Pros: Hummm, let me think...... I didn´t like it.. so it will be dificult to say something good, let's see it's a beautiful product, good color and it has 2 leds and that's all.


Cons: Doesn´t warm up anything and it's not prepared for 8cm diameter cup, so it doesn't do what it's supposed to do.


Other Thoughts: Not Worth It, buy something else... maybe another USB gadget.................................................................................................................................................................


Bottomline: I like dealextreme, they are fast and cheap and they have a lot of interesting products. (except this usb coffee warmer).


Novelty gift

Pros: - Coffee or tea mugs warmer.
- Good size for regular mugs
- Can get pretty warm if used with external power.
- Can be used as a saucer to keep your desk clean.


Cons: - Not warm enough when connected to computer's USB port.
- Takes some minutes to warm up.


Other Thoughts: It's not so useful when connected to a computer. I tried connecting this to an external USB adapter (sku.25). After five minutes it becomes too hot to touch for more than five seconds.


Bottomline: Nice gift to people who like novelties. Don't give it to someone who expects it to magically warm up their cup of tea.


Geeky USB cup warmer

Pros: Value for money. Plugs in to USB slot, has an on/off switch so no need to pull it out of USB slot when you don't need it on.

Actually gets hot enough that you can't keep your hands on it otherwise you'd burn yourself.

Cons: Doesn't keep my coffee warm enough, as another reviewer has said, it best suits cups with a FLAT bottom. This is very true, my cup has a curved bottom so the contact patch is not much.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: Great value for money. You might need to buy a new cup to make the most of this warmer though.

Pros: Does what it should do.


Cons: * A bit expensive.

* The build quality could be better. It's well made, but from cheap materials. It feels like cheap plastic.

Bottomline: Keeps your coffee warm. It doesn't heat it fast, but it keeps it hot.
