Kohl's Gadget Haul: Testing 6 Interesting Buys!

[@lizh6578]

I had one like the rocket as a child. Less than thrilling and no advances in all those years. And that was nearly 60 years ago.

[@surnis9043]

At least, in those ads in comics in the 60s, these were a few cents. Now it,s over an hour of minimum wage! Though I don,t know how many tubes of Cloveline salves a kid had to sell to be desapointed with this back then!

[@explosivemonkeys]

Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent content and being such a genuine person! I always look forward to your uploads. Take care, James!

[@umbrellacorp.]

I saw that Reaction Rocket thingy in old 90's cable commercials when I was a kid. I had no idea they are still around. I can't believe it's still the same as always.

[@tarstarkusz]

A much worse version of what I had as a kid. The rockets we had you fill like 1/4 of the way with water. Then it attached to a handheld launcher with a built in air pump. YOu pump it about 20 or 30 times and when you hit the button, the rocket would launch. It hit like 30-40 feet. Not bad for something that doesn't need any chemical consumables.

[@shannondore]

[@gaylec258]

I have one of those mini choppers. It was my mother's. I don't know what brand, and I know I've had it for 20 years. Heaven knows how long she had it before then. Granted, it may not do as well as your fancy Ninja, but when it's all you've ever used, I think it does great. Up until recently, the only time I used it, was rarely, and only for onions and green peppers. Problem was, it would chop them too fine, and there would be too much "juice". Then about 6 months ago, I had a recipe that called for shredded, beef. I figured, what the heck. I cut the beef in to little 3/8 inch cubes. It didn't just shred it, it pulverized it. I was impressed. I recently used it again on chicken. So, don't knock those little choppers too bad. They get the job done adequately. Have you ever taken a product back, that's done so poorly, and gotten a refund? I think I'd do that with the rocket thingy. Not like you don't have proof, and "witnesses" to back you up on it's utter failure.

[@BriBCG]

I just bought a mini food processor, I almost got the Ninja but I didn't like the idea of it having a battery inside which will eventually fail. Ended up getting a plug in Kitchenaid one which will hopefully work as well.

[@WinterWitch01]

If it’s the Kitchen Aid mini chopper, you’ll love it. It’s powerful, easy cleanup and I’ve had mine for probably seven years and it’s holding up just fine. Plus dishwasher safe

[@greggchaffin1596]

The way the rocket slowly crawled out of the test tube Lmfaoooo

[@lorrefl7072]

I've had one of those little humidifiers (not this brand) and it works but the problem with this mist is that after using it for a while everything in that room will have a white film over it. I used Britta filter water but even then there was enough limescale left in the water. Now I have a more expensive humidifier that blows the water through a filter so you get humid air that blows out instead of mist.

[@Fish_FL.]

Those mini-choppers sometimes work better is your pulse them. The burning plastic odor isn’t unusual with some small or even larger appliances. I bought a IP Vortex oven that I can’t use because of the fumes. It doesn’t get past the first test run with the fumes hurting my chest.

[@FflawedMetalhead]

This has been a pretty fun series, I hope it sticks around! That rocket was a total bust though - I know it wasn't going to launch 100ft, but did it even clear 10 inches?

[@lucdekeratry6150]

I was looking for a comment like this. When I was little I thought it was one of the tornado machines they have at museums that uses some sort of smoke or vapor to make a tornado and it took me several days to to realize you’re supposed to put water in it 😂😂

[@hotfiyah]

$80 for a humidifier that isn't top fill is wild.

[@GypsyRose666]

especially since i can get the Vicks brand cool mist one from walmart for 43 and a warm mist one for 42

[@vaxick]

Plenty of expensive ultrasonic humidifiers aren't top fill. You're also also not going to find it in a Vornado ultrasonic one as they operate a bit differently than other ultrasonic humidifiers. Vornado uses a secondary large fan inside of theirs to push the mist upwards preventing it from falling back to the floor allowing them to be placed on the floor without concerns of the ground getting wet.

[@hotfiyah]

"Vornado" is a brand of fans that are fairly expensive. I bought one of them with a floor stand. The switch (I think) went bad just after the five-year warranty expired. I'm going to take it to see if it can be repaired. Apparently Vornado makes a line of ultrasonic and evaporative humidifiers. At $80, it looks like you got off pretty lightly, compared to other models.

[@kellylamoree977]

James, I’m surprised you haven’t come across Vornado products before. They make fans and small heater. They were a little pricey but worth it. The fans and heaters were silent as advertised and very safe as far as surfaces and being knocked over. They were sold in stores like bed bath and beyond. Just the name on the brand makes me very inclined to buy it. And they last for years - I’ve had a couple over ten years and still going strong !

I had a Cuisinart mini chopper for a long time, but the blade stem started developing cracks. When that and my old full size Cuisinart died after 40 years (it was Mom’s), I replaced them both with one new food processor. We have an original Ninja chopper that came with two jars (small and full blender size), but that’s over 10 years old too and it’s developing some hairline cracks. I much prefer the flat top on your Ninja. Mine nests the motor in a top that’s difficult to clean. If you have one as old as mine, you know what I’m talking about.

[@barefootkid592.0]

Love the chopper review, had one for years to make baby food (50 watt) Great for a small portions steamed the veggies and meat. Poured into ice cube trays. Warm and serve. Don’t use it much now but it will be replaced by Ninja if it dies.

[@dottiepark]

I use the mini chopper to process canned chunky cat food into a finer consistency for my older cat. We're talking a small quantity of food so the mini chopper is perfect for the task, plus everything goes in the dishwasher. I have a big and mini Cuisinart for the tougher stuff.

[@tarstarkusz]

When I was a kid I had an air powered water rocket. You filled it 1/4 or something with water, then you put it on the pump/launcher and pump it up with air. The air expels the water out the nozzle and creates quite a bit of thrust for what it was. It would easily go as high as the 2.5 stories to the roof (like 30ft). That is with an 8 year old pumping it. Problem is it was very hard plastic and would fall to the ground or, just as often, my neighbor's cars.

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

I am really glad you reviewed the rocket. I have a 9 year old grandson, and was actually thinking of getting one of these for him, since he has shown a lot of interest in science based toys in the past. I think I will wait and get him something better. I am a disabled vet, and even for a $20 item, I have to save money back to get him things. it would have really pissed me off to spend money on something so disappointing for him. I am glad that Baily enjoyed treat ring. my dog loves peanut butter as well. I don't know that he would care about the ring even after the peanut butter was gone.

[@renezescribe1229]

Great review, James, as always. Bonus info Home humidifiers are great and all, especially if you live somewhere up North where you have to heat your home or appartement for long periods of time during the winter months, to prevent excessively dry air. ^But, one important detail about any humidifier that shouldn't be overlooked^: the ultrasonic unit creating the water vapor has a terrible down side: the water vapor carries with it the minerals contained in the water and eventually settles down everywhere in the house as a thin white dust. The harder the water, the more mineral dust you will end up with. This "mineral dust", if left unchecked, can cause throat irritation, headaches, itchy eyes and unexpected coughing. The only solution to this problem is to buy a water filter (pitcher or faucet attachment). The aim is to remove the minerals in the water as much as possible. Only then can you "feed" safely the humidifier, with this filtered water. Just thought it would be a good thing to let your viewers know...

[@nicolejasch6530]

This was super helpful! Just got a humidifier and was wondering what the white dust was, guess I’m filling it with the brita from now on. Thanks!
