I’m back with my third review of 2026 and I decided to get back to my roots with another egg gadget from a brand I’ve had pretty good luck with over the years: Hamilton Beach. I’ve also been busy vlogging over on F2. And as usual, I have some fresh Amazon deals and a throwback to one of my past reviews posted on this date.

Let’s dive in!

NEW VIDEO ALERT 📽️
Hamilton Beach Egg Bites Plus

This gadget makes eggs several different ways, but how were the results?

I tested a Hamilton Beach egg cooker that claims to be a “6-in-1” and put it through its paces with hard-boiled eggs, egg bites, poached eggs, and even scrambled eggs on the cooking surface. Some things worked surprisingly well, others took a bit of tweaking, and a couple of design choices left me scratching my head. If you’ve ever wondered whether one of these egg cookers is actually worth it, this one’s a pretty interesting case study.

DEALS 🏷️
Ninja Slushi Professional: 27% Off

If you’ve been thinking about pulling the trigger on the Ninja Slushi, this model is currently marked down from its regular price of $350 down to $270. They also have it available in a stylish orange mango color pallet. You can check it out here, or watch my review here.

Sausage Grill: 22% Off

If you plan to do any grilling for the Super Bowl, this Nostalgia Game Day Sausage and Brat grill may come in handy. It’s designed to make 5 sausages or hot dogs at once, without having to babysit. This usually sells for $44, but right now it’s available for $35.

Google Nest: 50% Off

I use this Google mesh router system in my home and I’ve been happy with it. It was easy to set up and has worked reliably for me. This particular model is currently half off, so if you’ve considered trying this out, this is a good time to buy.

Egg Tip

If you want hard-boiled eggs that peel more easily, crack them at the wide end first. That end of the egg has a small air pocket, and starting there makes it much easier to get under the membrane and remove the shell cleanly. Even when eggs aren’t perfectly fresh, this trick usually saves a lot of frustration..

FREAKIN’ 2
The Wizard of Oz at Sphere

It wasn’t quite what I expected.

I’ve been on a vlogging tear over on Freakin’ 2 the past couple weeks. My latest vlog, also posted today, includes my trip over to Sphere to see the Wizard of Oz experience and I discuss some of my pros and cons about the show.

The previous vlog features me and my son Brandon trying out JOLT cola - which I hadn’t tasted in decades. Does the OG energy drink still hold up after all these years? Check out that vlog here.

ON THIS DATE 🗓️
D Frost Wonder (2017) & Member BTS (2024)

I tested this out 9 years ago!

I have two “On This Date” videos for you. One of them was way back in 2017 when I tested out the D Frost Wonder, which you can see here. That was an As Seen on TV thawing plate that was being advertised at the time. This was pretty early in my YouTube career, so it has a much different feel that my current videos do.

If you’d like to see something a bit more recent from this date, I have a rare Behind the Scenes video I did for members on this date in 2024 that is now an unlisted video you can watch at this link.

SHORT SPOTLIGHT 🎥
Purple Pillow

It was my Purple Pillow video back in early 2018 that changed everything for my channel. Because that video is so old, I thought a short edit of the video that changed everything would be appropriate. If you never caught the original Purple Pillow review, this short is a nice summary.

That’s it for this week. As a reminder, my current plan is to post one review per week, on the weekends, but I am vlogging throughout the week over on F2 if you want to see what I’m up to in between reviews.

I had someone say “Happy New Year” to me this week, which made me wonder: How late in the year is too late to say that? With that in mind, I hope you are having a great start to your 2026!

Until next time,
James
