Cuisinart Perfect Position Propane Patio Heater, 38,200 BTU Powerful Directional Stainless Steel Outdoor Heater with Hidden Tank and Drink Table, Swivel Arm and Reflective Heat Shield

I can’t say enough great things about the Cuisinart COH-400 Perfect Position Overhead Propane Patio Heater! The extra-large 33" heat shield provides incredible warmth, but the real game-changer is the offset heater design. Unlike traditional patio heaters, this one keeps the heat focused right where you want it—no awkwardly huddling under the pole or trying to share the warmth unevenly. It’s perfect for outdoor gatherings, and everyone stays toasty, even on chilly nights. The sleek design and sturdy build make it both functional and stylish. Highly recommend for anyone who loves outdoor entertaining year-round!

Excellent source of heat.Well built

This took me and my son about 3 hours to put together. Lots of pieces, the base has sand in it to hold it and that was fantastic. The door that holds the propane isn’t my favorite. Putting the hose through the elbow was extremely challenging and took a long time. Has to use a metal hanger to get it though.Overall the product is fantastic and works great!

Igniter already quit working and now the thermocoupler appears to bad as the heater will not stay lit. I’ll try it again but this item is so heavy and assembly takes an hour so it’s difficult to just send it back.

We really like how the heater head can be over a table and not standing off to the side. This is not a lightweight cheap heater. With the weighted base, it is very stable.I've read comments about assembly time and the number parts. There are a lot of fasteners for sure. Just the cap on top is an assembly of 9 pieces and 15 fasteners. It took me about 90 minutes to complete the assembly but I'm a master mechanic and very adept at this sort of thing. It's not difficult if you lay out all the pieces in wide area, have a few tools, and have some patience. I've read in reviews comments about how difficult it is to feed the gas hose through the arm. The easiest thing to do is remove the black rubber grommet from the hole in the arm first, then pass the hose through. Use a pair of needle nose pliers to grab the hose fitting if your fingers can't grab it. Then put a little soap on the grommet to make it slippery, slide it over the hose and insert back into the hole from which it came from. Easy!Hoping it lasts a long time!

It works and the heat is closer to the table. But the tiny wheels are just about useless and it is extremely heavy. Some people, including myself may not be able to handle it by themselves.

This heater is rated high in several review sites that compare similar heaters so I thought I would give it a chance. Reviews here in Amazon noted how hard assemply is. I'm not a mechanic or anything like that. I can use tools and build things but I am in no way a expert mechanic.There are a lot of nuts and bolts, but its all fairly cut and dry. The instructions were appropriate and easy to understand. The nuts and bolts are clearly marked in the packaging and coorespond to the instructions. The gas line from the top of the heater going done the piping was super easy. I'm not sure why ppl have sonkch trouble with it. I slid the line until it comes out and used the Allen key to help pull it out.In all, it may have taken an hour to include unpacking it.It works wonderfully on our dock. On high, its almost too hot. We wanted this for our early morning coffees over the water before work and it doesn't disappoint.I high recommend this gas heater.

The design and instructions are very well done. The ability to raise/lower and swing left/right makes this heater far more functional than our other upright heater on back deck patio, and this is capable of warming all of us around a table. We were surprised to find the product was delivered with a pre-weighted base. Due to weather, we assembled the heater indoors; luckily we had a dolly to get it outside and up the stairs. Its wheels make it otherwise easy to move, but I suggest it be assembled in a location near its destination.
