Scotland is braced for another bout of freezing temperatures and wild weather. Snow is expected to blanket much of the country over the coming days with the possibility of the mercury plummeting to -16C overnight.
Many of us have already had to de-ice our car windscreens over the past couple of weeks – and it looks like it’s a task we’ve not seen the back of, given the upcoming forecasts.
For those sick of the daily defrosting grind, there’s some good news as a nifty gadget has surfaced that promises to make defrosting a breeze. On offer at Amazon, the QCHMM Electric Ice Scraper has had its price cut by 11 per cent to £36.97, from its original £41.57 value.

The rechargeable gadget employs rotating plastic blades to expertly tackle stubborn ice on car windshields and windows, without exerting pressure that could scratch or damage the glass. It effectively clears away frost and ice rapidly.
Motorists have been singing the praises of the QCHMM Electric Ice Scraper, as it quickly clears their windscreens while they keep their hands warm. One elated customer awarded the gadget a five-star review, saying: “Since I unfortunately don’t have a garage, I always have to scrape my car out. So far I’ve simply used a normal ice scraper, but if you do it every day, it gets really annoying.
“I then discovered this electric scraper which probably solves the problem. Actually, the principle is also very simple. There are several blades at the bottom that loosen the ice. Then you can simply sweep it off the window with a whisk.”
While a second shopper, who dubbed the device “super”, explained that he’d already bought his third one, so that he had one for each of his vehicles. Although most people shared positive reviews, some were less than impressed, including one who said it was “uncomfortable”.
