Apparently Amish craftsmen are skilled with stapleguns.

Cured copper, eh??

Many of the 1-star reviews say it quite well, esp. one long one on the
edenpure.
The 4,5 star reviews just prove that many Merkins can have a treebranch
shoved up their asses, and delusionally think they're in a doctor's office,
getting a colonoscopy.
No, it is in fact a treebranch.....

These things are flying off the shelves at Costco et al. *What a shame. *An
amazing shame, but still a shame.

Another example of Innovative Marketing, where the SOS is now priced 10 to
100x the price of the original product, be it vitamins, appliances, or
hardware.

HD has heaters for 19.95, as does Target et al. *Dish heaters, about $50,
that have a low wattage setting, can be esp. efficient, by localizing heat.
