Customer Reviews

Nice for the price.
I bought this heater for around $200 on Amazon. Build quality is good but not excellent. It has all the features of units that cost twice as much. The packaging and instructions were very good. It works well in zero to light wind on our deck, but when the wind picks up forget about and go back inside. I have yet to burn an entire 20 lb. bottle of LPG, having used the heater several times, so it appears to be pretty easy on the wallet to operate. Make sure you anchor the unit to the deck or ground. Ours blew over and bent the "top-hat" in a "L" shape. It bent back pretty good but now has a crease in it. Not much else to say. Good luck.

Entertaining assembly process, decent heater
I'd recommend going into the assembly process in a good mood, so you can get a laugh out of the somewhat chaotic and sketchy assembly instructions. If you go in short tempered you'll probably be miserable. I'm pretty sure the parts in the box didn't match up with the list of parts I was supposed to have, which in turn didn't match up with the parts referenced in the instruction steps. But the parts I had did all go together properly with nothing left over (expect the third foot mentioned below). It seemed like perhaps the engineering of the heater was an evolving process and the instructions hadn't kept pace.

A couple of examples... The heater came with three little feet (presumably to make it more tip resistant) and a set of roller wheels. Neither was mentioned in the instructions. The holes where the roller wheels bolt on overlap where one of the three feet bolt on, so I guess you have to choose between three feet or two feet and wheels. I went with the wheels, which do make moving the heater fairly easy as long as you have the room to tilt it over. Also, the main instruction sheet just showed a single piece top reflector. But the reflector actually came in four pieces with its own separate assembly card.

Anyway, it wasn't all that hard to figure out where the parts went and get the thing together.

I wheeled it outside, hooked up a propane bottle and it fired right up. Mine lights in just a few seconds (one of the other reviewers mentioned theirs takes 45 seconds or so). It doesn't bake you with heat (which I suppose is good for the propane bill), but does provide a nice gentle warming to take the edge off on a cool night.

PROPANE HEATER MAY HEAT A TABLE, NOT A PATIO!
The 2 units I ordered arrived promptly and in good condition despite being in the middle of the Xmas madness. The units were FAIRLY easy to assemble. All the parts were there and they were well labelled. Only a few minor errors in the assembly instructions. One unit ignited easily while the other was a bit of a problem but eventually did. My main concern is the distance the unit puts heat out. The online description says it "reaches out UP to a full 15 feet around the unit (175 sq/ft)". I really have severe doubts and questions about that. I stood 5 feet from it and felt NO HEAT whatsoever, even though the burners were on high. If you plan to use this to keep your plants from freezing, like I am, you should know that the first night, with the burner on high, it used up 1 full propane tank. This could get expensive!
