  • A Problem Free Outdoor Heater
Style: Without Thermostat Color: Black
Most people will want to buy this to heat their patio or deck. It mounts to the wall but also could be used on a stand if desired. To be clear, I did not buy 2 of these to heat a patio or deck but to heat 2 outdoor kennels for my German Shepherd Dogs, which I keep outside until it is time for bed when I bring them in the house. Regardless of the brand, no heater of this type is going to work that well whether mounted on a wall or self standing in an open area if it is windy. That is just the way it is. If you have a partially enclosed space which blocks the wind, you will do just fine. Now, the 2 kennels I have are open on all four sides but I have from fall to spring installed wind screens around all four sides of the kennels which are 10 ft x 10ft rectangles and 8 ft high. I have hung the heaters from the ceiling posts of the kennels and they work really well. Very easy to assemble. I have wall mounted heaters (different brand) on my deck and I can tell you that these would mount much easier than the ones I put on my deck. Piece of cake really. The package includes all of the hardware you need. I could mount these on a wall in less than 5 minutes. It took me less than that to hang them from the ceiling of the kennels. What about the remote? It works flawlessly and for my money it is essential, not just a convenience. I do not want to walk up to the heater and to turn it on or off if I do not have to. You can do it of course, but hitting the remote is far more convenient. It is easy to operate, self intuitive. You do not need instructions to operate it. As for heat, it has three levels. Level 1 is 900 watts, level 2 is 1200 watts and leverl 3 is 1500 watts. I find level 1 more than sufficient for temps in the 40s. I do not use it if 50 or above. (these are German Shepherd Dogs not people) That said, I am sure level one would be fine for the 50s for people. Level 2 I use for temps int he 30s. And Level 3 for the 20s and below. I have had the dogs out when the temperature was 5 degrees F and they did fine. Remember, these are infrared heaters, they heat objects not the air. So when the dogs stood or slept under the heaters, they were warm, despite the fact that air was quite cold. I warmly, no pun intended, recommend this product. It is first class in every respect. ... show more

  • Well Built
Style: Without Thermostat Color: Black
I am very impressed with this heater. I originally bought a different brand because Amazon could deliver it before our outdoor Covid-19 Thanksgiving meal. It arrived on time, but was dead on arrival. Could not get it to turn on and customer service never responded to email. Back it went! This heater arrived two days later in a very sturdy and padded box. I wish they had used something other than Styrofoam because that is not recyclable. The heater case is very stout and well put together. the mounting brackets are easy to use and they came with wall fasteners too. I like the three levels of heat, the timer and the display that tells you the heat level. My only gripe is that the remote is very flimsy. I had to hold the battery access door closed with black electrical tape. No batteries were provided either. (2- AAA) Reading reviews it is apparent that many users had unrealistic expectations for this heater. It is not designed to heat the air in the room. It uses infra-red to heat you only it you are standing in front of it. Works great for me in my workshop as I have it pointed at where I stand at my work bench. I am toasty as long as I stand there. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • I like my bar heater
Style: Without Thermostat Color: Black
It is fairly easy to mount and works great. It looks good too. It has heat settings L1 - low heat, L-2 Med heat and L3 - high heat. I do wish it had one more. It puts off good heat but one more setting hotter would give it the last star. You will want to mount this fairly close to where you want to sit. Notice how close the heater is to the bar chairs. ... show more

  • Perfect for my Garage!
Style: Heater Only Wall-Mounted Color: Silver
I installed this in my garage over my workbench and it has been amazing. It makes all the difference in the cold weather. It provides plenty of heat and is really quiet. I added a fan nearby to help move around the hot air.

  • Great heater.
Style: Without Thermostat Color: Black
This was a great addition to my garage. Even though it’s well insulated this provided the right amount of heat to work throughout the winter season. The remote control feature is wonderful and I did not notice a jump in my electric bill by using it.

  • Difficult to mount but does get warm
Style: Without Thermostat Color: Black
This heater is very quiet, you don't even hear it's on. We have it in our sun room that gets very cold in the winter. The low setting in my opinion is not very warm but on level 3 it does warm the room nicely. I gave it 3 stars due to the mounting issues we had. Warning the installation instructions don't make sense for how it actually needs to be done. I suggest playing around to see how it goes before screwing anything in that's what we had to do ... show more

  • Works as advertised
Style: Without Thermostat Color: Black
I purchased one of these and mounted in our patio. The patio is 16X20 and is screened only on one side. For this size patio, I wish I would have purchased a larger heater. It does heat up, but for the size of our patio, it should be larger. I did read other reviews that made similar comments. And, the product doesn’t advertise as if it will cover that size space. That being said, it works as advertised and have had no issues. It is mounted above a larger heater sliding glass door and actually doesn’t look bad the way it is mounted. For a smaller patio, it would be perfect. ... show more
