 one shiver one thousand here today we're sitting in the old truck because we're gonna be trying out these travel mugs by sharper image and see if they're any good and see if they do what they say they will do so let's get into them already opened open them up and I'll tell you why here in a minute so hang tight guys we bought these here a while back at what's it called the at the Goodwill store in Crystal River monkey got these she got them because there's two there's she got them one for her mom and one for her for like if when they if they have to leave in the morning and go to a doctor or whatever they can have take their hot coffee with them excuse me so that's why I'm out here in the truck we're gonna see if this stays hot like it should I got some boiling water over here in a teacup we're gonna fill two of them up and we're going to check the temperature we're gonna plug one in and we're gonna leave one unplugged and see if there's a difference in them I'll read this to you here in a minute because I want to get this plugged in the reason why I had to open it was there are two identical cups now they feel nice okay now these are sharper image like I said she she said she didn't give no more than ten bucks for him and online eBay $12.45 cents there's similar ones on McCurry for $15 sharper image on Amazon for the for these exact ones or 40 bucks or $39.99 right there on Amazon and these are brand new the Goodwill that's in Crystal River they have a section of all new stuff that's never been opened it's not just came out of somebody's closet or something I mean they're brand it's brand new products there's another one on McCurry for $21 so okay now we're gonna get these out now I'm in the truck now the thing about these guys is that when you up when you open that up they feel nice they do feel nice they're 14 ounces when you open it up inside is your power cord like this truck this is 2003 Toyota Tacoma when you shut there's a cigarette lighter and there's two power banks down here I don't know why but when you shut the key off they all shut off even the power banks so if your car does that keep that in mind that if if you're gonna go somewhere and it says you can put soup and knees and stuff if you're gonna go somewhere like that remember if you're you know if it does it shut off you know when you shut the key off like this one does now our Chevy Traverse 2011 it it does not or it does not shut off so what we're gonna do I'm gonna go ahead and get one of these ready here's your plug just the standard 12 volt thing there and truck just cut out it's running I don't know if you can hear it vibrating I don't see a light but right here in the handle that's where you plug it in at you plug it in just like that okay now I got me a tea kettle here I don't know if you can see the steam coming out of it oh I'm sure you saw that whoops and I just dripped that on my phone that's awesome and what I've got so I've got my I know it's not science but and I've got it on the open setting to where it just measures temperature it's like that this is going to be in Fahrenheit we'll see how hot it is there should be around it's been a couple minutes since I took it off the stove so it should be around 200 degrees I brought it to a boil which is 212 degrees that's in Fahrenheit so we're looking at okay we're looking at 186 degrees I'm just if I pull it out here real quick okay see how quick it's dropping let me tell you how much it is in in Celsius there's a switch inside of here I can flip over to Celsius now let's check it and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pull it like I said plug one and I'm gonna leave the truck run and I'm gonna leave one unplugged and we're gonna check the temperature see what the difference is it's 84 degrees Celsius okay which is 183 degrees so it's dropping pretty quick it's 183 degrees Fahrenheit so a monkey message in me okay and now I'm gonna go ahead this is the one we're gonna plug in here so what I did was I used this I used one cup and I filled filled up a cup dumped it in there filled up another one and dumped it in there okay so we're gonna put this lid on it's got a it's got a lid on it that you can open up I should have showed you that before okay now we're gonna plug this in okay there is a red light I'll show that to you here in a minute there's a red light on it and I'm gonna put this down in here then we'll check the temperature on these things again okay now I'm gonna put one in here we're not gonna plug this one in okay just about perfect like I was gonna say I wanted to use the same exact amount and the same cup that way people didn't say well you know different cups acts act differently and stuff like that right I understand that that's why I'm using same cup for both and I'll show this to you here in a minute then we'll check the temperatures here I'll show you I know the truck's dirty guys it is a work truck okay see the light is on down here that red light right there we've got a plugged into there if I plug those do work but they will shut off as well which I thought a 12 12 volt power bank's not supposed to do that but in this one it does and some vehicles they will shut off when you turn the key off okay and then so this is the one that's plugged in here this is the one that's not plugged in so let's get the lids off here and we'll check the temperature okay I gotta gotta do some work on this thing and I'm gonna start on it soon here hopefully before Christmas maybe after but here this winter I'm gonna try to get that spark plug that got cross threaded we think her dad did that it's an aluminum head so hopefully the plug won't break off if anything hopefully I can at least get it to strip out and get that plug out of there I got to replace the the valve cover gasket is is leaking on it it is starting to when I when I pulled number two coil out it's got oil on the bottom of the coil I'll show you all that it's got oil on the bottom of the boot so that means it's leaking so we're gonna replace that and like I said I'll just go ahead and use my use my tool that we used on the boat motor and what we'll do is we'll just put one of them inserts in it okay so we're gonna start with the one that's plugged in it's on it's on 87 degrees Fahrenheit that way we'll get an idea of if it keeps it warm I don't think it's supposed to heat stuff up I don't think you can put cold water in here and have heat up so okay we're looking at 168 degrees let me pull it up here for you real quick because this cools off fast 168 degrees now I'm gonna put the lid on try to be as quick as I can here I know it's not it's not scientific but I mean you know why do you need to be so scientific about something like this when you can you know just you can taste it but I like the idea I'll read like I said I'll tell you on the box it says you can put soup in here and it'll keep it warm but my guess is that like it's it's a travel mug so like if you're on a long trip you can keep your coffee hot chocolate tea whatever hot and one and you can have soup in the other and you know you're on a four-hour trip you can stop you can be drinking your hot hot coffee or what not and when you stop you can eat your you can eat your hot soup so that's a great idea if it works now this one 159 degrees okay so let's go ahead and put the lid on this it says here okay travel mug two pack gift one or keep both stainless steel lined mugs auto utility jacks plug in the 12 volt DC adapters for convenient power so like if you've got one of them what they call jackeries or something to that effect one of those things you take camping or something you can plug this into that but you know I myself drink cold stuff camping so if you know what I mean but you could use it for that heated keep coffee cocoa or soup hot for hours on the road travel lids drink safely and void spills with the with the zipper style tops which I showed you that it slides back then you slide it over now I'm not going to turn it upside down guys because you know people do that and then when it leaks they go I spell proof well it if it's dripping it's not really spilling it's just dripping I think what that's for is if you knock it over and pick it up real quick if that would have been a cup of coffee it would have been spilled you know it would have been you know whatever to where this if you knock it over and pick it up you might spill a drop or two I'm not going to turn it I'm not going to do that stupid stuff okay large capacity carry up to 14 yes it is 14 fluid ounce with which is 414 milliliters in each insulating insulated mug so like I said it is sharper image it's really all that it says except on the on the box on the bottom here you get two mugs you get your two car adapters what you will need batteries not included well no I mean of course if they want to send me an 89 suburban that will greatly be appreciated but if not I understand okay so let's get to the time this is tomorrow's tomorrow on the top upside down and so tomorrow's tomorrow but sharper image some things I've had from them that were fails but honestly guys all in all not a lot I have had a lot of sharper image stuff that does just well you know so like I said not all of it's great but then again you know I mean not everything's perfect you know my favorite tool is snap on I know I know a lot of guys will say Matt craftsman whatever but my favorite tool which I do not own I might own a couple wrenches is snap on I can't afford guys are expensive well I can't afford Mac either but there are some things I don't care about on there with their with their products but I'll tell you why I like snap on over Mac in school fire went out my junior senior year I took auto mechanics they call it auto tech now in my vocational school and all we used was snap on we had a snap on guy come in demonstrate their products the very next week we had a Mac guy come in demonstrate his products and he took two wrenches and he had it was I think it was a 3-8 he had these little plastic plugs that were 3-8s alright hex head plugs and what he did was he took a he took a Mac six-point you gear heads I know what I'm talking about six-point wrench 3-8s put on one side and a snap on reverse that he did the 12-point on the Mac and a six-point on the snap on and then when you twist them you see which one rounds off which one strips well of course a Mac stripped he says okay well all right let's I'm gonna go and put a six point on here and he put another plug in six point six point Mac versus snap on Mac stripped and I said hey just for fun I mean he looked like an ass he was so embarrassed his face was ready was getting annoyed because we was all making fun of him and I said hey just for fun put a 12-point on there snap on up against the Mac six point the snap on 12 point held and the Mac six point stripped it out so I mean I don't know if then plastic plugs were rigged and he was putting them on the wrong ends I don't know but I can tell you that snap on held it every time he had more of a demonstration he was supposed to do but he was so irritated he says I'm gonna call this this one short and I'm just gonna pack up and go and of course we were all like yeah yeah go hit the road you know but anyway listen all of this video it's about so let's see what time it is here my daughter tagging in post let's see I don't know if you can see this or not focus it's 312 all right it's 312 I won't come back in 30 minutes and we'll check the temperature of these things and see if it will keep it hot I know it's not very long but I don't want to leave us trucks in here around for an hour so but it'll definitely even a good mug in 30 minutes is going to drop some temperature so during editing I'll have to put on the screen here what the one plugged in started at and the one that wasn't plugged in I mean I only had plugged in a few seconds but the other one that wasn't plugged in it already dropped a temperature so if I remember to I'll put it all across the screen what they were and then we'll see what they are after 30 minutes so hang tight guys and I'll be back with you okay guys so it's been a little over 30 minutes 344 now so which one you want to check first first thought I'm just feeling them right now all right let's do the one without the ones plugged in is a little does feel a little hotter let's do the one that's not plugged in we'll turn our thing on here okay 71 degrees in this truck I see a little bit of steam okay let's see what we're looking at here it's climbing so without it even plugged in it's doing pretty good so it hasn't been plugged in and it is 134 okay so now this monkey is I think I mentioned that but I think she's gonna do a review on them as well this is the one that's plugged in here I don't know I say it's still plugged in let's uh all right now let's check the temperature on this one it's up to 111 114 118 jumped up to 127 131 134 136 138 so a couple degrees I mean it's been 30 minutes so it has dropped significantly even being plugged in it's not going any higher than 138 all right let's check let's check one that's not plugged in again let's see what it is 136 134 remember I got the lids off so you know that's going to escape some heat but 132 so 132 to 138 that's not much of a difference to me in 30 minutes maybe over hours upon hours but the one that was plugged in still drops significantly it's staying right at 132 so it's it's a pretty good mug without even being plugged in it's decent yeah it's a great mug but I stuck it in the one that's plugged in it went up to 136 and it's holding there right now so maybe over hours upon hours upon hours but if you're going somewhere in 30 minutes I'm even going to venture to say well now it's been you know it's been what 36 minutes now so you know if you're not like on a four-hour trip I can't I can't I don't know guys I don't think it's that great I mean over 30 minutes the reason why I wanted to do that was to see how much the one that was plugged in dropped and it dropped significantly for being plugged in and over 30 minutes it's only four degrees difference so you know just keep going over hours I mean in an hour it would be what eight degrees difference now I'm gonna say no on it I'm gonna say no I don't think I don't think these plug-in mugs are gonna work unless you leave them plugged in all day I mean a four-degree difference in 30 minutes so we're gonna say what well you know over 30 minutes I don't know unless you've got it plugged in to your your cigarette lighter all day to keep something warm till lunch but I mean you know who's gonna want a cup of coffee at noon especially here in Florida a hot cup of coffee at noon after it was brewed you know four to five hours earlier you know I'm not a coffee drinker but I know that's a long time to set even stand warm that's you know what I mean if I know it's kind of a bad comparison but you know if I open up a coke take a few drinks of coke and put it back in a fridge a few hours later it's it's not gonna be any good I'm not sure about coffee that much but I remember you know my dad we went to restaurant one time and he ordered a cup of coffee was like when was this brewed and she was like well it's been a few hours but it's still hot and he said that doesn't matter he said it's nasty I want fresh brewed coffee so I'm gonna take it from him cuz he was a hard coffee drinker he said you can't do that you know he said it just changed you can't you know there's a big difference so now soup I don't know maybe I don't know I really don't think no I just don't think it's worth it if you're planning on keeping something hot that long you know an hour would be what eight degrees approximately so you know technically you could put your soup in this cup you know fresh made soup in this cup in the morning and leave the lid on it leave it in your vehicle you come back out four hours later I'm gonna say it has just cooled down enough just to where it's still gonna be hot enough you know to be enjoyable but not too hot I mean you don't have to let it cool down you know what I mean I would say it'd be perfect I may do do that experiment and see over like four hours or something but I mean I would think you know jeesh I mean starting out it I can't remember what we started out at you know I know it wasn't boiling it did it did cool down some let let me check this out I'll write it down let me go over the footage and I'll write down the numbers that way I can say to you and then we'll do our outro okay guys I kind of crunched some numbers like I said it's not rocket science what it all boils down to pun intended is what the difference is okay so here's what I came up with we started at 186 degrees we poured them in the cups okay we measured as soon as we poured them in the cups the one that was plugged in was 168 degrees the one that was unplugged started at 159 degrees okay then when we checked again after 30 minutes the one that was plugged in was 138 degrees which is an 18 degree drop and the other one that was not plugged in was 132 degrees which is a 25 degree drop but the difference after 30 minutes is only six degrees so what that boils down to is that the difference in the temperature so the the one that was plugged in really if you think about it didn't do that great because when it wasn't plugged in was only six did six degrees cooler than the one that was plugged in at 138 degrees so and that was after 30 minutes so is it really worth plugging it in not after 30 minutes I mean like I said if you're going all day or you know for three four or five hours maybe there'll be a big difference but I I really don't I really don't think there is I think this needs to be revisited and I think that's what we'll do when I when I get four or five hours mess with this we'll try it again and this time we'll just we'll leave one plugged in one not plugged in for four hours and we'll see you know see what happens then but over 30 minutes all in all you would think being plugged in if that's supposed to heat up you would think being plugged in that it would it would have kept temperature a lot better than that I mean understandably you know the one that wasn't plugged in lost more temperature in 30 minutes but at the end you know here we go it was only six degrees difference at the end of that 30 minutes so I mean think about that that's it's not that great so we'll have to do a revisit but right now I'm gonna say you know no at least this one is not it's electric but is it worth the plugging it in for you know let's say you got a half an hour drive you want your coffee hot is six degrees let's say you got a half an hour drive to work and you got got it plugged in it's six degrees hotter than I'm plugged I mean really or is your taste buds is your tongue going to notice that difference I don't think so you're a 30 minute drive to work what is six degrees difference I don't think it's I don't I wouldn't notice the difference I wouldn't notice at all so no I mean I really don't especially if you're looking at the one it's the same one for 40 bucks on Amazon no I mean just get you a couple cups you know like this that don't need to be plugged in I mean like I said we'll have to do you know we'll have to do a comparison over maybe four hours if you're talking a long trip but then again who wants to drink coffee that's four hours old because I know I don't want to drink tea that's four hours old I just you know no I don't want to do that so to me it's not worth it especially if you're talking about a half an hour drive to work and it was a little more even actually so by the time we got it checked and everything you know it was it was well over half an hour as well over 30 minutes it's 30 minutes when I turned you guys but it was 32 minutes when I turned you guys back on so I mean if you're thinking you know I got a short commute to work about a half an hour drive that'll keep my coffee hotter no it won't technically yeah but only six degrees are you really going to notice six degrees I don't think you would if somebody handed handed you both of them and you don't know which one was plugged in that could be an experiment we'll see see what monkey you know get monkey involved and have her try it and we'll know which one is plugged in and which one's not see if she can tell which one's hotter maybe we should do that but right now I'm saying no it's it's not worth it's not worth to plug it in it's just to me it's not so anyway guys thanks for watching I appreciate it stay tuned what here soon we'll do what we'll do a revisit on this and get more in depth but right now if you're looking for a you know I gotta drive at least a half an hour to work and my mug doesn't stay that that warm I'll get me one of these electric ones we'll go ahead but don't even plug it in because six degrees ain't I guarantee you're not gonna tell a difference you're not gonna go wow maybe psychologically you're gonna think well that is hotter then yesterday when I didn't have it plugged in no it's not it's well six degrees your taste buds aren't that sensitive on a six degree burn you know if you take a big sip and you burn your mouth and there's a six degree difference you're not going to be able to tell wow you know I burnt my mouth that was six degrees hotter than the other one no because you know over 130 degrees it's gonna burn you it's gonna burn it's plenty hot enough so anyway guys thanks for watching appreciate it she better admit the man legend hope this help and I will see you in the next one thanks again guys don't forget check out monkey 1000 channel yeah she'll be getting off work here soon she's got an hour drive home so maybe she should have took one of these cups we'll see you soon bye bye guys and take care
