Would you guys buy this terrace heater?
Why infrared? Apparently infrared doesn't heat the space, but the next object/person blocking the waves.
Why am I not 100% convinced? The company is really small, like few hundred Instagram followers, almost no Facebook followers, website looks amateurish.

The reviews on bol.com are pretty good though.

Alternative would be buying this one:

However it's 60 euros more expensive, and has no review. The website does look more professional though.

Come to think of it, they look like they're the same hardware pretty much..

That looks like exactly the same hardware... Some Chinese knockoff? Or just one factory pumping out the same item, and sold under different labels?

Anyway, I don't have much experience with terrace heaters... My parents used to have this really big gas-powered one, but even that was only effective for a very limited range.
