« Meet the Spherificator! Huh? | Main | Chad's Crappy Corner & his new March Theme as voted on by our loyal Patreons. »

A Chad Extra! Chad does a 'not crappy' gadget review.

Chad's Extra is The ReliefHeat Belt. (The company doesn't use a space in the brand name.) First, here's some info via the company: ReliefHeat has an electric heating element that is powered by an internal battery. The product includes a wall charger that you use to charge the battery. The product is designed for waist sizes from 22 - 60 inches. (In 2 different size belts.) How long does the battery last? It depends significantly on the temperature setting that you choose as well as the environmental conditions (air temperature, layers of clothing you are wearing over your ReliefHeat, etc). At the lowest temperature setting (100°F), a fully charged battery will last about three hours, and at the max temperature setting (160°F), the battery will last for about one hour. ReliefHeat is designed for both iPhone and Android. 

And Chad's take: Chad liked this. He did point out that to set it up with your phone out of the box, it has to be plugged into AC power. Then you can use it anywhere, even on a plane where it would be great since you couldn't use other heat pads that require a microwave. Although Chad received this as product sample at CES 2020, he noted it was $99 online with free shipping as 3/6/20. Normal price on website is listed as $119.00.
