Is the AZ Patio Heaters Tall Outdoor Patio Heater worth it?

Yes, for the right buyer. The AZ Patio Heaters Tall Outdoor Patio Heater ranks #1 in our Best Patio Heaters for Large Decks list (top pick). Its biggest strength: 48,000 BTU and a 10 to 15 foot radius cover most single-heater deck layouts on their own. The main caveat: 87 inches tall and visually bulky, not the pick for a smaller or more curated space.

Overview

What the AZ Patio Heaters Tall Outdoor Patio Heater does well

The clearest step up in finish and reliability over budget standing heaters. What earns it a place here: 48,000 BTU and a 10 to 15 foot radius are enough for most single-family patios or decks. The tradeoff: still an open-flame propane heater, requiring real floor clearance.

Best pick if your small patio can still spare a few feet of floor clearance for standing heat. It stands out for warms a genuinely wide radius, more than any tabletop or wall-mount option here and wheeled base makes it easy to push against a wall when not in use to reclaim floor space. Keep in mind that needs a solid 3 to 4 foot circle of clear floor space, which is tight on a small patio.

Buying advice: patio heaters

  1. Propane is portable and powerful. Electric is clean and simple under cover. Natural gas needs a gas line but never needs a tank swap.
  2. Tall propane heaters are often around 40,000 to 48,000 BTUs and warm a circle several feet across. Electric heaters are rated in watts.
  3. Open, windy patios lose heat quickly. Windscreens and sheltered placement help more than a bigger heater.
  4. Look for tip-over shutoff and, for gas heaters, a flame-failure device. Keep clearance from ceilings and walls as the manual specifies.
  5. Never use propane heaters indoors or in enclosed spaces. Electric infrared heaters are the usual choice for covered porches.
