USB LED Beverage Cooler Review

Keep your beverage cool while you’re AFK.

I was very excited to finally receive this little USB cooler today. It took less than a week to travel from their offices on the east coast to over here in Oregon. I ran up and plugged it into my computer so that I could test it out to its fullest potential. Now, I’m not going to say that this was the best item I’ve purchased from ThinkGeek.com because it has its fair share of problems.

Don’t get me wrong, this product is very magnificent and stylish. It is very easy to install (just plug it in) and it provides an excellent cooling system that feels cool to the touch almost immediately; however, there were some key things that were missing from it that should have been added. These include:

• No On/Off switch - I guess this isn’t the worst problem in the world, but it would be nice to be able to turn it off while I’m not using it without having to resort to unplugging it.
• It isn’t tall enough - The cooler only fits 12oz cans. It’d be really nice if I could fit a Rockstar or Amp into it.
• The USB cord is short - This isn’t a problem for me, but I’d imagine for those who wish to put it more than 4 feet away from their computer, it would be.

But hey, for 15 dollars, I can easily overlook those issues.

I suggest you head on over to ThinkGeek.com and get one for yourself. I have a Sprite cooling in mine right now. :-)
