    I can't see the point of these things myself, I mean why try and heat up the outside rather than go indoors :confused: Just my opinion of course.

    lol my point exactly, people wonder about global warming too :D

    Nice price though if your in the market for one, can of course be handy when having a BBQ and its cooling off a little.

    why try and heat up the outside rather than go indoors

    Because you want some fresh air, to smell the lavender, to sit in the hot tub, to carry on cooking on the barbecue ??

    I know people who use them with their hot tub on really cold days. Personally I think the hot/cold difference in temperature is wonderful on a cold day, but if you've got kids they might not like it in freezing temperatures.

    Sometimes it's nicer to be outdoors.
    I would use one most when it's cooling off a little in the summer.

    Do not speak- unless it improves on silence.

    HI all, these heaters are really just 3 bar electric fires on a stand. The slightest wind will blow away any heat they provide. I bought one when Woolworths had them at £49 or buy two get one free and took it back.

    Hope this helps.

    Just the thing for keeping the kids warm in the paddling pool, or your partner in the hot tub, as the sun starts to go down. Gzzzzzg Gzzzzzzzzzzzzg!

    Yeah they (lidl gas model) must have ended. Maybe still have them in store though. They were a table top one with the tube and regulator.
