Perfect for our Halloween party! The guests loved have somewhere to warm up. It was pretty easy to set up, but power tools did help. It does not come with the propane tank so keep that in mind, but it’s holding up great!

Insignia Patio Heater It’s been sometime since I’ve owned a Patio Heater, with the last one being about 2 homes ago. However, given the colder winters over the last couple of years, I thought it was time to try out one for our patio at home. In the box, you’ll find the patio heater in several parts, the user manual, the installation hardware, and the warranty info. I should note, that the hardware included doesn’t include a screwdriver or a second wrench which is recommended for easier assembly. I ended up putting this together on my own, and it took about an hour from start to finish. I’d also recommend removing the blue plastic wrap prior to installation, as this was by far the most frustrating part of the assembly. The instructions are fairly straightforward, but I will warn you that the bolts included seem poorly made, as some of the heads didn’t fit well with the included wrench. This resulted in my having to pull out my home tool set and using a couple of different sized wrenches to get everything tightened up. I will say, that all the machined spots all matched up well, and didn’t require a lot of work to screw together. This obviously doesn’t include a propane tank, so prepare to shell out a bit more (in my case around $50) for a new tank. The storage area where the propane tank sits, also includes a small plastic inner container for water or sand to keep the unit from easily tipping over. I opted to use water, as this would make it easier to empty out, should I decide to store this in a storage unit. The patio heater doesn’t include a weather cover, so keep this in mind if it’s exposed to the elements. I found the ignition to work almost immediately during each use, as it includes a small AAA battery for the igniter. So how much heat does this put out. On the highest setting, I found this to cover the entire patio with heat (about 10x10 area) without any issue. Even when the wind was blowing, the heater never once blew out, which was great for the evening I was able to use it. Again, make sure you remove the blue plastic before putting on the top most housing of the heater. I missed a few plastic slivers, and they started smoking as they melted away during my initial use, but didn’t cause any damage. Overall, this does exactly as advertised. It did take a little more effort to assemble, but once it was put together it felt solid, and thus far has been used only a handful of times with plenty of heat. So, if you’re in the market for a patio heater, I’d say give this one a shot!
