- Hello everyone, it's Barry here.
Welcome to My Virgin Kitchen.
Today is a gadget testing video, but one with
a slight tweak.
Right, Clo?
- Oh my gosh.
I'm gonna be a boxer.
- As you know, I'm becoming a little bit
of a kitchen gadget hoarder, okay?
Upstairs, there's loads of gadgets still there,
but a couple of them are just not really classed
as kitchen gadgets, so I'm putting three together
into a video that we can test...
Alright?
- [Chloe] I'm a boxer.
- She's a boxer.
Nice, nice.
I'm putting three together in this video
that we can just look at.
So let's crack on with the first one.
This is the first...
Where are you going?
She's off.
This is the first one.
This was basically part of one of those care package box,
random junk things you get sent.
Mrs. Barry got one for my birthday.
I opened it and this was random.
This was in it, it's called a microfiber mop robot,
AKA a Mopet.
Enjoy DIY.
It's got some sort of arms and a little face thing there.
Cute, self-adhesive sticker, which comes with it.
Oh, brilliant.
So it's a little mop like that with a smiley face.
Do you see that right there?
The rest is generally in Chinese or Japanese.
It's definitely from Asia.
Got a before and after picture there,
pink and then all the dirt on it.
So there's probably not gonna be any instructions in it,
but it's just more visual things here.
You can see how its got sensors, by the looks of it,
so it'll bounce off things.
You can wash it, you can wash the pink thing out,
and there is some...
I think that's probably flour or something,
so we'll scatter some flour or icing sugar
on the floor and test that out, and it will,
apparently, bonk off of things and go back.
(laugh)
That is it.
That really is it.
Oh, wow, look.
It's kinda like iPad design.
It's got just the one power button in the middle.
I'm sure Apple do really wanna take the rights to this.
On the back, oh, spinny wheels, yes, yes, see that?
Three AA batteries, must...
Yeah, AAs.
Alright, I've got some AAs.
I don't know what the heck that is.
That's some sort of scrapey claw thing, look at that.
There are actually some instructions.
Look at that, amazing!
So there's our pink fluffy thing.
Looks like a doughnut, or a hair braid,
or something like that.
(hum)
So I guess that must go around this edge here.
We'll set it up.
It's elasticated, look.
I'm just gonna guess that that goes on there.
(gasping)
Stickers! - Yes!
- Do you wanna put the stickers on it?
- Yes!
- Alright.
Take off mop from the body.
Drip aroma oil.
Open the cover and drip aroma oil into the thing,
so it can give out a nice scent when you're doing it.
Phebes, you look like a giant from the Naked Gun movies,
when he eats the banana, remember that scene?
You've got some on the side of your face.
The other side, and the banana falls down.
Well, we don't have the oil, do we?
Did it come with oil?
Do you see any oil in there, Phebes?
- No. - No.
- There's no oil in there.
Just negotiating the sticker situation right now.
I totally want Boston to sit on it.
(laugh)
- Me too. - Do you?
- I'm a boxer.
- So they're decorating the mop cover.
I hope it's gonna work without the oil, because...
I mean, if not, we could always
stick olive oil in it or something.
We should have a mop, a brush,
and an aroma box/aroma sheet.
That's not the sticker thing, is it?
Does it smell?
- No, it smells of a brand new object.
- Smells like plastic.
- It's gonna be a good one, man.
(humming)
We're decorating it!
- [Barry] Yeah, you've done a great job so far.
Look at that!
Is it upside down?
It's got a bow tie.
Aw, look at that.
Look, it goes perfectly around the camera lens.
Yes!
- Behold, the one and only Mopet!
- [Barry] Yes, look at that!
- Do you want help?
- Yes. - Alright, here we go.
Wrap it 'round like a big, pink doughnut.
Ah, is it on? - Yes, we did it!
- Look at that!
(laughing)
It's like a confused hair bobble!
Are we ready to use this?
- Yes! - Yes!
- Right, so we're gonna have to take this carpet off.
This flooring right here is brand new laminate,
but over there is a mix of old floor,
but it's not really dirty.
We keep it quite clean.
Let's let it move around and then we'll stick some
icing sugar down or something like that.
Sound good?
- Yes. - Yes.
- Alright, press that power button.
(squeals) (laugh)
- It's working!
- [Barry] It is, look!
Look at Amy.
Oh, wow.
(laugh)
The dogs are like, what?
(laughing)
This is the future.
This is like Terminator stuff.
How's it going?
Is it gonna get stuck?
No, there we go, it's gonna find its way out of there.
Boston's trying to work out what type of breed of dog it is.
(laugh)
It's getting well stuck!
(laughing)
Aw, there it goes, it got out of there.
Off it goes.
Yay!
(laughing)
- [Phoebe] It's just trapped!
(buzzing)
- [Barry] Let's try and make it like a mop, let's wash it.
I guess we're gonna wash this.
(splashing)
'Cause it was doing nothing.
It was just sort of buffing it.
- Yeah. - So at least
a bowling alley in house now.
- What are we doing next?
- [Barry] Yeah, now try it.
See if that cleans the floor.
- [Mrs. Barry] See our dirty floorboards?
- [Phoebe] Ooh!
- [Barry] It's doing a different motion now!
What?
Well, it's a very concentrated area.
(buzzing)
Maybe it's a bit heavy.
There's this thing on the drawing.
I guess that fluffs it up.
(buzzing)
Come on, now!
I don't know.
To be fair, that's working better,
'cause it is actually mopping the floor.
Hey, it's back!
- [Chloe] What did you do?
- [Barry] I just moved it out of the wet patch.
The ultimate test, though, is will it
gid rid of icing sugar?
Because that's what's on the box.
(shout)
- Aw, I got icing sugar...
Ready?
- Yeah, go.
(laugh)
It's hiding from it!
Oh, there we go!
- It's cleaning it up.
- Is it doing it?
- Now it's got--
- Ah, it's gone through it!
Look!
(laugh)
It's working!
It's working one little bit.
- Can I put it in this bit?
- [Barry] Yes.
- See if it actually does it.
Oh, gosh, it doesn't look like it.
(laugh)
(shouting)
It's just spreading it around!
(laughing)
- [Barry] It's not doing the best job, is it?
- [Chole] Aw.
- [Barry] Hey!
- That's cool. - It's cool when it
hits things, it goes a different way.
- But look, look at our immaculate floor.
Wow.
- [Mrs. Barry] Really?
- [Barry] I think the dogs are impressed.
- It's not cleaning it up, it's spreading it around.
(buzzing)
- Ah!
Get away!
Ah!
Yeah, that's a bit better, but I guess I could warn you
not to get this, but then again,
I have no idea how you get it.
I think I've scared off the girls,
'cause they've just gone out to the shop,
so this second one is where it might get
a little bit gross.
I'm warning you, but it might not.
Living with three girls, and can say this,
as they've gone out.
When they go in the shower...
I've even bought this mesh thing that you put
over the plug to stop hair.
They take it out, they don't like it,
and prefer it to actually fill our plug holes up
with their manes of hair.
Yeah, emptying out the shower.
Hopefully I'm not the only one, you know,
when you see me do that, lots of hair.
This is called the Drain Weasel.
You see that?
It's a weasel for the drain.
It's got a windy handle.
Instantly fix hair-clogged drain.
Quick-release disposal wands.
So you've got these big wands like that,
you've got two in a pack, with this handle.
Insert and spin.
Remove the clog.
You could potentially pull out of hair like that.
And then you just obviously toss it away.
So what it actually comes with, it's got these bristles.
I'm just gonna try and go a little closer.
Can you see those bristles?
Kinda like a toothbrush kind of vibe going on.
So they'll just grip one hair and actually curl it 'round.
It will just probably pull more, and more, and more.
You get it out of your drain.
Bearing in mind, actually, we've only recently
moved in here, so the girls haven't had that chance
to really clog the hair up just yet.
That said, who knows what the neighbours left behind for us.
When we moved out of our house, for example, we...
Alright, Boston?
(laugh)
He's just chillin' out.
He's freaked out by the mop thing.
We cleaned all of our drains and all that
with proper cleaner.
We wanted to give everyone a clean start, so to speak.
Right, welcome to our bathroom.
Very echoy in here.
This is the upstairs one, which has probably
had more use over the years.
Although, in fact, two days ago we put a new bath in it.
We don't think the wastes were really changed too much.
Take your cap out.
So apparently this is the key thing,
and then online you can just buy loads and loads
of extra wands if you need to and you
just snap them on as you go.
So it's got an outline like that and like this,
so we just push it in and then that holds it in place.
The Drain Weasel.
I was gonna say, there might not be anything
down this drain, so we'll just try all of them.
So I'm not even gonna be touching the wand.
You hold it like that.
(laugh)
I'm goin' fishin'!
Oh my gosh, I think I've caught something!
Ugh!
Yep, yep, that's Phoebe's hair.
It's fair to say that does actually work,
but I'm not planning on keep these,
so I'm just gonna get rid of this wand.
I'm like an angry Harry Potter.
(laugh)
Look at that!
Look at the bend on it!
Well, I got that right down into the waste pipe,
but we had this sink done the other day,
so not much in there.
I wonder...
Alright, guys?
I wonder if it works on a kitchen sink.
Don't know if there'll be any hair down it, but...
No.
This is our new shower.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now, for some reason, this cap is not coming off,
which I really need anyway to clean the shower regularly,
but there is some hair down at the bottom of it,
so I'm gonna try and use the Drain Weasel,
even though I can see the hair, to try and hook it out.
It might actually be good.
(laughing)
Look at...
It's attached to it.
Oh my gosh, ah!
(grunt)
Oh, I'm courting a beauty!
Isn't she gorgeous?
Oh, there we go.
Cleaned it out, though, and with the massive
ball of hair that's just sitting there...
Oh my gosh, look!
Please, this could look a little bit weird
or disgusting if it doesn't already to some of you.
Watch this.
So I wound that around, pulling that out.
Look!
It's completely empty!
(gagging)
Yeah, I'm not gonna come any closer with that,
but that's a lot of gunk.
Well, I never thought I'd film my shower on camera,
but there you go.
It says you can clean this off the brush.
It does work really, really well, so this is the thing
you need to keep and buy extra wands online,
if you wand-to.
Now, do not worry.
I have saved the most exciting, and hopefully best,
although I was really impressed with that, 'til last.
This, hopefully you've seen it online,
is a can of nano protector spray.
Annoyingly, this has got instructions on the can
that are in most languages other than English.
Water.
Look, what the heck is that?
What is that?
It's like chocolate sauce!
Mustard, look at mustard!
It just runs off.
Oh, god.
I don't know if I'm gonna do what I wanna do here.
I really like this top.
Lemme get another top and then
we'll spray the top and the shoes.
I got this T-shirt, It's a YouTube Space London T-shirt.
I actually quite like it.
Let's go to the garage and spray it up,
'cause I don't wanna do it in the kitchen.
You're getting a full-on house tour today.
But actually, guys, if you wanna see a full-on house tour,
do let me know.
I'll do a video of that soon, once we're done.
Maybe you'd like to see that, I don't know.
Alright, welcome to one part of my garage.
It's a bit of a mess at the moment, but hey-ho.
It's now the nano-tech spraying area.
Shaky shaky shake.
(hissing)
Don't know if it shows on there.
Yeah, it's actually darkened them straight away.
(hissing)
That does stink.
I didn't clean then, but I've only worn them once
at a wedding.
So hopefully you can see how darkened they've got.
I hope that by leaving it for 10 minutes or half an hour,
as it says on the can, is gonna make it sort of
dry back to how it looked before.
Otherwise I've just completely given them a new shade.
I guess mustard and stuff like that slides off it
because there's high water content in that still, right?
So it's not really the colour of it, it's just the fact
that the water isn't actually bonding to the surface,
so it should slide off.
That's what I'm hoping for, anyway.
(hissing)
Alright, let's come back to this in about 15 minutes.
(bright music)
I've just realised I did that entire segment there
without the microphone on.
(laugh)
I don't know how that happened!
But in conclusion, so far, the coffee worked,
the water worked, the mustard...
(grunt)
So what I was gonna do is move the camera
and try it at a different height.
That's where we're at, right?
I mean, it's not staying on the shoe.
Look, it's not staining it.
Any mustard that hit it that's come off has...
I'll wash it off.
Yeah, it does actually wash off, but I'm running
out of coffee and it's spilling everywhere.
Toffee sauce.
(gasp)
Look!
That is just peeling off of it.
Did you see that band?
It just ripped away from it.
Let's do the other shoe.
Look at that.
It's a bit cold in my garage, but that is genuinely working.
It is running off, and the bits where it were,
again, are bone dry.
It's just gonna take a long time to run off.
I'm feeling confident to try the T-shirt now.
I ain't gonna do too much, but water...
(splash)
Oh my gosh!
I didn't see what happened, but...
(splash)
I'm gettin' the floor.
It's drenched!
Coffee.
(splashing)
Oh my gosh, look at that!
Mustard.
(sputter)
Kinda.
(sputter)
No.
(laughing)
Great.
Hi, this is my summer lookbook.
Toffee sauce.
Let's go lower.
(gasp)
It does run off, look!
Look, look at that falling off!
Look!
(snort)
I don't know whether to say if this works or not.
I don't know.
Hey, come on, now.
I mean, it's just a splash, right?
I look like I've had a proper accident there, don't I?
I'm trying to help it a little bit.
Is that doing anything?
Nah.
There we go.
I hope you enjoyed that slightly different twist
on gadget testing with those household ones.
Don't forget to have a Bar-athon now.
There's loads of playlists, including the kitchen gadget
testing ones that you guys absolutely love.
So thanks for all the love, folks.
I better tidy up properly now.
