Fire Sense 60485 All Seasons Patio Heater With Wheels 46,000 BTU Output Electronic Ignition System Portable Outdoor Propane Heater Patio Heater – Hammered Bronze

I purchased this for our lake home so that we could have it when we have cooler nights. Everything arrived in a nice package and I had no problems opening the box and taking out all the parts. The instructions were clear enough and assembly didn't take took long, though you will need a few small tools). There have been some post regarding the shields being bent, but in my case there wasn't any issue except to say that one of the shields was just slightly (and I mean slightly) bent - nothing that was of any concern. We have the unit connected to an external tank (had a licensed plumber come out and connect), fired it up and it worked the first time. Just read the instructions BEFORE lighting up. It gets warm quickly but to get really hot, it take several minutes. This unit works great for cooler nights and you can feel the heat about 5 feet away, but if you are much further out, you will not feel it very much. I would also say that this is great for cool nights, not extreme cold (just in my opinion). Of course, it very hot, don't touch, and allow some time to cool off. We love it - it was less expensive that others I have seen and works as advertised. Would highly recommend the purchase.

Practical review. I did a significant amount of research before selecting this product for my husband's holiday gift. He loved it and put it together immediately as it was cool enough to use that evening. We live in FL where we have an outdoor living room on our Lanai with a flat screen and seating for 12. It does get cold about 3 months a year at night and we really enjoy entertaining outdoors.Assembly: Reality: It took my husband the "suit" about an 1-1/4 hour to put it together. Easy enough directions and all the parts were there. I certainly wasn't going to get in his way although I am the one with all the power tools!Use: Directions are sufficient enough for an 8th grader to start and use it. I will say that if you are nervous around fuels or fire, you may want to see a YouTube How To video just to be safe. Funny smell at first (completely normal) as the chemicals on the metals burn off. Flames on bottom of element and the the mesh gets red hot. When cooled, mesh is blackened (also normal).Opinion/Observations: I love that I can sit in a shirt on a 30 degree evening and feel comfortable. Heat radiates about 7 feet out from the center and is perfect for our needs. I found when there is a good breeze going, the heat shifts in that direction so you may need to adjust placment. Not to be used with wind. Still haven't gone through a tank of propane in a month so I will say that it is efficient. Love having this. This model has wheels for moving it.(I couldn't imagine getting a heater without them.) I am going to spray an extra coat of clear protection on all the enamel finished surfaces as I did read about rusting. I did not purchase the cover as we have this on a covered lanai and storage space that is dry. We will store this in the summertime covered with disposable plastic sheeting.Overall: Great value for price/ This is a very nice low-middle range model for home use.

Received this today and put it together, and just fired it up. As another reviewer observed, all parts present, unit well packed and undamaged. All the holes lined up well, and the bolts all fit well where they were supposed to.It is easy to light, and seems to put out a respectable amount of heat. It is tall enough to be safe from hair lighting, yet not so tall that the heat is far from where it is needed. It is quiet, and the entire burner seems to light evenly with a nice blue flame. Most important, it seems safe to me. Reasonable build quality, a couple of safety features common to things propane, etc.I am taking one star away for poor instructions. The print and pictures are very small and poorly labeled, and aside from using one's logic and experience (which isn't hard for this particular assembly), the instructions on which sized bolts to use where is virtually non-existent.Still, happy with the purchase so far... It is what we needed at less than I thought I'd have to pay. And 2 day shipping was free with Amazon Prime.

Calienta a la perfección

This is a fantastic product - LOVE IT!!! First off, the colour is super - nice hammered bronze patina! It is also very easy to put together (other than pulling the plastic film off) and it lit on the first try. A standard 20 lb container of propane fits in the base (and has the added bonus of a chain to hold the tank in place) and is super easy to hook up to the line (that is included). Throws a great deal of heat and is easily adjusted for varying temperatures. Has a safety mechanism built it so that if it tips even sightly, the propane supply turns off. Great quality heater - I can see why Fire Sense is one of the best patio heater companies in North America. Would never buy a different brand. The product shipped from the US but I was not charged duty on the purchase. Updated review may 2020: product still works wonderfully!!!

Looks great, performs well. Assembles easily and give off enough heat.Exactly what I was looking for.

Good product. Easy to assemble and works as advertised.

Beautiful heater as far as patio heaters go. Excellent quality and produces effective heat over a pretty descent sized area. A bit pricy compared to others, so I'm not sure how that compares to quality. I was looking for higher BTU's.
