De'Longhi TRD 0615 6 section

1.5 kW

The first product released under the De'Longhi brand in 1975 was an oil heater. Therefore, it is not surprising that this Italian company, founded by Giuseppe De'Longhi, has a large range of climate technology, including domestic heaters of all kinds.

High efficiency

De'Longhi oil heaters are divided into several lines depending on their features. The models included in the Dragon series are distinguished from others by the so-called fireplace effect. Their body is designed to create air draft (a principle borrowed from fireplaces with a chimney). The central section is covered on the sides with a thin metal casing, and “tubes” are formed between it and the “ribs”. When cold air passes through them, it heats up and goes up.

This ensures faster heating of the air and its circulation throughout the room without additional energy costs (as when using a fan). As people in the reviews note, at the maximum power level (for TRD 0615 — 1.5 kW), the device heats a small room (12-18 sq. M) to the state of “no longer cold” in about thirty minutes, and after an hour such a room warms up to a comfortable temperature.

custom design

By the way, you can also find negative reviews on models from the Dragon series on the Web, but you should take them with skepticism. After all, if there is a noticeable smell during the operation of the oil heater, then it is possible that dust has settled on it (which means it needs to be cleaned) or there are traces of oil (relevant when you first turn it on). And the sounds that it makes are explained by the fact that when heated and cooled, the metal contracts and expands (that is, nothing breaks inside). At the same time, almost no one writes about the real minus of TRD 0615 — the special design of the device makes it difficult to clean the heating plates. Therefore, during storage (but not during operation) it is advisable to cover the device with a cloth.

Non-removable wheels

Another feature of the “dragons” is that their wheels are not removable and are installed at the factory. Therefore, buyers do not have to bother with attaching them to the body, as, for example, with the Mystery MH-7004F, the device is immediately ready for use. On the other hand, you should not put heavy things on the device in the summer, so that the wheels do not break under the weight of such a load.
