Kelcea Propane Patio Heater

It was easy enough to put together. Now, I am waiting for fall weather

"First off it is Not a [Kelcea] heater that I received, but rather a Highland. Not a deal breaker, but kinda shady if you ask me. So assembly of this thing: 1. Possibly takes an hour to assemble if you have a helper and everything lines up perfectly so you don't have to ""massage"" it to get it to fit. Also, the directions and drawings leave something to be desired. 2. Wear gloves! There are some sharp edges on the sheet metal details! Manufacturer was haphazard in burring the parts. 3. Don't over tighten screws could easily strip out internal threads. Also, make sure parts and holes line up. Very easy to cross thread. 4. Make sure the base support's (glass tube and ignitor control assembly) corner struts tops are flush with lower leg supports' ""tops"". This is important for next step assembling upper supports. The upper struts slide into the gap between lower support and base support. The drawing and instructions don't mention this. If you set the base support too low the distance between it and the frame arrestor will be too great, and the top of glass tube will not engage arrestor when fully seated on base. The rest of the assembly is pretty straight forward. I temporarily used zip ties to help hold in place base support assembly while I aligned and screwed together to the struts. Overall look not bad, however, the sheet metal covers don't match exactly color wise with strut supports. The knob on front cover kinda cheezy...plastic. I have yet to get a propane tank, so I can't speak to how it lights. I'll keep my fingers crossed on that! Overall not bad, but for the quality of the item it should be half the price (fitment and color issues). Hence why I give it three stars only."

Love my heaters more accent than heat !!

This is beautiful and nice quality for the price. It was just what I was looking for to light up evenings and add a little warmth. The heat output is nice on a slightly cool evening but any weather in the 50’s it just can’t keep up. The reason for the 4 star vs 5 star is for installation instructions. Once you’re past the install frustration it’s nice. Don’t buy if you want actual heat on cool nights, heat comes out about 5’

I love this heater! I bought this heater more for the look than to heat up my outdoor space. It works pretty good but I do wish it gave off more heat for the are I have it in it does pretty good but I should probably add a second heater if I really want to feel the heat. Overall it’s perfect for my little patio.
