- They are the five best Amazon Basics products.
I have the deals, the unboxing,
and a big giveaway comin' right up.
(cha-ching sound)
(gentle music)
Hi, I'm the YouTube Deal Guy Matt Granite.
This is getting really difficult to hold.
There are a lot of batteries in here
and some great tech items.
Welcome to my home.
This is your home for savings.
In the video description box
right under me, you're gonna find
a bunch of links to my favorite Amazon Basics products.
If you guys don't know, Amazon Basics makes everything
from pillows to diapers and dog beds.
I've had a chance to test a lot of the items
and feature them, but I thought it would be fun
to make a top five list
of products under 20 bucks
that really get the job done,
and the items are at a fraction
of the cost compared to competitors.
At the end of the video,
I'm gonna give away your pick
of any Amazon Basics item
that I featured today, and I wanna show you
the five items before we get to the unboxing
and the demonstrations, and why they are so crucial
if you're a consumer looking to save.
Of my five favorite Amazon Basics products
under 20 bucks, let's start with the Bluetooth speaker
where size is deceptive.
You get this right out of the box,
and I will tell you, yes, it's Amazon Basics.
The packaging is basic.
You're not getting Apple-esque packaging,
but you are saving a lot of money
and they are packaged well.
You get the Bluetooth speaker itself.
The size is deceptive.
I'm gonna give you an audio test in a moment,
and I will tell you, it comes out of the box
ready to rock, carries a charge,
and comes with the cable.
I wanna show you the water resistance
on this two-sided speaker.
Check with out.
(pop music)
Still working.
Perfectly clear audio.
It's inside the speaker
and you can still hear perfectly!
This is insane.
In the number four spot, and also under 20 bucks,
the iPhone cables.
How many iPhone cables do you go through or lose?
And before you go pay Apple their full ripoff price
for their lightning connector,
which does the exact same as this,
and before you go to a dollar store
and pick up some knockoff that could potentially
ruin your device, this is certified to work
with Apple products, hugely well-rated,
you can pick your length and color,
and you save a lot of money in the process.
And you can plug that iPhone cable
into my favorite surge protector
in the number three spot.
One of the amazing things
about this surge protector is
that it only occupies one outlet
so you can still plug something
in underneath if you needed to.
Now I wanna show you why I love this.
Let's start by quick charging a fully-loaded iPhone ten.
You wanna be really careful what you plug
into this device itself.
This is the Amazon Basics cable.
As you can see, now charging perfectly.
In the other available slot, I can plug
in the Blue Prime phone, charging perfectly, great.
And with the surge protection,
I could charge a Macbook Pro,
I could charge whatever device it is I want
or you could power a television.
This is surge protective and safe enough
to use with a major appliance,
and of course I have two available slots left.
This is an awesome grab under 20 bucks.
And the number two spot,
if you need HDMI cables, this will work beautifully
with an Apple TV or a great way
to connect a FireTV to your 4K television
or really anything where you do have available HDMI slot
in the back.
We use these for monitors within our studio
and I will tell you what,
you can go run out and buy a monster HDMI cable
at Best Buy or some other store for full price.
This gets the job done
at a fraction of that cost.
This worked just as well in our test
as many other competing cables on the market.
The only one that beat this out was
the Marseille mCable.
It's an HDMI system for 100 bucks
and unless you're a visual expert,
you probably won't notice the difference.
Batteries in the number one spot.
Amazon Basics batteries outperform
in terms of all of my tests,
or at least hold their own.
Wow, this is great packaging.
They hold their own against Duracell
and Energizer for a fraction of the cost.
You can get 100 double A batteries
for what would regularly be 20 batteries
from most other competing brands.
Before you run out to a pharmacy
to buy your batteries there or some other dollar store,
these are incredible.
How long do they last?
Well, they last just as long as the top-performing
batteries, but I rely upon these for all of my
television broadcasting when I work
at YouTube or other shows.
(off-air tone)
(upbeat music)
I've already been using this battery pack
for four hours.
It still has full power.
This outperformed many other brands.
I love the reliability,
and they also make rechargeable batteries.
Now, those are my favorite Amazon Basics deals
located right under this video screen
under 20 bucks, but there are other items
which I love that, for example,
the Amazon plates.
Yeah, they actually make plates,
which have held up really well in the dishwasher.
I did an unboxing, a demo of this a while ago
with actually one of my favorite contestants
from Master Chef Junior, he joined me
and he actually really liked the plates.
The bedsheets, awesome.
The diapers are great, I'm told.
And even the pet beds have even made appearances
on this channel.
There's camera accessories.
Oh, by the way, Bluetooth speaker.
Still doing really well
after that virtual submersion, so it's here.
It's my favorite list this week,
and I'll have many more lists to come.
What else do you want me to test?
It'd be awesome to know.
