Choosing a patio heater for your outdoor space
Start with the heater's dimensions and maximum output. When positioning a heater, we recommend checking its full operating height against your intended location. The Lifestyle Santorini is 1840mm high in use and 1260mm high for storage. Its diameter is 523mm. The Capri is taller at 2250mm, with an 815mm diameter and a broad heat reflector. These measurements give you specific dimensions to compare before choosing either model.
The range has seven gas heaters across four model groups. Capri has stainless steel, black and garden green versions, each with a 12.5kW maximum output. Santorini has a metallic gunmetal body and an 11kW maximum output. Enders NOVA LED Flame has medium and large versions, both rated at 2.5kW maximum. Enders Elegance ECO has an 8kW maximum output.
