Has anyone found a 12V cabin heater/defroster that will provide heat and help with defrost while waiting for the engine to come to temp?

I have a Nissan Altima Hybrid, and can't drive in EV mode until the engine temp hits 161F. Meanwhile, my windshield is fogging up and my passengers are whining.

All the reviews for these things are very negative. Is there a "better" one than most? The creme de la crap, perhaps?

Thanks,
Eph
