to deliver heat using two ways, convective and radial.
I really like the extra feature that increases the efficiency of the heating, which are the thermal chimneys located on the top surface of the heater. They even contribute to the modern design of the heater. Thermal chimneys accelerate the flow of heat out into the room and at the same time, they keep the heater surface temperature very low, making it safe to touch.
Its dimensions are similar to that of most oil-filled heaters and are 16.4 inches long, 10.3 inches wide and 26.1 inches high. Its basic weight is 26.6 pounds (about 12 kg) which makes it slightly heavier than some models in its class.
Product Features
3 Heating Modes plus ECO Mode
To get the most precise temperature in your room, this DeLonghi heater offers you a choice of three different heating modes, such as 700 Watt Low Mode, 800 Watt Medium and 1500 Watt High Mode.
Also, a very good feature that I believe you will love is the working indicator. Depending on which mode the heater operates the indicator shows a different color such as:
- If the heater is running at maximum power, the working indicator will light red.
- When the heater is set to operate in Medium mode the indicator will be yellow.
- And when the heater is set to the lowest heating mode, the indicator will turn green.
In addition to these three heating modes, the heater offers you the option to choose an ECO mode as needed. When activated in Eco mode, the heater will automatically adjust the most appropriate power level to obtain the optimum room temperature with much lower power consumption.
LCD Screen
On the front is the user-friendly and stylish black control panel that includes the LCD screen, adjustable thermostat, different heat settings, and the 24-hour convenient programmable timer.
24-Hour Timer
The timer is one of the features of the heater that we all really appreciate. With the help of the timer, we will be able to set the heater to turn itself off after a certain time of heating. You also have the option to set the heater for how many hours it should be turned off before to turn itself on again. The maximum number of hours that the timer allows the heater to be set is 24, beginning from 0.5 to 24 hours.
This gives you a great deal of freedom in controlling not only the temperature in the room, but also you have control over your electricity consumption. You also control your budget at the same time, which is really useful especially in winter.
Portability
The design of this DeLonghi heater also features a carry handle that allows you easily and comfortably to carry off the heater to a designated place in your home. Plus for better portability, it also comes with pre-assembled castors.
Quiet Operation
The heater is really quiet when operating, which is a common positive feature of all oil-filled heaters. This makes it ideal for using it in a bedroom. But there is one thing that may be annoying some people, which is the click sound the is coming from the thermostat on the heater when it is turning off when it reaches a set temperature in the room and when it automatically switches on to heat up again.
Safety Features
This DeLonghi TRD40615E oil-filled heater is equipped with some safety features such as:
- Overheat Protection: If the indoor temperature rises above the allowable limit, then the overheating function will shut off the device immediately. This is extremely useful to prevent unwanted incidents.
- Anti-Freeze Function: This is another safety feature that is very important to implement in a space heater and that is the anti-freeze function. Whenever the temperature in the room drops below 41 F (5 Celsius), the heater will automatically activate to operate in the highest heating mode to prevent freezing conditions in the room.
Malfunction Diagnostic System
A very interesting and positive safety feature that most heaters do not have is a diagnostic system that signals malfunctions such as:
- Probe malfunction: If for some unknown reason the device does not operate on the LCD display, the “PF” mark will appear. In this case, you will need to contact De’Longhi Customer Service.
- High Temperature: If the device’s internal temperature is too high, the display will display “HT” and the heater will gradually start to reduce the heating power, which will automatically reduce the temperature within the permitted range. When the temperature inside the heater is normalized, the “HT” mark on the display will disappear.

From this DeLonghi TRD40615E review you realize this is a truly high-performance radiant heater with a revolutionary, clean, and modern design that will fit perfectly with your home interior.
It can deliver 5120 BTUs of heat, enough to effectively heat any room of small or large size. In addition, it is quiet, safe to use, it has great portability and at the same time with its built-in ECO mode, it will reduce your electricity consumption and your budget.
