1.0 out of 5 stars Does not operate as advertised., December 9, 2010

Although the concept is awesome, the follow-up operation fails to meet expectations in a dramatic way. Not only does the unit not heat up enough to start the melting process of the accumulated ice/frost, the scraping end itself is not durable enough to clear the windows.
We live in north central Alabama, so cold mornings are nothing new to us. It is not uncommon for us to have to scrape the windows every morning, sometimes removing a thin layer of frost, other times having to deal with a fairly thick layer. I found that this product wasn't helpful in either instance.
In the time that it takes the element to heat up enough to be remotely effective, your car defroster has had ample time to start clearing the windows from the inside.
I tried timing the heating element, giving it 1, 3, 5 then 7 minutes to heat up prior to attempting to use it, to no avail.
The vendor that I purchased it from issued me a prompt refund, in full. I was very pleased with their service & would eagerly shop with them again.

I bought the heated ice scraper for my wife and sons. In South dakota and Wisconsin they are handy tools. A good thuing to own for anyone in cold climates.

Over priced and far less efficient than scrapers I've owned in the past. Takes forever to heat up and then still doesn't scrape well
