This clever rechargeable hand warmer will help you stay warm in winter
Now that the bitterly cold winter weather has arrived, we're doing everything we can to stay warm outside - including investing in a good pair of hand warmers. We've spotted a high-tech option that we think are well worth investing in this year and it comes in the form of the HotPal Rechargeable Hand Warmer.
Why you may be used to disposable single-use hand warmers, which work when oxygen in the air reacts with the iron in the hand warmer to heat. If you're after a better and reusable solution, this clever gadget is definitely worth knowing about.
Better yet, it's currently on sale with a 44% discount, reduced from £33.99 to £18. Plus, there are no less than 5,000 five-starr reviews, here's why we think it's worth a spot in your shopping basket this winter.
This hand warmer has three heat settings, can provide up to eight hours of warmth and also doubles up as a phone charger. Genius? We think so.
Why we rate it
This reusable, rechargeable hand warmer is perfect for keeping you warm on early morning dog walks, your commute to work, when playing golf, or simply for keeping your hands toasty while at home.
It's double-sided for extra warmth, heats up in three seconds at the click of a button and has a slip-resistant coating so you can firmly hold it.
One shopper even said that it's like "walking around with a hot water bottle", while another added that it's a "superb addition to my life".
There's three heating options ranging between 35°C and 55°C - and on a full charge it will stay warm for up to eight hours.
Customers say that a full charge takes roughly three hours and that after being fully charged it does in fact last eight hours when on the lowest temperature setting.
It also doubles up as a 5200mAh portable power bank, so you can also use it to charge an iPhone or Android, making it perfect for travel too. The gadget has a USB C charger built in (which is the same as the latest iPhone models) and also comes with a micro USB adapter too for older devices.
What the reviews say
Unsurprisingly it's a hit among Amazon shoppers, with many rating the easy to use design, powerful warmth and versatility. Over 79% of the 7,000 total reviews are five-stars, which is no easy feat.
One customer described the heat output as "remarkable", with many saying it's also "great value for money".
Several shoppers recommend it as an "easy and reliable way" to keep hands warm, while one happy customer said they have now bought "at least 8" and keep them in various places.
Quite a few people also say that they now "never leave home without it in the winter months".
