Chad’s Crappy Corner and his 3rd gadgets for his February Cheap Gadget Theme, as picked by our loyal Patreons! They picked: “Cheap versions of expensive gadgets!” On this week’s show, we find out Chad’s 3rd ‘cheap version of an expensive gadget’ is the ION Mug.
First some info via Walmart: Coffee, tea, or any hot beverages are best enjoyed at your own leisure. The ionMug helps you do that by keeping your drinks at the perfect temperature all day from its charging coaster. Once charged, the mug is designed to hold its temperature for up to 3 hours, so no more racing against the heat of your drink and no more turning to the microwave for reheating. With multiple temperatures, an auto shut off feature, a spill-proof warming lid, and more—the ionMug is your go to cup for any hot beverage.
And Chad’s take: Chad like this. As you’ll on this week’s show Chad took the termperature of the coffee in the cup, waited an hour and checked the temperature again. He had the mug set for one of 3 adjustable temperature levels: 135°F, 140°F, or 145°F. Chad had set it for 145F and an hour later the temperature was within 2 degrees of that, which we all thought was pretty good. Chad was a bit disappointed in the capacity of the cup. He explains why in his test video on the show. Chad also wondered about cleaning the mug. All the instructions say is: “the ionMug can easily be cleaned under running water.” Chad paid $39.95 at his local Walmart. It’s way more expensive on Amazon and the reviews there were tepid.
