After seeing the pictures and reading the description we were excited to see that we could buy such a great item that was both decorative and inexpensive. Unfortunately, both were misleading. It heats an area about 12 inches below the unit and that is all! If you hang it outdoors above a table and chairs (as shown in the picture), you will NEVER feel the heat. I called Kotula's and they explained that this item has less power than a "blow dryer" and that it will not heat an area, but just an object. They would not accept the return after 30 days (even though it took 3mos to get to me) and said that I should call the manufacturer to see if they could help me. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM OR ANY OTHER FROM KOTULA'S!!!

I am fairly disappointed in the output. We purchased this for a covered porch above a table, If you stand under the heater, you can feel the warmth. While sitting at the table, it provides no benefit at all. I would only recommend this for an enclosed area, not an open patio.

At first, I got two of these for our little pergola area (13'x10') but then ordered one more so we could have more even heating all around. I'd love it if they were a little warmer, but with three going, the space reaches a comfortable (not hot) level. They have two switches, so you can choose low or high. Any bit of wind blows the heat away, but I guess that would happen with any heater. I like that these are suspended so they don't take up any floor or table space, and that they're electric, so they're not spewing toxins into the air. From a distance, they look like little flying saucers!

Honest reviews on Fire Sense Hanging Halogen Patio Heater

Works as expected. Make sure you have the properly rated extension cord if you don't have a close enough plug for the heater. Let's off a lot of ambient light too. Keep in mind it won't make you feel toasty warm in a completely open setting, just take the chill off. Bought a little propane heater for our feet, the mr heater big buddy, the two work great together

I bought two of these heaters for a 15' round tent with a high ceiling. The heaters are beautiful, and do a good job of taking the edge off the chill on a summer night. They don't produce enough heat for Southern California winter. What motivated me to write a review is the great customer service provided by Fire Sense. I went on their online chat to find out how long the warranty is. The response was one year. I've been having trouble with one of them, but I've had them for 16 months. After hearing from "chat" that it was one year, I logged out and figured I'd have to buy a new one. An hour or so later, I got an email from their customer service person who noted that I ended the chat without any further discussion and wanted to know the problem. I explained, and long story short, they offered to replace the defective heater with a new one, even though it was out of warranty! That's great customer service!!

The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5, is that it would have to provide enough heat for SoCal winter for me to give it 5 stars.
