Amazon Basics 46,000 BTU Portable Outdoor Propane Patio Heater with Wheels, Commercial & Residential, Easy to Use, with Water Tank, Havana Bronze, 32.1 x 32.1 x 91.3 inches

Packaging: * Arrived in good condition, two day shipping to allow assembly prior to Christmas Eve * Instructions were the first item on top of the packaging, and in English only * Interior was wrapped with Styrofoam end pieces and each item individually wrapped Assembly: * Well written instructions and diagrams * All hardware was in a self-contained and labeled package, with none left over or missing (go figure) * Most instructions were easy to follow although attaching the burner assembly was a little vague * Took about 1.5 hours from start to flame on.......I'm not a handyman Fitment: * All pieces went together well although a couple of times I had to go back and loosen fasteners to align the holes....its recommended * Burner fired up first time I tried to turn it on Overall Assessment: This is a great item, I recommend it and would buy it again although i can't yet speak to the long term use. This product was a second choice as I found some very similar products at lesser costs but they were unavailable at the brick and mortar store or they were unable to have the heater arrive for our planned event. However, through Amazon, I was able to purchase this item at a competitive price and have it arrive in two days with reasonable additional shipping costs. I was pleasantly pleased at the condition of the box and the interior contents as it was packaged very well. All items were clearly marked or shown in the diagram in the instructions. They went together well but I suggest leaving the hardware loosened until you complete each step then tighten after that step. I assembled in the kitchen using the table and counters as a layout and bench. I had initially filled the base with water, but it leaked so I skipped that step and will fill it with sand at a later date. The rest was a breeze. I completed putting it together and moved it outside on our screened in porch (high ceilings) attached the propane tank and it was flame on the first time I tried. The wife was pleased because she now had a heat source on the porch so people can gather and sit outside and talk or spill over from the family Christmas Dinner and if Momma's happy......well, you know the rest. FOLOW UP.....The after party.....just wanted to let you know that Christmas Day couldn't have been better and much of it was because of the utility of the heater. We burned it, with kids sitting under it chatting, for hours after opening presents and sitting outside for dinner. Granted, it was almost 50 degrees but it worked great. It also allowed a place for the kids late in the evening to sit and swap stories. Couldn't have been any better if it was the 4th of July. Thanks Amazon for great and speedy service....as always.

We’ve had this patio heater for about 2 years now and so far so good. It’s easy to use and gives out pretty good heat. It covers an outdoor patio pretty well. It’s adjustable- can turn heat up or down. So far so good. I think it’s worth it

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.

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!

Worked great for the cold days that remained when I decided I had enough of the cold while sitting on the deck or in the garage sipping whiskey and smoking. As with all propane products you have to practice safety, so please use this product correctly. Otherwise it's a great buy and puts out good heat to keep you and your family, or guests, warm. I can't wait for the few cold days we get in Texas so I can light this up again. Better to be warm in the cold than hot in the heat, regardless of air movement, LOL.

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 in photo). On the lowest setting you'll need to be almost right under it to feel the warmth. I expect we'll go through a fair amount of propane since we're about 8 feet away. The unit is attractive and, overall, seems well built. It would be nice if the heat reflector was larger, as that would likely provide a larger heat radius. I'd also like to see an adjustable pole instead of the fixed length. Provided the heater lasts, this is a great deal. Feb 2023 update: everything is still working great! Updating my review to five stars. Oct 2023 update: After not using the heater for about six months (hot Florida), it fired up on the first try this week. I remain very pleased with my purchase. Dec 2024 update: Still working perfectly, and it fired up on the first try again this season!

Pull everything out of the box. Make sure you get the hardware packet out. Have someone start peeling off the blue protective tape from the 4 pieces that attach together as well as the very top piece b/c this process is tedious and time-consuming. In taking off the blue film, use small motions around the edges to get it going. Get a socket set and screw driver. Then, only attach the four curved metal pieces together, into a big circle, using the outside holes b/c you'll then attach the very top piece to it using the inside holes. The very top piece goes "bowl" down. Order: 1. wheels onto base 2. 3 curved rods attach to the base. The curved tops point at each other (facing in). I now put the 20 lb gas tank onto the base. 3. lower pipe triangle attaches to the top of the 3 curved rods 4. upper pipe attaches to heater unit after feeding gas line down down the upper pipe 5. circle, with very top cover (bowl down) now attached, attaches to heater unit with 3 double-threaded screws. 6. Take out the 4 existing screws from the top of the lower pipe. You'll use these again to attach the whole upper part of the heater to the lower half of the heater. 7. feed the gas line from the bottom of the upper pipe down through the lower pipe so that it comes out by the gas tank. 8. screw it onto a 20 lb. lp tank. 9. after opening the tank valve and turning the unit dial a 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and holding it in, push the igniter button. It ignites pretty quickly but you have to keep pushing the dial in for a few more seconds to get a good gas flow. Hope this helps!

Where to begin.... First, I guess, a disclaimer: I have assembled the unit, but haven't yet turned it on, so this review is based on my "assembly" experience. The first thing you're supposed to do is disassemble the base unit from its housing & fill it with sand or water. I chose water because I live in rural Vermont & don't have access to sand. Once you complete that, you're instructed to reattach the collar to the base unit using the four screws & bolts you previously removed to take the it apart. Easy enough, right? Except that when you tighten them, you must be real careful. After the reassembly, there was water all over the floor, BECAUSE THE NUTS WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE BASE. Furthermore, there was absolutely no reason to take the base apart - you can fill it while it's together. I probably should have stopped & asked for a return at that point, but the shipping carton arrived in deplorable condition, & there was no way I would have been able to put it back in the box. Next problem - Step3 (& I have read & reread the assembly instructions to see if I messed this up) is for the attachment of the "Post Supports." WHAT THEY DON'T EXPLAIN IS THAT THEY ARE NOT IDENTICAL! TWO HAVE SMALL HOLES ON THE UPRIGHTS THAT ARE NEEDED IN (GET THIS) STEP 11, BASICALLY THE LAST STEP OF THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS! IF YOU DON'T PUT THE ONE POST WITHOUT THE SMALL HOLES IN BETWEEN THE OTHER TWO, YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE THE ENTIRE UNIT APART TO REPOSITION THEM CORRECTLY AFTER YOU THINK YOU'RE DONE! In Step 9, there is no guidance in which side of the REFLECTOR PIECES the CAP NUT should be secured to (how the screw & nut should be inserted). I took a chance & attached them to the bottom - hope I'm right.... At NO POINT in the instructions do they tell you to attach the UPPER POST (F) to the LOWER POST (G), but I'm just being picky here - that's kind of easy to figure out. In Step 11, you are instructed to put your propane tank "on top of the "Post Supports." This is an obvious mistake, as it the tank sits on the base BETWEEN the Post Supports. Then you're asked to "SECURE THE PROPANE TANK BY ATTACHING THE CHAIN (L) TO THE POST SUPPORTS." AT THIS POINT, I HAD TO TAKE THE UNIT APART AND REPOSITION THE POST SUPPORTS TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE DAMN CHAIN, & THEN REASSEMBLE IT! Hope this is useful should you decide to purchase this item.

Amazing heater. Great value for the money and the colour is an amazing bonus. It's quite a conversation piece. Love it. Casts off the perfect amount of heat. Perfect for patios or decks.

We chose this based on price. It was relatively easy to put together. It works good and gives off a lot of heat for our patio. We recommend.

These do throw a lot of heat. But if it’s windy then not so much, like all heaters. We have it on our deck away from the wind and it’s perfect for fall nights.

I only recommend this product from Amazon outdoor propane heater very well built, fantastic highly highly recommend

Je l’ai installé avec mes garçons, donc assez facile. Fonctionne toujours très bien après 2 été. Donne une bonne chaleur lors de nos cine parc.
