Packaging: * Arrived in good condition, two day shipping to allow assembly prior to Christmas Eve * Instructions were the first item on top of the packaging, and in English only * Interior was wrapped with Styrofoam end pieces and each item individually wrapped Assembly: * Well written instructions and diagrams * All hardware was in a self-contained and labeled package, with none left over or missing (go figure) * Most instructions were easy to follow although attaching the burner assembly was a little vague * Took about 1.5 hours from start to flame on.......I'm not a handyman Fitment: * All pieces went together well although a couple of times I had to go back and loosen fasteners to align the holes....its recommended * Burner fired up first time I tried to turn it on Overall Assessment: This is a great item, I recommend it and would buy it again although i can't yet speak to the long term use. This product was a second choice as I found some very similar products at lesser costs but they were unavailable at the brick and mortar store or they were unable to have the heater arrive for our planned event. However, through Amazon, I was able to purchase this item at a competitive price and have it arrive in two days with reasonable additional shipping costs. I was pleasantly pleased at the condition of the box and the interior contents as it was packaged very well. All items were clearly marked or shown in the diagram in the instructions. They went together well but I suggest leaving the hardware loosened until you complete each step then tighten after that step. I assembled in the kitchen using the table and counters as a layout and bench. I had initially filled the base with water, but it leaked so I skipped that step and will fill it with sand at a later date. The rest was a breeze. I completed putting it together and moved it outside on our screened in porch (high ceilings) attached the propane tank and it was flame on the first time I tried. The wife was pleased because she now had a heat source on the porch so people can gather and sit outside and talk or spill over from the family Christmas Dinner and if Momma's happy......well, you know the rest. FOLOW UP.....The after party.....just wanted to let you know that Christmas Day couldn't have been better and much of it was because of the utility of the heater. We burned it, with kids sitting under it chatting, for hours after opening presents and sitting outside for dinner. Granted, it was almost 50 degrees but it worked great. It also allowed a place for the kids late in the evening to sit and swap stories. Couldn't have been any better if it was the 4th of July. Thanks Amazon for great and speedy service....as always.

I purchased this particular patio heater after having considered a number of other ones on Amazon and other web sites. One of the reasons for purchasing this one was the availability of the Sable Brown color. Another factor was that we live in a very windy area, and I was concerned about the heater blowing over. Some units do not have the ability to weight the base with water or sand, but this one does. Assembly was very easy, but time consuming. Because of my concern for the unit tipping over in the wind, especially if the propane tank is nearing empty, I decided to fill the base with sand. Water would have been SO much easier, believe me, but sand is about 60% heavier by volume than water, so for me it was worth the effort. About the only negative comment I have concerning this unit is that the fill hole in the base could be larger to make sand filling easier. Just filling the base took me about an hour. I would have to use a small cup to scoop up sand from a bag and then try to get it in the small hole. As the base filled up, I kept reaching in with a few fingers and pushing the sand away from the hole to compact it against the sides of the base. I was able to fill the base with about 80% of a 0.5 cu ft bag, so about 40 pounds of sand. The instructions were excellent - great pictures and easy to follow. I did not use their provided 'wrench', but my own socket set. The quality of materials is excellent - all painted items appear to be powder-coated. The unit has two wheels to allow the unit to be easily positioned. The first time you use this, the unit will smoke a bit for about 10 minutes or so, most likely burning off chemicals used during manufacturing. It lights very easily, within a few seconds. Of course, they recommend that you use the shutoff valve on your tank every time you finish using the heater. If you are the type of person who always follows every safety recommendation because some lawyer made them put it in the manual, you may get annoyed by having to lift up the tank cover every time you want to shut off the gas. Some other units have an access hole in the tank cover, but this one does not. The tank cover must be lifted up on the pole to get to the valve or to change the tank. There is a plastic ring around the hole in the tank cover to prevent it from scratching the pole when you raise or lower it. As for me, I will not be shutting off the valve every time I use it. If you have tested your tank installation and verified there are no leaks at the tank, it is really unnecessary, and actually you are more likely to cause a leak if you are continually messing with the tank every time you use the heater. The unit puts out a lot of heat. You will not be sitting out in shorts and a T-shirt when it's 32 degrees out, but on cool nights in the 50s, you can definitely be outside without a jacket on. I highly recommend this unit based on my limited experience with it, and will post an update if I encounter any issues that would affect my rating.

We own two of these Amazon propane heater, and they’ve been a great addition to our patio for cooler evenings. These heaters put out plenty of heat, making it comfortable to sit outside even when the temperature drops well below normal. The brown paint used on them matches very well for the bronze accents of our home. The built-in wheels make them easy to move around the patio, and the simple ignition and adjustable flame control make them quick to start and easy to regulate. They have stood up well to the weather and elements and I expect they will hold up well in the future. Because we have two of them, we can spread them around the seating area and create a surprisingly warm outdoor space. They’re not fancy or decorative compared with some premium patio heaters, but they’re durable, effective, and very good value for the price.

I see a lot of reviews for these outdoor heaters- most not so great with complaints of it not heating the desired space, not distributing heat well, or even confusing to assemble. I will be completely honest- I had one previously bought from a Walmart vendor (still in the box). I set both of them up at the same time. (I gave dad, Mr Fix-It , the OTHER one to assemble) This HEATER was soooo easy to put together! The instructions were fool proof! The tools and hardware came in a packaging that were separated and clearly labeled! (The OTHER one came with everything in one little bag- no labels, all mixed up) Needless to say, assembly was a breeze! I finished and was able to help dad decipher which bolt was which for the OTHER one. Once connected to the propane tank (not included, but would have been cool) turned it on. Heat was beautiful (for lack of words)! It was set up under a large tent. No smoke, no fires, I didn't burn the tent down, thanks to a quality heater! Covered a good 10x15 space! I was pleasantly surprised since we had cold, rainy weather. We even had to turn it down later in the evening, because it got so warm. All in all! 10 outta 10. Def Recommend! A worth it product!

Worked great for the cold days that remained when I decided I had enough of the cold while sitting on the deck or in the garage sipping whiskey and smoking. As with all propane products you have to practice safety, so please use this product correctly. Otherwise it's a great buy and puts out good heat to keep you and your family, or guests, warm. I can't wait for the few cold days we get in Texas so I can light this up again. Better to be warm in the cold than hot in the heat, regardless of air movement, LOL.

OMG!!! This is THE BEST THING EVER!!!! For my needs, the patio heater is perfect. I live on the Gulf Coast and we have winds that make cool evenings frigid. Our cold nights are limited, though, so I did not want to spend high dollar. My heater came quickly, and on a beautiful day. I proceeded to drag the big box out to the patio and settled in fo the installation. I am NOT great with tools - imagine a 50-something widow who needed to rely on the pre-printed pics to remember nuts vs. washers. This was a BLAST to assemble. I would do it again right now. The directions were as clear as could be - the best directions ever! A previous reviewer mentioned changes needed to the directions and they are now done! It told me right off that this manufacturer listened to their consumers. I made absolutely zero errors in my construction. Amazing. A few steps are clumsy for one person, but I got it done. The event was a one-gal blast. It took right at 90 minutes and I puttered. Each step had something involved that pointed toward the end product, so it was motivational. Each piece is very well-constructed and the finished product is stunning. I took great pride in each screw and washer and made sure it was done well. The finishes are lovely. The best part of my adventure was the reward at the end - the lighting of the heater. Bingo! It works like a charm. 1st time. This is really a lovely piece. It IS large, but the profile is slim save the canopy which rises well above head level. What a great price on the piece that is exactly what you see at all outdoor restaurants. I would get another, but this one should just great for my 30x30 patio.

I have 3. They work amazing. Put out great heat. Not too.bad to assemble. Easy to light and stay lit They look great and professional. The wheels make them easy to move. For the most part they dont get bothered by the wind unless it's very big wind. I recommend the heat shield to direct some heat and stop wind. I also recommend the covers. They are a must have and work great. But weather is hard on things but hwve lasted years and protected the heaters. Very happy and love them. They are a must have hence why I have 3 lol.

Where to begin.... First, I guess, a disclaimer: I have assembled the unit, but haven't yet turned it on, so this review is based on my "assembly" experience. The first thing you're supposed to do is disassemble the base unit from its housing & fill it with sand or water. I chose water because I live in rural Vermont & don't have access to sand. Once you complete that, you're instructed to reattach the collar to the base unit using the four screws & bolts you previously removed to take the it apart. Easy enough, right? Except that when you tighten them, you must be real careful. After the reassembly, there was water all over the floor, BECAUSE THE NUTS WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE BASE. Furthermore, there was absolutely no reason to take the base apart - you can fill it while it's together. I probably should have stopped & asked for a return at that point, but the shipping carton arrived in deplorable condition, & there was no way I would have been able to put it back in the box. Next problem - Step3 (& I have read & reread the assembly instructions to see if I messed this up) is for the attachment of the "Post Supports." WHAT THEY DON'T EXPLAIN IS THAT THEY ARE NOT IDENTICAL! TWO HAVE SMALL HOLES ON THE UPRIGHTS THAT ARE NEEDED IN (GET THIS) STEP 11, BASICALLY THE LAST STEP OF THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS! IF YOU DON'T PUT THE ONE POST WITHOUT THE SMALL HOLES IN BETWEEN THE OTHER TWO, YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE THE ENTIRE UNIT APART TO REPOSITION THEM CORRECTLY AFTER YOU THINK YOU'RE DONE! In Step 9, there is no guidance in which side of the REFLECTOR PIECES the CAP NUT should be secured to (how the screw & nut should be inserted). I took a chance & attached them to the bottom - hope I'm right.... At NO POINT in the instructions do they tell you to attach the UPPER POST (F) to the LOWER POST (G), but I'm just being picky here - that's kind of easy to figure out. In Step 11, you are instructed to put your propane tank "on top of the "Post Supports." This is an obvious mistake, as it the tank sits on the base BETWEEN the Post Supports. Then you're asked to "SECURE THE PROPANE TANK BY ATTACHING THE CHAIN (L) TO THE POST SUPPORTS." AT THIS POINT, I HAD TO TAKE THE UNIT APART AND REPOSITION THE POST SUPPORTS TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE DAMN CHAIN, & THEN REASSEMBLE IT! Hope this is useful should you decide to purchase this item.

Amazing heater. Great value for the money and the colour is an amazing bonus. It's quite a conversation piece. Love it. Casts off the perfect amount of heat. Perfect for patios or decks.

We chose this based on price. It was relatively easy to put together. It works good and gives off a lot of heat for our patio. We recommend.

These do throw a lot of heat. But if it’s windy then not so much, like all heaters. We have it on our deck away from the wind and it’s perfect for fall nights.

I only recommend this product from Amazon outdoor propane heater very well built, fantastic highly highly recommend

Je l’ai installé avec mes garçons, donc assez facile. Fonctionne toujours très bien après 2 été. Donne une bonne chaleur lors de nos cine parc.
