Why it sits behind the Russell Hobbs RHFH1008 2000W Oscillating Ceramic Heater
The Russell Hobbs RHFH1008 2000W Oscillating Ceramic Heater (8.3) beats the De'Longhi Tower Ceramic Fan Heater HFX65V20 (8.2) because it leaves owners a little happier. The De'Longhi Tower Ceramic Fan Heater HFX65V20 does a little better with the review sites, but not by enough to close the gap.
About the De'Longhi HFX65V20
The HFX65V20 is a free-standing ceramic fan heater in a tall, narrow tower, 612mm high and 226mm wide. It has two power settings, 1200W and 2000W, and the ceramic element regulates itself. An adjustable thermostat holds the room at the temperature you pick. The base oscillates, so the warm air sweeps across the room instead of pointing one way.
Controls are on an LED panel, and the supplied remote does the same job. A timer runs for up to 24 hours. An eco function, anti-freeze protection and a summer ventilation mode (fan only, no heat) are built in. The anti-dust filter is washable, and there are carry handles. De'Longhi gives the weight as 2.36kg.
For safety it has a safety thermostat, an auto-off switch if the unit is tipped over, and double insulation. De'Longhi says it suits well-insulated spaces or occasional use. A retailer listing gives a room size of up to 20 m². The box holds the heater, and the brand page lists no accessories.
What owners report about the De'Longhi HFX65V20
Owner feedback on this exact model is thin. What we found is a small number of reports, mostly from a retailer in another country, so treat it as a guide only.
Owners are happy with how it heats. They describe a quick warm-up and say the remote is useful, because settings can be changed without getting up. They find it light enough to move between rooms, and one says it was fine for a big room with a high ceiling, while another thinks it suits smaller rooms better.
Noise gets mixed reports. Some owners call it quiet. Others find the fan loud on full output, and say it quietens on the eco setting. One owner says the beep on every button press cannot be turned off. One reports no problems after a year of nightly use, but that is a single account.
Who the De'Longhi HFX65V20 suits
It suits a bedroom, home office or small living room where you want a remote, a timer and a thermostat on a slim heater that takes little floor space. The 1200W setting is useful for keeping a room comfortable without running at full power. The fan-only mode means it can be used in summer.
Look elsewhere if you want more than two power steps or a quiet fan at full heat. For a larger room or a garage, the Dimplex Rugged Fan Heater RUG3TS gives more output. For a cheaper tower with fewer controls, the Pro Breeze 2000W Ceramic PTC Tower Fan Heater is the alternative here.

Other fan heater picks
The other badge winners in our fan heaters ranking.
Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. Most of each score is what the review sites say: the scores their own reviews give each model, and whether their best-of lists name it. For this guide we read Expert Reviews, Good Housekeeping UK, TechRadar, The Independent and Trusted Reviews. The rest is how happy owners are, held back where few owners have rated a product, and how new it is. Value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 22 models for this guide before settling on these ten.
Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
