I did a lot of research and without question this was the best Natural gas patio heater for the money. It compares to units 3 times its cost that did not look nearly as attractive. Easy set up and connection to my natural gas connector, slender in look and puts out a lot of heat particularly after it gets going for a short period of time. I've only had it a few months but expect great long term results. I'll use it through the winter and spring for sure. I did get a third part cover for it. Note: If you have an area of high winds there are brackets for you to be able to screw a heavy stone or something to the bottom to keep it from turning over. I don't have that problem but that might be a need or consideration in some areas
The main support column consisted of three pieces that fit so poorly that it flexed at each joint. The description indicated a 12 foot hose, implying a lot of flexibility in locating the gas connection, but the description didn't identify that more than half that hose length was used inside the column from the base to the burner head. Finally, the unit did not produce the "fifteen foot radius of heat" that was described...not even a fifteen foot diameter. I disassembled the unit and sent it back the next day. On a positive note, Great Offer Stock.com's return policy and procedure was outstanding and virtually hassle-free..
This heater will put out some heat. It keeps us warm during the early evening while watching movies outside. You can still feel the heat even when siting about 12 feet away. I would have given this item a 5, but I had to drill my own hole to screw two of the pieces together. The factory holes did not line up. Also, the hose comes out the bottom and if it's not in mulch or grass, it will make the hole heater tilt. Unless there is a hole for the hose somewhere else that I could not find. You will also need a longer hose if you want to keep the heater more than 2 or 3 feet away from your NG outlet.
This heater was one of the few natural gas heaters I found at an affordable price. Since I have a large screened porch I ordered two. They are effective but need to produce more BTU's to warrant a great 5 star rating. If you don't to mess with tanks I would recommend this heater.
This looks good and works well if you have a natural gas connection. However, the base is really lightweight. It comes with a method to bolt it to your patio, and we did try. However, our patio is brick and it didn't stay well even though we bought special hardware. It ended up tipping during high winds and getting pretty dented up. The bolting down might work better on a wood deck. I think they could have done a better job of adding weight to the base.
I got this to avoid the hassle of propane running out. But the hose is way too short. It barely fits through the cylinder and leaves about as much hose to plug in as is shown in the picture. You won't be able to move the heater anywhere unless you buy an extension, which costs about $40 even on***. The rest of the heater is sturdy and well-constructed. It takes about an hour to assemble out of the box. Also, you will need a special reducing fitting to attach the hose connector to a normal galvanized gas line. All in all, expect to invest another $50 if you want utility from this unit.
This is a great heater. After spending hundreds of dollars on Propane last year I switched to Natural Gas. The product was delivered on time and was easy to assemble. Worked first time out of the box and continues to do so.
Great heater for patio! Works great with my NG convenience outlet! Keeps our patio nice and warm in the cool evenings and in the fall or early spring
product was easy to assembly and install. Works great and perfect for our pool deck
No more running out of LP in the middle of a party! No more tank swapping. This is a great heater. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is the reflector is a bit cheezy because it is assembled from 4 pieces with screws and nuts. Our old LP heater and a one piece reflector which gave it a more finished sleek look. You will want more than one of these babies for your yard as they are popular with party guests!
Couldn't be more pleased. I have no connection with Great Offer Stock other than customer. Product arrived THE NEXT DAY! Amazing given its size. It assembled easily and fired up the first time. Really well worth the price although I don't see why natural gas version should cost so much more. The convenience of not having to bother with a propane tank (not to mention the cost) makes the extra cost unimportant (maybe they know that!) All in all - if you have natural gas source available and need a patio heater - get this one.
Arrived damaged, with dents int the bell. Problematic to light, stands crooked and in less than 3 months of owning it it won't stay lit, (confirmed the source gas works fine.). This guy is a lemon.
