For the sponges, I think durability is the differentiating factor. But you'd have to use them regularly for weeks to test that.

[@AudreyII-]

That’s a good point!

[@Beccajoy9]

for instance does the scrub daddy last as long as the blue ones.

[@joemaymayers2212]

There are two things I dont want durability for - a sponge and a pair of knickers. No matter how well you wash them, the two should be replaced more often than other things. Because of the nature of the job thay have.

[@aIexrobb]

and for normal ones, how long the scrubbers take to pill

[@PatrickPoet]

also, cheap sponges stink faster

[@palevampire5661]

For the toast tray, I do not think you are supposed to turn the cheap one upside down and then empty the tray. When you unlatch the tray, the crumbs will fall out. If you turn it upside down to open the tray, the crumbs are just gonna fall out of the top of the toaster so you’re supposed to keep it upright and then open the tray at the bottom and let it fall out.

[@wilumward6570]

I agree. Or at least just tilt it up 45 degrees to open it and brush out the crumbs. I do turn my cheap toaster upside down and shake it over the bin sometimes though, to get all the crumbs that don’t fall through to the tray 😂

Despite wearing that shirt that featured the sun, the world of science still revolved around Rachel when she, unlike that sponge, expanded and ultimately achieved her fluffy, absorbent nature.

I actually found one of the $300 toasters at goodwill for $6. One of my best finds

[@RD0204]

One plus of the nutribullet is that you can buy extra blades and cups too. I have 2 blades bc the blade is hard to dry so if 2 people want to make something totally different (eg pancake batter and then a smoothie) you can wash the cup easily enough but not the blade and having a spare blade is handier. Plus if your blade goes blunt or your cup cracks but your motor is still okay you can replace them. You can probably do so with 'magic bullet' and 'ninja' brand ones but not with generics so its also more sustainable.

[@courtneybryant8764]

My aunt loves to cook and she's really good at it.And she has all the good utensils and she is really picky on her knives. A good knife really does make a difference

[@jeffie585]

Great video I'm definitely going to get the tomato knife and chef's knife. The cheap chef's knife looks dangerous cuz if you're struggling to cut something like one time you slipped and you could cut yourself.

BIG THANK YOU Rachel and Emily for once again pulling out another absolutely awesome video as always your videos never disappoint us all and i would like to take the time out to appropriate all the hard work that you and Emily puts into making all these awesome videos as always you put in a 💯 percent in every single video that you post and I absolutely love watching Rachel testing out stuff so we don't need to buy them it does save you from spending your money on stuff that doesn't work so thank you very much Rachel and Emily as well we love you guys so much and Rachel try not to burn down the house if you are using the cheaper toaster lol...

[@erwinignacio6453]

Hey Rachel, good afternoon. The expensive sponge one is much bigger. I LOVE bread. I like the first toaster.

[@andrewm6345]

I use the expensive sponges and they last forever without getting anything stuck in them, even things like cheese. The knife would be noticeable with onions as well. The serrated knife is going to make you cry a lot more since it is crushing/tearing the cells of the onion instead of cutting cleanly through them. Plus you can sharpen a non serrated blade

[@user-vy6wh9nv4d]

I love Rachael

I have a Rada knives set. Made in America. They are a wonderful brand. They all cut way better than Cutco, Henckels and definitely Farberware . That tomato knive was my first Rada knife. They also have a cheese knife that slices cheese like butter! Love the video and dropping of the food onto the knives. 🥰

[@mandaavis799]

I do love their cheese knife, too, now that you mention it.

About sponges: it's the longevity. Cheap falls apart quicker. Now, I buy the eco-sponges. The scrubber part comes off quickly but the sponge itself last months and months. I micro it to sanitize or bleach it.

Hey Rachel I would love to see you test outdoor full color security cameras that don’t require a monthly subscription to monitor. They need an app that notifies you if the camera detects a threat. Also the image at night needs to be clear and not pixelated. Someone broke my rear window on my vehicle in the driveway this past Sunday night, they will never catch who did it. Nobody has a camera.

Am I the only one who noticed that on the first bread test, the cheap toaster was on 7 and not 5? No wonder it burnt.

[@christophersawdey1101]

[@mandaavis799]

I have that Rada tomato knife. It’s amazing and worth it. I have the black plastic handle that’s dishwasher safe. Otherwise back in the day the metal they used for the handle would discolor in dishwasher. I’m not sure if that is still the case or if they changed the metal to a dishwasher safe handle.

[@bradenmills624]

I still think the Cuisinart toaster is the best deal, even if it is more expensive. Toasters should last about 5 - 10 years. A good quality toaster will hold up that long, while the $10 toaster may break after a year or two. So, in all, the cost of the $70 toaster lasting its full life will break down to only about $7 - $14 a year, depending on if it last 5 or 10 years. Much better investment for only one appliance.

[@addysonmartin4934]

the tomato slicer, RADA is the best brand when it comes to slicing anything! my family and i only use knives by RADA. highly recommend!!!

For blenders? I prefer my thermomix lol. Yes it’s expensive. I don’t ever expect Rachel to buy one to test in her video but I highly recommend them for a lot. Sadly not sponsored 😅

Now time will tell if it lasts, and i do like the different cup sizes the nutribullet had but overall, for just a smoothie to take to work, SAME. :)

[@LindzTheLooneyOfLondon]

An expensive knife should last your life! Never buy serrated as you can’t resharpen them properly, invest in one you can hold comfortably as it should become part of you , in that using it is a fluid action, which is something you can never maintain with a cheap knife. If you don’t have the budget for a expensive knife buy one from a catering shop, you will get a good knife, not the best but one you can sharpen and use far better than a cheap store one and it will be far more robust and unlike some machine washable.
