This has got to be one of my favorite parts about this channel. Instead of just initial impressions we actually get to see what its like to own the item for long term use.

[@commontater652]

Actual tears were falling when I saw you in that Ostrich pillow. Absolutely hysterical.

[@freednighthawk]

A trick (from a professional upholsterer) for memory, or any sort of foam; When it starts losing its shape or "deflating", take a clothing steamer and get the steam all the way through it. I've done this countless times to older foam, and you can watch the foam reinflate and take it's original shape.

[@smercho]

Never Stop. You are the best Alternative reviewer and i will always value your opinions over the pop-culture type reviewers. Cheers to you Mate. I can relate to your content and that makes it valuable.

[@urban1337]

It’s really the only review channel I truly trust.

[@jessbirmingham889]

Even being in the UK so so e of the products we don't have, but i still see if James has reviewed it first before i buy stuff .

[@bondwoman44]

@@urban1337 this one and Vivian Tries. She's not as thorough as James, but she's still a MF Professional!

[@mommashawna707]

I will stand by what I have said 1 million times, this generation needs to discover toaster ovens. When you live in Las Vegas the last thing you wanna do is turn your oven on in the summertime. I hardly use my big oven except for the holidays. I also do not own a toaster because a toaster oven also toasts toast!

[@dheisey1014]

Based on your ninja oven review I got one, still love that thing, especially out here in the desert where I don’t wanna warm the whole house up.

[@Casinogirl56]

Same here, making fries for supper in it as we speak.

[@saratonnan]

I have one, too & it's the best toaster oven I've ever used. Plus it heats up in ablou 1 minute & ,as you said, doesn't heat up the whole house.

[@traczebabe]

Thank you for mentioning that. I bought one also because of James review. I live in a desert state also. I’m grateful to know it doesn’t heat up your house. That’s huge!

[@PaulLeach123]

For the HexClad pan, all stainless steel gets that tarnish. Use a little “barkeeper’s friend” and it comes right off

[@Gimp2288]

Yup, just commented that myself. It's carbonization of fats like what happens when you're seasoning cast iron or carbon steel. Too little fat and too much heat in that area will do that. Pretty much an eventuality with any stainless steel skillet.

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

@@Gimp2288 Great to know! Thanks. Do you think it’s better to leave the carbonization on steel pans like the ones in my toaster oven than remove it with barkeepers? I figure if seasoning on cast iron pans makes them nonstick, maybe it’s better to leave that seasoning on steel pans to make them nonstick. Thank you.

[@bldrnnr11]

The Barkeepers Friend is abrasive and contains Oxalic Acid which may damage the HexClad pan. Before resorting to that, I would try using good old-fashioned Baking Soda to clean the pan. For extra cleaning power, you can try adding a little white vinegar.

[@bldrnnr11]

@@Gimp2288 Oil (fat) polymerizes at the smoking point. This is what creates the glass-like non-stick surface on those carbon steel pans and stainless steel pans that the pros use.

[@Gimp2288]

@@bldrnnr11 that shock surface occurs because the layer of fat is thin enough to properly polymerize, if the layer is too heavily laden then instead of true polymerization you get a pseudo polymer almost of stuck on fat that can no longer be removed simply with soap or traditional degreasers.

[@pacerdawn5512]

I got the Nostalgia Grilled Cheese Maker after your review and, I have to say, it's my favorite thing in the kitchen. It is so easy to use and hardly any mess and it can double as a toaster as well. Huge thumbs up on that one.

[@sluggdiddyyddidgguls]

i lost my golden and my mom about a year ago.. seeing your pup for whatever reason hit real hard for me. Sorry not the typical comment on your videos but hope you and your pup have a lot of great years ahead of you

[@fernalicious]

I got the Pillow Pad for my dad based on your review. He loved it and used it every day till he died this fall. Probably the best gift I ever got him, heh. Thanks.

[@bryceb2497]

Feels like forever since one of these came out. I always love to see em. Good job James!

[@tavern2468]

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when the ostrich pillow segment came up 😂😂😂

[@TheRealNormanBates]

12:56 so... when you were on the plane wearing this, did anybody say “it’s a trap!”?

[@catw6998]

If I was still employed riding train as a commuter and used that elephant looking whatever, I’d be laughed off. That thing is hideous.

[@icytower38]

I got the oven not long before you did a review. I loved it then, and still love it today

[@TheGreatChrisB]

My brother has the Ninja Foodie Grill and says it's the best present he's ever gotten. He uses it almost daily and even takes it when he has to travel for work so he can cook whatever he wants when on jobsites for a couple weeks.

[@laurallewien2165]

Ohhh I love my Pillow Pad, and it was your 1st review James that made me say "I want that!" So thank you!

[@feralcatbrothers]

Any review with Bailey (7:08) is number one in my book.

[@Scorpio75]

Best on youtube! Thanks for the reviews!

[@keith2964]

I got topgo after watching here. Different models but good brand. Thanks I hope your doggie gets payed well for the guest appearances! 🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴

[@bellababooska4181]

I bought my sister the child size pillow pad and it seems to work better. Not as bulky. She uses it every night and at the time it had more choices for colors and you got 2 in a pack.

[@tinderella2386]

2:45 this is why we love you James. That me lol when you booted the pillow pad thing just to demonstrate how light it is ahah

[@prinnydood]

"Look I tore this horrible case" *previously kicked it across a field*

[@Casinogirl56]

Loved this review as I have both the Ninja oven and grill. Quick grill cleaning tip.....the second you take the food out, unplug the grill, fill with enough HOT tap.water to cover the grill plate, then throw in a little Dawn Power wash and let soak. By the time you're done eating the grill plate will have soaked clean, just rinse it off (you might have to scrub a TEENY bit) and you're good to go for the next time. Oh and I bake brownies in my grill a.lot so it's really good for baking as well as griling.

[@JKlein504]

I got a Ninja oven after your review. Love that thing so thanks for that 👍 just got my wife a topgo cup holder mount a week ago so it's funny seeing it here. Glad you liked it.

[@7heRedBaron]

Mine is great at heating up cast iron for some awesome cornbread.

[@katlabjorgkristjansdottir1096]

I was so surprised when you said most people probably don't have an grilled cheese maker. I'm from Iceland and I find it so normal to have one. I think almost everyone has one here. It's really handy for a quick meal and kids love it.

[@erinasnow]

(late reply - I'm going through all his 1 year reviews) I was looking for this comment! I'm from the Netherlands, but same here. Might not be something all people have, but I'd say it's more popular than toasters.

[@Thlilun]

My mother got one of those “Pillow Pad” things for this past Xmas. So only about a month of use but I’m liking it so far. I’d recommend it for use with a tablet or if you have a large phone.

[@teganmurphy4473]

My mum uses something which is similar but not stiff like the “pillow pad” It’s called a “pad pod” and is like a small triangular bean bag, you can get any angle you like, she uses it every day

[@rickeykoga2312]

Such a great recurring series! Really gives the BEST well-rounded review. You da man

Love your reviews!!!! Ninja food oven is amazing! Replaced 4 items for me and cooks everything perfectly. Thank you man!

Man you’re so genuine and true, love it

[@tubawritaguy]

Good to see you again. I've been looking at the Ninja air fryer and decided that would be the one I'd purchase. Your is the second review I've seen that gave it a thumbs up. I will be purchasing mine through Amazon. The price won't kill me. I can now cook without oil or grease. Keep those reviews coming!

[@RichJMoneyTV]

REgarding pillows, "Cube Pillow" has started advertising on youtube and specifically says its for side sleepers, so it seems like something right up your alley.

[@margeryk000]

Thanks for the update. On your rec from the last update I bought one of those shredded memory foam pillows and I really like it. ATB

[@beverly5585]

Hi I've been watching your vidoes a lot lately and I wanted to say that you do an amazing job. I see that you put a lot of work into your videos. You go above and beyond and have very detailed extensive reviews so thanks for the great experience.

[@DarKnightKilla13]

Always love the updates! Hope you and the kids are well, keep 'em coming!

[@njyecats]

Watched your original review of the Foodi Grill. We bought it and love it. We use it daily.

[@jacksonmida4587]

Love your vids bro, keep it up!

[@barbaricerick123]

Freakin reviews is the only thing that keeps me goin

[@tbearski]

I agree with you on your Ninja grill! I use mine hard and daily and it's impossible to keep clean at almost 2 years old! Those nooks and crannies are grease collectors on the grill grate and even the pan is showing its age! I do use metal cleaning brushes and Brillo pads and the grill is holding up well but it's the only way to clean it because that nylon brush is useless! It's like cooking in cast iron and being well seasoned...Nice job on your honest reviews!

[@jam237]

I love these update videos

[@Gingerbeard]

Just putting this out there, i use my panini press for a lot of different things. Like steak, grilled cheese, veggies. I even made an omelet in it once. One of the most versatile kitchen devices one can own.

[@FyreEagle]

Your review of the ninja foodi airfrier oven convinced me to buy it and I couldn't be happier. I've completely stopped using my regular oven over the ninja.

[@miserablew1zrd916]

James, thank you for your review on the Ninja Foodi Oven! I contemplated on getting one for several months until you tested it out. I've had it now for almost 6 months and I'm just as impressed with it as when I saw it in your video!

[@patnutini8286]

We got the Foodi Grill for Christmas and we love it.

[@flxmkr]

"So, should I wash it or leave it up?" Bailey looks around for a quick escape.

Great work! Love seeing the updates!

[@brailleeulogy120]

I love this channel :) been following the guy for years. Very funny content and extremely good. I enjoy when he includes his family

[@EarthMonsterAZ]

We got the Ninja Air Fryer Oven due to your review when our Power Air Fryer failed. We can't praise it enough, we use it everyday. Thanks for the videos man.

[@brendakrieger7000]

Always appreciate the updates.

[@CannabisTechLife]

Question: Why do you use the beautyrest vs your top rated pillows like the purple and coop? For the grilled cheese I'm still saying Panini press worked the best because it did the job plus it can do so much more. For the Hex pad did soaking with soapy water help the scrubbing?

[@catiloh6086]

I don’t know why this channel has only 500k subs when some channels do like a 1/3 of the work and time he puts into his videos and then have over 1m subs

[@mizzshortie907]

Yay a new video to watch!! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@sarahcarter8577]

Got one of those BeautyRest pillows for Christmas 2019 and I LOVE it. I hate memory foam because it's usually so hard, not not that one!

[@jcbnica]

i recently found this channel. i have been binging lately. great real life reviews. new subscriber here. great job.

[@carls4552]

I got the hexclad pan set a little before you did your original review of it. I too was pretty impressed with it back then. However, now, I hate it and have gone back to using my cast iron pans on it. I've seasoned and re-seasoned these stupid things and everything sticks to them like they have glue on them. I spray cooking oil on it, I pour cooking oil on them, doesn't matter meat and eggs stick like glue. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, maybe someone else in the family is doing something wrong but I hate them, and they are so discolored it's crazy, unless I get out the Bartender's Friend and brill-ow pad and scrub the hell out of them.

[@jenainwonderland]

Not sure if you have tried this with the ninja foodi grill, but a friend told me how she cleans it and it works very well. When you are done using it, put it in the sink run hot water on the sink, put the outer pan on top of it and fill with hot water and a little soap. Let it soak and when time to clean up after dinner use the brush it came with and it cleans right up.

[@itsmilan4069]

Was just rewatching grilled cheese sandwich review yesterday 😂

[@SebastianV294]

Such underated youtuber love your channel and dedication keep up the good work

[@britishpenguino]

I got the beauty rest pillow because of you and the only complaint I have is that sometimes there is a glittery substance on my pillowcase (I have black sheets and pillowcases so it shows up more). I have no idea what this is, but it is very weird. Might be from the "cool gel". Other than that, it is a great pillow!

[@eFLASHMASTER]

Thanks for all your videos, they're very relaxing.

[@ReviewGamer102]

these Videos are the best on Vids On the Review Side Of KZbin Thanks So Munch For these Updates Videos

[@Bearded_Toy_Guy]

I bought the ninja foodi air fryer oven on your review in June and still love it.

[@PREPFORIT]

Thank you for these updates.!

[@solanab]

Love these reviews and your videos!

[@Nineshadows44]

Big blanket is a cool idea. Only issue that I see coming to mind is if that's hanging off the bed like that it makes it an easy path for spiders to crawl up there. Yeah you weren't thinking about that before but you are now. You're welcome.

[@David-wo9un]

It is always fun to see you revise these products and share how they hold up over time. Does the Big Blanket fit in a regular washing machine or do you have to use a triple load machine at the laundry mat?

[@Donald_Shaw]

Great reviews... thanks so much!

[@boots11234]

Woooooooo a new review. Love the channel keep up the great work and stay safe in 2021

[@vikkiallan5605]

I love the travel hangers. I've had some for years and always pack them for trips

[@ponymoonshadow]

Freakin reviews, one question about the hexclad pan, did it retain its non-stick qualities? I don't give a care about discolorations, we don't buy cookware for looks, but does it stay nonstick! That matters to me more than anything else about the pan, if it still cooks well and is still nonstick. Thank you for your reply, anxiously awaiting your answer!

[@xione0825]

I think that is what he was implying when he said that its surface held up. I think he meant that it's still non stick.

[@smurphy131421]

I would like to see a viewer top 10/vote or gadgets that your viewers liked the most. For example, I bought the gotham pasta pot because of your video and I love it. I also bought the dreamfarm tongs because of your video. I wanted the garlic press but $45 bucks no way. The ninja foodie grill is also a great product, and I enjoyed your video of it as well.

[@yoyobah1862]

The jaffle maker is a staple in Aussie kitchens, throw a spaghetti and cheese sanga in for a snack or Crack a couple of eggs in for brekky, even a quick omlette. And don't forget some cake mix for a dessert.

[@todd-makes-videos]

I had one similar to Gotham. Ended up throwing it away after a couple years - just a pain to clean since the grates don't come out and cheese gets stuck in every crevice.

[@teganmurphy4473]

That type is the most common in Australia, typically we don’t clean them after every use, just scrape off the extra stuff once it’s dried up.

[@Pete0731]

Yeah I know what your trainer is going through. I’m 6’8” and finding blankets big enough, isn’t fun lol

[@PierreaSweedieCat]

The cars sucked, but I was cheering for Bailey!

[@onetom2222]

I've bought a magnetic charging cable recently. Maybe it's not a good idea for a review but I like it a lot and figure charging cables are something a lot of people would be interested in

[@beez1717]

I'm loving my foodi pressure cooker a ton so I know other foodi line products will also be amazing :)

[@Donteatacowman]

It's so odd to watch your pillow reviews because you like them thin. I meanwhile need to have like 5 pillows minimum. Like... literally, I have one of those armchair pillows, then two pillows stacked on, plus two neck pillows. But you take a single thin pillow and lie down flat and you're like, "Hm... too thick for me." 😂

[@iAteYourDog69]

Could be an indication of heart problems. Look it up

[@welding_guy7524]

The Gotham steel type sandwich maker has been around since the 90s..my mom still has her original from the 90s, we used it for tuna melts, pancakes, brownies etc..

[@urban1337]

The two things I bought because of this channel’s reviews The Coldest Water Bottle and BlendJet 2 They’re both pretty good, I use both every single day

[@ColdStoneRacing]

Hell yeah! I was hoping for a new upload!

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

You know, those dry wipes? You could probably wet them with isopropyl alcohol instead and have a handy disinfectant wipe for the car. Probably mentioned by other people before, but just thought I'd mention it.

[@emilyrundel7877]

Bought my ninja foodi grille after watching your original video! I LOVE IT. Still my go to for most of my foods. How is your top grate holding up? Mine looks like its been through war and I'm not too sure why since i'm always so careful with the washing.

[@rosewood513]

They used to sell a bag that you would slip a grilled cheese sandwich in so you can drop them in the toaster. It worked great. Perfect sandwich every time. I used to be a professional reviewer also. Rachael Rae pot set is an excellent buy. I still have the set after 10 years, also try the Emeril Lagasse Forever pans. they are a higher end pan I have several they are wonderful.

[@mixeddrinks8100]

you convinced me to get the red copper flip and I still use it everytime I want to toast some bread in the morning, takes no time and makes no sound. Unlike the airfryer I usually use for toasting bread.

[@Sabbathissaturday]

the towels you can find at daiso.. they have a lt of mini stuff that grow on water.

[@lauranolastnamegiven3385]

once you've accumulated so many options for cooking - fry pans, ovens, etc - how do you decide which to use?

[@highnoon9333]

I love my phone mount - it goes in my CD slot, which I never use. It's great because it doesn't take up/block any vents or cupholders.

A little over a decade ago I had one of those wall racers, but it was overpowered and could also drive on the ceiling lol

James, I have to say you would probably have the best garage sale if you ever decide to clean out the bone yard. Then again, buyer beware, has to be a reason why something ended up in the land of forgotten as seen on tv nostalgia 🤣

[@MustangSally7259]

I've been looking for a good pillow....gonna check out the beautyrest.

[@annisarich]

I love pillow my pad. Gonna try beauty rest pillow. I can do without a speciality grilled cheese press. Red copper flip is the old camping pie tool. The cars are interesting but my kids are too old and don’t have me ant grandkids yet. Ninja grill has me wanting to spend, could be a good drunk Amazonian purchase
