I bought this patio heater for my porch at the start of winter. here in the PNW. I was very impressed with the design and ease of use. It was a cinch to put together out of the box. It is the fastest-lighting patio heater I have ever used. No issues whatsoever to light like many units on the market. It literally lit after the first push of the ignition button the first time out! Very satisfied and happy
