I had been looking for a good raclette grill for sometime, after using several different styles at friends and families homes, I saw this one on Amazon. It arrived intact with all the necessary parts and is very easy to use. The grill top reverses to a crape grill which is also fun.

I recommend this particular grill above others I have used for several reasons. First, it can accomodate 8 people, while many grills max out at 6. Second, it has an adjustable temperature. We generally start out at a higher temperature then when everyone has slowed down and wants to eat slowly and talk I adjust the temperature down. Third, the grill is easy to clean. Its non-stick surface easily wipes off. I would advise to only use the included scrapers on the non-stick surface, if it gets scratched it will not be as easy to use. And fourth, it is very sturdy. This is a solidly built grill and looks great on the table. It is a little more money than some other models, but if you want to use it for years I would definately invest in the better grill.

I have a love for swiss food ever since I came back from Australia and missed my favorite Swiss Restaurant called Kellers. I heard about these Raclette grills from an officemate who used to live in Switzerland. Let me tell you it might seem like a complex item but it truly isn't. It is good for so many uses because it is a grill and broiler in one. On Saturday I go to the store and buy different fresh veggies, french bread, and meats. I marinate the meats and put them in the freezer and fridge. I usually do this in no more than an hour. Then every night after work my husband and I and any guests that might be visiting pull all of these out of the fridge and freezer and grill up whatever we want. Everyone can have the same thing or they can fix their own dishes using all the items you have out. Your options are limitless. We have made kabobs, sandwhiches, stir fry's, potatoes, omlettes, garlic bread, pizza, pretty much everything. Clean up is very simple you just clean the top grill plate and any raclette dishes you used. We keep the grill out on our table for every meal and saves me from standing on my feet all afternoon over a hot stove. Which can be very hard when you have come home late from working a long day! I also have a picky husband and this is a great way for us each to have whatever we want cooked the exact way we want it cooked.

I know and love raclette dinners from my home country Germany, so I was happy to find some that will work in the US. I tried to find out what the dimensions of the raclettes offered are, but without success. There was no answer to get anywhere. The dimensions listed on this page are obviously bogus, Amazon can not be contacted and Swissmar doesn't answer to emails. So finally I decided to just order one and was really disappointed: this raclette is much smaller than the raclettes I'm used to from home. The size of the grill plate is just 24 cm x 36 cm. The dishes are just 8.5 x 8.5 cm. The dishes are all lined up to the two sites, you can't turn the handles of the ones at the end to the front sides. If you sit around a rectangular table, the guests at the front ends of the table will have trouble to reach theirs. This raclette might work for 4 persons but is not suitable for 8 as normal European raclettes are.

We are having a lot of fun with this grill.

This grill is great fun for dinner parties. I have now thrown 4 dinner parties using it from basic grilling to fajitas. I plan to try the round side of the grill next for dessert crepes. Traditional raclette is cheese melted in the drawers, with pickles and cold meats. I also use it as a party activity for more healthy fare by offering a variety of marinated vegetables portobello mushrooms marinated in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, basil, garlic and red pepper is my favorite. I've grilled shrimp, asparagus, onions, chicken, tofu, bell peppers, sausages, sliced potatoes (I boil them a bit first.) Then I put out sauces for people to dip into as well.

I find it helps break the ice with guests who don't know one another so well, as they can talk about the grilling, etc.

My one complaint is that it would be hard for eight people to use, the most I have used it for now is six, but it worked really well for six. The adjustable heating works really nicely.

If you're looking for something new and fun, I highly recommend it. It is great for dinner parties and book club meetings (everyone can bring something to grill.)

I bought this Raclette grill for my wife thinking that it would just be another kitchen gadget that we never used. Wow, what a great way to have an intimate dinner. It's perfect to enjoy a relaxing meal with 2-4 adults. I guess you could entertain a larger group if you don't mind getting your fixins close to each other! If you're use to eating a fast meal in front of the TV then you should try raclette. It really makes you slow down and enjoy the meal.

We bought some very inexpensive miniature wooden tongs from a Chinese supply store that work very well for taking your food on and off the grill surface. I had to subtract a star just because calling it an 8 person grill is a bit of a stretch.

These scents smell nice in the bottle, but we can't smell them in the air after the water is vaporized. I wouldn't waste your money.

I took the advice from another review and only put the scent on the stone that comes with the kit. When you put the scent in the steamer it gets all foamy. Smells great!

The propane regulator I bought for my tank was missing the o-ring and the slot for it. The propane delivery tech suggested this instead of having to redo the teflon tape after every refill to seal the threads. Worked like a charm, but be sure to check for leaks.

Great Product to have in case your existing gets damaged, O-Ring Breaks and the hardware store doesn't have it when you need it in an emergency. I bought this for building a Dual Tank Manifold along with a regulator of course. These are also great to keep around for garage type LP Heaters

Many Asian households have this appliance but non-Asians seem to not know about it. This is a convenient way to always have boiling hot water at hand for making tea or instant ramen and instant soups. While the typical "American" electric tea kettle requires you to plug in and boil water each time it is turned on (thereby necessitating a wait of at least 3-5 minutes), this water heater boils water and keeps it boiling hot for days until you dispense all of it and have to refill/reboil it. I have found it very useful to have a personal water heater at my office desk (where it is the envy of all my colleagues yet somehow they are resistant to buying one themselves due to cultural suspicion), and also one at home. One caveat is that since it is constantly plugged in, it may use up a lot of electricity. Also you have to be careful of children accidentally dispensing it and scalding themselves (this model has a "lock" button). Lastly, you should never immerse the appliance in water and it is certainly not dishwashable. The Tiger model is not cheap but it is a high quality, well-made appliance that will last for years.

I got this one to replace a Tiger water heater I got over 16 years ago. That one has to be pumped manually. This one is much better since it pumps the water out automatically.

I like the 6-hr timer (only single setting, single push to activate) that shuts the heater down for six hours then restarts it. This save energy since my house is 50 degree at night and I don't drink in these 6-hr time period. It also heats up the water before I get up. The 3-liter capacity is more than sufficient for my consumption rate of 1.2 L each time. My previous unit was 5-liter, which is too much to heat up.

The lid takes about 2 seconds to get use to. If you use the left hand to open it, you'd need to use your thumb to push down on the front-end which pivots the back end of the retangular latch upward, then use your pointing finger and/or the middle finger to lift the lid up. The lid is removeable for cleaning which is nice.

The insulation is quite good. I set the temperature at 208 deg F and my ambient temperature is 50 deg F constant so the water reheated about 3 hours each time for about 20 seconds. This is not bad at all. Even my bottled hot water heater reheat much often than this, about 20 minutes each time based on the same constant 50 deg F ambient temp.

I bought this unit after reading others' review and they were pretty accurate. I enjoy my coffee at 208 deg F instead of either not hot enough (bottled hot water heater) or too hot using microwave oven.

This unit has a lazy susan which make it very easy to rotate. The negative this is that the power cord is held onto the unit by two rather weak magnets so if you rotate the unit too quick or to much ( greater than 60 degrees), the power cord can detach from the unit easily. Be careful when washing the unit. Read and follow the instruction and the warning label on the unit.

The bottom line: a strong recommendation to buy.

I bought my Tiger water heater in Korea in the mid 90s while working there. I keep it plugged in all day and love this. I was worried I'd not be able to replace this if mine ever quit on me so I just looked it up and so glad I will be able to get another one if mine ever dies. I have this instead of a coffee pot and really love it. Ever so often, I put a cup or so of vinegar into the hot water (fill to the line), unplug it and let it set overnight to clean all the minerals from my water. The next morning, I just wipe with dish rag inside and then I rinse well and fill up again. This keeps any build-up from inside the kettle. I'm just thrilled I was able to find this online to order when I need one. I might even order one soon as a "back-up" just in case. Yes, it's funny when my friends visit, they have never seen anything like this and act like it's an "Asian" thing. Now I can tell them they can get one, too.

I have always found the Tiger brand very reliable and this hot water dispenser is no different. I purchased one for my son 5 years ago It is still in good working order although his had a mechanical pump. This one is all eletronics so when it is not plugged in you cannot dispense any water.

This hot water dispenser is just great. The price is so reasonable for the good quality. It has a good capacity and very simple to use. My parents have the same exact product and they are happy with it as well.

DeLonghi Solaris Oil-Filled Radiator with Timer Review

Customer Ratings:

I received this heater as a replacement of another Delonghi heater which was higher-performing with more heat output in watts. This is how Delonghi treats you with its cocky 1-year limited warranty. You might as well get an inferior, cheaper product as Delonghi mistreats its customers to do itself a favor. The service location to deliver the broken heater was far, and Delonghi took more than a month to provide me with this cheaper heater.

Besides, both my original heater and the replacement (this heater that the review is about) broke in less than a year. I had to change through 3 heaters in less than a year due to Delonghi's rock bottom product quality. Additionally, the heater makes a noise when in operation that sounds like beating its metal with a hard object. It can be disturbing depending on the person.

Do NOT buy from Delonghi to bear this poor product quality and customer service.

This unit clicks constantly. I bought this for a baby's room where I need quiet, even, safe heat. You turn it on and the noise starts as the element heats up... click... click... click... click... Baby then turns around, starts to get restless, and the screaming could start at any minute.

I've used cheap oil filled heaters in the past and they did not have this problem. When I pay a premium for a brand name and supposedly quality design, I expect better than what DeLonghi has provided here. It should not take an engineering genius to realize that heat causes metal to expand and take it into account when designing the product.

Disappointing. Very disappointing.

UPDATE:

And then it broke. Slightly more than one year after purchase this model failed when the GFCI plug melted. So down from a 2 star rating to a 1 star.

Purchased about 2 months ago. It still working pretty good, but since yesterday, I hear grinding noise coming from Timer. I am sensitive sleeper and I can't get descent sleep because of it. Constant "Grrrr" like bad motor sound. I will have to return this and maybe get one with Electronic timer instead.

One more thing. When I turn on both heat setting (Highest), I hear bubbling(boiling) sound so I keep it in Medium and it's working fine.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi Solaris Oil-Filled Radiator with Timer

I'd give this zero stars if I could. We had this for a little over a month. It worked great at first. It heated our cold kitchen quickly and kept the tempature steady. Then one day, it stopped working. The light would not come on and there's no reason why it wouldn't work. The red button on the plug was pushed in many times and it still would not work. The manual does not give any instruction as to how to fix it except deal with their technicans. There's no sense in dealing with the company based on the other reviews. At least spring is coming, so we'll find a better heater next year.

I purchased this unit several years ago and was very happy with it for 1 and ½ seasons then it began making an intermittent clicking noise, then the noise became continuous. The noise is loud enough that I have to keep the door to the adjoining bath closed in order to sleep. I have not found any replacement parts or disassembly instructions.

This is a shame since the low-profile, relatively small size, selectable wattage, steady heat and timer functions are virtually unique. I held on to the unit and run in areas of the house or garage where noise isn't a distraction and hoped that DeLonghi (or some other manufacture) would market an updated version of this heater without the noise problem. I've not seen one in the three years since this unit began making noise.

In closing this is a wonderful heater until or unless it begins to make the clicking sound seen in numerous other online reviews. I would not buy another of these units or similar DeLohghi heaters with the multi-pin timer.

As a side note I have owned a DeLonghi coffee maker and espresso machine and had quality problems with these units as well. It appears to me that this company has good product design and marketing but poor assembly, quality control and customer service. As attractive as several of their products are I have chosen to avoid items marketed by this company.
