Real World Performance and Day to Day Use
Planika Faro is a portable patio heater and outdoor gas fireplace that can be assembled in a few minutes, then connected to a gas cylinder for use. It uses Propane or LP gas cylinders and is described as having 8 kW output, with heat felt from 20 cm to 120 cm from the unit depending on location and weather conditions.
The main buyer worry is usually whether an outdoor heater will be practical to use and easy to handle. Faro addresses that with wheels, an inside bottle compartment, a gas regulator, and a design that can be moved around a terrace more easily than a fixed outdoor fireplace.

Skip this if you want a heater that does not rely on a gas cylinder.
