    Bought those vent covers about 5 years ago. People love them. Also, I’m not adjusting my vents nonstop so I cut them to where my vents stay. They match well with the red leather seats.

      @@thehouseofjacquelyn.4444 I bought my car over 6 years ago. Got tints at 20/30 percent within first 2 months. Windshield Is slightly less tinted. Got the vent covers maybe 6 months after tints. Color is the same as when I bought it. Not even faded the slightest. Maybe it’s the tints. Maybe they are different. I paid like $2 total and did 4 different vents. So…TL;dr… mine are still good. Still have extra pieces in my center console and they look identical. Very cool update for almost no money. I recommend getting them if you like the look.

    For the mirror phone holder, in my state you would get a ticket for driving with something hanging from your mirror since it blocks your view while driving if someone was crossing the street or a child running out.

    Just a note…in VA it is illegal to have stuff hanging from the mirror, and having an air freshener will get you in trouble, too, because it’s obviously intended to hide the smell of drugs or alcohol (eye roll).
    Nothing on the dash or vents, or hanging off the rear view mirror, or on the glass except required stickers.

Makes the A/C feel fresher and colder to me, and it won't drain your battery if left on accidentally. It will refuse to come on if the inside is too hot until it cools down a bit - but I still love this gizmo.

Normally you would suck the exces product with a sock or stocking over a vacuum cleaner, so you can reuse it. Flock, grass and so on is crazy expensive so you don't want to waste anything. Now I have a mini vac in my drawer ready instead of getting the large one. Since I don't ever use it to random vacuuming, there is nothing else in there than the product I want te retrieve. I think it's better suited for this than to use in a car or so.

    The auto fan seems like a great idea until you realize you have to put it on your window and that means it would have to be made with your car's specific windows in mind so it would fit flush and actually suck the hot air out of the car. I would redesign it so it's like the key lockboxes on the cars at the dealership that use thin metal clips. You'd use the metal around the window as a heat sink and radiate heat out of the car using the fan. That would probably work much better. You could also use a piezoelectric heat sink to get the heat out much better. Sure it would be more expensive but it would WORK.

    • @lasskinn474
      @lasskinn474 2 года назад +1

      you mean a peltier? the problem with sinking the heat out is that the car gets like 500w-3kw of heat into it if it's sitting in sunlight. pumping that with a heat pump of any kind while it's sitting in the sun would need all of the car covered in solar panels (or getting power from the engine)
      really best place would probably be somewhere where the car vents out air out of normally, in the boot or something. maybe something that just has it's own battery that charges when the car is driven. then you could leave the windows closed.
      also the design is kinda stupid with the solar panel being inside the window, as the window is designed to filter everything but visible light(to among other things reduce how hot it gets inside)

    I had one of the original auto fans. I felt they did help only slightly. When compared to leaving it with and without it on various days. It did help for stuffiness.

    At last, I’ve been waiting to see the Mirror phone holder, I didn’t buy one because I thought it would be in the way, but after seeing this I’ll get one, nice one.

    I have the vent covers! Mine are in blue. They're a little tricky to put on but once you do, I really like how they look. I never move around my vents so it doesn't matter to me that it hinders that.

    Them coloured vents covers work well if the slide bit that's on urs some have a circle/disc type mechanism built into the dash like underneath or at the side and the directional left to right fin is behind the vent cover so could work

    Maybe the solar fan needs to be reimagined. Use it in a south or west facing window to move warm air around a room in the house to help warm in the winter months. It shuts off at night so that's good because the windows get cold with out solar radiation.

    Wouldn't that car freshener be a distraction when driving? Vacuum is not worth the price for what you get. I would get a dust buster or something like that.

    I use a similar mirror clip-on phone holder. It holds very well. I use it to hold an old retired smartphone running Droid Dashcam. If you think about it could you do a comparison of dashcam software? I like droid dashcam but have no idea how it compares to others.

    My Prius has a built in "Auto Fan". It needs to keep the hybrid battery cool and has a solar panel on the roof. It makes a noticeable difference compared to cars parked around me.

    I've purchased those car vents b4, actually have em on my car now, they look real good. But if you attach anything to the vent it will remove the tabs. all in all it's still a cool thing if you want to bling the inside of your car.

    I love that vacuum cleaner! I hate trying to find somewhere that I can vacuum the car without needing a coin from a car wash first, so rarely do I vacuum the car. I have a new car now and I've been the only person in it, but I still want to clean the driver side. Might pick this up.
    Actually...my mom might want this as well. She drives a lot for work and her car...has seen cleaner days 😅. Might make it part of her Christmas presents :)

    I have a question about the Mirror Phone Holder. It seems every car phone holder cannot be opened wide enough to hold an iPhone in a protective case such as my Otterbox. Do you happen to know if this one does? Thanks in advance for your answer and for your reviews. Very helpful!

    Another great video, James! I really appreciate all the things you demonstrate for us!
    I think the air freshener would distract me while I was driving, plus I'd be afraid the scent is too strong. I am going to order the vent covers just like the ones you had because the exterior of my car is red. I've used something like the visor clips before and have always ended up breaking them. The mirror phone holder looks like it works great, but having anything hanging down under the mirror is illegal in many states because of the vision it blocks while driving. I bought a different new car vac 2 weeks ago that works pretty well. I have a car inflator, but the one you showed is smaller and looked like it worked pretty well. The auto fan isn't worth the effort or risk of rain damage.

    The phone holder can cause all kinds of problem with view and mirrors falling off off of old cars. We all know what a pain that is make sure you sell that with disclaimer of liability. Thanks for the work you do cheers.

    You can buy an air compressor that works off the car battery for the same price as that tire inflator, and it would be much more sensible, since there's no need for charging.

    • @jdjd7127

      Or for like a hundred dollars more a whole battery jump pack tire inflator etc in case ur battery goes dead in ur car as well

      @litigioussociety4249 2 года назад

      @@jdjd7127 If you're car won't start, then inflating the tires really won't matter; not to mention, you can use someone else's car to run it. I would agree though that a compressor or a battery booster is a much better investment for about the same money, or both for twice as much.

    The only product that I would get is the air pump,
    but I got a similar one that is DC powered for my local hardware store for $8.
    Who's going to pay $80 for the Fanttik X8? There are much cheaper options, and there a tire air pump at most gas stations.

    I bought the rear-view mirror phone holder and here are the problems for me:
    1. The phone must be in landscape (horizontal) configuration. You'll see in the video that James tries at first to make it portrait (vertically) but realizes it doesn't work and makes it horizontal. If you try to insert it vertically the phone hits up against the bottom of the mirror.
    2. The clamps that hold the sides of the phone press the buttons on the side of the phone. So the volume and power button buttons are constantly getting pushed when you put the phone in the cradle.
    It would have been perfect if the arm holding the phone was twice as long to give more distance between the top of the phone and the mirror. Also if the cradle had a bottom support as well as the two side supports so that the phone wasn't getting pinched so hard right where the buttons are.

    That phone holder that goes on the mirror is illegal in many states. Just a heads up. I think it’s called “obstructed view” your not suppose to hang anything on your mirror. A lot of people don’t know that.
