I know the timing isn’t quite right with an Australian summer fast bearing down on us, but for next winter, keep the Chillchaser Poseidon outdoor heater in mind (should it go on sale in Australia).
Yes, it’s a tall, striking looking appliance, IPX5 weatherproof, available in orange, green and silver, pumping out 1350W or 2700W, via carbon fibre heating elements.
But it also has an in-built multimedia player, with speakers, allowing to plug in a USB stick and play video and music. Or plug in an iPod or multimedia player via the Poseidon’s 3.5 mm speaker jack.
