I retired recently and I chose this item from a book of appreciation gifts, I am very pleased. The heater is a perfect size and heats the area nicely. I have stepped into my next chapter of my life with not only “Love & Happiness” but warmth as well
I selected this heater as a work service award. I am impressed that you can use disposable 1 lb. canisters or purchase an optional hose so you can hook it up to larger propane tanks. I can’t wait to try it.
The ratio of the radiant heat generated by this heater, to its overall height isn't adequate. The heat output is so marginal - that any breeze will force you to sit down-wind in order to stay warm. In a perfectly calm environment, the heat barely reaches the table top. I even tried connecting this to a 20lb tank to see if there would be any benefit (there wasn't). It's possible that the regulator is defective or that it is undersized by design due to overzealous safety concerns.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. As our smallest gas heating option, this heater does have a significantly smaller heating capacity than full-sized models. We find that it performs best in partially-protected areas like covered patios, screened porches, and similar, ideally with a windbreak such as a wall, fence, or hedge.
