Finally, The Heated Outdoor Folding Chair You’ve Been Waiting For

Posted on 04/08/2021 by hite

Because the great outdoors are best enjoyed while warm and seated, this is the Heated Outdoor Folding Chair available exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer. I can already feel my butt sweating around a campfire.

The $180 chair has a heating element woven into its seat and has three different temperature settings: 113ºF, 122ºF, and 131ºF. Am I going to hack mine to go up to 300ºF so I can use it for cooking hot dogs? Warranties were made to voided. Its AC rechargeable battery pack provides about six hours of heat on a full charge or about a half-hour of grilling time for me.

Alternatively, just sit on one of those hand warmer packs in a regular folding chair. Sure it might not be as elegant as a heated folding chair, but it’s also not as expensive. If I’m going to spend $180 on a chair, you better believe it’s going to be one of those fancy Japanese toilets with all the bells and whistles.

World’s only cycle that comes with an inflatable paddleboard is the ultimate summer essential!

Posted on 04/08/2020 by Ruchi Thukral

Walk on water? Cool. Bike on water? VERY COOL! This is the world’s only cycle that comes with an inflatable paddleboard for you easily transition between land and water. A collaboration between Red Shark Bikes and Hammacher Schlemmer, this inflatable stand-up paddleboard is perfect for a beach or a lake day.

This dream combination of biking and paddleboarding doesn’t require manual rowing, you just have to use the included pedals to move forward. It was designed to include a built-in bicycle gearing system that provides propulsion. Unlike traditional paddleboards, this one can accommodate the rider as well as two additional people – I bet Rose from Titanic could learn a lesson on maximizing the available space from this. Crafted from high-density polyethylene, this paddleboard uses a double layer of PVC which makes it durable. As an added measure, the PVC is topped with an EVA traction pad that provides sure footing. “As a result, it won’t easily break, and it can hold more weight than traditional paddleboards. Consequently, it’s reliable and long-lasting for plenty of trips to the beach,” says the team. An aluminum-frame cycle sits atop the board, providing a rider with a comfortable gel saddle on an adjustable seat post while keeping it lightweight so it continues to do its job and float! The board measures 56″ L x 39 1/2″ W x 6″ H and weighs 99.25 lbs.

Its crank is connected to two propellers that are mounted beneath the board while the adjustable handlebars control a rudder in the board’s stern. There is also a static (removable) fin beneath the board that provides straight tracking. You can inflate the paddleboard with the hand-operated air pump that comes in the package. You also get a water bottle holder, 0.5-liter bottle, 13-function multitool, and repair kit so all your paddling bases are covered! To make it portable and convenient to carry around there are four carry handles and eight D rings – these also keep it stationary in cars. This is the ultimate summer essential!

R/C Frilled Dragon Puffs Out Its Neck

Posted on 10/10/2019 by Paul Strauss

I’ve always been fascinated by those crazy looking reptiles that can puff out their necks to scare off predators. But I don’t have the time or patience to take care of a living, breathing lizard. Now, you can enjoy all the thrills of a frilled dragon, with none of the pesky cricket feedings.

This silly looking remote-controlled toy has a lizard-like body, and has the ability to puff out its neck with the push of a button. It can move around autonomously, avoiding objects and changing directions, and can be set to follow a hand placed in front of its face, or lurk about waiting to scare off any threats.

You can grab one of these electric lizards over at Hammacher Schlemmer for $39.99. Unfortunately, it doesn’t actually crawl like a lizard. Instead, it’s got wheels on its underbelly, and it legs and webbed feet are just along for the ride. Eh, what do you want for forty bucks?

F-35 Fighter Jet Kite Feels the Need for Speed

Posted on 16/05/2019 by Shane McGlaun

Spring is here, and that means it’s time to get out in the park and outside to enjoy the warmer weather. That also means running around flying a kite. If you have a kid or adult who likes military aircraft, this awesome looking kite is just the ticket.

The 6-foot-long kite looks like a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II fighter jet. It’s made from ripstop nylon attached to a fiberglass frame. Three under-fuselage attachment points for the string keep the kite stable. It ships with 175-feet of 85-pound test line that is very strong, so you should lose your precious kite. The kite also has a long orange tail to keep it stable.

Hammacher Schlemmer sells the F-35 kite for $129.95.

This Crazy-expensive Tiny Fridge Has a See-through Video Display Door

Posted on 08/03/2019 by Shane McGlaun

Compact refrigerators are great for small spaces like a dorm room. They are also great for bars and garages where you want to hold cold beverages. These fridges are mostly boring metal or glass-door affairs. But Hammacher Schlemmer isn’t known for normal fare, and its little fridge is something different.

The description is notably vague on how the display works, but what we know is that it has an integrated HDTV screen on the door capable of showing video, photos, movies, and screensavers. It appears that the door is see-through, even when video or pictures are on the screen. The fancy door screen supports full HD resolution (1080p) video playback, and can display content via a flash drive, streaming stick, or via its own internet connection.

The fridge has a 3.5 cubic foot capacity, and measures 35 1/4″ h x 19″ w x 18 1/2″ d. If you’ve got $2,500 to blow, you can grab one from Hammacher Schlemmer today.

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!: Crash and Rebuild Monster Trucks

Posted on 04/12/2018 by Shane McGlaun

I’d wager most people that played with LEGO growing up made cars and trucks with the bricks and promptly crashed them. Hammacher Schlemmer is offering a set of RC toy monster trucks which takes that idea and runs with it.

Crash and Rebuild Monster Trucks aren’t made from LEGO, but they do seem LEGO-like in how the bodies and drivers click into the chassis. The trucks can go up to 9 mph, and if you have a head-on collision, the driver unseats and flies through the air, as body panels go flying.

The set comes with two chassis, four bodies, and four drivers. Also included is a pair of 2.4GHz remote controllers, which work from up to 49-feet away. Power comes from rechargeable batteries inside the car chassis that charges via a USB port and provides up to 30 minutes of driving per charge. These aren’t cheap at $99.95 for the set, but they do look like lots of fun for kids.

You Won’t Need a Broomstick to Catch This Harry Potter Snitch Drone

Posted on 23/10/2018 by Shane McGlaun

One of the things that fans of the Harry Potter books and films remember the most is the game of Quidditch that the wizards play. Harry got to be the Seeker and tried to catch the Golden Snitch to win the game for his team. Fans of the films and books will want to grab one of these Golden Snitch drones.

The body of this compact drone looks like the Golden Snitch from the movie, but it flies much more slowly. It’s held aloft by counter-rotating blades sticking out of its top, but also has flapping wings to make it look like the Snitch in the film. Check it out in the video below:

The coolest feature is that it has proximity sensors, and when it detects your hand it will fly away when hovering in place. It also has a remote control that allows the user to control speed and altitude. Harry Potter’s Golden Snitch Drone is available via Hammacher Schlemmer for $39.95.

Self-balancing Electric Skateboard Can Hit 17 mph

Posted on 20/08/2018 by Shane McGlaun

If you are into skateboarding, but want to do it with as little effort as possible, this might be just the ticket. The Autobalancing Electric Skateboard lets riders zoom along at speeds up to 17 mph while the skateboard does the hard part of keeping them upright.

The self-balancing board has a 36V battery and a 250W motor and it promises enough grunt to make it up inclines. It can ride up to 11 miles per charge, and it takes about 3 hours to juice up. It has 6-inch tires up front, and actually looks a bit like one of those hoverboards that was so popular a couple of years back – but with an elongated riding platform and a third wheel in back.

Riders control the skateboard using a provided wireless remote or a free app for iOS or Android devices. Either option gives control over speed, brakes, integrated Bluetooth speakers and the lights. A dashboard integrated into the top of the skateboard shows speed, mileage, and battery power. It’s available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $699,95.

This Contraption Makes Cold Brew Coffee, Not Frankenstein’s Monster

Posted on 30/07/2018 by Shane McGlaun

A quick glance at this unique device over at Hammacher Schlemmer, and you most certainly wouldn’t think this is a coffee maker. It looks more like something you would use to infuse embalming fluid into Frankenstein’s monster. But it is, in fact a Japanese slow-drip coffee maker. It’s made of fancy wood and brass with a glass sphere and cylinders to hold your brew.

You put 100 ounces of ice water in the glass sphere up top and the spigots over the glass cylinders allow you to adjust the strength of the brew by controlling how slowly the water drips out. Coffee grounds are placed in the top of each cylinder with a filter as the cold water passes through Chinese water torture style.

The drip speed can be controlled from eight to 16-hours, which is a long time to wait for coffee if you need it in the morning. Word is that the cold brew concoction can be stored in the fridge for up to a week to maintain the rich and bitterness-free flavor cold brew coffee is known for. This thing stands 41″ (h) x 11 3/4″ (w) x 11 3/4″ (d), and weighs in at 20.5 pounds, and will set you back the princely sum of $1,950.

Be The Mother of Dragon Kites

Posted on 09/07/2018 by Shane McGlaun

I’m glad that dragons don’t exist; not only because they breathe fire and eat men either. There’s the bit no one thinks about. What if a dragon shat on your car? Bird poo is bad enough, but a giant dragon would certainly crush your ride with its enormous poops. I’m not even sure insurance would cover that.

If you want a giant flying dragon that won’t poo on your car, this is the ticket.

It’s a 10-foot wingspan dragon kite made from ripstop polyester and printed in very bright colors. It has string anchored to legs, chest, and abdomen that ends in a 50-pound test polyester control line. The tips of the wings and tail have purple streamers for stability, and to look cool while flying.

You can fly said dragon to 500-feet high whilst wearing your favorite blond wig. Sadly, you can’t ride it. The 10-foot Dragon Kite will set you back $129.95 at Hammacher Schlemmer, home to all things unnecessary.
