Best Patio Heaters

If you're looking for an advanced heater for your property that would both look premium and work premium, the Trustech Patio Heater is worth your consideration. Photos simply don't reflect enough how nice it is and how much style it can add to your porch or patio. Also, it looks very durable and strong enough to hold under harsh weather conditions.

All that being said, the real gem is hidden inside. The patio heater is fitted with three halogen fire tubes and designed with an advanced carbon infrared heating technology. Therefore, it's able to output high heat almost instantly. After just 3 seconds, you'll feel the sunshine-like warmth. What's more, this unit doesn't produce greenhouse gases and is a more environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional propane heaters. Besides that, it can help you save 30% - 40% on electricity.

When it comes to adjustability, the heater shines here as well. It offers three different power levels (500 Watts, 1000 Watts, and 1500 Watts) to help you find your ideal temperature. At night, it's possible to switch the heater to an LED nightlight with softer light. The height and the tilt of the heater can also be adjusted anywhere from 5.9' to 6.6' and from 0° to 45°, respectively.

The Air Choice company has been on the market for over 10 years now, specializing solely in creating home-use heaters of various types. It's the type of brand that really knows its onions and delivers the best-in-class products with excellent service life and customer support. With each Air Choice product, the company offers a 2-year quality assurance warranty and a professional, lifetime technical support. This model is not an exception.

The Air Choice Patio Heater is the latest release from the brand that has already got its customers because of its unique design, plenty of heat output, and high-quality craftsmanship. It's carefully made from stainless steel covered with a durable finish that has a nice texture. Inside, it's fitted with a halogen bulb that is claimed to have an incredible lifespan of 6,000 hours. The halogen tube heats up within only 3 seconds, sending pleasant warmth without dioxide release. And even though it doesn't blow the heat like an air conditioner (and doesn't dry out the air accordingly), it does emit really high temperatures.

If you expect a lot of heat from a little unit, you can't go wrong with the Trustech portable electric heater. Having a very convenient wall-mounted design, it neither takes patio space nor draws attention to itself with its small dimensions and neat design. Being 18.7" in length, 5.1" in depth, and 3.7" in height, the heater is extra compact yet powerful enough for a large-sized room or porch. Also, the unit is not heavy and tricky to hang in the wall. It comes well-packed with all the hardware required for installation.

The unit is supplied already assembled with clear instructions that are easy to follow and even include some helpful pictures. Actually, you just need to fix the heater to the wall, using brackets and fasteners provided by the manufacturer. All the process takes no longer than 20 minutes if you're mounting the unit by yourself without extra assistance.

The only thing to note is that the installation instructions say that the heater must be at least 20 inches from the ceiling, roof, or other coverings. The same goes for distance from the side walls, even despite the fact that the unit has a mounting plate (creates at least 3-4 inches of clearance between the hot surface and wall).

Made from durable aluminum alloy, the Trustech heater is firm from both inside and outside. Although it has a certain waterproof grade, we don't think it's meant to be in direct contact with rain or snow, so it's better to use it in a covered spot if you're going to use it outdoors. That said, it's well suitable for a patio, balcony, garage, and shelter with a covered deck. Also, it's ideal for your bedroom, living room, or office. It can be easily uninstalled and moved to another location when you need.

Do you worry about the safety of your heater that needs to keep working throughout the night? Don’t worry since now you have the Trustech solution. This infrared heater is a sound alternative to propane heaters, which has an infrared red heating element instead of an open flame, making it a much safer option than gas heaters. Also, it emits no smells, chemicals, dust, or fumes to harm the environment and your health; it doesn’t have a flame and doesn’t burn oxygen, accordingly. This infrared heater nicely protects the moisture in your body and doesn't cause harm to your eyes even with prolonged use, meaning you won't feel glare or suffer from dry skin or nose. Instead, the folks at Trustech claim that an infrared heater like this is even beneficial to your health since it boosts metabolism, relieves fatigue, and is even able to alleviate symptoms of rheumatology and arthritis.

When compared to similar heaters, this model far outperforms them as well. It saves 40%-60% on electricity without any degradation of effectiveness. Made with a carbon fiber gold-coated tube, it delivers high-accuracy heat directly to people or objects instead of the environment. It gives a good amount of heat and radiates about 4 or 5 feet. Best of all, you can feel the warmth instantly since this model boasts 1-second rapid heating.

What we have here is another versatile heater that can be either free-standing or wall-mounted. Yet, unlike many other similar products, it already comes with a complete hardware set for any type of installation. Actually, you'll get a high-quality tripod and a long aluminum pole included in the pack. In general, the assembly is simple, especially if you already have some experience with similar devices. That said, the instructions are a bit vague and challenging because of poor diagrams and directions.

Once set up, the unit is fairly sturdy. Made from durable materials, the heater is highly impact-resistant and not prone to bending, dents, and deformation. It's also weather-proof and dust-proof (IP65-rated device), so it seems to stand up well to the elements. The golden tube here has great characteristics of wear-resistance, temperature-resistance, and corrosion-resistance as well.

We would like to emphasize that the unit is quite hefty, which we consider a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it's not that easy to move around. But, on the other hand, in combination with a wide tripod base, the heavy heater like this stands pretty stable and not that easy to tip over. However, if it still happens to fall, you can have peace of mind knowing the heater is fitted with tip-over protection (an automatic switch turns the device off).

As a nice touch, the set of this model also includes all the hardware required to secure the unit on the wall. So, if you're limited in space or would like to protect yourself from stumbling over the heater, you have an option to mount the Xbeauty Electric heater on the wall. Whatever option you choose, the warm red-orange glow of the heating element will help you set a relaxing, calming, and even romantic atmosphere at your place.
