Just purchased this (Lowe's $38) and used it last night. I've used various (all ceramic) models over the years and was very pleased with this one planned to return to Lowe's for a second unit and was checking prices on Amazon. Will now be exchanging it for the tower version of this model (didn't realize it featured a multi-function remote) which received great reviews here. The oscillator works well (90 degrees side to side).

NOTE: despite the claim here of an internal tip-over switch (not stated on the carton) this unit will not shut off until the overheat sensor activates. I did not wait for that to occur as I tipped the running unit over backwards, forwards and each side the only difference was reduced air output on its back (since the carpet was blocking the fan's air input) and higher temp setting when tipped forward (as the temp+ button contacted the carpet).

Bottom Line: had I not found a more desirable alternative, or preferred a shorter unit, I would have purchased a second identical unit and been quite satisfied (although careful to reduce tip-over risk).

Bought this from Lowe's. All functions worked well. The timer was odd in that you set how many hours ahead you want to turn it on, but that was not hard to grasp. I had two issues with this unit: You have to turn the timer on every night in order for it to come on in the morning before you get up. You can't set a timer and have it run on its own like a light timer. We were using this for a sunroom so it would be warm when I got up to let the dog out every morning. The problem we had was that we either got a flaky unit, or the whole design was bad, because if we wanted the unit to work properly we had to turn it on and then off before setting the timer. If we didn't do that, the unit would turn on, but the room would still be cold. The nights we remembered to turn it on and off before setting the timer I would wake up to the room being warm and the heat maintained. Since I wanted a low maintenance heater this one was getting to be too much remembering for me and I took it back.

We live in a drafty old house that was built in 1855. The kitchen is freezing! 63 when the rest of the house is at 71. The heater runs a lot in the kitchen during the day, but keeps us comfortable. I use it in my daughters drafty bedroom at night and it shuts off when the temp is reached so she's not overheated! $10 rebate going on through Jan. 31, 2013 too. Good price for what you get. My parents have been happy with the one they bought too.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi DCH5090ER Safeheat 1500W Digital Ceramic Heater

I was excited to have all the features I've been looking for: remote, replaceable filter, oscillation, tip over switch, ceramic, eco option, timer, etc. Tip over switch does not work, it smells toxic at first and it did not heat my tiny tiny room. Its going back.

I bought it for my office because i like a little warmer and office is always set at 71-72F. The heater looks good and has decent features. The best part that i like is that it has remote.

Now the worst part which rules out all good things...the heater is just too noisy. In my office i feel like am sitting in an airplane. The heater has no high/low setting for fan and the fan just keeps spinning at a very high speed. How difficult was it to put that feature? It has a high low setting for heat which is only to switch the power output but not to control the fan. I just needed to warm the room a little but cant stand the noise. Also, it doesnt turn off when set at 73 even when my wall thermostat shows 73.4 degrees. I would recommend a Lasko heater because they all have high/low settings and are much quieter.
