Some spots just need a bit of targeted warmth, not a heater for the whole yard. The small 1500W Rinnai Outdoor Radiant Heater is made exactly for that: park it above the BBQ so the cook isn't left shivering, or over a favourite seat, and it lays down a cosy blanket of radiant heat right where people actually are.

Radiant heat is what makes it work outdoors. Rather than trying to warm the open air, it heats people and surfaces directly, which is why it's such a cost-effective way to keep a well-used corner comfortable. And it's built like a Rinnai should be for our conditions, with class-leading IP65 protection against dust and rain, and corrosion-resistant materials chosen to keep it looking sharp after years outside.

Where it shines:

• Great for the frequently-used spots like above a BBQ or a seated area, and just as at home in covered alfresco areas, balconies, courtyards, poolside, the shed or the garage
• Mounts on the ceiling or wall, at a recommended height of 2100mm to 3000mm off the floor
• Runs from the remote or your phone, with Wi-Fi control from any Wi-Fi-enabled mobile device
• Tells you at a glance whether it's on, via a simple light indicator

The numbers, for the record: 1500W max rated power, 240V 50Hz, a 10-amp three-pin plug and a 1000mm power lead. The body measures 1045mm long, 177mm wide and 60mm high, and weighs 5.5kg. Model ORH15WF, backed by Rinnai's 3 year domestic warranty.
