Capable of heating in complete silence or utilize the fans to speed up and increase the area heated.
I chose to get this DeLonhi heater because we planned on using it in the living room where it would be visible to us and our guests. I've currently installed the legs for it to stand on but plan on mounting it to the wall where its sitting in my pictures. The legs are plastic and stable but I'm not sure of their durability if you were to say lean on the heater. The white casing is all metal and the black mesh on the sides is metal as well. There are some black plastic handles on the sides towards the top of the heater.
Immediately when the heater is turned on you will feel the heat radiating out the top. As you cycle through the low/med/high you will increase the heat that will radiate out the top. It's not until you turn on the 4th highest setting that the fans will kick on and blow air out the left and right sides. Its a gentle air flow that I can feel with my hand about a foot away but certainly not 2 feet away. I can feel the heat radiating up to 3 feet out of the top when placing my hand above it.
Noise level with the heater radiating without the fans on is completely silent aside from the heater contracting when it heats up. Once the fans are used its about as loud as any heater that uses a fan or in my personal experience about as loud as my gaming desktop's fans. For some reason when the heater is using the fans it vibrates and makes a droning noise. Perhaps using a rug or some rubber beneath the legs would remedy this. Also I'm concerned once mounted to the wall it will also make the droning noise. I'll update once I've tested that.
I really appreciate the sleek design and the the fact I can use use the heater in complete silence. Also with the eco mode is awesome if you wan't the heater to manage a set temperature. Overall my initial impressions are very positive. I'll certainly update once I've experienced its effectiveness at heating my living room and my experience with it being mounted to a wall.
Hope this address some of your questions and concerns.
