Does Anyone Know If The Amish Fireplace Mantle Is Legit?
I’m thinking of buying the amish fireplace mantle I see so advertised in the infomercials and sunday paper…has anyone bought one or know of someone and can verify if it’s legit or a rip off? Supposedly heats the room well, and doesn’t run up the electric bill…thanks for your feedback!!

The Amish only build the wooden mantles. A group of Beachy Amish in Ohio are subcontracted to build them by the company that markets the product. The Amish have nothing to do with the sale or marketing of the the finished product. The people in the printed and TV ads are actors, not actual Amish.
The electric heater itself is built in China. An electric heater from Wal-Mart at probably 25% the cost will do just as good a job.

I have actually e mailed them about thier commercial..They say solid wood..but it is solid plywood veneer..and not pressed board..but still isn’t a solid piece..also in the background in the commercial..you see about 3 or 4 air hoses behind an awning moving about fiercly where they are constructing them with air guns/tools..so much for thier handmade theory..I asked these questions specifically on my e mail and did get an answer..The replyer mentioned that some Amish communities and by laws allow them to use modern tools and power etc..possibly they do..but I have always thought they dd everything hand powered…The way I see it..is the way they do thier commercials..they are done legally legitimately in a sense..but but not done the way they would you like to believe they are..I say a little bit of trickery going on here, so now ..I doubt if they heat like they say they do and as efficient…

Fake – the Amish do not allow their picture to be taken.
If the photo is fake, what chance is there that the other claims are true.

Any 110 volt heater that can heat a whole room is eating up electric. I notice they don’t specify the Wattage of the heater.
