Kotatsu (炬燵)
This is a lot easier to understand
Do you know what a "Kotatsu" is?
You can also say: Have you ever heard of a Kotatsu?
（こたつ 炬燵）This is a mechanism that warms the inside with the power of electricitIt is a table that has an electrical heater. The heat is retained by a very thick blanket, so it gets very warm and cozy.
It's not necessary to say （こたつ 炬燵）because you have already introduced it. I would also let everyone know that it uses a blanket to retain the heat.

I love Kotatsu! I have slept many times in one. Many people say you should not sleep in the kotatsu because it will make you sick. But it's too comfortable, so I always fall asleep.

Do you know "Kabout kotatsu"?
A couple of other options:
Do you know what a kotatsu is?
Have you heard about kotatsu?
The quotations marks "" and the capital letter here can be used, it depends a bit on preference. If you use the capital, it seems like a proper noun (a name). If you use the quotation marks, it makes it seem like something someone has said, like:
"Have you heard of a thing called, 'Kotatsu'?" (Nuance: "Somebody told me or I heard about it, do you know what this is?" and the speaker may or may not know the meaning themself.)
（こたつ 炬燵）This is aIt has an electrical mechanism that warmsheats up the inside with the power of electricity.
This sentence is technically fine, but it implies that the 炬燵 IS the mechanism as opposed to HAVING the mechanism.
You could also say something like: "It has an electric heater inside" or "There's an electric heater under the table"
Mechanism sounds a bit technical, like you are concerned with the technical process of how it works. ("This mechanism heats the area beneath the table using electricity.")
Other potential options:
It uses an electric heater to warm up the inside.
It warms itself using an electric heater.
The kotatsu gets nice and toasty using the power of electricity! (colloquial way of saying warm: "Ooh, toasty! :) " ) (This sentence sounds like someone is trying to make kotatsu sound appealing or interesting)

That would definitely make it hard to go outside to brave the snow! I wonder how many designs there are for kotatsu. I always think of the one with flowers from the game Neko Atsume with the kitties all cuddled around it. :) Really good job, keep up the good work!

You would say/write it this way because you are talking about an object. If the subject is a person that sentence would be fine.
