Great heater
Heats large room quickly. And keeps radiating when switched off. Love that it is simple to activate , old school dials and switch. No remote , nothing digital. Would give 5 stars but havent got the electricity bill yet !

Its main limitation is that it does not offer smart connectivity or remote control found on some premium alternatives.

- Scheduled heating
Where it works best
- Bedroom

Things to consider
It provides quiet radiant heat and practical controls, but it lacks Wi-Fi, app control and remote operation that some premium electric heaters include.
Small room suitability
Suitable, but better matched to medium and large rooms where its 2400W output can be fully used
Energy efficiency score
7/10 - thermostat, 3 heat settings and Eco Plus function help manage power use, but 2400W output is still relatively high at full power
Noise level vs category average
9/10 - quieter than many fan heaters because it operates without a fan
Safety features score
9/10 - strong coverage with overheating cut-off, tip-over shut-off and anti-frost protection
Portability rating
8/10 - castors and carry handle make room-to-room movement easy, though oil column heaters are still heavier than compact fan heaters
Key benefits
- 2400W Heating Power: Delivers strong heat output for medium to large rooms up to 70m3.
- 11 Fin XXL Radiant Surface: Helps spread steady warmth across the room for more consistent comfort.
- 24 Hour Timer: Lets you schedule heating for early mornings, evenings or overnight use.
- 3 Heat Settings: Gives you flexible control over heat output to suit changing weather and room conditions.

- Safety Protection Suite: Includes overheating thermal cut-off, tip-over shut-off and anti-frost function for added peace of mind.
Q: Is this heater suitable for a large living room?
A: Yes. DeLonghi TRD42400MT is designed for rooms up to 70m3, so it suits many medium to large bedrooms, living rooms and home offices. In open-plan areas or draughty rooms, heat will feel more gradual and less concentrated.
Q: Does the Dragon 4 heat up quickly or more gradually?
A: It warms more gradually. DeLonghi TRD42400MT is an oil column heater with an 11 fin radiant design, so it builds steady heat rather than a quick burst. It is better for ongoing room heating than rapid spot heating when you first switch it on.
Q: Are running costs low on this 2400W DeLonghi heater?
A: Running cost depends on which of the 3 heat settings you use and how often the thermostat cycles the heater on and off. DeLonghi TRD42400MT draws 2400W at full power, so it is better suited to controlled room heating than all-day maximum output.
Q: Is it quiet enough for a bedroom or study?
A: Yes. DeLonghi TRD42400MT operates without a fan, so it heats quietly and suits bedrooms, studies and other spaces where fan noise can be distracting. The trade-off is a slower initial warm-up than heaters designed for fast airflow.
Q: Can the timer handle early mornings or overnight heating?
A: Yes. The 24 hour timer lets you schedule when heating starts and stops, which is useful before you wake up or for evening use. It also has a thermostat, so the heater is designed to maintain the temperature you set rather than run flat out continuously.
Q: Will this heater be easy to move around at home?
A: Yes. DeLonghi TRD42400MT has pre-assembled castors and a carry handle, so it is practical to roll between rooms on the same floor. As an oil column design, it is still bulkier to carry up stairs than lighter heater styles.
