Coming in an easy-to-pack box, the aforementioned 5 adapter plugs will play nice in Europe, South America, Africa, Australia, Asia, Middle East and the Caribbean. It will play nice with electrical appliances that require up to 1600 watt and electronic devices up to 50 watts, anything more than that and you can forget about it.

| The Explorer Cordless Frozen Concoction Maker – Takes the Party Anywhere Posted: 25 Jul 2012 06:07 AM PDT
Nothing says beach day like a fabulous frozen Pina Colada, you know the kind, topped with a cherry and one of those cool little paper umbrellas. There’s nothing like laying out near the beautiful blue ocean, sunglasses on, and a frosty beverage by your side, but unless you’re staying at some fancy resort, sometimes getting one of those festive libations in your hand is a little more difficult than it sounds, I mean where the heck are you going to plug in a blender at the beach? Well fret no longer my little party animals, and check out the Explorer Frozen Concoction maker, the rechargeable, “take me anywhere” blender that lets you take the action to places a frozen daiquiri has never been before. Close your eyes and imagine your next camping trip, you by the fire and the whirr of the blender as you whip up a few Margaritas for the gang. (if anything could make camping more tolerable it’s a Margarita) Better yet, imagine who will be the coolest bartender at your next tailgate party. The Explorer’s powerful blending and shaving motors are capable of doling out up to 80 frozen drinks on a single charge, and with its pre-programmed drink settings and front access controls this baby can shave and blend 36 ounces of your chosen frozen delicacy at a time, and that should certainly be enough for you, and a few of your closest friends. The Explorer comes in a rugged design with oversize controls and a graphite finish with lovely mango colored accents, it comes with a charging base and rechargeable 18v battery pack. The pitcher and top are dishwasher safe, although theres no word yet on a cordless dishwasher, but of course we’ll keep you posted. So let the party begin, and get your Explorer at amazon.com for around 399 bucks. Cheers.

Yes sir, you can relive the days of Jonah with the Chumbuddy Sleeping Bag by snuggling deep into the belly of the beast. After all, you sleep best when your feet are warm and your head remains cool, and this is exactly what the 7 feet long Chumbuddy Sleeping Bag does – it protects you right up to your neck, and is more than capable of swallowing adults fully – children are definitely not a challenge! The inner lining is made out of a blend of Poly/Cotton, while the fill material is Polyester Fiber. [ Chumbuddy Sleeping Bag copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

Now, necessity is the mother of all invention, but there is no stopping someone who wants to update an existing device – as cyclist Steve Boehmke realized that the Serenity tire is fairly difficult to install, and will only be able to fit to a very specific sized rim. He managed to turn the tables around by building wheelsets with the tires pre-mounted, so that there will no longer be any hassle for you to install them on your bicycle when the time comes. Just a refresher – the Serenity tire is made out from a microcellular tube which will fit into a specially designed tire casing. It will ride as though it were an ordinary bike tire, with approximately 60 pounds of pressure, and that is more or less the equivalent to a mountain bike or city bike. As the tire has no air, it will not have any rolling resistance from air loss. Tipping the scales at approximately 1,400 grams (3 lb) a pair and boasting a reflective sidewall so that you will have some semblance of visibility during low light conditions, the tires are also said to be able to handle more shock absorption compared to the standard issue tube tires, where they are rated for approximately 3,000 miles (4,828 km) of wear. Boehmke has, as many an entrepreneur has done, turned his attention to Kickstarter in order to raise the necessary funds to achieve his dream. Right now, there is still a week or so left to go, and his project has already raised $1,678 of its $1,000 goal. Good luck to Boehmke! [ Serenity tire gets modified copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

| Sweet dreams are made of these – the Cocoagraph Posted: 25 Jul 2012 05:00 AM PDT
After getting snapped up for $1 billion by Facebook for taking over the world by storm, Instagram is a program that allows people to snap photos and upload them nearly immediately, while throwing on some sort of image filter to give the captured photo a retro look. I guess regardless how popular Instagram is, the reach of chocolate is far further, and when you merge two and two together, what you get is a potentially explosive partnership that shows synergy working at its best. Cocoagraph wants Americans to be able to give what they deem to be the perfect present, a chance to eat one's very own favorite memories, and this is done through the printing of Instagram photos straight onto the confectionery. You will find that these specially printed chocolates will come in the classic vintage sepia tones of Instagram, where over at the Cocoagraph website, you are able to upload your photo, throw in some borders of your choice, and if you absolutely have a cracker of a line to include, throw in your fair share of custom messages. Based in Philadelphia, Cocoagraph delivers artisan chocolate bars printed with edible Polaroid-style photographs. They do not come cheap though, where a solitary bar will set you back at $8.50, while if you decide to settle for a trio of smaller chocolates, they will retail for $12. Memories that you can keep forever? Not quite, but they're absolutely delicious! [ Sweet dreams are made of these – the Cocoagraph copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

Those who are well traveled would know that different countries do have their own set of road rules, language and customs amidst a myriad of differences from the world that you are so familiar with back home, and this would also include the kind of power outlets that they carry. Well, since we tend to tote around a slew of gizmos these days, getting the right kind of adapter is often left at the end of our shopping list, that we sometimes forget to get one even at the airport itself. Never go through such moments again with the 
Everyone should have watched "Jaws" at least once in their lifetime – and if you haven't done so already, what the heck are you still doing reading this article? Go ahead and rent or purchase the movie from somewhere – online, retail, I do not care! It is truly a masterpiece, and you will know why I asked you to watch it before reading about the 
Do you love cycling? Casual cyclists might not experience a flat tire throughout their entire lives, but things are very different for professional cyclists. Just ask any of the riders in this year's Tour de France – to be on the receiving end of a flat tire after one hits a tack or nail on the road is extremely frustrating, as it results not only in delays, but of more concern, it is absolutely dangerous in certain situations. In 2011, Hutchison introduced its airless Serenity tire to the world that is touted to be 100% flat-proof.
There must be a very good reason that the euphemism "sweet memories" are thought up of – they leave a pleasant, long lasting smile on your face that you do not mind reliving those moments over and over again. Well, how about turning "sweet memories" into something that is literal? This is where Cocoagraph as a company comes in – it is said to be able to transform your collection of favorite Instagram pictures into blocks of yummy chocolate. Yes sir, chocolate, the ancient aphrodisiac (as claimed by some quarters) and the stuff that most kids love, will now be able to feature your favorite memories on them – before you gobble them up as dessert after a family reunion dinner, of course.| You are subscribed to email updates from Coolest Gadgets To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
