The four coolest gadgets
Not everyone is already familiar with the principle of crowdfunding, and that is normal. It’s still a relatively new concept, but one that can help creative people make a difference. You first support a great idea for a product, and then you can follow the progress until the package arrives at your door. These are the four coolest gadgets on crowdfunding websites.
1. SunnySide – bread box heats and cools with solar energy
For who is it?
For those who regularly bring food to work that needs to be cooled or heated
What is it?
With the SunnySide you can take a tasty soup with you that you heat up before you eat it. This heating can be done in a few minutes and the SunnySide reaches a temperature of up to 75 degrees. You set the desired temperature with the accompanying app. You can warm up seven times with this lunch box and afterwards it has to be connected to the USB-C charger. Although it also has solar panels with which it can charge itself.
The SunnySide can also hold a salad cake, for example, for a maximum of 20 hours. And if your phone has an empty battery, it can also help you out as a power bank. The device has a 10,000 mAh battery.

Think of this with crowdfunding
Keep in mind that with crowdfunding you always support an idea in the first place, with no real guarantee that the actual product will meet your expectations. So choose the projects and start-ups that you really believe in and follow the regular updates on development and shipping that the start-ups communicate. Supporting projects through crowdfunding is therefore not the same as shopping.
