We've been following the claims of the heavily advertised Heat Surge Roll-N-Glow Electric Fireplace (commonly called the Amish heater), and tomorrow we'll publish a review on this blog. You can flame or acclaim this "miracle" heater and other models of space heaters in a "fireside chat" discussion on electric fireplaces and space heaters, including the EdenPure space heater.

Owners of the NuWave Infrared Cooking System are posting some positive reviews on this recent blog post. Share your experiences with this appliance and check back for the results of our test of the NuWave in the May 2009 issue of Consumer Reports, online in April.

Slow cookers also have their fans. Read our recent report on slow cookers and join the simmering debate on the best models in our small-appliances forum.
