You have probably seen those commercials on TV for the Amish Fireplace. So what is the story? It’s really pretty simple. The Amish Fireplace is basically an electric space heater that looks like a wood-burning hearth. So, if you’d like the look and warmth of a fireplace, but can’t have one in your home for cost or to other reasons, then you might want to consider this option. If you are looking for one of these, you should know that the official name is The Heat Surge Roll-n-Glow Electric Fireplace, which is a mouthful.

So, here’s the low down on Amish Fireplaces. You can get them in four finishes, either Cherry, Oak, white or black. While the cabinets are indeed build by the Amish in Ohio, the electric heating element is manufactured in China. If you have seen the commercials you will have noticed that the cabinets are made to look like a fireplace, include a simulated fire. Some additional options include a bookshelf and mirror.
