❄️ New Review + Q&A + Deals!

I’ve got a packed newsletter for you today, including two new videos, a throwback to a past review, and some great shopping tips!

🌤️ Here in Vegas, we’re enjoying some nice weather, but I know that much of the country is dealing with cold, snow, and ice. If you're in the middle of a winter storm, I hope you’re staying safe and warm!

Today’s video puts four unique gadgets to the test, and all of these gadgets promise to make life easier in some way. Plus, I’m linking to my latest Q&A, where I answer over 30 viewer questions, and revisiting a product I reviewed exactly one year ago. Let’s dive in!

Are These Gadgets Useful? Let’s Find Out!

Today, I’m testing four unique gadgets, each with an interesting promise. Some seem useful, some seem fun… but do they actually work? Let’s find out!

Here’s what I tested:

🛡️ TableCoaster – A non-tip coaster designed to keep your drinks safe from spills. Does it really stick as well as they claim?
🧤 Therapy Mittens – Heated mittens that promise relief for cold hands and sore joints. Cozy or clunky?
🍫 Brownie Bite Mold – A silicone mold for making perfect mini brownies. Easy to use or a baking fail?
📺 TV Screen Amplifier – A retro-style screen magnifier for your phone. Does it actually enhance the viewing experience?

Click below to see these gadgets in action and find out which ones (if any) are worth adding to your home!

NEW VIDEO ALERT 📽️
February Q&A

The video above isn’t my only upload this week! Over the weekend, I released my February 2025 Q&A, where I answer over 30 questions, including many from channel members.

Plus, keep an eye out for some lost footage from 2001 that I recently rediscovered, featuring a glimpse of my receding hairline back in the day! 😆

DEALS 🏷️
🔥DJI Power Station: 55% Off

I bought this exact model last year for nearly double what it’s selling for this week. These are fantastic for emergencies, road trips, camping, or anywhere you need extra power off the grid. Power outages are a constant risk during extreme weather, and this unit helps keep your devices running when you need them most. At 55% off, this is an absolute steal!

🔌 4-Port USB Hub – 50% Off

If the cost of the deal above is a bit much, how about this killer $4 deal? This compact USB hub is perfect for adding extra ports to your laptop, whether you're working at home, in the office, or on the go. Small, lightweight, and extremely budget-friendly, this is one of those handy gadgets you won’t regret having in your bag.

💾 M.2 Drives – 25-40% Off

I rely on M.2 drives for storage, and today, I spotted some great discounts across several brands. The 4TB Western Digital model is 33% off (saving about $100), I just ordered one myself! Samsung also has models on sale, with some as much as 38% off. If you've been waiting for a deal on M.2 storage, today is the day to pull the trigger!

ON THIS DATE 🗓️
Amazon’s Best Selling Juicer (2024)

Exactly one year ago, I tested a #1 Best Seller in Amazon’s Juicer category, a model by Canoly. It worked surprisingly well, but here’s the twist: the original listing is now completely different! 🤔

Why would the top-selling juicer vanish from Amazon? A mystery for the ages! But let’s take a look back at my review of the original model and see how it held up.

SMART SHOPPING 🛒
Three Tips for Wiser Shopping

Avoid Free Trial Pitfalls – Signing up for a free trial? Set a calendar reminder to cancel before you're charged. Many services auto-renew at full price.

Check Store Return Policies for Opened Items – Some retailers allow returns only if the packaging is unopened, while others have more lenient policies. Always double-check before breaking the seal.

Use Subscription Services Wisely – If you shop frequently, services like Amazon Subscribe & Save or Walmart+ can provide significant savings on repeat purchases, but you’ll need to still keep an eye on prices, which can vary - and your subscription could be sent out when an item is at its most expensive.
