Chad's Crappy Corner & His Third December Theme Gadget!

Chad polled our loyal Patreon fans and for December's Cheap Gadget Theme they picked: “Cheap Gadgets to keep you warm”. Chad's third cheap gadget is the Smart Gear 12-Volt Heated Auto Seat Cushion.

Chad got his a Kohls, and this is what they say about it: Enjoy a warm and toasty commute on those extra cold days with this Smart Gear heated auto seat cushion. High and low heat settings for customized comfort. Built-in elastic seat straps and under-seat hooks for a custom fit in any seat. 18"W x 36.5"D. Plugs into any 12-volt DC automobile power socket. Chad paid $12.99.

And Chad's take? Chad said if your car doesn't have heated seats this would be an inexpensive way to have one. But there were a couple of things he didn't like about this device. There isn't an easy way to keep the top of the heated seat from falling or sliding down. And it doesn't look anything like the one in the photo. Also there's no indicator that it's on, so you can easily run down the battery if you left the car and forgot to shut it off. The LED on the plug into the 12 volt lighter socket glows red to show you there's power but it doesn't let you know if the seat heat is on or off. But then again, it was only $12.99. (That price can change at any time.) You'll see and hear his full review in this week's show.
