Review: Endless Summer EWTR890SP “Vacation Day” Electric Tabletop Heater

endless-summer-vacation-day-tabletop-heaterOutdoor heaters come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes. You can find fire pits, propane heaters and electric space heater types. Not all work in every environment though. If you live in an apartment building then chances are your apartment rules prevent you from being able to have the cozy open flame of a fire pit.  If you don’t feel like lugging big propane bottles upstairs to keep your heater going then you should look into an electric tabletop heater.

The Endless Summer EWTR890SP ‘Vacation Day” Electric Tabletop Heater is a great choice for the apartment dweller.  All you have to do is set it up on a table plug it in and turn it on and in no time you’ll be enjoying a nice circle of warmth on a crisp cool evening.

One of the excellent safety features  of the Endless Summer “Vacation Day” Electric Tabletop Heater is that it has a tilt switch safety mechanism; this means that if it gets knocked over it will turn itself off, greatly reducing the risk of fire.

There is an 8 foot cord so you won’t have to drag an extension cord outside with you.

The 1200 watt heat bulb casts a circle of heat about twelve feet wide plenty of room to sit around a table and chat.

The heater plugs into a standard wall outlet, no need for special plugs.

What We Like

The strong weather proof construction means that this heater can stay outside all year long.

The 1200 watt bulb pumps out a lot of heat for so small a unit, over 4000 BTU’s.  It’s enough to take the chill off and keep you toasty at the table.

We really liked that there is minimal set up just pull it out of the box and plug it in.

Review: Strathwood St. Thomas Cast Aluminum Round Table with Fire Pit

strathwood-st-thomas-fire-with-round-tableA fire pit is a wonderful place to sit and chat when the weather starts to cool off.   Raised fire pits with a built in table are especially appealing. You don’t have to go through the hassle of digging a hole in your back yard. Instead a table and fire pit is portable and can be put on any decking. Not only do you get a great cozy fire but with the table you have a place to set your drinks and plates.

The Strathwood St. Thomas Cast Aluminum Round Table with Fire Pit is a great combination table. The decorative scroll work in the aluminum tabletop adds a touch of style and class to the unit.

Since the Strathwood table is made out of aluminum it’s much lighter than other units made out of steel. This means you can easily move the fire pit around for cleaning. Another great thing about aluminum is that you don’t have to worry about it rusting out.

The copper fire pit really sets off the black aluminum. It’s a great set of contrasting colors that really catches the eye.

 Things We Like about the Strathwood St Thomas Table with Fire Pit:

  • The fire pit is recessed below the table and comes with a lid that matches the scroll work of the table. The lid serves as a spark catcher as well.
  • This unit is very reasonably priced.  We’ve seen units that cost a lot more but don’t offer nearly the quality and value of the Strathwood St. Thomas cast aluminum table and fire pit.
  • Another thing to keep in mind is  how easy it is to assemble. The directions are clear and you can set it up in just a few short minutes.
