There’s nothing yuckier than drinking lukewarm coffee or tea. I like mine piping hot but sometimes that’s hard to achieve when you’re on the road. So, in comes the fully programmable thermal auto mug. This sleek and stainless steel 16 oz mug with integrated heating element and insulated interior construction is powered by your car’s lighter adaptor. It is safe and convenient to use with an automatic shut-off function. It comes with a sure-grip handle, safety sip lid and a non-skid bottom. You can preset temperatures and it has an easy-to read digital LCD display for you to monitor the temperature and it also alerts you when your desired temperature is reached.

I have always been curious about one of these things. Being the somewhat germaphobic person that I am, the XJ-800 Car Air Purifier sounds like a dream come true! This air purifier uses 3 stainless steel needle points to produce a high concentration of negative ions to reduce airborne pollutants and odors including allergen, cigarette smoke, bacteria, etc.

The XJ-800 also works as an air freshener with six fragrances to choose from – Vanilla, Apple, Pine, Forest, Lavender and No Scent. Since it only uses 3W of electricity, the XJ-800 will not drain your vehicle battery. The XJ-800 is also virtually silent. All you hear is just a very soft “hissing” sound.  

The XJ-800 is compact and fits virtually anywhere, thus, making it extremely portable. I really like the sleek and modern design. You can just put it on the dashboard of your vehicle. Or, you can also purchase a separate A/C adapter that allows you to plug the XJ-800 into any wall outlet in your home or office making the XJ-800 an air purifier and air freshener for a small space of up to 50 sq. ft.  

Have you ever wondered how car commercials create those great commercials of the cars driving down long and winding roads? Well, check out this nifty little gadget. It’s called a Sticky Pod. It mounts on your car with strong industrial cups. Then you can strap your video camera to it. You can make some videos with this gadget.
