USB Chillder and Warmer

Now you can chill that Pepsi (no Coke vs Pepsi war please) and heat that Starbucks, both with the same USB gadget.

  • External power source is NOT required
  • Warmer: 10 minutes 29 degrees increase
  • Cooler: 10 minutes 13 degrees decrease
  • Cable length: 98cm (38.6in)
  • Heating pad diameter: 65mm (2.6in)
  • Dimension: 13.8 x 8.9 x 3.4cm (5.4 x 3.5 x 1.3in)
  • Weight: 420g (14.8oz)

Priced at just US$24, it makes this a much better choice than the US$40 chiller-only option that was mentioned some time ago. I think I’m gonna get one right now! Product page.

    heyall,
    The guy who sits next to me at work has this and i can tell you it doesnt cool anything.. except maybe coffee.. it doesnt actually chill though. it has a heater and heats things well enough. but its cooling method involves simply blowing room temperature air over a heatsink.. quite simply put if you put something cold on this and try to “cool” it it will actually accelerate its warming towards room temperature.
