    We bought a cheap $15 brand new coffee maker from our local Bi-Mart store. We used it everyday for 3 years before it crapped out. My $80 coffee maker lasted 3 months..

    • @dscyrux
      @dscyrux Год назад

      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 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.

    • @NEEDbacon
      @NEEDbacon Год назад +4

      @@Anthony-yv5jc Maybe that's the case, but when you're dropping big money on an item, you expect it to last. It's maybe not the most sound logic, but it's still a logic.

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

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?

    On that one item you were using for the microwave potato cooker the red one, and for one thing you put it on to long you were so post to put it on for only 4 minutes no longer than that and my baked potato 🥔 came out really soft, take my advice I know because I own one of those and I give it 5 stars for sure
