$300 Clock: Bizarre, Amazing... or BOTH?!

A next-gen clock, a Cheetos gadget throwback, and hot deals you can’t miss! ⏳🔥

This week I’ve got something wild and unique to share: a $300 next-gen clock that might just be the most bizarre (or brilliant) timepiece I’ve ever reviewed. Plus, I’m taking a quick trip down memory lane to revisit a Cheetos-crushing gadget, and I’ve found some great deals that you won’t want to miss! 💰

Let’s jump in! ⬇️

NEW VIDEO ALERT 📽️
$300 Animated Klydoclock!

Is this clock bizarre, amazing, or BOTH?

🕰️ My latest video is live, and today I'm diving into something truly unique: the Klydoclock! Is this $300 "next-generation" clock bizarre, amazing, or BOTH?

It’s got dual HD screens, mesmerizing daily animations, and even a virtual pendulum. But does it justify the hefty price tag? 💸

Click below to join me as I unpack, set up, and test out this intriguing gadget. Let's see if the Klydoclock deserves a spot on your mantle, or if it's all just hype! 🎬

DEALS 🏷️
Stanley Quencher H2.0: 25% Off

Remember the wild Stanley Cup craze from early 2024? It may have fizzled out, but Stanley tumblers are still a solid choice, and I own a couple myself. Today, I spotted a 25% off deal on the Quencher H2.0, bringing the price down to around $25, which is a great price for a high-quality tumbler. Now’s a good time to plan ahead for summer, before all the warm-weather essentials go back to full price! ☀️

🔥 Best-Selling Warming Mat – 76% Off
You might remember my recent review of a food warming mat, a product that has gained popularity over the last few years. Today, I noticed that the #1 Best Seller in its category is on sale. While the 76% off claim might be a bit of marketing magic, the final price of $39.99 is still nearly half the price of similar models, making this a deal worth checking out.

💾 Lexar 1TB SSD – 55% Off
If you’ve followed my newsletters, you know I’m a storage junkie (it comes with the territory of producing videos every week!). So when I saw this 1TB Lexar SSD for about $50, I had to do a double-take. That’s an insanely good deal for a 2.5” solid-state drive! With over 10,000 reviews averaging 4.6 stars, and from a brand I’ve personally used many times, this is a steal for extra storage.

Soften Brown Sugar!
Place a slice of bread or a few marshmallows in the container to keep brown sugar from hardening.

ON THIS DATE 🗓️
Cheetos Duster (2024)

Great display piece, but did it actually WORK?

🔥 One year ago today, I posted my review of the Cheetos Duster, a gadget that looked like a mini BlendJet but had one very specific purpose: turning Cheetos into powder for toppings.

While I loved the design, its blending power left a lot to be desired, especially compared to my Ninja Express Chop. But was it at least fun to use? (Spoiler: Yes. 😂)

If you missed it the first time around, click below to check out this quirky review! 🎬

🕰️Today’s video is not my first clock review! While you may recall the projection clock I reviewed only two months ago, you may have missed the clock fan I tested way back in 2019, the clock safe in 2020, or the extraordinarily low-tech Temu Clock in 2023.

SMART SHOPPING 🛒
Three Tips for Wiser Shopping

Use a Burner Email for Sign-Ups: Retailers often offer first-time discounts for new email subscribers. Use a secondary email to claim these offers multiple times.

Watch Out for ‘Fake Urgency’: Many stores use countdown timers or “only X left in stock” warnings to pressure you into buying. Take a moment to verify if the urgency is real. If you’ve ever been on Temu, you’ve probably noticed this on virtually every listing!

Ignore Inflated List Prices: Some products are permanently ‘on sale’ because the original price was artificially high. Use price-tracking tools like Keepa to check if it’s really a deal.

That’s it for this week! Whether you’re intrigued by the Klydoclock, reminiscing about the Cheetos Duster, or grabbing one of the great deals I found, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Hit reply and let me know what you think!

As always, thanks for being part of the Freakin’ Reviews community. I appreciate you!
