These updates are not only how I found your channel, but why I subbed. This is such a needed thing in an ocean of uncritical or even sponsored reviews.

Had to find someone to trust this day in age, i trust him though !

@samanthahughes7783 8 ай бұрын

I trust him, too. And like you guys say, a trustworthy, honest reviewer is hard to find in this day and age. I’ve actually bought a couple of things based on his reviews, and haven’t been disappointed.

I just wanted to say, I've been watching for seven or eight years now and I'm still to this day excited to see what you've reviewed and especially how the products have stood the test of time. I've both found products I'm interested in through your content and searched to see your views on a product before purchasing. I do not watch any other reviewers on youtuber and It's a testament to your professionalism and honesty. That trust is well earned so, thank you James!

My PowerXL works awesome. 6 months old and I use it numerous times per week. I do find buying bags works so much easier than using the roll. I think that's probably where the bad reviews come from. Getting the curled edge from the roll properly inserted can be a pain. But bags with a flat edge are so easy.

Sealing a phone would be a great use of the sealer. Perfect for the beach or something to keep phone ready for use and would probably still respond to touch if you don't want to break the seal. Might also be worth trying if phone got wet and you vacuum seal with rice for a couple days to try and remove moisture because you don't want to buy yet another phone or deal with warranty... shouldn't hurt anything even if it doesn't do much good. Great updates! 🍻🌎❤️🎶🕺

I have actually sealed my phone with my vacu seal and it worked great. I was also able to still use the phone while it was sealed.

My alternative method to vacuum seal stuff is place the stuff in a ziploc bag, stick a metal straw in the corner, and suck out the air by mouth... Though at 1c for square foot of high quality Costco shrinkwrap, I try to opt for that as often as possible...

The powerbank looks perfect for camping, or summer backyard movies. Charge peoples phones, maybe use a projector for a great movie experience. Popcorn maker, etc.

@jomo9454 9 ай бұрын

IMO a whisk should be able to whip cream or make meringue if you're willing to put enough elbow grease into it. Whenever you try a whisk I think "That's not why you need a whisk even though a whisk is better than a fork". A whisk can make a meringue or whipped cream given enough elbow grease so anything claiming to replace a whisk needs to be able to also or else you will find yourself in need if you want to do those things without some electric beaters or a stand mixer.

Easy homemade "Paper Towel Topper" is to use an old CD / CD-R and make the hole bigger, it took me only about 10 minutes, and that includes the setup to use the Dremel. 😎 (if you need to, use a knife to scratch/score the side that is against the towel for more friction)

@trumpeter811 9 ай бұрын

one more update i'd like to see for the rockpal is charging it at 100% and you checking on the charge once a week or once a month then reporting back. Cause some people may use it for emergency situations and that longevitiy of holding a charge is important.

Huh, I bought one of those tomato slicers after watching your video and mine works great. The one I bought didn't come with the handles, it just looks like a hair clip and it works great. I have one where you slide the tomato into a blade but I've cut the tip of my finger before, just the skin, didn't bleed, so I got some cut proof gloves and a friend was cutting tomatoes at my house with the gloves and they damaged the blade! The hair clip I think works better.

I loved my Power XL vacuum sealer the first 5 or 6 times I used it. Then it stopped working, it seemed to be a problem with the electronics. I contacted them and returned it following, to the letter, their instructions emailed to me for the return. That was in August 2022 . I received an email saying my return had been received. That was the end of that. No replacement, no refund, and no response to emails from me since.
