Pros
- Tripod puts the heat at head height anywhere a cord reaches
- Shuts off if the stand tips over, which matters on a busy deck
- Also wall mounts, so it can become a fixed heater later
- IP55 housing shrugs off rain
Cons
- Costs about twice the wall mount DR-238 for the same 1,500 W element
- The maker store is out of stock, so Amazon is the only seller
- No safety listing is named for this model
