Arrived used but in working condition

When the product was delivered it was clear that it has been used before. But since it does work as described we decided to keep it. It'd be nice though if Amazon would note somewhere in the product description that its condition is not brand new.

Great when used properly
»
I've had an older but similar model 6507L for 7 years now - still works perfectly without incident. For rapid warm-up, I set the thermostat for higher heat and use a DeLonghi DAP110F electrostatic air cleaner to gently blow air through the fins. The combo is quiet and effective. Any low-velocity fan should work for rapid warm-up, but the air cleaner is nice in my confined room. Also nice is that the fan can be turned off and the thermostat turned down for near-silent operation once the room is up to temperature. A little experimentation will pay dividends for years to come.

Takes a long time to heat a room
»
I put this heater in a small bedroom. It is very slow to heat the room...slow as in hours. You have to turn it on wayyy before (3 or 4 hours) before you go to bed. And be sure to close the door to the room. If your house is drafty this heater probably won't satisfy you. It might might be ok for a bathroom. Don't expect it to heat a family room though.
I'm debating on returning it.

best oil-filled heater

This is a steady-performing, stably thermostat-controlled (I mostly use setting #3) and economical heater. I prefer this model to DeLonghi "Dragon" because it's more efficient if you use it on the first floor and have stairs to the 2nd. The "Dragon" thing is pumping hot air very actively upstairs while this model have very reasonable lateral heat distribution. It's not for warming you up while you sit nearby, but for warming the entire room when you have the unit steadily on.
Other obvious advantages -- no noise, only gentle clicking sounds when thermostate turns heating elements on/off and no initial burning smells reported by others (maybe just my luck). Pretty elegant looking thing. Perfect for a large closed bedroom, though I use it also in a living room permanently open to the stairs.
