Why this patio heater earns its place
The Capri does the one thing a patio heater is bought for — it keeps people outside for longer — and dresses it in a stainless steel cylinder that doesn't look like an afterthought bolted onto the terrace. The double emitter is built to perform all evening rather than fading after an hour, and the classic stainless steel housing sits comfortably in a modern courtyard or a more traditional beer garden alike.
The practical thinking is in the base. The cylinder houses a hinged door with a storage compartment built in, so the gas bottle disappears out of sight instead of sitting exposed next to the seating. Wheels are fitted to the base too, so repositioning it as the sun moves — or wheeling it under cover at closing — doesn't need two members of staff and a trolley.
Safety is treated as seriously as the heat output. A Flame Failure Device cuts the gas supply if oxygen levels around the burner drop too low, or if the unit is knocked over, and a tilt switch backs that up directly. Standing 2250mm tall on an 815mm diameter base and weighing 14.5kg, it's a substantial, stable piece of kit rather than a lightweight stand that catches the wind — and it carries a 1 year warranty.
