USB Powered Portable Electric Heater
Posted by: Sierra Monica B. in Gadgets
This USB-powered gadget from Thanko was created to heat your food at up to 60 degrees.
It looks like a soft carrying pouch but as soon as you connect it to any of your free USB ports on your computer it starts to warm your food until you stop it.
The portable electric heater measures 140 x 200 mm and is made of alumite, polystyrene foam for thermal insulation and adds a heater. Also there is a 125-cm USB cable.
I don’t know much about the quality of the USB-powered portable electric heater, but the provider offers it with a short warranty of just 6 months, and after translating the Japanese page of the product in English I read something about a warning stating that you don’t have to use it with your laptop computer, but just your desktop so…there are too many question marks.
Anyway, the gadget sells at just $22, after the conversion from Japanese Yen, at the time of writing.
