You know what's great...when the pandemic first started, James said he was going to provide more content and he really has come thru. Thanks for still giving us some great content especially with the special guest stars (kids)
He is James White.
@@soupsgord I think he meant to write the word "said".
@@ladylindakaye1 qqQtt
Is “through” not a word in America?
@@cwuzii no
Knowing how incontinent rats are, and how they walk across cans stored at factories and stores... I sure don't want the top of the can inside my drink. Bleah!
I like these 1 year later reviews. Especially when I see products I missed.

I agree with this. It always surprises me when I see I missed something. This channel is one of my instant clicks when it shows up in my subscription feed.

"Back in the day" we made ice cream with hand crank ice cream maker. It didn't take that long to make it. Tasted so good...
Dang and I remember we had to take turns to crank the ice maker during family gatherings because it was so hard! Bonus point: the kids took turn sitting on top of it because it was so old, the top of the crank (if that makes sense, not English sorry) would fly off otherwise. But after that we had ton of delicious coconut ice cream so definitely worth it!
Then again it must have been because it was a big old thing that would serve over 15 people easily
@@NatLaS yes!! That was the fun part!! We earned that ice cream 😋
We use the Loc Laces because of your review. When we had a problem with the end not staying on, Amazon gave me the contact information for the company who let me know that not only were they sending replacement (entire!) laces, but they also had a lifetime warranty. :) I am a happy Mom!
Btw, the end was because one lace had slipped out. It was almost impossible to open the clamp again. Thank you Loc Laces!
This is why i love your channel!!!! You are the only person who actually gives updates on products you've tried, not just a review when you first get the products. Thanks for taking the time to do this for us and for making such thorough and great reviews!!!!
I got Lock Laces for my mom's shoes and they have saved her so much time. She had a back surgery 3 years ago now where they had to put two chromium bars in her back, 24 bolts and replace the discs and can't really bend over anymore. She can put her foot up on a chair and tie her shoe quickly now.
Another amazing thing she uses is the Doff N' Donner (not an as seen on tv product but under $100 USD) to put on compression hose on her legs... More people honestly need to know about it for their elderly family or people with issues. While she was recovering I had to help her put on her hose, but with the Donner, I could get both hose, socks and shoes on in 15 mins.
I hope your mom's recovery went smoothly!
@@daan8695 Yeah, she is doing so much better and the surgery was definitely worth it.
Great tips, thanks!
The ice cream device seems like something to give a preteen who would eagerly spend the day making ice cream for their family. Old enough to do things in the kitchen alone, young enough to not realize the scam of the experience.
Hi 👋
The preteens I know aren’t that dumb
The Cuisinart machine keeps my foodie hu and the results and occupied for hours, results are delicious.
I was thinking the only real benefit to using an ice cream maker is if you want a specialty blend (not available pre packaged) or possibly if you have someone in the household w food &/Or preservative allergies/sensitivities.
Bought the lock laces, after your review last year, for my snow boots and love them!
Ooh, those indeed would go quite well for snow boots! Not lived in an area with snow since I was a kid back in Alaska in the 90's but something like those laces would've been great as a kid.
Love your reviews, but I really miss seeing Ms. Bailey! These clips of her reinforced how much I miss her! Please have her in some upcoming videos...
The banana slicer reviews on Amazon are hysterical!
Ha Ha ! I will have to check it out. Nothing like spending and afternoon surfing
on Amazon. Happy 2022 !
I have a similar sunglass holder in my shop that is filled with safety glasses. It's one of those things that makes them so much easier to access that I find myself wearing them more then I did before. I also have different styles, tint, etc., so depending on what I am doing they are there and easily accessible.
With cans if I don’t want the lid to go in, I squeeze the can and it gives enough room to put the tip of the knife in and pull it up. I also wash all my can lids before opening just in case.
but can you wash the underside of the opener, which then touches your clean can lid? (not sarcasm, I always think about how to clean these gadgets James reviews, some seem like they'd be nearly impossible, because of the way they're constructed...and this isn't just a germ thing, any gadget dealing with food/drink is bound to acquire residue)
I bought the BeltBro after watching your video last year. I wear cargo shorts with belt loops that are one inch wide. I only use one BeltBro and it works great. I even wash the shorts with it left on and haven't had any problems. That way I don't have to put it back on after washing.
Another great video. These "Year Later" reviews really are helpful. It's nice to know what holds up after a year's worth of use.
I like the moon and the UFO. Those are pretty cool. I also like those mini flashlights. Do believe I shall buy a couple of the Aurora ones.
And as always, the laughs you provide are always a treasure. So, thanks for this review and for the laughs.
I use the elastic shoelaces. I love them. They tighten up nicely and are more comfortable and movable than regular laces
SO many quality reviews. I am so happy with my ratchet belts, I can't see me ever going to another kind of belt.
I do love the moon and the UFO, but I could never see myself buying it since I feel it would be a quick novelty item Unless I started a youtube interview vlog channel,'
Love the flashlight reviews, I am a weird person who stashes flashlights everywhere since I can never find them when I need them. I have them everywhere so I can always find at least one when I need a flashlight,
Thanks for helping improve my life even if I never actually buy a product, they're still good to know about just in case.
I have picked up the Ozark Walmart 3 pack of lanterns in the camping department. Those suckers are BRIGHT and perfect for power outtages. I should get another set; I also have the Dollar Tree versions that work decently well too. I picked up a few of the old fashed block-battery flashlights. I never thought about stashing flashlights everywhere; I have all mine in a central cupboard I can find in the dark or by the light of a cell phone. Excellent idea! Thanks!
@@Knight-of-Sarcasm dollar store sells hooks some sets have 10 tiny hooks. The hooks can't hold much weight, but they hold small flashlight no issues.
I just found this channel and I so love it. I've been watching since I found it for about 2 hours. Where have you been all my life!!!
I really love how bad the draft top is! It seems completely unnecessary and dunks the (potentially) filthy can-top into your beverage as a bonus. Interesting from an engineering perspective, but seems like it might be better for aerospace than can opener.
Would it work better if the user were to crack open the top. then use the device. pull the top by the tab as to not have it dunk into the beverage? But at that point, it seems redundant to even use the draft top.
@@X_Xander Exactly!
I think it would be cool to keep intresting cans for storage or mini plant pots. Only after you've drank from the can tho...
oh no these reviews can't be a year old why is time moving so quickly
How do you keep all these things organized?
I have been wondering his system for YEARS now. His house doesn’t look like a hoarders, yet he can go back and find many of these items sometimes years later with ease! Where and more importantly how is it organized?
I would like to know as well!
This was well done. I appreciate these one-year later reviews.
You look really good in blue.
Grip six belt has been around for ages. I had one in the early 90s. The elastic shoelaces as well have been around for a very long time.
Because of your review, I bought one of the Rovyvon flashlights, the Aurora A5x I think, with the side LEDs and glow in the dark body. I've loved it and used it pretty much daily. I actually lost it at one point and bought the A3 like you showed and then found the original a day or two later and decided to keep it because they're such great little flashlights. So thanks for the review.
I love the laces. I’m a nurse and change my shoes at work and they save me a lot of time. They still look brand new even though I had them before your review.
We got the Neck Light and Aurora. Both were great buys as Mom loves to Read and the Aurora is great at night.
My favorite series of videos ☺
The Rovyvon is actually a great flashlight. It's a well-known brand in the EDC community, you picked correctly 👍
Happy new year!
I purchased lock laces and put them in my low hikers which I would grab in an emergency (and have!). Also good for elders when dexterity becomes an issue.
Lots of the products, like the banana knife you use are really good for people who have various disabilities.
I do admit the UFO bluetooth speaker is kinda cool
I did like that one too. Otherwise I will save my $$$'s. Happy 2022 !
The moon and the ufo are my favorites.
Most of these gadgets are solutions to problems that don’t exist.
Happy New Year's James, keep up the good work....looking forward to more reviews in 2022!
The no metal alt belt (first one) is perfect for my hubby cause he’s allergic to metals. I bought for his birthday and he’s still using it.
There's an even easier way to open a banana without squishing the ends, just open it from the bottom. You wouldn't think so, but it opens much easier that way.
knife
That's how monkeys do it, and that should've been how people would do it.
If pinching is a lot for you (kids, elderly, disabled) the gadgets would definitely help.
I never had a problem opening a banana. If it's not easy its probably underrripe. I guess some people might like their bananas a bit green
Happy new year! ❤️ I love these video's so much! You are such an awesome reviewer.
I had a chip maker back in the 70's. I already had a slicer forthe potatoes and they came out perfect and it cooked enough chips for my family, it was nice for the kids.
20:12....reminds me of my husband's levitating speaker. We are always fighting with that thing in the exact same way. One of those tools that came with the globe would be nice to have.
Somehow I missed the review of the sunglasses holder, I probably nodded off, but holy crap!! I have 1 pair of sunglasses & they're a clip-on to my prescription glasses 😂
I don't even understand why anyone would want to remove the tops of their canned drinks.
Great video as always! Happy New Year! ❤
I haven't seen yours videos in my feed for a while. Happy to see you haven't gone anywhere.
I how you and your boys have been well!
I have no hips and struggle to keep my pants up even with a belt... Until the Whippy!
9:25 I love my whipped belt! Your review was the reason I got it in the first place. It pulls the loops but it does it job. I just loosened it a tiny bit and it is better
that drill bit one is the funniest lmao
The Draft Top is a good concept that other brands have done a better job with. The best use of this is actually for taking the top off to rinse the can before it goes into the recycle or returnables bin! I use a can opener to take off the top of cans currently so I can rinse them out enough that ants and other animals don't get into the cans while they sit in the garage.
James, thank you for this video, I realized I missed some of your videos and am going to look for the levitating moon. Happy New year !
I can’t believe some of these were 1 year ago!
@1:18 the silicone handle cover- i didn't know they even made these, im notorious for burning the ridges off of my left hand because i will absent mindedly grab the handle to stabilize the hot pan while i'm distracted, solely focused on stirring/ scraping the hot cookware w my right hand. Without knowing about these silicone handles I've actually had fabulous success at stopping the "DOH" burns simply by repurposing all of my old padded/fabric blown glass pipe holders from my herb smoking days (since i mainly vape my herbs, now.)
Thx Freaking Reviews guy
Always love your videos! The dog reactions are always a plus for me💜 as a headshaver, would love to see if you have any razor recommendations
He has at least reviewed the OneBlade and if I recall correctly he also reviewed one other blade in that one!
@@daan8695 thanks so much! I will look for the review, appreciate the info🙌💙
That potato chip maker may not let you make a whole lot but it's still an upgrade from what Lay's chip bags give you
How about doing some stuff from dollar tree or similar? Btw love your videos Happy New Year James!!!
i have the aurora also, its nice but beware its a fire hazard. if left on too long it gets very hot and actually burned a hole into my car seat.
I need to get a tiny flashlight for my daughters baby dolls 😆
*I've actually been using my Aurora a3 every now and then i recommend everyone get one because you never know when you'll need a flashlight.*
The loud whistle made my air buds vibrate.
The loud whistle would be a lot more handy in an emergency situation. I'm not surprised that you didn't continue to use it as you thankfully did not have a reason to use it
Thanks for staying relevant
I actually watch his vids before buying anything,thank you!
I actually bought that ThruNite T2, and I still use it. I mostly use it around the house where room lights just won't reach properly. I only charged it once since I bought it shortly after the Freakin' Review that featured it, and I probably didn't even need to charge it, I just did it to be sure it wouldn't run out when I really needed it. I normally keep it on medium, which is basically 'normal cheap but decent incandescent flashlight' level of brightness. High is a bit uncomfortably bright in an enclosed space like a room if you have the misfortune of shining it on a reflective surface and it hits your eyes. Max illumination is eye searing even on just a normal dull white surface, and it does warm up pretty fast.
It feels weighty, but not heavy exactly. You'd definitely notice it in your pocket anyway.
I want to try the potato one
Love these
I still like the Grip6. Once I got used to it, it is very easy to adjust on the go so if you have an active job or need it doing sports it is great. Love the moon and I am shopping for a new mini flashlight-thank you.
It’s seems like we went from torturing hot dogs to torturing bananas! 🤣
The problem with that can opener is metal shavings in your brew. Who wants that in their drink?
would love the floating moon for my 4 year old , she loves the planets but 100 dollars is way more than I can afford for something like that
I bought the Flying Saucer and the Moon Lamp from your link. I love them!!
I would think n was kinda hoping the sunglass holder would have 20 pairs of your trademark look circle mirror glasses! ha
Thanks James for the reminder about the simple hold leg strap phone holder, I bought that after your review and after a few uses I put in the trunk and forgot about ha I’ll dig it out and try to use more regularly
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! as someone with a shopping problem this is very fun but also good to know what is a waste of my money haha
Hi Freakin, The two belt loop beltbro is slightly fancier than the string, zip ties or what ever else I could use in a pinch. :)
I've used my Grip6 belt for years daily and it's the best belt there is.
Same here
Would love to have the last flashlight. Very bright.
The two belt loop beltbro is slightly fancier than the string, zip ties or what ever else I could use in a pinch.
Lol we had that hot dog toaster because my older brother gave it to us. We weren't impressed. It stopped working after a year of light use.
Hey! Happy new year to you and your family! Hope you have an awesome one! 🎉🎉
Of those tiny lights, I use the Olight, because it was like $12 and has two modes for such a tiny design. Using it as a zipper pull, because its just that tiny.
This was great 👍 👌
When Mr. Clean meets Chuck Norris to review products on internet
I have a Grip6 belt and I love it.
Good as always
For the draft top item one of my other CZcamsrs pop the tab so that you can pull the top off after using the product instead of digging it out of the drink
Lol have you guys seen the new old commercial with like pirates? Apparently from the Witcher but I think it's funny I watch it every time
I Love These Videos 😄
So many of those gadgets all I can think of it will take longer to clean them than it was to heat up the food.
Some of these products are hilarious!
That looks like an in n out burger 👀 0:43
Gotta love the Mario 64 box
I will say, the Whippy is nice for preschool/toddlers (the size for them anyway lol)
Potty Training!! My daughter is tall for her age, but her waist is average, so pants that fit for length are too big in the waist. Some pants have built in elastic in the waist band, but those that don't... this style belt is great for her. She can still undo her pants herself to use the potty all on her own.
Gonna use them for my son too when he gets to that stage because he's built the same so far.
So people with "gotta go now issues" may like it too. Pregnancy maybe, if their maternity pants are too loose that way no buckle on baby belly and pants still stay up. idk.
I got one for myself xD Use it now and then as long as the shirt is long enough to hide the stretching loops.
A levitating Death Star would be sweet.
One thing I'm curious about with the draft top, it seems the way to use it would be to have the tab bend up first. That would release the air from the can so it won't foam so much, and give you a way to pull the cut part up and out. It didn't fall into the can until touched, so snatching the tab quick with fingers or being able to hook it and pull back with the little hook to 'push it in'. Otherwise, you don't know how clean the tops are, wash them first. Otherwise that's just gross :p
We like your videos and buy a few products. Please, keep uploading videos more frequently.
If they made a silicone chip maker that you could put in an air fryer, I would get one.
These are my favorite
I cant believe it's already been a year!
I think you need to review a groove life belt, I bought one and a Grip 6 belt and I won’t touch the grip 6 over it
The levitating moon was the coolest.
Your videos really enhance my pooping experience thanks!
I have the sunglasses holder and use it for my headbands
Good video!
That first belt looks goofy lol
I too am a fan of Banana Bopping.
