What shoppers are saying

Although the heater has received mixed reviews from many Amazon Canada shoppers, those who have been impressed with the Simple Deluxe Standing Heater as a way to extend the life of their outdoor areas in cool weather.

“All my friends are jealous,” reads one review. “We sit on the patio with two of these hanging above keeping us warm. Perfect on cool nights enjoying company in a COVID responsible way.”

“After researching over several weeks, I am glad to have chosen this patio heater. It is sturdy and provides appropriate heat to a table of four for the fall and spring seasons,” reads another.

Since the radiant heat only results in so much heat, shoppers have noted that these heat lamps will only provide so much relief from very cold temperatures.

“I’ve tested it at minus 15 Celsius and I still feel the heat, but don’t expect it to warm you up (it was fine in 5 Celsius temps). Yes, it is very “red” at night but that doesn’t bother us or our neighbours from what I have heard. For the price I think this is a very solid unit,” shared one reviewer.

The verdict

As a way to add a little extra heat to your patio or balcony, the portable Simple Deluxe Standing Heater is a convenient option that you may want to consider this season. Since it’s also safe for use indoors, it’s a versatile addition to any home.
