Electric standing infrared patio heater TARGUS TB2068S-01, 2000 W, 3 power levels, IP45, for up to 20 m²

The TARGUS TB2068S-01 is a 2000 W electric standing infrared patio heater designed to provide targeted warmth for small to medium outdoor living spaces and sheltered terraces. With a three-stage power selection and a compact upright design in black finish, this heater is intended for indoor and sheltered outdoor use and is rated IP45 for protection against dust and water splashes. The unit delivers infrared heat that warms people and objects directly rather than heating air, making it suitable for areas up to approximately 20 m².

Advantages

The heater offers three selectable power levels that allow adjusting heat output to current needs, improving energy management. Its 2000 W maximum power provides quick, focused warmth while the infrared heating principle reduces heat loss to the surrounding air. The IP45 protection rating ensures resistance to dust and water splashes, which supports safe use in sheltered outdoor environments. The standing form factor and black finish enable unobtrusive placement on patios or terraces and facilitate repositioning as required.

Suitable for

• Heating sheltered outdoor patios, terraces or balconies up to 20 m²
• Supplementary heating for conservatories and covered outdoor dining areas
• Spot heating for small commercial outdoor seating areas
• Temporary indoor use in well-ventilated rooms where additional infrared warmth is needed

How to use

Position the heater on a stable, level surface away from flammable materials and with sufficient clearance around the unit. Connect to a properly rated electrical outlet and select the required power level to achieve the desired comfort. Allow a short warm-up period for infrared elements to reach operating temperature. For sheltered outdoor use, protect the unit from direct heavy rain and prolonged exposure to wind when possible. Follow any additional safety instructions provided in the manufacturer’s manual regarding minimum clearances and electrical requirements.

Usage recommendations

Use the lowest power setting that provides adequate comfort to optimize energy use. For outdoor seating areas, place the heater to direct infrared radiation toward occupants rather than open space to maximize efficiency. Regularly inspect the unit for signs of wear or damage and ensure the surrounding area remains clear of obstructions and combustible materials.
