[@jevinliu4658]

To be fair, that test was clearly unfair. Ideally you would have multiple garlic cloves in there, and the garlic cloves would be aged 5-7 days.

[@stone5against1]

@@jevinliu4658 Yea but as he said, who has time for that? And he's right.. Unless you really use a lot of garlic and always have some lying around, chances are you'll buy it the day you need it or a day or two before, and it wont have time to dry up properly. That, and whacking it with a knife really is the most effective method. It's one of those gadgets that solve a problem that didn't exist in the first place.

[@pambinobequeno5062]

also not fair is the fact the shaker had to peel 4 cloves, but the manual method only did 1. if we extrapolate the 7 sec peel time for one clove to 4, the time on the manual method is actually 3 secs slower.

Dan: I would improve it by People who made the product: write that down, write that down

[@thomastighe7060]

Not sure if Dan Formosa will see this but for that potato/ apple peeler my wife and I have it and my wife does large scale canning of apples each year around 4-5 bushels of apples so about 160-200 pounds every years and it has held up for about 5 years. I do agree that it can be sturdier and the tweak on the adjuster would be nice but it is more durable than it was given credit.

[@Avalikia]

I agree with you, but at the same time I feel the need to point out that perception is huge from a marketing standpoint. If something seems flimsy and likely to break, that's a design flaw whether or not it's actually true - fewer people will give it a try and the product won't sell as well. It can be worth it to a product designer to add totally superficial 'reinforcement' elements to their product so that it seems sturdier for that reason alone.

[@thomastighe7060]

@@Avalikia I just think the 1 rating on willing to buy on a perceived durability is a fairly weak assessment on that metric alone when it performed the function admirably. In many of these videos he does not comment on the durability on a given product. I know I have a perception bias on this. Heck I have even dropped it a few times and my wife did not know. I agree it could be better but taking it from a 4/5 rating in the other two categories but than say not to buy it. If he snapped a piece off in the video I would fully agree but it was only perceived as well not a demonstration of it breaking (which he has another product).

[@justalittlebitmo]

I've borrowed my mom's for canning and it's also held up. I think we finally had to put on a replacement blade... but the original lasted years.

[@Imman1s]

​@@justalittlebitmo Agree... and mine came with two replacement blades stored at the bottom, so no complaints either. Also he was dead wrong complaining about the durability of the pins, those are no likely to fail, ever. The weaker structural element is the thin plastic mounting for the blade, and even that has held just fine.

[@rouge5140]

The manual one is better, i hooked up a drill on low speed to it and it's much faster and has held up for a long time.

Spot on about the issues with adjusting the Potato express. You get a little used to it after a while, but there were some really simple ergonomic adjustments that wouldn't have altered the sleek appearance, and would have greatly improved usability. It does *feel* a little cheaper than you'd like, but we've been using ours for a while, and we haven't even had to replace the blade yet. It does come with a little tool for extracting the eyes, and shaving/cutting off the top and bottom skin does take a few extra seconds - But it you need to peel MANY potatoes, you can do that after loading the next one, and it can save a lot of time in the long run. Plus if you want to use the skins in anything (fried potato skins, vegetable spaghetti) - it's a nice fairly even strip that it shaves off.

He's an engineer, not a chef.

[@skiggety]

[@GoodBoy-fo9dd]

[@K8TF]

I love this series and this man! 😊 Dan Formosa has such great humor and intellect. 😊😊😊😊

[@yorkaturr]

In Northern Europe it's really common to use potato peeling gloves for new potatoes in early summer. They are really small potatoes that have a really thin papery skin that's difficult to remove with a knife or a peeler without sacrificing too much of the potato itself, so rubbing them with something coarse is the optimal way to go. You're not supposed to use them for already cooked bigger potatoes.

It's Saturday night and I'm watching a design expert peeling a shrimp... My life can't go better

[@jazzykn1ght]

it kinda made me want to cry and it wasn't the onion. THE BURNN😂

[@rapnewsworldwide]

Damn that onion skin peeler was so rubbish🤣 I’m gonna *cry* with laughter

[@nadalvannunen9729]

I like how he super casually says: “its purpose in life is to **blank** ”

[@julianakarasawa315]

OMG I love this guy

[@Xbluestar3]

"At this point, I wonder why I'm not using a potato piller" Hahaha we all been there xDDD!!!

[@todorokilah3036]

"it's not as magical /instant as you hope" 😅

[@tylerdivine3342]

I've worked in food for a long time and for me it takes about 5 seconds to peel an onion, chop off the ends, cut the onion in half and then peel the first layer of onion off

[@AlgyPond]

Seeing him test for people with dexterity problems made me feel good, I feel heard!

[@kristinakelemanova6995]

"Still not great." Well that s what I keep telling myself

[@custos3249]

The actual product designers are watching his suggestions thinking "Yeah, we thought of that, but it'd add to production costs, and this shit is produced cheap for a reason."

[@mo0man]

I haven't finished watching this yet, but in his previous video he talks about how some of his suggestions don't require additional parts, only to have had different moulds made. Certainly, new moulds are expensive, but if the product was well thought out initially only one set of moulds would have had to be made

I've used the Potato Express before (my sister in law has one) and it works reasonably well. I don't think I'd get one though because it would take up way too much of my limited cabinet space.

[@HideyHoleOrg]

I have a rotato express, and for me it is great! The biggest tip I can give for using it is: When in operation rest a finger on the top arm with just a little pressure to keep the spike from backing out.

[@LegalHotdog]

Love this series! It's soothing yet engaging. Hope it keeps up!
