Category-specific evidence and scores. This is not a universal company score.
De'Longhi documents current PACEX290LN fan/dehumidification capability, three cooling speeds, motorized louvers, timer, installation kit, full manufacturer warranty, and a two-year warranty statement; U.S. DOE/SACC and comparable exact-model independent data were insufficient in the scoped set.

De'Longhi's current Dragon Digital page and linked support document the 1500W oil-filled radiator, digital thermostat, 24-hour timer, ECO control, sealed oil reservoir, child lock, thermal cutoff, quiet fanless heat, and three-year portable-heater warranty. [2]
Bob Vila's multiweek hands-on protocol timed room temperature rise, checked thermostat accuracy, tipped heaters, assessed surface temperature, noise, portability, controls, and value across current electric models. Applied here to representative current De'Longhi model evidence and the limitations stated in the candidate rationale. [1]
