This is a very sturdy pole heater. When assembling, it would be advised not to tighten each threaded bolt until all bolts are slightly threaded for each step. Otherwise, you find the tolerances don't allow the bolts to start into the threaded holes. This pole heater takes the chill out of the air, but by no means does it warm air at 32 degrees to be considered hot enough to remove a jacket or gloves.
We just bought and assembled it. It seems to operate very well at 37 degrees exterior temp after a few minutes warming. So far so good. Assembly could have been smoother with 1) better pictures that actually showed what was being screwed in rather than a broad picture of the general area; and 2) the threading in some holes was rough and made screwing in screws/bolts more difficult than it should have been. Took about an hour but I think I could assemble in 30 minutes.
I received the heater yesterday,a full week earlier than advertised. The unit was well packaged, very sturdy, and well made. Some have said it takes two people to assemble, but I did it by myself with no difficulty. The heater does a great job keeping us comfortable on our porch on a 50 degree day (provided there is no wind).
Received this as a Christmas present in December. After putting the heater together in about 30 minutes, placed heater on screened porch and it worked great! Even when temperature dipped below 50 degrees. My wife loves it!
I received this heater as a gift. It was easy to assemble and moves quite well on it's base mounted wheels. I have only used the heater one time and I was very pleased at how fast it produced heat. It seems to be well made and I am looking forward to enjoying it with a glass of wine early this spring.
Bought this for our deck. Live in Centerville, OH and enjoy coffee in the morning watching the birds come to our feeders. Had over a foot of snow this morning and heater still kept us comfortable. Would HIGHLY recommend this product.
