Yes, for the right buyer. The Mr. Heater 11,000 BTU Table Top Patio Heater ranks #2 in our Best Patio Heaters for Small Patios list. Its biggest strength: adjustable dial lets you scale heat down on milder evenings instead of one fixed setting. The main caveat: lacks the auto-shutoff tilt valve featured on the Fire Sense.
Best if you want to adjust heat output rather than run one fixed setting all night. It stands out for adjustable BTU range lets you dial down heat for warmer evenings instead of running full blast and piezo ignition lights reliably without a separate lighter. Keep in mind that lower ceiling on max BTU than the Fire Sense at full output.
Best pick for adjustable heat output on a table with mixed comfort preferences. What earns it a place here: adjustable dial lets you scale heat down on milder evenings instead of one fixed setting and piezo ignition lights consistently without a separate lighter or match. The tradeoff: lacks the auto-shutoff tilt valve featured on the Fire Sense.
The highlights are adjustable output is unusual at this price point and compact enough to double as a small-patio or table heater. Keep in mind that no auto-shutoff tilt valve.

Running it on a lower setting, when the weather doesn't require full output, stretches that considerably further, sometimes to 14 to 16 hours.
Reasonably well, though like any tall standing heater with an open flame, strong gusts can affect the flame and occasionally trigger the safety shutoff. The wheeled base is a benefit here since it makes it easy to reposition against a wall or windbreak rather than leaving it fully exposed.
