World-famous Amish built fireplace heater advertisements have shown up in a variety of magazines and newspapers. They tout a low-cost energy-efficient heater that is superior to other heaters. It is priced at $249 or so.

Consumer Reports.org performed an analysis of “Amish Heater”  and found that it is costly for what it represents. The heater is also made in China.

“You’ll find many less expensive but high-performing convection and radiant space heaters that will do a good job in a small space.

Our heater represents a fireplace rather than just some space heater.”
