Warmth for our outdoor patio

Purchased this a couple of weeks ago and had an opportunity to fire it up last weekend. I was surprised at how well it heated the space. We have a covered underdeck area that is pretty large and I could feel the heater 10' away. Purchasing another one for on top of the dek.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought the Fire Sense 2117 and it is working well. I wish there was a video on how to put it together but otherwise it is a fine product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this unit in December of 2014. We have used it extensively on our patio and it works great, yes, it is an Infrared Heater and it does not heat a room. It heats what it is pointed at - about a 12-foot radius when extended to full height . We like it and look forward to another year of warm outdoor relaxing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Replaced gas heater for patio use in MN. So far Spring cool nights this heater did the trick. I have seen infra-reds in commercial use and was glad to find one for personal usage.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought this to use in my 3-season screened porch in New England, wanting to extend the porches seasons. It heats nicely and allows sitting in comfort when it otherwise be too cold to use the porch. Seems reasonably well constructed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A good electric patio heater w/assy. challenges
on May 14, 2016
Posted by: sfboy

Overall, a good electric patio heater with challenges getting up & running..
Application: I live in a high-rise condo in a chilly/windy area, and gas patio heaters are not allowed. I wanted something to break the chill on my outdoor patio.
Experience:
Self-assembly a minor challenge:
The illustrations in the paper manual are just a bit too fuzzy to clearly make out a few things.
The electrical cord routing took a bit to figure out.
One Phillips head screw on the head unit was so firmly in place that I was afraid I would strip the head. Luckily, I could complete the assembly without loosening that one screw. Maybe I'll try again in a week or so...
Heater did not work initially. (No heat, lighted on/off switch on stand was not lit up.) Contacted Technical Support who sent a replacement bulb. Upon disassembling the unit to install the bulb, I saw that one of the electrical connections had not been made. I made the connection, reassembled the heater head, and the unit then worked.
I have used the heater for 3 nights now. Heat generation is OK (perhaps a bit lower than expected given the size of the unit – but this is my first patio heater).
Pro
Looks good on patio.
Appears sturdy.
Modest cost.
Tech Support.
Con
Condition from factory (not fully assembled).
Difficulty of assembly.

I bought this item about 9 months ago and used it throughout the Fall and Winter in Michigan. It heated a screened in porch area very well and extended our outdoor usage well into the season. Best heater for the price.
I would recommend this to a friend!
