I have one favour to ask you all. As you will have noticed there is no advertising so I take the full burden of the costs involved in running and producing the content and receive no income in return.

So please could you help me by recommending my blog to your friends. And if you want to throw a bucket of ice water over your head when you have done so, that is entirely optional.

A few of you have sent a small donation which was incredible and appreciated. If you wish to make a donation to my paypal, please use gavinfabl at gmail dot com. Just think of all the coffee I need at 3am whilst writing the next day’s posts 🙂

And finally, have a great day whatever you are planning and keep smiling.

Another Review from the Past – Brando USB Fridge

This review was written in August 2007. I must of had a fascination with usb gadgets back then.

Brando USB Fridge

Welcome to my next review. I really must start by thanking Brando Shopping for sending me another USB product. I must admit I was not sure what to expect when I knew I would be receiving a USB Fridge, but nonetheless I was very excited to open the packaging and connect up my new Fridge to my laptop. And what a beauty. I had a lot of curiosity at work, with my boss even trying to steal my fridge. The fridge comes in a large box packaging to protect it perfectly during transit. The operation is very simple. Plug into a usb port, open the fridge door and place can inside. It is as simple as that.

The main specifications/features are:-

– Cools a beverage from 5V USB Power

– Stylized as a mini fridge

– Holds one can

– Internal LED light

– USB powered

– No batteries required

– Plug and play

– Temperature of cooling pad decreases to 8.5 degrees after 5 mins

– Dimension: 19.4x9x9cm

– Weight: 362g

A cool gadget and highly recommended.

Any questions, please ask. Gavin Fabiani-Laymond
