We have a large covered lanai and enjoy eating out at night with family. Our table area eating space is about 20โ-24โ long and everyone is comfortable. It heats on our FL January nights when our few evenings/nights are cold temps down into the 50โs. Would buy again.My husband put it together with ease and I took off the blue covering that so many complain about. I figured out a way to start the peel with a small knife then peeled them off with ease. Took about 20 minutes. We definitely would buy again. We also bought the attachment for heat direction and that works beyond our expectations to keep the area we want warm. We would buy both again.

Works just as advertised, changing the pattern of heat radiation to a cone which is about 270 degrees in width. Note that the heat is so well focused that if the heater is operating at full power, it is hard to approach it to turn it off - it's blazing hot right in front.NOTE: if you buy this, don't buy the cover, because the cover will not fit over your heater with this shield attached.

After tossing a cheaper heater after one year , I found this one and was impressed by the positive reviews. Very accurate. This heater has set up instructions that even I understood. Even tho it took longer than it should, that was my fault. The heater is well built and puts out a lot of heat. Great heater.

It works great when you only have a few people instead of a bunch sitting all around it. We're able to turn it down some and save on the propane.

The EAST OAK Patio Heater Reflector Shield is a great addition to my outdoor heating setup. Its 0.7mm thickened aluminum material ensures durability and effective heat distribution, making my patio much cozier. The adjustable range function helps direct heat where it's needed most, providing both comfort and energy savings.

It works well. Keeps the heat from escaping and more localized to the front. The bottom support rod base is too short and doesn't match the holes on this patio heater from Home Depot. Seems to hold up well for now as this shield isn't that heavy. I tightened the bolt pretty tight to keep it from slipping down.

When using the heater for only two people, the heat shield is a great idea. Saves on propane and directs all hear it the area we want it. Very good quality and has a brace to protect bending the top of the heater when it's windy. The bracelet is a must but does make it more time consuming if you want to take off the shield often.

If you bought your patio/table top heater, this is a must have. I bought both before winter, kept me warm outside but I was huddled extremely close to the heater. The shield redirects the heat beautifully.Assembly was pretty easy. I had my son help me, to get him away from the video games. We used a power drill to speed things up, which is optional. You could, if you wanted to, tightening everything by hand. There are TWO versions of this heat shield. I believe this one I'm reviewing has an extra arm/brace (for the Large Patio Heater) to ensure sturdiness. I'm just guessing which one it is based on the picture. If it is the one with the brace, we haven't put that one together yet. Finally putting the big heater's heat shield up. It's planned for this weekend, along with the reflective cover to keep it from getting weathered.All in all: is a great buy. It redirects your heat and it makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE. $40+/- to stay, not only warm, but toasty, since you bought this shield. Seriously though, I couldn't believe how much of a difference this thing makes - and for a piece of metal. You won't regret this purchase, for sure.Install: Basing it off of the SMALL Tabletop Heater - installation was fairly easy! I'll update once I get the Large Heater Shield installed.Heat Output: These shields are amazing and I don't recommend NOT getting one with the purchase of your heater.Safety Features: not sure what Safety features this thing has. I mean, it's a shield that is metal and it gets hot and you're not suppose to touch it.
