Bought the car heater for my husband on a whim. He has used it more than anything else I have given him in years.

Is it a good gift?
+
Yes, that is what it is built for. Made for anyone who parks outside in winter: the early commuter, the nurse on the night shift, the parent doing the school run in the dark. Bought most often for a car where the heater takes forever, and for trucks, vans and older cars.

Frost on the windshield every morning since November. This clears the glass in front of me while the car warms up. No more scraping in the dark.
Scraping ice in the dark is how most winter mornings start
The 12V Portable Car Heater sits on the dashboard and blows warm air straight at the glass through two outlets. Flip the switch and it starts warming within minutes, so the windshield begins to clear while the engine is still catching up.
The housing is metal, it can sit loose or be mounted in place, and it is light enough to pick up and point at a side window or a mirror. Clamps, the power clips and aluminum foil tubes for directing the air are in the box.
How it works with the 12V Portable Car Heater
Four steps. Nothing complicated.
Step 1.
Place it on the dashboard facing the windshield, or mount it with the bracket.
Step 2.
Connect it to the vehicle's 12V power with the included clips.
Step 3.
Flip the switch on top. Warm air starts flowing within minutes.
Result.
The glass clears in front of you while the engine warms up.

What actually makes a good car heater
Three things decide whether a dashboard heater gets used every morning or goes back in the box.
The air has to go where you need it. Two outlets point straight at the windshield, and the foil tubes let you direct the flow.
It has to stay put. The bracket lets you fix it in place so it does not slide around on the dash.
It has to be simple. One switch. On when you get in, off when the glass is clear.
It stays in the car all winter
This one goes on the dashboard in November and stays there until the frost is gone in spring. Every cold morning it does the same small job: a clear windshield a little sooner, and a little less time standing outside with a scraper.

Does exactly what it says. Took it out of the box, read the card once and used it the same day.

My dad is 72 and still insists on doing everything himself. This makes it a lot easier for him, and a lot less stressful for me.

The heater, mounting clamps, a positive clip, a negative clip, aluminum foil tubes and an accessories bag.
