1 Year Update on 10 Products! (Update 47)

[@Steve-bv1to]

Bailey stalking behind you while you were using the Shred Machine 🤣

[@shannondore]

That was cute! She was hoping he'd drop some.🐶

[@ja-x327]

I like how she appeared for the steak!

[@nikki1117]

I was thinking the same thing😅. Bailey was hoping he dropped a piece

[@LindaB651]

Yep, was going to say that, but you beat me to it. Adorable, though!

[@davidwibben9886]

..." you gonna eat that?"

[@bryanjohnson8162]

Update videos are my favorite!!! Because everyone's always reviewing products but no one tells you anything useful when it comes to how long they last or how much they actually use them or if they're worth what they paid for them in the long run 👍👍👍👍

[@bestaqua23]

Im diabeled and this channel allowed me to go back and cook because i could invest in things thet help me and will be good for use for the long run . Thenk you

[@mdhalbrook]

The dissolvable labels have that form to fill out because they were designed with a professional kitchen in mind. We used them in a restaurant I worked at, and I think we may have used them even when I was in culinary school 17 years ago.

[@an-alechianeathery770]

That makes sense for grilling small items. Cool, how things are made for bigger purposes, and now us little people can use it.

[@Gamer3427]

Yea, that was my thought. We used what looked to be the exact same ones when I worked in fast food. I think it's more of a case of a "professional" product also being sold for home use than anything else.

[@SilvaDreams]

Oh those stickers have been around for ages, we use to use them at Subway even back in the mid 90's when I got my first job and you can buy them even as a normal person from many places... But with Amazon well that is even easier now if you don't have a supply store near by.

[@IceTTom]

​@@SilvaDreams"even as a normal person" 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SilvaDreams]

@@IceTTom Yeah I mean other than from industrial supply companies. There are plenty of shops that sell things like the plastic containers and other supplies like the dissolving labels that might have one been considered industrial supplies that go in large kitchens for resteraunts. Most industrial supply companies won't deal with individuals unless you have a business.

[@coreyconway]

I bought the vacuum shaver right after the review was posted & still use it weekly. The best shaver I've ever owned & no more hair all over the floor.

[@jamesbyrd3740]

i solved this problem by shaving outside

[@beaverc2884]

​@@jamesbyrd3740 I'm not shaving outside in negative 14 degrees f

[@tcpma]

​@@jamesbyrd3740shaving outside during winter months only for not having hair over the floor, seems very comfortable

[@Gundumb_guy]

Bailey watching you shred up meat in that giant weed grinder was too funny!😂😂

[@jgulner]

I love the dissolvable labels. They make blank ones, too. The one problem I've noticed is if you don't go through them fast enough they don't stick too well after a while, especially after a humid summer

[@Echinacae]

can I maybe ask you something or give you a tip? keeping them in a bag in an airtight container with some dessicant and they're sure to not degrade. is that too much effort? I've done this with some very moisture sensitive things I wanted to store.

[@shannondore]

I got one of those microwave sandwich makers, and it does make a pretty good grilled cheese sandwich. I've also used it to reheat fries, pizza, and have made quesadillas in it as well.👍🏻

[@RealBradMiller]

Yeah, that cheese spilling out, and how it grilled the bread... If I ever owned a microwave, I would be sold on that product!

[@kellimshaver]

I have the tiny tabletop firepit and I love it. I don't think I would use it inside, though. I keep it out on my (concrete and brick) front porch. It sits out there on a small bistro table, in a tray filled with river rock. It's nice to sit out there by it in the fall/spring and listen to the creek and the critters.

[@verloren918]

I'm with you, the entire idea of an indoor fire pit with a big open flame like that is SCARY. I'd never want that in my house 😰

[@OceanLover1188]

I've seen someone use it inside an old fireplace that was not gas, it was the regular wood log kind. But they didn't want to burn real wood. so they got one of those things and then put some of those gas fireplace ceramic logs in front of it, and it looks really good. That's pretty much the only way I would use it.

[@RelicRS]

Wait til you find out about chimney/fireplaces 😆

[@Okurka.]

Wait til you find out about candles.

[@Thatbeardedguy1031]

Wait till u find out about wood burning stoves and ovens omg

[@Kracov_the_Madman]

I'd want one for outdoors though. Would it work better with kerosene?

[@IMDARKFIRE007]

I bought and LOVE the indoor fire pit....it's a great piece when you have company, conversation starter and looks great on a kitchen table even in broad daylight. The only real con is having to wait like 30 minutes before refilling for safety. As far as safety, it's no more dangerous than a candle, just make sure to give it an open area (where it can't be bumped into) because the flame IS big. Also the shred machine is a MUST for cabbage and pulled pork....the effort it saves on those two is insane.

[@thumbsarehandy.]

Thanks to your original video, I bought my partner the VacuTrim. He shaves his head weekly and uses it to maintain his beard. He loves it! It makes cleanup a breeze, which is very significant. Cleaning up hairs is such a pain!

[@HostileHST]

5:36 I use a $15 aquarium pump. Came with the pump, two bubblers, tubing and 2 one way valves. I put a bubbler at the bottom of each of the one gallon glass jars and gets rid of the chlorine smell in 15 minutes. As far as getting rid of anything else, I can't say, but happy with how it works just like it is.

[@JaSon-wc4pn]

❤love the fire pit. I use a cheap Ramikken oven dish And back fill it with pebbles to slow down the burn. Great for warming a room on a chilli night Or just for the ambience

[@AB-ye7bw]

Appreciate all of your reviews and all of the work you put into them.

[@3DJapan]

The fire pit is very similar to something I used in the late 90s. I worked at a coffee shop that has s'mores on the menu. We brought it to your table with all the ingredients and skewers. The "pit" was metal and used gel sterno rather than liquid alcohol, much safer.

[@Crosses3]

The waffle cone maker looks like it could make steoopwaffles (thin waffle sandwich cookies with caramel in the middle)

[@Echinacae]

I would ask if you are Dutch but bringing up stroopwafels is almost more not-dutch than Dutch, haha 😅

[@catboxcleaner3532]

11:40 Bailey 🐕

[@aquagames5850]

I bought a small table fire pit that’s Sharper Image brand at Walmart last year when it started getting cold outside and I literally used it just about everyday inside when it got really cold out, especially when we had ice and snow. I know a lot of people seem scared to use it inside but as long as your not purposely trying to knock it over it’s not going anywhere, I had mine on a small table in the living room and that’s where it’s stayed since.

[@JaSon-wc4pn]

I use an oven dish Rammiken With some pebbles For a nice flicker on a budget. And a stone coaster underneath.

[@MrMax89]

I bought the cheap inkless pen after your review and I love it and use it all the time!

[@travisandmissydog]

Where at? What brand is it?

[@sziltner]

Love the labels and you are right. Forget all the printing and leave them blank! 👍

[@YukonWilleh]

Used blank ones in professional kitchens for like a decade

[@SilvaDreams]

Used them even back in the mid 90's at Subway, not anything new but you had to get them from supply stores normally but Amazon has made them so much easier to get.

[@TracyKMainwaring]

I bought the vacuum shave for my husband for Christmas, based on your year end review. It wasn't quite what he was needing (narrower trimmer), but it definitely reduces the mess and that's what I needed!

[@xRhino95x]

First thing highlighted for me when I logged in. Always look forward to these updates!

[@simz7304]

It's 02:17 am in Eswatini. I have to go to work in 5hours yet here I am...fun times

[@bradasstv]

I did buy one of those waffle cone makers new in the box at a yard sale, used it once and never again. It was fine, but hard to get it sealed and ended up being more work than it was worth for me

[@epsileth]

Might be better off using that water aerator for wine, might be more effective, and less noisy than using a blender.

[@Thatbeardedguy1031]

At 17:40 u were talking about the cloudiness of the juice u almost said "there doesn't seem to be so much "shit" in there" 😂

Once I heard that, I gave a puzzling look and rewatched it. Haha. Made me laugh.

[@Freakinreviews]

Guilty!

[@Bionicbabyy]

Thank you for the update. I agree with your assessment.😊😊😊

[@andrewzach1921]

I appreciate the look back. Thanks for the video

[@umbrellacorp.]

10:55 The Shred Machine looks Really useful. It could help a lot in the kitchen.

[@tanikokishimoto1604]

Yes. I, however, thought about how often do I want or make shredded meat? About twice a year here, so while this would be great to have, I probably won't get it.

[@tomfeng5645]

Makes for a decent gift item for the right person though, since it's still very useful if you have it around already. Nice luxury item that saves a lot for work when used for someone who would use it at least a few times a year.

[@xryanxrulezx]

It’d be great if you went back into the boneyard and did a whole video on the best grilled cheese makers in all of Freakin Reviews history! I want to know which one beats all the rest!

[@mopargirl2173]

That was fun!! Always love your reviews. Wish we didn't have to wait a whole month for another one. Cheers 🎉

[@Chris_Picklepants]

The shred machine - Is a kitchen adapted weed grinder.

[@theblockofcriticism612]

thats exactly what I was thinking

[@IceTTom]

Grind those herbs!

[@debseyler2817]

Been watching you for 3 years. Love your channel. Miss seeing you and your son trying foods. I laugh the entire time!!

[@MrMekishiko]

I have a shred machine like that. Except its a lot smaller and metal and used for Cannabis lol.

[@RealBradMiller]

Once saw that firepit get overfilled, and then was placed on a large table, during the filming of a podcast... And the alcohol spilled out and damn near started a fire on the table.

[@Patricia-b]

The shreder is hilarious, it's so clear what the basis is, and it is exactly what someone would come up with a whilr after using said basis.

[@Z1ldjian2785]

For water stuff should get a PPM tester. That way you can visually see if there is a difference. You get one included with those ZERO water filters. Ill say right now it truely does take out all chlorine, lead etc... it tests at 0 ppm. Puts all other tap water filtrations to shamre.

[@Thatbeardedguy1031]

Love this man he is so wholesome

[@ShirlBussman]

At first I thought I was having Deja Vu until you said 2023. I have a pretty good memory. Thanks, James and have a great week. 🤗🤗🥰🥰🥂🥂

I used to have a mini version of that shredder. I used it for the devil's lettuce.

[@Toaster81]

I miss well water back in MI. Have lived in Vegas off & on most my life, and all locals know why our tap water is not great... 2 words Lake Mead. Love your reviews sir. Its good to know there are still some honest people in the valley

[@masonedwards18]

I'm a manager at jimmy John's in NE and we recently started using those disolvable labels. They are great however the adhesive does not like to stick to certain types of plastic in my experience. Would recommend them though

[@jennyb9065]

Any amount of grease on the hands, gloves, or container will prevent it from sticking properly. Source: I've worked in several restaurants many years ago and that was the main issue. Quick wipe the area with sanitizer, dry towel and try to touch as little of the adhesive as possible was how we were able to get it to stick.

[@mrsmissy2669]

Vacutrim looks impressive. May get for the hubby's birthday! lol

[@_Yep_Yep_]

Grats on 47 years of Freakin Reviews! Pls make #48 about the stem cells or vampire blood you are consuming ;)

[@werewolf74]

And that is why, when you drink an 8 ounce or even 4 ounce glass of orange juice your blood sugar spikes. Its basically like 3-4 large oranges. in a drink with no fiber.

[@flexcrazyfun5109]

I am a Vacuutrim evangalist because of you! It's great and I recommend it to everyone

[@iamchillydogg]

You shoulda tried the 'inkless pen' on the 'dissolvable labels'!! 😆

[@JP-su8bp]

Thank you.

[@jagsnumberone88]

I've used those labels (or ones like it) for the last 30 years in the restaurant business.

[@leeojascastro711]

What if you tried the water aerator on red wine?

[@perry92964]

the shredder is the same thing as the pocket size one for weed, i guess if your gonna make a cheech and chong giant joint the big one would be great

[@LuckyStone888]

462 I could have sworn the alcohol firepit cracked and became unusable. Maybe it was something else? 461 $6 inkless pen/pencil might be something I need to look into.

[@maryroberts2099]

[@JaSon-wc4pn]

A cheap Oven proof Rammiken works just as good For a fraction of the price. Also add some pebbles for a slower burn. Got a few on my table😊

@@JaSon-wc4pn ok thanks

[@CaroleMorin]

You read my mind when you compared the two juicers!

[@kikkirow]

I was pleasantly surprised by the juicer. Might be useful for a morning squeeze or cocktails, but you’d have to strain it more because of pulp.

[@PeterShipley1]

have you tried putting wine in the water swirler?

[@kassandralevingston9874]

Love your new kitchen color! 😊

[@JDM12983]

Feel sorry for anyone dumb enough to think that the "Mayu Swirl" does anything other than just swirl your water.... >

[@prepperchris1]

great update as always

[@janetroberts2262]

The juice from the masticating juicer not only gave a bit more juice but it was greener too, the vortex juice looked watery.

[@zeroflight6867]

The waffle cone thing... If making the bowl, you're better off flipping the bowl over round side up, then draping the hot cone over top and pressing the other down. Basically whole thing upside down. You can line it up better that way.

[@Dubiels]

Nice content! Love the update on the trans am.

[@robinbrowne5419]

One of the best 10 gadget updates. Thank you. My favourites are the alcohol flame burner, the disc shredder and the grilled cheese maker. Nice and simple, versatile and work as advertised. The worst has got to be the breakfast sandwich cooker. Looks cheap and a pain in the keister to clean and doesn't even toast the english muffin properly. Come on now. Lol.

[@AirLancer]

I'd hope at some point you can review one of the most well-known As Seen on TV products: The Ronco Showtime Rotisserie.

[@paulaitix77]

shred machine be a giant weed grinder

[@springsogourne]

Wanted to love the Mayu Swirl, but it’s impossible to do a good cleaning of the swirl device at the bottom of the carafe, mine developed a green scum, used bleach to rid the color, but the scum was still there, so, nope, you can’t properly clean it. Also, my first one was defective, they did do a zoom call to see what the problem was and then sent me a replacement.

[@johnstark9164]

Would be curious how you compare the Vacutrimmer vs the Philips Norelco 7000 series. I have been using the older version of the Norelco for a decade and love it.

The text on the dissolvable labels is because they are for professional kitchen use. We need item and date, and the initials are so we know how made what.

The breakfast maker was the first video of yours that I watched! The gulf between how long it had been(one year) , and how long I thought had been(like 2 months) almost made me throw up

[@lisathaviu1154]

You might be surprised at how little juice is the equivalent of a piece of fruit. As a type 1 diabetic who must keep track of equivalent amounts of things like fruit and juice, I knew that the amounts were correct. This is one reason that it’s better to eat the actual piece of fruit than have juice.

Woah, the inkless pens were actually I think the first video I saw on his channel. Cool.

[@lexylex8976]

Fire-pit would be ideal for emergencies
