My toddler highly recommends the Nordicware popcorn bowl it doubles as a amazing hat.

I love checking out all the kitchen gadgets at Walmart when I go. Something about random kitchen utensils is so intriguing

Aww, Bailey's cute old gray face 🥰 By far the best co-host you could ever ask for.

I have the mini sandwich maker and use it often. I always butter my bread instead of oiling the plates, works every time and it's easy to wipe clean. Would highly recommend it.

I find the best microwave popcorn popper is a paper bag. Fast, easy, and I don't need to store an extra bowl that I can't use for anything else.

Bailey is the star of the show. She needs her own review channel.

Bailey is too cute! I read that Ninja has new products coming out in 2024! They’re my favorite products for you to review. Happy New Year everyone!!

I'd be interested in seeing a Freakin' Reviews Hall of Fame for products that not only tested well but held up after many months or years of use.

The Ninja chopper is almost identical to mine that I have had for at least 15 years, except mine also came with a larger container in addition to the smaller one (and storage lids). There are blades for both. I believe it was one of the first products Ninja ever made. It was very inexpensive and continues to work great and I use it almost weekly.

I've had a ninja chopper for many, many years at this point. No complaints. Great product.

I have had the Ninja Chopper for about three years now, and love it. It works so quickly, it’s easy to clean, works well for hard items, as well as for blending up soft items, such as cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon, to make a dessert. Mine came with my Ninja 5 In One Grill. The sandwich maker, while it made the bread a bit too flattened, it worked quickly, evenly toasted the bread, and the cheese was nicely melted. The most impressive thing about it was that you did not need to spread butter or even mayonnaise on the bread beforehand. Yet, the sandwich came out looking very appealing. The popcorn bowl was a hit for me…efficient and mess free. Those chopping boards are not worthwhile. I bought them once, and soon enough they started to get cracks, stained greatly, especially in the cut marks, and for chopping extra hard foods such as carrots, they were not the greatest. As compared to a decent wooden board, the food tended to roll around too much while chopping. The bacon cooking rack was a bit of a waste of money, I feel. It made a good mess, and took a bit too long to cook the bacon. It is easier to just lay bacon strips down on a piece of parchment paper, on a tray, and either cook it in the microwave or oven. To prevent added mess, cover the top with another piece of parchment paper. Also, I could see it being just another item taken up needed space in a cupboard. Your microwave is powerful, so I did expect it to cook a bit faster. It looks like your local Walmart is very well stocked with reasonably priced items to choose from. Thanks for reviewing these items. 😊

The mini sandwich maker is called a jaffle maker in Australia. It was invented here in 1949. I highly recommend using it with puff pastry and making dessert ones with Nutella and bananas.

Ninja Chopper amazing I got mine years ago it came with 2 containers so you could lift blade out leave chopped veg in container in fridge and put blade in next container. For folk with hand dexterity issues I can highly recommend it is, a little workhorse

Thank you for showing Bailey! The bacon cooker is a no go because I don’t want grease on my microwave. The cutting mats, however, look good, especially for $5.00. I’m on my way to Walmart for a chopper!

Plastic ice cubes are a must-have if you like your wine super cold! No ice to water down the wine! 😊 They are super easy to rinse off and store in a zip lock in the freezer.

I have a sandwich maker, we use it for grilled cheese, pizza pocket sandwiches, pancakes, cake batter, biscuit dough and much more. I must mention the sandwich maker I have was made in the 80's and still works just fine. I had the cutting mats and after about a week of use it was so cut up it was useless and had to be thrown out. I am the type of person that doesn't buy anything new unless the old one breaks. I have the same chopper/food processor I have had to almost 20 years. I had a thick plastic cutting board I bought in the early 90's Last year my nephew came to stay with us for a few weeks, I have a gas stove.. he set my cutting board on top of a hot burner and my cutting board become part of my stove top. It melted enough to sink down onto the burner and fused with it. I had to have my son take it out side and heat it with a cutting torch to get it off. I was upset about losing my cutting board but I got a nice new one for Christmas from my Nephew.

I have the Ninja blender you talked about in this video and it’s great! I use it 6-7 days a week. At using it twice a day (including cleaning), I only need to charge it about once a week. I didn’t like the BlendJet, but this one by Ninja is a keeper ♥️

Don't know if I wrote this but my best method of salting popcorn is to put a little bit of cooking oil (1/10 of regular cup maybe) and salt (like half of the small spoon) into a regular plastic shopping bag and put popcorn in the bag and tumble it in this bag for a minute. Perfectly salted popcorn. Greetings from Poland. You might do some experiments with proportions yourself.

I've had a set of the chopping mats for years and I love them.

Love that chopper.. With non stick frying pans they all work great while relatively new, its all about how long the non stick lasts over an extended period of time

I've used the flex mats for slicin and dicin for over a decade. Love em.

I love these multi store purchase videos!

I don't cook bacon in the microwave any more, but the best method I found was just to lay your bacon out in a plate and cover, cook on high for about three minutes. If it cooks laying down, it fries in it's own fat. All these gadgets, or cooking on paper towels, separate the fat out. The reason bacon tastes better in the pan is because you're cooking it in hot fat. So just use a plate!

Thanks for checking out all these, love your videos. Keep up the good work. Great cutting boards.

I’d love to see you do these at like Target or Costco, I feel like you’d find more overpriced things there and I’m interested in seeing the difference

I have so many uses for those cutting mats, I make quilt patterns out of them, scrapers, sorting tools etc.

The cutting mats are great. I've been using mine for at least 3yrs. They are marred but I haven't cut through any of them. They don't slip, easy to wash, you can fold/curl them, lightweight , & cost effective

I’d like to see dollar tree gadgets. I always wonder which ones actually work and are worth the post taxed dollar

Happy New Year! Looking forward to more next year!!

Love the cutting mats!. So easy to use.

All of these items feel like a flashback episode, Haha.

Silicone chopping mats are super great.

Love LOVE my Ninja chopper. Had mine now for about 3 months. Great for chopping nuts really fine, like pecans. Even chicken. It's just a perfect food chopper.

I love the chopping mats and a plus they don't take up room in my very tiny kitchen. Easy to clean and last really well.

Love my ninja chopper. So easy to use and clean,

Always enjoy your videos. Happy New Year.

I have had the Ninja Chopper for years. I love it today as much as I did when I received it. The blades are still just as sharp. I do handwash the blade.

I bought a Beautiful air fryer for $30, because my old one croked. I was pleasantly surprised. Would love to see a comparison of cheap air fryers under$50.

Love the cutting matts

I agree that chopper was pretty awesome. I think that is going on my birthday wishlist lol. I was wondering about those ice cubes. They definitely need some serious washing before I would stick them in my drink but might work good for coolers or ice packs.

Thanks for the video, some actual useable things is a nice change.

We have been using those flexible cutting boards for years. They hold up great. Even the really old slippery ones were durable, but the new ones with grip are fantastic

Putting a kitchen towel folded under the chopper helps with the noise.👍

i love my spicy shelf deluxe..had it for years, couldn’t do without it

Spicy shelf is a must have.

I’ve had my flexible cutting mats for years. ❤❤

been using the cutting boards for years... they are great

Well put together review video. Thanks.

That chopper is amazing!

We've used those cutting mats for years. They are very useful

Happy New Year, James ❤

Happy new year James freaking White! 😂 Fun vid

I had no idea the blend jet was recalled. I just submitted my claim, thanks. I bought mine after seeing your review on it.

My friends mom was using an equivalent to those reusable ice cubes 20 years ago. I think they mostly just used them in school lunches though, worked great for that.

I love Ninja Products, too!!! Happy New Year, James!!!

I have a similar cheap set of cutting mats that I have had for a long time. I really like them and will purchase more in the future. No more Expensive cutting boards for me.

I have the same cheap cutting boards and I’ve had them for years and I love them

I have always done 1 minute per slice of bacon that I cook in the microwave. So like 6 pieces of bacon I would put in for 6 minutes and start to watch at like 5 1/2 minutes to check. Some microwaves will be done at 5 and 1/2 minutes, some at 6 minutes and some need a little more. If I had the choice of the microwave or a pan, it would be a pan or flat top griddle. @13:35 Based on the testing you did on this chopper, I have decided to go to Walmart tomorrow and buy one. Thanks!! For $22, you can not beat that! It seems that most if not all the products that you have tested from Ninja in the past couple years have all been very well made and the performance they claim is what you get!

Yeah, the ninja chopper looked very impressive.

I use the igloo ice, one sheet I left whole, one sheet cut into cubes. They work great in my mini fridge small freezer section.

great products reviews thanks

That ninja is like the older model I have with motor on top and interchangeable containers and blades. I love mine

I love my Ninja chopper - I was as surprised as you at the efficiency of this little guy. No need to pull out my Blendtec for little quantities any longer! :)

I feel like Ninja is by far the best counter top appliance manufacturer. All of their products just seem to work extremely well. I used Keurigs for years and the coffee was always decent but the machine would die within a year or two. Bought a Ninja and the coffee tastes better, it's lasted longer (with no issues whatsoever), and it has more features. I also have their 5 in 1 counter top grill/air fryer and it's amazing. I use it all the time because it's so versatile and easy to clean. Definitely my go to for appliances!

Loving this new series James!

I have some flexible cutting mats that I need to replace. So thanks for the review on those!

Thank you!!! Great reviews! Have a great 2024!!!

I use those cutting mats and I have had them for years. They hold up in the dishwasher too

I LIKE THE IDEA OF MY DRINK NOT GETTING WATERED DOWN.

I bought a Ninja inversion blender/mixer system, I bought the chopper accessory separately to use with. I believe it was 40 bucks which is somewhat expensive, but it works just like the standalone chopper you tested. I use the chopper to pulverize veggies usually to make homemade tomato/marinara sauce or soups. It so quick I can make things in small batches and then combine them to make one big batch.

I've had the cutting mats for about 5 years and still going strong 😊

I have the Spicy Shelf. I love it. It has raided triple the space for my spices. Going on 8 years and still holding up. ❤

Happy New year to you!!! 🎉. Love your channel!!! Bailey yes more Bailey!!!

As a niece of a chef you are supposed to remove the seeds from peppers before you eat them and wash the inside n outside of the peppers. 😊 The cutting mats for 5 bucks have been around for years. I love them.lve used them for years. I keep one on my counter at all times. Love your reviews. Paper towels and a paper bag make the best bacon maker. 1 min per piece of bacon. Easy clean up. Open the paper bag ,line with 2 sheets of paper towel, then make layers 3 slices to one layer with 2 sheets of paper towels.In between. Then turn the ends of the paper bag over tape with kitchen masking tape. Put in microwave. Let sit 2mins before removing. No mess in the microwave. Cut the bag open, remove bacon. Yum BLTS.

Just found you. TY for the info. Will be watching!!!

Those bottles are amazing! Got one for Christmas an I love it!

That chopper, for sure, is going to be on my counter.

I have that ninja food processor and I've had mine for years so and it still works great I love it.

I absolutely love my bamboo board for raw chicken! It traps the juices nicely for future recipes.

i have a double version of the sammich maker. it squashes everything and works better with the crusts cut off.

I have those cutting boards and I really like them especially for cutting veggies on one and chicken on another to keep them separate. I’ve had them since August and I use really sharp knives on them. They’ve held up nicely and clean easily too. Also use them a lot to make avocado toast on❤

I’ve been needing a new food processor and honestly for the price, that thing looks pretty dang good!

the reusable ice cubes killed me 🤣

This Ninja Express Chop is AMAZING! Chops fast & easy clean up! It's great if (like me) you own reptiles that need their veggies chopped up. In a snap and done! I also use it to make ham salad spread with leftover ham and chop my own food! It works as a Ninja should, never disappointing! I love Ninja products! Thanks for reviewing it for me, I was having a hard time finding a good chopper!

Happy new year for Canada 🇨🇦

I used an earlier version of the Nordic Ware popcorn bowl for years and it is great but I found a WW healthy kitchen silicone bowl at Burlington store for $1.99 & its now my favorite. Works great , folds up to a smaller size & no silicone taste to popcorn. Most silicone things I've tried in past leave a weird taste for me (ice trays etc) making me discontinue use but not my popcorn bowl. Love it

We really like the cutting mats. Yes, you can cut through them if you have sharp knives and are cutting something that requires a lot of pressure. The ones we use, are dishwasher safe, (maybe they all are) so we don't care what color we use for what. At that price point, replacing them is no big deal.

Many of them are a resurgence of older products, some are very useful. Walmart it is impossible to find non non-stick or ceramic pans and with all the information coming out on non-sticks we are still not willing to go down that path. Good skills and seasoned stainless for us. Appreciate your videos.

Nothing can touch the WowBacon okay? That is THE mac daddy of microwave bacon gadgets. It actually cooks it in 4 minutes, no splatter, easy grease collection if you want to save it and easy disposal if you don't. And yea that chopper is a buy, mine was cheap and works just as well, but that one has WAY more room.

I dont even know what id use that Ninja chopper for but Im so impressed I want it

I bought the cutting mats from Wal Mart in 2005, different shades-same colors, and we still use them at least 3 times a week.

one of your best vids, ninja sequence was great! :)

I have the ninja chopper for a couple of years. It has been the best investment in my kitchen. The quality is incredible.

The ice cubes are great for an ice pack (the old fashioned kind with the screw off cap) it keeps the pack cold and doesn’t sweat.

I've had that ninja chopper for probably 8 years and its still great

I got the popcorn maker years ago. Wasn’t impressed. But I still have the bowl. Very practical for a small plastic bowl.

I've had the flexible cutting boards before and they are very good. I also have an ice thing similar to the one in the review, I use mine to help cool off leftovers before putting them in the fridge. And I think you sold me on getting that Ninja chopper.

I like the Ninja chopper, sandwich maker and the cutting boards.

I used to have those cutting boards. Used them as a board for making bread too. The marks only get worse. Lost them during a move. Will get them again.

Use those flexible cutting mats always. They work as funnels always.
