      I think the issue is that a lot of online companies are just producing overpriced, gimmicky products. The ones that actually would be of benefit should be marketing to this. They don't, so you can rightly assume they're pointless products designed purely for lazy, cashed up people. It's the manufacturers job to recognise the need and advertise it as such. Otherwise, any benefits discovered are by sheer accident or necessity on behalf of the buyer. Why should anyone notice the benefits unless they're disabled, work in disability services, or manufacturer the product.

      Like I can see the trash can and paper towel dispenser being useful, especially for someone with disabilities(spoons mean being able to just lift the lid and it's ready to take out would be a godsend), but the cost is insane. I also haven't finished the video yet to see how well anything works. The printer could also be useful I suppose but again way too much money.

    The trash can one would be really helpful for people with mobility issues! The small size is a *little* inconvenient simply because one household generates a LOT of trash, but having it automatically seal itself closed and refill the bag for you would seriously help some people who struggle with basic tasks like that. Same with the paper towel dispenser! (Also I, too, would buy the label-maker 😂Evan's joy is shared on that one)

    14:58 That product was a lint/fluff/pilling remover originally so it’s actually doing what it was designed for. They’re at least 30 years old. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was a part of an old, old, old textile manufacturing machine and some worker had an idea and made one for home use.

    Tip for catching scorpions: They cannot see clear glass, so put a large/tall drinking glass over them. Then slide some cardstock/paperboard underneath. If you tap them from behind with the wall of the glass, they will run forward onto the paperboard. Then you can move them glass and all. I typically flip the glass right side up and give the paperboard a tap. They will then fall to the bottom of the glass and won't be able to climb up the glass wall. This makes for safest transportation. I get Arizona Bark scorpions in my home every summer, so this method helps me a lot.
    P.S. Mosquitoes also cannot see clear glass, so this method works well for catching them as well when they are lurking on your bathroom wall. With your hand at a distance because you are holding the end of the glass, they will not fly away. You can also use something flimsier like a paper towel instead of paperboard for them.

    A good use for the automated garbage can would be for disposing kitty litter. Also a good name for the paper towel dispenser would be Pierre.

    Evan just pissing himself laughing at Katelyn’s utter disbelief with his purchases is hilarious and I’m here for it . 😂❤

    I feel the need to let the video run on auto repeat in the background so that E&K don´t go bankrupt.
    But the gadgets are cool and I love your guys excitement :D
