Detroit Radiant DSS Series electric heaters are slim, plug-in style medium wave infrared space heaters with a carbon fiber lamp in a compact black housing. They are rated IP55 for outdoor use, come with or without a remote control, and are approved for outdoor residential use as well as commercial spaces. Pick the voltage, 120 volt with a cord and plug or 230 volt, and whether you want the remote.


What the Detroit Radiant DSS is

The DSS is the small one in the Detroit Radiant electric range: a slim black bar heater about 35 inches long with a carbon fiber lamp behind the grille. It gives medium wave infrared heat, which warms people and furniture directly the way sunshine does, and it starts giving heat within seconds of switching on. Detroit Radiant Products builds it under the Re-Verber-Ray name. Compare it with the larger Detroit Radiant electric heaters or browse every electric patio heater we carry.

Which DSS to pick

Choose the 120 volt model when you want to plug it into an ordinary outdoor outlet; it comes with a cord and plug and gives 1,500 watts. The 230 volt model gives 2,500 watts and comes with a cord but no plug, so an electrician fits the connection. Each is sold with a remote that has a timer and three or four power settings, or without the remote for a lower price. One remote can run several heaters.

Where it goes

The housing is IP55 rated, so rain and dust do not bother it, and it is listed for indoor or outdoor use in homes and businesses. It suits a covered porch, a balcony, a small restaurant patio or a bar entrance. See wall mounted patio heaters for other heaters that hang the same way, or the maker's full Detroit Radiant range.
