      its more work to clean out the device than just straight up washing the dishes yourself by hand. its like pushing your car around to travel so you save gas, just easier to walk without the car or just drive. get a normal dishwasher instead.

    • @gaylec258
      @gaylec258 Год назад +4

      The part that got me, was having to have the water running the whole time. Seems like a big waste. For the small amount of dishes you would probably use this on, it would be easier to fill a medium sized bowl and wash them in it.

    • @Tricia_K
      @Tricia_K Год назад +2

      That would be me, then! But no, this really does look to be more trouble than its worth, far trickier even than doing dishes by hand, which is something I struggle with on the daily as one of my hands grips but little else, and both are weak, ditto both arms - but there is a silver lining, in that this otherwise useless bit of tat could definitely come in handy for encouraging hand puns! ;) Could anyone here help...?

    • @MrMega200
      @MrMega200 Год назад +1

      It's just too much effort for the experience because this is an extra thing to clean and those brushes are going to break down with use and not be usable. Not to mention possible mold. A tabletop dishwasher is just better for the use case and will last forever in comparison.

    If you want a long-lasting air seat cushion that are refillable, I recommend Roho Mosaic Cushion. I bought one for my dad's wheel chair and he likes it more than the cheapo foam one. I tried it and like it so much that I also bought one for myself. It is on an expensive side but for what you're getting, it's worth it.

A little short but I'm 5'9" so that's not surprising. Oh also got a bunch of scarves and been happy with all of those but they only halfway count as clothes.

    So I learned a long time ago when I see a gadget and my mind says its easier to just do it this other way that its likely the product wasnt made with me in mind. So the robotic dishwasher. I do not have nor want a dishwasher. I personally think using that myself would be more work and fuss than just doing the dishes the way I do them. BUT I have full dexterity of my hands and wrists. So maybe it would be super helpful for someone with limited motion or a issue with touching water or soap. Or even someone with a grip issue or sensitive skin that doesnt do well if wet often. Many people have these issues and I am glad something may be out there for them

  • @coolguyhino92
    @coolguyhino92 Год назад

    Quick note on toasters:
    On cheaper ones, the timer is NOT a minute timer. Each number is a heat setting to heat up a piece of metal. Once it's heated to a certain point, it disengages.
    So test the darkness on every new toaster, as most are slightly different on the actual times. (ie. level 1 will not last a full minute)
    However, high-end toasters (like the gourmet one, or most toaster that have 4 slots(Think of toasters at hotels or bed & breakfasts. Those kind)) are more or less accurate minute timers.
    So make sure you know what one you buy, as most people just buy any replacement without knowing.

    I am curious as to reviews on coffee makers. I've got a Keurig coffee maker that makes a half pot, or full pot, or a single cup. She's got this clock on it that doesn't even allow me to set it up to brew a pot of coffee. Yet I don't set it after a power outage it won't let me brew brain go juice. And still there's the five buttons I've got to push just to put the kettle on.
