We live in Japan and we have two of these. I have to say it is super convenient being able to warm up the living room and office when we wake up. Also adjusting the temperature with Siri is really cool. This was our second winter with these heaters. Unfortunately our house is traditionally Japanese which means no insulation, last winter we struggled to keep warm, but this year I discovered running a dehumidifier at the same time will make the rooms feel nice and warm.
One thing that I don’t understand is… why are they only available in Japan? I think Delonghi is making a pretty huge mistake… oil heaters are not popular here, at all. Japanese people love kerosene heaters.
We like our heaters a lot, the only problems we have is that they often show as ‘Updating’ in the Home app, which is annoying, I don’t know if this is an issue with the heater firmware or with Homekit? Anyhow we are considering buying a 3rd heater.
Hi Zed
Thanks for the info. They do sound good. I’m in Taiwan, so you would think they’d be available here, but then most countries – Taiwan included – have their own tests that devices have to get certification for, so if the company don’t think they’ll get enough sales from a device to justify all the costs of certification, distribution etc, then I can see why they would have limited markets. Taiwan is actually only a bit cold for 3 months of the year anyway, so there’s probably not a massive market for a heater.
