We bought this heater ~2 years ago, and it worked great! My husband got it out last weekend while we were having wine on the patio (we live in AZ, and it hasn't been that cold)! When we pushed the button to light, we got a flame, but after the "30 second hold time," when we let go, the flame would go out. Per the manual, there are 3 reasons this can happen. We eliminated two of them, the third was to replace the thermocouple. I called the company to find a dealer, since we can clean things, but not fix them. The representative told me that they don't keep a list of dealers, that I should contact anyone who fixes propane heaters. Uhh, Yeah, that's real easy here in AZ! I called our local BBQ store, and they will fix it if I order the part. So, I go to the website, click on "Parts & Accessories," voila, I get "this page no longer exists." Soooo, I email the company, and the best part is that I got a response within 30 minutes. The worst part is they have discontinued this heater, and they no longer have parts for it. So, if you are thinking about getting one - beware that it can't be fixed if it needs any parts.

So far very pleased with this heater. Assembly was very easy. Straight-forward to use. Quality seems good. It runs quiet (esp. at lower settings) - this was a concern as a loudly-hissing propaine device would be a buzz kill on the sylvan deck. Provides a good amount of heat. Goes thru the little canisters of propaine fairly fast, but this was expected (will probably get a bigger tank). Overall happy with this purchase.

Purchased the Uniflame heater last month for use on the small deck of my SF apartment. It's been a joy. Easy to assemble (even for me!), easy to use (with one caveat), and ideal for the small amount of space I want heated. I'm using 1-lb propane tanks, which give me about three hours of use each--but it would be easy for me to switch to a 20-lb tank with the connecting hose they provide. The only caveat (are you listening Uniflame?) is that it can be difficult to tell when the flame is lit, especially during the day. In other words, it's hard to see the flame--and to know for sure that the propane has ignited. Wish there were a light or signal that told you it was.

Do not recommend this unit for heating large spaces. It's small, sits on a table top, is attractive, and throws off a nice six foot radius of heat.
