Danluke Waterproof Outdoor Infrared Patio Heater

The heater is heavy. The main exterior components are constructed from steel, which should add to its longevity, but it sacrifices convenience because of the added weight. Other heaters use aluminum and are very portable.

At first, the assembly seemed simple, but the simplicity was countered by the difficulty of mounting the base plate. The grab bar came with no instructions, and my unit may have needed some hardware to mount the upper bars to it.

The remotes work within a user range commensurate with the heater’s heating range.

The unit heats up quickly, as does the entire unit. These heaters are not designed to be near flammable items, pets, children, etc.

From what I could tell, the unit does not have a tip-over shut-off function. Tipping the unit over would take some force, but if it were placed in an outdoor setting or workshop—garage and something were to happen to fall on it and tip it over, it could cause some issues.

The heater works as advertised, but like any other portable heater, caution needs to be exercised. Other units with safety features may not require as much caution. Use common sense and caution when using this heater.

I bought it because it has a 500W option and I’m using a power station so I needed a lower wattage outdoor heater. The advertisement shows a picture of a man in a bathtub with the Freestanding Model-A behind him heating him while he’s in the bathtub. In the book that comes with the product it states in the warning section: “DO NOT USE WITHIN REACH OF A SHOWER, BATH OR SWIMMING POOL.”. The switch on top is covered with a basic clear plastic guard to keep water out . The base is adequate and it won’t fall over easily. The handles are OK but one of the screws stripped immediately when I screwed it in so be careful with the low quality screws. It produces a good amount of heat. On the lowest setting at 500W it will heat the area about 3′ in front of it. On the highest setting I could feel the heat from about 10′ away. It should work OK if pointed toward you and within 10′. If you want something that projects heat further then consider a patio heater with a fan or a greenhouse heater with a fan. Because it’s an infrared heater it won’t work well with a fan.

Nice size heater, powerful. Not a huge fan of the safe guard but I know it’s best to keep it on.

Overall, this stand heater is a decent product for its price. One of the standout features is its remote control, which operates effectively from a fair distance. The touch-responsive buttons make it convenient to adjust settings, and it impresses with its rapid heating capabilities, especially appreciated during chilly winters.

The brightness of the heater’s light is remarkable, almost akin to basking in sunlight, which adds a cozy ambiance to the room. Assembly was relatively straightforward, except for the safety bar at the top. Mounting it securely proved to be a bit of a challenge due to the stubborn screws that were difficult to tighten.

Although I haven’t utilized the timer function yet, it’s a handy addition for scheduling heating sessions. With multiple heat settings, even the lowest setting emits a noticeable warmth from several feet away, ensuring comfort wherever you are in the room. Overall, despite some minor assembly issues, this stand heater performs admirably and provides excellent value for its price.
