AI Thread Summary
The Heat Surge "Amish-made" fireplace, marketed as a decorative electric heater, claims to save on heating costs while providing comfort. However, it is essentially a 1500-watt electric heater encased in a costly cabinet, with prices reaching up to $587, while similar heaters can be found for under $15. Critics argue that the marketing is misleading, as the product does not offer unique heating capabilities compared to standard electric heaters. The targeted consumer base appears to be the elderly or those seeking decorative heating solutions, but many believe the high price does not justify the benefits. Overall, while the product may serve as a stylish addition to a room, it is not an economical choice for heating.

My neighbor has two of these "Amish Fireplaces". Last night she mentioned that the plugs were hot to the touch. I went over to her house to check them. One plug had melted to the outlet and the other showed melting damage. Previous posts have mentioned that these are rated for using only a few hours at a time, yet people plug them into outlets and leave them on all winter.
