Portable Mini Refrigerator Electric Summer Drink Cooler Kettle Drink Instant Quick Cooling Cup Home Office Cold Drink Machine Small Appliance Kettle (Traditional)

I bough this to keep a can of soda cool through the day, and it does exactly that! There were some complaints about the fan noise, and those are valid. If you have a super quiet office, you'll definitely hear and notice it. I didn't find it bad at all though. Compared to the laptop fan of my computer, it was much quieter. Also does hot to keep your coffee hot through the day. Works fine although finding a cup that fits in the metal part is hard. You can put the coffee right in the metal part and it works fine, although can be hot to the touch since metal is very conductive. I prefer to just use a thermos for hot drinks. If I did hot drinks often and wanted to use this, I'd shop around for a mug the size/shape of a 12 oz soda can. One thing to be aware of: If making a drink cold, you need to use plastic cover that comes with it. This is needed to keep the hot air produced by the chiller from rising and warming your drink! This plastic cover is important for the efficiency and efficacy of the chiller. I liked it so much I bought a second one for my desk at home. If you need a gift idea, I would bet this would make an awesome gift for the Diet Coke drinker in your life who works at a desk.

I was initially very excited as I prefer my drinks to be COLD. I followed all of the directions and even bought a beefier power supply to avoid overheating. The noise was comparable to a 12v computer fan. This sucker really gets cold! However, without having a direct contact with the removable metal cup, it won't cool the drink very well. The instructions suggest filling the metal cup with water, but that just created a wet mess anytime I tried to drink. The only other alternative this highly analytical person could devise was using some sort of cold-conducting gel that wouldn't cause a mess, but I quickly realized I was going overboard for an item that just wasn't worth the effort. Great idea in theory, but the execution is rather poor.

Part of my reason for purchasing this is their specifications of "silent machine" It is NOT silent, in fact, it has a fan and is rather noisy and would be heard on my web calls. It is cold and did keep my water cold, however the aluminum container is too small and will not fit some of my water bottles.

Recently I found myself wondering: is there a better way to keep a drink cool in the summer months than by watering it down with melting ice? You can use whiskey stones or similar re-usable ice-cube-replacements, but surely there must be something more 21st-century out there? And there is! In fact, we've had the technology for it since 1834, in the form of a Peltier cooler which uses electric current to produce a temperature gradient with no moving parts or liquids involved. In practical terms: you hit the capacitive touch button on the front of this thing, and the metal plate in the depression on top becomes quite cold, quite quickly. Pour your pre-cooled drink into the provided aluminum cup and place it on top, and it'll stay chilly. I've seen some reviews bemoaning the fact that it doesn't really cool down a room-temperature drink very well, but that's not this thing's fault; thermodynamics is just stacked against us when it comes to cooling things down versus heating them up, unfortunately. While this won't cool a warm drink down, it'll keep an already-cold drink nice and frosty, and that's really all I need. My one minor complaint with this thing is the capacitive touch button on the front; it's both too sensitive and not sensitive enough by turns. Sometimes it takes a few finger pokes to get the device to turn on or off, and conversely sometimes I'll turn it on while just moving it around my desk, with my finger not especially near the button. This hasn't caused any real problems for me, however, and doesn't affect the operation, so I can easily live with it. All in all I'm quite happy with my purchase, and look forward to many cool drinks on hot days with this futuristic-feeling gadget on my desk.

I read a lot of these other reviews before buying, and I saw complaints about it not getting all that cold, or the fan being too loud. I don't see these problems. It gets plenty cold enough, and the fan is quiet. As this is obviously a product built in a certain country, the manufacture may be inconsistent, but I must have gotten a good one. The touch control is neat, but is a little too easy to accidentally turn off and on. The device is kinda bulky, taking up about twice the diameter on your desk as the bottle or can you're cooling. Not a big deal and I didn't knock any stars off for it. The only thing I really didn't like was that it tells you to put a little water inside if you're cooling a bottle or can. I understand, it's to help thermal coupling with the drink and it makes sense. Competing products do the same. It just leads to dripping cold water on yourself when you take a drink. Edit: I underestimated how easy it is to activate the touch control. You just have to get near it. Actual contact is not required. That is way too sensitive.

I've been using this thing for like 4 months, 4-5 days a week, and for 4+ hours a day to keep my sodas cool, and it hasn't missed a beat. The fan isn't actually that loud, and my coworkers are less than 4' away from it. It does a decent job of keeping a full can of coke cool, and usually the bottom half of the can is COOLER than it was when I got it out of the fridge in the breakroom. It does struggle with a full bottle of coke, where the temp display starts to climb a degree or 2, but it does a respectable enough job.

This unit is relatively quiet and definitely keeps your drinks very cold as long as your using the stainless steel metal cup that comes with the unit. You can of course put a can of soft drink in the unit but it may not cool as fast as you want. I use it about 12+ hours a day and not issues yet. Only issue is unit stopped working after 6 months. Vendor did some troubleshooting and sent me a new unit. This vendor stands behind it's product.

Waited about 1 month to receive it. It did not work upon receipt.

I am super pleased with this "cup-glass" cooler. It will even freeze the water at the bottom of the cup if you do not drink from it for a couple of hours! Although juice's and alcoholic drinks will not freeze this will keep them very cold. No need to dilute your drinks with ice...

Doesn't work great. Pass on this one. Neat to see this technology used but it just doesn't work well enough for this application.
