Heater Hustlers from Canton again: HEAT SURGE Roll-n-Glow Fireplace

  Well, it's the silly season. My local paper just ran a full-page ad
for the HEAT SURGE Roll-n-Glow Fireplace. It is an electric heater
disguised as a fireplace ("fireless flame") and sold wrapped in a
"real Amish fireplace mantel". Wow!

"The HEAT SURGE miracle heater is a work of engineering genius from
the China coast so advanced, you simply plug it into any standard wall
outlet". They don't say where on the coast. Maybe it's near the Canton
in China (Guangzhou)? The upper right corner of the ad says it comes
from Heat Surge LLC located in the other town named Canton, in Ohio.
(Canton, Ohio is also where the heavily advertised EdenPURE heater is
sold from, although it also is made in China).

Or, look at the website at: http://www.heatsurge.com

What a pile of horsecrap! These clowns should be horsewhipped, since
they are probably going to make a pile of money by swindling the
gullible and elderly.

"It uses less energy than it takes to run a coffee maker. Yet it
produces an amazing 5,119 BTU's."
Well, guess what? 5119 BTU/hr converts to exactly 1499 watts, and it
always will.

That's right folks, it's just another lousy little 1500 watt portable
electric heater with a fan, like you can buy anywhere for $25. They
will sell it to you for only $298 (or for $249 each if you buy a pair
of them)! No wonder they can afford to give you for free a gen-u-ine
oak or cherry Amish mantle.

The HEAT SURGE just is another example of the "boom box" or (for old-
timers) "console radio" marketing fallacy that a bigger cabinet and a
higher price OBVIOUSLY means that you are getting a better product.

    Wow !  That's fucking AMAZING  !  An electric appliance that
all you have to do is plug it in to any standard wall outlet and it
works !  Who'd a thunk ?  Damn I wish I was smart like that ....

No vents.
No chimney.
No tools.
No gas lines.
No wood, no ashes, no mess, no hassle.

These are GOOD QUALITIES to have in an electric appliance !


    Damn, look at all those Amish folks !  I wonder when the Amish
changed their policies and religion to allow the women to work in the
wood-working shop with the men ????  Unless maybe those are
Chinese-Amish, and they do things different ....


    And your common 'Mr Coffee' uses 1,000 watts or less.  Of
course, you CAN find a coffee maker that uses 1,500 watts, if you want
the high-dollar heavy duty shit ....


    $ 587 in cherry, on the website.  Wadda deal !
