Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The DONYER POWER is a hanging halogen patio heater: a 42cm disc weighing 2kg with 800W and 2000W settings, supplied with a chain adjustable up to about a metre. The listing recommends hanging it at 70.9 inches, high enough to clear children and pets, and says the element reaches full warmth in three seconds.
The useful number here is not the one the listing publishes. Its coverage claim is 65 square feet, about six square metres, while buyers describe keeping six people warm under a 3m by 3m deck over a rainy Bank Holiday weekend — nine square metres, outdoors, in the cold. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing and from reviews left on it, not from our own testing.
