Portable Instant Car Heater — Episode 2: Faster, Cheaper & Better Controlled
Episode 1 on January 21, 2006 promised more than it delivered.
At least that was the opinion of reader ed who commented, after buying and using it, "Sadly, compared to this heater, my computer would do a better job of heating the car."
Message received and understood.
Just in from out back in the portable car heater skunk works, a new and improved — or so we are led to believe — iteration from Coleman.
Note that the device is pictured from the front above, with a rear view toward the end of the post.

This product produces about 1/10 of the heat you'd get from a standard blow dryer. There's no way it would substitute for a broken car heater unless you live in Panama or Mexico. If you're from Connecticut, like me, you need something better.
