jaykrownThese outdoor heaters are stupid and a waste of electricity
Those particular ones might be a waste of energy, but outdoor heaters like that in general are great for in front of hotels, and in the vestibule for doormen at clubs or valets
And usually they are infrared so you’re only heating people, not concrete.
They are there to stop ice from forming on the walkway of the entrance. There are more for safety than heating.
