I've had that exact console organizer for 15 years. Bought from a local store for about $5. I mostly travel alone in the car and keep it on the passenger side. Does what it's supposed to do well. I enjoy your reviews very much.
When he mentioned the console organizer, I figured it would be easier if it was on the passenger side. Even if you don't travel alone, it makes more sense to keep it out of the way of the driver.
Thats what I was thinking that it might work better on the passenger side. At least out of the drivers way.
Yes,seems common sense to put it on the passenger side...and he should have put the A.C. Tube on the passenger side vent near the window....lol
James, we love that you're just a regular guy giving your honest opinion! Don't ever sell out!!!
I feel like James’ car is an Inspector Gadget’s one lookalike
James' Awesomobile
I'll get you Gadget... next time!
Dammit, now I'm on a trip down memory lane 😀
Also the glare guard might be good just a thought for us SHORT PEOPLE out here that sometimes a regular visor doesn't always cover it & you wish you had an extension. 🤣
If you live in higher lattitudes the winter sun is very low during the morning and afternoon. The sun above the houses and below my sunvisor! That was a problem. I have since just taken to buying and wearing sunglasses that fit over the regular eyeglasses.
I am 5 ft tall and have driven SUVs for years. The stock sun visor is pretty useless for me in the Spring, Fall and any time I have to drive into the sun. I have a very old amber glare shield with the sliding darker plate. I have used the heck out of it. It was a very good purchase.
ETA: Even with prescription sun glasses driving into the sun with this shield is so much better.
I'm 5'9 but I've had issues with glare in the 2006 Scion xB and 2008 Kia Rio 5 I drive due to how the windshield is angled and how low/high the seat is so I'd probably get one too
I was wondering how these would work for that too
Idunno why, but I always love watching car gadgets and it’s always nice when it’s a actually tested 😄
Hope everyone is having a great day and staying safe 😊
We need a shirt now that says “Dip with authority” now
yes!
I concur.

Thanks James for keeping us entertained!
I could see how the Console organizer and swivel tray would be really helpful in the back seat of my husbands pickup, where the cupholders are on the floor, which I never thought about until being stuck back there during a road trip, they are super inconvenient, also for the middle person in the back seat of van has no cupholders so the organizers could be helpful there too especially for kids
Finally, he got to the part where he figured out what to do with the console organizer. It’s been around for years and I used to tuck it in the passenger seat. Even with someone there, they had less to worry about bumping into it. He could even still use his catcher on the driver side.
I can "dip with authority". What more do you need in life? 😁
My new favorite phrase. Dip with authority. lol
Man I love these videos! IDK why but I'm certainly addicted to watching them. Thanks James!
P.S. the bonus content is awesome!
I was thinking the same thing 🤣👍
Me too!
anyone else want to see James touring the half-popped factory some day? we must know how they make those!
Put my noggle in my face 🤣🤣 Imagine someone telling you it's hot in the back seat and you tell them to grab the noggle and put it by there face 😂🤣
The nozzle is calibrating.

I love how genuine you are in these reviews. It's how I imagine I would do a video review (practical, not harping on things that don't matter yet still pointing things out that are relevant) but without having do to any of the editing work! Appreciate you kicking out content while we're all sitting around stuck in our homes
I saw the noggle in someone’s car a few years ago and been looking for it ever sense! THANK YOU! Now I have a name for it. Look
I've had that "console" for at least 5 years now. I put it between the gear shift and passenger seat. Works perfectly. The car's origin cupholders are in the most awkward spot and pretty much worthless if your car is in park.
As someone who doesn’t like things touching their face I like the visor. Glasses are great for those who enjoy them.
The dip clip is genius! Sometimes I have to commute a few hours for work and I take my lunch as I'm driving.
You should see where the Half Pops are from. It’s likely that they they sell regular popcorn as their primary, like Smart Pop, and found a way to market what would have been garbage. Sift the unpopped and partially popped kernels to separate and sell the partial pops as a snack. Genius!
Seeing a new Freakin' Reviews always makes my day!
I am laughing out loud here, all alone! What a riot! Love when he says, “I can HEAR the ac but I can’t feel it ... “ and many other hilarious moments. Thank you!
Instead of attaching the tube to the middle vents I suggest attaching it to the passenger vent on the far right side. That way the middle vents are freed up for the driver and front passenger.
Wait so that means the tube has to either cross diagonally over the passenger or run across the passenger door thus blocking it......
Love how the background is always so bright it almost looks like a green screen.
It’s due to a good quality camera. The focusing capacity is almost out of this world. Gotta appreciate CZcamsrs who consistently improve camera quality!
@@danielmonheit it's blown out, what are you talking about?
Exposing for the shade of the car interior will do that
I had the Noggle for my infant a few years back. It was a life saver in Texas in a car that didn’t have ac in the back
You can do the same thing better with a dryer vent hose!
tarstarkusz and a whole lot cheaper too
James, I agree 100% on the Hot Mustard sauce. It is the only one I use for the nuggets and the fries....
Yes, the mustard is my favorite as well.
Me too
I’m always pretty stoked when I see the notification pop up for a new vid from Freakin Reviews! Big fan of ur stuff James! Thanks for keeping ur vid uploads going through this craziness... we all appreciate it!! My wife also loves the half popped kernels...ordered some today and put your vid link on the comments. Take care buddy.
Thanks for being honest in your reviews and showing the good and the bad products. As always good video. Stay safe.
Always loved your content mate!
Much Love from India James. Stay safe and thank you for keeping us entertained
Please don't stop doing these reviews!! You're so good at it and they are so entertaining.😎
That last visor is something I could use. I wear glasses and during the winter I am always facing the setting sun for my long drive into work. I put a dark window tint at horizon level but my husband can't drive with it there being taller.
The noggle needs to use the vent clips like that dip clip to hold it on. A couple of those could keep it in place, make it removeable, and keep it from closing the vent.
I feel like the glare guard would be great for short people or kids, especially when the sun is lower in the horizon. Being a short person myself, I have this problem often.
I'm a railroader and some of our locomotives have visors like the one you tested here. Similar to airplane visors, ours almost completely block out the sun. But the one you test here looks pretty good.
Omg they have hot mustard again.. I love that. It's my favorite.
Gotta put that car cupholder (console) on the passenger side. I've used one of those for years, and it's worked great for me.
You deserve A LOT MORE SUBS!! I love your channel!!
I paused your video and went straight to Amazon for the dip clips!
Thanks for the review! I never knew this existed!! ❤
Amber tint is used during night drive for incoming car lights. The dark one is for day time.
I have the cup holder thing in my 2004 corvette. i have it on the passenger side. it works very well. the 1 cup holder you get in the car is only about an inch deep so its quite the improvement!
I get so hyped up waiting for you to drop a vid whenever you post a pic of things you're reviewing on instagram
I got translucent glasses in my car glasses, i prefer them for driving but down fall is the few minutes it takes to lighten up once in low sunlight places.
I got the dipping ones for myself and two friends and we like them...one of us really loves it and uses a lot. Also an investor on Shark invested in half popped.
The console organizer was amazing in my last car ('92 Crown VIctoria) because it didn't already have cup holders in a convenient spot for me.
I really look forward to your videos. Thank you!
Might pick up that Glare Guard. I have a Fiat 500 with TINY visors that barely block a thing. Thanks for the tip! Didn't even think about something like this.
I feel ya. I have a Corolla and it too has small visors. I wear prescription lenses, and it's almost blinding driving home from work (well when I had to regularly; working from home right now). So I'll be looking into this visor as well, especially for when I eventually start driving into the office again.
Thanks for the extra videos, really apiciate it😁
that extra cup holder thing would be awesome for someone doing doordash or uber eats for extra drinks. just put it in the passenger seat
Love your videos James. I'm just glad my car has rear a/c vents....lol
Definitely going to try the glare guard!
The half popped kernels have always been my fav!!😁
We have a noggle and my daughter loves it. I do find the best place to attach it in my car is the vent on the passenger side so that the center vents are open and it doesn't hit me while driving. It was definitely frustrating when I first installed it. I had the same vent closing issue. My next vehicle will just have rear air lol.
I might swoop up some of those half pops and the side seat holder 👍🏻
I find it quite questionable what some companies think that we humans seem to need just so that they can somehow make a profit - but what they mainly do is waste resources.
Thanks for continuing to make awesome videos i really enjoyed the end I’ve never heard of such sorcery 😂
We use the tray in our 18 wheeler. Try adjusting it at the bottom and tighten it down. But we take the longer piece off and just use the tray in the cup holder piece. Works great as a catch all or for sandwiches and chips.
I think I would leave the dipping clip ketchup holder in and stick the smaller dips in it side ways.
The half pop review was the best content I’ve seen all week. You should do more interesting food reviews!
Haha "my 30 seconds were done with 3 minutes ago" 😂
Lol, the plunger swivel tray. Maybe you can make an exception on your return policy just this once. It’s not fit for the shelves of past product reviews.
Thank you. You have been a help to me in this crazy time.
I need that half popped pop corn! I dig in my popcorn for them all the time!!!!
Never thought I would watch someone eat half popped popcorn! Good video!
🤣🤣 The Noggle is crazy
"dip with authority" LOL!!
YAY!!! I can buy the dip clips from Ali Express. They have other dip clips that go onto your plate for those that don't want to have their sauce infect everything on your plate.
Please do more car gadgets. This is awesome.
Visor/lens tip, the amber or yellow lens should be used at night, dusk or low light situations, it cuts glare but also makes things clearer. Don't use the grey at night but they're great during the day.
Clearwater Beach ,Get Your Ship Together! Love it
In NYC, I've seen taxis using dryer vent tubes to backseat area (there's a partition between front and back seating).
i really loved your appearances in breaking. bad. it’s my favorite show
I have the console drink holder thing. I have it on the passengers side. The only problem is that whenever someone gets in they knock it on the floor. So you have to remember to move it BEFORE they get in. Otherwise its good for extra space for holding stuff.
I think most of your problems with the Noggle are specific to your car. I think this is why reviews can be varied because everyone has different uses. I know people with kids and love it. I think it's marketed to kids because if an adult is in your back seat that probably means they're not important enough to be in the front seat so it's okay if they're a little warm. Awesome video as always, love the channel!
Great reviews as usual. Like the shirt I live at Clearwarer beach. Dying to get the bed jet, need to save a little longer. ☺
Another way to tell if glasses are polarized is by looking at the back window of newer cars that have heat wire (for lack of actual word...the glass has horizontal wires across to help defrost the window). If your glass is polarized, you'll see dots on their glass. Look at it without the polarized glass and the dots are gone!
For the swivel tray, you have to bend at the joints on the pole like in the picture on the box. The offset weight will give stability in the cup holder.
There's so many "That's what she said" opportunities in this one! I love your videos man! You're pretty great!!
Funny, seeing Bailey still looking for that lizard behind you over your shoulder towards the end of the video. LOL
As far as the half popped popcorn you are exactly right, they are the rejects. The places that make and sell popped popcorn have a lil filter thing that popcorn rolls down that filters the small unpopped, par-popped, and too small popcorn and this is probably the stuff from there that they just resell to make more money
A few years ago I bought the "Fit System RM011 Clip-on Wide Angle Rear View Mirror" from Amazon.com. It's a HUGE clip on rear view mirror, and let me tell you, it's changed driving for me. NO MORE BLIND SPOTS. I barely even use my side view mirrors now. All of my friends make fun of me, but I don't care what they say, I love it. I've always been curious if I picked the best one though. I'd LOVE to see you get a bunch to compare and to find out which is the best!
The Zoggle should be attached to the side vent you see the adapter fits the vent better, and you can could get away with running berween the seat and the door, I use it in both my cars and its perfect for my toddler and cooling down the car seat. I live in Miami so the car can get hot even with tints. Also I got it for $15 on clearance.
James thanks! Excellent reviews as always! Pet bailey for me!
You need to try the *2CUPS Multiple Car Cup Holder* !! I love mine!! It't works great!!
I have a visor that has two separate lenses, I really like it in the fall I’m short and the visor helps me see when the sun gets lower in the sky.
Did you say when you first got in the back that you needed to crank the car 😂. Yes that helps the air run lol. I love your channel though and subbed
An easy fix for the swivel tray which would probably justify its cost: if there was an expanding/contracting base that fit into any drink holder and then anchor in with rubber sides that expand into the sides of the cup holder, it should be stable enough to swivel fine, assuming the actual swivel mechanisms work as intended.
I laughed when you said french fry in the catcher thing 😂
Thanks James for these great reviews! I'm wondering how well the visor would work/last here through our Vegas heat? Will it warp??
Love the reviews!
products that simplify things and solves the problem are satisfying
I might consider the glare guard. I use Rx glasses and something like that could make driving easier.
LOL this is like what taxis have - but they have a big partition between the front and the back. You don't need this. The key is aiming a couple of the front vents high and putting the fan on a higher setting. The air deflects off the roof and into the back. Remember, cool air sinks. Aim it high.
O boy, you can turn on your heater to get some warmer mustard lol. Some of the thing that are sold.
I got some half pops (dill) for about $0.15 a bag once, they are pretty good, nice crunch and flavor.
i keep refreshing hoping that you posted another video .. lol. keep doing the good job
That visor is GREAT if you're short and want to block sun from the side! Oof, that can be death here in the West!
The caddie works best for compact cars that don't have one originally. Goes over the emergency brake.
Any other distractions we can have in the car while driving?🤨 Love your channel. Appreciate your reviews.
I dont have a console like you do and i have the console thing with the cupnholders and it works great. Not cramped at all.
I had one of those trays and loved it. You are using it wrong. You need to bend both the joints. Then the weight of the items on the tray puts torque on the part in the cup holder, which keeps it in place. And that is the part that swivels inside the cup holder. The tray is small and you wouldnt usie it while driving, but if you are just sitting in the car, it works fine.
