Kurt Aaron tests out the Portable Auto Heater and Defroster to find out, "Does It Really Work?"

The maker claims it will quickly defrost your windows and heat up your car.  It can defrost windows from the inside or out.  Just simply plug it into your vehicles 12v power port and turn it on.  You can rest it on your dashboard or pull the handle out and hold it in your hand!   It also comes with a 6 foot cord.

Newswatch 16 plugged it and turned it on, but there were problems right out of the gate.

The first unit we used, died on the second day we tried using it.

That's why we always buy two of every product.

The second one does work, so we  headed to Barber Ford in Exeter to try it out on some more cars.

It did clear some of the windshield from fog. However, the side windows and back windows were all foggy.

The crew at Barber Ford said that's a problem because a vehicle can't legally pass Pennsylvania State Inspection without a properly working defrost system.

The product feels cheap.  It gets hot very fast and only blows heat on the lowest setting.  The higher setting is for fan only, it just couldn't keep our windows clear.

The auto defroster gets a thumbs down.
