The Livington Handy Heater

[davemurgtroyd]

Anyone know where you can buy the Livington Chop Star or very similar - useful in a small kitchen without having to find room for a chopping board? Mefiashop do not seem to list it any longer on their site and none on ebay or Amazon

Problem solved - found some on ebay Germany - one on the way

These "things" have been hawked around on the internet & video shopping channels for years - often with many "very negative" comments, and frankly they look pretty damned dangerous to me - 500W claimed dissipation in a box about twice the size of a wall wart USB charger (the latter are generally rated 5V 2.1A max output = 10.5W)! .

Anyway, how the hell you would expect 500W (if it is really even that!) to heat a room that is probably below local ambient to start with is beyond me as you'd need at least 3000W, and preferably a lot more, to result in ANY significant rise in that temperature!

The Orbis now, not even a remote control, so the lucky owner can burn their hands trying to turn it off.

£49.99 per radiator, bargain !

It probably won't set fire to the house but add one more (has British Gas all over it, check the footage)

Since it costs an alleged 1p per hour (per unit) I assume it requires battery continuous charging, a licence. or both.

If only it had a foil undercoat that slipped down the back of the radiator and could be extended, just somehow into the room ........

BBC news on the ball as usual.

'Cool in 90 seconds' - the fake portable air conditioners sweeping the internet

The ASA says adverts claiming small devices can rapidly cool rooms were too good to be true.

It must be three months since the online adverts sttarted.

If they are claiming 1p per hour (per unit) it might turn out to be 1p per 1 cubic centimeter of warm or cool air per hour...
