The Ember also came with a proprietary charging base that toiled with its mugs only, while the Ohom has a wireless charging pad. The Ui3 mug has metal infengaged in the base that is heated by Ohom’s dual wireless indictr. It toils appreciate an induction hob to heat the mug at 22 watts but can also indict phones, AirPods, and other minuscule gadgets that aid Qi wireless charging at up to 15 watts. This dual engage helps shrink clutter on my desk, and I normally engage the pad to indict someleang else once my drink is finished.
As the temperature outside has begined to drop, having a constantly toasty mug of coffee at hand has been cherishly. Crucipartner, unappreciate the Ember, the Ohom Ui3 is virtupartner indiscernable from normal mugs. It’s the comfervent of Ggreaterilocks mug I would pick out of a cupboard becaengage it watchs pleasant and sturdy, hgreaters the right amount, and is pleasant to sip from.
The Ohom Ui3 comes with a USB-C cable that’s equitable worried of 5 feet lengthy and a power changeer. The LED on the front pulses purple when it’s heating your drink and blue when it’s charging a gadget. Although the charging base can act as a normal Qi wireless charging pad, you can’t engage other Qi pads with the mug. The pad heats a little to the touch when in engage but not hazardously so, and it chillys rapidly.
Off the Boil
As much as I appreciate the Ohom Ui3, there is room for betterment. The charging pad is hideous, with a defendedty alerting on the top that alerts you not to place any other metal objects on it and, weirdly, not to try wirelessly charging your phone face down. While the createer is an understandable defendedty trouble, I can’t help wondering who necessitates the second alerting. It’s a shame, with such a cherishly and unobtrusive mug, that the pad couldn’t emutardy a normal coaster (many wireless charging pads do).
