Everything was great until….

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2022

I loved this at first. Now, frustrated. I purchased this a few weeks ago to extend my deck time this fall. Went together easy. It lit easy with the first three propane bottles. The heat was perfect for my needs. But when I tried to light it on the fourth bottle, the pilot light won’t stay lit. I’ve followed the directions as I did the first three times. I can push and hold the dial for five minutes. The pilot light will light every 30 clicks of the striker. When it does, it hardly lights. When it used to to a blue flame, now it’s yellow flame. Thinking it will get hot enough to stay lit, I hold it and hold it. No matter how long I do, it doesn’t stay lit. It’s pretty worthless right now. I won’t but this again. I wasted $120.

Works great. This table top patio heater was easy to put together and the pilot light ignites on the first or second click of the igniter every time.
Most reviewers that have given this heater low grades is because it does not put out enough heat. A person has to understand that this heater is only 11,000 BTUs, so you must be fairly close to it to stay warm. I for one, placed it on a small table between two patio chairs about 24" from each chair. It keeps us warm at outside temps down to the low 50's when there is no wind. Any colder than that, or if it's windy, I have no desire to sit outside anyway.

I also run the heater off a 20 lb tank and a adapter hose. The 1 lb bottles would last less than 2 hours on high. The only complaint I have is that there is no cutout in the base for the adapter hose as the pictures show. But it looks great and performs well.

pretty much as expected

never had one before, but I think it is good. the lighting switch did not work at first but my son noticed it was not connecting, so he bent it a little and now it works...it also will work with a "match" the bad thing about it is that the tank only lasts a couple of hours!!! no fault of the item, but I would have liked to have known. I don't like the idea of throwing those things away. seems like a lot of waste. I'll only be using i now for special occasions. not nearly as much as I would have liked. Also, even if it runs out of propane and the tank is removed, don't bring it in the house.
It set off our fire alarm. Keeping it "empty" in the shed now, when not in use.

Works good but high fuel consumption

This puts off a great amount of heat and is wonderful to have out on the patio but it does go through a small fuel tank in about 30 min.

Bigger than we thought it would be!

We were pleasantly surprised at the size of the item. if you’re looking for something small to go on a tiny table top, this is not for you, however, if you’re trying to warm a nice sized area and want to put this on a larger table, or a picnic table, this is perfect!!
It was very easy to put together, and worked with no problems the first time we tried to turn it on.
We liked it so much we’re thinking we might get a second!

Almost useless in any kind of wind!

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2023

I bought the heater for my wife who goes outside on our deck in all kinds of weather to smoke. I thought the heater would help in the winter. We have had a north wind for week or so, and the heater has been useless. Most of the time it will not light up, if it does, the flame is disturbed by any kind of wind, it is a waste of time having it on We are not talking storm force winds either. I am going to try make a wind brake of some kind and see how that goes. Very disappointing performance.

Fiddly to get started, but works great if you follow these directions

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2021

When I was considering buying this heater I noticed the reviews largely fell into very good or very bad. The very bd ones were mostly people who couldn't get it to work and this is because it IS tricky to get it to work if, as I was, you are not experienced at working with devices powered by propane cannisters. However, once you get the hang of it, it works very well. I gave it fewer stars on "easy to assemble" because that was the closest summary statistic for ease of getting it to work. Assembly of the heater itself is trivial. To get it to work, you need to connect a 1lb propane cannister. First, for complete newbies, the cannisters ship with a black screwed on cap. Take that off and take off the small black cover on the tip of the heater's connector and you will see that the cannister easily screws onto the connector. Second, perhaps the best advice of all the reviews I read said to light it for the first time IN THE DARK. In daylight it is hard to tell whether the pilot light is lit, making for a very frustrating experience. So wait until dusk to try it. Then, watch the manufacturer's video here on the amazon page and do Exactly what they say. In particular, hold the knob in and 90 degrees to the left for a FULL MINUTE before pushing the starter button and keep it there while pushing the starter button and then for about 15-20 seconds AFTER the pilot lights. Especially the first time, you may need to push the button 15 times before the pilot lights. Make sure you push the button (each time) to the point where it clicks - you have to push it fairly hard. Resist the temptation to let go of the knob when you see the pilot flame. Hold it for another 15-20 seconds to let things heat up. Then release the knob, push in again and turn to catch the whole circle and adjust the level of heat. Once you have done this a few times, you get the hang of it and the pilot often ignites on a couple of pushes of the red button. It is nice and stable with a heavy bottom and puts out a good amount of heat. The one lb cannisters last about two hours. You can use a hose attachment to a 20 lb of propane tank, but I have not done that yet. Enjoy!

Tabletop Heater seemed to be have used parts (specifically the burner grill).

Brought this tabletop heater as new but parts appeared to looked like they were used. Also, the Heater is easy to assemble but the heat output is not hot even on high setting.
