Hanover Outdoor 48,000 BTU Propane Umbrella Patio Heater 7 Feet Tall with Wheels, Push Button Start, and Adjustable Temperature for Backyard Events and Outdoor Entertaining, Bronze and Stainless Steel

much needed for these cool az nights

I have not used the heater yet, but wanted to comment that the assembly went very smooth. The instructions were clear and even had images and descriptions of every nut and bolt you use with each step. The small parts were nicely packaged in a blister pack also well labeled, not only specifying the part name and description but what they will be used to assemble.As others have noted, the protective plastic film was tedious to remove but not that bad.I did start up the heater and it functioned, I just have not had the opportunity to test it in the cold.

Works well on our screened-in deck. We have a 10-foot ceiling but most of these things are 8' and want a 3' clearance. This one was just a little over 7' and only asked for 2' but we put it in the middle so it had the max headroom of about 3'Assembly took about 45 minutes and needed an extra pair of hands for a few parts.There were two issues with the assembly and instructions.1. They did forget to remind you at the end to tighten the screws around the base that were installed first with instructions to not fully tighten them.2. The blue film on the reflector was very frustrating to remove as they must have put in on when the pieces were flat and then rolled the edges so there was really no way to remove all of the film. Guess it will just melt in place ;(It's good to recheck everything once you think you are done.

After years of lighting problems with my old heater I bought this and assumed there could still be lighting issues, it's what I'm used too... but this lite up on the 1st time after 5 seconds of holding the button. It has lite up immediately every single time over the last 3 months, even after changing the tank. I have NEVER had to click it twice. I am so impressed. It was fairly easy but a bit time consuming to assemble, and the round tank cover (bottom part) was a bit dented and slighting out of round. So instead of returning, I use a rubber mallet made it round again and it fit great on the base. When we have friends over in the patio and it gets cold, I just light it (the 1st time!) and get back to the party. The propane went out once with company and I had to change out the tank and they were impressed that I could just open the side door and replace the tank. I didn't realize so many of these styles that you have to lift the round tank cove up, hold it somehow, while someone changes it. But this has the door which makes it simple. I'm really happy. Bought this in December of 2019 and no problems with lighting what so ever.

To top of the cylinder housing was significantly scratched. There was no protective layer on it. See pics.Seems like a quality item, with packaging issues. If you get, inspect it carefully and expect to have to request replacement partsEDIT: Manufacturer offered to send a replacement part. Despite me sending pics of the issue, the name of the part in the manual... they sent the wrong part.

Love it! Easy to put together, I had no trouble removing the film. Works great and good value.

We are really happy w/ this unit. We live in the northern part of the country and friday evening it got chilly. So happy we had ordered this as it worked great to give a nice warmth to the deck so we could stay out side w/ our guests and watch the football game.The wicker basket matches our Outdoor furniture perfectly. These are like a matched set!!! Assembly was a breeze. The instructions outlined the assembly perfectly. I can see this coming in very handy this fall. If you have a need I certainly would recommend the Hanover brand to any one. Great product!

Everything is perfect on this heater except there is a table top that is included in the pictures that is missing from the heater that I received. The table top was the only reason I went with this heater. I will update if the manufacturer will resolve this problem.
