I LOVE how you take Baileys feelings into consideration as well! That dopey anti-shed suit..when you said "Bailey doesn't look happy, I'd rather have hair in the house then have her unhappy" that hit home..and the bug zapper scaring her, lol..aww!
Not saying that I would use it because it looks so stupid. But if you're a person whose dog wears sweaters or you make your dog wear it for a while they might get used to it. My dog absolutely hated both her collar and her harness when I first put them on her. But now she'll run right over when I get her harness and tell her to get dressed.
It's been a year already??? It doesn't seem that long since the Golden Good Girl modeled those long johns LOL. I never get tired of seeing Bailey. "I'd rather have fur in my house than have you unhappy." You are almost as good a reviewer as you are doggy dad :-)
Re: Stainless steel soap, I just use the inside of my stainless steel kitchen sink. No onion/garlic smell after I rub my hands. Didn't cost me anything either.
@Freakin' Reviews Thanks for the updates, James! I started off watching 4 or 5 different kitchen and household products review channels a couple of years ago, but you're the only one I still watch. I respect that you look at the instructions, and *wash* kitchen items before using them. Sorry that you're missing travel. Stay safe! Wishing you and your loved ones safety, peace, and as much lighthearted laughter as you can get in these crazy times. Love, from Canada 💕🇨🇦
What was that? LOL, so strange looking. I watched those parts several times and couldn't decide if there was really a tiger suited person in that car, or if it was an odd reflection.
Who'd have thought that an expensive tech gadget that "promotes relaxation and well being" didn't end up being useful? But now I can put that $300 you saved me towards a Juicero.
The only reviewing channel i love watching this guys really puts efforts in i always say "oh what if he did that or this " and i find out while watching that he thought about it and included it in his video with updates for more accuracy really thank you for making these videos you're saving lives during this quarantine
I think of these as "clip shows" like TV shows used to do. I get weirdly nostalgic; "I remember when he reviewed that!" Bailey in the cap is gold. Hope you and yours are weathering the covid storm well!
Thanks, James! I really appreciate your great videos! My go to can opener is a plug-in countertop Hamilton Beach smooth/side cut. I’ve been using it for about 8 years now with no problems. A cool thing is that the lid can be put back on a partially used can with an airtight seal. I don’t have to dirty a plastic container to put it in my refrigerator.
Some great gadgets! I might invest in the nostalgia snow cone maker for my granddaughters. I actually bought the super sponge mat after your original review and I love it!
Its funny that the bag clips are the one thing he didn't keep using from that episode. It seems like the thing he was most excited about. I was actually thinking about getting some because I hate when I put the bags down to open the gate and I can't get them all back onto my hand again.
Your love for bailey is beautiful! You've got a product that works but you don't want to use it cause it scares bailey. So sweet! Also love your videos so much, great reviews! Love from the Uk
I actually bought the metal straws and groceries hooks at your recommendation. Extremely happy with both. The straws stay clean long time, not hard to clean when not, never break. Only took a short while to get over the fear of stabbing myself in the eye. I live in an upstair apartment. You and the grocery hooks have saved me hours climbing from my truck to my door. It's funny how little things that cost almost nothing, can become so useful. Thanks.
I bought the steel bar of soap just because of your info about the product . I work with spices all day every day and this bar has really helped to remove the onion and garlic smell from my hands .
Now THIS was a useful video. Consider how to “prescreen” dumb gadgets to achieve a higher success rate of those worth reviewing, those most likely to succeed. Based on your experience, we welcome your opinion about gadgets probably not worth testing so you can focus on testing only the most promising gadgets. Your product comparisons are the most helpful for us.
Love these updates! I needed a doormat. I decided on the Super Sponge, based on your review. I have been very happy with it. Even my "oh so particular" daughter likes it! A little side bonus for me, it matches the tile in my foyer perfectly! Thanks! Stay safe!!
I know you didn't use it much, but I think the car mattress could be handy if you do a lot of road tripping - you could pull over at a rest stop and take a quick nap and drive safer - or possibly for dogs. Or, tbh, if you're homeless.
I don't usually go for "gadgets," but am occaisionally tempted to buy. I really appreciate this one year later review, as "will I still be using it in a year?" is a great criteria for how usefull a product is- otherwise it's just taking up storage space. (There's an "as seen on tv" french-fry cutter in my cupboard that has seen a lot of action over the past 7 years, and I dread the day it breaks.)
I always appreciate these follow up videos to see how useful these items are over time. It seems like your graveyard must be filling up as most items reviewed recently did not get much use.
My dogs are afraid of a bug zapper too. I had to get rid of it, because they wouldn't go out on the patio to relieve themselves when it was on. Scared them and like you, my dogs' comfort comes first.
Those glasses are brilliant! Need to get some for me and my father. My dad always keeps his reading glasses in a case with his phone so that's a perfect match!
For that air cooler it is your basic fan powered evaporative cooler aka a swamp cooler. It can drop temps but only by a few degrees. If you want an explaimstion video Technology Connections uploaded as video today talking about those personal coolers. Other than that you never said if you actually tried those blue lenses again? Does it help? Do.l you get used to it? Great videos, love to the family including Bailey.
full size swamp coolers can do much better if the air is dry like in the desert upwards of 40F cooler central air is still better as swamp coolers are for poor people...
My dad uses that first one in the can opener line, the handy can? He only has use of one hand and loves the thing. I myself adore my fur wizard. This year so far the wow bacon is WAY out front for product of the year in my book.
I have those car LED strips (or ones almost identical) in two different vehicles and the best way to install them is with the cables running hidden under the car door sill then up from behind the steering column or glovebox for the driver's and passenger's sides respectively. That way the cables are well hidden and tucked away and they end up coming in from above instead of below the foot well so they don't get in the way of your feet.
We had a large zapper like that one and we couldn't run it when our long hair Chihuahua was in the house (we used it in summer when flies came in) - he definitely didn't like it. We thought it must have made a high sound that we couldn't hear, because he didn't like it even when it wasn't zapping! Interesting that Bailey didn't like it either!
You know what is a nostalgic snow cone maker for me is the original Snoopy and Woodstock snow cone maker. Has anyone else ever owned one of those? It has a snow cone grinder in the middle that you turn by hand with the crank and then there is Snoopy outside laying on his doghouse and leaning up against the dog house is a little red shovel that looks like a snow shovel and it's made so you could scoop out the snow cones. I used to love that thing when I was little.
We put a Monster Zapper in our kitchen on top of the fridge and it works awesome keeping the bugs down especially the Flies. I hate Flies in my house. They just won't leave you alone. Then the added bonus being in the Kitchen is it keeps the Fruit Flies dead on arrival.
honestly I've been using the airwirl to cool down my pc when I had to get a replacement fan and even after it was replaced,it worked pretty well and I still use it for a quicker cool down if I run it for too long working,it was pretty good because i used the tube to angle directly onto the hottest components
I don’t own a computer so my Bluetooth keyboard is everything to me! Hooks up to my phone easily and quickly! I can’t remember the brand I got, I think it’s Logitech (something like soft touch, or similar) and cost a whopping $80 but totally worth it. Have used it for about 5 years and have only needed to charge it once. Thank you for reminding me about my sno-come maker! Totally forgot I had one and the days are quite hot here in Colorado! Always look forward to your videos! Many thanks!
James, I suspect that this point was probably made to you on the original review, but the "Monster Trapper" is NOT supposed to zap bugs ... it's supposed to trap them so that they eventually dry out and die. I have a superior version of that concept (made by Dynatrap) that works phenomenally well! I have a 1-acre unit in the backyard and a 1/2-acre unit in the front - couldn't be happier with them! The "Monster Zapper" probably worked better than the "Trapper" because it appears to have a brighter and larger light. Of course, the fact that Bailey is afraid of it is a game changer... ;-)
for the grocery bag holder clips, what I do, and what I have done for a long time, is take an extra bag or 2, after bagging my groceries at self check out, and place em in my back, drive home, open trunk, then I take the extra bag, pull it into a rope'ish form, and just tie it throw the bag handles of my groceries, leaving enough room for 3-4 fingers or so, and that's worked for me for a very long time.
I wonder did you ever try that smaller bug zapper on its own? Being low wattage doesn't necessarily mean bad.... but if the other if just more juiced/shows it more, then yeah of course they'd go to the bigger one, but like you said it scared bailey. Maybe the smaller one is quieter? IF you hadn't noticed you had even caught some. I think it'd be worth a shot on its own so there's no blazing vegas lights to distract em
I bought a couple of flimsy little phone stands that are similar and 3D printed. I use one every day, they are so very handy. I paid less than a dollar for each of them.
Kudos to you for being one dedicated reviewer. Showing a year after use is extremely helpful.
He is a professional. I have been watching him for many moons. 😁
Yes definitely, always nice to see if a product actually works long term
Totally agree.
The scoop straws remind me of the Slurpie
@Arrow Head I think it was meant in a good way.
I never realized how addicted to this guys channel i was until I remembered watching every single one of the original reviews in this update video
Bailey looked like she was suffering in those red long Johns. 🐕
She’s not a LuLuLemon kinda girl.
I LOVE how you take Baileys feelings into consideration as well! That dopey anti-shed suit..when you said "Bailey doesn't look happy, I'd rather have hair in the house then have her unhappy" that hit home..and the bug zapper scaring her, lol..aww!
Renee Brady same!!!
Not to mention that it looks like a real hassle to put on the dog...
Not saying that I would use it because it looks so stupid. But if you're a person whose dog wears sweaters or you make your dog wear it for a while they might get used to it.
My dog absolutely hated both her collar and her harness when I first put them on her. But now she'll run right over when I get her harness and tell her to get dressed.
I'd rather have fur on my furniture than make bailey unhappy..feels😍
It's been a year already??? It doesn't seem that long since the Golden Good Girl modeled those long johns LOL. I never get tired of seeing Bailey. "I'd rather have fur in my house than have you unhappy." You are almost as good a reviewer as you are doggy dad :-)
Re: Stainless steel soap, I just use the inside of my stainless steel kitchen sink. No onion/garlic smell after I rub my hands. Didn't cost me anything either.
I use a stainless steel spoon or one of my measuring cups. They work great!
Other than the cost of your house!
I have an idea for a video you might make, top five items if they were to break I would buy again
Good idea, i would watch that
@Freakin' Reviews Thanks for the updates, James! I started off watching 4 or 5 different kitchen and household products review channels a couple of years ago, but you're the only one I still watch.

This channel is really the golden standard for product reviews. So thorough and professional yet always enjoyable and funny.
I swear it looks like someone's in the other car wearing a tiger suit. 😂
What was that? LOL, so strange looking.
I watched those parts several times and couldn't decide if there was really a tiger suited person in that car, or if it was an odd reflection.
i was scrolling to see if anyone else saw that! (at 10:15)
It's his own reflection but it's still odd how it reflects off his camera to both his car window and car next to him car's window😂💩😂
@@richiethev4623 i thought that at first but he doesn't have black stripes on his shirt. and the other person moves different at different times
@@kn3765 I suspect it's the polarisation on the windows being slightly offset.
Love seeing the updates like this, and SICK Mutemath shirt at 5:21! It's always good to see Bailey too. Thanks for more fun content!
That's a great band!
Who'd have thought that an expensive tech gadget that "promotes relaxation and well being" didn't end up being useful? But now I can put that $300 you saved me towards a Juicero.
and you'll never look back baby. sipping juice bags like a king
@@clipsedrag13 😂😂😂

Bailey looks about as happy as my dog Star does wearing her Thundershirt during fireworks or thunderstorms!
Came for the reviews, stayed for the reviews, but mostly here for the Bailey content! She’s too adorable😍
I think of these as "clip shows" like TV shows used to do. I get weirdly nostalgic; "I remember when he reviewed that!"
Bailey in the cap is gold. Hope you and yours are weathering the covid storm well!
I've used the metal straws, & metal soap bar for years. Love them!
Thanks, James! I really appreciate your great videos! My go to can opener is a plug-in countertop Hamilton Beach smooth/side cut. I’ve been using it for about 8 years now with no problems.

I love that I’ve watched all these, great work, James! Keep going and thanks

I think he gets surprised pretty often by gadgets he thinks will stink, but turn out working.
Dmoke
I see where you're coming from, but I think that part of what makes this channel so fun is seeing these gadgets fail spectacularly.
Wow i dident even know that you did this 1yr things!! Keep it up man!
I'll do my best! Thanks!
10:15 Tony the tiger sitting in the car next to you in the passenger seat???? LMAO
I honestly love your reviews
I love your videos you have so much passion and I can’t say that about many people lately
"I'd rather have fur in my house then have you (Bailey) unhappy" Omg love that statement! True dog love ♥️
But not gotten lie, she does look cute though.
Thanks for the update on the previous items that you made and the ones you continued to use.
Love to see a new video
Love the vids to survive lockdown
Love these updates! I needed a doormat. I decided on the Super Sponge, based on your review. I have been very happy with it. Even my "oh so particular" daughter likes it! A little side bonus for me, it matches the tile in my foyer perfectly! Thanks! Stay safe!!
Those look like my steel straws. I put a silicone tip on mine.
That’s a great idea about putting a silicone tip on it... I don’t like using the metal straws (even though they’re better than the plastic ones...)
Ice-towel-hammer, there's your ice for a snow cone.....LOL. Learned that from my grandmother.
Thanks! That is actually a really fun idea!
I know you didn't use it much, but I think the car mattress could be handy if you do a lot of road tripping - you could pull over at a rest stop and take a quick nap and drive safer - or possibly for dogs. Or, tbh, if you're homeless.
Always enjoyed your work. Your doing a great job. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

I really love these videos especially, actually getting a second take on the item is really damn useful.
at 8:40 i thought there was a tiger mascot in the car next to you for a second lmao.
I really love watching you review stuff. You're the review king.
I always appreciate these follow up videos to see how useful these items are over time. It seems like your graveyard must be filling up as most items reviewed recently did not get much use.
The fact you can use regular ice makes it better than most. The kind I'm not fond of are the ones that give a mold to freeze.
Finally!! I been waiting for the next 10 updates !! Love these
I really appreciate your update videos, good follow through! Thank you.
My dogs are afraid of a bug zapper too. I had to get rid of it, because they wouldn't go out on the patio to relieve themselves when it was on. Scared them and like you, my dogs' comfort comes first.
Your reviews and content 👌
Love the narrative...the 0 waste of my time style 😁😁😁😁😁
Really awesome
Thank you 👍
Really like all your videos james especially the longer videos soo entertaining to watch keep up the good work 🙂
Bailey: "Dad dresses me funny sometimes and talks to himself a lot but I love him!" Lol
I'd rather have fur in my house and have you happy. Aww we love you Bailey.
I really want to see you review the cube pillow
Thank you! That snow cone thing, does look really cool! Lots of fun stuff though. :)
I have the Black and Decker hands free ,Love it ,going strong since 2008
Yeah mine is about that old and still going strong.
These are some of the best videos of yours!
Those glasses are brilliant! Need to get some for me and my father. My dad always keeps his reading glasses in a case with his phone so that's a perfect match!
By far the single best review channel

I bought a pair of thinoptics when I needed readers. It sits in my bag nicely.
I love your videos!! I have that Black and Decker can opener and I love it!!
Love these update videos💜
I love these!. I still love my bamboo towels! Lol I know that it isn't the same but I do love them.
Bailey is lucky to have you. Your a good poppa
I always enjoy these follow-ups 👍
+1 for the AriWhirl, if only for the Match Game Reference! I love watching that show!

Hey hey, I have a 20+ year old Black & Decker electric can opener that is still going, love it!
I have a Hamilton beach can opener that I Love.
Definitely need a million subscribers, your video quality is too good man

For shaved ice I'll just continue to use my Snoopy Sno-Cone maker from the 80s. Nothing worked better and the syrup dispenser was way cooler!
15:06 I bought some of that slime stuff off Amazon for cleaning my keyboard in my office. Works great!
I love these update videos!!
Saw a video decided why not check it out .. spent my day off binge watching freakin reviews lol
The dog shed suit is fucking hilarious
We put a Monster Zapper in our kitchen on top of the fridge and it works awesome keeping the bugs down especially the Flies. I hate Flies in my house. They just won't leave you alone. Then the added bonus being in the Kitchen is it keeps the Fruit Flies dead on arrival.
You deserve so many more subscribers it's criminal.
Now this is content I live for
honestly I've been using the airwirl to cool down my pc when I had to get a replacement fan and even after it was replaced,it worked pretty well and I still use it for a quicker cool down if I run it for too long working,it was pretty good because i used the tube to angle directly onto the hottest components

Cannot believe I’ve been watching you over three years now

My heart breaks for Bailey everytime I see that Shed Defender put on her.
Love Baily!!💕
10:08 Bailey was soooo adorable!!
Hey, alright! I’m a huge Mutemath and Paul meany fan!! Awesome!
I’d rather have fur in my house than have you unhappy. 💕❤️
for the grocery bag holder clips, what I do, and what I have done for a long time, is take an extra bag or 2, after bagging my groceries at self check out, and place em in my back, drive home, open trunk, then I take the extra bag, pull it into a rope'ish form, and just tie it throw the bag handles of my groceries, leaving enough room for 3-4 fingers or so, and that's worked for me for a very long time.
I wonder did you ever try that smaller bug zapper on its own? Being low wattage doesn't necessarily mean bad.... but if the other if just more juiced/shows it more, then yeah of course they'd go to the bigger one, but like you said it scared bailey. Maybe the smaller one is quieter? IF you hadn't noticed you had even caught some. I think it'd be worth a shot on its own so there's no blazing vegas lights to distract em
I thought you said, "One of the most dumb questions..."
Lol.
I bought a couple of flimsy little phone stands that are similar and 3D printed. I use one every day, they are so very handy. I paid less than a dollar for each of them.
I need that monster zapper!!! That trey would have been overflowing with mosquitoes if I had it this year. Louisiana sucks....
Love the update videos
Purple, the color of evil...
Me, whose favorite color is purple: 😭 😭 😭
if you have a six seater car, the back two rows frequently fold flat, but the back of the seats are not padded enough to lie on. Use the car mattress.
