Gtech's HeatWave Patio Heater is currently on sale for a bargain price and people have been praising it, with one saying, 'bought to heat my patio area on cooler nights, and it did not disappoint'
A patio heater
Spring has finally sprung, and with the sun gracing the UK skies once again, people are eager to soak up as much outdoor time as possible before the darker days return. While basking in the daylight with a hot cuppa or a glass of wine is generally enjoyable during this season, there's a common gripe that often crops up as the day wears on: "It's getting a bit chilly, shall we head inside?".
However, there are products designed to keep you cosy as the temperature drops. While patio heaters can often be quite expensive, customers have been lauding a reasonably priced product from Gtech.
The HeatWave Patio Heater is currently available at a discounted price, reduced from £149.99 to just £39.99. It boasts an impressive average rating of 4.6 stars out of 5 from nearly 500 reviews to date. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here

According to Gtech, the device can heat up to six metres "in seconds", making it suitable for most standard patio seating areas. The heater utilises infrared technology, which is said to mimic the warmth of the sun, while also emitting a glow to enhance the ambience as the sun sets, reports the Mirror.

The heater is designed for wall mounting or affixing to a solid structure, and it boasts a compact design that doesn't require bulky gas bottles unlike some conventional patio heaters. Gtech assures potential buyers of its cost efficiency, claiming the device has "low" electricity usage.
They note: "They use a lower wattage than traditional patio heaters, and are much more efficient as less heat is lost. Silently and discreetly, they convert almost 100% of the electricity they use into usable heat."
For those seeking robust heating solutions, Dunelm offers the Amber Outdoor Pedestal Heater with Remote Control. Though the £399 price tag may seem steep, it can warm an area of up to 25m2.
Matching the Gtech's price bracket, Amazon carries the Harrier Standing Outdoor Patio Heater, which features a stand. At £39.99, it reigns as the online behemoth's top seller in the category of patio heaters.
One customer who purchased Gtech's product shared their satisfaction, stating: "Instant heat, stylish, lightweight and compact. Bought to heat my patio area on cooler nights, and it did not disappoint. Also got it at a discounted price, so I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever."
Another added their positive experience: "Thought I would try it before fitting it to it designated place. Wow it didn't disappoint and it looks good and gives off a really good heat."
A third reviewer raved: "Really happy with this garden heater. So easy to use and install. Wasn't expecting it to produce the amount of heat for the size of the product. The heat is instant and you can feel it from quite a few feet away. The price was reduced to £39. 99 with free p+p so got myself a bargain."
However, amidst the glowing reviews, a couple of issues were raised. One customer noted: "Patio heater gives off a decent amount of heat, the only problem, which is quite a big problem, is the length of the power cord, giving limited mounting options."

Rachel Reeves makes winter fuel payment vow to pensioners after major U-turn
Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirmed that millions of pensioners would have the winter fuel allowance restored this year after the Government bowed to pressure to ditch the cut Rachel Reeves has offered millions of pensioners a cast-iron guarantee that they'll get the winter fuel allowance for the rest of this Parliament. All OAPs in England and Wales with an income of less than £35,000 a year will be eligible for the lifeline payment this winter after a massive Government U-turn. It means 7.5 million pensioners - who lost out on payments of up to £300 - will see the benefit restored, taking total recipients to around 9 million. Asked to give a cast-iron guarantee that the change would be in place for the rest of this Parliament, the Chancellor told the Mirror: "Yes, it will be." The decision to strip around 10 million pensioners of the winter fuel allowance last year triggered a huge backlash and has been blamed for Labour's flagging poll ratings. Keir Starmer bowed to pressure last month and said the Government would expand eligibility but older people were left in the dark on the details. READ MORE: Major winter fuel payment U-turn revealed as MILLIONS to get up to £300 payment Today, the Chancellor said the Government had listened to concerns and would restore the winter fuel allowance to around three quarters of OAPs. The payments will be restored automatically to all pensioners but it will be clawed back by the taxman from around 2 million older people whose income exceeds £35,000-a-year. Speaking to the Mirror at Castlehaven Horticulture Hub in north London, Ms Reeves said she had to take difficult decisions last year to fix the economic mess left by the Tories but added: "We are in a different position now". Asked if the winter fuel cut was a mistake, she said: "I had to make a number of difficult decisions last year. We inherited as a government a £22billion black hole in the public finances." Ms Reeves added: "Because of those decisions, because of the fiscal rules this Government has set out, our public finances are in a much better place." But she refused to set out how the £1.25billion move would be funded until the Budget in the Autumn. The Treasury said it would still save £450million compared to when the winter fuel payment was paid to all pensioners. It comes ahead of Wednesday's Spending Review, where Ms Reeves is expected to unveil the funding allocations for vital public services like the NHS, schools and defence over the next three years. She hit back at criticism over looming cuts to public services, insisting she is not an "austerity Chancellor". Ms Reeves said: "No, far from it. Under our plans we are going to be spending £303billion more, that's the envelope I set at the Budget last year and again at the Spring Statement. "That's £190billion more in day-to-day spending, £113billion on capital investment. Real terms increases in budgets every single year of this Parliament. That's possible because of the decisions we've made on tax and also the decisions we've made to change the fiscal rules to prioritise investment because as a government we're choosing investment over decline and we're also choosing stability over chaos." A shake-up of borrowing rules will allow her to splash £113billion on big ticket items like homes, transport and energy projects. And last week, Ms Reeves said she would tweak Treasury rules to allow her to pour billions of pounds into big projects outside of London and the South East. The winter fuel U-turn was welcomed by campaigners, who said it would offer a lifeline to struggling pensioners. But economists questioned how it would be paid for. Paul Johnson, of the Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank, said tax hikes or further cuts could be needed to plug the gap. He said: "The corollary of 'this will not lead to permanent additional borrowing' is that it will lead to permanent additional taxes (or just possibly permanent cuts to other bits of welfare)." No10 insisted the Government's manifesto commitment to not raise VAT, income tax, or National Insurance remained in place. "It will be for the Chancellor to set out how this is funded at the Budget", the Prime Minister's official spokesman said. Dennis Reed, director of pensioners campaign group Silver Voices, said it was "fantastic news for older people in the UK". He added: "The most important aspect of the U-turn is that the payment will be sent automatically to all pensioners, without the need to put in a claim, making sure it will reach everyone who struggled last winter." Caroline Abrahams, Charity Director at Age UK, said today is "a good day for older people". She said: "The decision to restore the Winter Fuel Payment to 9 million pensioners - all but those on the highest incomes who should be able to pay their heating bills without it - is the right thing to do and something that will bring some much-needed reassurance for older people and their families." Simon Francis, coordinator of the End Fuel Poverty Coalition, said: "Finally the Chancellor has seen sense. Axing the Winter Fuel Payment for so many pensioners was a cruel cut to make." He called for a full investment in the Warm Home Plans to improve energy costs, adding: "While the changes will provide some relief to these households, there will still be pensioners unable to afford the high cost of energy and living in cold damp homes." Independent Age Chief Executive Joanna Elson hailed the news but said it would not end pensioner poverty. She added: "Around 2 million older people still live in poverty, and measures must be taken to ensure the long-term financial security of all people in later life. There needs to be a cross-party consensus on the adequate income needed in later life to avoid financial hardship."
