For those seeking to extend their outdoor enjoyment into cooler evenings or seasons, the Outsunny Electric Parasol Heater offers immediate, targeted warmth directly under your patio umbrella. Its infrared quartz heating efficiently warms people and objects within a broad 9-10m² range, though optimal performance is achieved in sheltered conditions, as strong winds can dissipate heat. This guide provides essential information for effective setup, usage, and care to maximize your comfort.
Infrared Quartz Technology: Delivers instant, efficient heat by warming objects and people directly, rather than just the surrounding air, making it effective even in slightly breezy conditions.
Broad Coverage (9-10m²): Designed to provide substantial warmth across a significant area beneath your parasol when all three heating elements are active.
Three Adjustable Heat Settings (650W, 1300W, 2000W): Allows you to easily customize the intensity of warmth to suit varying temperatures and personal comfort preferences.
Independently Adjustable Blades (0-90° Vertical Angle): Each heating blade can be individually angled to direct heat precisely where it's needed, optimizing personal warmth.
Parasol Mount Design: Engineered for simple and secure attachment to the central pole of most standard patio umbrellas, integrating seamlessly with existing outdoor furniture.
Durable Construction: Features an aluminum cover that provides stability and enhanced safety during operation.
Instant Warmth: Infrared heating provides immediate heat, eliminating warm-up time.
Targeted Heating: Warms people and objects directly, reducing heat loss to the environment.
Adjustable Comfort: Multiple heat settings and adjustable blades allow for personalized warmth.
Space-Saving Design: Mounts directly onto your parasol, saving valuable floor space.
Extends Outdoor Season: Enables comfortable use of patios and gardens during cooler weather.
Simple Installation: Easily attaches to most patio umbrella poles.
Requires Electrical Outlet: Needs a nearby 220V-240V power source, limiting placement flexibility.
Wind-Sensitive: While infrared is efficient, strong winds can still reduce perceived warmth.
Parasol Dependent: Primarily designed for use under a patio umbrella; not a standalone heating solution.
Limited Portability: Once mounted, it's not designed for frequent relocation.

The Outsunny Electric Parasol Heater utilizes advanced infrared quartz technology, meaning it emits radiant heat that warms you directly, similar to how the sun feels. This is more efficient than convection heaters that warm the air, especially outdoors. With its 2000W maximum output, it's capable of making a noticeable difference in comfort under a patio umbrella.
Coverage: The heater can effectively warm an area of 9-10m² when all three 650W halogen lamps are active, ideal for a standard dining or seating area under a large parasol.
Adjusting Heat: Utilize the three heat settings (650W, 1300W, 2000W) based on the ambient temperature. For a slight chill, 650W might suffice, while 2000W is perfect for colder evenings.
Directing Heat: The individual 0-90° adjustable blades are crucial. Angle them downwards and towards seated guests to maximize direct warmth. For example, if you have people sitting on one side of a table, you can direct two blades towards them and one slightly further out.
Evening Dining: Keeps dinner guests comfortable on cool summer or autumn evenings.
Early Morning Coffee: Enjoy your patio earlier in the day when there's a crisp chill in the air.
Relaxing Outdoors: Extends the usability of your outdoor lounge area well into the night or shoulder seasons.
Remember that while effective, this is an outdoor heater. In open, windy conditions, the heat will dissipate more quickly. It performs best in a relatively sheltered outdoor space.
Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
Mounting Position: Identify the central pole of your patio umbrella. The heater is designed to clamp onto this pole.
Attach Heater: Open the clamping mechanism on the heater. Position it around the parasol pole at a suitable height (ensuring sufficient clearance from the umbrella canopy and people). Securely tighten the clamp until the heater is stable and level.
Adjust Blades: Angle the individual heating blades to your desired vertical positions (0-90°).
Power Connection: Plug the 180cm power cord into a suitable 220V-240V outdoor-rated electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet has proper grounding and protection.
Parasol Type: Compatible with most standard patio umbrellas with a central pole that can accommodate the clamping mechanism. Ensure the umbrella pole is strong enough to support the heater's 3.5kg weight.
Electrical: Requires a standard 220V-240V electrical supply. Do not attempt to use with other voltage systems.
Cleaning: Ensure the heater is switched off, unplugged, and completely cool before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the aluminum and plastic surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the heater in water.
Storage: When not in use for extended periods or during harsh weather (heavy rain, snow, strong winds), it is recommended to detach the heater and store it in a dry, sheltered location to prolong its lifespan.
Inspection: Periodically check the power cord for any signs of damage. If damaged, discontinue use immediately and contact customer service.
Safety: Always operate the heater under the protection of a parasol or other overhead covering. The product description implies an aluminum safety cover, but it is not explicitly rated as fully waterproof; thus, shelter is important for longevity and safety.
