[@Telcomvic]

I think the rotating air freshener would be too distracting for me.

[@stangeric1]

Its too fast. I like it tho. Ill set it in the back of the car.

[@joriswilson7988]

Was thinking the same thing lol. Might save it for the window by my desk

[@basavarajgonvar6698]

I do agree

[@user-ee6lk1pb6w]

How is it too distracting? I instantly got bored of it and stop paying attention to it. You guys mostly likely have a short attention span

[@azlantalat3421]

It will never work at nighttime driving

[@MagicScorpio]

Bought those vent covers about 5 years ago. People love them. Also, I’m not adjusting my vents nonstop so I cut them to where my vents stay. They match well with the red leather seats.

[@thehouseofjacquelyn.4444]

I read reviews that the color fades pretty quick. Did you have that problem?

[@MagicScorpio]

@@thehouseofjacquelyn.4444 I bought my car over 6 years ago. Got tints at 20/30 percent within first 2 months. Windshield Is slightly less tinted. Got the vent covers maybe 6 months after tints. Color is the same as when I bought it. Not even faded the slightest. Maybe it’s the tints. Maybe they are different. I paid like $2 total and did 4 different vents. So…TL;dr… mine are still good. Still have extra pieces in my center console and they look identical. Very cool update for almost no money. I recommend getting them if you like the look.

[@richiethev4623]

@@thehouseofjacquelyn.4444 I assuming the color must fade for those regular window's since the sun beams in and age's thing's quicker. On the other hand if you have tinted window's thus causing the sun not to beam in as much the color fading issue will be no issue for you..

[@DizzyPillow]

@@thehouseofjacquelyn.4444 Mine faded pretty quick. Blue to Silver so honestly still doesnt look too bad. No window tint or anything so that may effect it.

[@metern]

Be aware that the Solar Air Freshener can damage your dashboard if the sunlight pass trough the glass sphere. I had the same gadget, and it did leave a burnt mark across my dashboard.

[@soupsgord]

Oh good tip! Never thought of that!

[@thomascozart1095]

Ouch! I think it would be very distracting when driving.

[@Mercury_Shadow]

Can confirm, They tell you to cover fortune teller crystal balls and contact juggle balls because they can reflect the sun and start fires; NOT! for the commonly believed reason that the sun can damage the crystal.

[@koi.in.pond3149]

I had a paper weight do that ! It could of started a house fire.

[@nightowl8548]

I was wondering about that. Especially in Vegas. Gets pretty hot there. Fire waiting to hsppen!

[@cyberi4a]

For the mirror phone holder, in my state you would get a ticket for driving with something hanging from your mirror since it blocks your view while driving if someone was crossing the street or a child running out. Years ago they had those auto fan gadgets and they never worked.

[@munkustrap2]

I thought all states had a law against driving with things hanging from your mirror...I know MA does, though in 41 years of driving I've never gotten a ticket.

[@drfreud65]

Same in Iowa.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

When the tree incenses began to be used as an excuse to profile people and stop them, I stopped hanging anything on my mirrors.

[@sandybruce9092]

I don’t know if NC has this law but I wouldn’t use the camera holder that drops from the mirror because it would drive me crazy! I’m going to stick with a good cup camera holder - when using GPS I always keep it,plugged in as this use really takes down the power.

[@calvin6314]

He ran a red light at 8:30 lol

[@frozedokkanbattle]

Love when James does car gadgets videos it genuinely helps me with stuff I may want for my car. Especially his dash cam videos definitely have helped me want to get a dash cam for my car for insurance purposes to shows who’s at fault in a accident

[@musicmaniac32]

I just finished installing a dash cam. I didn't want to stick the adhesive on my windshield so I bought a rearview mirror dash cam holder on Amazon. I highly recommend it!

[@xbrthrhdx]

In Florida it doesn't matter. Such a bummer.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

I like the bling vent edge covers. The clip on the visor also came in handy during the pandemic for hanging masks! My kids used them for that.

[@drfreud65]

Between monkeypox and Covid-19, we're still using our masks.

[@ronnie-being-ronnie]

Just a note…in VA it is illegal to have stuff hanging from the mirror, and having an air freshener will get you in trouble, too, because it’s obviously intended to hide the smell of drugs or alcohol (eye roll). Nothing on the dash or vents, or hanging off the rear view mirror, or on the glass except required stickers. Check your own state laws for weirdness.

[@jeffreythomason1113]

This is my absolute go to page for enlightenment and entertainment! James, that's an awful big responsibility on your part keeping me entertained and enlighted. Please vacuum up those blue fuzzy things on the passenger seat. Thanks for the laughs

[@membear]

That mirror phone holder looks like a traffic ticket waiting to happen for obstructed view.

[@davidleis9160]

Sooo great to hear you tell the price after each item

[@pjwood220]

I didn't hear a price for phone holder

[@tanakability]

Yeahhh that phone holder is pretty much a very big blind spot for your windshield. Pretty sure it would be illegal in Europe.

[@gaiacelt]

Anything hanging off your rearview mirror while driving is illegal here, too.

[@Oceangirl_505]

As a short person I've never found one that didn't block my vision.

[@travellingslim]

For those thinking about the Mirror Phone Holder in the USA, depending on which state you are in and how the police are with enforcement, you may get pulled over for having an obstructed view. Buyer beware!

[@shel.b.1090]

Think the same would apply here in the uk.

[@aliceakosota797]

Ftp

[@gwine9087]

It's huge. About 4 times the size of mine that clips to the vent.

[@kh23797]

@@shel.b.1090 Correct, it is an infraction in the UK now-but there is a solution. On late teens VWs like my Polo (2018) and I presume other makes too, the phone can be run through the Infotainment screen via a skinny USB cable. Great for Waze, Sygic, Google Maps etc. More recently, VW's version has become wireless Bluetooth. Either way, there is no need to look at the phone itself. Progress!

[@Freakie1NL]

As it should (getting pulled over for this). An motorcycle can definitely disappear behind that. Absolutely dangerous.

[@Robutube1]

"They're very highly rated on Amazon". Oh dear, who's going to tell him?

[@happyfuntimepewpew]

the phone holder may not be legal in some states, as it obstructs the windshield view. some states do not allow anything to hang from the rear view mirror.

[@Mercury_Shadow]

Exactly what I came to say.

[@TheFallenFaob]

I saw an ad for something like this on Facebook but it sticks down much farther so I made this same comment but I don't think the company liked it and it got taken down as spam

[@Goblindru]

yep. its a misdemeanor in Texas

[@jamesberton7947]

most cops don't stop you for that. most likely if they do cite you for it it's because they stopped you for something else anyway.

[@MissleT0E]

@@jamesberton7947 damn right! cop pulled me over for beating the light change, but also said he would have ticketed me for cracked windshield and tinted license plates… he let me go instead… 😂

[@ShirlBussman]

I always love these reviews. You and Vivian Tries are my very favorites. Thanks James. 🤗🤗

[@HughsReviews]

I appreciate you putting the gadget in the thumbnail first in the video.

[@penny1186]

The phone holder blocks your view and could cause an accident. It might also violate some traffic laws

[@dungeonbrownies]

With the fact that a dustbuster is $25, I can't imagine anyone buying that minivac

[@alexdoan273]

well you can put this in your glove compartment, also it's usb-c powered so you can charge it using your car

[@Superman-xr1oh]

A dustbuster is big and clunky, where are you going to conveniently fit that in your car? Also, unless you have a modern car that has a 120v outlet in it already, then you're going need a 12v converter just to charge this in your car.

[@ericjones-jc8gu]

I also had one of the solar vent devices back in 1990....something, one would think that the technology/performance would have improved in three decades. The solar device was interesting, it reminded my (warped) mind of the prisoner holding thing in Superman II. Another entertaining review, keep 'em coming. 👍👍

[@laurallewien2165]

Thanks Eric, I'm sitting here wondering now where have I seen those rotating rings before ....and bam! Superman 2, 🦸‍♂️ of course! Have a great day 😀

[@deeznuts1358]

It baffles me that people genuinely buy this junk. You’ve reviewed few products that aren’t cheap and actually useful. Just extremely relaxing to watch your videos!

[@frankie9259]

Your channel just keeps getting better and better . Thanks for putting so much time , effort and money into these reviews .

[@jer103]

The only product that I would get is the air pump, but I got a similar one that is DC powered for my local hardware store for $8. Who's going to pay $80 for the Fanttik X8? There are much cheaper options, and there a tire air pump at most gas stations.

[@sylverscale]

Well, I don't even have a car - I still love watching those. 😁 As for the vaccum cleaner, that's pretty expensive. I've got one I use for small cleanups in the home. It's a little bigger but comes with several attachments including a tube to clean harder to reach spaces. The filter is metal so will last way longer. Cost me about $35.

[@Caitlin1928]

The thing about the air freshener is that it's on the dash and it's such a major distraction. If it didn't move at all, it would be one thing, but I think I'd be constantly distracted by it moving all the time.

[@TobiasMH1992]

That first air freshener is a FIRE HAZARD!!! The glass sphere can act as a magnifying glass and set fire to your dash

[@Nilboggen]

That vacuum is actually a pretty good deal if it really has an 80,000 rpm brushless motor as they advertise.

[@sandybruce9092]

I did like the car vacuum but the price is just too much for me.

[@IPoopButterflies]

"A lake card before Lake Meade disappears." Was so savage xD

[@TungstenCarbideProjectile]

I love how you go into every product like a wide eyed consumer. And will never be jaded by the million reviews you've done already.

[@Oceangirl_505]

May I just say that for a guy, your cars and kitchens are consistently quite clean and organized. Mad respect

[@JA-ob6zz]

If I’d be making a video I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have my house looking like a mess with thousands of followers but if it is that clean then respect lol

[@Oceangirl_505]

[@rachelrodgers9171]

I really love that first one, the solar powered orb spinner. I've seen several of your videos with that on your dashboard and was instantly intrigued. It is mesmerizing to watch.

[@JohnnyK60]

I liked the small black center bling vent area offsetting the red.

[@superbmediacontentcreator]

I remember the window fan in the 80s and it worked about the same! Another great review and many of the products you've featured I have actually bought and used and have promoted to friends.

[@alanguile8945]

Cut a short piece of an air vent cover and slide it over the top of the short cover if possible, then when you have the vent control set as you want it you can slide the new piece to cover the gap. That got stranger the more I tried to explain !🤪

[@trailerwookie]

As for the air vent trims, just put them on the top two pieces and leave the bottom two off.

[@appleimacdude]

The ATEM car air purifier is something I love - HEPA filter for the car - has strap to hang from headrests, app is a bit wonky, but you can always reach behind and turn the unit on or off. Makes the A/C feel fresher and colder to me, and it won't drain your battery if left on accidentally. It will refuse to come on if the inside is too hot until it cools down a bit - but I still love this gizmo. Intend to have them switch the black case on mine to white case they use on desk models to hopefully stay cooler.

[@Mawyman2316]

14:07 I love that at least the left button has a sun on it (clearly a brightness setting) while you are talking about how dim it is lol.

[@951penalozahugo]

0:50 My friends: "This looks cool, what is it?" "Thanks I'm pretty proud of this bad boy, check it out. I put a tessellated void inside a modified temporal field until a planet developed intelligent life. I then introduced that life to the wonders of electricity, which they now generate in a global scale and, you know, some of it goes to power my engine and charge my phone and junk"

[@Skullthegamer843]

Now i can listen music on my car with phone holder

[@trekkeruss]

The brass attachment for the Fanttik inflator at 13:18 is a presta valve adapter. Presta valves (also known as French valves) are found on high-end bicycles. I don't have the inflator, but I do have the Fanttik T8 jump starter, which is great.

[@expertadvice4u]

Those are actually pretty interesting products I have never heard of.

[@MichaelG63]

Another great video, James! I really appreciate all the things you demonstrate for us! I think the air freshener would distract me while I was driving, plus I'd be afraid the scent is too strong. I am going to order the vent covers just like the ones you had because the exterior of my car is red. I've used something like the visor clips before and have always ended up breaking them. The mirror phone holder looks like it works great, but having anything hanging down under the mirror is illegal in many states because of the vision it blocks while driving. I bought a different new car vac 2 weeks ago that works pretty well. I have a car inflator, but the one you showed is smaller and looked like it worked pretty well. The auto fan isn't worth the effort or risk of rain damage.

[@barbarajeanne8351]

I've had the sunglass holder from dollar tree for about 3 years,still works great

[@Oceangirl_505]

Me too!

[@jasminemaher8641]

I had one of the original auto fans. I felt they did help only slightly. When compared to leaving it with and without it on various days. It did help for stuffiness.

[@bland9876]

I genuinely thought that every car had the anti-glare flip button and that most people don't know what it does.

[@kriscynical]

I have the vent covers! Mine are in blue. They're a little tricky to put on but once you do, I really like how they look. I never move around my vents so it doesn't matter to me that it hinders that.

[@DarKnightKilla13]

Seems to me that phone holder would be excellent for Uber and Lyft drivers. I've had a few drivers who complain about their phone falling out or downwards with vent holders, and they constantly have to re-adjust it... heck, might get it for my own car!

[@Fatman305]

I've had a few of those holders that fell off the vent. Then I got a new one with an adjustable metal hook that hugs the vent from inside. Holder hasn't fallen off in months.

[@ThreePhase470]

@@Fatman305 link?

[@neilwilliams2907]

It would sadly be illegal in the UK as it blocks the view through the windscreen.

[@RogueAstro85]

I got a magnet one that attaches to my vent from five below and it worked perfectly when I did door dash. Though I might go for the mirror one just because I live in Texas and am tired of it blocking the vent

[@DarKnightKilla13]

@@RogueAstro85 I actually think I've seen that magnet one at Five Below here, and I'm in CT. Five Below, gotta love that store.

[@TheRogueBro]

My main concern with that air fresher is that if you get into an accident, there is nothing holding it together and it will become a projectile!

[@miamiceprincess]

I love your honesty about testing all kinds of products. I think the solar air freshener would drive me crazy sitting on my dash. I could never use a sunglass holder because I need my sunglasses every time I go outside. but it seems like they could be useful for other things. I'm afraid to use one of those window fans for fear it would make it too easy to break into my car (I don't have a garage).

[@alexanderpasnl]

I am a model builder and I am using a tiny vacuum like the shown one for when I make trees or static grass. Normally you would suck the exces product with a sock or stocking over a vacuum cleaner, so you can reuse it. Flock, grass and so on is crazy expensive so you don't want to waste anything. Now I have a mini vac in my drawer ready instead of getting the large one. Since I don't ever use it to random vacuuming, there is nothing else in there than the product I want te retrieve. I think it's better suited for this than to use in a car or so.

[@Kiyoko191290]

The phone holder for the rear view mirror would be illegal in the UK because if police can prove you glanced at a notification while driving then they can give you a ticket

[@kingblatz]

The phone holder can cause all kinds of problem with view and mirrors falling off off of old cars. We all know what a pain that is make sure you sell that with disclaimer of liability. Thanks for the work you do cheers.

[@mCblue79]

Yeah I always leave my credit cards clipped to my sun visors. I like potential theives being able to see them

[@beez1717]

The auto fan seems like a great idea until you realize you have to put it on your window and that means it would have to be made with your car's specific windows in mind so it would fit flush and actually suck the hot air out of the car. I would redesign it so it's like the key lockboxes on the cars at the dealership that use thin metal clips. You'd use the metal around the window as a heat sink and radiate heat out of the car using the fan. That would probably work much better. You could also use a piezoelectric heat sink to get the heat out much better. Sure it would be more expensive but it would WORK.

[@lasskinn474]

you mean a peltier? the problem with sinking the heat out is that the car gets like 500w-3kw of heat into it if it's sitting in sunlight. pumping that with a heat pump of any kind while it's sitting in the sun would need all of the car covered in solar panels (or getting power from the engine) really best place would probably be somewhere where the car vents out air out of normally, in the boot or something. maybe something that just has it's own battery that charges when the car is driven. then you could leave the windows closed. also the design is kinda stupid with the solar panel being inside the window, as the window is designed to filter everything but visible light(to among other things reduce how hot it gets inside)

[@Doohickeydongle]

The air freshener ball also doubles a lethal projectile in the case of accident. 😳

[@retro8696]

In each car accident I've been in its always been the rear view mirror that becomes the lethal projectile and hit me in the head.

[@baronvg]

That tire inflator looks like an early 2000s MP3 player that’s been on a low carb/high protein diet.

[@bluephreakr]

Binder clips reign supreme - an office staple that's cheap as chips. If the tongues are a problem, just flip 'em down and whenever you need a card it's just a few simple actions to pull them in and out. Large rubber bands could also work with more fragile things, wrapped around the visor.

[@TravelBossNas]

I had those same visor clips. And I didn’t like them. The glasses would jiggle and make noise and it really annoyed me.

[@coondogtheman]

One thing I know about the small portable vacuums is the extremely fine dust clogs up the filter quick and then you need to blow it out with the air compressor. At least the vac you have has a blower feature.

[@Hybris51129]

I really wish you could have tested that tire inflator's claim of being able to do 150 psi. A lot of proper compact air compressors struggle to reach their rated 120 psi. I also have to question how much run time you have before you have to let it cool.

[@compzac]

it will struggle, they always do, and im gonna bet he doesnt have any vehicle that has tires anywhere near that pressure as even the spare in his trunk would be 60, my other bet is that its gonna have the usual time of 15 minutes run time 30 minutes cool time.

[@AwkwardHistory]

You do such a good job with hand motions that highlight the product and keep the visual action going when doing voice overs. 🤩

[@stalkholm5227]

Is that Solar Air Freshener going to turn into a projectile if the driver gets into an accident? Because that's kind of horrifying to me.

[@RaynmanPlays]

I have a sunglasses clip. It came with my night driving glasses. Because both my night driving glasses and my sunglasses are the wraparound variety, they hang down pretty far. I find it's better to just use the sunglasses holder.

[@MikeTerry1969]

I bought the rear-view mirror phone holder and here are the problems for me: 1. The phone must be in landscape (horizontal) configuration. You'll see in the video that James tries at first to make it portrait (vertically) but realizes it doesn't work and makes it horizontal. If you try to insert it vertically the phone hits up against the bottom of the mirror. 2. The clamps that hold the sides of the phone press the buttons on the side of the phone. So the volume and power button buttons are constantly getting pushed when you put the phone in the cradle. It would have been perfect if the arm holding the phone was twice as long to give more distance between the top of the phone and the mirror. Also if the cradle had a bottom support as well as the two side supports so that the phone wasn't getting pinched so hard right where the buttons are.

[@StreetSoldierUK]

At last, I’ve been waiting to see the Mirror phone holder, I didn’t buy one because I thought it would be in the way, but after seeing this I’ll get one, nice one.

[@tamirundell8392]

Maybe the solar fan needs to be reimagined. Use it in a south or west facing window to move warm air around a room in the house to help warm in the winter months. It shuts off at night so that's good because the windows get cold with out solar radiation.

@@jdjd7127 If you're car won't start, then inflating the tires really won't matter; not to mention, you can use someone else's car to run it. I would agree though that a compressor or a battery booster is a much better investment for about the same money, or both for twice as much.
