Title: An excellent value, and great looking too!
Review: 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.

Title: Great product and easily assembled
Review: Love the product. When we first got it I thought we got a product with “IKEA instructions. But not the case. Once you get started it is easy to follow and put together. Just turned on tonight and working great. Not real cool, 53, but will try in cooler weather. I wish I had bought two.

Title: This is THE ONE
Review: 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.

Title: Worked better than expected!
Review: 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!

Title: Not just a cheap heater, trumps Mainstays(Chant)
Review: The assembly was simple, easy, the parts have some weight to it, the screws are numerous, big and strong. It comes with a wrench.In contrast with Mainstays, no wrench, really light weight, screw holes are not as many, and the screws and wing nuts are smaller and thinner.The plastic film was easy to take off. The bottom piece, you can add water or sand to add some weight to it.In contrast with Mainstays, the film was a pain to take off, it gets stuck on the corner and can't rip it off clean completely. Mainstays provides you long screws to drill the bottom piece to the floor where you installing, needless to say this is a really poor approach; there's no way I'm doing that since I'm planning on moving this to multiple places.Color: Slate Gray | Style: Powder Coated

Review: Si es muy práctico, yo compré el tanque de gas en Sams club, y aunque el adaptador que trae el calentador si entra en el tanque de gas, no alcanza a embonar bien y el gas nunca sale. Si se tiene que comprar el adaptador que se llama "Adaptador Pol Mexicano Tanque Gas Lp Conectar Americano Qcc1" yo lo compré en mercado libre por $399mxnEl armado es muy sencillo, y algo complicado fue llenar la base de arena. En el instructivo menciona que se llene de agua o arena, yo elegí arena y es complicado.

Review: Only used three times so far so not a long track record. Easy to start. Gives off pretty good heat when not windy. Useless in a wind. Unfortunately heat goes up so not very efficient. Need to fill base with sand to add weight so will no chance of tipping over. Wheels allow the unit to be tilted and moved around. Only way you can mover it safely. Would recommend a cover to keep clean and water out when not using. Would I buy again. Yes.
