Huh.  I thought Amish people generally shunned electricity and technology…Of course, I did find this on Home Shopping Network.

UPDATE: this looks to be a scam.  It is basically a 1,500W space heater that costs $400 and had numerous consumer complains.  Not that I originally suggested anyone buy this in the first place, but this looks pretty damming:  http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2009/02/amish_heaters.html

    The Amish don’t have electricity. This was a scheme by a heater company to intro their product to the market. Basically, they promise to give away free heaters, but then make you purchase the wooden frame, which is supposedly made by the Amish.
