Your videos are so calming and comforting. I often watch them when I'm having anxiety because it distracts me and you just seem like a nice, safe person.
Thank you @David Alvarez @Emily @Snobbylion I don't know about growing a "pair" of testicles, but I can grow a pair of brain cells to donate to @adamzinger. At this point, it might double his I.Q.
@@ChrisM243 yes it’s the same as the video, don’t know the brand but if you search on Amazon , you can find some easy enough that hold up to 500lbs ... mine didn’t claim that.
I got the expandable stool because of ur video. Amazing. Good for hiking/backpacking, an extra chair, foot rest, to hold up my laptop to eye-level (for posture), and I even use it at the head of my bed to keep the pillows from falling through the gap between my bed and the wall.
I really think you are probably the only product tester that I have ever watched that does update videos. I love them! I know it has to take up a lot of room to keep all of those products. I really appreciate your dedication. Your hard work shows!
Something which I recently found out about was that a lot of these ‘biodegradable’ plastics require special industrial composting facilities, which are both expensive and in practice near non existent. What I’ve heard ends up happening with these ‘biodegradable’ plastics is they get put in the landfill, ultimately being less recyclable than normal oil based ones. This would probably explain why your cup didn’t degrade at all in water.
I really appreciate the updates. They really showcase the usefulness and quality (or lack thereof) of the products. Especially stuff like pans or every day objects like the trashcan and the popcorn bowl. The kind of products that seem useful in theory but will they be usufull day to day?
I also bought those scrubby gloves and found the best use for them is cleaning the bathroom. Scrubbing the shower tiles, counter top and toilet seat... 👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks for the video! ✌🏼
My wife and I love the update videos. Too many products are just trying to fix problems that don't exist, lol. Keep it up, we look forward to every vid!
You are imo the best gadget review tuber I know of. Keep being great man! You get right to the point are very through and even come back w updates. You the best!
I haven't been watching your videos all that long but already bought several items you reviewed, either the same or very similar ones I could get in Germany. Thanks to your videos I bought one of these shredded memory foam filled pillows and since then my neck pain is completely gone. The stool is still on my list - thanks for the update (and reminder).
My husband and I bought the dryer vent hose cleaner for our drill and it works great. I think you featured it a few years back. We use it every 6 months and the lint that comes out of out dryer vent (which vents through the attic and out the roof) is incredible. It makes our dryer work better every time. Thank you!!!
If the best thing you can say about a product is “If you play around with it a little, you might actually enjoy it” it probably isn’t that great lol!! 😂
I bought the collapsible stools as Christmas presents because of your review. Thank you for the service you provide in making these videos. You’re the best! 😊👍🏼
this is interesting to watch because i only recently discovered your channel and the last month watched so many older episodes, think i caught up and watched most of these products.
I found a double pack of those "silicone sponges", they're not gloves they are shaped like flapjacks and have the tiny nibs on both sides, they work well for fresh messes and not so well for dried on food. What I like most is that they rinse clean and don't smell!
Those kitchen gloves are AMAZING dog bathing gloves. That's what I end up using mine for. Also have used them on myself as well. Which it works well there too.
Great follow up James! I was wondering if you could start adding chapters to your videos. That way, those of us that remember the original reviews can skip past the recaps.
When I first found this channel, I just binged your update videos, like: life hack, get through content even faster 😂Re: the DREEM wallet--until I got a pop socket, I used wallets exactly like this but without the magnetic detachment feature. They were useful, but they don't last forever. When you first get them, the little card slots are so small they're almost unusable and the pocket part is so tight that it won't hold much cash. Then you hit the sweet spot where you can put your daily use items in there and it will usually sort-of close. But then the card slots become so loose, or the interior pocket so worn, that everything falls out, the exterior coating starts flaking off, the cardboard inside gets torn, and you've gotta buy a new one. On the upside, it IS convenient and also usually has a built in prop-up function for your phone. But they're not built to last too much daily wear.
Thank you sir! Because of your reviews, I have purchased an Ultimate Purple Cushion, a Shamwow Face Mask, and some other appliances that has made my life easier.
I have one of those collapsible stools. It is great for when we go wandering around Salem, MA. That way when I get dizzy or such, we take it out of our backpack and I can rest for a few minutes.
I'm so glad you did those gloves. I almost bought a pair but after watching decided I'll stick with my sponge. When I saw your pup in the background watching you I wondered if he was thinking "I wonder who he's talking to?" LOL
i love love those flipcase wallets ... i dont put cards in them. I put in either sticky note with some quick notes or public transport tickets. Also never had a phone screen scratch ever while using them.
I love my collapsible stools and even got a table that clips in and holds 4 of them when the table is folded. It only seems to work with the 1st gen stools with the original non-"wave" design clips
I have been using the mighty wallet for years. I don't even remember for how long but i think for about 6 years (for sure not less) and it has been holding up really well. No complaints.
I got and use an Ekster wallet myself and I do think it was thanks to your original video that showcased them. The action is still fun even now. I got a collapsible stool too, though we haven't really used it too much (since we never went away on a vacation, for obvious reasons). My mum used it for a bit when we had a driveway chat with my sister. Other than that, not much.
Use those gloves to bathe your dogs. We use them for the horses, game changer! And I just ordered that trash can. Missed the original review, but man, I love gadgets🤣
hiya ! New sub here... just small warning, my comment is maybe gonna be long and full of bad grammar (i m French, i try my best XD) I very like your channel for many reasons: - appreciate that you convert everything into our system, like the degrees, the weight, the length etc... It's very confusing for me when someone talk about a "quarter of an eight inch" or something like this XD it's crazy difficult for me. - It's very nice that you also give infos about the product, like the price, the place you got them, the name, etc... very like that, in case something is interresting, i know where to look at and have an idea of how much it may cost :D - Very like that you give many tries to each products. Giving them some chance and see some changes. Sometime it may not work first time and work nice at the second... This is something that many didn't do. I like it, it give a fair review and more chance to the product to show how it work, or if it really fail. - I also like that you read instructions. I know it may sound idiots, but many people didn't and then, they do it badly and give a wrong review. also the fact you contact the company is a fair move, because it also give an idea if the customer services is nice or not, wich is something that nobody ever mention or even try when showing/testing a product. - Something i really like is that you don't have some kind of insta-hate based on rumors or else... i mean, like you say many times, it's not because it's cheap that mean it doesn't work. i saw a very big amount of american people who instantly bad rate something because it say "made in China" on it. What you do is good, you can't give an honest opinion without giving a good try to the product, whatever it came from or whatever quality it is. Even "cheap" feeling stuff can be surprisingly better than big company things :D I wish you a nice continuation, and all happy things with alots of product to test :D. Keep up the good work ! You are the most honest and funniest reviewer (not sure if this word exist XD). Oh and.. i mean... "wish" in both ways of the word. (If you see what i mean XD)
So, I finally got around to trying to imitate the Taco Toaster. 15sec in a damp towel in the microwave. set the tortillas stand alone in the toaster and boom - worked like a charm!!!
🤩 They should update anew version of that trash can so it talks. I think it would be hilarious if it said things like "than you" or if it could judge on how much garbage you have in a day.
It's funny that those little bag resealers are now a thing. I remember buying one, from a dollar store (every item was $1), in the '90s. This was quite a while, before Dollar Tree became THE dollar store.
I'm big on those pop-up minimalist wallets. They work great and my favorite one is the Grip 6. Admittedly I am currently using one of those phone case/wallet combos, though. Mostly because I bought it for my dad for Father's Day, but he passed away on May 19th, so I decided I'd use it for him.
I've been using the Mighty Wallet "Wealth Of Knowledge" for many years now. It's minimal weight and size help it dispenser in the pocket. I've also got several compliments on it. I'd like to get the Great Wave version as I like the painting with the same name. The wallets have a lot of storage if needed.
Hey, I actually remember the mini bag sealer. I also remember considering buying it, haven't happened and probably never will, unless I see it in some store for cheap. The ultra-small wallet looks like it'd need a small top to keep everything from falling out every once in a while. Had it been side-loaded (instead of from the top) and had a small strap or something to keep everything in it'd been a rather interesting option. Why'd you ever exchange a tortilla for a hard taco shell (they always crack in the wrong way)? :o
Your videos are so calming and comforting. I often watch them when I'm having anxiety because it distracts me and you just seem like a nice, safe person.
@Adam Zinger she's a woman
@Adam Zinger grow some empathy
I agree, I don't even buy stuff like this but the videos are so calming!
Hes actually a serial killer. He eats them for breakfast.
Thank you @David Alvarez @Emily @Snobbylion
I don't know about growing a "pair" of testicles, but I can grow a pair of brain cells to donate to @adamzinger. At this point, it might double his I.Q.
I still love my collapsable stool , would have never bought it without your reviews. Keep up the good work
This stool works great best item in the video
Is it the same like in the video? If yes, can you tell me the name of the brand/seller?
@@ChrisM243 yes it’s the same as the video, don’t know the brand but if you search on Amazon , you can find some easy enough that hold up to 500lbs ... mine didn’t claim that.
I have one and a memory foam seat cushion makes it even better for a portable stool, in this age of social distancing it’s an absolute must have.
@@ChrisM243 he linked the original in the videos description

Now you've got me thinking about getting it.
I really think you are probably the only product tester that I have ever watched that does update videos. I love them! I know it has to take up a lot of room to keep all of those products. I really appreciate your dedication. Your hard work shows!
I love the collapsible stools. We picnic A LOT, and keep them in the car, along with our folding pop up picnic table.
Something which I recently found out about was that a lot of these ‘biodegradable’ plastics require special industrial composting facilities, which are both expensive and in practice near non existent. What I’ve heard ends up happening with these ‘biodegradable’ plastics is they get put in the landfill, ultimately being less recyclable than normal oil based ones.
This would probably explain why your cup didn’t degrade at all in water.
I really appreciate those round glasses, they make you look approachable and it gives your entire head-face complex a really nice shape.
I just love Bailey, she's such a good co-reviewer. Yall both keep up the great reviews !
Love the updates! Always fun to see which items proved to be something other than a fleeting novelty.
You know you’ve made it when companies start stealing your content for their use 😝
Luara you look gorgeous in you pfp 😮
I really appreciate the updates. They really showcase the usefulness and quality (or lack thereof) of the products. Especially stuff like pans or every day objects like the trashcan and the popcorn bowl. The kind of products that seem useful in theory but will they be usufull day to day?
What did you do for your birthday? Me, watching Freakin Reviews! Great channel
Happy birthday man, hope your year was a good one
I also bought those scrubby gloves and found the best use for them is cleaning the bathroom. Scrubbing the shower tiles, counter top and toilet seat... 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the video! ✌🏼
My wife and I love the update videos. Too many products are just trying to fix problems that don't exist, lol. Keep it up, we look forward to every vid!
Right! Like the finger clip for chips. That's what soap and water is for. At the very least, use a napkin or towel to clean your hands.
You are imo the best gadget review tuber I know of. Keep being great man! You get right to the point are very through and even come back w updates. You the best!
These updates are always my favorite!
I haven't been watching your videos all that long but already bought several items you reviewed, either the same or very similar ones I could get in Germany.
Thanks to your videos I bought one of these shredded memory foam filled pillows and since then my neck pain is completely gone.
The stool is still on my list - thanks for the update (and reminder).
I absolutely love the updates, I'd say these are even more useful than the reviews themselves.
Anyone remember those gloves that were advertised for peeling potato’s????? 😂 I want a potato glove video 🥔
I think he reviewed them when he done a potato peeler review along with the Rotato and Oxo products
Here’s the vid in question.
ua-cam.com/video/JMhwKtARgnw/v-deo.html
Just boil and rinse with towel same with tomatoes.
Yes, I remember
These updates matter almost more than the original tests! Thanks James
Always love spending Sunday watching Freakin’ Revews
I want to thank you for all your vids especially through this pandemic.
literally just ate popcorn from my salbree popcorn bowl! We love this thing
I’m in love with Freakin Reviews
My husband and I bought the dryer vent hose cleaner for our drill and it works great. I think you featured it a few years back. We use it every 6 months and the lint that comes out of out dryer vent (which vents through the attic and out the roof) is incredible. It makes our dryer work better every time. Thank you!!!
If the best thing you can say about a product is “If you play around with it a little, you might actually enjoy it” it probably isn’t that great lol!! 😂
I bought the stool. Love it. So easy to carry or transfer from vehicle to vehicle. Perfect for short rests not for long lounges
My day was going stale 'till I saw a new upload. Your content is so entertaining. Keep it up man 👍👍
I totally agree...some in this video really worked but I don't think I will be always using them for practicality.
Don't know if you've done any hose attachment videos but different types of sprayers and any "pressure washer" attachments would be great to see.
Great update on Wins and FR Boneyard victims.
I bought the collapsible stools as Christmas presents because of your review. Thank you for the service you provide in making these videos. You’re the best! 😊👍🏼
this is interesting to watch because i only recently discovered your channel and the last month watched so many older episodes, think i caught up and watched most of these products.
Nothing better than waking up and I get to watch a new video from your channel wooooo
Thank you, your reviews are so well done and so helpful!!
You're throwing me off James with these Saturday uploads haha. Well done as always!
I bought a collapsible stool after your original review of it. Keep up the vids!
Those dish gloves are great for bathing my dogs!! Helps get the suds going and spreads it well all over the fur.
I found a double pack of those "silicone sponges", they're not gloves they are shaped like flapjacks and have the tiny nibs on both sides, they work well for fresh messes and not so well for dried on food. What I like most is that they rinse clean and don't smell!
The flat silicone sponges are really good for opening tight bottles too.😊
What about creating hotdogs in the shape of a hamburger. "The Dog Hammer"
I saw those on QVC recently.
🤣🤣🤣
I mean you could make Casings in the shape of patties...
But you can just buy pork patties.
Well, you can now make the bacon burger dog, from "The Cosby Show". Just don't eat anything from Bill Cosby.
Those scrubby plastic/rubber gloves are great for cleaning up animal messes!
Thanks for the update. The collapsible stool is really cool.😊
thanks James, I always like the previously reviewed videos -
Gotta pick up one of those folding stools before my next trip to the DMV. I'm gonna be the envy of everyone in the line!
Really love your channel and you help me to spend my money wisely.
I didn’t see your original scrubbing gloves video but I was legit buying some earlier today until I saw this! Phew!
Those kitchen gloves are AMAZING dog bathing gloves. That's what I end up using mine for. Also have used them on myself as well. Which it works well there too.
Great follow up James! I was wondering if you could start adding chapters to your videos. That way, those of us that remember the original reviews can skip past the recaps.

Speaking of wallets, have you considered doing a review of minimalist wallets?

Cute doggy Bailey is going to steal the show dude lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really enjoy these update videos!
I would love you to do a boneyard declutter video. Cleaning videos are so satisfying
My on uses the popcorn bowl several times a week. Would never have seen it if it wasn’t for your review. Thanks!
That taco toaster absolutely terrifies me
I bought a Mighty Wallet based on your review. Still holding up for me and isn't too thick!
James your videos are awesome, I watch you before I buy something, YOURE LIKE A COUPON
Love the wallet section. Love this channel 🤙
The phone flip wallet is great. It has been my main phone case for years!
I bet your kitchen cabinets are just pure chaos
I'm so glad you did those gloves. I almost bought a pair but after watching decided I'll stick with my sponge. When I saw your pup in the background watching you I wondered if he was thinking "I wonder who he's talking to?" LOL
The popcorn bowl does work quite well.
"wow that's completely stuffed" "look at the thickness of this thing" so many That's what she said jokes you could've made on the wallet review lol
"Its a little bit floppy"
@@Koselill Can't tell when you reach the bottom
Always enjoy the updates! You are very thorough with your testing.
The hamdogger is the most ridiculous thing I've seen. I'm glad you made one by hand. lol
James is coming in hot with the Dr Dre beat in the background. 🔥🔥
I need that bin for the bathroom 😦 love a bigger one for my kitchen. It’s only me and my doggo so that would be perfect for us. 🙌🏼❤️💡
i love love those flipcase wallets ... i dont put cards in them. I put in either sticky note with some quick notes or public transport tickets. Also never had a phone screen scratch ever while using them.
The pb&j wallet reminds me of the inside of the gatefold album, Volunteers by Jefferson Airplane.
I love my collapsible stools and even got a table that clips in and holds 4 of them when the table is folded. It only seems to work with the 1st gen stools with the original non-"wave" design clips

A word on the smart cup: Bioplastic is not necessarily biodegradable, it only means that the plastic was made from organic sources

how to know you're a james fan? When you've seen most of these products and you don't even actively seek out these vids!
Good job on the new edits James
The popcorn maker bowl reminds me of a product from the late 1980s or early 1990s. It was for microwave use but was rigid plastic.
The fake sham wow should just be called the sham
Invader zim? a man of high class I see!
So, I finally got around to trying to imitate the Taco Toaster. 15sec in a damp towel in the microwave. set the tortillas stand alone in the toaster and boom - worked like a charm!!!
Something tells me Bailey took his handy shammy and decided to bury it.
Hey James! I’m suggesting that you should try out the Hosome Ice Maker. I saw it can make 9 ice cubes in 6-9 minutes. It’s a bit expensive though.
I would try those dish washing gloves for washing the dog.
🤩 They should update anew version of that trash can so it talks. I think it would be hilarious if it said things like "than you" or if it could judge on how much garbage you have in a day.
The only reason to buy something like that is as a diaper bin. Not sure I want commentary on that.
It's funny that those little bag resealers are now a thing. I remember buying one, from a dollar store (every item was $1), in the '90s. This was quite a while, before Dollar Tree became THE dollar store.

I have noticed that in every video you wear sunglasses, they are wonkey. I just want to reach through the screen and straighten them every time
Nice invader Zim drawing
I bought the popcorn bowl because of your review I use it all the time
Hey, I actually remember the mini bag sealer. I also remember considering buying it, haven't happened and probably never will, unless I see it in some store for cheap.
The ultra-small wallet looks like it'd need a small top to keep everything from falling out every once in a while. Had it been side-loaded (instead of from the top) and had a small strap or something to keep everything in it'd been a rather interesting option.
Why'd you ever exchange a tortilla for a hard taco shell (they always crack in the wrong way)? :o
Flexing the platinum card! 👍
Were you in Australia at the time you reviewed all those wallets?!!
They definitely looked like ‘pineapples’ (Australian $50 notes)
I always thought you could be your son's roommate or something, like damn dude you look great for having a kid who's a little older than I am
Those sunglasses make you look like a mad scientists
