Swan Alfresco Stand Patio Heater, Garden and Outdoor Heating, Remote Controlled, Adjustable Height, Three Power Settings, 1.8m power cord, SH16350N

It is quite heavy so may need 2 people to put together. It seems very robust and provides good warmth.

I am using this to heat individual rooms in my house as it's too expensive to put the central heating on. Usually i'll blast it on medium or maximum for 10/15 minutes which warms up a room quickly and then switch it onto low and aim it at me keeping me toasty warm. This is in conditions between -3 to +3 degrees C.Because it is an infrared heater, it warms objects rather than just the air, the objects (including people) then radiate the heat. The heat lasts a lot longer in my experience that when a space has been heated by an electric coil or halogen heater, where the heat seems to dissipate almost instantly. Also, because it doesn't require a fan, it is a much more comfortable heat to have directly on you.A quick note to run it for an hour or so in a well ventilated room when you first get it, this fully cures the coating & "seasons" the heater, it will give off some odour during this time and may set off smoke alarms. Mine no longer does this.Highly recommend this heater!

This is so easy to move and store, perfect for my balcony. It doesn’t give out a massive amount of heat but enough to keep the chill away in Scotland. Very unobtrusive and neat and is an excellent buy considering how little it cost.

I've tried a few of these. This one is really nicely made - proper quality. The control is simply on or off, so it works well without trying to be too clever. Main thing: very hot, even too hot! I have it about 1.5m above a dining table outside, and it's hot under it, and warm around the table area. I'm sure it will be good when it gets really cold outside. Very well made, very effective, good quality, happy with this.

This heater is a nice size , not too big but gives off lots of heat and it’s pretty much instant too, very easy to install and really good value for the price , very pleased
