Power source is 12V from cigarette lighter socket.
The power source for using this drink holder is a cigarette lighter socket.12V power supplyis. It was originally sold as a drink holder that can be used in cars, so it is now a cigarette lighter socket.
You can use it on your desk using the method described below, but please note that it may not work properly unless you use an AC adapter that can output 12V.
If you keep your drinks in your car, it may be exposed to sunlight and the drinks can easily heat up or cool down, so you can use it in your car as a countermeasure.
If you want to use it on your desk, you need to convert it to USB.
The original power cable is a cigarette lighter socket, which makes it inconvenient to use at a desk. To use it at your desk, you will need a cable to convert the cigarette lighter socket into a USB cable.
You will need to purchase it separately from the main unit, so you will need to spend a little more money, but you can purchase it for less than 1,000 yen.
Purchase a converter cable to use at your desk and keep your drinks cold or hot while you work or play games. There's no need to keep putting it in and out of the fridge to cool it down. Since you don't need to add ice, you don't have to worry about the ice melting and the taste becoming diluted.

Can be cooled or heated
This drink holder not only cools down lukewarm drinks, but also warms up cold drinks.
It can be used both when you want to drink cold drinks in the summer and when you want to drink hot coffee in the winter, so you can use it in all seasons.
Switching between modes is easy with a switch.
Keep it at around 15℃ for cold storage, and around 45℃ for warm storage.
In cold mode, the temperature of your drink will be kept at around 15℃. In the keep warm mode, it will keep the temperature around 45℃.
I think the temperature will vary depending on whether you put it in a plastic bottle or a can. Also, this temperature may not always be reached as it varies depending on the temperature inside the room or car.
When in cold mode, it cools down to the point where condensation forms and water droplets come out. It's not too noisy, but the cooling fan spins to dissipate heat.
If you carelessly touch the inside of the holder or spill the drink inside the holder while it is in keep warm mode, you may get burned, so be careful about safety.
Compatible with containers up to 7.5cm in diameter
One thing to note about this drink holder is that it can only hold drinks up to 7.5cm in diameter.
The size of a 500ml plastic bottle is perfect. I think most drinks will fit in a 500ml plastic bottle, but if it's larger than that, it won't fit, so be careful.
Also, it only supports round-shaped drinks, and drinks such as square paper cartons will not fit.
Impressions after actually using it
I use it at home and am glad I bought it. Basically, I don't drink hot drinks, so I don't use the keep warm mode, only the keep cool mode.
It is mainly used to cool canned drinks such as Red Bull and plastic bottled drinks such as tea. If the temperature in the room is high, it won't cool you down enough, but it will cool you down enough.
It takes a while to cool down
I think it depends on the temperature of the room, but you should expect it to take several hours or even 1-2 hours to cool down properly. I didn't time it, but it feels like it took about that long.
Of course, the lower the room temperature, the easier it will be to cool down. Also, I think drinks cool more easily when they are in cans because the temperature is transferred more easily.
Shaking it occasionally may help it cool down faster.
This is my personal opinion, but I feel that if you shake the drink you want to chill from time to time, the cold and lukewarm parts of the drink will mix together, making it cool faster.
Since it is physically cooled from the outside of the container, it seems that the closer you go to the center, the harder it is to cool down. If you drink it while it is cooling down, it may feel cold and lukewarm at times.
I think it's a good idea to shake it once in a while to get rid of that unpleasant feeling.
The price is approximately 5,000 yen
The price of this drink holder itself is approximately 5,000 yen. Even if you purchase the cable mentioned above, it will only cost you about 6,000 yen.
If you don't think the price is high, please try this product!
