Hair dryers, got one!

A few weeks ago I posted a query to find who in Melbourne sells 12 volt hair dryers. After some (actually more than a dozen) calls and waiting for them to arrive, Carac in Dandenong now have some in stock. I haven't had a chance to use mine yet, but at least I have one. So if you are looking for a hint for Christmas, you could add one to your list. Cost I believe was $22 (I got an early Christmas present).

It appears to draw about 0.5A with just the fan and about 10A with the heater on, so I recommend getting an extra jump start battery to run it off..now there's another idea for Christmas too.

I think thats where I got mine !
Is the case entirely made of white plastic?

Yeah, it is all plastic. How does yours work? Is it effective? Hopefully it is several months before it gets cold enough to use it!

Well umm it works, but others Ive seen are better.
If I can find a better one ill buy it but for the price I guess I cant complain too much.
