Rank #4 in Best Patio Heater 2026: 10 UK Models Ranked by What They Actually Heat
REALGLOW Real Flame Outdoor Pyramid Patio Heater 13kW, Black
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Real Flame is a 13kW propane pyramid heater with the flame visible through a glass tube, three heat settings, a pedestal base sized for a 13kg bottle and a hose and 27mm regulator in the box. The listing says it is compatible with Calor Patio Gas, BP Gas Light and Flogas leisure cylinders.
This is the listing to read twice. The title says 13KW and the specification table in the same advert says the heat output is 1,500 watts — a difference of nearly nine times, published by the seller, on one page. The brand field says GASDEPOT while the title says REALGLOW. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing, and from the reviews left on it, rather than our own testing.
How those 194 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.2 stars.
