De'Longhi DeLonghi TRD40615E

I recommend this one you can find off amazon. Its well built with steel and only a small amount of plastic on the front panel and feet. You can set the temperature between 5C-28C (41F-82F) and it has 3 power settings and an ECO mode. setting 1 is 700W, 2 is 900W, and 3 is 1500W. When Eco mode is turned on it will run at the highest power that you have set until it reaches the set temp and then switches to a lower power to maintain the heat as needed.

Its silent except for a click when changing power settings which I like and doesnt dry out the air the same way ceramic heaters can. Its a bit heavy at 20 something pounds but the wheels make it easy to move around. It can take a while for it to heat up but it also takes longer to cool off which can be helpful if the power goes out or if you want to turn it off before going to bed. I also feel safer since its harder to start a fire with one of these.

How does it take to heat up your room?

From 20c to 25c took around 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours I think. I haven't had to use it since its been warm ever since the -20c weather a while ago. My windows had seal issues which I've fixed since then so it would probably take a bit less now. Either way these heaters take a while to get warm compared to other types of heaters but they also take a while to cool off if the power goes out.
