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 !

Q: Is this heater good for a large living room?
A: Yes, DeLonghi TRD42400MT is designed for rooms up to 70m3, so it suits many medium and larger bedrooms, living rooms and home offices. In a very open-plan area beyond that size, heat will feel less concentrated and take longer to build.
Q: How quickly does the Dragon 4 oil heater warm a room?
A: DeLonghi TRD42400MT delivers steady radiant heat rather than an instant blast, so the room warms more gradually from cold. It is better for maintaining a consistent temperature over time than for rapid spot heating when first switched on.
Q: Can you leave this oil column heater running overnight?
A: Yes, this model can be used overnight because it has a 24 hour timer, thermostat, overheat cut-off and tip-over shut-off. It is designed for steady room heating, but it still needs open space around it and should not be covered while running.
Q: Will it make noise in a bedroom or home office?
A: DeLonghi TRD42400MT runs quietly because it heats without a fan, so there is no fan noise pushing air around the room. That makes it a practical choice for bedrooms or home offices, although it trades fast warm-up for quieter operation.
Q: Is the TRD42400MT easy to move between rooms?
A: Yes, it has pre-assembled castors and a carry handle, so it is straightforward to roll from room to room. Its portability is best suited to moving around the same floor, not carrying up and down stairs like a lighter panel heater.
Q: Does an oil column heater keep radiating after switch-off?
A: Yes, the oil-filled column holds heat for a while after power is switched off, so warmth drops away gradually instead of stopping at once. That helps with steady heating, but it is not the best choice when you want instant on-off heat.
