42 bux shipped at mfg. website for newer model using 6 aa batts, and not with heating option. Peltier effect thermoelectric. COOLDevice

It's $19.95 elsewhere on the web. Wonder if it works.

Oh, wow. Honestly, I think this thing is a great deal. I have used mine VERY infrequently -- probably a grand total of an hour -- but the 4 AA batteries haven't needed to be replaced.

A few notes:

--Mine works great, but the plastic is super cheap. The battery compartment feels like it's going to break at a moment's notice. Fortunately the batteries stay wedged in tightly.
--The blue metal disc shown in the picture is what gets cold (or hot). You're not supposed to apply it directly to your skin, I think, but I still do in the summer.
--The metal disc gets COLD. Almost like an ice cube. The main reason I use mine is during power outages in the summer when you have no A/C. It's nearly impossible to sleep in the heat. So I flick this thing on and alternate it on my wrists/forehead for about 30 seconds each and I really do cool off within a few minutes. Enough to fall asleep. But falling asleep with this thing ON your forehead would probably be insty-frostbite, so beware.

But really, the product itself can't be faulted. It's almost completely silent. It's worth six bucks for sure.

I got one of these as part of a mystery box couple of years ago. My experience was different from that of the previous poster. While it does noticeably cool and warm up, I would definitely not compare it to an ice cube. Using a contact thermometer, the device never got much below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and that's in an air conditioned environment. It will quickly "lose its cool" when you hold it up against your warm skin, or even if you take it outside in the heat.

As always, YMMV. I'd say it's worth the price as a novelty, and maybe yours will work better than mine did.

In for 2 as well. I can see where these could be very useful especially since we had a power outage last year that lasted 4 days.
I also don't see how you could beat the price which is always a nice extra.

Funny to see that in the description

Why can I only order one? I could use 2 of them because I have 2 kids. I know they would get a kick out of them!

Pretty cool! Sorry, bad joke. I'm in!

I also got one of these from the ancient 2 year ago MB. I liked mine quite a bit. I would not say that mine ever attained complete ice cold temps, but definitely chilly, and definitely helpful. The fantastic thing about it was that it was chill on demand and relatively quickly too. I am prpne to migraines so this was life saving at those times they'd hit when I didn't have access to the regular ice packs. I did not have issues with battery life, BUT I did end up tossing mine, because it was damaged irrevocably one day. As another poster mentioned the plastic is thin and CHEAP. Mine cracked and split in several places. So--I recommend this,but I also recommend you be careful of it for this reason. Sit on it at the right angle and it's likely to bust in key weak points like the head joints. Really the only thing that drove me nuts about mine, was the flimsy battery cover. Mine had a tendency to pop off. BUT despite all that, I think I'm going in for two of these now.

When you click on "Fling me One" we reserve the item quantity for that order for about 20 minutes.

If for any reason the order fails it takes approximately 20 minutes for the quantity reserved to be available for you again.

Whenever something like this happens you have two options; you can either wait 20 minutes and try again or you can go into the "My Flings" page and cancel the "in Progress" order before trying again.

For your convenience i already checked and your "in Progress" order has been reset.
