Swan Al Fresco SSwan Al Fresco Portable Electric Stand Patio Heater, SH16330N, Garden and Outdoor Heating, Lightweight, Tip Over Safety Switch, IP44 Approved, 1200w Power, 60cm Height, Black

Quick and easy to assemble, heats up immediately and keeps our entire gazebo (3mx3m) warm with ease.

This provides soft, sun-like warmth if you sit two to three feet from it. We have used two in the pandemic at those times when it has been permitted to meet in the garden, one for us and one for a visiting couple. Quite pleasant heat. Ideal for use on patio/decking especially if it can be safely located a couple of feet above the ground as you sit near it. We, and our visitors, are very happy with it. It is easily transportable and is upright so has quite a small footprint for storage - about a square foot should be sufficient Its only drawback is the 1.8 metre cable. You will almost certainly need to use in conjunction with an extension lead.

This is a stylish and stable patio heater. On account of climate change, I’m not generally a fan of outdoor heating, but I’ve made an exception because of Covid-19. We can now continue to see friends out of doors and socially distanced as the weather gets colder. I’m very pleased with this purchase.

Warm and cosy looking, but you need it quite close to feel the heat. I love the portability of it, it has a carry handle at the top and is lightweight. I needed two, one each side, to really feel the warmth though.

This is so easy to move and store, perfect for my balcony. It doesn’t give out a massive amount of heat but enough to keep the chill away in Scotland. Very unobtrusive and neat and is an excellent buy considering how little it cost.

We purchased this to warm our veranda seating area. We were pleasantly surprised with the heat output, not over powering, just right for background heat. The stand looks good too.

No problems with the heater. Very easy to assemble but I just wish it threw out a lot more heat but it will do

This patio heater gives out very little heat. Even with bare skin you need to be within about 20cm to feel ANY warmth at all. If you’re wearing long trousers, for example, then you need to be almost in physical contact with it to feel the warmth. In other words, if you’re expecting this to keep you and your friends warm on a patio as the sun goes down, prepare to be massively disappointed. I’m returning this product as it’s utterly useless.
