Pinci Split-Magnetic 2 in 1 Hand Warmers, 10000mAh Rechargeable Electric Power Bank

bought as a secret santa gift. I tried them out first and I have to say they are just as good as my £35 hand warmers.The RGB LED light is a little annoying but once you get used to what setting you want it is no biggy plus you have the option to run the RGB off. They take a little longer than descripted to heat up but once they do they last for a good while at max power.I never tried the power bank side of this as I would only ever use these to power my phone as a last resort.Worth the price.

The media could not be loaded. Let me start by saying “YES”, I am for sure a fan of these.So I like the colour, it’s a good deep blue, with a kind of “Satin Blue” finish, which I like.They come with 2x leads to charge them, 2x hand lanyards, 1x plush carry pouch, which is a nice little package.Now the reason I like these so much, “Size & shape”, I’ll explain, I have a few hand warmers, and they all have the same thing in common “Size & shape”, until this one, the fact that I can individually switch these on, which I like, 1 for each hand, but, the real “instant win” for me, is the fact that this is the first hand warmer I’ve had, the I can actually close my hand round fully, the nice slim “tube” shape fits perfectly in my hand, meaning all of the palm side of my hand gets warmed, including my fingers, right to the tip, and then add the fact I can use the provided lanyards round my wrists(which normally don’t fit), is perfect.Now the business end of this warmer/power bank, has a “USB A” port & a “USB C”, one to charge them, one to provide power out, both work great.Another thing I thought was a nice touch, is the “light ring” that lights up when you power them on, and how it changes colours, which I just think looks cool.All in all, I’m a fan of these, happy to have them.

I’m not sure if I’ve got a defective set, but I’m very surprised by how little heat these hand warmers give off.I’ve compared them to others I own and despite them having the same temperature modes (low - 40 to 45c, med - 45 to 50c and high - 50 to 55c) , even on the highest setting and having both of them on at the same time, they got no hotter than a couple of my others on their lowest settings.Beyond that, the design is a little frustrating -* the power button is small and because of its positioning next to the USB-A output, it is harder to press and hold than if it was located in a different place on the warmer or if the button, the power output (USB-A), power input (USB-C) and power indicator lights weren’t all in such a small space.* the power indicator lights are also difficult to read because of where they’re positioned (sandwiched between the input and output ports) and also because of the RGB illuminated ring - the glare of that (which is for aesthetics only?) bleeds into the power indicators and makes them hard to see/read, especially at a quick glance.Other than that, these 5000mAh warmers also function as small capacity powerbanks - they’ll give you a little bit of a charge boost for a mobile phone or tablet but they’re not high enough capacity to give a half to full charge.Their operation is similar to all the others I’ve owned and tested - a long press (4 seconds) of the power button to turn them on and then a quick press to change the temperature setting up 1. You long press again to turn the units off. If you quick press the power button when the unit is turned off, it will not provide any heat or power but will show you how much charge is left (1-3 indicator lights illuminated).I can’t comment on the price for certain, as it’s currently showing as unavailable but they we’re definitely in excess of £40 at the time or writing, which seems excessive to me.

The media could not be loaded. I really like the way that these magnetically stock together so you can use them separately or together . Come with a very nice little carrying pouch, they each get a usb c charging cable and carry strap which is good. Perhaps the but I like the best is they double up as a nice compact power bank for getting you out of a pinch if your phone is running low on power when your out. Overall good

The two units can be combined, via the magnets built in, to form one larger whole. I suppose this is helpful for storage purposes but not a lot, IMHO. When combined the result is ungainly. Combining the warmers does not make them better as hand warmers. At least not as far as I can work out.As two separate smaller hand warmers I like them more. The metallic finish is attractive. The quality of manufacturing seems very good. I’ve no issue with the finish.There is no indication of the battery level or temperature other than that provided by three LEDs. This seems quite crude. My main beef with the indicator LEDs is their placement RIGHT NEXT TO THE USB A PORT. The lights are visible through the side of the port and through their proper apertures. These apertures are tight up against the type C connector and when charging the result is difficult to see/interpret. It all smacks of uncomfortable compromise to me.When the heating effect is turned on there are RGB type lighting effects at the end with the USB ports. These effects are quite attractive but serve no other purpose that’s apparent to me. The light colour and speed of fluctuation seems to be independent of the temperature setting.The heating seems to be quite localised. It does spread along the length of the warmer but it seems to originate from a relatively small area. The flat ‘magnetic’ section is not heated as such.Whilst these warmers look quite nice I don’t rate them very highly. I prefer the ‘water worn pebble’ type devices. I’m not carried away by the superfluous lighting effects. I don’t find the shape very pleasant. The glossy finish isn’t very ‘tactile’, at least I don’t think so.The supplied bag has a really nice velvety feel. I like it a lot.I hope these opinions and observations are helpful.
