Fire Sense Telescoping Infrared Indoor/Outdoor Heater with Offset Pole Mount, Black

I live in New York City and own an apartment with outdoor space. Most outdoor heaters require propane tanks and propane tanks are not easy to acquire or refill when you rely on public transportation. I was hoping this Infrared Heater would extend the use of my outdoor space into the fall/winter, however that has not been the case. I received this very big box that required me to put some parts together. Assembly wasn't terrible, but more than I had anticipated. I put everything together, moved it outside to my 18x5 balcony and turned it on. After several minutes I checked to see how much of the balcony was warmed and was SERIOUSLY disappointed. In order to be warmed by this lamp you would have to sit within 12 inches of the pole.

Works fantastic!

Recurring problems with heater turning off and on after about 45 seconds. One minute you're hot the next cold then hot then cold then hot... There is no reason to pay for a menopause experience. Manuf sent replacement head assembly. Didn't even want the old head back... So it's not a repairable problem. Exact same problem with second head Clearly don't test anything before they ship it Poor quality manufacturing and quality control. Buy something else. Can't post with zero stars. Would give it negative stars if that were an option

This heater does absolutely nothing anyone would want. At best it is a $270 hand warmer. As another reviewer mentioned, even sitting directly under it will barely warm the top of your head. If you buy this, you WILL be disappointed.
