Drivers in Birmingham facing icy mornings have found a quick and affordable solution on Amazon. A compact 12V car heater and defroster kit is being hailed as the perfect gadget to rapidly clear frozen windscreens.
An Affordable Solution for Icy Mornings
The gadget, which plugs directly into a vehicle's cigarette lighter socket, requires no installation. It has seen its price reduced in a limited-time deal from £25.99 to just £18.99. For Amazon Prime members, it can arrive as soon as the next day.
Designed for year-round use, the device can switch between emitting hot and cold air. Its compact size means it can be stored in the glove box and is compatible with all 12V cars, trucks, and SUVs.
Shoppers Praise Speed and Convenience
Reviews from Amazon customers highlight its effectiveness, particularly for those whose in-car heating systems have failed. One shopper explained it was a cost-effective alternative to expensive repairs for an older vehicle, stating it connects directly to the power output and attaches to the dashboard.
Others specifically praised its defrosting capabilities. One five-star reviewer called it "easy to use" and noted it "helps to defrost the car very well", which was their primary concern.
An Alternative for Personal Warmth
For motorists more focused on keeping themselves warm than de-icing windows, the article also mentions another product. Debenhams is offering a Heated Cushion Luxury Car Seat Heater, reduced from £53.99 to £26.99. This attaches to the seat and back to provide warmth.
One reviewer of this item described it as a "game changer during the cold mornings", appreciating its fast heat-up time and useful defroster feature. However, some users noted its heat output was less powerful than expected, a trade-off for its compact design.
With snow affecting Birmingham and freezing temperatures set to continue, these gadgets offer drivers practical ways to tackle winter weather challenges quickly and without breaking the bank.
