I hope you enjoy this year's Top 10! Don't miss the giveaway linked in the description. :)
Love the channel
What's the name of the dishwasher?
What is the name of that fab wine opener?? 🤩
Cirkul's cartridges have gone worse
I was excited to see this! My favorite channel. ☺️. I have the neck light and it's so versatile.
The little dishwasher is so stinkin cute ☺️
I actually bought that necklight on your recommendation. Best money I ever spent. Anyone who knits or crochet in a poorly lit are HAS to buy these.
I can say I bought it for the same reason. I use it to crochet in bed and it's the best light I've ever owned. I tried many headlamps b4 James reviewed that
Same! I just bought one of the neck lights to crochet when everyone is sleeping. Definitely worth the money!!
Really? Oh thank you! I was looking for a light to crochet by I'm glad there are yarn people that recommend it!
@@elaniarkady7351 I think it's definitely worth it. I thinks I paid about $17.99 for it on Amazon and I got a rechargeable one so I wouldn't have to worry about batteries
I just use it when I work in the night so I keep my hands free.
For the quick flip hoodie, where are you supposed to put all the stuff in the backpack whenever you get cold and want to wear it as a jacket? Lol
Correct me if I‘m wrong but this is like the ONLY channel that does long time review like this! I hope he never stops!
Thanks James, I always enjoy your reviews. Whenever we see a television commercial for something you have reviewed, I tell my husband whether you liked it or not. You always review the products in the way they were meant to be used. Because of that, your reviews have credibility. There are many reviewers who do not have your credibility. I enjoyed your Top 10 for the year.
I concur!
They sure do! I got my hubby the Allet wallet from last year’s list for his after-Christmas birthday. He told me he didn’t need a new wallet. He also put everything in it and hasn’t secretly switched it back either. Yup, he really does like it.
WOW!! How fortunate am I to have found your channel. I wish I'd known about you early in the year. I probably would have fared better with my Black Friday/Cyber Monday purchases. There's always next year! I look forward to more unbiased and truthful reviews. Thanks so much James, cheers!
That neck light would've been perfect for playing the older Gameboys at night.
My family has had an ice cream scoop shaped exactly like that but metal and has some thing inside that when shaken warms it up and it scoops even better than anything else. We’ve had it for about 15 years.
Do you know the brand name, or what to search it as to find it online?
@@doctorcorgi3134 fr I need this
Your videos NEVER disappoint me, and I honestly don't think I can say that about any other channel I subscribe to. You have saved me a ton of money over the time I've been watching you that I would have spent on junk products, and have steered me to some pretty great things I otherwise would have missed out on. Thank you, and keep the great vids coming! 👍
Plus, they're just relaxing to watch :)
@barcham We agree.
I bought the Ninja pan last April following your very positive review, and it was a hit at the first use. We use it 95% of the time, except for some wok cooking. My wife completely stop using her cast-iron pan. After 7 months of use, it is still working like on the first day. Thank buddy!
Nice to hear. Almost pulled the trigger on 2 for$45 or $50 at sam's club recently but I didn't & it's back up to $75. I didn't really need them so I passed but it's good to know they r still going strong
That's one I'm definitely interested in.
Warning on the cirkul. They advertise no sugar but most of their flavor cartridges contain either stevia or sucralose. Only the PureSip flavor cartridges are sweetener free. May not be a big deal to most but if your sensitive (like I am) it’s the difference between a good day and a debilitating migraine.
Did you mean "no sweetener"? Neither stevia nor sucralose are sugar.
That's what no sugar means....
You + are = you're. Plus, those things aren't sugar, therefore they are sugar-free.
I bought the Novette dishwasher for my RV specifically because of your review. Thanks for a great recommendation. I’ve been using it for 3 months now and it’s been great. Enjoy your stuff.
Where did you buy it? It's not available on amazon.
Idk why I watch these videos, absolutely hate “gadgets” “single use tools” “crap” but his testing and thought process is so interesting. Keep up the good work sir. Thank you for the entertainment.
Hi~We have some free bird feeders(US) and would like to find people who are interested in them to test them, if you are interested you can contact me, thanks!😀
On your recommendation, I bought the neck light and it's great! I use it while I crochet in the evening and it's a game changer. I am purchasing some for Christmas presents too! Many thanks, James! I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving, I am thankful for you! 👍
Hmm, that might make another great gift for my grandmother, who has bad eyes. I already got her some knee braces that warm and massage, but am trying to think of a few other things I might be able to tack on to that one gift without breaking the bank, lol.
I got the neck light too. It's very helpful when I want to do handwork from my recliner while watching TV with Hubby.
I got the neck light also and use it almost exclusively for crocheting and other crafts! I laughed out loud recently when I was at a local garage getting some work done on my car when I saw my mechanic using one of these neck lights while working on my car!
That popcorn maker was around in the seventies before every household had microwaves. We used to shake a pot over high heat until our arms fell off, so this was a great product. Hardly new. We used to put the butter in a space on top of the clear bubble and would drip down on the popcorn while it popped. That part didn't work so well. We always melted the butter in a tiny pan and drizzle it afterward. Nothing beats freshly made popcorn the old fashioned way. I'm glad they brought this back for the new generations.
My parents bought a Stir Crazy popper in the early 80s and they still use it a couple times a week to this day. It's hard to say if new tech will last as long, or if the name brand has been bought out by a different company, but it's a simple design that works great.
The counter-top dishwasher looks the most interesting to me. I'm a single guy who washes dishes by hand, but that takes extra time and water and things are never perfectly clean (like tall drinking glasses). My kitchen is small and a full size dishwasher would be overkill, so maybe I'm the exact demographic for one of these.
You sound like the perfect demographic! Then you could save hand washing for pots and pans. As for the Stir Crazy, one of my colleagues used to keep one in her classroom. If they were having a personal reading day they’d earned or a celebration, she could make several batches of fresh popcorn as a healthy snack.
Before you buy this countertop dishwasher, buy some good quality dish gloves and use very hot water for your dishes..and soap of course. I live alone too and couldn’t imagine feeling good about taking up my limited kitchen space for this item. As for time, if you wash your dishes after every meal it takes what, five minutes? Not a big deal.
I had a portable dish washer when I lived in an apt., and was the Best at cleaning dishes. Did a better job than my full size dish washer.
@@louisefontaine6856 I realized how quickly you can wash up dishes when I got my first microwave (1984). I would set it for 2 minutes , turn to the sink and wash dishes and be done before the time was up. It never seemed to be a chore after that !!
You give so much to your channel you can tell you take your time really reviewing items and getting great footage. Thanks for being so wonderful!
Oh hey I bought that car vac after you reviewed it! It's a great little vacuum. Perfect for when a massive container of glitter spilled in my trunk, and the tire inflater has saved me from having to make a trip to Kwik Kar every time we get a cold snap and the pressure changes. All around a solid product.
I bought the beautiful Ninja Foodie pans based on your review. I had just gotten a new Induction / Convection / Air Fryer stove...and this was a perfect compliment. Nothing is more amazing than cooking an egg with ZERO oil, and have it turn out perfect with no sticking. After 6 months, still works like day ONE!
Thank you James for another great year of awesome reviews and look forward to next year's reviews. I like that wine bottle opener, it looks so fast and easy.👍🏻😊
Him saying "very nice" over and over was my favorite part 🤣
I watch your videos when I'm able and am always impressed by your thorough testing and reporting. Love the new kitchen, that backsplash is gorgeous!! Happy 2022 to you!
I love your best of the year videos cause they are a great way to remind myself of things i wanted to get people and makes the holiday season that much easier for me
Stir Crazy has been around for years. As a kid my family used one and it made great popcorn for years until it eventually wore out (though that took over a decade). Nice to see it's not only still around, but still making great popcorn.
James, how in the world do you manage to make my Christmas Shopping easier?! This was PERFECT timing! Loving these ideas... especially for my more difficult people to shop for (you know the ones who you want to get something more unique for and you know they love the thoughtful gift more than any pricetag). 💯🎉💯
Right? I got my hubby the Allet wallet from last year’s list. He protested that he didn’t need a new wallet. He also hasn’t stopped using it. Now I’m eyeing that hoodie for our son.
Loved this video, that Stir Crazy Popcorn machine caught my eye.. our machine just departed.. We already have the Hamilton Toaster, you definitely have some great products listed today. I already made a list, as soon as my non stick pan dies, guess who's coming home.. That Portable dishwasher is beautifully designed, and also loved looking inside as well. Thank you sir, I'll let my friends know.
I use the neck light everyday. I do diamond painting and found that direct light has been the best to see and it’s perfect for this
James: _"Dog hair, man. So much dog hair."_
Bailey is in the video even when she's not. I'm not complaining about that. Hehe. We love you and your family, Mr. White. The family includes your pets! Plus I love how you say "Baaaaaaaaailey!"
Thank you so much for all the Thank you for being the Guinea pig for us. One thing that is a big consideration in a product is, does it do something so much better/easier that it’s worth having the item to clean and find a place for. For instance a rice cooker that eliminates the problems with stove top cooking like having to monitor the pot and not under or overcook the rice. Keep up the great work.
Honestly electric grills are amazing. I really recommend them for college students, not just because you can't use actual grills in small spaces but because you can cook so many things with it in an easy way, it really helps to keep a better diet than just eating instant food
I actually _found_ my George Foreman at college. Out in the snow...
Good cleaning and it works fine. Some damage to the non-stick surface, but hey, it was free!
I love my Little George Foreman Grill. It is perfect for this old woman 👵 ✌🕊🤗
Once I had to live out of a hotel for 2 months for training in another state. Luckily I was able to have my boyfriend with me at the time. His birthday happened while we were there. Ended up buying an electric skillet, making him a real feast, including steak and crab. One of the best purchases I ever made, that skillet. Absolutely agreed.
I had a George Foreman grill like 2 decades ago. I was living my healthiest life!
I'd throw grilled chicken and veggies on there the fat would drain off and it's quick.
Obviously, they tinkered with some things, but concept is relatively the same.
Definitely going to buy one for spring to get into shape for summer.
Thumbs up.
I have the deluxe George Foreman grill which has removable grilling plates for ease of cleaning and extra plates with surfaces for other food types including waffles. Bought it for my mom about 15 years ago and she recently gave it back to me as she moved to a place with less counter space. It's still in pristine shape despite her having used it quite often. Before I received that we had 2 Foremans, a tiny almost single item grill and the larger size good for doing bigger thick pork chops. They're okay still but small one has some damage to the Teflon (and is actually Teflon so not safe to use if you have birds in your home) the bigger one still in great shape and will likely sell it at a garage sale for a few bucks in the near future as I don't need 3 of the danged things! Bottom line is if you have a Foreman already you're unlikely to ever need to replace it because they're very durable and reliable and any of them take up less counter space than that Shaq grill which looks huge!
Best product reviewer on CZcams! Thanks for the content
I've been addicted to your videos since I found you over a year ago and nothing has changed. I get excited for new videos every time. I don't comment much but this video really inspired me to since I was going "oh yea I remember that one!" to all of these lol
Thanks James, I continually get pleasure from your reviews. Whenever we tend to see a TV industrial for one thing you have got reviewed
you had some great reviews.. i always trust your review with your most honest reviewing and testing of every product you shown us all the while keeping a level of expectation and real world in mind
Got the ninja never stick this year as well(after your review) and I love it! Got the whole set! Love the end of year countdowns!
Glad the neck light got a mention.. I use it all the time. Very useful. Thanks for all your reviews!
That zeroll scoop is a classic scoop design. We have one that's decades old in our drawer and it's fantastic.
Hey James! Question about the hoodie/backpack -- what do you do with the stuff you loaded up in the backpack if you get cold???? 🤣🤣🤣 Love your reviews!
I assume if it's cold you bring yourself a cotton material sweater because that kinda jacket isn't made for cold cold weather.
Best use is for using it to hold your kid's jackets or for holding your chargers etc when flying.
Buy 2 😁
Great,great channel
I enjoy every review and appreciate your time spend to show us.
I bought the Stir Crazy popcorn maker 8 years ago. And I do agree that it does make great popcorn with very few un-popped kernels left.
I do truly enjoy watching all of the videos that you post. Thank you
Because of your review my wife and I purchased the Novete dish washer.Its just my wife and I so it has worked out great. Would not have purchased it had I not seen the review.Keep up the great work and thank you.
I bought the neck light based on your review. I love it. After taking it to a craft weekend, several folks bought one for themselves.
8:06 I got one and definitely enjoy it. It's a lot faster than you'd think compared to other solutions. I will say a few things: If you're using popcorn oil/butter, you'll end up adding more when it's done. Be careful when taking the lid off as it tends to still be very hot (give it a solid minute after the last kernel pops for sure). There feels like there's a lot more kernel shrapnel as compared to microwave popcorn. This may not be a big deal to some but as you get down to the bottom of a bowl, you'll be grabbing handfuls of it towards the end. Otherwise I definitely enjoy it. getting popping corn and using something like this is FAR more economic than bagged/microwave popcorn.
Thanks for the link to the Ninja pan. I couldn't find it on Amazon. BTW, I got the nightlight for Christmas and I really like it. Love your videos!
I just found your channel out of nowhere and I love your stuff! I love how you do these top 10s right before holiday shopping season. I know a few people who would love some of these gadgets! I always like to get fun things for my family that makes them say "where did you even find this?!" Needless to say I will be returning here frequently!
This video just made me go out and buy the Cirkul water bottle and about 8 different flavors. I like the idea of flavor cartridges and being able to control how much flavor/water I'm drinking. So great job and you made a sale!
I had one of these 20 years ago. I used it at work. Works great
The electric wine opener is the perfect last minute Christmas gift. Thank you thank you thank you!
Omg! We had one of those stir crazy pop corn makers when I was a kid back in the 80's. So I know that DEFINITELY works & obvi lasts long!
I’ve been waiting for this video! I love your Top Ten lists. It’s nice to see that the corkscrew made your list (definitely a legacy of the original Screwpull that’s now over 30 years old-former wine merchant here). Last year I got Hubby the Allet wallet from your top ten for his birthday and as much as he likes to say he didn’t need a new wallet, he actually loves it.
Seeing this year’s list has me considering more gifts (sees hoodie, looks at adult son 🤔). That honorable mention reading light might be handy for our nephew who’s a college freshman. I missed the countertop dishwasher review video, but I could see someone who lives in an apartment with no dishwasher liking that one. Definitely large enough to do one person’s dishes and it really worked well. I’ve also been eyeing that Stupid Car Tray since I saw it on Facebook and in CZcams ads. Once we buy a car again, I’ll definitely get one.
Great list! Off to coordinate the top tens with people’s wish lists.
OMG, that dishwasher makes me giddy, I the full size of course but this is a must have and THANK YOU. Who knew!!! I also got the pan. I just wish I could get a single 8-inch pan.
I've had my fair share of counter top dishwashers and I find they work awesome for about a year or two and then something breaks that costs about the same as the unit to fix.
I'm still debating getting another regardless because they do work well for awhile. And lol, forget the warrenty.
I’ve had my neck light for probably 5-6 years. STILL use it at LEAST weekly! When we had a bad storm a few years ago that knocked over most trees in a park across the street; we lost power for almost 2 weeks. I was walking around the park with that on my neck, a headlight..and a tray of cookies & tea for all the power & cable guys. Everyone asked about my neck lamp,
Hi~We have some free bird feeders(US) and would like to find people who are interested in them to test them, if you are interested you can contact me, thanks!😀
Thank you for doing this it really helps us when it comes to buying stuff off the internet.
I straight up just bought that dishwasher. I live in a 10x20 home and this will be perfect.
With the Cirkul, you have to buy the Cirkul bottle and their single-use, plastic flavor cartridges. Granted, you can still use the bottle for straight water but then I already own multiple water bottles including my large, insulated Yeti bottle which is my favorite because ice that I put into it at 6 AM is still ice at 2 PM. Insulating performance aside, the price point and amount of waste generated make it unreasonable especially when I can buy sugar-free Crystal Light in a lot more flavors for literally pennies on the dollar or make homemade lemonade sweetened with agave (which produces zero waste when packaging is recycled).
You have truly incredible quality in your videos man. I always look forward to the best of videos
Yes, I actually bought that pan a couple of months ago because of your review. It’s the best pan I’ve ever used and I don’t think I need any other one lol
Was waiting for this.. lol
Great Job and keep it up Brother!
Always the best reviews that have saved me money! Trust your recommendations. Looking forward to 2022!
New to your channel. Came up in my recommended. Love that you rep the Vegas knights in many of your vids. We are a big hockey family here and although we are primarily Islanders fan’s we love many other teams. My son loves the Vegas knights Jersey.
The perfect holiday gift guide
I have to agree with #1! I have that Ninja skillet in 3 sizes and they are the BEST! Love your videos, keep up the good work. 🙃
I love love love when you do your favorites! Thank you 💝
Love your reviews!! just bought the water bottle thingie!
This is the first video of yours that I have watched. This is very well done!
I bought the Stupid Car Tray. I love it. If someone needs to sit on the seat, it unhooks easily from the seat. Don’t know how I ever got along without it. There’s also a bonus space under the tray where the car seat is lower, so I can store small essentials that are easily accessible.
Thank you James! I appreciate this so much! No need to watch the entire shows to get to the good stuff!💞

@@ItsJustLisa Not all heroes wear capes but just for the record, I was wearing a cape when I wrote down the time stamps 😂
Car inflator vacuum
Thanks for making this list! Very helpful!
@@debreale5236 My only regret is that I didn’t make one for the “worst of” list haha. It just never even crossed my mind for whatever reason.
Woooo yes! Another excellent review, 🙏 thank you Mr.White!
The StirCrazy was around back in the 60s. We had one when I was growing up. It disappeared for some time and I guess they've brought it back.
I did purchase the ninja pans after your review and I can say they are great, thanks James
HELL YEAH. I’m hyped for this so much
I had a Stir Crazy popcorn maker decades ago and I'm kinda tickled that it's really not changed all that much since then. If you haven't already tried it and like buttered popcorn, throw a few pats of butter on the spot where the steam comes out. (Top of the dome/bottom of the bowl).
Thanks !! 👵🏽✌
A new video wooo love the channel James
I have a stir crazy popcorn maker and I love it! It's the same popcorn maker that used to have the yellow dome lid which you must remember because they were around for a very long time. This is the same popcorn maker they've just changed the top of design a little bit. :-) that's the kind of popcorn I like I don't like stale air popper popcorn.
This was a really helpful video, thank you James.
Feels so good to know what will last u n what's the best quality you'll need to replace rare amount of times in ur life. I love the minimalism too. Definitely coming back to this video when I have my own new home from being at the parents 😂
The end of year recap always throws me becuase I remember watching all these videos when they came out
Great roundup of products, James.
I was actually gifted on of your suggestions for my birthday. I didn’t even know my friend watched your channel.
Have a terrific holiday season! Now where did I put that credit card? 🤣
I purchased one of those ice cream scoops that you tested out and it was absolutely horrible and I realize that you were testing on that bucket of ice cream which is cheap ice cream and it’s extremely soft. Maybe you can do another review one year and try the Breyers chocolate. That is rock hard and I’d like to see you use the same ice cream scoops with that ice cream!
This year just went past in a snap.
Didn’t realize I needed a Stir Crazy until I watched the video. I bought one and never regretted it.
Thanks for the reviews. You’ve given me some great Christmas gift idea. Thanks again.
When cleaning burnt food from the Granite Stone pans, I've found that if you soak the pan in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes the burnt food just rinses out usually not even requiring a sponge. My Granite Stone pans are all 1 to 2 years old and heavily used.
That's amazing! From my experience with the ninja foodi surface I can say that nonstick surfaces like these seem like magic when your food comes off with zero effort.
I bought the hoodie based on your original review and love it. Took it to Vegas and put it to work
Hey thanks for your reviews. I was in the market for a new George Foreman grill however because of your review I’m going to try the Shaq instead!
I bought the Canadian version of the Ninja non-stick frying pan. It is amazing, thank you for the recommendation.
I bought the neck light for myself and for a gift. I love it!
Another year down, and still a fan of Freakin reviews!
Love the lights & decorations in the background!
That novet dish washer is freaking awesome. I have been my dishwasher for 25 years. It would be nice to have a gadget and a show.
Thank you for this video. Just have to mention how nice you look. We are used to your t- shirts so today was a treat.
Love the graphics. Nice work. 👍
Your videos are so soothing to watch.
Thanks for the reviews.👍🏻👍🏻
I love my Cirkul water bottle! I’ve been drinking Cirkul for about 6 months now & have tried several Sip flavors and I’m a happy water drinking fool now!!
I have those pans and I agree!! They're the best nonstick pans I've ever owned.
