 Many features to offer peace of mind Nov 20, 2006
By K. Levin
We needed a supplemental electric space heater for an unheated bedroom in our home that is occasionally used by guests. I selected this model over the Honeywell HZ515 because it has a screen to display the temperature instead of just a selector dial. We own one other electric heater that has a thermostat without a display, and it is much harder on that Delonghi unit for someone to set the temperature without consulting the manual. This heater is quite straightforward to operate in comparison.
If you simply push the power button, the unit will come on at full power and keep heating at full power until you turn it off again.
If you push the power button and then use the up- and down-arrow buttons, you can select a temperature (in Fahrenheit or Celsius) that the unit will attempt to maintain (up to its 1500 W capacity) until you turn it off.
If you push power, then use the arrows to select a temperature, and then push the timer button (and use the arrows to increase/decrease the amount of time), the heater will run as much as needed to keep the heat to the pre-selected temperature for the amount of time you've selected. I believe the maximum is 10 hours--enough for overnight use.
For me, this offers some extra peace of mind. I can set this heater for a guest (or tell them how to do it) and not feel the need to check up on them in the morning to be sure the heater has been turned off.
Two other features on this heater are superior to those on my Delonghi Mica Panel heater:
* the Honeywell HZ519 has a 5 year warranty (vs. Delonghi's 1 year)
* the Honeywell HZ519 has a three prong power cord (vs. Delonghi's 2 prong plug)

Great heater Oct 17, 2007
By Brian A. Schar
This heater really heats up a room in a hurry. To provide some context, my kitchen is in the vicinity of 120 square feet, and it only takes 5 minutes or so to heat up after turning this heater on. As advertised, it is indeed silent. And even when first turning it on, it didn't emit that nasty new-heater smell. This heater is a great value and I'm glad I bought it.

 unreliable Jan 27, 2008
By ibuyer
I own five of these, and heat my home with them (and five upright oil-filled types).
Pros: usually safe to touch, non-electronic glowing badge-type overheat indicator, timer, quiet, five-year warrantee, great flexible 16-gage 3-wire cord (stays cool), appears to be of highest quality, inexpensive.
Cons: Although there is a bright bulb indicating the unit is on, the LCD panel is unlit by it, so you can't check the indicator easily when it is dark. This is important, because the heaters sometimes reset themselves to maximum, so you need to look at the panel repeatedly during the night.
The timer only works for shut-off, not for timed turn-on, so you can't use it for programmed heating, such as warming up for the morning, or warming up for return in the afternoon.
Timer and temp settings are lost when powered off (no back-up battery or constant power to the panel from the plug).
Temp settings unpredictably reset to maximum, so you can't leave these heaters on unattended (for instance, to keep the house above freezing when going out for the day or a weekend). You may come back to a house at 80 degrees, at great electric expense.
To repeat, on all five of my units, if I have them set at some lower temperature, say, sixty-five degrees, I may come back some time later to find it at eighty degrees. So I must constantly go around checking them.
On one of the five units the tilt switch burned out. Not from being tilted, just from being on for a few months.
Many of the high-raters of this heater mention these same problems, but don't consider them as bad as I do. That is probably because they don't use the heaters as much as I do.
Many of the low-raters of this heater don't understand that all 1500 watt heaters put out the same amount of heat, and don't understand that a thermometer near the heating element is bound to read higher than one across the room, and don't understand that a convection heater is bound to be slower than, but ultimately equal or superior to, a fan-forced or radiant heater of the same wattage. Oil convection heaters are even slower, since the oil has to heat up first. Radiant heaters lose heat out the window if pointed at an unshaded window. There is a theory that radiant heat is equivalently comfortable at lower power use. Fan-forced heaters' fans will eventually fail, sometimes causing a fire.
Some reviewers mention the poor instructions, and how important they are. Much better instructions are available online. The controls are not obvious; you are sure to misuse them if you don't have the online instructions. Basically: to set the temperature, turn the unit off, turn it on, press the Temp button, use the up/down buttons to set the temperature, and then don't touch it again. If you subsequently touch any button it will reset to maximum. At first the indicator will show what temperature you have set it to try to get up to. After a while, the indicator will show the actual temperature at the unit - you can no longer check the temperature it is attempting to attain. Ignore the fan icon: there is no fan. If the clock icon appears (unintentionally), you have double-clicked, and must start over. The thermometer icon shows you have set the temperature. When the temperature blinks, it has attained the goal you set.

good and bad -- be careful Jan 23, 2007
By Roscoe
I've had one of these heaters for a couple years and it has worked well for occasional use & I've been quite happy with it. So, last week when I saw them for sale at Home Depot I picked another one up. I used it for a couple days, turning it on during the day and off at night. Then one morning I went to turn it on and was surprised to find the unit was hot. Even though it was powered off and the display was off the unit was still heating. I unplugged it and tried again later with the same result. I don't know if this a common problem, but you may want to make sure yours is working OK.
Thankfully I was able to return the defective heater to the store I bought it. But my experience with this heater and a previous experience with defective Honeywell humidifiers makes me wonder if Honeywell's quality no longer lives up to their reputation. And their support company, Kaz, leaves very much to be desired in regard to customer service.
If I had no concerns about the safety and reliability of this heater, I would give it 5 stars, but unfortunately that is not the case.

Works well but is bulky and the surface gets very hot Nov 06, 2007
By B. Humphrey
I bought this heater because of it's excellent safety rating on Consumer Reports as well as it's low noise. I have mixed feelings about it but it does heat well. Here are a list of my likes and dislikes.
Pros:
Quiet - No fan so no noise.
Safe Power Cord - Many heater fires are cause by undersized power cables. Heaters use tons of power and tons of power through small power cords create heat which can create fires. Safety labels warn about never putting power cords underneath things and this is why. The cord on this unit is fairly heavy gauge with a ground so it seems that this risk is minimized.
Reasonably well built - The unit seems solid and well built.
Cons:
Large Size - It takes up quite a bit of room. 3 feet wide !
Hot Surface - While the cord may be safe, the grill gets very hot. I bought this for our baby's room but once she can walk, I'll have to replace it as the surface of this heater is extremely hot. In fact, I'd worry that anything getting near it could catch fire. It has a warning badge to tell you that the surface is hot but why not use something other then metal for the grill which wouldn't burn ?
Timer Limited to 10 hours - Why the limit ??
Thermostat has no memory - You have to reset it each time you power on.
