While the CoolIT Beverage Chiller isn't powerful enough to even keep a drink cool, I found a way to keep my drink cold until I finish it. Get a koozie (foam can holder), cut out the bottom, put it around a soda can and stick the can on the CoolIT chiller. Granted, most of the job is done by the koozie, but near the end of the can, it does make a difference.

You're delusional if you think a USB port can take a drink from room temp and make it nice and cold. If you want to do that for $30, again, you're crazy.

Now, if you want an apparatus that keeps cold drinks from warming up as fast and also keeps the bottom half of your can of soda colder much longer, this is perfect. Assuming you crack open a beverage when it's cold, this thing is great. The top half of the drink is gone before it warms up. It's the bottom half that causes problems and this does the job.

Not even close to as loud as some reviews say it is. Yeah, it hums...but it's the same level of sound as the power supply on the CPU, so it's not like I even notice. Granted, this thing is closer to the user than the power supply, but it makes no difference.

I liked this thing. Got it as a gift and it is useful only for aluminum can drinks.

Honest reviews on Coolit Systems USB Beverage Chiller

The CoolIT USB Beverage Chiller is a great idea with not-so-great execution. It only keeps the bottom part of the beverage cold, and not so much that you would notice a difference. The fan is loud. All-in-all an unimpressive product. I'm sending mine back.

I got this device as an early Christmas gift and was mildly excited (I love gadgets). I tested it out in a well air-conditioned office on cans of Diet Coke.

Can 1: fresh out of the box, never opened, & placed on chiller for 1hr. Results: no noticable change in temp.

Can 2: one hour in fridge, never opened, then onto chiller for 1.75 hrs. Results: soda got slightly warmer.

Can 2: 3 hours in fridge, opened, then onto chiller where I sipped it over the course of an 1.5 hrs. Results: it got warmer at what seemed like the standard rate.

This device does not work as advertised. It did not keep my drinks cool. It did not delay the warming. Not a worthwhile gift and certainly not worth $25. Save your money and use ice.

Other downsides: No on/off switch, can only be powered via USB, and it is heavy enough that laptop users will leave it behind.
