The De'Longhi HFX30C15-G Ceramic ComforTemp Heater stands out in our tests among 52 similar models, earning a composite score of 72/100. This compact ceramic unit, priced around its $79 MSRP, excels in quick heating and safety but has room for improvement in heat spread.
In this Review Atlas guide, we'll break down its features, real-world performance data, pros and cons, and stack it against top competitors. Whether you're heating a bedroom, office, or bathroom, read on for actionable insights to stay warm without spiking your energy bills.
Ceramic heaters heat up faster than coil or oil-filled models, thanks to their PTC (positive temperature coefficient) elements that self-regulate to prevent overheating. The HFX30C15-G leverages this tech with a ComforTemp button that automatically maintains an ideal room temperature—set it once and forget it.
Key specs at a glance:
This makes it a smart pick for supplemental heating in rooms up to 150 sq ft, where you want fast warmth without a bulky unit.

Our team tested the HFX30C15-G in a controlled 120 sq ft lab space, measuring temperature rise, distribution, noise, and safety over multiple cycles (lab date: 1/21 update).
Heats a small room from 65°F to 72°F in under 10 minutes on high—impressive for its size. The thermostat holds steady within 1-2°F variance.
Evenness lags; front-facing design creates hot spots near the unit (up to 10°F warmer directly in front) while edges stay cooler. Best for personal use, not whole-room coverage.
Quiet operation (under 50 dB, like a soft hum). Easy one-touch controls, but no remote means manual adjustments.
Overall, it's reliable for targeted heating, with low energy draw on eco settings.
If even distribution matters, consider upgrades like the WINHL 17-Inch Space Heater with Oscillation.
We pitted the HFX30C15-G against similar heaters for a head-to-head look. Scores out of 100; energy costs based on standard usage.
