    Thank You AGAIN for the review on the transparent sticky notes. I have bought three separate packs last year and use them so often. I am currently in nursing school and they come in so handy for notes in my books. The different colors help me to organize what type of information each color means. I have had ZERO issues with pen marks wiping off or fading. No issues either with the adhesives losing their grip. Thank you so much for introducing me to the transparent sticky notes. I never knew I needed something so much until I watched your video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

      Never buy expensive drip coffee makers! They're all the exact same brewing technology inside. The only thing expensive makers have over a cheap $10 one is what is essentially an alarm clock.
      Never go over $30! It's a scam!

      Not trying to 1 up you... I'm an espresso drinker. I bought a beautiful espresso machine on a Black Friday sale and paid 325.00. My expectations were high because that was a big $$ splurge for me. It did make delicious espresso & lattes.
      I am not exaggerating when I tell you the machine died on day 93 precisely 3 days after the warranty ran out.
      So I bought a "cheap" one for $120 almost 3 years later and it's still working perfectly.

    • @Anthony-yv5jc
      @Anthony-yv5jc Год назад +3

      As much as people love to boast about how long their cheap gadgets last, I don't believe price is the root of the problem. Either you got a defective unit, or the brand/model you chose was not good.

    No joke, i have a black (special edition?) version of the Cuisinart coffee maker that is going on 18 years old now.
    The carafe has "made in Germany " etched behind the handle .
    The design has persisted 2 decades, abd with a little maintenance, has had no issues.

    Seeing the broken toaster I thought if you could also include breakdowns and malfunctions of equipment that you continued to use in your videos (maybe as part of these updates). I mean an update after one year is great to see the long term utility of the products, but I'd also like to get some info at the longevity of the products. Because I would be mad if my 300$ kitchen equipment would only last one or two years of regular use.

    Coffee drinkers currently are of the opinion, that a proper drip coffee maker should have a thermos-like coffee vessel which will keep its temperature naturally, rather than a heated pan to constantly reheat the drink. They say, constant reheating "burns" the coffee because of temp. fluctuations which do not happen in a thermos.

    The update videos let us know if it's an actually good product or just a novelty that seems good. We all have products we use that we initially love, but end up rarely using. Sometimes that's because they don't have a use all the time, and sometimes it's because the novelty wears off.

    If you want to scramble eggs in the shell you can cut the sleeve off an old long-sleeve shirt. Tie or sew one end shut, then put the egg inside and, while holding one end with each hand, spin it in front of you. The motion you make is similar to a hammock, if a hammock went so fast it spun upside down.

    Ron Popeil (Ronco) made an egg scrambler (battery powered) around 1965 to 1967. It worked amazingly well. It was a bent needle that rotated at a pretty good speed inside the egg. It didn't have a guard, but made the likes of me, not have to look at the white connective tissue attaching the yolk to the white (clear).

    I have the same bag dispenser for years now. Unfortunately my adhesive failed long ago and I had to screw it in. Luckily it's mounted inside the cabinet so the adhesive damage doesn't show. Aside from the adhesive failing and making marks, I use it almost everyday for doggie bags. I just recommend adhesive to the inside of a cabinet or use the mounting hardware.

    I love waffles 🧇 with butter and honey and peanut butter for breakfast. But I just use frozen waffles and my cheap $12 Walmart toaster. It has 1 feature: Popup when done according to the level dial from 1 to 7. Levels 3 to 5 are good for waffles, but level 7 works ok if you like your waffles very brown and dry. Level 7 does set off the smoke alarm with raisin bread :-)

    James, I would like to know more about the venues in Las Vegas by you. I live a few hours away so I go to Vegas on occasion, but not all the time. Are there any places you think I should check out either on my own or with family? I'm going to avoid Vegas during Formula One, but is all the work they're doing for it going to remain in place? With this change The Strip? What do you think of The Sphere/Dome thing? I understand you've been to at least one of the sports arenas, would you avoid any of them? Any other major changes coming to Las Vegas that I might want to plan a trip around or avoid? If you don't want to go into reviewing those types of things, who do you suggest?

    I was actually wondering about those car waffle makers because, as with most people interested in such a product, I have a car-obsessed toddler. Maybe we'll give that a try. Although it might encourage a little too much playing with his food... 🤔
    Ah, well, you only live once, right? 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

    would love to see some overlap between Project Farm's reviews and your long term reviews.

    The extra wide as well as the regular rear view mirror would both have the headrest/driver problem! Therefore, you can see more, but not as perfect as the ad!

    Does the cloud key magnet hold? 3 sets of keychains? Cuz you're original that you threw up as a highlight on this video. He had one big set of keys on a keychain. It look like it wouldn't hold three if people had bulky keys. Two while using each end or then you had that small one for your mailbox. But good invention

    You should review grind and brew coffee makers.

    Best thing I've found for pizza reheating is an Air Fryer. We basically call it a pizza reheater as a result haha
