John Evans: Throws a lot of heat and works well, easy to start. Only negative thing is that it took longer to get the blue scratch protection covers off the deflectors than to put it together.

NANA: Great for patio in evenings and so far no problems. Hopefully winter months will prove as useful. Really needed 2 people as top is a little bit heavy working over your head for one person. unfortunately for me, I got my daughter one on sale at Costco a week later for $100 less, exact same one :(:( otherwise I would have given 5 stars

AngAng: Works well throws good heat!!

Not sure why the price changed from 200 to 300+.. in less then a month that’s kind of stupid. I recommended it to a friend and now told her to wait or shop locally because of the price change.

As others have stated it’s very tall, there is however a way to shorten it without cutting it. On the first long segment drill out the welds and the middle flange pops right out. You can then screw on the top burner to the first long segment and leave out the last long segment. Keep the middle flange and top segment for future use if you need to make it super tall again. It brings the height from over 7ft to just over 6ft.

StoneyStoney: So far I'm very pleased with my purchase (I've only been using the heater for 2 days - I'll update this review if I experience any issues).

The assembly instructions could use some tweaks for clarity, but they are considerably better than most I've screamed at over the years. It took me less than an hour from opening the box to the first ignition, and that includes removing all the annoying protective shrink wrap. No issues with missing hardware or hole alignment. I didn't cuss once while putting this together, and that earns a good assembly score.

With a full propane tank the heater feels quite stable even without adding sand or water to the base (I am going to add sand anyway). As you can see from the photo, the unit is pretty well protected where we have it on our lanai. We also don't have kids running around, but I could definitely see a rambunctious tyke easily taking one of these down.

The first time I ignited the heater it caught on the second attempt. Every other ignition since then has been on the first go.

On the highest setting this heater puts out a significant amount of heat. It keeps us very cozy on the couch about 8 feet away (far right...

K. HoneyagerK. Honeyager: 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...
