The GOOD:
Mounting brackets while cheap are effective, easy to install and allow slight swiveling of the direction.
Does not put out tons of light, it's very secluded looking per se. Many other models shine bright like the sun, this one does not.
Has 3 heat settings.
Has a remote control.
The BAD:
The remote control is a bit unresponsive at times and very cheaply made.
When the remote doesn't work, there is a button on the unit but it doesn't seem to turn it off?
The cord isn't long so be prepared to connect an industrial extension cord + run the cord either through the ceiling of your patio or across and down the wall to an outlet without it hanging dangerously.
Wind basically kills its effectiveness.
The UNKNOWN:
Life of the unit: I've been using this regularly for almost a month now but making sure I use it in say 15-30 min intervals and turn it off. Hopefully it has a long life when used this way.
Withstanding weather: The heating elements are not fully enclosed within the unit. It's an "open" heating element behind a cage situation. I live in Seattle. So I worry that natural moisture over time may break it, time will tell.
My electric bill: It will be another month of use or so before I see how much power it actually draws/how much it costs in electricity to use the unit within the manner I have.
Hopefully this review helps. I will say lastly that if it does work in your particular area, it's way better than having to fill propane tanks every month to keep a lantern type heater alive.
These heaters are outdoor game changers. They provide just the right amount of warmth, making my backyard and patio so cozy during those chillier nights. Whether I'm enjoying a quiet evening alone or entertaining guests, everyone is comfy and toasty.
What's more, they're perfect for my restaurant as well. On those cooler nights, I can offer my customers a warm, inviting outdoor dining experience. It's been a real crowd-pleaser!
The carbon infrared technology is fantastic. It heats up quickly and maintains a consistent temperature. Plus, it's energy-efficient, so I don't have to worry about sky-high electricity bills.
As for installation, it was a breeze. They're lightweight and the instructions were clear and straightforward. And I must say, their sleek design adds a touch of elegance to any space.
When it comes to value, these heaters are worth every penny. They've transformed my outdoor spaces into year-round venues, enhancing both my personal and business life.
So there you have it, folks! The Dr Infrared Heater DR-238 is a five-star product all the way. If you're looking to extend your outdoor season, I can't recommend them enough. With two in my arsenal, my outdoor spaces have never been warmer or more inviting!

Este quedó excelente en este lugar del desayunador y otro para mi recámara, la cual es grande y te techo muy alto, y aún así la calienta rapidísimo!
El primero llegó con un faltante de piezas y no tuve problema para devolverlo.
Me encanta comprar en Amazon pues nunca tengo problemas para devolver algo.
Espero funcione muy bien por mucho tiempo, cada invierno.
Calienta de inmediato y con su control remoto es muy fácil manejarlo y tiene temporizador
Tiene 3 temperaturas. Lo recomiendo mucho !!

Installation was straightforward if you're somewhat handy and is comfortable with drilling. The included anchors are adequate but it might help to have your own that matches your wall material.
Performance wise I actually didn't find there to be a huge difference between the settings. Running on max feels only slightly warmer but it likely depends on how far you're sitting from it. If you're more than 7-8 feet away or if it's not angled towards you it's not going to do much. It's no propane heater and the heat output is really just enough to keep a small zone around it tolerable on a chilly morning or evening, so don't be expect a miniature sun or anything.
Overall it's a solid product and the build quality feels rugged. For heating a small patio area where 3-4 people are seated it's perfect. Anything larger would likely be better served by a propane heater.

QUALITY. The overall quality feels good right out of the box. It was well packed. Instructions were clear.
INSTALLATION. I installed it myself in about 30 minutes. I'm 67 in moderate health so most people should be able to do it alone. However having a second person would be helpful and faster.
I installed it upside down on purpose as I needed the cord on the left side of the heater. This makes the operation notes upside down but they will peel off. It leaves the small logo upside down but you don't notice. The display is upside down but it really doesn't matter as there are only 3 symbols. L1, L2 and L3. So upside down they look like 17, 27, E7. No problem. Make up some silly code to impress visitors.
OPERATION. It works as described and expected. You can feel the increasing heat of each level. It is instant heat which is great. But the best comparison is still to a fire. You can stand around a campfire and your front is warm but your back is cold. This is the same thing. As long as you recognize that, you can position the heater to project heat where you want it. In my case, in the photograph, I want it on my main reading chair and on my small coffee table especially for morning.
REMOTE. The remote works very well. Simple to use.
EXTENSION CORD. My cord does reach the socket but is hanging as seen in the photo. I've added a 2 foot 12 gauge extension cord bought at a local big box store. About $12. This allows me to run the cord straight across and down so out of the way. Like the yellow line in the photo. I bought a 12 gauge just to be on the safe side for the amount of power being drawn. I suspect a 14 gauge would work and maybe even a 16 gauge. But for the small price difference, I'd rather go with the better cord.
POWER DRAW. I've not had the heater long enough to determine its impact on my heating bill. I suspect it will be minor if for no reason then I only use it when I'm there and then turn it off. I likely won't use it in winter with minus temperatures but on those +8oC winter days, I'll likely use it. People have warned that you can only use that on one plug and I can see that would be the case. However I'm able to use the heater of the highest setting, use both lights on my IKEA lamp (seen in photo) and use a google home device all on that same plug. The LED lights and google home don't draw much power but it does mean I don't have to unplug or not use those items that were already there.
FIRE POTENTIAL. My heater is not far enough down from the wood above as the requirements said. The 2x4 of the roof is only 11' above the heating element. I thought I might have to put a piece of metal in-between. I don't have to. The wood above gets warm to the touch but not really hot even after 3 hours of operation. You can hold the wood all day if you were so inclined. I did try a piece of metal just to see and the metal got far hotter than the wood so took the metal away. I was also afraid of the roof, with is a transparent panel, as it is only another 4" higher but you can't feel any heat on that panel. Also there is no heat on the wood behind the heater. The heater is well designed to thrown the heat outward.
I think this will be perfect for my use. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is that I've only used it so far on cool, early fall days. Once I get through some more seasons then I'll know how efficient it is in providing heat and not at an exorbitant cost. But I am very pleased.
One disappointment: While I'd have preferred a Canadian or American product, I am disappointed to find the heater was made in China. The company says their products are engineered and designed in the USA, but don't announce as clearly where their products are made. Those of us who support our own domestic markets and don't want to support tyranny overseas, need to avoid buying from China and thus giving them the money to full their world agenda. If I knew this before I installed it, I would have sent it back.
