Makes a drink warm efficiently and at a good price, but is worryingly under-engineered.

ROADKING KETT021607 Immersion Heater | 12v £3.99. (Possibly All Ride part number 871125202160 or close equivalent.) Packaging states: For a quick hot drink in your car or truck. This was the first device that I tested. As it does not need to heat the body of a kettle as well (making the cup warm doesn't feel like so much of a waste) it was able to get me a warm-enough brew in a eight minutes. Hygiene would be a concern, getting this clean enough once it's been used for the next drink of the day. But worse is that the wires were getting hot to the touch and starting to melt/stick to other plastic that they were touching. Also there is nothing to prevent the element getting dry or being incautiously touched, nor is there any overheat protection or even a fuse. I would not let my kids use this, at least not unsupervised. I'm not throwing it away at 20Wh per hand- and heart- warming cuppa if nothing else is available, but not really safe. Spec: 12 Volt cigarette lighter plug attached, 1 metre lead, 25mm (W) x 20mm (D) x 130mm (H), ~130W (as measured).
