Vote in this Week’s Coolest Gadget Contest

We have some GREAT entries this week, so will be interesting to see what you think is coolest (as usual vote and comment for a chance to win $50 Amazon voucher).

Washable Keyboard

The Washable Keyboard is perfect if you like to keep your work station clean. Its amazing how many germs and pieces of food get onto your keyboard in a short space of time and with the Washable Keyboard it makes cleaning it so simple. With a normal keyboard its pretty much impossible to clean them properly as most are not waterproof. With this being 100% waterproof it means your keyboard won’t stop working if you happen to spill your drink on it either.

Laptop Cooler – Easy Desk Cool 2

The Easy Desk Cool 2 provide you with all convenience and versatile a laptop should have, they aren’t far from perfect, especially in the ergonomic department. Stiff necks, sore shoulders and back pain symptoms are often the negative side effects associated with prolonged laptop usage.

Wind Up Walkie Talkies

This is no “Wind Up”, ha ha (had to get that joke in before anyone else). What you’re looking at is a set of walkie talkies that are powered through the age old art of “winding”. Like clocks of old, to make these little eco-gadgets work you simply flick out the wind handle, take a firm grip and wind like a good-un. The wind to power ratio works out surprisingly satisfactualy as well.

Water Powered JetLev-Flyer: A Monster of a Hosepipe!

The JetLev-Fly Water Jet Pack is the ultimate watersport gadget for all you water junkies out there. Now, if you’re thinking it’s another jet ski gadget then think again! This water propelled monster, made up of a 4 stroke engine and 10 metre flexible hose can power the rider to a whopping 50 feet (15m), has a top speed of 30mph, and travels almost 200 miles before it needs to be refuelled. Pretty impressive I would say!

Futuristic Router Switches Off When You Grab Your Keys

Designed much like a key holder, the router saves power by switching when there is no one in the building.

Bagelpod – The Safe Way to Slice Your Bagel

The BagelPod slices bagels, buns and rolls, and provides safe, quick and easy slicing. The two specially designed serrated blades, made of heat treated 420A stainless steel metal, are always locked behind the units cutting mechanism while the Bagelpod slicer is open and in use. The two blades cannot be accidentally touched while this unit is in use, so it is 100% safe, and it’s top rack dishwasher safe.

Port-a-Pint – the folding pint glass

This Port-a-Pint folds up and then has a lid to go over it. So just stick it in your pocket and at any given moment you’re ready for beer.

ClimbStation – A treadmill for climbers

ClimbStation is like a vertical treadmill that revolves at a top speed of 17 meters per minute. In fact, the Climbstation can automatically adjust the scrolling speed to match the user’s climbing speed, or lack thereof.

It’s got to be the bagelpod. I hate it when I unevenly slice my bagel so it won’t fit in the toaster, so this gadget is ideal!

Is there really any contest? That water jetpack is one of the coolest gadgets i’ve ever seen on here.

John Says:

Water Jetpack is an instant win for me. The Climb Station seemed pretty neat, but I would rather go flying over water at 30 mph instead.

I voted for the laptop cooler

Jabberwock Says:

The keyboard I would forgot to dry…

I would cut myself with the bagel cutter…

I would fold the port with the pint in it…

I choose the JetLev, been around too long anyway!

Water jet for the win! What they need to do is place the water source in the middle. Then you can go flying round and round and round . . .

A water-powered jet pack? Are you kidding me? Buzz Lightyear here we come!

Suzanne Says:

How could any of them except the one with COOL in the title be the winner of the COOLEST gadget? LOL

The laptop cooler is the most appealing to me because I have a laptop that runs very, very hot. Naturally that would be the gadget that caught my eye first and seems most universally useful.

Wow it was almost a five way tie between: Wind Up Walkie Talkies, Washable Keyboard, ClimbStation, Futuristic Router, and Laptop Cooler. Walkie Talkies got the vote.

Maybe not only this week’s coolest gadget but this year’s coolest gadget, the etLev-Fly is the winner. There is no way to compete against this thing (unless someone starts selling an actual jetpack).

Liz Says:

The easy desk cool 2 would be a boon to those of us with disabilities.

tru Says:

This week was really tough! I need the laptop desk, my fiance really needs the washable keyboard, but the water jet pack is just too awesome!

Climbstation for me – I could do with the exercise

Jason Says:

July 17th, 2009 at 1:07 pm

The porta-pint is a great party trick gadget. Good for camping, too.

Drew Says:

The ClimbStation is IMHO the coolest thing this week, but on the practicality side, The washable keyboard is what I could….erm….actually afford…

Jerry D. Says:

Water Powered JetLev-Flyer – not sure I’d try it, but would enjoy watching somebody else attempt it

Thyago Says:

July 17th, 2009 at 5:23 pm

The jetpack is definitely the coolest.

will Says:

July 17th, 2009 at 7:02 pm

The jetpack. Damn if it isn’t impractical, but I’d love to have one.

Helard Says:

The Washable Keyboard is an essential!

wikigadget Says:

July 18th, 2009 at 8:50 am

LMAO for the washable keyboard, but i think its really nice..It’s the coolest dude:D

andy Says:

July 18th, 2009 at 3:25 pm

my vote goes to the bagelpod. i hate it when you’re trying to cut a bagel and the knife isn’t sharp enough and you just end up squishing your poor breakfast. this bagelpod looks like it might be able to take care of that problem.

Deen Says:

July 18th, 2009 at 9:18 pm

BagelPod looks more aesthetic than that guillotine-like contraption I threw out…

Essam Says:

July 19th, 2009 at 3:48 pm

The Washable Keyboard is essential one, so I’ve voted for it.

Mirabel Says:

July 19th, 2009 at 7:38 pm

Most of them are pretty amazing to me, but the Jet pack is an instant win. What kid didn’t dream of flying in a jet pack far off in the future of adulthood? Now it’s possible to (somewhat) fufill childhood dreams!! Instant win!
