Great for cool mornings and evenings.
January 26, 2016
We bought this to heat the space under our balcony table on cold mornings. It performs fantastic if you realize it's an electric heater and is not going to perform like a propane fueled heater. We are only allowed electric appliances in our condo and this fit the bill. At temps below 40 degrees, the benefit is going to be reduced, but our So TX location usually stays a little warmer.

Great to heat the feat of guest at our outdoor patio table.

July 6, 2015
it's the best invention,sitting outside and keeping your feet warm,under the table. I can stay out later at night reading my book or even playing cards with your friends.I am looking forward to the winter to enjoy the cold nights. I am going to be nice and cozy.
Good for small spaces.

I put this under my deck chair on our screened in porch and it can make the difference if it's a little chilly. Doesn't generate a lot of heat, but does meet my need.
Outstanding!

Easy to put together once you get the hang of it. They are very large and produce nice heat and a very attractive flame. The heat takes a minute before it really starts going. These all came in nice boxes, plenty of padding and nothing broken and I bought 6 total.
Good Heater
October 3, 2016
We liked this unit so much we ordered three more for our dining venue. They are well made and easy to light unlike some other models we have tried. They look very nice with the tube that flames.
No issues here. Just as described.
April 4, 2016
I bought 2 and love them.My wife, son & I sat out side last night and were very comfortable. (No smoke smell from typical fire pit to keep warm.)I got better at the assembly by my second one. Not bad for an about 8 foot tall unit.I would buy another form this seller.
Nice patio heater
March 3, 2016
Easy to assemble, excellent ambiance. Decent heat (since it has a much smaller infrared component than traditional propane heaters and I had seen these column type at restaurants before, I didn't expect as much radiant heat). Nice product. Only weird thing is you have to open the base door to turn on and off but it is simply held in place by a magnet so just easily pull open, access the controls, and then close.
Great looking, good heat, and pleasant to watch.
December 11, 2015
It's tall, so better measure distance to the ceiling if its under a patio roof. Mine have a foot clearance to the patio beams. The beams got warm but not overheated. I have two heaters. Sitting between them keeps you warm even in 40 degree weather. They are great.

Supplemental Heater, waiting for the replacement unit.
November 21, 2013
This unit is used on a covered Patio. It worked well once, then failed. The return procedure easy and cost free. If the replaced unit works the same (without another failure) I will certainly be satisfied.

terrific....they look great and heat OK
Instructions were easy to follow
June 7, 2016
Instructions were easy to follow, everything you need is provided included the screw driver. All the bolts and screws are individually labeled so there is no question of which to use were. Only draw backs are the protective film you have to remove from the larger pieces. This is somewhat difficult and doesn't come off in one piece. Doesn't provide as much heat as expected - but overall very happy.

Tiki came with no directions very difficult to assemble without directions but love the thermo Tiki after it was all finished being assembled
Easy to put together
October 21, 2015
Easy to put together. Beautiful and good quality. Love the look at night. It does not give out that radiating heat I thought it would so I matched it down for that. I have it under my deck roof, so once I put in a roof fan I think the heat will push down.

We received this product missing some parts which made it for a non so great experience to begin with but the response and helpfulnes of this seller made up for it. I wuold really recommend based on this. the item works OK, but I wish I would have purchased a better one (More BTUs) of heat...

Does not generate a lot of heat! Bought off season or I would have returned it.
DOESN'T GIVE OFF MUCH HEAT.
December 16, 2015
Doesn't generate much heat, but there is some heat. Easy to turn on and off pedal. Now that i have it, I would not recommend it to other people because it is just not warm enough to notice a substantial difference.
Puts out heat....
January 16, 2014
OK... so... this is an infrared heater. That means, it heats the PERSON and not the area around the heater. With that said, it does an OK job at that, and would probably work better on a slightly warmer night than the night we used it.... (about 45 degrees). Ended up returning the item. Nice, but just not enough heat for me.

It looks really nice but it definitely doesn't put out 10 ft of heat.
Gorgeous Heater. BUT, where is the heat?
December 30, 2015
This is a beautiful and well constructed heater. Looks gorgeous when assembled and got many complements on it from friends.BUT, THATS WHERE IT ENDS. The heat produced by this heater is barely felt if you are sitting one chair away (3 ft) from the heater. You will basically need to stand around it if you want to get warm.Also, the manual states that this heater WORKS WITH REDUCED EFFICIENCY UNDER 40 DEGREES. Didn't realize it at the time of purchase.If it wasn't too much of an effort to repackage and return it, I would have.

Poor heat output
December 3, 2015
It has very poor heat output. I would have returned it, but I would have had to pay shipping plus a 15% restocking charge. So I reluctantly kept it.Wish I had paid attention to the reviews before I purchased it.

SUPER DISAPPOINTED.

Took me 3 hours to put together. Mainly peeling off the protective material on the metal. This thing is huge and puts off ZERO HEAT unless you are 1 foot from it. SUPER DISAPPOINTED...

EHH QUALITY. HIT OR MISS WHEN IT WILL ACTUALLY WORK
Beautiful as expected...With a twist!
May 6, 2016
Box was in rough shape when it arrived but we made quick work of the assembly and it went together with ease. Doesn't throw off the most heat but we expected that from the previous reviews. The ambiance more than makes up for the lack of heat and its an attention getter! Id buy another.Update: As 30 days of ownership approached our heater developed flame issues. It became difficult to ignite, then when it did ignite it developed additional flames and the glass tube quickly became discolored with soot. We attempted to contact both the manufacturer and wholesaler without success and ultimately returned our heater to Amazon. We're disappointed to say the least.
Looks great no heat
January 1, 2016
The heater was not difficult to put together and looks really good, especially at night when the flames look really cool. Everyone comments on how unusual it looks. Unfortunately it gives off very little heat, much less than a more conventual outdoor heater and since we purchased the product for heat, not just looks we've been very disappointed. I would not recommend product to anyone who needs a heater but for purely decorative purposes it's great.

Worked a couple times; now it is dead. Looks like it is trying to work but fan is not emitting any directional heated air. Don't waste your money.

To feel the heat, you have to be not but an inch or two away from it.

A waste of money for outdoor use
November 17, 2015
Inadequate for outdoor use even in Florida in relatively mild temperatures. Probably OK for heating in a garage or small workshop. It's low and heavy so it won't get knocked over in a shop.Do yourself a favor and forget this heater for outdoor use, I wish I had, and the freight to return it is probably over half the cost so I probably just bought a nice overpriced garage heater that I don't really need., and the freight to return it probably doesn't make it worthwhile.

Major parts missing. All screws to hold product together. Wheel base. Unusable.
Disappointed

No screws or bolts were in the shipment. Had to send entire package back.
Stopped working after 6 months. Customer service not helpful.
June 8, 2016
The heater stopped working after 6 months. I used it only twice. Emailed the company, no reply. Called the company. They promised someone would contact me. No one did. Called again. They then told me they can't do anything because the unit is out of warranty (warranty is only 60 days). They recommended I read the manual for further troubleshooting tips (seriously!). Don't buy!!!

Looks nice but NO HEAT

Looks nice but NO HEAT! We were leaning on it to feel just a little. Definitely would not recommend it. Wish I would have read the reviews before.
Looks great. Great ambiance on a dark evening
November 23, 2014
Looks great. Great ambiance on a dark evening, but it doesn't give you much heat if you're sitting next to it. As you would expect, the heat rises up and out the top. I contacted the company, as they requested, before writing this review. I told them you can't feel the heat when you sit in a regular height chair next to this unit. They told me I must be using bad propane and that I should not buy propane from places like Walmart or Home Depot. I guess if I bought better propane the hot air wouldn't rise.
