Are all oil filled radiators the same? The simple answer is no,
so what features are worth paying extra for? Construction - The
Delonghi oil filled radiators have a superior build
quality which is reflected in their longer warranties.
Warranties of 3 and 10 years are available in the Delonghi
range. Warm Up Time - this is the length of time that it takes
the radiator to warm up and start to give off heat. The
Delonghi radiators are noticeably faster. Heat Distribution -
take a look at a budget oil filled radiator and you will see
that it is made up of a series of vertical fins. Now look
at a Delonghi radiator and the fins are not as noticeable.
This is because they have an extra sheet of metal across the
outside of the fins, this has two effects. Firstly it
increases the surface area of metal which allows more heat to
radiate out faster. Secondly it creates vertical channels
inside the radiator which act like a chimney and convects heat
upwards. This chimney effect is unique to Delonghi. Pre
Fitted Castors - The Dragon 3 range have pre-fitted castors
which saves the time (and for some the hassle) that it takes to
fit the castors when you receive your oil filled radiator.
ECC - or Electronic Climate Control which is on the top of
the range
Dragon 3 TRD0820ER model. As well providing the
convenience of having a remote control the electronic controls
provide a more even heat in the room and prevent the room from
becoming too hot and then too cold and then too hot again.
