Endless Summer Triple Dome Patio Heater review

The Endless Summer Triple Dome Patio Heater is a propane patio heater that is stylish and good at throwing out heat to keep you warm. It has been specially designed to reduce the amount of heat that's lost, but it is one of the more expensive patio heaters we reviewed. 

If you want to compare models or find a cheaper alternative, read our guide to the best patio heaters. 

A powerful, heavy-duty freestanding patio heater, the Endless Summer Triple Dome Patio Heater has an innovative design that maximizes the reach of its heat output, making it one of the best patio heaters you can buy. It joins to ranks along with the Bromic Smart-Heat Tungsten Electric Patio Heater and the Hiland Parasol Electric Patio Heater.

The Endless Summer Triple Dome Patio Heater is powered by a 20-pound liquid propane tank (sold separately). It produces up to 40,000 BTU of heat – each BTU (British Thermal Unit) is the energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.

Although cheaper propane patio heaters, such as the Fire Sense Commercial Patio Heater, boast a more powerful heat output of 46,000 BTU or more on paper, the Endless Summer Triple Dome Patio Heater's triple-dome design and ceramic cone insulator directs heat downwards and prevents heat loss, spreading the effect up to an impressive 400 square feet.

Endless Summer Triple Dome Patio Heater review: Price

The Endless Summer Triple Dome Patio Heater is robustly engineered with an innovative, ultra-efficient design, but you do need to pay significantly more than the average cost of a freestanding propane patio heater for the privilege.

Although you can pay up to $739.99 for an Endless Summer Triple Dome Patio Heater, it's worth shopping around different online retailers, such as Walmart or Wayfair, to save money as you may be able to find one for under $700.

Endless Summer Triple Dome review: Features

Constructed from high-quality commercial-grade stainless steel, the Endless Summer Triple Dome Patio Heater is as durable as it is efficient. It's significantly heavier than most freestanding patio heaters, but mobile thanks to its sturdy wheels.

The Endless Summer Triple Dome Patio Heater's innovative triple-dome system gives it a very distinctive look and feel compared to other propane patio heaters, and also helps protect the flame from wind. Inside, the ceramic-cone-lined emitter provides excellent, efficient heat distribution.

The patio heater is lit using a multi-spark igniter (which needs an AA battery, included). For added peace of mind, its built-in safety features exceed industry requirements, and include a safety switch to shut off the unit if it tips over. 

Endless Summer Triple Dome review: User reviews

There are very few user reviews to draw on for the Endless Summer Triple Dome Patio Heater, which makes it difficult to draw general conclusions. Amazon customers give it 3.8 out of 5 stars from 6 reviews, while on Wayfair it receives 4 stars, but from just 2 reviews.

Most of those users agree that the unit is very powerful, and produces an excellent, evenly dispersed heat, which backs up the manufacturer's claims. They also highlight its ease of construction and use.

One user argues that its size and robust 'commercial' appearance could be a potential downside in a domestic context; another shares their experience that while the Endless Summer Triple Dome Patio Heater's effective radius is impressive, the warmth is pushed sideways rather than directly downwards, which can make it less effective when seated underneath.

Should you buy the Endless Summer Triple Dome Patio Heater?

The Endless Summer Triple Dome Patio Heater is an unashamedly high-end patio heater, with top-notch performance to match. It's well designed and robustly built, and will heat a large patio very efficiently.

If you would never consider spending more than $700 on a patio heater, however, there are plenty of good-quality freestanding propane patio heaters for around a third of the price.
