- Temu is a new website that sells cheap gadgets, so I ordered the first 9 gadgets recommended to me and put them to the test. Also, I wrote to the company asking them how to pronounce "Temu" and I got two different answers, so I went with one of the two they gave me.

The VA Hospital used to use those tablet's for patient's that couldn't speak, but could write. It's perfect for that.
Good idea, ,y son had cancer n his throat and i got one these for him so we could talk to each other.
Not to mention the purpose that they seem to be made for. Kids just doodling and drawing and not wasting paper. It's obviously a toy, and a great price to boot.
I have something similar that I keep by the phone for quick notes at work.
@@VECT0R777 Works worth keeping can be photographed for preservation.
@@bkidiii Same here. When I worked on an IT Service Desk, it was great for jotting down notes as I worked with a caller.
I would love to see a series of Deals or Duds
Same! :)
Same!
Me too
🙏🙏🙏
Or Wish vs Temu
OMG I am so glad I found your channel. Finally honest reviews! And I love the demonstrations!
IKR? His channel is addicting
I can see the writing tablet being useful on my desk. I often scribble stuff on paper while on the phone and then transcribe it neater and more organized wherever it belongs. This would save a lot of paper in uses like that.
I also just bought dry erase cards for us to use in games like Scattergories, where again, four of these in the box…
It could be very useful in the right situation.
Also, if a fingernail works, it isn’t capacitive, so anything hard and pointed should work.
Any "game system" like that one that comes from China is always 100% pirated games. There's hundreds of shapes and sizes out there and they're all pirated games. Not that it really matters unless you're nintendo.
Pretty much the exact same games also in every console
@@jmanrock11 200k games is a lie, typically it's just duplicates
@@Alec_Reaper most likely but even if it had 10k, That’s a ridiculous amount that you’d probably not play.
it's a raspberry pi with emulators installed in a fancy casing. if you have a pc you can install emulators yourself and use a wired Xbox controller to play
Also the majority of the "400 games" are going to be Chinese made ROM hacks that can get completely ridiculous. If you are a person that can get enjoyment out of wild things like those then there is $10 of amusement in these devices.
I ordered $50 worth of items and for a first time user I had a coupon for $25 off $50. So I paid like $27 all together.
I got my son a lightsaber for Christmas and it ended up being much better than I could have ever expected it had 7 different light colors and sound effects when you hit something. Ordered a Bennie that was great quality surprisingly a belt that was like $2 but works very good. A cap for my daughter with cat ears and goggles built in, she loves it (my only complaint is it says high fashion on the front) and a couple other items that were a good deal.
My order arrived a day late and they gave me a $5 credit that I used to buy an extra large hoodie for $10 after the discount and it fits and feels better than a $40 one I bought. I'll definitely be using them again. The price fluctuations kind of suck but still a good deal would recommend.
Surprisingly some cheap stuff tends to be better than expensive stuff especially for children who will most likely be breaking them
beanie* ?
If you buy Temu you are supporting Slave labor in the worst of ways 🤦yes most companies use slave labor but companies like Temu and shein take slave labor to a whole new level and obviously the workers get paid next to nothing. Take pride in your slave labor products
@@nickt2559 Temu uses the exact same manufacturers and factories as the stuff you’re buying from a supermarket or big store like Macy’s or Walmart or whatever. They reason that temu is so cheap is that it’s direct manufacturer to consumer products instead of being sold to a middle person first. While I agree that it’s probably bad working conditions, it is absolutely no worse than the usual stores you’d buy the exact same products from. You’re just saving money because the owners of the stores aren’t taking a big cut. Shein on the other hand, I have no idea. Maybe they do make their own stuff in worse conditions than other factories.
Some cheap stuff is very cool. Sometimes it is actually better, but sometimes it is wheel of fortune if it comes working or not. But still worth trying I already found many great stuff for martial arts from China for nice price.
I have placed 6 orders from TEMU and waiting for my 7th now. Seems I like collecting things. Everything I have received was well worth the price, even the balloons and flying sticks were well made. This is like a candy store to me and i'm 85 years old!
😊
I'm with you! and I'm 73.
the one thing I would worry about with the sunglasses is how does their UV protection stack up with other sunglasses? Of course years ago I managed a sunglass shop and that was one of the big things we were focussed on as to why the sunglasses we sold were $50 to way over $50 compared to the cheap glasses people could buy.
The "Game Boy" is an NES Emulator. NES games did not have any way to save scores naturally. In later years batteries were added to carts to allow game saves, but out of the 678 released in the US, only 58 had the ability to save a game. And while most software Emulators have a "save state" feature, the ones used in device like this are very much the most basic code needed to run a NES rom file.
The writing tablets seem great for kids on car trips, no paper no messy pens and they can draw or play tic tac toe.
Do kids still draw with paper and pen? They still play tic tac toe? Just messing with ya. It would some great stuff to keep kids occupied if only for a little while lol
.
My neighbor has them for her g kids. They use them often.
Parents happy tablet 😂
I bought them for my grandchildren and they all loved them for 4-8 years. They are still using them now 5 months later...I never expected them to go down so well. The 5-year-old especially uses it in so many ways. Great for her learning to write and spell. I didn't buy off Temu I paid a bit more on Amazon.
@@pennyqu1595you mean psychiatric medications?
23:47 "for the price, they're probably cheaper than the shoes I normally wear" 😆 🤣 😂 I should hope so 😆 🤣
".....price even with a pair of inserts, they're probably...."
I have to say that though your videos aren’t so much the type I normally watch (I love makeup, shopping, maybe more girly content in general other than asmr), you are an excellent reviewer!! Loved the “where I wore these,” the comparisons, the visuals you made, your descriptions. I was super impressed
The sunglasses look pretty good on you, actually. I might even like it more than the round ones you always wear when you're outside.
When you buy temu you support slave label and support the communist government of china
The thing he forgot is that most likely those glasses do not block UV rays. There have been some research studies done that showed that most knockoff glasses do not block UV rays and because of that some people have serious suffersd problems. One lady who went to the beach a lot ended up getting eye cancer and losing her eye. Her doctor said that if she had been wearing glasses that blocked UV rays she wouldn't have lost her eye. With the ozone thinning faster than Donald's hair it's very important to get sunglasses that blocks UV.
@@Jonathan.D The Ozone layer has been healing for a while now, but go on.
@@Iamonepercent Haha. That's some great satire. I guess you know better than the thousands of real scientists who have actual proof that greenhouse gases are continuing to rise at an alarming rate. What you fail to grasp is that even if you repair the ozone layer it will still naturally allow UV rays to pass through it as it always has. Since you have no clue how anything works I'll explain it in a way that even a 5yo can understand. When you wear sunglasses your pupils dilate to compensate for the reduced amount of sunlight entering the eye. When that happens your eyes take in damaging amounts of UV rays. If you have sunglasses that filter out(or block) the UV rays then it's not a problem. Cheap glasses let the UV rays right into your eyes and damage them. As for the ozone, what's making things worse is the thawing of the artic permafrost that's allowing massive amounts of natural gas to escape into the atmosphere. Those pockets of natural gas do 20x more damage than most other common forms of greenhouse emissions(ie exhaust from a combustion engine). There are lakes in the artic that look like giant jacuzzis due to all the gas that's bubbling up through the water. Even in winter a hole cut through the ice and into the water below will produce a constant flow of gas that can be lit like a torch. That's because we are now and have been for some time, past the tipping point. Stop watching Tucker Carlson and wake up.
@@Jonathan.D That just isn't true at all. Millions of people walk this planet day in and day out and never wear sunglasses and eye cancer(melanoma of the eye) is one of the rarest forms of cancer on the planet.
I love these real time reviews. This is so valuable to potential customers.
Right I hate then the other RUclips just hype it up so much
@@pspwilliams TEMU can be horrible when you have a problem with your order. Try finding their phone number and get someone live.
I bought a princess costume for a little girl that came with dress, cape, wand, gloves that go up to the elbow and a tiara for under 9 dollars. I expected flaws but was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the dress and gloves. The other items are plastic and the same cheap quality you get at any store. The dress was well sewn, no irregularities or holes and was the right size for a 4 year old. I also ordered a tube of hair elastics for ponytails. 98 cents for 20 and the quality was better than what I buy in the stores for three times the price. I bought knock off Crocs for 4 dollars and they fit perfect and are comfortable. I use them for gardening. I was also impressed with a silicone mold I bought to make flowers for cake decorating. Same quality as the ones I bought for 5 times the price. Always look at the dimensions of a product so you won't be disappointed that it's too small. So far I've been happy and thanks for your review.
But the quality of fabric and stitching that you expect of a costume, particularly a Halloween costume, is far less than what you expect on regular clothing, and there have been a proliferation of "Clothing Temus" - i.e. fast-fashion subscription services that send you a monthly surprise package of "cute little outfits" made with Halloween costume quality, for very little money. They last about 3 launderings and have been an environmental disaster and have ruined the second-hand clothing market.
@@rodneykingston6420 That's what I expected, cheap Halloween costume with bad stitching. The material was not cheap costume material. It was good quality and well stitched and has held up through many washings, just like a store bought dress from a department store. That's why I was shocked. Maybe I got lucky and the others are crap.
I understand your concern about other costumes being crap and not lasting long and therefore being environmental disasters. I agree with you and wish there was some way to recycle them. My oldest granddaughter does buy used clothing and restyles them but you can't do that with cheap material that is falling apart. The costume accessories of cheap plastic is another thing that shouldn't be made. You know that will break in a matter of hours or maybe even minutes and is a waste of money and more plastic in landfills.
Apart from bad working conditions, proved slave work at temu factories, environmental disasters at production facilities, etc etc but at least it was cheap
Take care that they comply with flame retardant rules, there have been some tragic cases in the UK with dressing-up costumes catching fire.
@@MalteFS LOL please tell me you live out in the wilderness somewhere and are not a part of modern society cause if not you need to move asap! Everything uses slave labor.
Thank you!!! People like you, taking the time to do real honest videos like this, saves us time and money!!! 👊👍
Alright a couple of things seem to be a pretty decent deal. The “Game Boy” though seems pretty amazing… especially being able to play it on the tv. I think I’m definitely going to grab me a few of them for my husband and I and our grandsons, they love the old school games!
Just to warn you, the emulation quality on this system seems to be somewhat poor*. Also, these "X in 1" systems almost never truly have the number they have. What they usually do is include some recognizable games, and then they put in hacks/palette swaps of those same games (ex. You get a hacked game called "Prehistoric Mario" that is just a Flintstones game with Fred Flintstone's sprite replaced with Mario)
*You can notice the console dropping frames on the Mario ROM, and these cheap X in 1 consoles often have issues with input latency.
If you want more info, just look up some gameplay videos of other X hundred/thousand games in 1 cartridges/consoles, since they tend to all use a similar code base.
Just want you to be forewarned, and have this info up front.
The "game boy" isn't a perfectly legal product, it's in a gray area. The game companies wouldn't go after you for buying typically. The games are taken from illegal download rom sites and sometimes homebrew rom hacks to make an special game that a publisher would never make. The latter isn't illegal but it's pretty uncool that someone's homemade game is taken for profit to just pad out the game count. It's more likely the handheld console he has here has maybe 100 actual games and is padded out with slightly different looking but the same games. The funny thing is that this thing has an easy to source lithium battery when it ever does die. It's an standard Nokia phone battery!
I would recommend reading reviews before you buy one as that issue with not being able to save would upset any serious gamer who would want to come back to a game later. Temu or Amazon may have a different and better model. This one shown is an common cheap Chinese handheld console. Buttons aren't the best but it's made to an cost.
Another issue to note - I work with a lot of Chinese made ROM storage carts like this for homebrew. Many Nintendo games prior to 2003 used save batteries. So unless this device has ROMs that have been patched for flash memory (unlikely) you won't be able to save any progress. You *might* be able to install a battery.
@@MCraft-pt9nf That would be down to the emulator because I've used roms in the emulator playing SNES games before and could save in-game. I think the emulator just made save files. But of course this console is so low budget to think of adding a little extra storage chip inside for saves. Wouldn't take very much for these old games.
@@MrMega200 you're right. It does depend on how it is being emulated, but I highly doubt it's a decent emulator. So at the end of the day they're going to be in the same spot - no saves.
My parents have been ordering from here nonstop and it's definitely a mixed bag when it comes to the products but the ones that have worked like kitchen utensils, faucet heads, rulers and storage racks have all proven to be very useful.
I order non stop too. Easily the best app. It's something for EVERYONE and it's cheap🤣🤣 You can't lose
Be careful with those items that you use to prepare food with, they aren’t regulated and can have dangerous stuff in them sometimes
>rulers
This is going to sound super dumb but you'd better check to make sure the markings are correct! When you get to the cheapo level, there is no low to which they will not go to eke out that small bit of profit.
You can also win anything the sell at your local arcade. Why u no buy????!!!!!
This is me lmao ever since I started ordering Temu became like a drug to me 🤣 idk it’s something about it being so cheap, having free shipping and taking so little to arrive coming All the way from china that makes it appealing
I love your vids. You always sound like you're about to bust out laughing, and your reviews seem genuine and have absolutely helped me find a deal, with those inkless pens(cils)
OMG YES! Love your channel didn't expect to see a Temu review, I keep getting ads for it and I'm super tempted to check it out, I think I might after this video💜
I have ordered several items from Temu. I feel 98% of what I have purchased was awesome buys. My favorite purchase was stainless steel coffee mugs. I paid 8.98 for it. My husband helps take out crops for a local farmer and always takes a mug of coffee with him. He tried out the mug on New Years day and was very impressed. He is looking forward to use it during crop time in September through November.
You lose and our country loses. Not one cent supports a worker even in a store in the USA. Even the delivery of these items within the USA rips off the post office and tax payers who have to subsidize the loss our postal service realizes with the delivery of each of these items shipped direct from China. It's call being selfish and uncaring.
My friends granddaughter has a tablet like that she loves it. For kids it is a great find. But limited like said for adult usage. I draw her letters and words on it and she practices her writing and reading on it. Idk where she got hers. But as kid product. I think that is worth it. Thanks for reviewing this I've got lots of ads to try it and get this that looks to be a lil better than wish. Thanks James. You've saved me lots of money over the years. Happy new year and to all the great and not so great reviews this year.
I could see putting a couple of flat magnets on the back and using it for refrigerator notes like “Ran to the store. Back by 3” or “Need milk”.
@24:00 I have the exact same shoes.. same color even. Dig em but haven't wanted to test them walking around arenas much. The tread is so oddly slithery in a way. Good to know you were confident them. Great reviews!
I've only made one purchase from Temu thus far - a set of four metal utility hooks with adhesive mounts and they work great. As I recall, it was less than $2 for all four - and free shipping. Not bad. And those sunglasses look pretty good on you.
My Dad has a speech issue, so those LCD writing tablets are greatly helpful for his communication. Seems like a good deal to me.
I stumbled upon this video in search of Temu reviews and I must admit you made watching so much fun and very engaging. Loved it!
I've been watching him for years and he's always done top quality videos. 🙌
I bought several of the items you reviewed. The tablets are really hard to see, but they are good for kids. The game unit is fun, but I wish it had actual gameboy titles. The shoes are comfy, and seem to be holding up better than I expected. I also got the headlight, it's so bright that it produces a lot of glare/reflection from anything you are working on.
I’m glad that you receive your products. That’s my first skepticism. Glad it seems you got your moneys worth too! Thanks for the reviews!
I just got my Temu order today! I also wanted to check out the quality. I bought some vinyl frosting piping bags that are really good quality. Some clips with rubber tips that are excellent. A set of spatulas that are way larger than I thought they would be and good quality. A spider strainer for deep frying or boiling food and it's really nice. The weekly pill sorter was broken in two corners and way way larger than I need or thought it would be. It didn't do well in the shipping bag that everything came in. Temu immediately issued a refund for that after I sent them a few pictures. Oh...and some of the softest gloves I've ever had and I love them. Overall...I will buy from them again! Thanks for your review!
i kept seeing temu, but i was kinda skiddish, i heard that its supposed to replace wish. i can't stand wish
Thanks for your comment. I've been scrolling thru all the comments looking for someone who's had a problem so I could see how their customer service handles issues. Seems like they took good care of you. I'll spend good money for a company that backs their stuff and is quick to rectify any problems. Looks like I could try temu
My six year old daughter has one of those writing tablets and she loves it. Not only are they cheap but surprisingly durable.
How do you erase it?
@@2degucitas with ours you just click the button and it erases
im a carer and one of my clients used to have a couple of those writing boards as she was unable to speak. they were great for helping with communication, as didnt have to worry about running out of space/ink as with pen and paper. also easy to carry around
This is one of my favorite channels to watch! It has an Alton Brown - Good Eats vibe if Alton reviewed gadgets!
Aliexpress is also full of those flashlights that look comically huge in the pictures. Apparently, the best way to sell a flashlight is to make it look like it weighs a ton and you need both hands to barely be able to hold it.
I bought like 18 different orders from Temu. Being a female lots of my orders were make-up and housed hold products. I've been happy with them all. And 2 that I wasn't when I asked to return them they gave me an option of a store credit which I received in about 10 minutes and they told me to keep the items. As for the reviews I think they are real cause in all my orders they give me the option to write a review of the items I order and I have actually written reviews on most of the things I've ordered, if I can. Some I haven't used yet. It's like Amazon, Wish or Aliexpress but at cheaper prices, and like anything with cheap prices you take your chances I guess. But as I said I've been happy with everything, thats 128 items, I've bought from Temu, but 2. That's a good review right there.🥰
Did you try to buy with friends, app corner said you get discount that way. Actually I want to compare temu and Amazon and I don't want to buy any junk to do that. :-)
They won't post the negative reviews only the favorable ones.
@@spammerscammer Not necessarily true. If there are more than 1 or 2 reviews go to the next pages and you can fine reviews that aren't always favorable. I've read a few myself when checking out an item.
And now a company in Communist China has your credit card number.
@@Dr.Pepper001 That's ok. I shopped at aliexpress for 5 yrs and had no problems. Think they'd rather stay in business than steal people's money. Besides my bank has safety measures on my account for people trying to use it.They stopped someone already trying to use my hubby's card # in another state.
Great the way you reviewed them, by actually using them & having similar more expensive items to test against.
I’ve ordered from them 2 times for a total of like 40 items. Female sunglasses, male rings and bracelets, laser pointer, drawing tablet , hats and head wraps all sorts of stuff. Also got 2 kalimbas (thumb pianos) that were of good quality. Wouldn’t say everything is perfect but for the price definitely can’t complain! I am satisfied
Yes! So glad you tested there products!!👍 Please test some more of there products again!👍😊

The writing tablet is a copy of a Boogie Board. Mostly used for temporary notes. I was given one to use when I took an exam instead of paper and pencil
I bought one of the writing tablets for my granddaughter who is not quite 3 and she loves it. I may buy one for myself. Easy to take notes at my desk rather than looking for some paper. She even threw it into the kiddie pool by accident...it still works great. And it has a battery that can be replaced. Love it!! Paid under $2 for it. It's a yes for me.
I have made several orders from Temu in the last month. I have been very pleased with the quality of all but a couple small items, but for the money I still didn't loose anything. I bought 2 of the handheld flashlights you reviewed and I love them especially for $3.98 they are a real bargain. They both came fully charged, came with their own charging cord, and they have yet to run down with me using them every night. They are extremely bright and not having to use batteries makes it super nice, plus that makes them very light weight. Thanks for doing these reviews!
Ordered 3 after reading this. Thank you!
Fake account. Hired by Temu.
We had a foster kid that was deaf that we had difficulty signing with because she had never been formally taught by her parents and used her own form of sign language so we ended up buying one of those tablets to communicate with her and she was pretty happy with it
Why didn't you teach the kid sign language yourself didn't you try before you got the tablet
@@lunalovegoodwitch it takes time to learn a language, i imagine the tablet could be useful while they're still learning
@@soogymoogi although it takes time before you Foster or start fostering People you have to understand that some people may have a disability i.e. deaf or something like that so I would have thought you would have plenty of time to learn sign language
@@lunalovegoodwitch I meant the girl they fostered
@@soogymoogi yes although it takes time for the girl whilst they were with her they could have taught her themselves themselves while she was with them then she would have more experience if a family decided to adopt her
I used Temu one time and I will say that I had low expectations and in some cases that was the case, but in others I was really quite surprised. I bought very cheap headphones that go around the back of your head and sit in front of the ear so that you can hear other things going on around you,. I use them all the time. They are light weight, volume is easy to adjust, and they turn on and off easily. One of my favorite headsets. My duds were a $1.98 set of fake nails, and, actually, the most expensive thing that I bought, which is a dog bed that fits on the consul between the seats in my car. The nails were too small for me and not advertised as being for a child or tween, which they are perfect for, so not a total dud. As for the dog bed, it was for my 4 pound Chihuahua, and it seemed perfect for him as he’s very unhappy in his car seat on the passenger side. The leash to hold him in the car seat was made from a half inch wide ribbon. Thin ribbon that frays like the kind you tie a bow on a package with. This on a $20 item. Couldn’t believe it! As most of the stuff I purchased was about two dollars, if I didn’t like it I figured no great loss. The only way I will order from them again is if I am going to purchase something on Amazon that is likely to be on Temu as well, and it will save money, and still has free shipping, then I’ll order from them.
I found Temu in December and got some things from there. I was impressed with the fast shipping, tracking and all. I got 14 items and only had 3 "duds". I tried Wish last year and never got half of my items. When I order from Amazon, the shipping is VERY fast. Temu took one week for some items and up to two weeks for the rest. But if I can get the same item from Temu or Amazon, I choose Temu. As long as it's not something I need right away, I don't mind waiting a few days for my crafting supplies.....at less than half the price I'd pay from Amazon. Don't get me wrong, I still order things from Amazon that I can't get from Temu. Thanks for the review. FYI.....one of my duds was a mini blender. It's light, rechargable, but it's not very powerful, charge doesn't last very long, doesn't chop ice or frozen berries very well. I bought two of them...one for a friend and one for me. We both agree, it was a dud.
Your review was so thorough! Well done and thank you!
That game system was a prize during a school fundraiser. I bought it off of Amazon for dirt cheap. It absolutely works well and the battery lasted all day and was durable enough for a 7 year old. 👍🏾
Temu was a great fund for Christmas shopping this year, quickly delivered, unlike anything from Wish and definitely much better quality than crap from Wish
wish has gone downhill so much. i remember everything there used to be super cheap and it started going up after so many people online started reviewing their stuff it was crazy
@@noodlejoos Agreed. Prices have gone up and it went from being my default for cheap stuff to being deleted from my phone. Even with the $10 minimum, Temu has Wish beat.

heads up temu is malware(recent discovery in the IT space) and the peoduct are made in some of chinas most overwored sweat shops
Bought two water resistant hiking jackets for my wife and I, each was $32 or so. Honestly they are both quite nice, lots of pockets, good zippers, comfortable. Temu so far seems like what we all hoped wish would actually be. Oh yeah, the jackets came in nice ziplock style garnet bags that work well as dry bags.

@@RabbiElonMusk I agree. I am simply pointing out how unfair it is for US taxpayers to have to pay for direct ship chinese goods that cuase the postal service to incur a deficit due to China pretending to be a develping nation (considering they have the second largest economy in the world). Not only that, it impacts any sellers in the USA who have to pay more than Chinese companies to ship within the boundaries of the USA. This same inequality also applies to all "non developing" nations that have chinese product direct shipped into their country.
Fake account. Hired by Temu.
@@patland1762 Why, out of all the comments here, did you shame this particular dude? Just curious.
The "tablets" screen is of a technology type that simply needs to be refreshed all at once. That's just how it is... It's also kinda nice that such a primitive thing is ultimately packaged into a cheap, flimsy, plastic shell... it suits it well tbh. It should be a paper'esq thing, of which you just quickly use in a utilitarian way. As you'd observed, notes, whiteboard stand-in or alternative, etc. The cheapness matches its use case and novelty, which all adds up to basically a disposable, commodity level, dirt cheap, bargain bin, grab bag, yet useful and/or usable item. It's a win to me... it is what it should be.
The shoes (only other thing worth chiming in on imo)... basically Wallyworld kickers. You can get the same deals there, and on a semi wide variety of looks, of which are ultimately comprised of similar materials, feeling the same, with or w/o laces, similar weight (or lack), etc. And yeah... all around the $10 mark. . . When you just need a pair of decently comfy, maybe one time use even, whatever colored "shoes", they are often a good route to go. And most Walmarts are on your way to wherever you're heading when you happen to have the need for such a thing. I'm usually in steel toes, so when a thing like that just pops into existence, I have indeed just popped into a Walmart and got a "right now" shoe. Most of which then get used for around the house, in/outside, basement, local quick trips, etc. No need to give up your credit/debit info to Temo for such a thing, lol.
So far I've been satisfied with my purchases and delivery is much faster than Wish. Those glasses look great on you btw 😎
My kids use the board for scratch work when they do math. Saves a ton of paper. Considering the original boogie board costs us $40 when it first came out for exactly the same functionality, that's definately a deal. The original boogie board also had a non-replacable battery so once it died, it's a throw away.
Exactly!! I was hoping someone mentioned the Boogie Board. I picked one up at a closeout store for $10 and was happy. It does save a ton of paper and definitely has its uses.
Fake account. Hired by Temu.
@@wesside-333 who?
"non-replacable batter" = not a battery that can be easy replaced (but with a bit of knowledge, anyone can replace it)
@@john62841 You also had to pry open the top part of the frame to get to the battery, desolder it, and find a part that fits. I replaced the battery with a battery holder so I could change it out easier later but it took some effort to drill new holes and run patch wires to fix the circuit. It's easy if you know what you're doing but for most people, it's not gonna happen.
I have one of those thermometers and it's plenty good for the most common home cook jobs - fudge, ice cream, large meat roasts.
Things that take a long time or you can leave the thermometer in happen to be the things the thermometer is needed for. In those cases, the slow update speed isn't so bad.
I agree. I would say that a 2 dollar meat thermometer vs a 70 dollar thermometer isn't a fair fight, and that if I was just testing whether the meat was at a certain doneness .. once it its that spot, I'm done. I don't care if it is going to hit 160 if I just need to know that it hit 145. For what I'd need it for, it's definitely not a dud.
His backyard wall looks like something from a off brand horror game.... Its actually creepy
When reviewing ultra-cheap sunglasses, please do a uva/uvb test.
I'm most impressed by your daughter's drawing.
Excellent video. I'm publishing a couple of articles on Temu the coming week and will include a link to your video. Thanks James!
The LCD tablets are much more expensive in store for the exact same thing (I have many from all over) but they are great for my young kids in the car. No mess! 😊
That tablet you can pick up at a dollar tree for super cheap (Like $0.99)in their toy section. We got one for our daughter a couple years ago and it's still going strong being used nearly everyday.
I loved this one, thx. I’ve been wanting to buy something on there just to see what it’s all about. Definitely, going to check it out now. I need new laundry hampers for 6 rooms and I really don’t want to spend 100+ on laundry hampers so temu it is
I ordered Four or five of these to put on my fence and you’re right they are tiny so I’m glad you reviewed them because I’m gonna send my back you’re not big enough what I want. Thank you.
Yes!!! Love that Mandelbrot poster you have there in the background... Great video too. You have a new subscriber 🙏☮️🇬🇧
Thanks for reviewing cheap stuff so we don't have to lol. Happy New Year James.
😎 Pleasantly surprised by the sunglasses! Makes you wonder what RayBan does with that extra markup 🤔
Hello James, this is Rochelle in Texas. I'm glad your review channel pop on my screen. I've seen Temu while online shopping, but just skipped over it. But based to your reviews I will give Temu a try.
First full review I've watched in years. This guy is smooth. I think I watched the entire thing because he reminds me of John Travolta in punisher lol. Great great stuff bud
I love Temu!! To me, it's better than Wish!! I bought some clothes and at the time I got 40% off!! They were good quality for a cheap price and were shipped fast!! It depends on what product you get if it's a dud or not!! So far all the items I got were great!!
My mother in law got Me a jacket and a shirt. The shirt is see through and the jacket was advertised as a 2x but it fit my medium brother instead.
Do you resell em?
At least, Wish delivered worldwide.
Temu is US only. I live in france, and it's impossible to get delivered, nor even to checkout... US only. :/
@@franktrinidad142 I’m sorry to hear that
Your daughter's drawing of GIR was lovely! I might have to get myself one of those pads. Seems lovely for quick sketching!
That was a spectacular video from start to finish really good pacing you didn't spend too much time on any product and we got an idea of each product. Probably top 10
I’ve ordered from Temu . I understand that when you pay so little, the quality will suffer some, but I’ve been please with 99% of my purchases. I’ve gotten craft items, hair items, some household items , office items. All very good! I’m not getting paid for this, nor do I work for Temu. It’s kind of fun getting these packages in the mail!
Would love to see more Temu reviews, these things look very interesting!
Dang James, you definitely win the award for most sunglasses owned at once! Happy New Year to you and yours! 🎉🥂🥳
Most "cheap" sunglasses.
I have the erasable board and I do use it for a shopping list. I bought the sleeve to put it in. It is great!
I took a chance and ordered a Wifi extentder for $13. I had a $60 Netgear that would lose connection daily. The Temu extender has been plugged in over a month with NO problems. I am surprised. Great video. Looking forward to more.
I have a tablet like that but it has some magnets on the back and I keep it on the fridge , for notes / messages :) it's super cheap and cool
I bought some stuff off them just to try them out and I was able to get a ton on dinosaur toys and little stuff like that for my wife. She’s a teacher and she has a prize box in her room for the kids. It’s definitely a good buy for the prize box!
You lose and our country loses. Not one cent supports a worker even in a store in the USA. Even the delivery of these items within the USA rips off the post office and tax payers who have to subsidize the loss our postal service realizes with the delivery of each of these items shipped direct from China. It's call being selfish and uncaring.
@@patland1762 what makes you think that everybody commenting is American? 😂😂
That was great, you gave some pretty thorough reviews on the items. Thanks.
You have to make a video about those shoes in the summer in Vegas on the 140+ degree sidewalks. I wonder how they will hold up.
I buy from Temu myself, 3 order's so far. I got a dress that was to small and a pair of fuzzy house house slippers to small. So out of 14 item's I was pleased. I gave the dress and slippers as gifts. My gosh, your sunglass collection is huge but you can never have to many. As always thank you for the review.
Orders* items* Apostrophes aren't used to make plurals.
@@englishatheart This isn't an English class either!
The thermometer might work better with a brand new battery in it. 😊
They do have thermometers that work as instant read thermometers. I got one from them for $5, and it works really well.
the 70 dollar thermometer was about 35 times more expensive, and only 30 times as fast. id say the 2 dollar one won that competition.
It's the thermal sensor that's the problem
Nice review. I bought some and thought they are not bad at all for the price. In fact, I just ordered more even though I haven't even used the one I bought already. They kept on sending me more coupons so I couldnt resist buying more :)
These LCD writing boards are handy if you work with very sensitive data and no cell phone is allowed at your desk and no paper notes either. That's why we got them at work. I now have a different employer and still use a smaller writing board and because I use it all the time on the other side of it a foldable calculator and it helps a lot (I bought this for EUR 8 on AliExpress though).
I did get the poptop on your recommendation. I got 3 one for each of my grown sons. They like it. I just wanted to say that I have a 2 year old granddaughter. I have gotten her the fancy princess dresses from Temu, they are AWESOME. Also have gotten her clothes. All have been great at FREAT prices. I'm really happy with them.
It looks like they put 3 or 4 of the solar lights side by side in the picture.
I think they might be nice for when you want to sit outside on a patio or deck and have a little light 🥰
I just started ordering some stuff from Temu and have been pleasantly surprised. I have only one thing to add about the reviews. Some of the women who take selfies in the clothing and rave about how they love it and how perfect it is have actually caused me not to buy it. I see how terrible the article is cut on people who are not starving models and don’t want to chance it. I think just like any reviews anywhere, you have to sort through a ton of non-helpful or complete hogwash to get to the good ones. Love your channel!
I certainly enjoyed watching your review of Temu. So I subscribed.
Love that as seen on TV shirt James.
I like the game system but the screen seems to have this weird effect on vertical lines but maybe it's from the camera, not sure if you see that in person.
The headlight and flashlight are pretty cool. I'm sure the battery can be changed out for a better one.
The writing tablet is pretty neat but like you said it could have more features.
I order a lot of kitchen gadgets from Temu. I love them.

Hello. My 1st time here. Thanks for the info. I've shopped mostly for shirts at temu, mens 5 shirts and womens 10 shirts. They have been just as shown, good quality and true to size, S/ M in mens and 8/12 in womens. Baby clothes newborn to 3 months, stickers for car, rings. Also purcased a blanket also as viewed and durable. So overall im happy with my purchases
I have done allot of TEMU... I've done mostly beads, jewelry making things, small storage containers to put it all in and cheap rings and survival knives and pocket knives. I've gotten some kid's over-the-chest zipper fanny bags and pendants. I also bought some in-water flat sand art decorations. I bought many of miniature cat earnings, and a matching ring. I bought a couple necklaces that had glass. I bought many different kinds of beads. I bought several miniature knives or axes that are 3 inches tall with wooden handles. I bought key chain clips and stretchy bracelet bead elastic and end caps for making beaded bracelets like clamps and clips and end U-holds and beading needles. I've bought a needle tong set, several small tea spoons, and 2 kinds of survival or camping fork and spoon, one is plastic with a knife that fits all together and one is a solid piece of steel with a fork n spoon on either end that has bottle opener n junk. I bought a play time miniature garden tool set, two intense burner holders....I bought animal bathroom toothbrush holders. I got double sided adhesive clear tape in squares. I bought many sizes of magnets. I got a portable charger to plug into USB or my phone for my Galaxy 5 watch. I got 2 kinds of no battery flashlights, one is a grip crank and one is a spin it like a fishing rod. I bought 2 kinds of rechargeable fire starters, one for cigarettes and one that's a 2-prong electric.
Lets start with the bad: One style of Jump Rings were made out of second rate aluminum so they weren't worth it, the other style was perfectly fine. Two rings didn't look as advertised, the majority of the rings were silver plated copper (lucky I like copper), however, 4 styles out of the over 25 rings I bought were stainless and the one is sterling so they don't tarnish. With rings, if it doesn't say what it's made of then assume it's copper. I even bought 3 fidget rings, 2 with flowers and bees. The jewel fell out of one bee. (I used my melted plastic to in bed another "jewel"). My best rings had glow in the dark on them. Now the cat earnings and matching ring. They are plated copper but I use them to accent another ring or decoration or something like that. I wear them still. One of the in water sand desk decorations is holding up perfectly while the other one is becoming discolored due to the glitter they put in it and it's slowly evaporating water. The glass square one is doing great where as the round one is not. The worst one so far has been the cigarette rechargeable lighter! The only way it would recharge is if I plugged it into my computer and then every time I did it would somehow disable my keyboard!!! I Don't Know Why... Don't Know How... and then I couldn't charge it again and I gave up on it.
Lets talk about the good: The good was all the beads. The plastic container sorters, the U-hooks, elastic string, beading needles... all that stuff except the one jump ring. The key chain clips also good. The insense burners were good, but the ant one needed bending and modified so it would work properly. Plus that one is made from copper and the other one from good quality aluminum (a 2 piece 2 color turtle). The animal toothbrush holders got modified to work for holding pends at my desk. I had magnets that fit in the holes on the back where the suction cups were meant to go. I used that double sided tape to hold them into the holes and it works really well! The tacked the magnets to my desk and they pull away if needed. I love them! The survival spoon n fork and tea spoons work really well and are cute and are steal or good quality. The charger for my watch works great and is compact and fits into my purse. But the thing I'm most impressed with was the larger survival knives and pocket knives. They came sharp and are great quality. I was very choosy and tried to get ones with full tang and wood handles and leather sheath, unless I wanted the plastic sheath to strap to my camping bag. Several of these were $10 or less and if I had bought them here would have cost over $50 easy. The miniature knives and axes aren't just cute and gimmick... they are sharp! They are cute too. The child size over the shoulder bag I use everyday after a few modifications for sturdiness and comfort for all day wear. I keep many of my smaller survival knives in it and my hand crank no battery flashlights. A mini bug out bag I'm always wearing. The Two-prong electric rechargeable lighter works perfectly!
Great review and I will look to see if I can find it in the UK and how prices compare to the US. I do think the sunglasses look good and I think they suited you.
A bit timely, nice. I fearfully purchased some Christmas presents from them. Was surprised by the quality, especially with the price and free shipping. We will see how long they last (they were plush dolls).
Im waiting for my items to arrive. I park them on the cart for a few days before buying. I noticed some items were reduced in price. I bought a total of about $70. But lots of small kitchen items mainly. I did vet only items I would really need because hubby and I are seniors and I downsized to a much smaller space. But the prices are too reaonable for me to resist so it remains to be seen if I judged wisely on the quality. Thanks for sharing your experience with Temu. It seems that its so aggresive in its advertizing everywhere these days.
Love those LCD tablets, I use them for shopping lists. Put 4 on my fridge; Cold (blue), Frozen(white), Non-Refrigerated(Red), Cleaning/other (Green); Then I take a picture and have my shopping list for the store. Press the erase button and start over. Edit: Boogie Board did come out with one that had/has an app that kind of works and is kind of neat, had bluetooth so it would send over what you drew on the tablet to your phone and save it as a PDF or JPG. Want to say it was the Boogie Board Scribe.
I've been buying up their stuff: winter gloves, decent. Power bank, great. Phone tripod, good. Car dash phone holder, good. Headlamp, good. Earphone, decent.
Overall not a bad spot to buy cheap stuff on. They are the American subsidiary of PinDuoDuo.
I bought the same flashlight he tested. It works good, especially for the price. I bought 3 sweaters for my Wife, she loves them. Quality seems really good. I bought a couple battery powered tire pumps. Very slow, but they still work. Best if uses just to add a few PSI to your tire. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the products
imo power banks are not a great place to try to save a buck. Cheap lithium batteries are time bombs. Just make sure you don't leave it in a hot car or under your pillow at least :)
It's a US company that's a subsidiary of a Chinese company
I have been ordering from Temu and everything I got has been great 👍🏽
@@patland1762 I hear you loud and clear. I felt guilty doing it so I stopped months ago. But I was just sharing when I did buy stuff from there it was cheap but well made. Unfortunately it is China our worst enemy and this world is going to get worse. So yes I stopped.
Ive bought a few things on there and been keeping it pretty simple but so far I have loved everything I've bought, my nephews both loved the mini screwdriver set and i love the Digital Caliper i bought both at great prices , have also bought some Arduino sensors that are great.
So glad I found your channel. I am waiting for my first order to arrive. I only spent a little over $10 . I was worried that was money wasted but after watching your review and the comments I am no longer concerned.
I get stuff from Temu all the time. Haven’t been disappointed yet and if you’re going test these things let’s go with wish and Temu just to make it fair.
Same here. I discovered them right before the holidays, so I went all out. Very happy with them.
If you buy Temu you are supporting Slave labor in the worst of ways 🤦yes most companies use slave labor but companies like Temu and shein take slave labor to a whole new level and obviously the workers get paid next to nothing. Take pride in your slave labor products
@@nickt2559 go away
People hate facts 🤷buy stuff cheap who cares about the slave labor workers who get paid next to nothing
@@nickt2559slave labor, it’s 2023, people use machines and ai my gosh😅
Like you said in the video, some of the stuff isnt the highest quality but the expectations should be lowered given the prices. I pretty much agreed with all your conclusions except for the tablet which I see as a firm deal, not on the fence. Its a stocking filler item at that pirce and I would have loved that as a child.
Hey James, I've watched you review a lot of sunglasses but, I think its important to take impact resistance into account. While the primary function is to filter light, more expensive sunglasses protect your eyes from impact as well. Many people wear sunglasses while using tools or yardwork. Cheaper sunless use cheap lenses that wont protect your eyes if something kicks up and hits them. Would be cool to see you flinging a pebble or some bb's at lenses in the future.
I’m sure for that price they are not polycarbonate , UV, or polarized lens. Probably cheap plastic lenses. So if protection for your eyes is important I would not buy.
The bootleg video game through the TV looked great. For 10 bucks, too. Wow. I do know about the wiped game data in some, if not all, of the mini emulators. Thanks for another batch, take care
