    talk about an unnecessary piece of trash? they don't dare tell you the dimensions, but if yu look at the size of the lighter plug in respect to the pizza in it, it appears it is made to heat up the PIZZA BITES and not a true sized pizza. More junk to end up on ebay or yard sales this summer.GOOD LUCK, lol

    Perfect, now that they're making texting while driving illegal people can start cooking while driving instead.

    I don't think it will be saved to use with your 12V in the car! You will either short your car or overload its electrical systems.

    Hey, beats what I saw last summer in France: a wood fire pizza truck with a real wood fire roaring in the oven... as the truck was driving on the road in front of me (you could see the fire through the rear window and smoke coming out of the chimney on the roof -- wish I had taken a picture!). Somehow this seems a little safer.

    Not saved to use,#4? 10.8 amps, if anybody really cares.

    The funny thing is if you look at the picture, the pizza hanging out may actually be too large to fit with the door shut unless it's crammed into an oval shape.

    10A is a typical limit for lighter socket gear because many cars are fused at 10A if not a little higher, so you may still blow a fuse with this.

    Unless your car is terribly designed, or in a malfunctional state, so long as the engine is running it's alternator should have no problem powering this but if you're driving you may find your gas mileage reduced a little bit by the addt'l alternator drag.

    What this long narrow cavity looks best suited for are a couple of french bread pizzas, though without the interior dimensions that's just a guess and 120W is pretty pathetic, you might do as well to get a real 12V toaster oven wired direct to the battery.

    Didn't they rip this off from a "Simpsons" episode?

    This reminds me of some telephone line powered stuff:

    Now THAT is funny. If it only draws 5A, you might as well point a high-beam headlight at your pizza.

    10 amp @ 12V = 120 Watts (about the same than a conventional light bulb) ....so this heats about 10 times less than a toaster. You may die before a frozen pizza is done. In the good side this may work to warm up your socks during winter.

    looks like the best use so far would be to dry your 5X7" recently printed photos and forget the pizza, unless it is a PHOTO of a PIZZA
