" ... However, the heater never really heated up and it made a buzzing sound. ... "
" ... You know that humming noise a fluorescent shop light or a mercury vapor street light makes? ... A representative reviewed it and said they all make that sound, which begs the question of why in the world would someone pay the extra money for a micathermal heater when you can purchase a noisy but much smaller fan-forced ceramic heater for a lot less money that heats just as well. ... I had a Soleus micathermal heater for years prior to purchasing this Delonghi heater and the Soleus didn't make any noise. ... "

" ... The best space heater I've ever owned. ... "
" ... It works as intended BUT it is definitely not for a larger space (which was my plan when i placed the order). ... It will be find in a smaller space and it looks nice and takes up less space since it is flat. ... I just ordered a regular old filled radiator since i think that will do better in a larger space. ... "

" ... After half an hour, the room temperature was 71 and the overheating alarm started. ... "
" ... It works but the safety alarm goes off 5 minutes after I turn in on. ... Sometimes it runs 20 minutes then alarms. ... I can turn it to min setting no higher then 4 to hear no alarm. ... I use it in my livingroom lower level and it is barely useable with the alarm always popping off. ... "
" ... However, after about a month, the alarm started occasionally going off anytime we put it on high. ... Now, the alarm goes off every time it is put on high. ... I have placed a fan at the base that keeps air moving around the unit and that has stopped the alarm, Since I am able to at least use the unit (with a fan), I gave it two stars. ... "
" ... Turn it on, after 10 minutes or so the alarm went on for no reason. ... "
