Is the Amish Heater really a miracle?

The newspaper and magazine ads and television commercials for the "miracle" Amish heater would make you think that this heater is really special. The marketing for this appliance says that the heater is free and that it will also help you reduce your electric bills. Of course the wooden Amish heater cabinet will cost you between $350 to $400 and the heater itself is made in China. The company who distributes these Amish heaters is based in Canton, Ohio.

"Miracle heater" is certainly an attention-grabbing way to describe what is essentially a space heater with a light-powered display of burning logs. I did some research on the Roll-n-Glow and found that there is really nothing miraculous about it.

The Amish heater works like a fan-forced convection heater. The company claims that the Amish heater produces produces either 750 watts or 1500 watts. Not unlike other portable heaters on the market today.
