Although I know there are more expensive (and hopefully better products out there), I purchased this seat cushion based upon price and apparent features. Unfortunately I quickly found that the seat simply didn't work and a strap broke the first time I tried to use it.
What Happened:
While excited to sit on a cool seat during a hot summer day I put this in my SUV, put the 2 straps around the back of my drivers seat and plugged it in.
Immediately upon sitting down I heard something break. The top strap on the back of the chair ripped out of the side of the seat cushion. Ouch!
Well, I tried to turn it on anyway. No luck. There is a nice (I thought) dial for adjusting the fan speed so I tried low and high settings. Nothing happened. After checking everything over I couldn't find a problem so I unplugged, replugged, etc. No change.
So, I removed the fan from the pocket on the front of the seat to investigate. Turns out that if I spun the fan a little with my finger it would get started and keep running. Apparently the power being sent to the fan wasn't enough to get it moving from a stopped position!
Well, at this point I began to investigate returning the cushion... after working through the return process the shipping cost was apparently going to be about $10... I paid about $23. And, my confidence in the next unit being fully functional was low... Forget it... I should probably still send it back, but what a pain. For now it sits in the box, broken. And I still sit on a hot leather seat!Get more detail about Wagan Universal-Fit Air Circulating Ventilated Seat Cushion.
