NEW VIDEO ALERT 📽️
🛠️5 Strange Temu Gadgets

My latest video just dropped! 🎥 This time I’m testing five unusual gadgets from Temu… all viewer requests, plus a couple I spotted making the rounds online. Here’s what I tried:

🔸 A wrist thermostat that instantly reminded me of the Embr Wave I tested years ago.
🔸 A sandwich cutter that gave off serious Uncrustables vibes. 🍞
🔸 A phone gripper that worked great… until it didn’t. 📱
🔸 A Stanley Cup divider that lets you carry two drinks in one cup. 🥤🥤
🔸 A combo ice cube tray/cup which is a great idea in theory, but the execution? Not so chill. ❄️

Click below to watch the full video as I test out all five of these products.

DEALS 🏷️
Wraparound Sunglasses: 49% Off

This one's a favorite of my son Brandon, who wears them constantly. Since he wears glasses and doesn’t want to shell out for pricey prescription sunglasses, these are his go-to. If they get scratched or lost, no big deal, which is way cheaper than the real thing. They’re currently under $20, so it might be a good time to snag a pair.

💧 Cetaphil Moisturizer – 20% Off
I get it… moisturizer isn’t exactly thrilling. But living in a dry climate, I slather this stuff on daily. It’s one of those boring-but-essential items, and at 20% off, even better. As soon as I’m done with this newsletter, I’m adding another jar to my cart.

📍 AirTag-Compatible Trackers – 50% Off
If you’re like me and love the idea of tracking everything but hate the price of official AirTags, this 4-pack of compatible trackers might be perfect. It’s under $30 for all four, making them around $7 each. Not bad for peace of mind. These are also currently in my Amazon cart! 🧳🔑🐶

Freshen Up Your Microwave the Easy Way
Got lingering smells or splatter stains in your microwave? Here’s a simple fix:

Fill a microwave-safe bowl with 1 cup of water and a few slices of lemon (or a couple tablespoons of vinegar). Microwave on high for 3–5 minutes, then let it sit with the door closed for another 2 minutes. The steam loosens grime and neutralizes odors. Just wipe clean with a paper towel. ✨

Bonus: It makes your kitchen smell amazing 🍋

📺 My Top 10 for May 2025 is live! This playlist highlights the most popular videos on Freakin’ Reviews right now. While my recent Chillwell’s surge to the top of the chart may not be surprising, the re-entry of three older Ninja reviews is a bit eyebrow-raising! Check out the full playlist to see if there’s a gem you missed, or a video worth rewatching!

FACEBOOK VIDEO SPOTLIGHT
Swopt!

If you enjoy catching videos on Facebook, today’s spotlight shines on my review of the Swopt cleaning system, originally posted on YouTube back in 2020 🧹.

This collection of cleaning gadgets made a solid impression then, and now it's found new life on Facebook. Funny enough, five years later I still use the Swopt broom out on my patio. Durable and dependable! 💪
