Which one should you buy?

The Maxkon 2000W Carbon Fibre Strip Heater (STAR2000) is our best overall for a covered patio because its listing states IP55 protection, carbon-fibre heating and an adjustable wall bracket for directional warmth. At the 5 October 2026 check it was in stock on Amazon Australia, sold by AUSWAY, with Sydney delivery quoted as 13 to 14 October. The runner-up is the Lenoxx 2000W Free-Standing Patio Heater, a freestanding quartz pole heater with 4.0 stars from 185 ratings, and the budget pick is the Goldair 2400W 3-Bar Radiant Heater, sold by Amazon AU with a two-year warranty.
